Chapter 218: Liao Dan

Uncle Long picked up a piece of wooden slip from the dusty table, in terms of the production process of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the writing process has long been very perfect, and paper books replace bamboo slips and brocade silk.

In an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, there is a piece of wooden tablet, which is really surprising.

The little third master's fingers lit fire for Uncle Long, and Uncle Long's yellow snake pupils shone slightly, and his pupils contracted, recognizing the words on the wooden tablet.

The Chinese characters are in the same line, and even if the ages are different, there will not be much structural difference. Especially for an immortal family like Uncle Long, who has a lifespan of nearly a thousand years, it is very easy to recognize.

After reading it, Uncle Long's hand gently rubbed his chin and said: "This is an ancient Yin-Yang Warlock's view and exposition on human immortality, containing the Taoist alchemy of the way of immortality, you can take a look." ”

As he spoke, Uncle Long handed me Mu Jian.

During the Ming Dynasty, Taoism had two methods of cultivating Jindan, one was Waidan, that is, gold, iron, mercury and other substances were refined into Dan in the alchemy furnace, and then swallowed with the Taoist mental method to achieve the purpose of immortality.

The ancients believed that the immortal properties of those metal elements could be absorbed by the human body by swallowing, and this process was alchemy.

Modern people know that eating that thing is at most a heavy metal poisoning, and maybe radioactive elements, and they don't know how they died.

But where did the ancients know these things? Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there are not a few emperors who are superstitious and have swallowed Dan to death.

The other is the Inner Dan, which is much milder than the Outer Dan. Neidan pays more attention to collecting qi to replenish deficiency, refining the five qi in his chest, using himself as an alchemy furnace, and refining a golden pill in his abdomen.

This kind of alchemy is somewhat metaphysical and very abstract.

The Taoist practice methods that have been handed down to this day are also developed from the Neidan cultivation method, and even the Northeast immortals are deeply affected, because they can really cultivate the Neidan.

I took the wooden tablet, squinted my eyes to make out the contents, and read it softly:

The clay puppets are also made of expensive and low, and there are scholars and women.

Its soil, its loam, people.

The withered turtle has no self, and can see great knowledge; The magnet has no self, and it can see the strength; The bells and drums have no self, and the big sound can be seen; The boat and car have no self, and they can see the distance.

Therefore, although I am wise and powerful, and have deeds and sounds, I have not tasted me.

If you knock on a drum, you have the shape of a drum; The sound of the drums, I feel it too. The past is gone, the remnants are still there, and they will never exist.

The shape of the drum is like my essence, and the sound of the drum is like my god. The rest of the voices, the soul of the Jews, the husband and the coming of the husband, then the five elements, how can I have it. Then all things in heaven and earth are my spirit, my spirit, my soul, who dies and who lives?

The wooden tablet is broken, this content is only about this, it can be seen that up to this point, the wooden tablet is expounding the theory of Neidan's cultivation, that is, the Ding furnace of the human body.

At this time, Uncle Long found another broken wooden tablet, which also had some descriptions:

Taishang said: Mrs. was born with sperm and accumulated gas, and was conceived to collect blood, so she coagulated the bones and vomited, spread the fluid, stood suddenly, became a child, and was born without it. So the nine gods came in, and the five organs were born.

Parents only know the beginning of childbearing, but they do not feel that God is in the right time.

The human body has a god, its dwelling is impermanent, the exhibition turns into glory, and flows into Yuanjin. This god is not like the three souls and seven spirits, but the spirit is qi, and he is born from his parents.

There are nine palaces for the gods, and the name is called the Nine True Monarchs, which are divided up and down, and transformed into ten thousand ways. If the son can cultivate it, then it will go out of the water and into the fire, and the five Tibets will be self-generated, and the long fast will be hidden in order to preserve its truth.

"It seems that a great expert who has practiced Neidan has stayed here. Judging from the manuscripts left here, this person's behavior is amazing, and I am afraid that he has already cultivated the golden pill in his body. Uncle Long looked at Mu Jian, his voice was slightly deep, with a bit of admiration.

Human cultivation is no better than that of the immortal family, and cultivating Taoism in a short life is like refining real gold with fire. Either the real gold is made before the fire is extinguished, or the immortal journey is not an adult to return to the loess.

But those who can achieve it are not ordinary people.

Uncle Long raised his hand and took out a piece of brocade silk, stretched out all the words on the two wooden tablets, and then threw it to me and said, "Take it, if we can go out, this thing will be good for you." ”

This hall was similar in size and scale to the previous one, but it was completely arranged according to the alchemy room of the alchemist. Unlike other places, there are traces of people living here.

In addition to the two wooden tablets, we also saw a huge alchemy furnace. The furnace was as tall as two people, with a floor area of six meters square, and the fire underneath it had been extinguished for hundreds of years.

Uncle Long circled around the alchemy furnace twice, stretched out his hand against the wall of the alchemy furnace, and suddenly his expression changed, and he muttered a few words with a strange expression: "Hell." ”

"What's wrong?" The little third master asked.

Uncle Long didn't answer, let us reach out and touch it ourselves.

Little Third Master and I are a little puzzled, after all, Uncle Long is not usually a person who likes to sell guanzi. But when our hands really touched the Dan furnace, the two of us were shocked, and we could clearly feel a wave of heat hitting the furnace wall.

It is better to say that this alchemy furnace is actually not extinguished, and there is still fire burning in it, otherwise it is impossible to maintain this temperature.

But how is this possible? This is not to mention the ancient tomb and furnace from more than 300 years ago!

"What the!" Now the little third master asked if he was calm.

At this moment, my heart suddenly moved, and the judge's robe I was wearing felt a trace of breath, as if there was something behind me. I turned my head to look back, and this time I saw the same faint figure again.

Uncle Long and Little Third Master originally wanted to study this Dan furnace again, but after discovering that my expression was strange, they turned their heads at the same time following my gaze, and immediately the demon power bloomed, and the two immortal families were each ready for a battle!

This time, it can be seen clearly, a burly middle-aged man, I don't know when he appeared in front of them.

The middle-aged lupine scarf, red hair and red eyebrows, and extraordinary aura are all in the line of yin and yang. The facial features are quite good, but there are weird tattoos on the exposed skin of the whole body, which adds a bit of evil to him.

At this moment, this middle-aged man is quietly looking at me.

Is it human? Is it a ghost? Is it a youkai?

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I glanced at the alchemy furnace and the place where I had gotten it earlier.

"Don't do it yet," I instructed Uncle Long and Little Third Master, and then asked the middle-aged man, cautiously: "Yours?" ”

The question was unprovoked, but the middle-aged man could understand what I meant, and he responded, nodding his head while he blinked.

"We didn't mean to come here, we just strayed into this place." I explained.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth to answer, and his voice was ethereal: "You will come here at this moment, which is also a kind of dark cause and effect. After more than 400 years of growth, Liaodan is coming to the day of Dancheng, not you will also be others. ”

"We don't ask for the things of our predecessors. I just want to find a way out of this place, if there is an exit, please let my seniors know. I asked respectfully.

The middle-aged man calmly replied: "This place is not in the two worlds of yin and yang, but in the gap between the three things. If you want to leave, you can leave from a dark gate under the underground palace, and if you want to get out of trouble, you have to swallow Liaodan. ”

"What's the difference between leaving and getting out?" The little third master interjected and asked.

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't answer, I thought for a moment and guessed the joint: "Leave, no matter life or death." Get out of trouble, swallow Dan can live, and my predecessors are guiding me to get out of trouble? ”

"You guessed it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. When you came to do the right thing, it was by chance. It came early, Liaodan was not completed, and it was useless to swallow it. came late, Liao Dan was taken away, and naturally there was no way to get out of trouble. Although the middle-aged man was a little demonic, his tone was calm and untraceable, "This is your cause and effect." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be solemn, and I also had a plan in my heart: "If the seniors have unfulfilled wishes, please also ask for instructions and do my best to serve the seniors." ”

Uncle Long and the third master gathered momentum but did not put away their weapons, this middle-aged man came too inexplicably, they didn't dare to be careless.

The middle-aged man didn't look at the three corpses, his eyes were only fixed on me, and after a while, he asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do with me?" ”

"Please protect the immortal family and keep the peace of your predecessors forever. Destroy the immortal jade, keep this place quiet, so that no later people will be offended. ”

The middle-aged man asked again: "Then do you still want to kowtow to me three times?" ”

I nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to ponder for a moment, and said: "I don't have any unfulfilled wishes, even if I have, hundreds of years have passed, and I can't wait." But there's something, can you run for me? ”

After I nodded, the middle-aged man said, "Go to Denglong Mountain in the Wushan realm for me, take my ashes to the main peak, and bury them there." ”
