Chapter XVII

Zhuang Bai's teaching benefited Hu Yan a lot and learned a lot. It gave him a little more understanding of cultivation.

It's just that he knows that this talisman is not an ordinary Dao method, and it is not so simple to learn it.

"Brother Zhuang, is this talisman easy to draw?"

Zhuang Bai saw that Hu Yan was humble and studious, so he said: "There are many taboos when drawing talismans, drawing talismans and reciting mantras is not something that ordinary Taoist priests can do, it must come from the hands of formally trained high Taoists, so it can be considered to be a magical talisman. At the same time, Taoist priests are required to strictly abide by the procedures for drawing symbols, and draw them according to various drawing methods and requirements to have an effect. Generally speaking, there are ten precepts and eight taboos, which are moral requirements for the person who draws the talisman, and must be observed, otherwise the talisman is also invalid. ”

"That's it!" Zhuang Bai's words dispelled Hu Yan's idea of following Zhuang Bai to practice talismans.

Zhuang Bai seemed to see through Hu Yan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hu Yan, your skills are still shallow now, you don't need to be in a hurry, and the Qingyuan Palace Dao method is magical, and the Golden Light Divine Mantra is even more supreme, you wait for you to practice the Golden Light Divine Mantra, I'm afraid you won't be able to look down on my Maoshan Talisman Technique at that time." ”

Hu Yan smiled and said, "Brother Zhuang said that he was joking, but I am afraid that my qualifications are dull and I will not be able to learn the Golden Light Divine Mantra." "Hu Yan has seen the golden light spell used by the master, it can really be described as an invincible magic spell to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Zhuang Bai smiled and said: "Why bother to be self-indulgent, I don't think you are like that mediocre person, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky one day." ”

Hu Yan only regarded him as a compliment to himself, but he didn't take it to heart. Just smiled politely.

As he was walking, there was a sudden noise in front of him, and a group of ragged mountain people rolled out of the woods in a panic.

"Youkai, there are youkai ......"

Hu Yan hurriedly grabbed a man who ran past and said, "Big brother, what's going on?"

The man glanced at the forest with a frightened face, and said tremblingly: "Inside, there are monsters in the woods." Run, run......" After speaking, the strength that came out of nowhere, broke free from Hu Yan and grabbed his arms, and ran away as if he was flying.

Hu Yan was slightly stunned and looked at Zhuang Bai next to him. But seeing Zhuang Bai's face was a little solemn, he said: "There is a demonic ......"

"What should I do?" Just when Hu Yan was a little hesitant, Jin Ning'er, who didn't think it was a big deal, ran towards the woods with Wu Qiu.

Zhuang Bai was suddenly shocked and hurriedly chased after him: "Ning'er, I don't ask you to be careful." ”

As soon as he stepped into the dense woods, Hu Yan felt a gust of fishy wind coming over his face. In the distance, the roar of a wild beast seemed to be heard.

Zhuang Bai frowned, raised his eyes to look around, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "What a heavy demonic energy, it seems that this monster is not simple." Be careful, everyone. As he spoke, he drew his sword from the scabbard that was resting on his back.

Hu Yan nodded, picked up a branch from the ground and guarded it in front of him, and waited for it.

Jin Ning'er didn't know where to find a short sword that was full of light, and Wu Qiu also took out his dark strange weapon.

It is also very peculiar to say that the weapon is not required, it is a weapon that Hu Yan has never seen, about one meter long, the whole body is dark, the shape is like a ring ruler but there is no scale, the seal is engraved with runes that Hu Yan does not understand, and the place in his hand is a swallowing lion holding a sword. It gives a sense of heaviness and majesty.

Seeing that everyone had their own weapons, Hu Yan looked at the wooden stick in his hand again, and smiled helplessly. But this is also something that can't be helped, whoever lets him get started is the latest, and the master can't afford to be seriously injured before he has time to teach him exercises and magic weapons. Looking at the shining sword magic weapon in everyone's hands, this also made Hu Yan firm in the idea that he must find a magic weapon that suits him and is more powerful in the future. After all, there is no powerful magic weapon around the body, and it seems too cold.

Seeing Hu Yan looking at the wooden stick in his hand with a depressed face, he grinned and said, "Senior brother, don't be discouraged, you have obtained the two most important of the five elements in this Dharma Couple's wealth and land weapon, as for this weapon, isn't it a matter of time?"

Hu Yan had heard the master talk about the five elements of cultivation before, that is, the Dharma Companion's wealth and land tools.

The Dharma is the Dharma of cultivation, also known as the Dan Dharma.

Due to the different cultivation methods, it is generally divided into two aspects: inner pill and outer pill. Outer Danshu is the earliest form of existence of Dan Method, and the cultivators before the Tang Dynasty mostly practiced Outer Dan Technique, cultivating Outer Dan in the Ming Dynasty, and refining Inner Dan in concealment. After the Tang and Song dynasties, the world was afraid of the difficulties of the outer Danshu, so they turned to the cultivation of the inner Danshu, and the outer Danshu was gradually not valued by the cultivators, so there were fewer and fewer people engaged in the outer Danshu. To this day, only the name of Wai Dan is heard, but few people know the purpose of Wai Dan.

Later generations divided the inner and outer Dan methods into three different categories, namely the Tianyuan Divine Pill, the Diyuan Spiritual Pill, and the Renyuan Jindan. The earliest Tian Yuan Divine Pill and Earth Yuan Spirit Pill both refer to the Outer Dan technique. Tianyuan Divine Pill, people can be subdued and stand on the immortal level, and even say that "chickens and dogs obey it, and they can soar immediately". This method has been very rare since Zhang Sanfeng in the Ming Dynasty. The Earth Yuan Spiritual Pill is divided into two types: the Yellow and White Alchemy and those who can both point gold and further connect to the Tian Yuan Divine Pill. The latter may be on the verge of being lost today. Renyuan Jindan, that is, the Inner Dan technique, is a cultivation method that cultivators follow today.

Although the Renyuan Golden Pill is the most difficult of the Three Yuan Golden Pills to cultivate, it is also the most capable of cultivating positive results. It is necessary to have a solid foundation, step by step, and when you have obtained the supreme cultivation method, you will be able to break through the bamboo.

As long as he is not arrogant or impatient, calm, steady and steady, and continues to practice step by step, he will naturally benefit a lot.

The couples in the five elements refer to the Taoist companions or like-minded Taoist friends at the time of cultivation. It is not a tripod in the double cultivation of yin and yang, so there is no distinction between men and women.

Since the cultivator works hard in the human room, he cannot do everything by himself, so he needs one or two Taoist friends to engage in miscellaneous work and take care of it on behalf of the cultivator; on the other hand, in addition to the cultivator himself to consult the classics, it is still necessary for three or five Taoist friends to study and discuss together, so as not to miss things.

To put it simply, if you are accompanied by another Taoist companion in this practice, you will have no worries.

The ancients said: "No wealth is not enough to support the Tao". It is the essence of the cultivation of the five elements of "wealth".

"Wealth" has two meanings: internal wealth and external wealth: external wealth refers to all expenses needed to cultivate immortals, and internal wealth refers to the capital possessed by immortal cultivators themselves.

The funds needed for cultivating immortals generally have several functions: first, because the cultivators officially enter the house to work, they can no longer dissipate too much energy in social affairs, and they must first arrange their families well, so that their family members can rely on their own food and clothing, so that they can feel at ease in their own cultivation career; second, when they are formally cultivating, they cannot engage in profit-seeking things, and all their living expenses must be prepared in advance, so as not to linger on food and daily life; third, they must also prepare a certain amount of resources for traveling to the Tao, because after living in one place for a long time, they will be bored, so they need to change the environment to broaden their minds, and they can visit Taoist friends to verify their gains; and fourthIt is still necessary to prepare the living expenses of three or five Taoist friends, so that they can concentrate on their efforts, and other affairs can be handled by Taoist friends.

Gu Yun: "If you haven't heard the Tao, the victims are in the Fa, and if you have heard the Tao, the victims are in the wealth." ”

The above is only the ideal thing of an immortal cultivator, and it is not easy to say whether it can be as he wishes. Therefore, financial planners should take open source as the first meaning and throttling as the second meaning. It is better to be able to open up both sources and reduce expenditures; it is okay to be able to open sources but not to reduce expenditures; it is not harmful to be able to open sources but not to reduce expenditures; although it can be profitable, it is quite a small matter; it is not possible to open sources and reduce expenditures, so we can only sit back and wait for death. The news is full and empty, and it can be studied. It can be seen from this that even if there is a certain amount of funds, even if they are large, they will also have the trouble of sitting on the mountain, and it is better to have a living source, although it is small, but it is not necessary to worry about it. It is also necessary to know how to use sparingly and sparingly, and try to avoid unnecessary waste. This refers to the words of foreign wealth. It is precisely for this reason that the major schools of cultivation will set up Taoist temples to support the cultivation of the inner gate with the wealth obtained from the outer gate. This is also the reason why Qingyuan Palace is divided into inner monks and outer Taoist monks.

The inner wealth refers to the capital possessed by the immortal cultivator himself. First of all, cultivating immortals must have a healthy body. The primary task of the immortal family is to maintain health and wellness, and only when there are no diseases in the body can we talk about the way of rebirth and prolongation. Therefore, a good body is a necessary condition for cultivating immortals.

Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, if he does not have the ability to give birth to an immortal child, he will never have the hope of having a fairy child. The reason for being a human being and becoming an immortal is the same, but it is only in the distinction between obedience and disobedience. Those who slay the red dragon are retrograde creation. If there is no vitality for creation in one's body, and one mistakenly thinks that one can become an immortal by cutting off menstruation, then a woman who has passed the age of fifty will have a natural state of menstruation. If there is no such vitality, he must use the method to return this vitality, otherwise he has to ask for the future after his death. Scholars should pay attention to this.

It is also believed that the rich man is the capital for the purchase of tripod vessels, which is not the original meaning of "wealth". Cultivating immortals and learning the Tao is the cause of great heroes, and it is not just something that can be achieved by relying on foreign wealth. There are those who only focus on foreign capital and neglect domestic money, and there is little chance of success.

The ground refers to the place of cultivation. Those who use the five elements to talk about the word "earth" are not the five elements in the general sense. The so-called five elements in the mountains, its wood, refers to the trees, there are more trees in the mountains, especially more trees, so that the air is fresh and beneficial to the body. The golden one is said to live and grow, so that the water from the ground can be fumigated up the mountain range, and then flow down for people to drink. The water man refers to the four seasons to have a long-flowing spring. The one who is on fire means that he can see the rising sun when he wakes up in the morning. The soil means that the land must be fertile and nutritious, and crops can grow when the seeds are dropped. Water and soil are mainly for survival, and wood fire gold mainly refers to the environment. A place to practice with all the five elements is an excellent place to practice.
