"But senior brother, if I am allowed to cultivate step by step to the point where I can crush into the Xianyou Gate, I don't know the Year of the Monkey. And according to what you said, we didn't practice for a few years in our previous life, so we can go. I really want to know what happened to me in the past, according to what you said, your soul is still in the magic circle of the Venerable Moggallan, and if my magic weapon is still there, then my body should also be there, I want to see if I can get it back. ”

"I don't know what happened to our bodies, it doesn't matter if we get it back or not, and the Venerable One's circle is so easy to break, he was able to attain the true body of the Tao before he died. Besides, do you know where the Xianyou Gate is? We entered the Xianyou Gate at that time, but Senior Brother Pan sent us in, have you found the location? ”

"I probably know the location, now Songyang Temple has been renamed Songyang Academy, it is still in Songshan, and there is also a place called Xiaoyao Valley around. I read on the Internet that it was the dojo of Senior Brother Pan Shizheng in the Tang Dynasty, so it should be around there. I took out the webpage and showed it to my brother.

"The Tang Dynasty, alas, has it already described my Tang Empire like this? That's it, junior brother. If you don't let you go, you definitely won't feel at ease, and I don't know if you can get in. Let's go over and take a look first, and we have to prepare something, if we can't get in, it means that the time is not right, this time we won't go, after all, we can't be in danger again, what do you think? The senior brother knew that I was anxious and couldn't resist me, so he found a way like this.

"Okay, senior brother, I still have to buy a plane ticket or something anyway, and I have to arrange things here, it's not so fast. Also, can you teach me something about Maoshan Technique? I'm good at self-defense? I grimaced again.

"Maoshan technique? You, my Maoshan lineage is the true transmission of the Shangqing faction, you can learn the Maoshan technique, and I ask you if you can study the Shangqing Sutra? Huang Tingjing, do you have a closer look? Now that your true qi is running, the meridians you are traveling are not right, how can you transport my Maoshan Fa-rectification? The senior brother asked me with a serious face.

"What do you mean?" , I'm blinded, this is different from what I said in the movie novel, isn't it that a few tricks of Maoshan are very effective? Why do you need to read the scriptures?

"Senior brother, I understand your anxious feelings, why don't I burn everything for my brother. But Dao spells are not something you can learn if you want to, you have to have enough mental cultivation. My Maoshan lineage, for the Shangqing sect authentic, disciples need to be familiar with the Shangqing scriptures, Dengzhen Yindu, Huang Ting Jing and Dadong Jing and other classics, and have some experience, and then can teach Maoshan spells. During this period, the school also has to test the disciples' heart, understanding, character and other aspects. If you don't have enough cultivation, it's easy to go mad and be eaten by magic. If you want to learn the Maoshan technique now, I will ask you, if I teach you the Five Thunder Rectification Method, where does the true qi come from? How to communicate heaven and earth? If you can't control the divine thunder you have invited, what will happen to you? The senior brother said to me earnestly.

"What will happen to you?" , I see that my senior brother is so upright, and I also feel that things are wrong, not as simple as I thought.

"Five thunders! Burn the jade! The senior brother said eight words.

"Isn't it, senior brother, so serious? And I've read the Tao Te Ching, is that okay? I brought out the only scripture I had ever read, hoping to get some affirmation.

"That's not a classic that I pursued in the Shangqing lineage, just look at it, and it's not very useful for my Maoshan talisman technique. I advise you, junior brother, to read more scriptures, and to be less mindful, especially the Huang Ting Sutra, you must study it carefully, which mainly talks about breathing, breathing, and meridian operation. If you don't even know your own body, you can't talk about it. The senior brother shook his head and said to me, with a face of hatred that iron does not become steel.

I immediately searched on Baidu, and sure enough, I found that the Tao Te Ching was really just a classic of the Quanzhen School, and the Quanzhen School was only developed in the Ming Dynasty. Maoshan is a righteous school, and it was before the Tang Dynasty, so the senior brother does not pay much attention to the Tao Te Ching and other books that we now regard as classics.

With a bitter face, I found Huang Tingjing and Shangqing Jing from the Internet. It turns out that this Huang Ting Jing is also divided into interior and exterior scenes, thinking that yellow is the color of the center, the court is in the four directions, the outside: the heaven and the earth, the people, the inside: the brain center in the spleen, so it is called the Yellow Court. It is also mentioned that the human body has three parts, eight scenes, and twenty-four gods, and believes that if people can contemplate these three parts, eight scenes, and twenty-four gods, they can harmonize the five organs of Santian and not get sick. And explained in detail what the three dantian are, I am now the lower dantian, that is, the sea of qi is full, but the Jiang Palace and the Mud Pill Palace are not saturated. Intention to guard the yin and yang of the dantian, life is not dry; The intention to keep the dantian is the reluctance of the palace, which is the thoughts of people, and they will live forever; Intention to keep the nine true gods of the dantian can prolong life. The scriptures repeatedly emphasize the need to accumulate essence as the key to longevity, and explain in detail the issues of exhaling qi, pharyngeal jin, treasure essence, and solid essence. It's just that there are a lot of Chinese medicine acupuncture points and meridian names in it, and I need to understand it under the guidance of my senior brother and find the corresponding to myself.

As for the Shangqing Sutra, what I can find now is not too different from what my senior brother said, it should be added, subtracted or edited by descendants after the Tang Dynasty. The senior brother flipped through the pages for a long time, and told me to read the Shangqing Dadong scriptures first, and he should also read the other scriptures first. It's true that he hasn't seen some of them, but that doesn't mean they're useless. Let me read the Huang Tingjing to have an understanding of myself, and to read the Shangqing Jing is to have an understanding of the world. Cultivators, self-cultivation is for themselves, and demon slaying is for the world. If I hadn't been able to appreciate the balance and meaning of this from the scriptures, he would never have taught me the Maoshan Fa-rectification. In his words, only for himself, sooner or later he will enter the devil's path; Just for others, dying alone doesn't mean you can save the world. The first thing to cultivate is to cultivate the mind, and if the mind is uncertain, it will be difficult to achieve ten thousand laws. Moreover, the heart and sex are not one, the heart is acquired, and sex is the innate heart. The heart has been moved, the heart is not empty, the heart is cultivated, the seven emotions and six desires are diluted, but the heart must be kind and caring. Reading scriptures and daily cultivation is to hone the mind, to practice the muscles, bones and skin, and to cultivate the essence and spirit.

Senior brother's words make me secretly ashamed, I always want to take shortcuts, I know so many great demon powers, especially the tomato is still refining after eating the golden pill, I always feel that I also have some good luck, and I can fly to the Tao by eating something. But my brother's words made me pause, and cultivation was not an easy task. Going with the sky and going against the sky is the most difficult road in the world. Cultivating the Tao is not like cultivating Buddha, you can't finish cultivating in this life, and you will be reincarnated again. The first thing in cultivation is to cultivate longevity, and those who enter the Eastern Changle World of Taiyi Tianzun are forced to do so. Therefore, immortality itself is against the heavens, but if you do not follow the way of heaven to accumulate virtue and do good, you will be directly punished by heaven. Alas, ashamed, ashamed, will my idea of taking a shortcut be damned?
