Chapter 10: The Origins of Humane Practice

"I've seen Mr. Qiu Sheng. ”

Several people from the Ji clan all saluted to Qiu Sheng, extremely respectful.

Before Ji Kang's death, he once told them about the plan with Qiu Sheng. During the funeral, they also met Qiu Sheng a few times.

Qiu Sheng once asked the Ji clan to observe the heirlooms of their clan, and Ji Yan also agreed.

Therefore, for most of the funeral, Qiu Sheng was here to observe this treasure.

This is a half-person-high altar, composed of blue, red, yellow, white, and black, solemn and gorgeous.

"This is the ancestor Houji, spreading the method of farming in the world, when he was old, a mysterious goddess gave the community platform. According to what the goddess said to her ancestors, there is a method of immortality hidden in this shrine. Because the ancestors have made great contributions to all people, they give it to each other. ”

"However, since the ancestors and until now, no one has ever comprehended the method of immortality from this five-color society, and they all think it is false. Before my father died, he said that he would hand over this platform to you, and I hope you can gain something from it. ”

Ji Taibo touched this altar, and sighed inexplicably in his heart. When he was young, he also held this altar for a while, but in the end he found nothing, so he returned it to the temple.

Not only him, but Ji Zhongyong, Ji Jili and even Ji Chang's brothers of their generation have also participated in this five-color altar, and no one has figured out a clue.

"Mr. Qiu Sheng, you are already an immortal, I don't know what you will gain from this altar?"

Qiu Sheng listened to Ji Taibo's question, stroked his beard with one arm and smiled: "What about immortality, with my current realm, it is only a few hundred years more than ordinary people." ”

When Ji Kao heard this, his eyes suddenly moved, and he looked at this one-armed qi refiner.

You must know that ordinary people at this time often have hundreds of longevity. The father-in-law of the Ji family, who had just passed away, lived to be one hundred and twenty or thirty years old.

In later generations, in the name of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, he wrote a book "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", which has such a sentence: "The ancient people were 100 years old in spring and autumn, and their bodies were not decaying." ”

The complaint seems to be earlier, but in today's era, there are many similarities.

However, what is said here refers to a prince like Ji Yan, who is good at maintaining health and often associates with people who refine qi in witches. It is difficult for ordinary people and slaves to have such a long life when they are lazy in labor.

"Sir is humble. Ji Taibo and they hurriedly said.

"Hey, you don't understand our way, and you don't understand what you say. This five-color shrine is a cultivation instrument, and it seems to contain some of the origin of heaven and earth that I can't understand. If there is a practitioner who refines it, he may be able to obtain the essence of it. ”

"But this thing is the heirloom of your Ji family, I am already a great luck to understand it, and the matter of refining should be handed over to your juniors. ”

Qiu Sheng came from among the Qi Refiners, a great supernatural master, and he did not lack magic weapons, so he naturally would not do tricks to take advantage of them. Not to mention, he and the late Ji Ji are still close friends.

Ji Chang listened to Qiu Sheng's words, and suddenly his heart moved, took out a piece of animal skin from his arms, and said to Qiu Sheng: "Sir, this is the method of refining qi that I have obtained from Rong Di, and it has been several years. I've studied this method, and I don't think it's hard to understand, but for some reason, I always can't get in. Ji Chang is cheeky and wants to ask Mr. to explain his doubts. ”

Qiu Sheng smiled slightly and took the animal skin handed over by Ji Chang. Randomly stunned, sink into the heart, and carefully taste the animal skin.

This animal skin is actually very simple, that is, three human figures are on it, which are three postures of sitting, lying and walking.

On each posture, there is a corresponding description of the breath, and the annotations are very detailed.

Of course, Ji Kao also glanced at the animal skin, but he only felt that he was negligent in his heart.

He also understands very well that in today's world, the text is mainly recorded in bronze, and even many times, it is still on the tortoiseshell animal bones, and the bamboo slips have just begun to be used.

It is already rare to be able to use a piece of animal skin to record the picture and text without being erased for a long time.

"It's such an ancient method of refining qi and feeling mysteries, well, there are also strange annotations. ”

Qiu Sheng suddenly sighed and handed the animal skin back to Ji Chang, with a smile on his face.

"Please sir. ”

Qiu Sheng looked at the five members of the Ji family, all staring at him, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he smiled and said, "Do you know the origin of our Qi Refiner lineage. ”

Everyone shook their heads, the name Qi Refiner, they had only heard of it occasionally, and as for the origin, they hadn't even thought about it.

"I also heard from my teacher that in ancient times, when the human race was just born and had not yet gotten rid of the chaos of ignorance, there were often gods and spirits coming and going to the world, and it was at that time that the way of witchcraft began to rise. At that time, Wu Zhu was more of a god, and many people only knew their mothers, but not their fathers, and lived together as tribes and fought with various primeval ethnic groups. ”

Later, His Majesty the Green Emperor Fuxi came into the world as a god and passed down the path to the heavens. That kind of method is the method of walking the way of God with humanity, and in ancient times, many sages and kings took this road. It was also at that time that other humane practices began to take shape. ”

"By the time His Majesty Emperor Yan and His Majesty the Yellow Emperor arrived, among the human race, amazing and brilliant people emerged one after another. They are either emperors, or emperors' friends, or emperors' ministers, discussing together, taking the way of Shinto and witchcraft, and even the way of various monsters, studying pure humane cultivation methods, and the method of refining qi, which began to appear in the world. However, humanity at that time was always under Shinto, and there was great chaos between God and man. ”

"Since His Majesty the Black Emperor Zhuan Tiantong, humanity separated from the Shinto, until King Yu beheaded himself, the position of the Jedi Emperor Shinto, and built a human dynasty, for hundreds of years. Then there was the opening of the netherworld, the gods went on an expedition to the Western Regions, and the heavens and men returned to their respective places. Since then, it has been difficult for the human race to cultivate the method of Shinto, and the human race has been sages and saints from generation to generation, and they have further explored, investigated the origin of heaven and earth, and explored the path of immortality. At this time, the way of refining qi finally has the image of great success. ”

"Fellow sages, their strength at this time is no longer even under the Divine Spirit Saint King Heavenly Demon Great Witch. ”

Several members of the Ji clan heard Qiu Sheng finish talking about the birth history of this Qi refining lineage, and they all looked at each other in amazement, and they were leisurely fascinated.

Ji Kao even said to himself in his heart, this method of refining qi is more like a humane cultivation method.

Compared with what Pangu opened the world, Hongjun Dao Ancestor Zixiao Palace preached, passed on the three friends together, and the two sects explained the truncation, this should be the road of humanity and the road of cultivation.

Maybe there are gods to help, and human beings are grateful to the gods, but the road, after all, has to go out by itself.

Generations of sages and kings of the human race have overcome obstacles and walked out of a road step by step from a place where there is no road.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement, probably this is what he said.

"The Qi Refiner is a line, the cultivation method, is constantly innovating, the method described above this animal skin, if my guess is correct, it should be before Emperor Shi made words. ”

Qiu Sheng looked at the animal skin, his eyes were full of sighs, and he didn't know whether to praise or regret.

"If it is the way of witchcraft, perhaps the more ancient it is, the more powerful the witch god involved, and if it is the way of totem, it may be more ancient, and the more terrifying the true spirit it is induced. However, our way of refining qi is different, seeking new ideas and changes, whether it is a monk in the emperor's era or a person who has just obtained supernatural powers, they are constantly combining themselves, constantly combining heaven and earth, and looking for a more suitable path for themselves. ”

"The present law may not be better than the ancient law, but it is undoubtedly more suitable for today's people. ”

Hearing Qiu Sheng's words, Ji Chang suddenly remembered something, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Qiu Sheng, if I am not mistaken, Emperor Shi made words, it was when His Majesty Xuanyuan was in charge of the world. If this animal skin was from the time of His Majesty Fuxi, how could there be a text note on it. ”

Shi Huang Cangjie is also a famous big man, it is said that he was also a king, and later became a minister under the command of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

It is rumored that Cangjie Longyan is extravagant, four eyes are bright, there is really Ruide, born to be able to write, so the change of the poor world, looking up at the trend of Kuixing's round curve, looking down on the turtle and Toba mountains and rivers, fingering and creating words, the sky is the rain, the ghost is crying for the night, and the dragon is hidden.

Although the shape of the words they learn today has changed, the roots have not changed. Signing, pictogram, morphophonic, understanding, transcribing, and borrowing, the six methods of word creation and the words created were transmitted to the world at the same time, and humanity began from this.

"Hehe, you're smart. Qiu Sheng looked at Ji Chang and smiled faintly: "This picture was painted by Emperor Shi before, but these text annotations were left by the Xia Hou clan. ”

"It's also funny, the person who commented is a monk in the totemic lineage, and probably the cultivation realm is still above me. This person is also wise and proficient, and he uses the method of totem to explain the way of refining qi, and he is also decent. If it is obtained by a friend in the totem lineage, it is a wonderful method. ”

The method of totem, except for Ji Kao, everyone present knows what kind of method it is.

Zhuxia has witches and spirits to communicate with ghosts and gods, and Siyi also has totems to communicate with ancestral spirits, since King Yu established the dynasty, between the two, there has never been a stop fighting.

The people of the Ji clan have all fought against Rong Di before, so they naturally know their methods.

Like Wu Zhu, in Rong Di, it is not so simple to cultivate a totem inducer.

"But I see that there is no other commentary on the skin of the animal except for this kind of writing. And these three pictures are just postures, and there is no cultivation method on them. ”

Ji Chang looked at the animal skin again, and another doubt welled up in his heart.

These are three human figures, one sitting, one sleeping and one walking, there is no marking, where is it like the method of refining qi.

Qiu Sheng laughed: "You are looking at it with the naked eye, so naturally you can't see it." If you want to get the method of refining qi here, you need to enter the country and look at it with your own qi realm in order to comprehend this ancient method. ”

"What is entry?"

Ji Kao's heart moved, and he immediately grabbed the two words that Qiu Sheng had just said.
