Before the Great Mercy King could refute, the old man began to speak.

There are two types of alchemy: the inner pill and the outer pill.

Nei Dan is an important Taoist cultivation method, generally regarded as a kind of Taoist qigong (alchemy), with the ultimate goal of cultivating to become immortals and achieve immortality. This technique takes the human body as the furnace, so it is called the "inner Dan", which is different from the "outer Dan" with the Ding as the furnace.

Neidanshu began before the Warring States period and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Traditionally, the main practitioners and researchers of Qigong were Daomen and physicians who were deeply influenced by Daoist medicine. Guhuaxia traditional qigong is all Neidan gong. The root of Nei Dan Gong is the Taoist theories such as the change of yin and yang, the five elements of shengke, the unity of heaven and man, and the correspondence between heaven and man, as well as the rich knowledge of Chinese medicine mastered by Danshi.

In the Han, Jin and Tang dynasties, Nei Dan Gong gradually dissolved into one with Daomen martial arts and became an internal martial arts. The inner martial arts conceal the inner Dan technique, and can be used, and many cultivators also use the inner martial arts as a shortcut to alchemy and cultivate the mind. Cultivating Nei Dan or Nei Jia Quan can generally make the weak person's physique quickly become stronger within a year or two. Taijiquan masters Wu Tunan, Chen Weiming, etc., all belong to this list.

Today, there are many people who practice inner boxing to strengthen their bodies, but many do not know the magic of internal boxing to strengthen their bodies, and they hide in the inner Dangong in the mental method. If you only know the appearance, it is really useless, and the one who lacks it is the inner pill technique.

Wai Dan Shu: Wai Dan Shu refers to the Taoist smelting of pills through various secret methods, which are used to eat, or directly consume certain sesame herbs, in order to ignite their own yin and turn them into yang energy. In addition, the Taoist Wai Dan can also refer to "the pure spirit qi of the void". Wai Dan can also refer to alchemy or Taoist spells such as talismans, thunder methods, etc.

"Danding faction" is the general name of various sects in Taoism that mainly seek longevity and immortality. It was first developed from the ancient immortal family and Fang Xiandao.

If you want to talk about alchemy, you have to talk about Wei Boyang, the ancestor of the Danjing.

This Wei Boyang, self-named Yunyazi, was born a high-ranking nobleman, but he did not want to be an official, he loved Taoism, and he had sought teachers and friends everywhere, and later met strangers in Changbai Mountain to teach the secret of alchemy, and since then he has entered the deep mountains to refine the elixir.

It is said that it took three months to refine it into a divine pill. Later, Wei Boyang combined his own experience to summarize the previous health preservation and alchemy, and wrote "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", the whole book is divided into three parts, "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed Ding Instrument Song", a total of about 6,000 words.

In the book, Wei Boyang uses the mysterious thought of the "Zhou Yi" to discuss the method of alchemy and cultivating immortals, and combines the "Dayi", "Huang Lao" and "Furnace Fire" formed since the Warring States Period to explain the principle of refining and cultivating nature, not only talking about the outer Dan furnace fire, but also the inner Dan cultivation; It not only criticized the mistakes of the outer dan, but also pointed out some deficiencies in the internal refining.

This "Shen Tong Deed" is the oldest surviving Dan book in the whole Shijie, and is called the "ancestor of the Dan Sutra" by later generations, and Wei Boyang is also respected as the "King of the Ancient Dan".

"Old man, what you are talking about are all legends, and there is no way to study them, is there really alchemy to become immortals? I read the history books, and there are many emperors who were poisoned by taking pills indiscriminately. I couldn't help but ask.

When the old man heard my question, he also fell into deep thought, and after a long time he said, "I don't know if I can become an immortal, but it should be possible to refine some elixirs that can prolong life." ”

"Now no matter what the problem is, we pay attention to using science to explain, Master, isn't this alchemy a bit pseudoscientific?" I asked tentatively.

The old man was still pleasant just now, and when he heard my words, he immediately became anxious and shouted: "Pseudoscientific fart! None of this is a scientific thing, how can it be explained by science? ”

"Then why haven't I heard that someone has become an immortal in recent years?" I didn't dare to refute it, and muttered quietly.

Daci Dharma King Hahadaxiao, pointed at the old man and said: "You are a dead bull nose, and outsiders always pretend to be a fairy style, but you and your apprentice don't pay attention to the image, Tianyou asks something, look at your attitude!" ”

Then he said to me, "God bless, I will do the same with this dead bull's nose, so it is better to worship me as a teacher and see how amiable I am." ”

"Okay, you old bald donkey, you went to someone else's house to dig a corner!" The old man stood up and pointed at the Great Mercy King and scolded.

As soon as everyone saw that the two were about to fight again, they hurriedly persuaded them, and I also opened the topic and continued to ask the question of Weishenme, who has not been alchemizing to become an immortal in recent years.

It was still the Great Compassion King who was more gentlemanly, pretending that nothing had happened just now, and said: "Actually, I guess there are two reasons why no one has been able to refine the pill in the past few hundred years, one is that with the development of human beings, the natural resources have been almost exploited, and there are no qualified high-grade materials; The second is that many existing alchemy scriptures and alchemy books have been lost, and no one will. ”

At this time, the old man did not forget to sarcastically mock the Great Compassion Venerable King, saying: "The reason you guess is that people can guess!" The main reason is that people nowadays rely too much on the development of science and technology, do not pay attention to their own cultivation, and there are no more people who practice the Tao. ”

A few people chatted nonsense until noon, Yun'er hurried to the kitchen to cook, for Yun'er's cooking skills, I really don't have to pick, it seems that this perverted instructor always comes to eat, and knows that Yun'er's cooking skills are exquisite.

It didn't take long for a table of rich delicacies to be served, and it was really like things to gather people in groups, the old man, the Dharma King Daci, Instructor Xu, and a mouse were all holding a bottle of Remy Martin and eating and drinking.

Yun'er and I sat together, picking up vegetables with each other, feeling Yun'er's strong affection, and the tiredness and complaints of this week had long been thrown away.

I suddenly remembered the matter of raising the Yin Land, and I didn't know how it was going now, and if there was any news about the mysterious evil path, I asked, "Uncle Shi, no!" Uncle Shi, how is the matter of raising the Yin Land? ”

Seeing the old man's unkind eyes, he hurriedly changed his words, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun again.

The old man smiled when he saw that I changed my name to Uncle Shi, hey, the old man who looks so kind has such a terrifying side, there is a saying called what, oh, yes! It makes sense to say that things must be reversed.

"It's not a problem to raise the yin at all, the dead cow's nose can be broken, the most important thing is that there may be a predicament below, and I don't know what is inside, although I have a certain degree of certainty with the bull's nose to be able to lower it, but I'm afraid that the evil path will be hindered in the middle, and the most terrible thing is that I don't know what kind of purpose that person is, if we open the predicament, will it help him." His Holiness said with a frown.

Yes, this thing is definitely not as simple as it seems, will it be deliberately designed to attract people to break through the predicament? But couldn't the mysterious man think that someone might see through the predicament? That mysterious person must be living nearby, and it stands to reason that such a tall person can't be an unknown person? What is his ultimate goal?
