Chapter 316: Su Ruanmei explained the Tao Te Ching in public
Li Daochang was slightly curious when he heard Su Ruanmei's inquiry, thinking that Su Ruanmei was already the reincarnation of a god, how could she still ask these superficial truths.
After being silent for a moment, Daoist Li explained to Su Ruanmei the stages of Dan Dao Dacheng.
"This Dan Dao cultivation is developed by Wei Boyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty by sorting out and summarizing the secrets of the predecessors' practice, and then by holding Puzi Ge Hong, he completely transferred the Taoist Outer Dan cultivation to the Inner Dan practice, and the foundation of cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao can still be easy to be a teacher, so since then the immortals who have ascended to the Tao abound, such as Lu Dongbin Zhong Liquan and others, the nearest is the Xiyi ancestor of our dynasty, and Shao Yong, the master of Yi who passed away not long ago a few years ago, also mentioned in his view of Yi Yin, the ears and eyes are smart and the man's body, Hongjun is not poor, As long as he is a man and can cultivate the Tao, then he is already amazing. ”
Li Daochang stroked his beard as he spoke, and Su Ruanmei saw that this old Taoist priest was talking about the Tao, and she didn't know whether this immortal cultivation was really a matter or a mirror.
"Li Zhenren, can you be more detailed? For example, how to do it, what is the principle, and what is the result? ”
Seeing that Su Ruanmei seemed to be a little suspicious of these things, Li Daochang suddenly restrained his smile again.
"Su Zhenniang, are you? Can't believe in the poor way? ”
Su Ruanmei saw that Daochang Li was a little angry, so she pushed her hand again and apologized.
"No, no, no, I completely believe in everything you said, it's just that Su Ruanmei was born with magical powers, and she hasn't actually practiced, so I want to ask Daoist Li for advice."
As soon as Su Ruanmei said this, Daochang Li nodded slightly.
In order to win the trust of Li Daochang, Su Ruanmei even blurted out such unrealistic words, thinking that this crossing completely broke her inherent concepts and subverted all the values in her life.
"In fact, the principle of cultivation is very simple, everything is fundamentally in a qi word, if you get qi, you will be born, and if you lose qi, you will die, as long as it is a living thing, you can't escape the operation and nourishment of qi, and what does qi come from, qi is the source and Tao, Zhuangzi talks about the void room and white, we look at the hexagram, why is the middle empty, it is because if there is no emptiness, then there can be no reality, we look at the hexagram, although it seems to be virtual, but its essence is real, so there must be void and reality in the human body, just like the physical body is real, Then the soul is virtual, and there is virtuality in the real place, so the soul can live in the body, and the virtual place has the real, so the soul can control our body, and Confucius of Confucianism also said that the metaphysical is the Tao, and the metaphysical is the instrument. Therefore, since a person has both emptiness and reality, then the path of practice is completely reasonable, we look at the I Ching's unfinished hexagrams, separated from the top, and the hurdles below, which is called water and fire, and when they are turned around, they become both beneficial hexagrams, so the basis of practice is also here. ”
Su Ruanmei was completely at a loss when she heard Li Daochang's words, thinking that even if it was like a mountain across the line, at least she spoke Chinese, and she couldn't get any useful information at all after listening to such a lot of words.
"Daochang Li, please forgive the soft girl for her stupid qualifications, can you still speak more clearly?"
Seeing Su Ruanmei's sincere face, Daochang Li stroked his beard and said.
"The so-called cultivation of immortals is actually to stimulate one's own potential, and the dual cultivation of life is to bring the body and soul to an extreme."
After Li Daochang finished speaking, Su Ruanmei nodded, thinking to herself that this old man had finally said a human word, and she didn't have to think about it for so long.
"Then Daoist Li, how to implement the specific method of cultivating immortals and cultivating the Dao."
Su Ruanmei asked about this, and Daochang Li took out a booklet and handed it to Su Ruanmei.
"This is the comprehension and experience of the poor Dao for decades, and I will give it to Su Zhen Niangzi today, you can take it and study it slowly, but it's just ......"
Li Daochang paused when he said this, Su Ruanmei took the booklet, and saw that there were also five elements of gossip and acupuncture points of the human body painted in it.
"It's just that this woman's cultivation method is probably different from that of a man, Su Zhen Niang, if you want to actually cultivate, you have to be more cautious."
After Daochang Li finished speaking, Su Ruanmei nodded slightly.
Su Ruanmei put away the booklet, and at this time it was also dawn, so Li Daochang invited Su Ruanmei to the dining hall for dinner, and the two maidservants also went together.
Su Ruanmei met Huang Yuanji during the meal, Huang Yuanji sat opposite her with two steamed buns, and asked her about the conversation with Li Daochang, and Su Ruanmei told the truth.
"This old man has really handed over all his secrets to you."
Huang Yuanji put down the steamed bun and asked curiously, while Su Ruanmei took out the booklet given to her by Li Daochang, and Huang Yuanji snatched it away.
Huang Yuanji looked through it carefully, and then returned the booklet to Su Ruanmei respectfully, and Su Ruanmei was a little displeased.
"You kid can say it if you want to see it, and you don't have to be so anxious."
As she spoke, Su Ruanmei took the booklet back into her clothes.
"Say, what do you see?"
Su Ruanmei asked very seriously, but Huang Yuanji shook his head like a rattle.
Seeing Huang Yuanji burying his head in the steamed buns, Su Ruanmei picked up the gruel suspiciously and tasted two bites.
After Su Ruanmei finished eating, the Taoist priests began to do morning classes, and Li Daochang invited Su Ruanmei to the front of the Sanqing Hall to explain the Tao Te Ching for everyone.
Su Ruanmei slowly walked to the futon in the center of the hall, looking at the hundreds of Taoists in front of her, including the old, the young, the fat, and the thin, everyone looked at Su Ruanmei with a strange look, perhaps because Su Ruanmei is a woman, so these Taoists feel that she has long hair and short knowledge, but at the same time she is the host of the Xuanzhen Temple personally appointed by the little emperor, so these people also have to give her a little thin noodles.
Su Ruanmei coughed twice, and then opened the Tao Te Ching and read it word by word.
"The Tao is good, the Tao is very good, the name is famous, the name is not ......"
Thinking of this, Su Ruanmei entered a gust of autumn wind from outside the hall, and the autumn wind blew the prayer building hanging above Su Ruanmei's head to the ground, Su Ruanmei couldn't help but shudder again, Su Ruanmei's figure actually appeared in her mind at the moment, and she didn't know why she had this idea.
"The first chapter of the Tao Te Ching says that the true Tao is unspeakable, like if you love a woman, but you can't say why you love her, and you laugh when she laughs, and you cry when she cries."
When Su Ruanmei said this, the Taoist priests in front of her began to whisper, and some of them were still laughing in a low voice. 166 Reading Network
