Chapter 493: Liezi Rides the Wind
Xuan Chu said: "I still don't like this method of hurrying, it feels a bit loose......"
Lu Dongbin smiled: "What's wrong with Tuxingsun? Isn't it good? ”
Xuan Chu said: "Well, it's not bad, it's just a little ugly!" "In this era where appearance is paramount, ugliness can say everything. But I don't know if Master can understand it!
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hahahaha, it turned out that it was caused by low appearance?" ”
Xuan Chu's eyes widened in confusion, and he thought, Master, how did you know what you were thinking? Uh, no, how did Master know about the saying that Yan was in trouble!
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Haha, don't think nonsense, I don't know what you children are thinking now, I don't know yet, I haven't used your mobile phone, it's all based on the appearance of eating, I already know the supremacy of appearance......"
Xuan Chu said, "Hehe, I thought Master could read minds!" I even know everything in my heart......"
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hehe, my own apprentice, I still can't touch my apprentice's temper!" I don't know how to ride a donkey! ”
"Uh, Master, where is this, you make me feel like a donkey when you say that, how ugly it is......"
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Well, too, the master shouldn't say that about you,......"
Xuan Chu said: "Master just said ten ways to hurry, but what about two that he didn't say?" ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "There are also flying body support tracks, and walking against the wind, among which the flying body support tracks, which is also one of the thirty-six methods of Tiangang, this kind of spell can fly directly with the body after successful cultivation, without the help of any auxiliary things, it can be said that it is also a very advanced method, or according to the level of cultivation of the practitioner to determine the flight speed and distance, of course, the starting point of this spell is a little higher, and it is more convenient in comparison." Huh? How do I think I've just said this? ”
Chu secretly covered his mouth and smiled: "Then go against the wind?" ”
Lu Dongbin said: "Resist the wind, the wind is one of the seventy-two techniques of the earth, the starting point of this spell is lower, which means that you can fly with the help of the wind, the legendary Taoist real person Liezi Feng Xuan Yufeng refers to the Liezi against the wind." Although the starting point of this spell is not very high, but the forcing grid is leveraged, just imagine what it is like to ride the wind on the spot, it is simply cool. Liezi's most famous skill is riding the wind. ”
Xuan Chu said: "Ah, this sounds really the best and coolest, Master can even use the word cool?" By the way, who is Liezi? ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "You are all saying, why don't I know, Liezi's skills were learned from everyone at that time, but why didn't the history say that the pot rode the wind, but Liezi became famous because of it, I think it may be because the use of wind by the pot at that time was still in the simple stage." In the book "Liezi", there is a Yin Sheng who wants to follow Liezi to learn the wind, and Liezi told him about the process of following the pot to learn the wind, after nine years of training, he has achieved no harm in the center of the mouth, and has reached the realm of forgetting things and me, the inside and outside are the same, the body is bright, and the eyes can be used as ears, ears as noses, and noses as mouths, there is no difference. So the mind is condensed, the body is dissolved, the flesh and bones melt, and unconsciously floats with the wind, flickering east and west, and finally can't tell whether it is 'the wind riding me' or 'I riding the wind'. ”
Lie Zi rides the wind, this story shows that the use of wind at that time was still in the realm of being at ease with encounters, just like a feather floating in the sky. But Zhuangzi said that Liezi walked against the wind, and this royal character was used very well, indicating that Liezi had made a comprehensive improvement to this technique, riding the wind like a royal horse, and Zhuangzi also said that he was "good and good, and there were five days in ten days." "To say that Liezi flies lightly and wonderfully, and goes back and forth every fifteen days, does not mean that he has risen from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom.
But Zhuangzi still doesn't look down on Liezi, he said that Liezi relies on the wind, or has something to rely on, it is better to "take the righteousness of heaven and earth, the debate of the six qi, and swim endlessly." This shows that by the time of Zhuangzi, the immortals had higher requirements for flying, and since Nanhua Zhenren put forward the theory, the disciples and grandchildren of Taoism began to develop it.
The so-called righteousness of heaven and earth is probably to use the natural laws of heaven and earth, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to say what the six qi of the "debate of the six qi of the imperial six qi" is, and there are many different interpretations of travel, some say that it is "yin and yang wind and rain are obscure", some say that it is the color of the east in the morning, the yang of the south at noon, the yellow gas of the sunset in the evening, and the qi of the north in the middle of the night plus the yellow qi of heaven and earth. There are many opinions, but one thing is universal: not just one gas, but all kinds of things in nature.
Xuan Chu said: "Doesn't Zhuangzi say that he is drunk and dreams of death, why is he interested in riding the wind?" ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "In the realm of Zhuangzi, the successors are like Edison experimenting with filaments, looking for various materials. Finally, they discovered a lightweight and easy-to-use material: clouds. This kind of thing is really good, first of all, nature is available at its disposal and is inexhaustible, and secondly, this material is very light and very conducive to flying. Soon this material was fully popularized in the immortal world, and almost all immortals mastered this skill. ”
Chu Chu said, "Master even knows about Einstein? I'm going to go, it's just cool......"
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "However, the material of the cloud only provides a kind of flying, it itself has no power, what to drive, or rely on the art of resisting the wind, using the wind as a power to drive the cloud forward." The so-called "clouds are for the car, and the wind is for the horse" is this truth. In the thirtieth chapter of "Journey to the West", Zhu Bajie's flying appearance is described in detail, "The nerd packed up the nail palladium, bundled the straight jacket, jumped up, stepped on the clouds, and went east." This time, it was also Tang Seng's life, the nerd was in a tailwind, propped up his two ears, like a wind canopy, had already crossed the East Sea, and pressed the clouds. "It fully shows that flying is powered by the wind."
Xuan Chu said: "When Master talks about clouds, I think of Sun Wukong's clouds, his somersault clouds that have turned over 108,000 miles with one heel, but it's not a joke......"
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Sun Wukong's cloud, so it is not much different from the original wind and walking, in fact, Bajie is flying with the wind, just relying on the wind, if it is not with the wind, or there is no wind, what should he do?" Supposedly, the method of resisting the winds is certainly useful, but since the great teacher asked not to rely on one kind of motivation, everyone began to look for all kinds of new "energy sources". The earliest method that everyone thought of should be to borrow strength from animals that are good at running, such as cutting off the hooves of horses and installing them on people's bodies, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that there is a nail spirit country, where people are hairy below the knees, with horse hooves, and are good at running. The people here are probably the first experimenters, and it seems to have succeeded, but it is too crude to "graft" people and animals together through such a surgical operation, and it is better to grow wings and fly, so this method is eliminated. When he arrived in the Three Kingdoms, the voice in the mouth of the people in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" said that the people of the Nail Spirit Kingdom were like wild geese - completely barbarized. ”
