"Lao Dan said: Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, the length is dwarfed, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are with each other."

"Zhuangzi" said: The former Zhuang Zhoumeng is Hu Die, lifelike Hu Die, self-metaphor Shizhi and! I don't know how to do it. Oh Ran Jue, then Yu Ran Zhou also. I don't know that Zhou's dream is Hu Die, and Hu Die's dream is Zhou? ”

In the writings of the two Taoist sages of Lao Zhuang, the relationship between "true" and "false", "real" and "virtual" has been revealed, and it is the best description of "true immortals" when applied to the practice of cultivating immortals.

Tian Buyi talked with Lao Zhuang for a long time, and he didn't dare to say that he had the essence, but he could also be called a true sentence.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, Lao Zhuang famously said, and then led to the Taoist theory of [True Immortal], and used the benefits of [True Immortal] to attract the yearning of Chi Songzi.

After all, if you want to fish, you have to come up with enough bait!

However, he seems to have forgotten the order of the timeline......

This caused Chi Songzi to be directly confused after listening to the two sentences:

"This ...... Who is Lao Dan? Where is Zhuang Zhou sacred? ”

Tian Buyi, who was about to talk eloquently, was also stunned when he heard the words, and unconsciously looked at the three group friends:

It's not good, the historical blindness is exposed, Xueba come to the rescue!

"Ahem!"

Zhang Ran coughed in time and joined the discussion casually:

"The immortal master doesn't know anything, this old Danzhuang Zhou is the ancestor of our teacher, he doesn't show up in front of people on weekdays, and he is not famous in the Central Plains, and it is normal for the immortal master not to know."

"But it's harmless, the immortal master doesn't need to care......"

After saying that, he gave Tian Buyi a look, and Tian Buyi immediately picked up the conversation:

"Ahem! Yes, the Immortal Master doesn't need to care. ”

"Although my Taoist cultivation focuses on cultivating qi, I am also eclectic to [essence] and [god], and I don't favor one side or the other."

Chi Songzi was stunned again:

"What is essence? What is God? ”

This is really not because he is unheard of, but because the cultivation in the ancient era was not as perfect as in later generations, and the division of cultivation direction was far from perfect.

Fortunately, Tian Buyi had some psychological preparation, knowing that the pattern of ancient qi refiners was small, so he patiently explained:

"There are three treasures in the human body, which are said: essence and spirit."

"The physical body is the partial manifestation of the [essence], the original spirit is the partial manifestation of the [god], and the aura and the vitality are the partial manifestation of the [qi].

"In this way, the unity of the three elements can obtain the Tao fruit, called [True Immortal], which can gain insight into the truth and falsehood, the virtual and the real in the world, and is really a generation that transcends heaven and earth......"

……

The Yellow Emperor is contemplating the wonderful path of [Refining the Void and Combining the Dao], and the extreme cultivation that has reached the extreme of heaven and earth is quickly transformed into an orthodox Taoist cultivation.

As the originator of Taoism, the Yellow Emperor's qualifications do not need to be doubted, and the longitudinal comparison with Taoist history, even if the Yellow Emperor is not as good as Lao Zhuang, it is also similar to Liezi.

This talent was used in cultivation, and he realized the meaning of [refining the void] within one day, the so-called refining the void is "refining the void into reality" and "refining the false into reality", which is the most critical step when cultivating the true immortal.

After completing this step, it will be considered half a true immortal.

The subsequent [Merge Dao] is in line with the Great Dao, and there is basically no difficulty for the demi-immortals who have completed the [Refining Void].

The Yellow Emperor used the "Three Treasures" transformed by cultivation to constantly try to fuse in his body, and he didn't care if he failed, and continued to fuse was ......

At a certain moment, I suddenly saw that the Three Treasures suddenly became one, converging into a mass of [Dao Fruit] that exuded the meaning of "truth"!

As soon as the Dao fruit was completed, the Yellow Emperor himself seemed to be a little ethereal, and his powerful power suddenly became restrained......

"Refining the void, cultivating the truth through the fake."

The Yellow Emperor slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to look carefully:

"Doesn't it look any different?"

The Yellow Emperor frowned, carefully feeling the changes in his body:

First of all, the Yuan Qi cultivation was gone, and the Qi Cultivator cultivation he had cultivated with Guang Chengzi was completely gone, like a mortal who had not been cultivated.

Then the powerful qi and blood of refining the body are gone, even more outrageous than mortals, at least mortals have qi and blood, but the Yellow Emperor at this time has nothing, which can be called weird.

As for Genshin......

"Huh? What about my Genshin? ”

The Yellow Emperor was stunned, the Yuan Shen is the consciousness of people, and without the Yuan Shen, it is a living dead with only a body.

But now, the Yellow Emperor felt that his consciousness was very clear, and he was not the slightest bit uncomfortable, but he just had no Yuan Shen strangely!

"This is half a true immortal? How do you feel that you are not as good as mortals......"

The Yellow Emperor muttered, feeling that his self-observation was still not very objective and accurate, so he thought about asking someone to see how different he was:

"Ying Long!"

There was a shout, but Ying Long didn't come in.

The Yellow Emperor felt more and more that something was wrong, as long as he shouted, Ying Long would come in, what was going on today?

With doubts, the Yellow Emperor walked down the steps and came to the door, wanting to push the door out.

But under a push, it was pushed empty, and I almost flashed my waist!

"What's the situation?!"

The Yellow Emperor panicked, obviously seeing the door in front of him, but he couldn't touch the door, as if he was a false phantom......

"No, it's not."

The Yellow Emperor immediately calmed down, thought about it carefully, and felt as if he was thinking wrong:

It's not that he has become false, but that the door, or all things in heaven and earth have become false, how can "truth" touch "falsehood"?

"Old Danyun: There is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are compatible, length and shortness are dwarfed, high and low are inclined to each other, sound and sound are harmonious, and they follow each other before and after."

"Zhuang Ziyun: I don't know if the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou, or is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies?"

"I'm real, and the door is fake, so I can't touch it."

"The reverse is also true, for the door, I am [false], because the virtual and the real are relative concepts......"

The Yellow Emperor suddenly realized, and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing:

"I see, the virtual and the real are relative, this is a true immortal, and I am now half a true immortal!"

"[Refining the Void] has been accomplished, and the next step is to find the [True] identity of the self, that is, the [Harmony], to find the [Truth] that belongs to me by borrowing the avenue between the virtual and the real!"

The Yellow Emperor smiled, stepped out, as if casting a spell through the wall, and passed through the gate silently......

Outside the door, Ying Long stood bored, as the bodyguard of the Yellow Emperor, he must always guard the Emperor of Heaven to prevent assassination...... Well, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to be assassinated with the combat power of the Yellow Emperor.

Therefore, Ying Long stood guard, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the practical significance......

"Ying Long!"

The Yellow Emperor stood in front of this great man and called him softly, but Ying Long was unaware of it, completely unaware that the Heavenly Emperor was standing in front of him at this moment.

"The big sound is sound, the elephant is invisible, I see!"

The Yellow Emperor sighed with emotion, his existence is "real", that is, "elephant", and his voice is also "real", that is, "big sound".

However, peerless figures like Ying Long can't see his own image or hear his own voice, which means that he has not yet broken through the distinction between "virtual and real".

The Yellow Emperor sighed leisurely, no longer called for Ying Long, and stepped forward, already with the meaning of "real", he penetrated the infinite space-time void at a glance, and saw the only "truth" in his own world:

A towering verdant giant tree piercing the clouds seems to be evergreen for hundreds of millions of years!

A land of chaos and nothingness, sitting above the nine heavens!

"Jianmu, avenue."

The Yellow Emperor smiled and strode forward.

……

Ying Long stood guard, standing and standing, and suddenly felt that something was wrong:

"Why does the Heavenly Emperor's qi seem to have disappeared?"

With a sigh in his heart, Ying Long hurriedly opened the door, and suddenly saw that the high platform on which the Yellow Emperor was sitting was already empty, and the Emperor of Heaven disappeared inexplicably!

Ying Long was so frightened that he hurriedly reported the matter to Changyi, the second son of the Yellow Emperor of the Prison State, and the Great Xiangfeng:

Emperor of Heaven, missing!
