Chapter 186: Wai Dan Technique, Lu Linglong's Help!
Chapter 187: Waidan's Technique, Lu Linglong's Help!
Day 2.
You Fang and his entourage left Jialong Mountain, after all, this "Earth Walking Immortal" lineage is only a small faction, and the inheritance is relatively secret, and the things that can be exchanged in it are very limited.
At this point, the forces to be visited in Hunan on this trip were also finished, and the five of them continued to go south, heading towards the boundary of Guangdong.
Speaking of which, in You Fang's plan, this Guangdong region is also a major focus of his travels, and the reason for this is because this area of Daomen forces is a representative of the southern sect of Daomen.
Among them, Guangdong has "Luofu Nanmao Mountain", which is a major branch of the Daomen Zhengyi faction in the south, and the adjacent Hainan has the "Quanzhen Jindan School", and its ancestor "Qiongshan Taoist" Bai Yuchan is the founder of "Nanquanzhen".
There is no doubt that the "famous doors" in these two great gates are all visited by You Fang one by one, just because the cultivation methods of these two doors are different from those he usually comes into contact with, which makes him want to see one or two.
For example, this "Luofu Nanmao Mountain" is not the "Inner Dan Technique" practiced by ordinary Taoist sects, but it is completely different, based on the "Outer Dan Law"!
The so-called "Wai Dan", also known as "Wai Dan Huang Bai Shu", "Jin Dan Technique", "Wai Dan Immortal Learning", and the root of it is the method of "alchemy".
If you look closely, "Waidan Huangbaizhu" is a recipe for making medicinal gold and medicinal silver, which was called "alchemy" in ancient times, and "Jindanshu" is the combined name of "alchemy" and "alchemy......
From a historical point of view, the source of "Jindanshu" is not very far away, which is the product of the theory that people in ancient times sought the "elixir of immortality" and turned to refining it themselves, and "eating gold is like gold, and eating jade is like jade".
As for what this "golden pill" is, it is the combined name of "golden liquid" and "returning pill", and "golden liquid" and "returning pill" represent water refining and fire refining respectively, which are two different refining methods in the "alchemy technique".
Among them, "water refining" is to turn gold and stone into liquid, and its medicine is represented by gold and jade; "Fire refining" is to put the gold and stone in the furnace to exercise into the elixir, and its medicine is most famous for "sand mercury".
In ancient legends, the "golden pill" originated from the developed metallurgical manufacturing industry in the Yin Shang era, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, the metallurgical process of the craftsmen was transformed into the alchemy of the laboratory of the "alchemists", and then developed from "alchemy" to "alchemy".
At the same time, "alchemy" is also known as "alchemy", and the monks believe that through the "elixir" can turn base metals into gold and silver, so they take "gold" as the name and are also incognito as "yellow and white amycedes".
However, in this way of alchemy, most of the "Danjin" and "medicinal silver" produced were "copper alloys", which were turned into "gold liquid" and consumed by the monks, or thought that they were useful for longevity as eating utensils, and later they were also used as funds for cultivation and poverty alleviation.
At that time, Jin Danshu had a slogan: "If Jin is successful, the world can be measured." If the gold is not successful, the life is difficult to solid", thinking that the refining pill can be counted with gold in order to become an immortal, and if it cannot be counted with gold, the pill will not be completed.
Of course, this is only the initial "alchemy" scene, after all, the "golden pill technique" at that time was only the beginning of the theory, and the specific details have not yet been completed, whether it is absurd or not, they are all trying.
After the long-term development of the Daomen, today's "Outer Dan Technique" has already been completely formed, which is not only very in line with the principle of cultivation, but also theoretically has the possibility of "a Dan soaring".
From the perspective of cultivation and the thinking of the Daomen, the essence of this "Wai Dan Technique" is actually to condense time and space in the alchemy furnace, simulating the laws of the evolution and inversion of the word universe, so as to refine a kind of condensed "Dao" called "Returning Dan".
Because its process is actually a simulation experiment of the "Dao", "Dancheng" is "Daocheng", and "Dan is not successful", "Dao is not successful", so in the concept of "Wai Danjia" of Daomen, taking the Dan refined in this way is to serve the solid Dao, so as to become an immortal.
In addition, the practice of "Wai Dan Shu" does not mean not to practice "Nei Dan", in fact, the Dao Sect method continues to this day, and the way of the north and the south has long been blended, as early as the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the "Wai Dan Shu" has been quoted in the "Nei Dan Shu" terminology and theory.
It's just that the "Inner Danshu" is to directly "refine one's own body", while the "Outer Danshu" is to first refine "Jing", "Qi" and "Shen" externally and melt them into one furnace, and then merge with one's own body.
As for why You Fang is so interested in this, in addition to the fact that this is another different kind of cultivation avenue, there is another point, that is, now that he has the "Nine-Tailed Fox Diagram" and has mastered the "Alchemy Technique", it is natural to learn more.
Nowadays, he has no magic and no pill formula, and can only do the most basic alchemy with "sex", "life", and "qi" as raw materials, which is undoubtedly quite crude and primitive, and it is difficult to really enter the hall.
Therefore, as soon as the group arrived in Guangdong, they immediately headed towards Luofu Mountain, and after entering the mountain gate, showing their identity to the Taoist priests, and explaining their intentions, they were immediately treated very well before they even took out the salute.
It's no wonder, after all, by now, the matter of their group of five people traveling and visiting has spread throughout the Huaxia Inhuman World, and the route of travel has basically been clear, so when they arrived in Hunan and showed up, the forces around Hunan also got the news and prepared to rise.
Although it is said that You Fang and his entourage have done something big in just two or three months, it is like a disaster, but that is only for the company, not the entire rivers and lakes.
Contrary to the company, for the various major factions, their own identity potential, the background behind them, and the method of "Divine Skill Hundred Refinement" carried by them, no matter which one they are, they are all worthy of friendship and should be bonded.
Of course, most of the sects that hold this idea are secular sects, and they don't think so within the Daomen, but for the Daomen, it is about "discussing the Dao".
To this day, even in the "Quanzhen School", which advocates Qing cultivation and escapism, it has long been heard that You Fang is the best seedling of the "Trinity Gate" for hundreds of years, and the fellow Fu Chen is also a rare body of cultivation, and the two of them themselves have a unique understanding of the concepts of the Taoist family, and even inspire many predecessors, which is by no means comparable to ordinary juniors......
In addition to the two of them, the other three people who traveled with them were all arrogant, and their own understanding and cultivation understanding were excellent, so wherever they went, those Daomen and Taoist temples had a lot of praise for them, and this matter had already spread among the Daomen, and the major Daomen temples were naturally welcome.
In addition, the "visit process" of the various sects has also spread, and now the major forces in China are also clear, so after entering the "Nanmao Mountain" Taoist temple, they don't even need to open their mouths more, and the door is already ready.
Following the little Taoist priest all the way forward, several people soon came to the main hall, but after arranging for them to sit down and handing over the tea, the little Taoist saluted them and said that he would immediately invite the master to come and talk to them, and then hurriedly retreated.
"Hey, Lao You, you said we wouldn't all be treated like this in the future, right?" After Xiaodao left, Hong Bin couldn't help but speak, and he also felt that the travel and visit during this period of time was getting smoother and more comfortable.
"Hehe, isn't that good? It also saves a lot of trouble. You Fang responded with a smile, and then looked up.
Speaking of which, although this sect is divided into north and south, and is divided into all true one, and even subdivided into various small schools, because of the same origin of its concept, it is also the same source, so the style in this view is basically the same.
And if there is any big difference, it may be the difference between the ancestors of the major branches, and because of this, there are basically portraits of the ancestors hanging in the main hall of the Taoist temples of the various avenues, so as to indicate which door they belong to.
Therefore, You Fang's eyes quickly fell on the portrait in the main hall, and he saw that the person in this portrait was full of heaven and ruddy complexion, compared to the "fairy wind Dao bone", it was more like a doctor who helped the world and saved people in the world.
It is no wonder, after all, the reason why this "Nanmao Mountain" will be merged into the Zhengyi faction is because its ideas are the same, and the people in the door often enter the WTO, and as the ancestor of its founding school, the people in this painting will naturally be much more down-to-earth.
As for the identity of the person in this painting, it is naturally extremely loud......
Ge Hong, the word Zhichuan, self-named "Bao Puzi", known as "Little Immortal Weng", Danyang Jurong (now Jiangsu) people, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Taoist people, but also the "alchemy" of the patriarch of the figure.
He was originally born in the wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, lost his father at the age of thirteen, and his family was in the middle of the road, and he began to read the scriptures, history, and hundreds of schools of thought at the age of 16, and was famous for his Confucianism.
Speaking of which, the legendary figures in the ancient Taoist sect have experienced many extraordinary, such as the patriarch of the Trinity Gate "Mr. Sanjiao", and the patriarch of Neidanshu "Ziyang Zhenren", whose experiences are all tortuous and rich, and are inseparable from the current politics.
And this Ge Hong is no exception, his cultivation within a few years, he met Zhang Chang, Shi Bing in Yangzhou uprising, the then governor of the capital Gu secretary appointed Ge Hong as a general and lieutenant, because of his merit in breaking the stone ice, he moved it to "General Fubo".
After the uprising was quelled, Ge Hong abandoned Ge and went to Luoyang to search for different books to broaden his learning, but it happened to be the time of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and he was displaced in Xu and Henan Prefectures, suffering from war, so he was negative and cynical, and had the idea of living in the mountains and forests and taking food and nourishment.
It wasn't until more than ten years passed, after everything was calmed down, that he returned to his hometown, and he met the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, remembered his old merits, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei, and then was called to be the master of the state, transferred to Situ Peng, and moved to join the army, so that it was smooth.
It was also at that time that Ge Hong heard that Jiaozhi produced dansha, and asked to be appointed as a leak order, passing through Guangzhou on the way to the post, and Deng Yue expressed his willingness to provide his raw materials for alchemy in Luofu Mountain, so he decided to stop the trip to the post, and lived in seclusion in Luofu Mountain from then on.
Later, it built a south nunnery in front of Zhumyeongdong, practiced alchemy, wrote books and lectures, because of the scholars and the public, and built three nunnery, east, west and north, and gradually laid the foundation of "Nanmao Mountain", and also carried forward the "art of outer dan".
If you want to say that he has contributed to the "alchemy" of this sect, Ge Hong definitely has a pivotal position, and it can be said that it is his appearance that has made the "Wai Dan Technique" gradually become orthodox......
The classics such as "Jade Letter Fang", "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", "Hug Puzi" and other classics written by him sorted out the various "alchemy" that were popular at that time, and made a complete summary and refinement, which had a far-reaching impact on the development of "alchemy" in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
"Those who want to seek immortals should be based on loyalty and filial piety and shun benevolence. If virtue is not cultivated, but only the practice of magic, it will not be possible to live forever......"
"Reading all the precepts, all those who want to live forever will want to accumulate good deeds, be compassionate to things, forgive themselves and others, be benevolent to catch insects, enjoy the good fortune of others, be ashamed of people's suffering, be anxious to help others, save people's poverty, do not hurt life with their hands, do not persuade trouble with their mouths, see what others gain as their own gains, see others as their own losses, do not be self-esteem, do not praise themselves, do not envy themselves to win over themselves, do not deceive and thieves, so that they are virtuous, blessed by heaven, what they do will be done, and they can hope for immortals."
Looking at the portrait on the top of the main hall, the famous words of Ge Hong's predecessors naturally appeared in the heart of You Fang, and the "immortal health preservation is the inside, and Confucianism should be the outside", which is also the basic requirement of the practice of "Nanmao Mountain".
It can be seen from this that the strength of the indigenous Taoist sect in China is "eclectic" and "inclusive", regardless of "Buddhism" or "Confucianism", but anyone who can be used by me can take it for his own use, without worrying about the door.
Soon......
Da, da, da......
There was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall, gentle and light, but the voice was clear and seemed to be a reminder, which was enough to explain the identity and cultivation of the comer.
Sure enough, soon, an old man in a Taoist robe walked in with a smile, obviously the master of this Taoist temple, and the five people of You Fang immediately got up when they saw this and hurriedly saluted.
After a short salute, the old Taoist chief beckoned a few people to sit down, and at the same time took out a palm-sized Dan furnace from his bosom and placed it on the wooden table at hand.
And from the treasure light revealed from this Dan furnace, it can be seen that this is not an ordinary thing, but should be a magic weapon or even a magic weapon, there is no doubt that the old Taoist is prepared.
It's just that......
Just as the old Taoist pointed to this Dan furnace, ready to explain one or two to pave the way for the follow-up, he suddenly ......
Tick tick! Tick tick!
You Fang's phone rang!
You Fang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and he didn't know who would call him at this time, so he immediately apologized to the old Taoist, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to hang up the phone first, and wait for the end of the matter.
However, when he saw the name on the caller ID, he frowned, and at the same time, the thumb that was reaching for the "hang up button" also stopped, and after a second of contemplation, he pressed "connect" instead.
"Hey, Linglong, what's the matter with me?" That's right, it was Lu Linglong who called, since he was a person from "his own family" and a friend, he naturally wanted to take a look at the situation first.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he answered the phone, Lu Linglong's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hey, You Fang, come and help me!"
