Ji Chu said embarrassedly: "Master, if you study hard, will it be too late?" I mean, I already have a demonic nature in my body? ”

If the demonic nature is not removed, it will always be a time bomb, and Xuan Chu also knows that now that he has the demonic nature in his body, at any time, it may be a time bomb, maybe it will explode at any time, if he cultivates the Tao well now, he knows that he is still coming, and he will not have time to suppress this demonic nature.

Lu Dongbin knew that Xuan Chu just wanted to prevent it as soon as possible and suppress the demonic nature, so as not to hurt others and humiliate the teacher, so he said: "Hehe, when you cultivate immortals and attain the Tao, it's not too late, as long as you have justice in your heart, what can't you do!" ”

Xuan Chu said: "Master, but there must be a method for cultivating the Tao, otherwise wouldn't the ending of the Taoist priest and the emperor eating the elixir be reflected, and the demonic emperor can't become an immortal?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Why do Taoists eat pills to become immortals and the emperor will die if they eat them." The reason why most of the emperors of the past dynasties died violently after taking the Wai Dan was not that the Dan was not spiritual, but that people were not good. However, don't worry, the road is simple, your demonic nature doesn't mean that you can't do it like the emperor......"

It turns out that the master knows what he is worried about in his heart, and now when he asks, he knows that once he has my demonic nature, it will not be useful for us to cultivate the mind, after all, I already have my consciousness, I am afraid that whatever I will do will be empty.

Xuan Chu said: "That's right, isn't it quite like an emperor who is bent on seeking the elixir of immortality, and in the end he just came out to fetch water for nothing, and in the end he didn't get anything, but died earlier than ordinary people!" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Hahaha, how is it possible, the avenue is natural, raising the masses to reciprocate a little bit of thought, there is a basis to follow, how can there be no return for paying, even if there is not necessarily a return for paying, but if you are bent on cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao, how can it not have any effect......"

Chu Chu said, "Oh! "I was depressed in my heart, and I was depressed.

Lu Dongbin saw that Hui Chu's feelings were not high, so he said: "The spit was also injured, and I didn't think it was you, in fact, I was originally an immortal, and there were immortals, and these demons tested you, in fact, it just proved that you were many years earlier than ordinary people to reach the realm of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao." ”

Chu said, "How do you say this? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Because I told you about me, don't you forget that even ordinary people come here to practice and get it, I don't necessarily know what I will do to him, you think that ordinary people will get the test of demons, most of them are ordinary people, and they ended their lives in a haze, only this unusual person will get the trial of demons!" ”

Chu Chu exclaimed: "Really? ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Of course it's true, how can the teacher ever lie to you!" Hahaha......"

Chu Chu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Ah! That's great, in this way, I understand, in fact, I'm not a demon myself, but I'm actually just an immortal, because of this, after eating the heavenly rules, the next ordination, so the trial of grinding comes relatively early, right? ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hahaha, that's right, I finally figured it out?" ”

Chu Chu smiled: "Thank you Master for your advice, I will know how to do it in the future!" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "It's good to know, this is my clever ghost apprentice!" ”

Xuan Chu smiled and said: "By the way, Master, the elixirs of other immortals are all taken out of the gourd, why did you take out the elixir from your arms?" This is too low-grade, then the gourd in Journey to the West can still fit people into it, and there is no other cave, why don't you have such a magical gourd? ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hahaha, gourd, it is a very auspicious baby." The homonym of the gourd is "Fulu", which represents "blessed and lu"; The gourd has many sons, hanging at home means "many sons and many blessings"; In Feng Shui, the gourd has the effect of promoting "harmony between husband and wife" and "family happiness", and Feng Shui masters believe that the gourd can dissolve evil qi such as "two blacks and five yellows". ”

In ancient times, gourds were used by almost every family. Because the gourd can be made into a scoop, the gourd is divided into two, half of which is placed in a water tank to scoop water, and the other half is placed in a rice jar to scoop rice. There are also gourds that are processed to hold sake. Of course, there is a special "group of people" who also often use gourds, and they use them very mysteriously. This group is the Taoist priests or doctors, and they use the gourd neither to make a scoop of water, nor to make a container for wine, but to use the gourd to hold medicine and immortal medicine.

Xuan Chu said: "I see, I'm afraid that the gourd that can hold people is not there now, right?" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hehe, yes, yes, you have to meet the opportunity......"

Xuan Chu said, "Okay, but Master, what kind of materials are the immortal medicines made of?" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Medicine is a very magical thing. For the human body, its role can be roughly summarized into three types, namely healing, nourishment, and health preservation. To cure a disease is to cure a disease; Tonic is to take medicine to fill the lack of nutrients in the body or enhance the body's mechanism and vitality; Health preservation is different from nourishment, nourishment is to make up for deficiency or enhancement, and health preservation is a kind of "health care" of the life body. Through reasonable medication, we can achieve the effect of good health and longevity. ”

And we know too many types of medicine: "What flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, grows on the ground, hides in the ground, is on the mountain and under the mountain, can be eaten and cannot be eaten, animals, plants, minerals, etc., can be used as medicinal materials for human beings or other living beings." These medicinal materials meet people's needs for "healing, nourishing, and maintaining health", and make a significant contribution to human life. These drugs are enough for the general public.

There is such a kind of person in the world, they pursue "longevity and long-term vision, and become immortals", they believe that "my life is up to me, not to heaven", and they believe that their fate is in their own hands. They have been exploring the relationship between "life and body and mind, with nature, and heaven and earth and the universe" for thousands of years, and they have refined different types of "immortal medicines" with the same effect in different ways, and they have been practicing and enlightened people for thousands of years to record or orally pass on this "immortal medicine" to thousands of years, and they believe that this "immortal medicine" can enable them to attain the Tao and achieve themselves, and they have really done it.

Chu said: "Is it really possible to achieve immortality? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The jade furnace smelts the elixir of life, the righteous path cultivates longevity, there are many cultivation methods in Taoism, and the "alchemy medicine" can be said to be prevalent in various Taoist sects, and it has not ......been broken since ancient times."

Hui Chu said: "Yes, even in modern times, there are foreign scholars who are engaged in the practical activities of Nei and Nei Dan. But when the jade furnace is burned, it won't be broken! Hehehe......"
