Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 37. Inner Dan Practice
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Xuanmingzi Jishou. The old man replied.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the younger generation of the Shangqing Sect is the spiritual leader. Sima asked and hurriedly responded.
The old man's singing and Taoist numbers all indicate that this person is a Taoist in the ghost fairy realm who has survived the earth tribulation.
Among the second-generation monks, the cultivation is not as good as the ghost fairyland, and Sima Wenzhi has seen many. Among the three generations of monks, he is a person who has reached the ghost fairyland, and he is still seeing it for the first time, and he mistakenly calls himself a junior in a panic.
"Wrong, wrong. Shangqing Parcel Lingji. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Sima asked him and hurriedly corrected it.
"Not wrong, not wrong. Xuan Mingzi laughed in response.
"Why did the Dao Leader get here?" After laughing, Xuan Mingzi asked Sima Zhi.
"Hmm..."Sima couldn't respond when he asked, and if he asked first, the same would have been true for the question.
"My practice is blocked, so I came here to broaden my horizons. After bowing his head and thinking about it quickly, he could only answer truthfully.
"Come, stretch out your hand. Xuan Mingzi gestured.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Sima Wenzhi still stretched out his right hand. In just a few words, Xuan Mingzi was hearty and amiable, which made him unguarded.
"This time it's wrong, the man is left and the woman is right. Xuan Mingzi reminded.
Sima Wenzhi's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly changed hands.
Unlike the previous few times, Xuan Mingzi extended his aura and abandoned Da Ling, and entered from Sima Wenzhi's Taiyuan Acupoint. After running along the line of Ren and Du for a week, they arrived at the dantian and then withdrew.
"Full of energy, excessive profit and loss. When the Dao Master went from the first gate to the Daoist realm, there were many changes in the dantian, right?" After investigating, Xuan Mingzi asked.
"What the old man said is true. ”
No longer entangled in the wrong and the good, Sima Wenzhi still called Xuan Mingzi by his father-in-law. When he cultivated to the Taoist, his dantian was indeed abnormally full as he said. If it weren't for Xuanli's timely action, I don't know what the consequences would have been.
"Does my husband have a way to save him?" Knowing the crux of the problem, most of them also know the way to solve the problem, Sima Qian's heart was hot, and he suddenly felt hope.
"Do you want to be bitter before sweet, or sweet before bitter?" Xuan Mingzi did not respond positively, and asked again.
First sweet and then bitter, most of the evening is bleak. First bitter and then sweet, and then there will be many tribulations. The world is difficult, the world is precarious, and the first choice is sweet and then bitter.
"First bitter and then sweet. Without hesitation, Sima asked and replied.
"Take yourself as the furnace, and refine the essence of the body as a golden pill. Have you ever heard of the law of Neidan?"
"No, what's the use?" Xuan Mingzi said, Sima asked unheard of. He had seen cultivators refining medicinal pills with the Ding Furnace, but he had never seen Inner Dan cultivation.
"Gather your own essence and the aura of heaven and earth, turn qi into nothingness, turn void into reality, until the inner Dan is refined. After the Dancheng is completed, the higher the cultivation, the more aura can be driven in the dantian. "Neidan's method is complicated and abnormal, and Xuan Mingzi tries his best to explain it in a simple and understandable way.
"At the beginning, why was there suffering?" Xuan Mingzi said, and Sima Wenzhi understood the sweetness. In the bitter first and then the sweet, the "first bitter" does not know what it is.
"Wai Dan practice, aura gathers dantian. Gathering qi is a deficiency, using Dan to replenish qi, and directly extending it out of the body when needed. Neidan practice, after gathering qi into emptiness, turning emptiness into reality. There is a lot of spiritual energy required to refine the inner dan, and it is not surprising that he has not achieved anything in his life. Xuan Mingzi explained again that this time the center of gravity was placed in a difficult place.
"Thank you, uncle. ”
No matter what the explanation is, Sima Wenzhi's choice will not change. The path of cultivation is not only the gradual improvement of cultivation, but also the gradual broadening of knowledge. What Xuan Mingzi said, he had never heard of it, but this was the only thing, and he was very grateful in his heart.
"There's still something unclear about the kid. "The method of Neidan, the ground staff did not tell Sima to ask it, this method will not be an ordinary thing. Unusual things, Xuan Mingzi easily gave it to him, and he had to ask why.
"This method is indeed an unusual thing, and I have given it to you because of curiosity in my heart. Xuan Mingzi saw Sima Qian's thoughts, and replied without waiting for him to explain.
"The kid doesn't understand. Xuan Mingzi's reply relieved Sima Qianzhi's previous puzzlement, but added new doubts.
"Since the Qingxuan Mountain has passed down the Taoist system, for more than a thousand years, there have been very few people who have cultivated the law of Neidan. In the past 100 years, there has never been. The rest of the words Xuan Mingzi did not say again. At this point, a wise man should be able to understand.
Sima asked and understood.
What Xuan Mingzi said not only showed that it was not easy to practice Neidan, but also said that he himself had never practiced this method. The road ahead is not easy and unclear, and the saying of "suffering first" is indeed appropriate.
"It's getting late, you go back today, and then you'll do it tomorrow. As the time of Shen approached, Xuan Mingzi urged Sima Wenzhi to leave.
When feeding was approaching, Sima Wenzhi walked many mountain roads, hungry in his stomach. Hearing Xuan Mingzi's urging, Shi Li turned around and left.
"Uncle, when and where will I find you tomorrow?" After going out of the distance, Sima Wenzhi remembered that he had not made a detailed agreement with Xuan Mingzi, and then shouted from a distance.
"After the hour, it's still here. Xuan Mingzi's voice replied from afar.
After feeding, Sima Wenzhi took the initiative to go to Lingshuang's residence.
Ling Shuang's residence is in the place where the Kun Dao of the sect gathers, and the main road is not allowed to enter the residence of the Kun Dao privately, and Sima Wenzhi is blocked out of the courtyard.
After a short time, Ling Shuang walked out of the courtyard, followed by the same door. Sima Wen was anxious to verify something, and hurriedly moved forward after seeing Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang's face was slightly red, and the same door behind him gradually coaxed.
Sima asked puzzled, with doubts on his face.
Ling Shuang's face turned from reddish to helpless, and after drinking, he made a coaxing voice with the door, and left quickly with Sima Wenzhi.
Sima asked for confirmation that he asked if there was a person in the sect whose Dao name was Xuanmingzi. Exploring the details behind the scenes is not a matter of fairness, let alone a gentleman's doing. But this matter is extremely important to him, and whether it is a gentleman or not is an irrelevant matter.
Ling Shuang had never heard of this person, not in the Shangqing lineage, nor in the two sects of Yuqing and Taiqing. I have not heard of things, so it is inconvenient to draw conclusions.
After the ten thousand demons surrounded the mountain, many disciples in the three sects of Qingxuan could not go out of retreat and did not walk in the sect. There are occasional gains in retreat, and it is not impossible to make a breakthrough in cultivation.
To no avail, Sima Wenzhi immediately said goodbye to Ling Shuang and turned to leave. Looking at his departing figure, the helplessness on Ling Shuang's face became even stronger.
Sima Wenzhi left in a hurry because of General Gao.
In recent days, he has nearly recovered from his injuries. When you are injured, others will not say anything. However, General Gao's residence is quite close to the place where the miscellaneous servants live, and if he does not work after recovery, even if Tianchengzi says "non-vain and non-service", he will be criticized to some extent.
When he got there, he went into the house for a long talk, and when he left, General Gao sent Sima Wenzhi outside his residence.
"Gao Bo went back, the wind was cold at night, take care of your body. "Qingxuan Mountain is as warm as spring, not cold. When he said this, he meant to speak to other people.
Sure enough, not long after Sima Wenzhi left, someone went to General Gao's residence to take the initiative to cling.
