Chapter 1 Discussion of entering Beijing
Laoshan Mountain, Qingfeng Peak, Baiyun Cave.
Senior Brother Hua Yun Dao Chang sat on the Taishi chair and said:
"Senior brother, this goes to the capital, the fierce is more auspicious and less, the master's "Secret of the Spirit Treasure", "Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Sutra", may be hidden in the inner imperial study, the master of the inner is like a cloud, and there are more Taoists in Jiangxi Longhu Mountain for the faint king, I am afraid that many Taoist techniques can not be performed, if you can't find the master's legacy, you don't take risks, come back and we will find a way, in case of accidents, you hide the soul, senior brother, I recall your soul here, remember not to lose the soul, I let your second brother send someone to assist you, In addition, when you pass through Shouguang County, the master's hometown, go to the master's hometown to have a look. Before his death, the master also told you to go to the Iron Buddha Temple where he became a monk, and find the elder brother of the master when he was a monk, and the elder will tell you that when the time comes, you will go out alone for the first time, and it is good to have more experience, be calm in case of trouble, and don't be impatient. ”
"Senior brother, I know, even if I can't find the master's legacy with my light skills, I can leave with my whole body, so you can wait for me at home with confidence."
"Okay, don't be careless, after arriving in the capital, inquire about the situation of the palace first, don't take risks if you're not ready. The master had lived in Tongtianguan in Jingxi before his death, you can go to Tongtianguan to live, observe the situation, and your second senior brother's people will also go there to find you, and come to discuss something, don't be arbitrary. ”
"Okay, senior brother, I'll go and prepare when it's okay, and I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Saying goodbye to my senior brother and going back to the room where I lived, in fact, cultivators have nothing to clean up. I just found a Taoist robe that I usually wore and brought it with me for changing and washing, and I couldn't bring the spirit jade sword, one of the five treasures of the sect, which the master passed on to me. The five treasures are: Xiaoyao Fan, passed by the master to the senior brother Hua Yun, purple jade ring, passed to the second senior brother Hua Tian, Tongtian Eye, passed to the senior brother leisurely, and the dragon descending staff was passed to the fourth senior brother Fenglei, and I got the spirit jade sword. These five treasures together can open my door secret palace, this sword I can never take out, in case of accidental loss, it will be troublesome, but it is not a way to put it here, if it is stolen, it is more troublesome, after thinking about it, put the spirit jade sword in the jade box, and put it on the beam. Seeing that there were no mistakes, I meditated on the bed and silently recited the alchemy mantra that my master had passed on to me.
My Taoist name Lei Yunzi, is Laoshan Taoism under the Jinshan sect of the founding patriarch Sun Xuanqing disciple of the door, five years old when the master passed by my village, I was playing at the entrance of the village, the master looked at my root Gu Qi is saying that I am a good seedling of cultivation, that is, genius, to say ugly, that is, born to be a Taoist, my future achievements should surpass my brothers, the master asked me to take him to my house, I don't know how the master persuaded my father, so I followed the master to the mountain. In the mountains, I followed the master to practice martial arts, practice calligraphy, learn Taoism, and get the master's teachings, ten years ago the master went to the capital to travel, and never came back. After the master left, under the guidance of the senior brother, I dabbled in the eight skills of the Jinshan School. Numerology, physiognomy, feng shui, Liuren, Qimen, Ziwei, soul refining, divination, for the eight skills, I am especially good, soul refining, Qimen and Liuren, speaking of soul alchemy, this is to talk about the unique secret skills of our Louguan School:
Alchemy
Man has three souls and seven spirits,
The three souls refer to "the soul of heaven, the soul of the earth (or the soul of knowledge), and the soul of man", which was called "fetal light, refreshing spirit, and ghost spirit" in ancient times, and some people also called it "the main soul (or soul), the soul of awakening, the soul of life" or "the original god, the yang god, the yin god" and so on. The three souls live in the spirit, so when the human body dies, the three souls return to the three routes:
The Heavenly Soul returns to the Heavenly Road and arrives at the Space Heavenly Road. Because the Heavenly Soul is only a conscience and an immortal "Wuji", because of the causal involvement of the body, it cannot return to the origin of the sect, so it has to be taken away to the sustenance of the Heavenly Road of the Upper Space, and temporarily taken into custody by its main god, which is the so-called "Heavenly Prison".
The earth soul returns to the underworld and reaches hell, because the earth soul can know all the karma of the main soul, and can also direct the good and evil of the living body, so after the death of the body, the earth soul enters the land of cause and effect.
The human soul wanders between the cemeteries, because the human soul was originally the body of the "Zude" surname passed down from generation to generation. With the courage of the seven spirits in the body, after death, the cemetery is to the god, and the place of sustenance for people to come and go.
Alchemy is to practice the three souls into one, after death, the soul of heaven does not return to the sky, the soul of the earth does not return to the earth, all attached to the soul of life, the three souls are one, it is beyond the five elements of the Three Realms, and can be reborn, this is the original creation of Zhang Lianfu, the founder of Laoshan Taoism, only passed on to the disciple Zhao Chongxu, this technique is too contrary to the will of heaven, so it is rarely inherited, by chance the ancestor Sun Xuanqing in Laoshan Mingxia Cave to practice enlightenment is to see the secret book, fortunately I am the only disciple who has to pass on this technique, but I am only a small success, just the first layer of the soul of Wutong.
When the master taught me, I was told that the so-called immortality of Taoism is soul refining, and there are three layers of soul alchemy, the first layer is to gather three souls for one soul, the second layer is to take away the rebirth, and the third layer is to practice the soul for the form, that is, there is no need to take away, and the soul can be cultivated out of the body, this is the highest level of soul alchemy, and the legendary earth immortal is the highest level of soul alchemy. Like their other sects, those who practice the inner and outer pills are all deceptive tricks, and you can live forever by taking a pill, so you don't need us to go to enlightenment and cultivation, how simple it is to take pills, since ancient times, there have been many people who have died of poisoning by pills, but they have never seen immortals.
It's just that the master was summoned by Ming Shizong to go to the capital, because I was young, so I stayed in Laoshan and had a senior brother who continued to teach me to practice Taoist exercises. As a result, the master founded the Jinshan faction, a branch of the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Taoism, and since then he has lived in the capital and never returned.
Listen to the senior brother: The master is talented and intelligent. His parents died early when he was 9 years old. Because of grief and blindness, he was unwilling to be fostered in his uncle's house, and went to the Iron Buddha Temple as a monk, taking Xuanqing as his name. Later, I heard that the Laoshan Taoist priest Xu Fuyang regained his sight after practicing for 20 years, so he came to the Mingxia Cave of Laoshan Mountain, abandoned the Tao of liberation, and gave Li Xiantuo as his teacher. After traveling to the Yunguang Cave of Tiecha Mountain, he was given the method of lifting and lowering the gate of heaven by Tongyuanzi. In the nineteenth year, Taihe Zhenren of Jimo County lived in Huangshi Palace and practiced here for more than 20 years. From time to time, he met the famous wind and dust chivalrous Zhang Sanfeng, and taught and assigned him. After a long period of hard practice, the master finally regained his sight. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1558), he went to the Baiyun Temple of the Beijing Master to sit on the bowl and practice, prayed for rain successfully, and moved the Beijing Master.
During his stay in Beijing, the master not only preached the Tao, but also used his leisure time to write two scriptures, "The Secret of the Spirit Treasure" and "The Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Sutra", and the Jiajing Emperor also summoned the master from time to time to consult about the Tao, but at that time, the eunuchs were rampant, and if you don't collude with them, they will harm you. At that time, the great eunuch Liu Yu colluded with the demon Dao Muhuazi, and wanted to seize the scriptures written by the master, the master failed to escape from the capital, under the siege of the masters of the Five Great Daoists, he was seriously injured and sat in the Baiyun Temple, and the scriptures were also robbed by them, dedicated to the Jiajing Emperor, and were hidden in the imperial study of the Emperor in the Ouchi, these two scriptures are the essence of the master's lifelong understanding, and they are also the most important classics of our door, no matter what kind of price is paid, my faction must find it back, if there is no such scripture, my Jinshan faction has no need to exist.
I went to the capital, and the reason why my senior brother chose me to go was because I had the best internal skills in the Jinshan faction, and the light skills were the best, and if there was no good light skills, it was not so simple to enter the palace.
