When Xie Baoshu returned to his room, he found three sword immortals waiting for him.

Xie Baoshu asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Li Fuyao and Miao Qing looked worried, and said: "This place, there are many ghost cultivators, are you sure you want to stay here? If we really fight, we may not be able to protect you." Let's go, get out of here and rest somewhere else. ”

Yang Shan Ghost was very direct and said, "That ghost master, I may not be able to stop it." ”

Xie Baoshu felt that these three sword immortal seniors were really thinking about themselves, of course, it was also possible that after they had experienced the things on Mount Tai, they didn't dare to put themselves in danger again. So, Xie Baoshu said, "Okay, in that case, let's go outside to rest." ”

In fact, if you have to stay, these three sword immortals will listen to it too.

But they certainly won't sleep well at night, and they're going to keep a vigil for themselves.

The amount of sleep required is related to age, so you should know the amount when you know it. It is best for monks with high realms to sleep, although it is said that they can hold on to not sleeping, but sleeping, can better fit the avenue. When you're ignorant, you can't do anything.

Why do Buddhist chanting sutras knock on wooden fish? When you sleep, you should not close your eyes like a fish, and you should be alert when you knock on wooden fish, and you should be enlightened day and night.

Xie Baoshu had heard that there was a cave in the Daomen, called Shizhushan Cave Heaven. This cave is strange and secluded, there are natural stone scenery such as crane shadow stone, turtle snake stone, pan peach stone in the mountain, as well as natural caves such as purple cloud cave, Tongtian cave, star picking platform, etc., the devil's axe is wonderful, and it is full of fun.

And this place, also known as the "Nine Immortals Dream Prayer Place", "Shizhu Wonderland" and "Chinese Dream Land", many monks go to Shizhu Mountain Cave, just to be able to sleep here, and then the dream comes true. This also indirectly shows that the monks also pay attention to sleep.

Xie Baoshu brought good things with them, did not say goodbye to Shang Yuliang, and left Killing Dao Peak directly. Under the leadership of Yang Shangui, he flew for about an hour before he found a cave and rested in it.

Among Xie Baoshu's storage magic weapons, there are all kinds of things, and no matter where you go, you can live well.

At night, the ghost of Yang Mountain was still not at ease, and consciously went out to keep vigil.

Xie Baoshu had no choice but to let him go. The world is big, and the sleep is the biggest!

Half of a person's life is spent in sleep, and sleep is of great significance to health. The Taoist sleeping technique is: "Sleep in the east and sleep on the side." Like the bend of a dog, like a dragon's plate. Bend the humeral pillow with one hand and rub the umbilical eye with the other. One foot is outstretched, the other is slender. God does not gallop, Qi is safe. Collect the heart under the hidden dantian, Shen Qi and synthetic pill.

Xie Baoshu's practice of "East Flowing Water" Qi practice method can also be practiced while sleeping.

To the extreme of emptiness, the silence of the faithful.

Shenqi naturally returns to the root and enters the dantian, and the breath is natural and continuous, and returns to the Yuan Sea. At this time, there is no need to have the mind to regulate the breath, and the breath will be stable, and there is no need to deliberately subdue the qi, and the qi machine will naturally subdue. When you wake up, you should first wake up your eyes and then your heart.

Then slowly stretch your body before you can lie down. Sleep is good, and you can enter the great tranquility, not a single thought, and the heart is empty. After that, if you can let go of your body and mind, you can meditate

There will be other good results, which are wonderful.

In ancient times, Taoism had a "feast and breath method": whenever there is night, there is nothing to hear, nothing to see, nothing to say, no heart to live, nothing to breathe, and nothing to move. Only a little Yuan Shen Yuan Qi remains, and they depend on each other, similar to a little fire in the furnace, endless, if there is nothing. After a long period of skill, you can reach the state of "God is full of sleep".

The so-called "nebuta" that hinders the path of cultivation also disappears unconsciously.

Xie Baoshu also finished reading the book before he began to pay attention to sleep.

Chen Luan's ancestors have 32 words of the secret of sleeping skills, and the name is "dragon stinging method". The recipe says: "The dragon returns to the Yuan Sea, and the yang is hidden in the yin." People say that they sting the dragon, but I sting. Hidden its use, breathe deeply. The white clouds lie down, and the world is ignorant. "The Tao is guarding the original life, and the real fire warms the outer kidneys. Looking back at the light, God lives in the dantian. ”

The core of the sleeping gong is the method of "heart and soul", which is indeed the true practice of ancient and modern true immortals, and is the most harmonious, simple and efficient subtle method. It is the secret of cultivating the truth that there is nowhere to find when stepping on iron shoes, and there is nowhere to buy ten thousand taels of gold.

In addition to Taoism, Buddhism also has a lot of understanding about sleeping. The sleeping of Buddhism is like boxing, first pay attention to a "standing pile!"

"To wash the bone marrow, start from the standing pile", standing pile is a posture, this posture can mobilize the qi of the whole body, promote the circulation of qi and blood. Standing piles can not only maintain the mind, but also exercise the body, strengthen the brain, and increase cultivation.

"Ten thousand movements are better than one stillness, and ten thousand practices are not as good as one station".

Thousands of years of practice have proved that standing piles is one of the best ways to replenish vitality and fitness. When the vitality is full, the person will be strong and have the ability to resist all diseases. Many people who are in good health stand on the stake for a long time, and they all enjoy a long life. And some infirm and sick people also benefit from it by standing on the pile.

Then there is the second step, meditation, which the Buddhism calls meditation.

The last step is the sleeping exercise, although it is called sleeping gong, it is actually a kind of qi practice, the so-called "sleeping its form but not sleeping its spirit".

Sleeping is very similar to sleeping. There is no thought in sleep, and the fixed environment is chaotic, so it is called "sleep" as "similar determination". Practicing according to the law while sleeping can naturally give birth to "fixed" gong, and then collect medicine and alchemy, the method is very easy, and its effect is very fast.

Every monk called sleep "the sleeping demon", fearing to fall asleep in silence, meditating all night long, forcibly not sleeping, and called it "slaying the sleeping demon". As everyone knows, sleep is a physiological characteristic, if you forcibly do not sleep all night, it violates the laws of physiology, makes the neuromodulation system disordered, provokes the sleeping demon, and is full of evils. Innate avenue, inherently natural.

Therefore, the great virtue of Buddhism, to sleep and practice, turn into wisdom, gradually give birth to the gong, the sleeping demon does not cut it and cut itself, and does not think about sleeping ears with divine feet. At first, when you do the work, you can fall asleep quickly, which is the effect. It is easiest to set, so sleeping is the prelude to the "big vacuum".

Xie Baoshu learned that the most famous sleeping skill of the Taoist sect is called the "dragon stinging method", and the most famous sleeping skill of Buddhism is called "lion lying".

Stings are hibernating, which means that cultivators can sleep like stings. In the past, the ancestor of the Taoist gate was known as the sleeping fairy, and it was often said that the ancestor of Chen Liang slept for a thousand years. There is a joke: there is a legend in history that lived for eight hundred

The year-old Peng Zu was born, and there was a red light reflecting the auspicious sky, at this time Chen Tuan saw Xiangrui and knew Peng Zu's birth, and it happened that Chen Tuan should have slept at that time.

When Chen Tuan woke up and inquired about Peng Zu's death for more than 200 years, Chen Tuan sighed: "I know that this child can't be raised." ”

There are many poems about sleeping in Daomen, and Xie Baoshu thinks this one is the most interesting.

"Good sleep style, don't have one, sleep samadhi. But the heart is sincere in sleep, and the mind is clear in sleep. The sleeping method can know the purpose and make it easy to adjust the energy in sleep. This sleep news, sleep peace, less artificial. Although the body is asleep, the sex is not ambiguous, and although the eyes are drooping, the inside is not closed. In the middle of deep sleep, steady on the ground. A pillow of breeze is cool to the bones, dreaming of idle games outside things. When I woke up, I was in the Guanghan Palace, sleeping with a toad. ”

The dragon sting method, Xie Baoshu also tried it. Chen Kuan's ancestor has many poems about sleeping skills that have been handed down, so Chen Kuan's sleeping skills have already spread all over the world. Although it is said that all the writings of Taoist patriarchs are written in code language, mortals do not know why.

But there are always people who translate these classics into the language of the Tang Dynasty for the common people to read.

Lie with your head to the east, and sleep on your side. It is like a dog bending down to sleep, and it is like a dragon coiling around. One hand bends the arm and the pillow, and the other hand strokes the dantian. One foot stretched, one foot retracted.

After trying it, Xie Baoshu felt that this posture was weird, and he couldn't sleep at all, so he gave up.

For ordinary people, the gods dwell in the eyes during the day and the kidneys at night, so that through sleep, they can attract the yin energy of heaven and earth, eliminate fatigue and restore energy. If you can follow this dragon sting method to hide your heart and soul in love with each other, you can seize the innate yang energy of heaven and earth through sleep, then Dan Dao can be turned into a very ordinary thing.

But Xie Baoshu doesn't know the essentials, ordinary people, how can they be studious?

Therefore, this dragon sting method is chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

After trying for a long time, Xie Baoshu didn't feel sleepy, and began to study the lion lying of Buddhism again. In the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that the lion is the king of beasts, and there are different advantages.

That is to say, among all other beings, the lion has the greatest strength, and its mind is high and stable, which can be described as "the heart is high and not low, and the heart is stable and unshakable".

If the lion is able to subdue other wild beasts, then the practice of yoga should also be like a lion, and he should be able to subdue his afflictions with great powers, so he should sleep like a lion. The sleeping postures of hungry ghosts, the heavens, and the greedy cannot be so brave and strong, and they can dwell on others, so that all three types of beings are slack, and their diligence is weak, and it is difficult for them to overcome others.

When resting before going to bed, when you go outside the room, wash your feet outside the house before entering the room, lie on your right flank, and fold your left foot on your right foot to sleep like a lion.

Xie Baoshu tried it, but found that it was still useless, and he couldn't help but be suspicious of these classics! He also went to fetch water, soaked his feet, and found that he didn't feel sleepy at all. Wouldn't this lion lie also deceive?

At this time, the Yangshan ghost who was keeping vigil walked in, looked at Xie Baoshu, and asked, "What's wrong, I can't sleep?"

Xie Baoshu was a little embarrassed and said, "Let's go, go to the vigil with you." ”

Yang Shangui shook his head and said, "Go to sleep, there are still things tomorrow, don't."

Stay up late. ”

Xie Baoshu said with a smile: "Brother Yang looks cold and cold, in fact, it is very intimate." Who will say that you are cold in the future, I, Xie Baoshu, will be the first to disagree. Go and rest, there is no danger. ”

Yang Shan Ghost nodded, but still walked outside the cave.

This prince of the former Great Sui Dynasty kept vigil for people at night, and he didn't have any other thoughts.

Xie Baoshu admired him very much, and returned to the tent by himself, no longer paying attention to those sleeping methods. Lying on the bed by himself, he leans on his back and sleeps as much as he likes.
