If he occasionally feels tired or unwell, he uses the method of holding his breath to treat the sick in his body, so that the qi in his chest spreads to all parts of his body, whether it is the nine orifices on his face, the five organs of his heart, his hands, feet, limbs, and even the hair on his body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, you will feel that the qi runs through the body like a cloud, from the nose and mouth to the end of the ten fingers, and after a while, the whole body will feel very comfortable.

When the king went to visit Peng Zu, he often did not inform him, and secretly left some treasures and playthings for him to give him and left. The king's reward to Peng Zu was tens of thousands of gold, and Peng Zu accepted it, but he immediately gave them to the poor people, and did not keep them at all. There is also a person named Cai Nu, who has also been cultivating since she was a teenager, she is already two hundred and seventy years old, and she looks like she is only fifty or sixty years old, and she is also very proficient in the cultivation of the arts.

The king let the maiden live in the palace of the concubine, built a magnificent palace for her, and rewarded her with a lot of gold and jade. Once, the king asked Cainu to take a luxurious carriage to visit Peng Zu, and asked Peng Zu for advice on the key points of cultivation and how to prolong life.

Peng Zu said, "If you want to ascend to heaven and become an immortal official in the immortal world, you must always take Jindan." Jiuzhao and Taiyi all ascended to heaven because of the regular service of Jindan. However, this is the highest in Taoism, and the king of the world cannot do it. The second is to recharge one's mind and take herbs to live forever. But you can't engage in those evil arts that drive away ghosts and gods and fly with the wind.

If you don't understand the principle of yin and yang, even taking medicine will have no effect. As for the principle of the combination of yin and yang, you can only rely on your own inference and experience, how can you say it? I was a widowed son, my mother died when I was three years old, and I caught up with the Dog Rong Rebellion, and fled to the Western Regions, where I stayed for more than 100 years. I have been dead since I was a teenager, my parents have lost their support, and since then, I have lost 49 wives and 54 sons. Regardless of whether it is hot or cold, my skin is not shiny, my nutrition is not very good, my body is as thin as dead wood, I am afraid that I will not live long, and what I have seen and heard is also very shallow, there is really nothing to preach to others. There is a Qingjing gentleman in Dawan Mountain, it is said that he has lived for a thousand years, and he is still like a child, he can walk 500 miles a day, he can go without eating for many years, and he can also eat nine meals a day. ”

Cai Nu asked, "So what kind of immortal is Mr. Qingjing?"

Peng Zu said: "He is just a person who has attained the Tao, not an immortal.

All immortals can either fly into the clouds without wings, or can ride the dragon to drive the clouds to the heavens, or can transform into birds and beasts to soar in the clouds, swim in the rivers and seas, and fly through the famous mountains and rivers. There are also some immortals who feed on the vitality of heaven and earth, or eat the immortal medicine Ganoderma lucidum, or go in and out of the world so that mortals cannot see that they are immortals, or hide their bodies so that people cannot see them.

Some have extraordinary bony faces and strange hairs on their bodies, and they are lonely and do not interact with mortals. However, although these immortals have an immortal lifespan, they are too far away from human affection, completely isolated from the human world, just like birds and finches become toads, pheasants become mirages, they have lost their own reality, and have become a strange thing, and in my stupid mind, I do not want to become that kind of immortals.

To practice Taoism, one should eat luscious food, wear soft and gorgeous clothes, understand the principle of yin and yang interconnected, and be completely able to be an official. For many years in the world, cold and hot rheumatism can't hurt, ghosts and spirits dare not commit, five kinds of weapons and hundreds of poisonous insects can't get close, and other people's praise and disapproval don't care, these are the most valuable.

Even if you don't know how to cultivate the Tao, as long as you have proper cultivation, you can live to be one hundred and twenty years old. If you know a little bit about Taoism, you can live to be two hundred and forty years old. If you know more about Taoism, you can live to be 480 years old. If you really understand the principle of cultivation, you will be able to live forever, but you will not be able to become an immortal.

The most fundamental thing to prolong life is not to harm the body and mind: to adapt to the four seasons of climate change in the cold winter and hot summer, so that the body is always comfortable; to be moderate to beautiful women and leisurely entertainment, and not to be tempted by greed, so that your heart can be safe and clean; for the chariots, horses, and honor guards when you are an official, be content and not greedy, which can make you single-minded; music and painting are pleasing to the eye and make your mood enlightened.

All of the above can be used to nourish the body. And if you can't master these measures, you will do yourself a disservice.

The ancient sages, who were worried about the stupid, did not grasp the proportions of things, immersed themselves in the river of desire and lingered, so they wanted to cut off the source of human desire. So some of the very noble men did not sleep with their wives, and the second gentlemen did not share their wives.

Even if you take a hundred pairs of medicines, it is better to lie down alone and recuperate. Listening to too much music can deafen people's ears, and eating too much food can ruin people's tastes. If we control everything in moderation and properly handle the relationship between smoothness and blockage, we will not only not be able to reduce our lifespan, but we will also be able to reap the benefits.

All these things are the same as the use of water and fire, and if they are used excessively, they will inevitably suffer. People often don't understand that if the meridians are damaged, the blood and qi are insufficient, the internal organs are weak, and the marrow and brain are not solid, the body will inevitably get sick. And this disease is precisely because of external injuries, such as internal damage caused by weather changes or excessive drinking, and it is not that people themselves will be sick. Too much thinking, excessive use of the brain, excessive sorrow, excessive sadness, anger and anger, excessive pursuit, and inability to coordinate yin and yang, all of these can hurt people, but excessive sexual intercourse between men and women is the most hurtful.

This may seem strange at first glance, but it's not. Men and women complement each other, just as heaven and earth are born together. Therefore, the affairs between men and women should pay more attention to nourishing the spirits with qi, and not excessive and lose coordination.

Heaven and earth can never be ultimate according to the law of yin and yang handover, and if people lose the harmony of handover, they will be harmed. If a person avoids harm and obtains the art of harmony between yin and yang, he has attained the path of immortality. Heaven and earth are divided into day and night, and there are 360 transitions in a year, and the yang energy of heaven and the yin energy of the earth are fused together, so that all things can breed endlessly. If a person can conform to the way of heaven, he will be able to endure forever.

The second is the spell of exhaling luck, and if you get this spell, the evil qi will not be able to infringe on him, and this is the foundation of cultivating yourself. There are more than 1,700 other methods such as the guidance of the breath, the guarding of the shadow, and so on, as well as the direction in which direction to turn when sleeping in the four seasons, constantly reviewing one's mistakes, and sleeping and waking up early and late.
