Chapter 77 Against Shaolin VII
PS: "Tai Chi Shaoxia" used his own neutrino size Zhou Tiangong to comprehensively open the pass for the only person who passed the Shaolin "Washing the Marrow Sutra", making the Shi Xiaoniu the only one in Shaolin who had practiced mustard rice and Bigu for many years, so that the secret of Shaolin "Washing the Marrow Sutra" was carried forward.

Chapter 77 vs. Shaolin VII
"There is no stagnation in popularity, and everything depends on life. Wear gold and transparent stone, water and fire can be combined. Parallel does not harm each other. Reason and qi are the same. "Vitality is related to our life and death, and it is constantly flowing, if you want to concentrate qi in a certain place, or you want to guide it in a certain direction, or you want to stop it. This practice may seem effective at first, but it can actually cause a lot of problems. Some people always want to feel where the qi has gone and where it stops, but in the end, most of them are just mental fantasies, so obsessing on the body's physiological reactions is not the correct practice.
It is explained here that the energy of this life is actually unobstructed or restricted, and all things depend on this energy to survive, and this energy can not only penetrate through gold and stone, but also enter fire and water without drowning, and can coexist with contradictory physical phenomena without contradicting them. In other words, the same is true of the relationship between Li and Qi.
"There is an ambush and killing machine in life, and there is business in killing." The Chinese Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra has a similar saying: "The root of the death of the living, the root of the life of the dead." As mentioned earlier, life and death are just a cycle of life energy. The ascent of the external image is called life, and the descent is called death. However, ordinary people don't know this, and desperately pursue a good appearance, so that bad things don't come. As a result, there are many upside-down and chaotic behaviors. This energy cycle rises when it comes up. It represents the coming of the future decline. When energy declines, it also means the manifestation of future vitality. You must know that no matter what kind of kung fu you practice, no matter how well you practice, you can't avoid the final illness and death. Therefore, a wise person will not blindly do a bunch of futile things to block the future trend in order to maintain the current state of affairs. What we should understand is to understand the context and principle of life, follow the rise and fall of this cycle, grasp the pulse of this up and down, and then obtain the truth of life, so that we can come and go freely in this flow of life. Relaxed. Looking carefully at the river of life, why some people can walk on the ground, but some people have repeatedly capsized. Now that I have read this Sutra of Washing the Pulp, I will have the opportunity to observe more of those successful life helmsmen in the future, and I should be able to have some experience.
"Reason is used by qi, and qi is used by reason. That is, the body is used for manifestation, and it is used for the body. Having explained the superficial relationship between Li and Qi earlier, here is a detailed explanation of the significance of the mutual use of Li Qi. Body and use, can barely be compared to the relationship between air and wind (metaphor is often the best way to explain metaphysics), there is no air. The wind cannot arise. On the other hand, there is no wind. It is also difficult for us to feel the presence of qi. Therefore, if you want to understand the "body", you must start from the "use". From observing the phenomenon and studying its movement, we can speculate and analyze the clues of the "body". In this way, although I am not very sure at first, I can slowly find out the clues of this body.
"It is neither the body nor the use, and the body and the use are not standing. Neither irrational nor angry, a word penetrates heaven. The explanation in this paragraph seems to overturn the statement in the previous paragraph. Since the previous paragraph said that we should seek "body" with "use", then why does it say here that "it is not body and it is not use"? , and don't even emphasize the body and use! Do you still say that this sentence is through heaven? Similar statements can often be found in Buddhist scriptures.
As mentioned earlier, ordinary people with their existing wisdom and ordinary eyes and ears cannot get a glimpse of this transcendent truth that they can reach and be free from being trapped by the cycle of birth and death. Because we do not have enough wisdom and merit, even if the treasure is right in front of us, we are like the eyes of a poor man who has never seen the world, and I am afraid that we can only discard it as a useless and beautiful stone. That being said, we always have to start slowly with the basics, and then as we grow in wisdom, we will be able to recognize the treasures in the future.
Now that the patriarch who wrote this sutra has revealed the truth, we can say it in modern vernacular: "I said earlier that reason and qi, body and use, I want you to seek the body with it, and use it to get reason." But that's just the way to get started. The real secret is here to tell you, in fact, the truth is neither the body nor the use, the body and the use are just the delusional separation of ordinary people, and the truth cannot be sought by the effect of this discrimination. In fact, the truth is neither the body nor the use, and the truth cannot be separated by the body and the two, so naturally it is not the reason and the qi that can be represented. Now I have revealed this great secret in one sentence, but it is only to be revealed, don't take this passage as the heavenly machine itself. ”
"A hundred steps forward, primitive and beginningless. Only when you understand the meaning can you wash the marrow." Then he continued: "If you want to understand this truth, it is like a hundred-foot-long pole, and it is difficult to reach the top of the pole, and it is even more difficult to go further. In the same way, to return to the primitive and have no beginning, it is even more difficult to imagine. But only by understanding this truth can we be qualified to start talking about the kung fu of washing the marrow. ”
In other words, only meditation and massage, meridian warmth, and bathing are not really considered to be the real kung fu of washing the marrow meridian, but to understand this to seek the body, return to the original beginning, and understand the truth that the body is not established, and then practice, is the real kung fu of the marrow washing meridian.
After the first part of the second chapter of the Four False Chapters has covered the mental methods of this sutra, the next step is to elaborate on some concepts to help practitioners understand the principles of this energy generation and operation.
The four are "earth, water, fire, and wind", which comes from the ancient Indian civilization, which believes that all substances in the world can be roughly divided into these four categories, and that the "earth, water, fire, and wind" represent their nature, rather than the substances of nature.
Ancient Indian philosophy regarded all matter in the world as an interplay of the four constituents. Nowadays, everyone who has studied modern science knows that substances are mainly formed by chemical or physical action, and their constituent elements come from different combinations of atoms and molecules. However, thousands of years ago, the civilization did not learn modern science, but it also knew this truth, and then extended thinking to know that since all matter comes from different combinations of elements, there is no eternal and unchanging reality in nature, and everything will change. Eventually, it will be destroyed. That's why it's called a "false fit".
"The vitality has been strong for a long time. Turned into water, fire and soil, water hair Kunlun peak, four pit well injection. "In the previous article, I talked about how the vitality is the innate energy of life, which is different from the acquired energy transformed from food and air.
When our life energy first takes shape, the form of this energy is as ethereal as smoke and has not yet been formed, and then after a period of time, this smoke-like energy slowly interacts and merges into different qualities. Then the sedimentation stabilizes, and slowly appears in the form of liquid, solid, different temperatures, etc., and then separates into substances with different textures, and then combines with each other. In the physical body, cells begin to transform into hard skeletal muscles (earth), blood, moisture (fire), body temperature, and heat (fire).
Kunlun refers to the head and spine of the human body, so "Shuifa Kunlun Peak" means that all kinds of fluids (blood, hormones, etc.) of the human body come from the head and spine, and "Sida Pit Trap Note" refers to the principle that water flows to a lower place, indicating that the nutrient solution is transmitted to all parts of the body through the body's meridians, acupoints and other channels.
"Sit still and get heated. There are fire tools in the water, and the heat and humidity are transpiration. for rain and dew. Born and living beings, the interests of the world. "Meditation here is not the "meditation" that we use our efforts to do, but the basic form of life. This passage is about the interrelationship of these four energies. This energy is static at first, static and vivid, and the first step of change is that it begins to heat up, warm, and this warmth is transmitted by the liquid to all places. Therefore, this heat is wet, and the heat energy and moisture are combined and steamed, resulting in a physical phenomenon like rain and mist, and the water is steamed into rain and dew due to heat, and chemical phenomena occur everywhere, which is the generation of all kinds of life or functions, so it is necessary to add a sentence "benefits are full of people".
"Water is clear for a long time, and fire is the fire of air. The human body is a small world, and everything is incomparable. "After the aqueous energy has been standing for a long time, some of the matter will gradually settle and condense to form a hard substance, and this hard property is called earth. Heat energy is the warmer and lighter part of this life energy. Therefore, the concept of the generation and operation of the human body is in line with the principle of heaven, earth and the universe.
"With this transfiguration quality, it is always more than qi. Originally, I didn't have it, and it was too empty to disband. After talking about the mysterious process and preciousness of the human body, here we have to use the same principle to explain the illusion and unreality behind it.
Since the human body is formed by a stream of energy, which is the nature of water, fire, and earth (the Indian concept is earth, water, fire, and wind, and the Chinese concept is gold, wood, water, fire, and earth), in retrospect, it is always the change of this innate qi (energy) that is just funny. This innate qi has formed a physical body from nothing, and this change is neither within our control, nor can we suppress it or make any changes, so in fact, we are not the real masters of this body, and this body has no way to die or live, to be sick or excited. Although we continue to study various efforts to continue or help life, such as taking medicine, surgery, or exercising, regardless of illness, the body will still die, decay and turn into dust, and still return to nature and nourish the earth.
"Life has not been born, death has not been death. When will the remains remain? Then the above truth continues to extend, and smart people must understand that life and death are just the process of transformation of this energy, and the real life really changes with the change of this energy? Although the body dies, does our gnosis die with it? After death, will there be another me in the new body? True life is not actually born and died with this energy, and true life is eternal and immortal. It can also be said that he has never lived and died with the change of energy. Since we know that this body is only a temporary change in energy, this change is only a change in appearance, and does not represent a change in real life. So why are we clinging to this body? Chinese Taoism and Indian Buddhism have had various legends of exercising the body and sustaining life since ancient times, but no one can prove whether it was successful or not. If it really prolongs the life of the body, this technique will not allow them to get out of this law, and this kind of effort will be in vain and fruitless after all.
"The world after old age. In the pretense of conforming to the truth, transcending the mortal. Refer to the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and live forever. There is no truth without falsehood, and there is no limit to truth and falsehood. It should be viewed as such, true and false. The four false combinations, who can distinguish this. "The idea that you really should have. It is to exercise the body and mind to transcend the mortal realm. For fear of not having enough time to work hard. So find a way to prolong the life of this body. By means of this false flesh to be conjunct to the "true." To understand this truth with wisdom, the key to this "truth" is the "life" that is not born and immortal, and only by mastering this key can we really get rid of the fate of growing and destroying with all things in heaven and earth.
Now that we have this body that is not long-lasting, let's use it as a tool to achieve our goals. Let alone! If there is no such fake, it is not enough to bring out the "truth". But if you want to have a false to discard and gain the true, that's a wrong idea. Although there is a difference between truth and falsehood, it is a distinction that belongs to us ordinary people, and with such a distinction it is impossible to explore the true life. For example, everyone knows that money can buy things, but money was created later, and it was not available at the beginning, the purpose was to facilitate the circulation of goods, but ordinary people have no idea about it, but they are competing to chase money and hoard money desperately. In fact, it is just a tool, a tool for the convenience of circulating goods. However, people who do not understand. I was confused by this concept of appearance, but I forgot its original intention and truth. Now I come back and talk about this truth under false pretenses. In fact, it is difficult to say that there is a distinction between true and false, and for beginners, there is a distinction between true and false, but for practitioners who are on the road, this concept of the distinction between true and false must be discarded and abandoned. As I said before, "neither the body nor the use, and the body and the use are not standing." It's the same thing. Before we figure it out, we should use this truth to look at the truth and falsehood, and thoroughly understand that if there is truth, there must be falsehood, this kind of opposites is not our goal, only by removing the concept of separation between truth and falsehood, can we "see" the truth of the matter, in order to understand the truth of what the ancestors said. In the same way, to say that these four major material phenomena are actually just various forms of energy, constantly evolving and flowing, and will not be fixed there forever, so it is necessary to say that these four major phenomena are falsely combined. Since it is a false union, we cling to whether the body is cold or hot? Will it move or be still? Isn't it very stupid to desperately find a physical sensation and find a "qi" to work in the body? If we really explore it logically and in detail, we will know that the Tao is actually an illusion, and it is just a forced classification of the human heart.
1. The Beginningless Bell Qi Chapter Universe is reasonable, and it is difficult to hear and understand. Whoever can attain enlightenment belongs to the vitality. There is no reason to be lucky, and there is no reason to be angry. Handed over and consistent, inseparable from each other. The epidemic is uninterrupted, and everything depends on life. Wear gold and make (1) stone, water and fire can be combined. Parallel does not harm each other. Reason and qi are the same. There is an ambush and killing machine in life, and there is business in killing. Reason is used by qi, and qi is used by reason. That is, the body is used for manifestation, and it is used for the body. It is neither the body nor the use, and the body and the use are not standing. Neither irrational nor angry, a word penetrates heaven. A hundred steps forward, primitive and beginningless. Only when you understand the meaning can you wash the marrow.
Second, the vitality of the four fake chapters has been dense for a long time, turning into water, fire and earth, water hair Kunlun peak, and four pit traps. Sit quietly and make heat, there is fire in the water, and the damp heat is transpiration, rain and dew. Born and living beings, the interests of the world. Water is the earth, and fire is the fire of the air (2). The human body is a small world, and everything is incomparable. With this transfiguration quality, it is always more than qi. Originally, I didn't have it, and it was too empty to disband. Life has not been born, and death has not died. When the remains will remain, the world after old age. In the pretense of conforming to the truth, transcending the mortal. Refer to the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and live forever. There is no truth without falsehood, and there is no limit to truth and falsehood. It should be viewed as such, true and false. The four false combinations, who can distinguish this.
3. All saints are the same as ordinary people, and beautiful clothes are body ornaments, and they are in vain to serve others. Food is the same for everyone, day after day. is busy with one thing, and there is no time to think about life and death. is always led by fame and fortune, and once his spirit is gone. The oil ran out and the lights went out, and the body was buried in the wilderness. Frightened dreams, thousands of hardships and hardships, and the illusion is endless. The saint is serious, clothed and vegetable, and is not greedy for self-control, so that he is tired. Penetrate the heavens and the earth, and be one with me. Although the body is large and small; Flexibility is no different. Heaven and earth have the sun and the moon, and the human body has two eyes. The sun and the moon are bright, and the stars and lamps follow each other. Even if the star lights go out, you will never lose your sex. Blinded, reaching out and touching his nose. The whole body is full of eyes, touching and leaning on knowledge. This is the spirit of the heart, encompassing the heavens and the earth, seeing but not seeing, hearing but not hearing. If the heart is pure, it will not be forced by lust. Know where you are, and return to where you are. Ordinary men and saints, with long and straight eyes and noses. The same comes and goes, because Peter is out of the way. If you can rest assured, remind you of life and death. Take advantage of this fitness drive and work hard. Wash the marrow and return to the original, and all saints are one.
Fourth, everything is the same as me, all things are not all things, and they are the same as me. Conjure up all kinds of forms and assist in business. Someone has to have something. It is used as food and clothing. Baits and utensils. If you don't have one, you don't have it. Flying diving and animal plants. All kinds of people are envoys. Creation thinks of He Hong, and killing is violent. Mayflies and mosquitoes and flies, dying in the twilight of life. Turtles, cranes and deer, eat less and be convinced, but for many years, people are not as good as things, only greedy for clothes and food, forgetting life and death. Gou can stop cravings. Everything and I are the same.
Fifth, the walking, living, sitting and lying chapter is like a blind without a cane. Vipassana is divided, low and steamed bread, and more practical. Every step of the way, don't be in a hurry. The world is busy and wrong, and it is safe to keep it slowly. Living is like a horse on the edge of a cliff, and it is also like a boat on the shore. Returning to the light and returning to the light, recognize the pause. Do not depart from the thoughts, do not do foreign affairs. It is advisable to know and pay attention to the empty valley. Do not tilt the standing, and the shape is self-solid. Ears and eyes are quiet. Stop water with a mirror. Everything is in the way, and now it is all in the end. Sitting like Qiu Mountain. Straighten up and solemnize. Close your mouth and hide your tongue deeply, and you can go in and out of your nose. Rest returns to the Yuan Sea, full of energy. The bones are in harmony with the marrow, and the mind is predetermined. Lying like a basket-shaped curve, left and right as appropriate. The knees are often uneven, and the feet are like hooks. The hands are always in the abdomen, and the umbilicus is touched to the lower body. The testicles are rubbed together, like a dragon playing with pearls. If you are tired, you will sleep on your side, and you will not be confused in your sleep. Wake up with your feet stretched out, and your back is not restrained. The dream is not different, and the nine years are practical. Beyond the threshold of life and death, it is as it comes. Walking, living, sitting and lying chapters, this is only the true meaning.
Sixth, the marrow washing and restoration chapter is completed, and it will become a diamond body. The external sense cannot be invaded, and the diet is not accumulated. I'm afraid that the seven emotions will hurt, and the original spirit will not be self-controlled. Although it has the appearance of Vajra, it is still driven by flesh and blood. It is necessary to follow the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", eat less and take more breath. Rub the dry foam bath, press the eyes and then the nose. Touching the face and rotating the ear, there is no need to count the number. Close your eyes and look at your nose often, and close your mouth to breathe. The degree is darkly harmonized, and the body is fixed. Every day on the fifth watch, spit turbidity and accept Qingxi. Open your eyes and don't be sleepy. Sit on a thick mattress and loosen the waist tie. The right knee wraps around the left knee, and the pranayama tongue is against the palate. The flank belly carries the tail lube, and the shoulders are shaken and the belly is pushed. Divide and press and lift, grip and press both knees. The nose goes in and out of the cotton, and it flows into the bottom of the sea. There is a refrain to swallow it, and it is sent into the abdomen with intention. Knock your teeth and sound the drums, and cover your umbilicus with both hands. Stretch out your feet and pull their toes, in and out of six or six breaths. Massage with both hands, and cross your knees for a long time. Straighten up and pause on both feet, the marrow washing work has been completed, slowly stand up, and move steadily. I am afraid that there will be mistakes in busyness, and slowing down is the rule. Three years and nine years, rest and cleanse. The bones are more harmonious, and they fly away from their shells. Gradually, the sky will be muddy, and the earth will end in the end. That is to say: there are few words in the mouth, less things in the heart, less food in the belly, less natural sleep, and these four less, you can live forever.
Shaolin's "Yijin Sutra" is a kind of kinetic exercise, while Shaolin's "Washing the Pulp Sutra" is a kind of meditation exercise, just like the Taoist Zhou Tiangong, the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" is a kind of internal strength that relies on meditation to practice. This is very easy for Gu Xiaolong, the "Tai Chi Young Hero", because since he was born, he has been sitting and meditating with his knees crossed every day, and he is very clear about the meridians of the human body, as well as the direction of the mental energy field airflow, etc., Gu Xiaolong himself has reached the point where he can freely enter the macromolecules composed of the human body, and even directly reach the inside of atoms and particles, and even the information carried by each atom, electron and particle can be understood.
Therefore, for the essence of Tai Chi's "Washing the Pulp Sutra", he had already felt the original information of the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" by using the neutrino-sized Zhou Tian's mind to perceive and feel the original information of the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" when he was fighting against the Eighteen Arhat Array at the beginning, and he had a fundamental understanding from theory to practice, and he was fully prepared to wash the marrow for the Ox of the Spirit.
After Gu Xiaolong waited for Shi Xiao Niu to meditate cross-legged, he sat cross-legged behind Shi Xiao Niu, his hands against Shi Xiao Niu's life acupoint, and carried the neutrino size Zhou Tian's mind energy field internal strength, and guided the mind energy field airflow to Shi Xiao Niu's air flow, and strictly followed the cultivation process of the "Pulp Washing Sutra", step by step from the foundation building. This is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and it is necessary to guide the cultivation step by step, of course, whenever he encounters a pass, Gu Xiaolong uses his own mind energy field internal force to easily open the pass for it, so it still has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
With the guidance of Gu Xiaolong and the help of perfusion and chongguan, it only took a little more than an hour to fully cultivate the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" for Shi Xiaoniu. It is said that there are less than ten people who can practice the "Purifying the Pulp Sutra" from ancient times to the present, and after these ten people have practiced, they have all become old people, because it takes time and endurance to complete the difficult cultivation at this time. The difference between the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" and the big and small Zhou Tian is that it is very different from the principle of first accumulating and then flushing, or first flushing and then accumulating. However, once the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" is practiced, it will be a great success.
Gu Xiaolong spent another half an hour guiding Shi Xiaoniu to re-cultivate the "Pulp Washing Sutra" that had been practiced, and infused at least one Jiazi's internal force into Shi Xiaoniu's dantian, which would not lose internal force at all for Gu Xiaolong, because there was the energy of the neutrino high-energy particle ring, and for him, this internal force was a drop in the bucket. It is also at the end of this infusion that a very bright mustard rice was formed in the dantian of Shi Xiao Niu, which is the dream of internal strength cultivators, although it is only a short time, you can see that the whole body of Shi Xiao Niu exudes a transparent luster, and even the Shaolin abbot master Shi Xing is delighted.
That is to say, this time the visit of "Tai Chi Shaoxia" has created two top masters of internal strength for Shaolin Temple, and has played a role in the inheritance of Shaolin Temple's internal strength, and has also improved the martial arts of Shaolin Temple at least two levels, the most important thing is to enhance the offensive and defensive ability of Shaolin martial arts against the enemy, and the substantial improvement of internal strength, Shaolin Temple monks and abbot masters are very pleased, all hands folded and bowed deeply, sincerely grateful for the selfless help of "Tai Chi Shaoxia".
It is important to know that among the Shaolin monks of Lu Dao, Shi Xiaolong became the world's world-level sanda champion for many times; The Shaolin Eighteen Arhat Formation has become a well-deserved first formation of the Blue Planet; Shi Xiaohu surpassed countless Shaolin predecessors in the attainments of the "Yijin Sutra", and became the first person to do the work of no one before or since; In the next cultivation, Shi Xiaoniu not only practiced real mustard rice, but also was able to go from the first "Bigu" for ten days, and the last time it could reach Bigu for three months, creating a new record for human Bigu.
