Chapter 459: Jade Furnace Ding
Xuan Chu thought to himself that the master was still joking with himself, what kind of jade furnace alchemy, wouldn't the stones be broken when they were burned, not to mention the delicate jade!
Xuan Chu said: "Master, you should say, no, there are really people in this world who are too simple to entertain, it sounds like a cow, this kind of stove is probably only available to gods, where can ordinary people get this kind of treasure?" β
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hahaha, the beauty of stone." Jade has five virtues, moisturizing with warmth, and benevolence. Reason comes from the outside, you can know the middle, and the prescription of righteousness is also. Its voice is Shu Yang, specializing in hearing from afar, and the wisdom is also. Indomitable and bending, brave side. Sharp and incorruptible, clean and clean. The one who is not hot in the fire is also the true jade. "Yi Ding Hexagram" Ding Yu. "Shu" rightly says: The jade is strong and moist. and "Hexagrams" is dry for jade and gold. "Shu" is jade for gold, and it is clear from its steel. "Poetry Daya" is golden and jade. "Etiquette and Employment" gentleman is more than jade. Warm and moist, benevolent. Meticulous and knowing. Cheap but not severe, righteous. Hang like a team, courtesy. The sound of knocking is clearer and longer, and its final pleasure is also happy. One bad apple wonβt spoil the whole bunch. β
Xuan Chu said: "Oh my God, what I said like this can really be used more and more simply, wouldn't it be more precious, because this kind of thing was so unbelievable in ancient times, and it was actually used as a jade furnace for alchemy, which is probably the treatment only the emperor has, it must be the same demeanor as the national teacher, so that there can be a jade furnace given by the emperor, right?" In this society, is there any jade furnace left behind? β
Lu Dong pinched his fingers and smiled: "Yes, Nanjing Museum, Qing, the jade furnace belongs to jasper." The furnace imitates the shape of a round ring, the cover is covered with a bowl, the top is carved with a dragon, the ears are double-eared, the bottom of the circle, the ears are decorated with phoenix sleeves and rings of live ears, the bottom of the abdomen is three sides out of the shop, the head of the shop hangs down the whiskers, bypasses the bottom of the circle, and forms three whisker feet. The lid and furnace are embossed with animal face patterns. β
Chu Chu said, "Ah! It's a pity that it's all museums, and if there is one, it will be worth a lot of money! I don't know which sect of Taoist priests used it? β
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "It should be used by the emperor's concubines to light incense, and the public generally has such an understanding, the Zhengyi faction refines the outer Dan, and the Quanzhen faction refines the inner Dan, this understanding is incomplete." β
Xuan Chu said: "Oh, that's still a pity, wouldn't it be more valuable if the Taoist priest alchemy, what can the firepower of incense do!" I don't know which faction of alchemy? β
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Zhengyi also cultivates the Inner Dan, Quanzhen also refines the Outer Dan, and some of them practice the same inside and outside, complementing each other to achieve the realm of "getting medicine" and transcendence. The "high-ranking officials" of the three provinces in the "three provinces and six departments" of Taoism are all true immortals who have achieved great medicine through alchemy. In the "Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Qing Dafan, Ziwei Xuandu, Thunder and Jade Sutra", it is recorded that the three provinces are: "Taishang Yujing, Taiji, Left Palace, Gexian Weng in Tianji Province; Kyushu Governor Immortal Taishi Gaoming Ambassador Xu Zhenjun in Tianshu Province; For three days, he supported the teaching of the Great Dharma Master Zhang Tianshi in Taixuandu Province. The three provinces here are the three important departments that manage the thunder, and the "senior officials" of the three provinces are the first three of the four heavenly masters of Taoism that we are familiar with: "The province of thunder, Zhang Tianshi subdues demons and protects the Dao Tianzun; Thunder Xuan Province, Ge Tianshi is immeasurably heavenly; Thunder Tai Province, Xu Tianshi Jingming Puhua Tianzun. The achievements of the three patriarchs can be said to be "full of merit, and the avenue is a league". β
Xuan Chu said: "What are the celebrities of alchemy?" β
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Zhang Tianshi obtained the Yellow Emperor's Nine Ding Dan Book in Zhongyue, and then lived in seclusion in Heming Mountain to prepare for the cultivation of the Great Dan. The Heavenly Master prepared the medicine in the mountains to choose a location, and cultivated the Great Dan according to the method mentioned in the scriptures, and after three years of cultivation, the Great Dan was achieved, but he did not take the Divine Pill in time. Wang Chang, a disciple of the Heavenly Master, asked, "The ancestor has successfully refined the golden pill, why doesn't he take the golden pill and prove that the saint has come true?" The Heavenly Master replied: The Divine Pill has been refined, and if I eat it now, I will definitely ascend to Heaven during the day and achieve the body of a real person. But I don't have great virtue now, I want to first eliminate harm and benefit the country, benefit the people, as the so-called first make 3,000 merits and 800 lines, and then take the golden pill, so that I can rise lightly, and the three realms will always be in the three realms, and then I will have no guilt in my heart. The great wish of the Heavenly Master was really sent by the Taishang Laojun to descend to the Dharma, teach the true scriptures and true texts, practice for a thousand days, and suddenly be able to visualize the five internal organs and gather all the gods outside. So Taishang Laojun sent Qinghe Jade Nu to teach the Heavenly Master Tu Na Bu Gang to fight and drive away evil spirits, and then he took the golden pill to achieve the realm of the Great Returning Dan, subdued the Great Demon of the Six Heavens, and achieved the golden immortal that was not destructible. β
Xuan Chu said: "Ge Hong heard that he is the patriarch of the Taoist pill world, is he alchemy?" β
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The Inner Chapter of Hug Puzi written by Master Ge Hong is an immortal book for cultivating Jindan. And Ge Hong's ability to achieve a Golden Immortal is closely related to his ancestor Ge Xuantian Master. Taoist Ge Tianshi has two heavenly masters, Da Ge and Xiao Ge, Da Ge is Ge Xuan Tianshi, and Xiao Ge is Ge Hong Tianshi. Ge Hong's ancestor Ge Xuantian once studied Taoism with Zuo Ci Zhenren, and received the "Taiqing" and "Jiuding" and other divine pill scriptures, and later passed on to his disciple Zheng Yin, Zheng Yin passed on Ge Hong, Ge Hong got the true transmission, cultivated the Great Dan and wrote a book to say that the final certificate is immeasurable Tianzun. Xu Xun Heavenly Master of the Pure Ming School is also a model of achievement by cultivating the Golden Pill, and there is a saying that a person has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven. Although there are several versions of this statement, they are all inseparable from Jindan. Xu Tianshi's achievements are full of fruits, and more than 40 members of the family pull out the house and soar. The "high-ranking officials" of the three provinces are all diligent in cultivating merits, refining the Great Dan and proving the holy come true, which shows the miraculous effect of the Golden Pill. Later generations of Daomen disciples followed the teachings of their ancestors, and there were not a few people who achieved the Tao and alchemy. β
Xuan Chu said, "Is there any scripture on the elixir?" β
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Taishang Laojun said that the Book of Hundred Diseases and Hundred Medicines" is a universal persuasion classic of Taoism, which has an important guiding role in people's behavioral standards. Humanity is achieved, and the fairy road is near. "Taishang Laojun Says Hundred Diseases and Hundred Medicines" lists a hundred diseases and a hundred medicines, many diseases and medicines actually have very similar meanings, and it can be said that no matter what aspect is humane with God, people should do "go to evil and do good". Taoist people have the Jindan cultivation method of Taoists, and ordinary people have ordinary people's "Jindan cultivation method", everyone talks about "Taishang Laojun Says Hundred Diseases and Worship Hundred Medicine Sutras" in which the medicine method for removing diseases is done well, often thinking about it, and the bad is gradually gone, and the good is gradually increasing, so you can "really the way of normality, the enlightened person is self-satisfied" and "a pearl will never leave". β
Xuan Chu said: "With this scripture, you can refine the pill!" β
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The ancestor passed on the treasure, and he got medicine to be a real person." Peifu always does good deeds, and he will always attain great strength. Ge Xuan (164-244), Han nationality, a native of Jiyangli, Duxiang Township, Jurong County, Wudanyang County (now Jurong City), ancestral home of Langya, Shandong, a famous high Taoist of the Three Kingdoms, and the patriarch of the Taoist Lingbao School. The word filial piety, the number of immortals, is respected as "Ge Tianshi". Taoism is revered as Ge Xian Weng, also known as Tai Chi Xian Weng. β
