Chapter 892: The Legend Is True
When they arrived at Huashan, the father and son sat on the bluestone peak of Huashan: "Son, are you curious about Chen Tuan's ancestor?" ”
"Of course I'm curious, father, I'm really curious about the first person in the world to be the sleeping fairy."
"Since this is the case, I will tell you that the first step in the cultivation of Chinese martial arts is to enter the realm of the grandmaster, and the second layer is the realm of the Venerable, and to break through to the realm of the Venerable, you must learn the "Fetal Breath Formula". ”
"Father, why do you feel a little confused about what you said!"
"I'll tell you a story and you'll understand."
"You say!"
Immediately afterward, the One-Armed Venerable began to tell the story of Chen Kuan's ancestor.
In fact, Chen Tuan Ancestor also has another name, called Chen Chuan.
Legend has it that when Chen Chuan was young, he idealized that he would go to the official career through the imperial examination.
Although he was only a learned person and full of knowledge, he eventually fell to Sun Shan.
Since then, Chen Chuan has turned his energy to the cultivation of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao, in order to get rid of the strife in the world.
At that time, Wudang Mountain was the first mountain in Taoism, and Chen Chuan, under the guidance of Taoist priest Sun Junfang, came to Wudang Mountain Jiushuyan to practice in seclusion.
He has been practicing here for 20 years.
His internal cultivation technique has reached the point of perfection.
It is said that his advanced internal technique can place feathers in front of his nose, and the feathers do not move for a long time, and people test his snort, and feel as if there is nothing and unpredictable.
Later, Chen Chuan went to Huashan Yunguantai to practice, this time he practiced for nearly 40 years, and once again painstakingly studied and devoted himself to cultivation, and finally practiced the unique technique of inner kung fu Chen Chuan can sleep for about 100 days at most without eating or drinking, without covering the quilt and not moving.
"Father, you mean I'm going to practice the dragon stinging method!"
"Yes, listen to me keep telling you!"
When practicing this kind of kung fu, the breath should reach the point where there seems to be nothingness, and the pulse seems to be non-existent, and to reach this level to make oneself seem to be asleep but not asleep, this kind of kung fu has profound knowledge and can never be cultivated overnight.
It is said that Chen Chuan lived to be 118 years old, and the secret of his longevity is the result of his internal cultivation.
In order to carry forward his own achievements, Chen Chuan also compiled the theoretical exercises of Taoist internal cultivation, the famous ones are "Wuji Tu" and "Zhixuan Chapter", and his works are praised as the secret book of immortality by Taoist disciples.
Chen Chuan later traveled all over the world, visited the world's famous immortals to preach and learn the Tao, learned the art of internal strength, and at the same time understood the social situation at that time, and gradually cared about national affairs.
Chen Chuan had this ambition when he was cultivating in Wudang Mountain, and in his poem "Hidden Wudang Mountain", he revealed that he returned to Wudang, just looking for a powerful opportunity to make himself ambitious.
Chai Rong, the fifth generation of Zhou Shizong, knew that Chen Chuan was erudite and talented, and lived in seclusion in the mountains, and knew that Chen Chuan also had profound Taoism and mysterious inner skills.
Chai Rong wanted to use the high-ranking official Houlu to envelop Chen Chuan and contribute to his future unification of China.
Chen Chuan didn't look down on the official position he gave him at all, because Chen Chuan had his own lofty revenge and goals, and politely declined Chai Rong's benefits.
In fact, Chen Chuan felt that Chai Rong was guarding against himself everywhere, afraid that Chen Chuan would pose a threat to him.
Chen Chuan continued to ask to return to Huashan Yunguantai to practice, Chai Rong had no way to agree to Chen Chuan's request, but Chai Rong sent someone to secretly monitor Chen Chuan.
Just when Chai Rong's cause of unifying China was vigorous, Chai Rong suddenly fell ill and died. After Chen heard the news, he felt that his opportunity had come, and when he gathered the team to prepare to fight for the world, it was rumored that Zhao Kuangyin had launched a mutiny, and the Great Song Dynasty had replaced Hou Zhou.
Chen Chuan said to everyone: The dust has settled, and there is a lord in the world.
Since then, he has given up his determination to compete for the world.
Wisely, he returned to Huashan to continue his cultivation.
Chen Chuan missed his opportunity, cut off contact with the world, and devoted himself to cultivation and knowledge.
Although Chen Chuan was a hermit, he was not only erudite but also politically minded.
When Zhao Kuangyi of Song Taizong was in power, he was deeply appreciated by Song Taizong, and the two became friends.
Song Taizong gave Chen Chuan the title of Mr. Xiyi, which is the two sentences of Lao Tzu taken by Song Taizong: listen to it and ignore it, and see it as Yi, so as to appreciate Chen Chuan's profound Taoism.
Chen Chuan's most philosophical sentence summarizes Chen Chuan's way of doing politics and being a person: don't fall in love for a long time where you have good things, and don't go back where you have a good will.
There are still some legends about Chen Chuan's ancestors.
It is said that when Chen Chuan was young, one day he was playing and frolicking by the pool, and met an old woman, she reported Chen Chuan and fed him milk, and then smiled and said to Xiao Chen: When you grow up, you are pure and have few desires for fame and fortune, don't fall into the land of right and wrong, you are a smart person, you are better than others. After saying that, he left without looking back.
Later, people said that this old woman was an immortal who ignited and taught Chen Chuan's immortal method, so that Chen Chuan broke away from the mortal body and became a capable person with immortal wind bones.
It is also strange to say that after Chen Chuan has gone through this experience, he has become more intelligent, he speaks with witty words everywhere, and he is particularly insightful, just like the two of them before, and his eyes are extraordinary and elegant, like an immortal.
There are many wonderful legends about Chen Chuan, but the legend of Chen Chuan's death is even more legendary.
It is said that when Chen Chuan was dying, he already knew that the time of death had come, so he ordered his apprentice to dig a stone chamber in Zhang Chaogu under the Lotus Peak of Huashan, and also wrote a suicide note:
My life is over, I have no nostalgia for the world in this life, only the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts of the Holy Ming have grace and me, worthy of my nostalgia, I will be incarnated in the Lotus Peak under Zhang Chao Valley on July 29.
Later, after his death, the disciple compared with his suicide note, and the date of death was completely consistent. What's even more surprising is that seven days after Chen Chuan's death, his body was still warm, his skin was ruddy and elastic, and he was asleep to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan lived to be 118 years old and can be said to be a long-lived man, but during that period of the Song Dynasty, it was believed that only immortals could reach it. Chen Chuan's longevity is entirely due to his profound and subtle Taoist internal strength.
"Father, what do you mean by telling this story?"
"To participate in the family competition, you must enter the cultivation, otherwise, you will end up outside the Huaxia Martial Dao."
"Son, you must know that although you and my father and son were abandoned by the Wu family, I know the Wu family's mastery, and today I will teach you the dragon stinging method, as well as the "Fetal Breath Technique".
"Father, then you can teach me quickly."
"Don't worry, wait until the moon dawns tonight."
"Okay!"
"The descendants of my Wu family will definitely be able to stand on top of the world!"
