Chapter 274: Xu Qingsi from Purple Qi Prefecture

Xu Qingsi, from the most mysterious purple gas state.

In Kyushu, the Purple Qi State is the smallest and the least famous, because it is mostly behind the Middle-earth Divine State. The word purple gas is taken from the purple gas from the east. Somewhat similar to the Eastern Awakening Lion State, most of the monks in the Purple Qi State are qi practitioners.

Dongxing Lion State is full of sword immortals, and Purple Qi State is full of qi practitioners.

There is also a Southern Luoqi Prefecture, and there are many qi practitioners, such as Hua Lao, whom Fang Yao got acquainted with, is a qi practitioner in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. However, there is a big difference between the two, South Luoqi Prefecture, turmoil continues, and from time to time there are families perishing, and the qi practitioners there are as fierce as physical cultivation, and they are decisive in killing.

However, the qi practitioners of the Purple Qi Prefecture only seek immortality, and few of them come out to fight and kill.

Purple Qi Prefecture is not so easy to go, there are people guarding the gate to enter the state, and they are not allowed to enter without their consent. Purple Qi State is said to be a state, but the area is not large. It's even slightly smaller than the Ten Great Cave Heavens.

Xu Qingsi is the contemporary head of the Xu family in Ziqi Prefecture. He and Liu Guanshan are people of the same period and have lived for many years. Liu saw that the mountain Shouyuan was approaching, but now he is in good condition, and he does not look old at all, which is related to the legend of Ziqi Prefecture.

Purple is the most auspicious and noble, for the saint and auspicious complexion, implying that business is prosperous, people are prosperous, career is prosperous, and wealth is continuous. As the saying goes: Purple gas comes from the east, and blessings are full.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yin Xi, the guard general of Hangu Pass, was a figure who was good at looking forward to the test. That day, he was standing outside the pass, looking up at the clouds, and suddenly saw a ball of purple gas floating from the east, and Yin Xi saw it. I knew that there were gods coming, so I let people go out of the east gate within forty miles every day, clear the road, and welcome the gods. As for himself, he stood by and waited.

On this day, I saw an old man, sitting on a green ox, walking leisurely, followed by a servant. Yin Xi understood that this old man was a Taoist immortal, so he hurriedly went up, and when he asked, it turned out to be Lao Tzu, so he left him to rest in the pass, and took the opportunity to ask him.

This Lao Tzu, surnamed Li Ming'er, is the ancestor of a fairy. There are different theories about his origins. Some say that he was born as a god, there is no heaven and earth, there is Lao Tzu first; some say that his mother conceived him for 72 years before giving birth to the earth, and when he was born, he was also different from ordinary people, he was born by cutting open her mother's left armpit, and his hair was white when he was born, so he was called Lao Tzu.

Some say that his mother gave birth to him in front of a plum tree, and he was born to speak, pointing to the plum tree and saying, "Take it as my surname." ”

Therefore, the surname is Li, some say that he was born when he was the third emperor, and changed his name in the following dynasties and manifested as the emperor's master, and some say that he served as the librarian in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There are different opinions, and it is not easy to make it clear. Immortals, originally in a trance, if there is nothing, mortals are difficult to distinguish.

Let's say that Lao Tzu has been in Kyushu for a long time, so he wants to go west out of the customs and go to Kunlun Mountain. On this day, he passed through Hangu Pass and was retained by Yin Xi. He thought that he had never taught an apprentice in Kyushu, and Yin Xi was also a man with a good backbone, so he stayed in Guanzhong temporarily.

Lao Tzu's servant was named Xu Jia, who was hired by Lao Tzu when he was a teenager and agreed to pay a hundred yuan a day. Cumulatively, there are 7.2 million

Many. Xu Jia saw that Lao Tzu was about to leave the customs, and hurriedly asked Lao Tzu for debts, but Lao Tzu ignored him, so he asked someone to find Guan Ling Yin Xi.

The middleman didn't know that Xu Jia had been following Lao Tzu for more than 200 years, and only heard that he would have 7.2 million yuan to get, so he agreed and proposed to marry his daughter to Xu Jia. Xu Jia saw his daughter, she was handsome, and she was happy in her heart, so she agreed. The two went to find Yin Xi together, so the three of them went to see Lao Tzu together.

Lao Tzu scolded Xu Jia and said, "When I hired you, I gave you the 'Taixuan Qingshi Fu', so you can live to this day." Now how do you talk about the change of fortunes? Originally, it was said that the rest of the country would convert the commission money into gold and return it to you, how could you not bear this little time?"

After speaking, Xu Jia opened his mouth and spit out the Taixuan Qingsheng talisman to the ground, and Xu Jia immediately became a pile of dry bones. Yin Xi hurriedly interceded for Xu Jia and expressed his willingness to repay his salary for Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu threw the Taixuan Fu away, and Xu Jia came back to life. Yin Xi took out two million money to Xu Jia, asked him to leave, and then worshiped Lao Tzu as a teacher.

Lao Tzu taught him the secret of immortality, and said that after Lao Tzu taught the Great Dao, he went out of the quicksand in the west, and he didn't know what to do. Guan Ling Yin Xi, insisting on cultivating the avenue taught by Lao Tzu, also became a god.

So, he began to practice in Ziqi Prefecture, and his family grew stronger and stronger. even changed his surname, and several families in Ziqi Prefecture all said that they were Yin Xi's descendants. They pursue immortality, do not fight and kill, and the emperors of all dynasties have great respect for Ziqi Prefecture.

Therefore, the ups and downs, disputes and disturbances have nothing to do with the Purple Qi State.

Xu Qingsi, although he is a qi practitioner, he is different from the ordinary qi practitioners in the Purple Qi Prefecture, he is very good at killing. The reason is naturally that when I traveled the world, I met Liu Kanshan.

Splashing and rolling were all taught to him by Liu Guanshan.

Now Xu Qingsi controls the entire Purple Qi Prefecture with one hand, and the other families are slowly unable to compare to the Xu family.

This time I came to Xie Baoshu because Liu Kanshan wrote a letter to himself,

Xu Qingsi was very curious, Liu Kanshan was obviously dying, and he was unwilling to write to himself. You must know that your own Xu family has a way of immortality. Liu Kanshan was unwilling to go against the principles of heaven, so although the two were friends, Liu Kanshan had never contacted him for many years.

This time, for the sake of a teenager, he actually wrote a letter to himself.

Therefore, Xu Qingsi, without hesitation, spent a lot of immortal jade and came directly to the Ice and Snow State. There is nothing he can do about the situation here. But in the face of Xie Baoshu, he still has a lot of methods.

Liu Guanshan, an old friend, is such a successor, can Xu Qingsi still watch him being killed by the Daomen?

It just so happened that Xie Baoshu had an immortal seed on his body. Xu Qingsi is very familiar with this immortal seed, because he also has one in his body. It's just that the two come from different sources, and the one on Xie Baoshu's body is the smallest of the three major peach trees in the world.

This is the biggest one.

He took Xie Baoshu with him and prepared to go back to Ziqi Prefecture.

At this time, Song Heng walked in, and took Xu Qingsi's two maidservants. He looked at Xie Baoshu and said to Xu Qingsi, "What's the matter with this peachwood sword?"

Xu, if you want to take my disciple away, you have to give me an explanation. ”

Xu Qingsi's maidservant girl was holding a sword in her hand, which was a peachwood sword.

As a kind of magic weapon, the magic sword of Daomen is different from ordinary secular weapons in that Daomen gives the magic sword a special religious function. This is the so-called "sword, warding off evil and controlling evil, and subduing demons".

There is no shortage of such records in the Taoist scriptures, that is, the high Tao uses the magic sword to forbid the water, and those who are sick drink the talisman water and are immediately cured. Daomen real people use the magic sword to work hard, and those who are sick and suffering are more supported by the magic sword, and the diseases they suffer from are immediately eliminated. If a real person uses a magic sword to swing at a person who is sick, it can cause the evil qi to disappear, but the patient will not be harmed in the slightest.

In the Taoist rituals after the Great Qin, Gao Gong sometimes used a wooden sword to perform the law to summon the gods and break the prison to survive. Wooden swords are mostly made of peach wood, so they are also called peach swords, and the folk have always had the view that peach wood can ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons.

Slaying the dragon Daojun passed on to the ice wood sword, no more than eight or nine inches long, if it shakes in the wind, it can be three feet four or five long, and the wooden sword is sprayed with a charm, which is used to detain the gods and send the evil spirits away. The inclusion of the characteristics of the magic sword in the wooden sword is also a concept based on symbolism. Daomen believes that the essence of the sword is penetrating to the sky, and the wooden sword has the function of suppressing demons and chasing away evil spirits, in fact, there is a basis for the righteousness of Daomen.

This Xu Qingsi, who even carries a peachwood sword, is he not a member of the Daomen?

Xie Baoshu frowned, he didn't even see the peachwood sword!

Xu Qingsi didn't panic at all, and said: "This peach wood sword is exactly what was taken from the peach tree in my house. Xie Baoshu should be familiar with the smell above, if I am really a person from the Daomen, why should I come here so blatantly?"

Song Heng snorted coldly and said, "If you want to kidnap my disciple, it's not that simple. ”

Xu Qingsi pondered for a while and said, "Then since this is the case, Senior Song is not at ease, how about you go to Ziqi Prefecture with us?"

Song Heng nodded, this is okay. With him, it's no problem to protect Xie Baoshu.

Xu Qingsi looked at Xie Baoshu and said, "Take you to Ziqi Prefecture, do you know what to do?"

Xie Baoshu shook his head.

With a slight smile, Xu Qingsi spit out three words: "Seek immortality." ”

Now hearing these three words, Xie Baoshu is now sick to his stomach, he looked at Xu Qingsi, and his face became worse and worse. As soon as he talked about immortality, Xie Baoshu remembered the lingering nightmare he had in Taoyuan Wonderland.

Xu Qingsi seemed to know his experience, and said: "Our immortality is different from the immortality you know. ”

Is the "longevity" pursued by the monks merely the length of life?

Of course not. Since ancient times, immortality has been a dream goal for everyone from the emperor to the common people, as described in the Zhuangzi book that real people can live forever, and the Taoist books of the past dynasties record that there are many monks who live to be more than 100 years old. Yin Zhenren said: "If a person's roots are firm, between breaths, he can win the righteousness of heaven and earth, and his life will be extended." ”

What is the meaning of nature? The beginning is true, and the spirit is also bright. What is life? Innate to the fine, Qi is also the same. Sex has no life, life has no sex, and the principle of life is unified.

Sex refers to people

The heart is the spiritual consciousness, the sex is the god, and the life refers to the human life, that is, the body, and the life is the qi. Human life is composed of spirit and body, and cultivating into an immortal is to condense the spirit and body of the spirit, so that the spirit and the body can achieve unity, and the spirit and body will be full of energy, the body will be natural and healthy, the mind will be peaceful and tranquil, and the heart will have a kind of joy from infinity, reaching a state of leisure, no longer limited by time and space.

Xu Qingsi said with a smile: "Your grandfather Xie Ding is just a physical maintenance and lacks spiritual nourishment. It's like having a lot of money, but you don't know how to use it. Where is a blessing? It's just a shackle. ”

Xie Baoshu was very appreciative of these words.

The immortality in the Taoyuan Wonderland is not the real immortality!

"Hug Puzi" says: Humane should be willing to eat, serve lightly and warmly, pass through yin and yang, handle official rank, smart ears and eyes, strong joints, pleasant color, old but not decaying, prolong life, arbitrary origin, cold and warm rheumatism can not be hurt.

That is to say, if you practice, you should eat delicious food, dress comfortably, know the things of yin and yang, have a little money, and at the same time have bright ears and eyes, a strong body, a comfortable complexion, and not be harmed by extreme weather.

And this is also the purpose of Daomen health preservation, Daomen Changsheng does not mean to make people: "Alone in the mountains, you will be cut off from human reason." ”

For this reason, the monks of Ziqi Prefecture pay attention to the dual cultivation of life, sex is the spiritual soul, and life is the physical body. Daomen health first let your heart not age, good heart, and then let your body be healthy, so that people are still at ease after getting old, without any disgusting old state, this kind of health is not much better than being old and not dying for thieves.

Purple Qi Prefecture is a branch of the Daomen, but it is not subject to the Daomen.

Xu Qingsi, although their ancestors were cultivators, they never got involved in the affairs of the Daomen, and they devoted themselves to practicing qi. Over the years, the entire Xu family has only produced a dragon slaying Daojun, so Xie Baoshu can rest assured.

Xie Baoshu believes that Xu Qingsi is not a bad person, just as he believes in Liu Guanshan.
