Chapter 487: Ancient Books (Part II)
"Demons and demons are all fallen by immortals, immortals are yang, gods are yin, and yin and yang rotate, that is, they represent the human body and the world. ”
"The human body is said to be in the universe, the four poles of the human body are called the universe, the stars are ranked, the thirty-six gods live in the five organs, there is a Beidou to protect each other, and people are the treasure of heaven and earth, the essence of all things, so they must open the door of practice, if their own practice is not smooth, then they will serve the things of the immortals and eat them. ”
"What is a fairy thing?"
"The ultimate treasure of yang, the ultimate treasure of yin, born and raised, transformed into the five elements, the human body is yin and yang, so it is necessary to use the qi of the five elements to open the world and shape the inner world......"
The voice was loud, and suddenly, this last sentence resounded in Sun Changning's mind!
Like thunder and vibration, Sun Changning hurriedly closed the book!
The voice in his head did not disappear, Sun Changning was suddenly a little frightened, this unreasonable thing happened to him again, and the magic in it was no less than that of a golden carp!
There is no doubt that this book has something to do with the so-called "gods"!
Sun Changning suddenly understood why Harris regarded this ancient book as a treasure.
If this is not the babble of some ancient bastard, then it is highly likely that this is......
A book of exercises for cultivating immortals!
I can't believe it, I don't want to believe it, it's even more unbelievable.
Sun Changning didn't expect this kind of thing to appear in front of him, people can break the limit by unremitting exercise, boxing is the road to the peak of life, but at this time, a book suspected of being the method of cultivating immortals appeared in front of him, Sun Changning suddenly felt a desire in his heart.
This idea made Sun Changning feel frightened, but he couldn't resist its power, there was a ridiculous saying since ancient times, don't fight with those who practice martial arts, after all, no matter how strong the person who practices martial arts is, he is still a person, but the immortal cultivator has "entered the Tao".
The thoughts in his mind were a little confused, Sun Changning snapped the book shut, stood in place for a long time, and only slowly breathed his qi and blood, until about a dozen breaths later, Sun Changning suddenly thought of Siming Toutuo.
Or rather, the Thirty-Three Musketeers.
Almost all of the people described in it have practiced martial arts to the extreme of the world, and martial arts are close to the Tao.
Siming Toutuo has the magic power of the mountains and rivers, which is no longer the kung fu of the world.
"Become an immortal and seal a god, subdue demons and eliminate demons....... Centering Ape Horse..... Slay the Red Dragon and Descend the White Tiger......"
Sun Changning felt that he saw a different road, which was a road to the sky, and it was also a road that had been sealed for thousands of years.
"In the past, there were masters of boxing who could practice martial arts to a level similar to the Tao, Zhang Sanfeng was immortal for three hundred years, Bodhidharma crossed the river with a reed, and Sakyamuni crossed the river with one finger lifting an elephant..... They are also human beings, but they have tempered the meaning of the word human to the extreme. ”
Sun Changning opened the ancient book again, and at the same time thought in his heart, the so-called extreme treasure of yang, the ultimate treasure of yin, said that his own cultivation is not smooth, then he will serve the things of the immortals and eat them, that is to say, Harris knows that the divine jade is the treasure of yin and yang?
He wants to eat jade?
In ancient times, there was indeed such a thing as eating jade, in ancient times, in Taoist alchemy, jade was a kind of medicine, but it was to be ground into powder, Ge Hongzhen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once wrote in "Hug Puzi": Jade is also immortal medicine, but it is rare.
It is also said in the Jade Sutra: Those who serve gold live like gold, and those who serve jade live like jade.
It is even said that after eating a thousand years of beautiful jade, you can immediately turn into an earth immortal.
These stories and legends are just absurd and ignorant statements in the eyes of today's modern people, jade can be used as medicine, but it can only be used as a medicine primer, if you really eat jade, it is not the same as eating gallstones.
It is also recorded in the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra" that jade can "moisten the heart and lungs, help the voice and throat, nourish the hair, nourish the five internal organs, stop irritability, and calm the soul".
Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty was also a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and he also mentioned in his "Catalogue of Famous Doctors" that jade is a high-grade medicine that can cure diseases.
"Zhou Li, Tianguan, Jade Mansion": "Wang Qi, then eat jade together." "In ancient times, people would grind jade into jade shavings and then eat it.
The ancients ate jade, mainly because they believed that essence could strengthen people's souls, and jade contained the essence of all things, so eating jade was the best way to maintain health. Therefore, eating jade can not only cure diseases, but also prolong life. For this reason, many emperors and nobles in ancient times had eaten jade.
Ancient Taoists believed that jade was an elixir and that eating jade could grow into immortals.
Under the influence of Taoist immortal thought, especially during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people who believed that eating jade could become immortals ranged from emperors and nobles to ordinary literati and warriors, forming a considerable group, and the trend of eating jade became prevalent.
They used various methods to collect jade and use it to make jade powder to eat, and when they got an old jade or a piece of jade material, few people spent energy to study how to process and carve this piece of jade into a famous weapon, and most people tried their best to eat the jade to achieve the goal of immortality.
The real person Ge Hong also introduced several methods of eating jade in "Hug Puzi": "Use black rice wine and elm to turn it into water, use onion pulp to eliminate it for pleasure, bait for pills, and burn for powder".
Most of the ancients ground jade into powder and made it into soup or small balls to eat, Ge Hong believed that the effect of eating jade was: "Serving it makes people fly lightly, and their lives are not limited", "Those who serve gold live like gold; Those who serve jade live like jade", "If you serve for more than one year, you will not get wet in water, you will not burn in fire, you will not hurt your blade, and you will not commit poison".
Interestingly, Ge Hong lived to be eighty years old. It is said that when Ge Hong died, he "regarded his color as life, and his body was soft, and he lifted the corpse into the coffin, which was as light as empty clothes, and the world thought that the corpse was dissolved to a fairy cloud." ”
Further forward, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had the move of using dew to supplement jade powder in order to seek immortality.
This custom has existed since ancient times, and the root of it is because of the word "immortality".
"Harris wants that piece of jade because he wants to... Eat?"
Sun Changning sorted out the context, and couldn't help but feel a ridiculous sense of absurdity from the bottom of his heart, after two thousand years of wind and rain, he would still believe in such a thing as eating jade.
However, the book in front of him was written about taking the treasure of Yang to Yin, before Harris said that he got a lot of people to investigate the Divine Jade, he should have confirmed something, that is, whether the Divine Jade is the so-called "Treasure of Yin and Yang" in the book.
"I want to emulate the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who ate jade and became immortals...... To be honest, if I hadn't read this book, I probably wouldn't have believed it. ”
The voice in this book can penetrate the heart and shake the soul, but although Sun Changning was surprised, there were too many magical events he had experienced before, so the ancient book could speak, which was not as impactful as those things before, after all, Sun Changning had already made some preparations.
When the book was opened, the voice resounded again, ethereal and lonely, this time no longer with the fury of thunder, but with a high sense of loneliness.
"Up to the North Hell, down to the South Mountain, the East Danqiu, the West Taihua, the worlds and mountains, 100,000 green mountains, 6,000 seas, I have seen clearly, this is heaven and earth, this is also the ........ of man himself"
