Chapter 53: Dao, Magic, and Magic
Time flies, and it flies in a blink of an eye.
It has been more than a month since I got the "Song of Breaking the Mystery and the Right Way".
During this period, Chen Yun was "under house arrest" in the Red House in the inner courtyard and barely came out, and he was studying the method of immortality every day.
What made him feel puzzling was that since Zhong Liquan granted him the "Song of Breaking the Mystery and the Right Way", he had not given him any guidance on his practice, but he still found many Taoist scriptures for him to study every day.
In addition, Zhong Liquan is not without guidance.
It's just that the guidance is almost all about "medical skills".
For example, the structure of the human body on the macro level, the meridians and points on the micro level, and so on.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Yun has obtained "Song of Breaking the Mystery of the Right Path", and he has not refined any true qi.
In other words, he has never peeked into the door of how to cultivate the "Song of Breaking the Mystery and the Right Path".
It's not that there is no record of cultivation in the "Song of Breaking the Mystery of the Right Path".
For example, "if you say that this is the way of the gods, the heaven and the earth are void above and below" refers to: the Tao is based on the clear void, only the Tao gathers the void, and the void is also of great use.
Another example is "saying that there is no interval between broken wood and gold, how can real lead and real mercury be tangible" said: gold and wood are acquired, then they are mutually restrained, and in the innate theory, they are needed. The innate is formless and formless, and cannot seek each other with form. The same is true for lead and mercury, the so-called invisible is not available, and the use is invisible. It's not true, it's all a strong name.
However, these are "truths", not "methods".
"There is only reason, there is no method, how can I refine and refine qi?"
That afternoon, Chen Yun was immersed in thinking about how to refine and refine qi.
Suddenly, Zhong Liquan walked down from the third floor, and before Chen Yun could give a salute, he said slowly: "Chongyong, go out for a day or two for the teacher, you must not slack off in your practice." ”
With that, he swooped away.
Chen Yun didn't even have time to reply with the word "good", so he could only watch his mentor Xiangyun rise and leave.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, less than a quarter of an hour after Zhong Liquan left, the conversation between Uncle Zheng Wen and He Xiangu came from outside the house.
"Uncle Wen has seen the real person of the fairy girl."
"Uncle Zheng doesn't have to be polite, the ancestor is here?"
"The teacher has been instructing Senior Brother Chen to practice for the past month or two, so he should be there."
Hearing the sound, Chen Yun looked through the window.
I saw He Xiangu wearing a pink coat and an emerald green smoke yarn loose flower skirt, talking to Uncle Zheng Wen with a dignified face.
Afterwards, Chen Yun saw the fairy girl bending her waist and slowly walking towards the Red Mansion with slight steps.
A moment later, He Xiangu entered the door.
She first looked around, and then asked towards the inner room, "Uncle Chen, where is the ancestor?" ”
Chen Yun put down the "Nanhua Sutra", got up and saluted: "I have seen the fairy Gu Zhenren, and the teacher said that he had something to do and went out for two days, but did not specify where he went. ”
"Hmph, it must be hiding from me."
Different from the dignified atmosphere facing Uncle Zheng Wen just now, He Xiangu at this time showed the posture of a little daughter.
Chen Yun didn't know how to answer, so he simply smiled and didn't say anything.
How do you know that He Xiangu walked straight over, unceremoniously sat down at the other end of the bench where Chen Yun was sitting, and took the initiative to reach out and turn over the Taoist scriptures, "The ancestor has not passed on the longevity technique?" How do I see that you have no true Qi circulation. ”
Because He Xiangu was sitting closer, Chen Yun could smell the faint fragrance of the lotus flower in his hand.
As the saying goes, men and women don't kiss, even if the other party is a Daoist Immortal Gu, Chen Yun still took a step back with great interest, and said sincerely: "Back to the Immortal Gu, the teacher has passed on my Dafa, but my understanding is mediocre, and I haven't understood the way yet." ”
He Xiangu looked at him slightly, and said with a puzzled voice: "Even if you pass on the longevity technique, no matter how dull your talent is, you can't refine the True Qi for a month or two...... Oh, I see. ”
Concerning his own cultivation, Chen Yun's curiosity was aroused, and he asked, "Dare to ask Immortal Gu, what do you mean by what you say?" ”
He Xiangu was like a little woman with one hand on her tender jaw.
Not only did she not answer the question, but on the contrary, she also took the initiative to ask: "The ancestor must have passed on to you such a wonderful trick as "Song of the Righteous Way to Break Confusion", right?" ”
Concerning the secret method of immortality of the sect, Chen Yun didn't know how to answer for a while.
Although He Xiangu is the grandson of Zhong Liquan's disciple, he has already established himself as an immortal, and he has to be regarded as an "outsider", how could Chen Yun face an "outsider" who leaked the secret method of immortality in this sect?
Who knew that He Xiangu didn't care about herself at all, "I have heard my teacher talk about it, and his words "Song of Breaking the Mystery and Righteous Path" are not the true meaning of immortality. ”
Well?
What does this mean?
Chen Yun asked a little puzzled: "Immortal Gu, what do you mean by this?" ”
He Xiangu pointed to the stool, "Don't stand there like a piece of wood, sit down, I'll talk to you carefully." ”
Chen Yun sat down at this time, and looked at He Xiangu with a serious face, "I beg Xiangu for advice." ”
He Xiangu casually flipped through the "Nanhua True Scripture" and said: "The Song of the Righteous Way of Breaking the Mystery is a 'law', not a 'technique'. ”
Chen Yun still didn't understand too much, "What is the difference between magic and magic?" ”
"Dao, Dharma, and Technique are the three cores of my Dao Gate." He Xiangu said in a non-hurried tone: "Tao is the highest level, it is the understanding and grasp of the nature and laws of things, the Tao is indescribable, what is the Tao?" Satoru! When you realize the path to eternal life, which is the fruit of the path that you have attained personally, it is called enlightenment. ”
Chen Yun pricked up his ears and listened.
"The Dharma is derived from the Tao." He Xiangu pointed to the peach tree outside the window, "If the Tao is a peach tree, the law is the fruit of the peach tree, and the law is the understanding of people from the Tao, which can be taught to others, but the law is the comprehension of others, and may not be applicable to another person. ”
Chen Yun vaguely understood.
He Xiangu continued, "Technique, Xiaodao also, it is derived from the law, although it has diversity, but generally speaking, there are traces to follow, some people who are not talented enough to practice can only copy the hard set of cultivation methods, that Wang Laozhi, Zheng Wenshu and others, with the small path of cultivation, and the ancestor taught you the "Song of the Righteous Way to Break the Confusion" is the Jindan Dafa, you need to realize the 'art' cultivation by yourself, and then gradually comprehend the 'law' that suits you, and finally find the fruit of Taoism and immortality. ”
Speaking of this, she asked very seriously, "Can you understand?" ”
At this time, the distance between the two was particularly close, He Xiangu lightly swept E's eyebrows and eyes with spring, the cherry mouth was red without dotting, delicate and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style to Chen Yun's eyes.
There is also a burst of strange fragrance.
He Xiangu was originally a woman with abnormal beauty and outstanding beauty.
If ordinary people look at them so closely, they will definitely be fascinated.
Chen Yun didn't pay attention to his beauty at all, and the whole person was immersed in He Xiangu's guidance just now.
He finally understood why he had obtained the "Song of Breaking the Confusion and the Right Path" for a long time, but he had never been able to cultivate.
If, according to He Xiangu, "The Song of Breaking the Mystery and the Right Way" is a theory, then if you want to refine and refine the qi, you have to "develop" the application suitable for yourself from the theory, and then with the help of the application that is suitable for you, you can deduce a new theory and develop a new "field", which is the so-called becoming an immortal.
As for why Zhong Liquan taught himself "theory" instead of directly giving "application", it is actually very understandable.
"Apps" may not be right for you.
If you practice for a lifetime, you may not be able to become an immortal.
And comprehending and developing "application" from "theory" is the most suitable cultivation technique.
It's best to be right for you.
After figuring it out, Chen Yun hurriedly stood up and saluted and thanked: "Thank you Immortal Gu for your guidance, you have benefited a lot from the guidance." ”
He Xiangu blinked and smiled: "In that case, how can you thank me?" ”
Chen Yun sweated for a moment, and said helplessly: "Immortal Gu, you are a true person, I really don't want to ...... Eh, wait, I may have something that you like. ”
Originally, He Xiangu was just joking, as soon as she became an immortal, how could she ask Chen Yun for any "benefits" from mortals.
As a result, I never thought that Chen Yun really wanted to be grateful.
He Xiangu became interested, "Oh, what? ”
Chen Yun didn't explain immediately, but made a request: "Immortal Gu, I know that you have vast magical powers and boundless mana, so I want to ask you to make me a gadget first, and then I will present you with a thank you." ”
He Xiangu was aroused with curiosity, "What to make?" ”
Chen Yun described the structure of the "bayonet nozzle", and then said that he needed a corresponding "crystal bottle".
In order to depict it more accurately, he also specially brought paper and pen to draw a specific image of the bottle.
He Xiangu immediately understood after hearing this, "In this way, it is also simple." ”
She stretched out her hand, and after a while, a large piece of crystal flew in through the window.
Immediately, He Xiangu spewed out "clear air" from her mouth, and the crystal immediately turned into the shape of a small square bottle.
As for the bayonet nozzle, which originally needed to be made of plastic, there was no plastic in this world for the time being, so Chen Yun thought that he could use brass, so he asked Xian Gu to refine it from brass.
Although the bayonet nozzle is very precise, how cultivated He Xiangu is, she finished it with an understatement.
After the production was completed, He Xiangu looked puzzled and said, "Why are you asking me to make these things?" ”
Chen Yun picked up the crystal bottle and tested the tightness of the bayonet nozzle, and found that it was like a natural thing, so he said mysteriously: "You will know if you come with me." ”
With that, he walked outside.
He Xiangu followed behind suspiciously.
……
After a short time, the two came to the squatter where the long-term workers lived.
Chen Yun took out the key to the original house.
Open it, push the door in.
He pulled out a sealed jar from under the bed and lifted the lid open.
Suddenly, a fragrance permeated.
He Xiangu sniffed her nose and said involuntarily: "It's so fragrant, it's much more fragrant than the rose dew that Emperor Tang gave me before." ”
"This is my perfume." Chen Yun explained casually.
Because perfume needs to settle after making, it is not suitable to be placed in the dark compartment of the wall of a small copper furnace.
Recently, there was no shortage of money, and he almost forgot it when he moved, and today He Xiangu asked for benefits before he recalled.
He Xiangu was curious: "Perfume? ”
Chen Yun roughly explained the specific role of perfume.
He Xiangu was amazed when she heard this, "You are so smart, you can develop such fragrant water, wonderful." ”
During this period, Chen Yun poured most of the crystal bottle perfume into it, and then resealed the jar.
Chen Yun handed the crystal bottle back and said: "Immortal Gu, I know that after the immortal family attains the Tao, there is a burst of strange fragrance, but I really have nothing else to thank but offer a bottle of perfume to show it." ”
He thought that why the fairy Gu would not like it, after all, the immortal has its own fragrance.
Who knew that He Xiangu took the bottle of perfume and looked happy, and tried to spray perfume on the veins of the left and right wrists, the back of both ears, and the back of the neck according to the method that Chen Yun just said.
He Xiangu sniffed lightly twice, then bent her eyebrows and smiled: "I'll come back to you when I'm done in the future." ”
Chen Yun asked a little puzzled: "Immortal Gu, don't you and other immortals have their own strange fragrance?" Why do you still love perfume so much? ”
He Xiangu's youngest daughter snorted lightly: "That kind of strange fragrance doesn't smell good, I often take the initiative to restrain it, and deliberately hold lotus flowers to cover it." ”
Chen Yun sweated.
Only then did he understand that after the woman became an immortal, she still liked rouge gouache.
It's normal to think about it carefully, after all, immortals are cultivated by people, and naturally they still have seven emotions and six desires, and it is natural to like rouge gouache.
"Well, since the ancestor is not here, I will go back first." He Xiangu said that with a flick of her palm, the perfume disappeared at once, and she turned her head sideways and repeated, "I'll come back to you when I'm done." ”
With that, her figure dissipated and disappeared into a little starlight.
Khan, this is treating me as a perfume supplier.
Chen Yun was quite speechless.
But then again, he really "likes" He Xiangu.
On the one hand, this liking is that the other party is so beautiful, and it is normal for men to like to get along with beautiful women.
On the other hand, Chen Yun felt that He Xiangu was not a selfish person, and he could learn a lot of valuable knowledge from him by getting along with him, such as breaking spells and techniques today.
Saying that the starting point breaking method is different from the technique, Chen Yun was full of enthusiasm for a while, hoping to realize the immortal technique suitable for his cultivation as soon as possible.
