Chapter Seventy-Two: Wu Xian's Sermon
Zhang Xuanchu said: "I see, I don't know what spells the great wizard has learned on the mountain, and what kind of magic thaumaturgy has been obtained." Wu Xian said: "I have been practicing a strange book on the mountain, which is a book made of sheepskin, and I am learning this academic, the name is Zhu Youshu, which is the time of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and there is an official of Zhu You who passed it to Xiao Wu. According to the "Neijing" compiled by the Yellow Emperor, it seems to be ancient. There are two sentences in the article "Su Wen", which are called 'In the past, the evil cannot go deep, so you can move the essence and wish it.' In this world, I wish you no choice. It can be seen that before the Yellow Emperor, there was this spell for a long time, and it was not invented in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and the Zhu Youguan who taught Xiao Wu, but he studied the book and collected it, and got the name of the official. ”
Zhang Xuanchu said: "Since there was this spell in ancient times, why did it be lost, except for your master and apprentice, no one knows about it?" Wu Xian said: "This method has not been lost, and there are still many works of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan left in the world." However, at that time, the people were able to communicate with the ghosts and gods, so their spells could be used all over the world, and the spell treatment was very effective and quite effective. Since Emperor Zhuan called Nanzheng Chongsi Tian to belong to the gods, and Beizheng Li Si to belong to the people, cutting off the communication between heaven and earth, this academic has gradually become less famous, and it is not very effective, unless the cultivators also open the eyes of heaven and can communicate with the immortals, there is still a lot to be done. ”
Zhang Xuanchu said: "People and ghosts communicate with each other, and is this spell easy to learn?" Wu Xian said: "Speaking of easy, it is not easy, speaking of difficulty, it is not difficult, all practice must start from meditation, meditate to enter the meditation energy to pass through the body and spirits, and finally open the body to connect with all the gods." There was an old saying: 'The people of the ancients did not carry the second one, but they were able to fast, and their knowledge could compare righteousness with righteousness, their holy energy could be far-reaching, their light could illuminate them, their hearing could hear them thoroughly, and if so, the gods descended to them.' ’
According to these few sentences, the nine words 'Jingshuang does not carry the hair to fast, Su Zhongzheng' are really the first step of cultivation. The other four items of knowledge, sage, enlightenment, and wisdom must be determined by his talent and academic ability, and his cultivation cannot be forced. ”
At this moment, he saw his apprentice point to the iron nail on the ground, and the nail flew out and nailed it to the stump of wood in the distance, nailing a poisonous insect there. Although everyone knows this, but it is all immortal methods, especially Zhang Xuanchu's immortal flying knife, when he saw that person's method, he asked curiously: "Your senior disciple just now, when you pointed at that iron nail with your hand, the nail will naturally fly out, is this really a ghost and god there to help, or is there another reason?"
Wu Xian said: "This method, the name is forbidden qi, it is purely the effect of qi, and there is no help from ghosts and gods at all. ”
Zhang Xuanchu was very surprised when he heard it, this qigong was very popular in later generations, and the wizards of this era actually started from quietness and practiced qi for use, it seems that qigong started from this time, and this method is cultivation. If you have a heart, you must understand it well, otherwise it can't come in vain, so I asked, "How can the effect of qi be like this?
Wu Xian said: "Qi, we say it is the Tao, the saying of the Tao. In heaven and earth, there are only three kinds of things: water, land, and air, and these three things are all inherent in heaven and earth, and they are all inherent in all things. Water and land are heavy and underneath, and human eyes can see, so it is called the quality of turbidity, and the use of water and land are both called the shape and the bottom of the science. And the atmosphere is frivolous and upward, and the human eye cannot see it, so it is called to use the atmosphere, which is called qi shape but superior learning.
But although the atmosphere is invisible, there is such a substance, and in a big sense, it is the wind, and when the wind blows, it can break big trees, and destroy big houses, and all kinds of things will be blown and fluttered, and if there is not such a substance, where can it move all things? But its kind of substance is extremely fine and very fine, and it can get into it and hide in it wherever it is, so there is air in the water. There is also gas in the land. There is also qi in the human body, there is also qi in animals, there is also qi in plants and trees, in short, whether it is soft, hard, dredged, or sealed, all of them contain the atmosphere in it.
Since everything has an atmosphere contained in it, then we use the atmosphere outside to guide the atmosphere inside the substance, so that the nail head or arrow will naturally come out, which is a method of using gas. As for how to use this atmosphere, it is not a difficult way to say it, not only humans can do it, but also animals can do it.
For example, there is a kind of brook bird, it is also called a woodpecker, it is a tiny animal, its nest is in the hole of the tree, if you use a stick to plug its hole in the tree, it will use its beak to scribble on the ground left and right, like a drawing, and after a short time, the stick will naturally pull out by itself.
If they encounter a snake and hide under a big stone or a big wooden tree, and when they can't eat it, they will use a method to step up with their feet according to the rules, and the big stone will naturally have to be turned over, or the big wooden tree will naturally have to fall, and they can eat it.
In both cases, animals can do this, let alone humans! Human beings are the spirit of all things, according to my humble opinion, there were probably no people in the past who did not know this spell, but people's wisdom and ability are too developed, just like a wooden stick plugged in the hole, just need to pull it out with your hand, you can naturally pull it out, you don't need to draw a talisman on the ground; a big stone presses, a big tree blocks, only one person with a hand, or several people to carry, it can naturally be turned over or dumped, straight and fast, why draw talismans and steps, do such a troublesome trouble? For example, if this spell of a person is not used, it will be naturally destroyed over time, and it will naturally be lost. Now it seems that people are inferior to animals.
Not only is it not as good as animals, but it is necessary to learn the skills of animals. Just like the method of pulling nails and nails just now, there are other methods, which are learned from the drawing talismans of woodpeckers, storks and plovers, and the steps can be said to be called stepping gangs or step fights. ”
Everyone heard it refreshingly, others don't know who else has heard it, today we are fortunate to be able to hear, it is also a great benefit, this is learning the Tao, this is practicing qi, and it is also the original method of practicing qi and knowing qi since ancient times, which is more accessible and natural than the research of later people.
The panda asked even more curiously: "How to learn this spell?" Wu Xian said: "Learn the woodpecker's method of drawing talismans, spread the ash under the tree, and then plug the mouth of its cave with a wooden stick, the woodpecker will use its beak to draw talismans on the ground, where it has been drawn, there must be handwriting on the ash, then there is a model to find, and it can be drawn, this is the origin of the talisman, and the method of drawing talismans is the power to find from nature, scribbling and useless."
As for learning the method of stepping on the gang, when the stork is raising the bird, he goes up to the tree and holds its nest with a rope, and when the stork sees it, he must go to the ground to do the stepping, to liberate the rope, and spread the fine sand on the ground in advance, and imprint its footprints on it, and then it can be imitated. ”
When everyone heard this, they all said that it was strange why they could stir up the atmosphere. As for where woodpeckers, storks, and plovers learned this method, it is really an instinct of nature, just like people eat when they are hungry, drink water when they are thirsty, and so on.
In later generations, the most heard were witches, witches, etc., and I heard that there were few great wizards, Zhang Xuanchu asked again: "It is said that people who can use this kind of spell are called witches, and women are called witches." Now the great wizard, you are obviously a man, why are you also called a witch? I really don't understand. ”
Wu Xian said: "The word witch is an ordinary name, so a man can also be called a witch." But women can't be called women, because men are malevolent, while women can't be feminine. ”
Zhang Xuanchu nodded, expressed understanding, and asked again: "Master, you are climbing Bao Mountain, don't you know how the scenery over there is to climb Bao Mountain?" Wu Xian said: "Although the scenery over there is not as good as that of Fengfu Yumen Mountain, it is also very good, and there are also a lot of elixirs, which can be taken for cultivation." However, there is a disadvantage, that is, there are many snakes in that place, and ordinary people dare not go there. The little witch has spells that can subdue snakes, so he is not afraid of snakes. When there is nothing to do, he always plays with snakes, with a green snake in his left hand and a red snake in his right hand, and many disciples also learn from Xiao Wu's appearance, and they also do the same, so many people call the place where Xiao Wu lives as Wu Xianguo because Xiao Wu's form and clothing style are different from others. ”
Everyone felt that the great wizard was very remarkable, and the empty wizard had not asked questions for a long time, but at this time he finally had a question to ask, so he asked: "Master, how many disciples do you have?" Wu Xian said: "There are ten disciples in total, and now they have just dispersed to various states, focusing on saving people and benefiting the world, and doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. Xiao Wu often went to various states to inspect their cultivation merits and assist them in their uncultivated kung fu. Not long after I came back this time, I was going to Jizhou again, and I didn't have much time. ”
Zhang Xuanchu said: "It seems that it is really time for us to come, I want to ask the master, when I came, I saw the colorful light on the Lingshan Mountain, there must be immortals there, I don't know which immortal family is there?" Wu Xian said: " You said that the little witch really doesn't know, although I often go to Lingshan to enter the Heavenly Palace, but I have never seen a fairy, today you say that there is a fairy family on Lingshan, then I will lead the way for everyone, one to visit the scenery of Lingshan, looking for medicinal materials, and second, to see which fairy family is here, I also know each other, just come home and don't know it, let's go!"
