Yuan Xiaotian and Hu Niu stayed in the Yuelai Hotel in the middle of the city for one night, and the next day they went to Xiaoyaoju to visit Mr. Zong Yuan, but unfortunately the disciple told that Mr. Zong Yuan went to Yanxi early in the morning to preach, I am afraid that the two of them will have to run in vain, and then Yuan Xiaotian asked the disciple the location of Yanxi, and the disciple simply pointed him the way, Yuan Xiaotian and Hu Niu rushed to Yanxi together.

Speaking of this Yanxi since ancient times, it has been said that literati and ink writers travel together, an excellent place to play and collect style, Yuan Xiaotian and Hu Niu do not need to do much to explore, followed a group of scholars who walked for an hour, and came to Mr. Zong Yuan's lecture place, only to see Mr. Zong Yuan sitting on a big stone, and he was surrounded by all kinds of disciples, some are dignitaries, some are literati and scholars, and some are Taoist monks, Mr. Zong Yuan saw Yuan Xiaotian from a distance and made a nod to him, Yuan Xiaotian also hugged his fists and made a return salute to Mr. Zong Yuan, and when Hu Niu found a vacant seat, the two sat down cross-legged again, Mr. Zong Yuan was talking about the theory of immortals, and his eldest disciple Tai Jiyuan was sitting near him.

"It is not difficult to become an immortal, as long as you grasp the seven near immortals and the seven far immortals, then no matter how hard you work hard, the immortal path will definitely be achieved."

After Mr. Zong Yuan finished speaking, Tai Jiyuan folded his hands and saluted Mr. Zong Yuan.

"In this case, please also ask Mr. to explain to us which seven are the seven of the near immortals and the seven of the far immortals, and what are the special meanings and taboos of each of them."

Mr. Zong Yuan looked at Tai Jiyuan and continued to speak.

"The so-called Seven Near Immortals are: concentrate on the Xuandao. Truly do nothing. This kind of person is not noble and glorious, does not see desire, and is benevolent and quiet. This is one of the shortcuts.

Hi Gao Dungu, Keyi is still OK. This kind of person knows the floating of reality and glory, knows the sound and lust, swears to cut off the thief, suffocates the desire, is in the mountains and forests, and is noble and cultivated. This is the second shortcut. Self-cultivation in the dust world, specialization. Although this kind of person is an official, he is a seeker, loyal to the superior and righteous to the subordinate; Be generous to others and thin to yourself; The outside is turbid and the inside is clear, the fraternity is widespread, the stealth is secret, and the good is born and evil and dies. This is the third shortcut. Advocating the outside of the party, taking life as a business. This kind of person is poor and happy, unscrupulous and chic, does not admire the lord, does not love Lu and regards economics as nothing. This is the fourth of the Near Immortal Path. Defend the country and win, and be quiet. This kind of person first has the ambition to serve the country, with his own talents, after winning the victory, he retreats and lives quietly, and protects the gods to the truth, which is the fifth of the near immortal road. Change the past and pay attention to the late festival. This kind of person makes up for his faults with merit, is easy to be evil, is loyal and sentimental, abides by his nature, accumulates merit to perfection, and reaches the fairyland. This is the sixth of the Near Immortal Path. Loyalty, filial piety, and self-satisfaction. This kind of person is always and everywhere, with the light and dust, one thing and one thing, loyalty, filial piety, imperceptible, and forever immortal. This is the seventh of the Near Immortal Path. ”

"If a cultivator can do these seven points, then his path to cultivating immortals will be twice as effective with half the effort. On the contrary, if a person has the following seven points, then his path to cultivating immortals will become more and more difficult, and this is also the seven rules of the far immortals: the form of the relic. Some people abandon their form and are willing to die in exchange for sexual normalcy. This is one of the ways away from immortals. Immortals must have roots. Some people think that immortals are limited and not everyone can refine them, but he forgets that the Tao is originally infinite, and immortals are also infinite truths. Survival and death are one. Some people think that the body will eventually be dissolved, and the present body cannot have a future body. I don't know how to change and I can't know it, let alone the truth of death and recreation. This is the third way away from the immortals. Pleasing the voice. Some people attach importance to fame and fortune, and they are immortal with fame, and they can enjoy it, so they can please the sound of dogs and horses. I don't know the truth of "prosperity must decline, high must be dangerous, gain must be lost, profit must be lost", this is far from the fourth of the immortal road. Late repairs are not supplemented. Some people are young and love and consume infinitely; When I am old, I hope to live forever and cultivate again, but it is difficult to make up for my disability. This is the fifth way away from immortals. Jindan Trillium. Some people think that taking Da Dan can prolong their age, and they spend money on alchemy, work diligently day and night, consume energy, and end up abandoning their roots. This is far from the sixth of the immortal path. The body and mind are not the same. Some people are in the Tao, their hearts are connected to the mortal world, they are quiet on the outside, and they are treacherous on the inside. This is the seventh of the Immortal Path. ”

When Mr. Zong Yuan said this, several elderly people shook their heads slightly, and one of the old men said to Mr. Zong Yuan.

"What Mr. said really made me wait for the initiation, but when I was old and young, I didn't meet a great achiever like Mr., so that the time was wasted, and it was muddy, and Mr. Fang Cai talked about the seven far immortals, among which there are pleasing and late cultivation is useless, so wouldn't it be hopeless for me to become immortals."

After the old man finished speaking, Mr. Zong Yuan shook his fan and smiled.

"Having said that, but this old gentleman doesn't have to worry about this, as the so-called Tao is not far away, but people are far away, I want to be a pure Yang real person Lu Dongbin, Mr. Tongxuan Zhang Guo is old enough to get the Tao in his old age, if you are dedicated to the Tao, and there is a famous teacher to guide you, then the matter of becoming an immortal is not a joke."

After listening to Mr. Zongyuan's explanation, the old man folded his hands again and nodded slightly.

After that, Mr. Zongyuan talked about some tips for cultivating immortals, and it was not until the sun went down that Mr. Zongyuan and everyone left separately.
