Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yin and Yang Life-Sustaining Lamp
I don't know where the king came and went, half an hour later, he brought in two basins of water one after another, both in accordance with the requirements of the Pingyang Daoist, and the Pingyang Taoist immediately said to me: "Ergou, you put these two basins of water on both sides of your master, and put his two hands in the basin respectively, and find fourteen more candles, each limited to seven, around the basin to light up, I want to make a yin and yang life-sustaining lamp, first stabilize Brother Yang Dao's lifeline, and then find a way to help Brother Yang Dao recover his vitality!" ”
"Yin and Yang Life-Sustaining Lamp?" I was amazed.
"Yes, your master's body is now full of yin and evil qi, but his vitality and physical strength have long been exhausted, and what is more serious is that he has no Dao Dharma to protect himself and cannot save himself, so he can only rely on external forces to help him." Pingyang Taoist nodded slightly, and then said: "There are three dantian in the human body, the upper dantian is at the center of the eyebrows, the middle dantian is in the position of the middle acupoint of the chest, and the lower dantian is three inches below the navel, Lower Dantian, Dan Dao has a hundred days to build the foundation, the first cultivation is the upper dantian for 100 days, and then to the lower dantian, your master's inner Dan Gong seems to have been practiced for many years, as for how far, I am not convenient to say. ”
"Then ......" I didn't know how to ask for a while, after all, I didn't know anything about this Dan Dao method.
"Actually, I said so much, in fact, I just want to say one thing, your master's dantian internal qi has been broken, and the dantian qi can't be condensed, so even if he knows how many spells he can't perform, he has to borrow the law from the sky, but by doing so, the consequences are very serious, every time he relies on external forces, it will cause great damage to himself, in short, it is to damage his own yang life, and over time, he will inevitably be destroyed on this borrowed law." The people of Pingyang Dao told the master's situation in detail.
"Then if you don't practice the Inner Dan Gong of the Dan Dao and only practice the Outer Dan Technique, won't this work?" I asked, puzzled.
"Of course you can, many Taoist sects in the south, most of them specialize in the method of the Waidan Fu, and there are three major Fuzong sects that are famous for a while, these three major Fuzong sects, among them are your Maoshan Sect, and the other two major sects are the Pavilion Soap Sect and the Dragon and Tiger Sect Tianshi Dao, and the real major in the Neidan Gongfa is the many sects in the north, led by the Quanzhen faction, the Quanzhen sect is mainly in Dan Dao, and the Wai Dan technique is just an auxiliary, which is just different from many sects in the south." The people of Pingyang Dao told many secrets of the Northern and Southern Dao Sects one by one in one breath, paused, and continued: "But no matter what they major in or another kind of exercise, they all have a distinction between primary and secondary, but your master is practicing both the Inner Dan Technique and the Outer Dan Technique, majoring in the two major Dan Gong, which is something that few cultivators can do, so your master's name is very loud in the north and south of the river, and this is exactly the reason." ”
"But since Master's Inner Dan has been destroyed, isn't the Outer Dan Technique also there?" I still don't understand.
"It's true, otherwise what can your master do even if he borrows the Fa? But the bad thing is that your master's inner Dan Gong has been abolished, and his inner Dan Gong and outer Dan techniques have long been integrated, whether it has reached the realm of heaven and earth with one heart, I don't know, but your master's Taoism, not I can predict, since the two are integrated with each other, then the inner Dan is destroyed, and the outer Dan technique will naturally be greatly affected, the so-called foundation of cultivation is your master's inner Dan, without a foundation, no matter how many spells, it is like duckweed, there is no fulcrum at all, so can you understand? ”
"I ...... I seem to understand a little bit. I nodded in understanding.
"Neidan was destroyed, the whole person is like a wasted person, not only hurting the five internal organs, but also not even being able to show his life's cultivation, Brother Yang Dao really won't cherish it......" Pingyang Daoren sighed deeply.
At this moment, Wang Lai and his wife have lit fourteen candles and handed them to me, I took out seven candles and placed them around another basin, and then placed the remaining seven candles around the basin now, seeing this, Pingyang Taoist said: "Your master's inner Dan was destroyed, the breath in the dantian is chaotic and cannot be condensed, and the external yin and evil qi is unscrupulous in his body. Slowly recover his vitality, as for the problem of your master's cultivation, it is difficult for me to help him anymore, all I can do is to continue his life. ”
As he spoke, the Taoist of Pingyang asked us to move the master down a few points, and then he sat cross-legged in front of the master, pinched the three mountain tips with one hand, and pointed the sword with the other hand to the center of the master's eyebrows, and silently recited the mantra in his mouth: "Knock on the ancestor of the three Qing ......, the yin and yang division is the ."
Because his voice was too small and he read it so fast, I couldn't hear what he was reading at all, but soon, the Pingyang Daoist only moved his lips and did not make a sound, but the flames of the seven candles around the two basins were suddenly high and suddenly low, which was very weird!
Half an hour later, Pingyang Daoren's lips were still squirming, and his face was flushed, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, although I didn't understand what he was doing, but it seemed that it was very physically exhausting.
Wang Lai and his wife left the room in time, only I stood aside to protect the Dharma, and I knew that the people of Pingyang Dao must not come forward to disturb during the spell casting, so I suppressed the urge to wipe his sweat, and after a while, I was shocked to find that the water in the basin gradually turned into a light black color, and after a while, the color became a little thicker, and the candles lit around it, its flames were gradually shrinking.
This...... What's going on? The flames are getting smaller and smaller, what happens if the flames go out?
I stepped forward in a little panic, but I walked around and set off a slight breeze, blowing a few of the flames almost extinguished, so frightened that I quickly did not move, slowly, slowly stretched out my hands, to protect the flames, dangerous, those flames were not extinguished, I exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, unlucky breath, and actually blew out a few flames in my hand immediately.
"!" I couldn't help but scold, a few beads of sweat slid down my forehead, it's okay if I don't guard, I just put out a few candles, how is this good? I looked up at Pingyang Daoist in embarrassment.
And Pingyang Daoist is closing his eyes tightly, at this moment his face has been suffocated like pig's liver, I took a few steps back with a disgraced face, looking at the few extinguished candles very unpleasantly, is it a reminder of Pingyang Daoist? But if you wake him up rashly, won't it stop him from casting spells? What can I do? By the way, I'll just find matches and light them again.
But it's not right to think about it, I'm making a fuss, but it's a ** annoyance for me, I'm as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, time passes little by little, and I'm still staring at those candles blankly.
"Up!" At this moment, Pingyang Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, and his left hand Sanshan Jue immediately lifted it to his chest, only to see that the few extinguished candles, and other candles, all burst into flames and lit up! I was pleasantly surprised to see the flame rekindled, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this time I was so suffocated that I didn't dare to take a breath.
Pingyang Taoist immediately withdrew his sword finger, changed the three mountain tips, flipped his hands, picked up the back of the master's head, and pinched the master's middle with his thumb.
On the other hand, the clear water in the two basins had turned into jet black, and at this moment, the Pingyang Daoist let go of his hand, and the whole person took a breath and lay down.
"Daoist Pingyang!" I ran to me with an arrow step and lifted the Pingyang Taoist up, and the Pingyang Taoist slowly opened his eyes and waved his hand to signal that he was okay.
Helping Pingyang Daoren out of bed, at this moment, the master's closed eyes slowly opened, and at the same time, the fourteen candles were extinguished at the same time.
"Brother Yang Dao, I'm ...... I've finally got you back......" Pingyang Dao smiled bitterly with a breathless breath.
Although the master woke up, his breath was still not smooth, but he was still able to speak...... "Thank you Brother Pingyang for your help, Ergou, thank you to Daoist Pingyang on behalf of the teacher, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up in two months......"
"Hmm!" I nodded excitedly, turned around and solemnly thanked the Pingyang Daoist, but as soon as I let go of my hand, the whole person of the Pingyang Daoist was paralyzed, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help, before I could say it, the Pingyang Daoist interrupted me, and said with a smile: "As long as you don't let the king beat me again, I will thank God......"
"Hey, hey! Before, the two dogs were ignorant, and I asked the Taoist of Pingyang not to take it to heart. I laughed.
"It's okay, after all, this is also my own burden, and I deserve this punishment, Ergou, you pour out the water, and then let the king boil some tonic soup for your master to drink, and let him rest for a few more days, it should be fine, I ...... now I need to find a quiet place to breathe now......" Pingyang Daoist said in a sweat and panting.
I hurriedly sent the Pingyang Taoist to another room, Wang Lai's big mansion, there are a lot of empty rooms, so it is very easy to settle up, after the Pingyang Taoist waited, I gently closed the door, at this moment, I was relieved, presumably the master's catastrophe this time, it can be regarded as a complete past.
