Text: Volume 4, Chapter 6, Ninth Order and Three Clearings

On this day, Li Qingtong got up late, the huge dining hall was empty, and there were few people dining. was chewing tasteless steamed buns alone, but saw the fifth senior brother Liang Qingshan hurriedly walk in from outside the door on the side:

"Master said yesterday that today I will officially teach the exercises to the disciples, I have to leave in advance, you go as soon as you finish eating!"

Then he hurried away.

Li Qingtong was very excited after hearing this, and swallowed the steamed buns in his hand after dividing them by two, the porridge was too hot, and it was spoon stirring and shhhing, and it took a long time to drink it, and when he rushed to the "Supreme Hall" happily, he didn't see a single figure.

In confusion, I saw the eighth senior brother Wan Qingye hurriedly walking from the front, and shouted from afar: "Seventeenth senior brother, let's see if there is anyone in the backyard?" The fourth senior uncle asked you to go to the front hall square, and the head of the sect has changed to preach and preach the Fa there in public today. ”

"Okay!" Li Qingtong replied.

The two of them walked to the arches on both sides in turn, and shouted towards the cloister compound inside, one by one.

"Is there anyone else in there? Hurry up and go to the front hall square!

"Is there anyone else? Go to Ceres Square immediately! The master is about to preach and teach the Fa!"

......

The two hurried to the front of the Ceres Temple, only to see more than 300 Qingyang Sect disciples waiting on the square of the front hall, standing together in white clothes and white skirts, under the blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by the blue wall and blue tiles, looking at it like a cluster of white clouds falling to the ground, beautiful.

After a while, I saw that the head of the Xuanji Daoist, accompanied by the fourth uncle Xuanmei Daoxian, stepped out of the Cereals Temple, standing on the high platform in front of the corridor, there were waiters on the two green paving groups, the two masters sat down cross-legged, and the Xuanji Daoist cleared his throat and began to preach the true exercises.

"In six months, it's the Autumn White Festival again. According to the advanced practice of my Qingyang faction for one small examination in three years and one major examination in six years, next year's Autumn White Festival will be the day of the big examination for the disciples of all peaks and veins of Qingyang Mountain, and they will be graded together. In the past few years, you have all studied and practiced hard, and many of you feel that your boxing skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and your external kung fu has grown rapidly, and your internal refining of true qi has become a pill, but what is the real practice of the martial arts? Next year's Autumn White Festival will be clear at first sight, and it will only be a year and a half. For this reason, I and your fourth uncle are here to hold this Dao Gong Dharma meeting to publicly teach the Fa, hoping to be beneficial to your cultivation. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately silent, and they all pricked up their ears in anticipation.

"The exercises of my Qingyang School originated from Ziyang Mountain, a famous mountain in Xiguan. More than 300 years ago, there was a genius disciple among the five generations of the Ziyang Sect of Ziyang Mountain, who was called the Taoist of Tsing Yi because he was dressed in Tsing Yi. Tsing Yi Taoist ordered to come to the coast of the East China Sea, because he saw that on this Qingyang Mountain, the sky is vast and clear, the mountains are clear, the mountains are clear, and the stream is smart and clear, which implies the upper, middle and lower three layers. Qing's meaning, then sit on the top of the Lingxu Peak, hold the Yuan Shouyi, fasting and breathing, absorb the star power of the nine heavens, gather the aura of the eight wildernesses, take the body as the Dan furnace, imitate the luck of the heaven and the earth, take the spirit and spirit as the herb, imitate the hundred grass and star stones between the heaven and the earth, sit and practice for nine hundred and eighty-one days, get the avenue exercises, the eyes can carefully observe the ants of a hundred miles, the ears can listen to the sound of a thousand miles, the qi can turn into swords, guns, swords, halberds and eighteen weapons, and the kinetic energy drives thousands of objects such as wood, fire, earth, gold and water, not only can separate the spirit - one gasification and three clearing, A magic three-body, and when encountering an enemy, it can take away its divine consciousness - grass, trees, insects, birds and beasts, all of which can be sealed into their own weapons and weapons. ”

"The Taoist people in Tsing Yi looked up at the sky again, looked down on the geography, traveled the East China Sea with the sword, tread the waves of the river, flew the sea of clouds through the secluded stream, descended the Xuanyu to collect the turtle, practiced the Yang Fist Yang Ming Sword during the day, and studied the Three Yi and Three Emperors Sutra at night, so that after another ninety-nine eighty-one days, he fused the half-life martial arts and Taoism in one furnace, and created the unique Dao Zhen Supreme Exercise of our Qingyang School, which was named 'Sanyuan Nine Order Supreme Dao Method'. Then, the Taoist people of Tsing Yi chose the peak on this Qingyang Mountain, built the pavilion and built the palace, and it took 9981 days to preliminarily build a pavilion, a hall and a peak gate. ”

When Li Qingtong heard this, his heart was greatly excited, and he thought to himself that he must learn to penetrate this "Three Yuan and Nine Order Supreme Dao Method".

Although the pavilion hall was built, the peak view appeared, but the Taoist people in Tsing Yi did not preach the Dharma at first, but only collected medicine to cure the disease, alchemy to save the danger, and the name of the divine doctor soon spread; As a result, there is an endless stream of visitors who climb the mountain to take in the scenery, and the people who seek the way to seek immortals are eager to rush to it. In fact, the original intention of the Taoist in Tsing Yi is still in the true martial arts, he saw that the time was ripe, but chose to officially open the door to accept apprentices, open the pavilion to preach, and open the hall to teach martial arts. Since then, he founded the Qingyang School, a great oriental school of Daozhen Kung Fu, preaching and preaching the Dharma, teaching martial arts, teaching boxing and sword practice, and cultivating true alchemy. The Qingyang faction flourished in Donghua. The Qingyang faction was named after Qingyang Mountain, and Qingyang Mountain was famous all over the world because of the Qingyang faction. Tsing Yi Taoist calls himself Qingyang Taoist, and everyone in the world respects Qingyang Zhenren. Hearing this, everyone naturally understands that this Qingyang real person is the ancestor of my Qingyang faction - the master of my master 'Chongxuzi', and naturally the ancestor of our Qingyang faction. ”

"At the beginning of the founding of the school, there were many people who studied the law and sought the Tao, and the number of people who practiced martial arts and swords was as vast as a sea of smoke, and they could not tolerate it. Later, the actual situation also proved that the ancestor had a unique vision, and the majestic Tao was very, and in just three hundred years, the Qingyang faction of Wu Qingyang School grew from scratch, from weak to strong, not only squeezed into the rivers and lakes to cultivate the four famous schools of true martial arts, but also ranked first in the influence of the secular world in the world, resulting in the Daozhen martial arts sect becoming the de facto state religion of our dynasty. Although from the very beginning of the opening of the Pavilion, the disciples of later generations were taught to despise power, emphasize pure cultivation, sacrifice floating and seek truth, sacrifice wealth and seek talent, and sacrifice profit and seek righteousness; however, due to the rapid growth of our Daozhen Gongfa and the rapid growth of the registered disciples, and their influence in the dynasty and the country is becoming more and more extensive, almost all the Taoist and secular worlds have recognized the rank of our disciples, and have taken this as a yardstick for the secular evaluation of moral exercises and norms of life. ”

"Next, I will tell you in detail about my Qingyang Sect's survival of the fittest, three elements, and nine orders of cultivation Dafa. Some of my disciples may have heard me teach, but I don't think the vast majority of my disciples have not, because today is the first time that they have publicly taught the Dharma in front of so many people in the square of the main hall, and those who have heard it can be said to be lucky. The so-called Ninth Order refers to the fact that ordinary people need to go through nine grades in cultivating the Dao, and below the fourth order, in addition to the different cultivation contents, the requirements for other aspects such as the cultivation period, advancement, and completion are all similar, and the duration of each level of cultivation cannot exceed six years. ”

"The name of the beginner disciple is Qianyuan, and he needs to select a young man with good qualifications from six to ten years old (generally speaking, the younger the better), and he does not have to become a monk (the following levels are the same), and the content of his cultivation is to preach and refine the body, practice the muscles and bones outside, expand the veins and build the foundation inside, wash the scriptures and cut the marrow, and the beginning of the Yuan is mixed; those who have completed eighteen years of skill enter the first order, and the rest of the people, those who have completed the six-year period and have not yet completed their skills, will return to the world after graduation, choose the right path, and award the first-order Taoist Taoist crown, and award a Qingyang School Yuhuang. The second-order disciple's name is called Jiantian, and the cultivation is to pass on the gong and teach the fist, concentrate on the Tao, inhale the energy and qi outside, follow the subtlety around the body, keep the heart in the inner fast, listen to the breath and collect the qi, clear and turbid, and there is heaven and earth in the inner view; The third-order is said to contain a chapter, the cultivation is to pass on the martial arts and learn the sword, the momentum is like a rainbow, the internal and external body, refining and refining the qi, the qi knot turns into the fetus, and the inner Dan is born; After the third order, if you go up, it is called entry. The fourth order is said to be Yueyuan, and the cultivation is to teach the law and refine oneself, alchemy tools, drive things away from the air, fly in the air, condense the spirit, and the infant has a body; Those who complete the course and go down the mountain will be awarded the fourth-order Taoist Dao crown and a Qingyang Sect jade jue; those who do not want to go down the mountain, even if they have reached the age of six years and have not been promoted, can stay and continue to cultivate and sprint to the fifth order; and those who have volunteers can also become official disciples. The fifth-order is called the jade dragon or jade phoenix, the male disciples are awarded the cyan jade dragon pendant of the Qingyang faction, and the female disciples are awarded the cyan jade phoenix pendant of the Qingyang faction. Ordinary people enter the fifth order, at least 90 years of cultivation skills, plus the Yuanyang skills before entering the mountain, can be described as a hundred years of skills, the practice is a great achievement, and then enter the 'Yuqing' realm, such as the jade dragon and jade phoenix flying in the sky, can crisscross the world, far more than comparable to people, the world is called 'alien', the people blindly worship, sometimes called 'immortals' and 'gods', in essence, it is the most appropriate title of 'alien'. ”

The disciples were listening with excitement, but the head of the sect stopped. Then a disciple offered purple sand tea, perhaps because the head of the sect had been preaching for too long, his tongue was dry and his throat was dry, and he drank it like a sweet one, and his face showed a comfortable demeanor, and then he continued to speak.

"Starting from the fourth level, each of the three levels together is called a realm, which is called the lower, middle and upper three grades of this realm, and the upper grade of each realm and the lower grade of the higher realm are overlapping and overlapping each other, and each grade of each realm must be tribulated before it can be jumped, and each eons are tribulations in the advancement, and it is also a ladder for leaping in the realm. The fourth order is the lower grade of Yuqing, the fifth order is the middle grade of Yuqing, the sixth order is the upper grade of Yuqing, and it is also the lower grade of the higher realm of Shangqing. ”

"If you want to complete the fourth-order cultivation and enter the fifth-order jade dragon and jade phoenix, you must survive the tribulation, otherwise it will be difficult to cultivate upward, this tribulation is commonly known as the 'earth tribulation'; only those who succeed in the 'tribulation' can successfully enter the fifth order and thus the dragon and phoenix dance, but the 'tribulation' is risky, so many ordinary people who cultivate to the fourth order will stop abruptly and no longer cultivate deeply. If anyone can successfully survive the tribulation from the fourth order, leap up the abyss, and truly reach the fifth-order cultivation realm, then it is the dragon and phoenix among people, and it is truly called 'Yuqing'. Cultivation after entering the fifth order is long and difficult, if you ask me what is the most difficult thing in the world, then let me tell you, it is the cultivation of the fifth-order jade dragon and jade phoenix, there are many capable people and qi refiners in the world, after cultivating to the fifth order, they will be extremely poor all their lives, but it is difficult to break through upward, because if the fifth order wants to complete the cultivation, it must survive the 'heavenly tribulation'. There is a famous saying in the cultivation realm, called 'dragons and phoenixes are easy to cultivate, but the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation'; the fifth-order jade dragon and jade phoenix that are difficult to cultivate have become 'easy to cultivate' in the face of the 'Heavenly Tribulation', you can imagine the difficulty of the 'Heavenly Tribulation'. ”

"Once the fifth-order cultivation is complete, then you will enter the sixth-order Xuanhuang. The sixth-order Xuanhuang is the upper grade realm of 'Yuqing', and it is also the entry stage of 'Shangqing', which is called the 'Shangqing' lower grade, and there is no absolute boundary between the two realms. The Xuanhuang person is the real so-called 'half-immortal body', and he can start the exploration of refining the gods and returning them to the void. If the sixth-order Xuanhuang still wants to improve his strength, increase his cultivation, and go to the next level, then he can only do it to 'immortal tribulation'. The seventh order is the middle grade of the Shangqing, and then it goes up, the eighth order is the immortal, the ninth order is the god, and the cultivation method is different, so there is no longer any rule. ”

"Above the 'Yuqing', it is called 'Shangqing'. If 'Yuqing' relies on talent and hard work, then if you want to cultivate 'Shangqing', in addition to talent and hard work, there is another factor that cannot be found, that is, chance. Above the 'supernatant', it is called 'too clear'. The eighth-order is immortal, the ninth-order is the god, and the immortals and gods who have been cultivated must be in the realm of 'Shangqing', but the immortals and gods still have to continue to practice, and it is not easy to cultivate to become 'Taiqing', 'Taiqing' ah 'Taiqing', that can only be said to be a myth and legend in the Three Realms......"
