Chapter 8: The Four Essentials of Practice

After Xiao Nizi was happy, she suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Beiluo, why didn't you notify me when you went down the mountain?" And how did you get to my school? ”

The corners of Chen Beiluo's mouth twitched when he heard this, and said, "Didn't I tell you on WeChat?"

Su Mengwei had a question mark on her face: "Is there one?" I don't have any impressions at all. ”

Chen Beiluo: ......

This memory is worthy of Su Yanming's baby daughter, the father and daughter are exactly the same.

Looking at the stupid and cute appearance of the girl in front of him, Chen Beiluo teased: "You, what a little fool." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being a fool, I have Beiluo brother you, hehe."

The girl's nose wrinkled slightly, and she smiled sweetly.

Chen Beiluo's heart trembled slightly, and his gaze at the girl became softer and softer, and said, "This time I went to Qingxuguan, did you encounter anything interesting?" ”

At the mention of this, the girl's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in them, and the little pink beak moved and moved, chirping like a lark.

Qingxuguan, the most famous and oldest Taoist temple in Qingyang City, was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years.

Although it has been war-torn for a long time, and the inheritance has almost been broken several times, it still persists, and the incense is becoming more and more prosperous, with countless believers, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, all of whom are admired.

Legend has it that the first master of Qingxu Guan was a Taoist priest with high magic power, calling for wind and rain, subduing demons and eliminating demons, omnipotent, the Son of Heaven personally visited the door, and seven or eight times out of ten did not even see his face. In the end, he attained immortality and soared in the day, but he was in too much of a hurry, and the cultivation method he left behind was only a superficial one, so that the cultivation of the successive masters of the world became lower and lower, and there was no longer the mana to summon gods and impeach ghosts, so he gradually fell lonely.

It was not until modern times that Xuan Cheng Zhenren was in charge of the Taoist temple, and the situation was reversed, and it rose at an incredible speed, and in just a few years, it became famous, spread all over the country, and reproduced the glory of the patriarch when he was alive.

Therefore, many people say that Xuancheng Zhenren is a master of the Tao with great mana.

Su Mengwei fell in love with Taoist culture when she was a child because of her family and Chen Beiluo, and naturally tried every possible way to meet Xuancheng Zhenren, but unfortunately she never got her wish.

However, this made her more curious about the magical Xuancheng real person.

You know, her father is Su Yanming.

When Su Mengwei visited for the first time, she went as an ordinary believer, saying that she wanted to see Xuancheng Zhenren, but the boy of the Taoist Temple told her that the real person had gone on a long trip.

Of course, the girl didn't believe it, thinking that Xuan Cheng Zhenren was pretending to be mysterious, reserved, and a means to raise his own value, and many masters in ancient and modern China and abroad liked to do so.

But many people just eat this set.

However, she did find one thing, that is, the Taoist priest who is pure and void is very high in concentration or spiritual cultivation.

Ordinary people will be shocked by her amazing beauty when they see her for the first time, three souls and seven spirits have lost two souls and six souls, but the Taoist priests who are pure and void are different, although they are also amazed by their own appearance, they are not obsessed, their eyes are clear, and their eyes only have an appreciation for beautiful things.

This made her want to meet Xuan Cheng even more.

Later, Su Mengwei went to visit several times, but she was stunned and failed to do so.

No, she took advantage of the weekend to go to Qingxuguan yesterday, and stayed there for a night, and she just came back now.

It's a pity that I still haven't seen Xuancheng's real person.

However, the scenery of Qingxuguan is notoriously beautiful, poetic and picturesque, and the food is a must in the world, and it is worth the trip.

Chen Beiluo is also a little interested in Xuancheng Zhenren, in his heart, Xuancheng Zhenren should be the same as him, he is a Qi Refiner, and his Taoism is obviously not low.

I heard that Xuan Cheng Zhenren was already in his thirties when he inherited the position of the Lord, and now I am afraid that he is not less than 100 years old, but everyone who has seen Xuan Cheng Zhenren said that his black hair is like ink, his face is ruddy like a child, and the whole person looks more energetic than young people, and he does not look old at all.

Praise said: Truly a man of God!

From this, it can be seen that Xuan Cheng Zhenren is either quite successful in the cultivation of Neidan, or he is very good at cultivating the body, otherwise how could he be so miraculous.

The ancient qi refiner Peng Zu Hou Keng is famous for his long life, and he is still the world's longest-lived person throughout the ages.

Well, on the bright side.

Even if Xuancheng Zhenren is not as good as Peng Zu, he must have his uniqueness.

Chen Beiluo touched his chin, thinking about when he would go to Qingxuguan to take a trip, meet this mysterious and sincere real person, communicate with each other, and talk about the Tao.

At this point, he believes that Xuancheng Zhenren is also as willing as him.

Cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao has been the biggest secret in the world since ancient times, the most secluded and deepest, and the most divine and wonderful.

The avenue is invisible, and the fertility world is invisible.

The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon.

The avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time.

The Tao can only be self-practiced and self-proven, and self-evident and self-evident.

However, the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade.

And if you want to cultivate the Tao, there are four things that are indispensable.

The land of the Fortune Couple.

First Words.

The Dharma refers to the cultivation of the Dharma, the key to entering the path and cultivation, and the ship to cross the sea of suffering.

One saves the Dan Sutra, and the other saves the formula.

Those who save the Dan Sutra can get it because of the book; Those who save formulas are not taught by teachers. There are many pretenses in the scriptures to stand up for words, and they say things because of metaphors, and they always refuse to point out directly. And whenever it is critical, that is, you don't say anything, like a dragon painting, and you don't pay attention to it.

Therefore, if you want to get the eye to fly, you need the guidance of a famous teacher to get its deification and wonderful use.

Therefore, he hugged Pu Zi and said: "Although there is a text, it is a secret, and it must be a formula, and the text can be explained, and then it can be the ear." ”

Xuan Zhenzi said: "In the Dan Sutra, there are many preaching but not preaching, and preaching the law but not passing on the technique. Occasionally, there is a secret to the secret. Occasionally, if the technique is passed on, it will be secret. Without a teacher's guidance, it is really difficult to be self-satisfied. ”

Bai Ziqing said: "Only one word runs through the ten thousand volumes of Danjing." He also said: A word and a half sentence are wonderful, why use thousands of Dan Sutras. ”

If you want to get this simple thing, you can only ask for the mantra from the teacher. The Dan Sutra is mysterious, with many metaphors and metaphors, who can observe it, which can not only solve it, but also ensure that it can be solved by its true machine. Therefore, there is an ancient "Rao Jun is more intelligent than Yan Min, and he does not meet the Master Mo Qiang to guess." "The Ring also. If you practice blindly, it will be difficult to attain true interpretation; Even if he can understand and understand, he is just a disciple who can talk about Zen.

Therefore, among the four, the law is the most important.

Without this, even if you are a natural saint, you will not be able to start.

The second word of wealth.

Wealth is the breadth of the path, a tool rather than an end, unlike what is valued by the world.

Yuan Duzi said: "The act of wealth is said, and its meaning is two. Most of the holy wealth comes from the wealth of the law, and it is the ladder raft of enlightenment. If the road is not accomplished, it will be rich; After the Tao is completed, wealth is useless. The people of the world do not reach the mystery of wealth and law, and the people of the mountains and forests will be based on the virtuous and powerful family map, and the law and wealth will be used to make each other. On the day of the completion of the Tao, all the utensils that were intended to be placed in the Dan room were not damaged, and everything was left behind and entrusted to them. ”

For example, Ziyang Zhenren's Ma is thick, and Wang Chongxi's right-hand man Han Fugong is also an example of it.

Shi Xinglin instructed Xue Zixianyun: "This matter is not a giant outdoor protection, and it is easy to slander, but you can go to Tongdu Dayi, and rely on the powerful person to do it." Later, with the help of Zhang Weiwei, Dancheng was born. Therefore, Shangyangzi Shiyun: If you have the law, you will become an immortal if you have no money, and you will become an immortal. Danyang Zu is a rich man in Dongzhou, and he has abandoned his family fortune. ”

There is no law, no money, weak and difficult to do, in the past, Puzi got this way for more than 20 years, the family has no stone savings, and there is only a long sigh at the beginning!

Because of the needs of the Ding furnace and the sword, it cannot be done without money.

The second couple.

Couples, partners, bosom friends, and external protectors.

"The Book of Rites": If you learn alone and have no friends, you will be lonely and unheard.

However, the monastic couple cannot be summed up by the word "friend".

Shangyangzi said: "Seeking wealth and seeking a husband to refine the gold pill, wealth is not difficult, but it is difficult for a couple." If you have a husband and a lot of wealth, why do you have to go to the mountains to be an immortal. "Because wealth is a thing after all, it is easy to obtain. Couples can't do anything if they are not bosom friends, and they can't protect each other, so it's hard to hear.

Zhong Zu said: "It is rare to cultivate a true couple in the dust. ”

Therefore, if you want to cultivate the truth, you must first find a soulmate, make friends, and think that you are a comrade.

Xue Daoguang said: "I have harvested the elixir today, and I am looking for a soulmate at sea every year." ”

Chen Niwan said: "If there is no comrade sense, I am afraid that the fire in the furnace will be wrong." ”

Yin and Yang double cultivation must be coupled, and pure single cultivation must also be coupled. It is necessary to prevent danger and eliminate danger, and it is necessary to learn and ponder. The small Zhou Tian is accustomed to a couple, and the big Zhou Tian is also a couple. Retreat Dharma protectors need couples, and they also need couples to work hard in ordinary times.

Xue Zhenren said: "For a few years, I have been looking for immortals in the lakes and seas, and I will not rest if I don't want to be a fairy." ”

Therefore, if there is no law and wealth and no couple, there is a difference after all.

Chen Beiluo was able to achieve such an achievement at this age, although he was amazingly talented and intelligent, and he was inseparable from the guidance of the old Taoist.

However, what the old Taoist priest can do is limited after all.

Otherwise, why don't you tell him to go down the mountain, just let him stay on the mountain all the time.

Chen Beiluo is looking forward to meeting with Xuan Cheng Zhenren, even if he can't break the bottleneck in one fell swoop, he will definitely get a lot of inspiration from it and expand his spiritual thinking.

This will be of no harm to his future cultivation path.

Finally, in words.

If the law and wealth are all three, it is necessary to choose the blessed land of Lingshan to cultivate, so that it can be easily achieved.

Chen Niwan Weng said: "Mo is close to Qiu's grave and pollutes the field, and he also thinks that people sleep in the war land. Zhong Lai's aura is blessed, that is, to seek immortals. He also said: "The quiet places in the mountains and forests are the best, either in the city or in the countryside." When the soil is thick, Dan is thick, and it is vain to see that it will be affected. ”

Therefore, Lao Tzu has the teaching of "living in a good place", and there is a training of "choosing a good place" in Lu Zu Yellow Crane Fu, and the ancient monks are more happy with the blessed land of Lingshan Mountain, and the scenery is beautiful, and the scenery is quiet, the scenery is pleasant, and the dust is not entered, which helps to calm down.

Originally, Dan Dao cultivation was all about idleness, and the noisy city was not quiet and not the mountain. It is difficult to be idle and quiet everywhere, and it is difficult for the heart to be idle. Therefore, the choice of land is not fixed in the mountains and townships, and it is always taken to be the bell of the aura, and it is suitable for the use of cultivation. Therefore, Wu Zhen said: "You must know that the great seclusion lives in the city, why bother to keep the silence in the mountains." ”

Although in the city and in the court, there are many things in the world, and it is easy to be disturbed; However, many Taoist patriarchs and sages also believed: "In the city and in the court, it is the best way to use the great opportunity to make a big move." ”

If you can have no heart for the situation, you will be in the downtown area.

When you start cultivating the Inner Dan, the "earth" is important, but after you reach a certain realm, it is different, there are dojos everywhere, you can achieve it anytime and anywhere, you don't need to be bound by these constraints, and in the end, you will build a time and space in your body that is the same as the universe.

With Chen Beiluo's cultivation, he has already gotten rid of the demand for "land".

This is also one of the reasons why the old Taoist priest let him go down the mountain.
