"What? Lost? ”

Besides, I was stunned, if it was lost, what would I cultivate?

Murong Yanran said with a smile: "What I said is that basically no one knows this kind of exercise, and I didn't know that you practiced this kind of exercise, but according to the characteristics you said, it should be the most popular Sumeru mustard seed Great Zhou Tiangong in the Qin and Han dynasties." ”

"That's a weird name." Besides, he smiled bitterly.

"It's a bit weird, but it's also the name given to An in the Tang Dynasty, and basically no one knew about this exercise at that time. During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and the people of the world were deeply influenced by Buddhism, so they gave such a comprehensive name of Taoism and Buddhism, which is weird. ”

"Then why can the seniors be sure that the exercises I practice are the lost Sumeru Mustard Seed Great Zhou Heavenly Gong?" Besides, he asked.

"This is easy to determine, Gongzi must know that no matter which school or faction of our inner strength in Middle-earth, no matter what your practice is, it is always inseparable from the big and small Zhou Tian, which is also the category of exercises determined in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, people still paid attention to cultivating the golden pill, which was not in the body, but the real golden pill, which was similar to a pill. ”

Besides, he nodded: "I know this, it's alchemy." During the Tang Dynasty, many emperors died on Jindan. ”

Many emperors of the Tang Dynasty died in Jindan, which is recorded in the official history, and the more accurate ones are Tang Taizong, Gaozong, Xianzong, Wuzong and Xuanzong, and several other emperors are also suspected of dying in Jindan.

In the Tang Dynasty, alchemy was not easy, and it took a huge amount of financial and material resources to practice, except for the emperor, ordinary people really did not have this financial resources, and the emperor became a victim of Jindan.

Interestingly, Wu Zetian also ate the golden pill, but nothing happened, it is said that the monk who gave Wu Zetian alchemy was too afraid of Wu Zetian, so the golden pill he practiced was fake, and Wu Zetian had no effect after eating it, but he didn't blame this monk, and the other Taoist priests who gave the emperor alchemy were basically killed.

According to the records of wild history, the great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing also ate a golden pill, and as a result, he was still strong and powerful when he was seventy years old, like a young man, he could hold a chair with both hands and then stand upside down, this is a seventy-year-old man. As a result, Yan Zhenqing did not die on Jindan, but at the hands of the rebels.

Of course, this is a wild history record, the authenticity is extremely poor, and it can basically be concluded that it is fake and shoddy, and in the wild history notes and novels, the records of the Tang Dynasty have the lowest credibility, as if gossip is their specialty.

However, cultivating internal strength is indeed like what Murong Yanran said, no matter what you cultivate, you are always inseparable from Zhou Tian.

Moreover, of course, this is very clear, the big and small Zhoutian, the eight veins of the Qi Jing are originally the foundation of Chinese medicine. Of course, this is very different from the exercises practiced by various schools and factions, which are passed down in a single vein for hundreds or even thousands of years, and have accumulated dozens of generations of successful experience, but also have lessons from failure, so that future generations will take a lot of detours, avoid countless dangers, and cultivate step by step into advanced internal strength.

Buddhism pays attention to the cultivation of the mind, does not pay attention to self-cultivation, Buddhism believes that the body is a shell, the cultivation of the body is purely the cart before the horse, should spend all the mind on the cultivation of the mind, Wang Yangming's mind is obviously deeply influenced by Buddhism, especially Zen Buddhism.

However, in the process of cultivating the mind, Buddhism also has to go through the process of large and small weeks, which is determined by the innate body structure of people, but Buddhism does not pay attention to this, so there are few expressions in this regard. Buddhism is the basic introduction to the cultivation of the mind to true meditation, and the big and small weeks are nothing.

Taoism also pays attention to concentration, but it is not meditation, maybe the principle is the same, no one can distinguish this thing clearly, and then Taoism began to distinguish clearly from the cultivation method of Buddhism, Taoism is to cultivate a golden pill in the dantian in the body.

Ordinary people call this kind of cultivation method the Danding faction, in fact, as long as it is an authentic Taoist exercise, there is no way to avoid the golden pill, which is also the Tang and Song Dynasty people saw that no one practiced the golden pill at all, and whoever eats it died, so they came up with another cultivation method, not to take the golden pill, but to fuse lead and mercury in the body to refine a golden pill.

There is a Taoist immortal figure who summed up the magic of Jindan in one sentence: If you swallow a golden pill in your stomach, my life is up to me.

Proud enough.

That is to say, as long as the Jindan is cultivated, people will be immortal, free from the six realms of reincarnation, and also out of the control of Lord Yama.

Of course, whether there is any Yuanying realm above Jindan, and then whether it is going to cross the thunder tribulation and ascend to the immortal realm or something, I don't know, it can only be regarded as the obscenity of a fantasy novelist.

But the realm of Jindan does exist, Jindan was a big and small Zhou Tian before, not what Zhuding, the saying of Zhuding is also directly from the Danding faction, not the invention of later generations, and the realm of Zhuding is only available to the Danding faction, and other sects do not have this kind of statement.

Murong Yanran said: "Although the road of Jindan is a complete failure, there are not no successful people, it is said that there is one who has successfully practiced Jindan, and after eating it, he really became an immortal." ”

"Who's that?" Besides, he asked curiously.

"Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Sui and Tang dynasties." Murong Yanran said with a smile.

Besides, he was suddenly solemn, this is the god he admires the most, the status of the medicine king Sun Simiao in the history of medicine is similar to that of Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs, Shennong is a myth, and Sun Simiao is a real person.

After the Tang Dynasty, medicine basically evolved from Sun Simiao, Sun Simiao's "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" not only influenced the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also shaded countless generations, worthy of the title of the Bodhisattva of Medicine, can be called the god of relieving suffering.

However, it is said that Sun Simiao eats Jindan and becomes an immortal, and he has really never heard of this statement.

"Sun Simiao's cultivation is the lost Sumeru mustard seed Great Zhou Tian Gong Fa, and the Gongzi's Gong Fa may have been passed down to his old man." Murong Yanran threw another blockbuster*.

"What did you say?!" Besides, his brain was a little dizzy, and he felt that he was stunned by happiness, and of course he didn't dare to think about what his family's ancestral exercises had to do with Sun Simiao.

"Originally, I wasn't sure, but now that Childe's exercises have these characteristics, it's undoubted. The so-called Sumeru mustard seed Great Zhou Tiangong is the saying given to An by later generations, and the name of this exercise in the pre-Qin period was the dragon ascension technique. ”

"Dragon Ascending Technique?" And it's confusing again.

"Yes, a technique that can be directly cultivated into a god, and it is said that it is also the only exercise that can truly cultivate into a god. At that time, most of the monks practiced this kind of exercise, but the success rate was too low. But this kind of exercise has an advantage, that is, even if you can't cultivate to the great level, as long as you cultivate to the small level, you can take the golden pill and become a god. ”

"Aren't Jindan all deceptive things?" Besides, it's a little confusing.

Murong Yanran shook his head and said: "Not really, there are many tricks to use Jindan to deceive people, but it can't be said that Jindan must be fake, Tao Hongjing during the Northern and Southern Dynasties also lived in the mountains to practice Jindan, and was made the prime minister of the mountain, it is said that he was refined into Jindan, of course, he ate it or not, whether he became a god or not, later generations have different opinions." Why is it said that he has really refined the golden pill, because Sun Simiao is his descendant, but his achievements are greater than Tao Hongjing's. ”

Moreover, he felt a shock, he didn't expect Murong Yanran's knowledge to be so extensive, and he could be described as a treasure of cultivation history.

But it's not surprising to think about it, Murong Yanran has done one thing in her life: cultivating. She should have basically browsed all the books in this area, her teachers are wonderful, and she also knows about the out-of-print cheats that the world may not be able to see at all.

Besides, knowing that Murong Yanran is a person, there is no nonsense, these words are probably asked by him, if someone else asks, she will definitely not confide a word.

"It is unknown whether Tao Hongjing has taken Jindan, but Sun Simiao did refine and eat it back then, but after his old man ate Jindan and became a god, he did not leave the world, but continued to practice medicine in the world.

Besides, nodding, Murong Yanran's words went to his heart. The historical figure he admires and admires the most is not Emperor Qin and Han Wu, nor Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, but Sun Simiao, not because of how miraculous his deeds are, but because of his heart to save the suffering and save the suffering, the Bodhisattva heart.

Before Sun Simiao was born, all the medical sects hid their secret recipes tightly, lest others follow suit, Sun Simiao broke this situation, he developed his own prescriptions and the secret recipes obtained from walking the world, all made public, this is the most famous "Qianjin Fang" in the history of Chinese medicine.

Sun Simiao's medical works are not only "Qianjin Fang", which is only his most famous work, he also wrote "Shen Pillow Fang", "Tang Materia Medica" and many other classics, which were basically lost later.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" was actually developed on Sun Simiao's "Tang Materia Medica", "Tang Materia Medica" was already missing a lot of pages in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen re-embarked on the road that Sun Simiao had walked back then, exhausted his life's energy to repair the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and finally achieved a guide to traditional Chinese medicine.

Besides, the heart was full of ups and downs, and it took a long time before he continued to ask: "Senior, in this way, alchemy is not all deceptive things, and there is also the essence of it?" ”

Murong Yanran smiled bitterly and said: "This kind of thing is difficult to explain now, but at that time, those Taoist priests were not all swaggering, this is certain, the emperor's family is not so easy to deceive, which emperor can run the world is a fool?" The refining of the golden pill is also an ancient recipe, and it is not made up by anyone, but these Taoist priests are a little incomprehensible, they know that although the emperor is extremely noble, they are also ordinary people, why dare they let them take the golden pill? This is certain death. ”

"Why?" Besides, I was surprised.

"Because ordinary people can't bear the fierceness of Jindan, the main ingredient of Jindan is mercury, and the so-called blending of lead and mercury refers to mercury, but the human stomach and intestines, as long as they take mercury, will fester, causing organ failure, and then death. In addition, even if Jindan has other drugs to suppress the potency of mercury, it is too hot and dry, and the human body can't bear it at all. ”
