Chapter 10: Practice
Qi Wufu sat at the stone table, and the old man let him drink a cup of tea.
When the tea fragrance is entered, I only feel that it is divided into two strands, one is reassuring and calm, and the other is in the center of the eyebrows, so that the original scattered, so that his headache and splitting heart gradually eased, and it is no longer as painful as the original.
The old man waited until he was in good shape, and whispered:
"The Tao gives birth to one qi from nothingness, and it produces yin and yang from one qi."
"Yin and Yang are then synthesized into the Three Treasures, and the Three Treasures are reborn and all things are prosperous."
"You keep in mind that this is the general outline of my lineage......"
Qi Wu said confusedly: "General outline? ”
The old man stroked his beard: "The general leader of all laws, with one unification of ten thousand, is the general outline." ”
"Although this is not a method of cultivation, it points to the Great Dao."
"You need to keep it in mind, so that you don't make a mistake in this life, so let you know in advance."
"As for what is taught to you......"
The old man stroked his beard and pointed to Qi Wufu:
"The great road of the world, two in one life, two in three, and three in everything."
"Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, yin and yang are in the body, the heart is the nature, and the kidney is the life; The heart is separated from the yang, and the sex is the kan and the yin; Yin and Yang give birth to the three qi, that is, the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit. ”
"And the practitioner needs to know about this creation, and then cultivate it in reverse."
"Three into two, two into one, one into the Tao."
"My Daomen starting kung fu is for [life gong], the three essences, qi and gods are born to the limit of life, and then they are combined into yin and yang, it is for the Yuan Qi Yang God, and the Yuan Qi Yang God is combined into one, so that it can be said that stepping into the avenue, from existence to nothing."
"Your mind has been well cultivated, and you can then nourish your essence next, and then turn into qi."
Qi Wu said confusedly: "Qi, does it mean that you have to breathe?" ”
The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Breathe? Wrong. ”
"The three products of medicine, the spirit and the qi essence, trance, and darkness."
"This essence is not sympathetic."
"Qi is not breathing."
"God does not think about God."
"That's the way to get it."
"In my Daomen, Qi is acquired, Qi is innate, and the two words are the same, but their meanings are completely different in Daozang."
"Cultivation is qi, and pranayama is qi."
"Refining and refining qi is the way of a martial artist, and refining and refining qi is the key to Taoism."
"Qi is the mother of Dan, and the meaning of this Dan is harmony, two in one life, two in three, and finally returns to the realm of nothingness in the Great Dao."
The old man said that he only taught one trick, but because in the method of cultivation and Taoism, a poem may be a inheritance, and each word has its own meaning, so it is actually a detailed description of the foundation.
"The first stage of Daomen cultivation is for the [Three Talents], also known as [Planting Three Flowers]."
"Whether it is cultivating the Tao or becoming an immortal, the first step cannot be avoided by this, people have essence and spirit, and they need to cultivate all of them to the extreme of their own body, to achieve full essence, full spirit, and full qi."
The old man pointed to Qi Wufu's upper, middle and lower three dantians, and said:
"It is called Quan, because in life in the world, I have experienced all kinds of things, illness, staying up late and sitting for a long time, injury, and the spirit and spirit will inevitably be damaged, not in a heyday state."
"This is a step that needs to be recuperated slowly."
"It's been a long time."
"When you reach the perfection of your spirit and spirit, you can aggregate into an innate Qi, and even if you can't merge into an innate Qi, you can live to the limit of human life."
Qi Wu said confusedly: "Life limit? ”
"Yes, due to the difference in their bodies, they are between the ages of one hundred and twenty and one hundred and thirty, and then they can live a worry-free life, no illness or pain, and they die in a dream, and when they die, they still have black hair, intact teeth, and no wrinkles in their skin, which is why they are called [full]."
"You can have a full life."
Qi Wufu pondered and said, "Then if you can't reach the realm of all essence, all qi, and all gods, you can go to gather, is it okay?" ”
The old man said with a smile: "The cultivation of the Great Dao has been difficult for a long time, and there will naturally be people who want to take advantage of loopholes, most of them have cultivated one of the essence qi gods to an extremely high level, and then attached to the other two, they can cross the realm of the three talents in a short period of time and breed supernatural spells." ”
"It's fast, but it's not long-lasting."
"Maybe you can be proud of one side in a short period of time and claim to be a real person, but the more you practice in the back, the more prominent the disadvantages of this tricky method will become, maybe you can't cross the past for thirty or fifty years."
"Therefore, it is called the side door, the left road."
"Although there are many kinds of supernatural powers, the lifespan may not be much stronger than that of the cultivators who are practicing seriously at this stage of the Three Talents, and it may even be lower.
"Don't be confused, you have to remember ......"
The old man pointed to the trees next to him:
"Our purpose is to practice, to be a realm, just like this tree, to take root more and more downwards and extend upwards; And many supernatural powers and methods are just fruits that bear fruit during the time of cultivation. ”
"Blindly chasing supernatural powers is like a tree using all its nutrients to grow fruits, so how can it grow into a giant tree?"
"Monk of your generation, remember it, prescribe it, and be cautious!"
The old man stroked his beard and said: "Okay, now sit here, I will pass on to you a mantra for breathing and nourishing qi, first cultivate the acquired qi, and then you can gather and become the innate qi in the future, and then it is possible to reach the realm of the top three flowers." ”
Qi Wufu sat cross-legged as the old man said, with his heart facing the sky.
Then the old man's fingers were in his dantian, and the flesh and blood in Qi Wufu's body flowed, and a trace of breath was naturally born, and then accompanied by the qi and blood of his body and existed in the body, the old man said: "Visualize the gods." ”
"Remember, the three words spirit and spirit are different from ordinary people's eyes."
"The meaning in the Taoist classics is that pure and unmixed is fine, accommodating blood is qi, and virtual spirit activity is god."
"It's for the Yuan Jing, the Yuan Qi, the Yuan Shen."
"Yuanzhi, the beginning of one yuan, means innate ownership."
"The core of everything is the original god."
"Harness the qi with the gods, refine the essence with the gods, and remember the method of circulation."
The old man passes on his merits, and he does not stand on words.
Instead, he directly took Qi Wufu to comprehend what the Great Dao was, and then, Qi Wufu's body would naturally know how to keep his mind, how to visualize, and how to operate pranayama.
Qi Wufu's mind flowed with the guidance of the old man.
The old man said: "After the martial artist cultivates, swallows meat, strengthens the body, and has strong qi and blood, he naturally perceives the flow of breath, flows to the extreme, and feeds the soul with a strong body, urging the heart." And my lineage of cultivation is completely different. ”
"The heart is weak and the spirit is condensed, the spirit is condensed and the qi is gathered, and the qi is gathered and refined."
"One gives birth to ten thousand, and ten thousand return to one, all of them are my [gods]."
Qi Wu was in a state of concentration.
And his mind is strong at the moment, and the traction of the flow of breath is also extremely smooth, and before he knows it, it is already a golden wuxi falling, the jade rabbit is rising eastward, and the sky and earth are drowsy, and it is already night.
When the snow melts in winter, it is much colder than when it snows.
On winter nights, even the guards had to wear thick clothes and use spirits to ward off the cold, Qi Wufu just sat outside in slightly thicker cloth clothes.
It was cold and windy outside, but there was a heat flow in the body.
The inside and outside are intertwined, and God is above it, overlooking all this, the breath is long and peaceful, and gradually returns to calm, and the mountains, the water, the trees, and nature become one.
Man is a part of heaven and earth.
Before the sun rose, the sound of birds and birds was already in the sky.
A finch landed in the yard pecking at the grass grains, jumped on the young man's shoulder, and then turned around and combed the feathers with his mouth, the young man's black hair fell slightly, stained with morning dew, and his eyes naturally opened, and saw a great sun rising from the sky, and purple air rising.
The boy sits under the plum tree, bathing in the sunshine and has a quiet temperament.
Birds and finches arrange their feathers on their shoulders.
All things in heaven and earth are quiet.
The old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "What can you get?" ”
