Chapter 51: Yin and Yang are reversed
On the way back, Xiao Yi's mind was full of thoughts about the words on the wooden slip. He vaguely felt that the wooden slip should be left by the sect. The purpose of intercepting the religion is to intercept a glimmer of life, and its behavior is to go against the sky. At the same time, he also affirmed some of his past understanding of Chongzhen Sect, and affirmed the ideological realm of taking nothing as a guide. Birth, old age, sickness and death are inherently natural laws, but cultivating the Tao is to get rid of life and death and live forever, which itself is going against the sky, but it is necessary to conform to nature and cure by doing nothing. This is tantamount to walking the way of selfishness under the cloak of goodwill, words and deeds are inconsistent, contradictory to oneself, so how can one truly become an immortal. It's better to be more realistic and free to go against the grain. At this moment, although he is more respectful of the sect, he asks himself and feels that the two are mixed, everything should not be absolute, and there should be a degree between adversity and obedience, which is the "natural degree".
After thinking about it, Xiao Yi felt that he had finally gotten rid of the chaotic cultivation state of the past. In the past, he was always groping his way forward, and he didn't have a complete set of cultivation routes, let alone directions, but now, like a ray of sunshine at dawn, everything became clear.
But thinking about it further down this sentence, he couldn't figure out how to explain "Yin and Yang upside down". Halfway through, I couldn't help but ask for advice: "The little brother has some doubts in his heart, and I want to invite the senior brother or two." ”
Lu Wei said: "Senior brother is polite, but it doesn't hurt to ask." "I'd like to hear what questions you can ask." ”
Xiao Yi said: "Dare to ask senior brother, the "Tao Te Ching" mentions that 'all things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and think that they are harmonious', and the theory of yin and yang is often mentioned in other scriptures, but the land of Kyushu is dominated by Gangyang, and the Chongzhen Sect also practices pure yang and true skills. The younger brother still couldn't figure out where this theory of yin and yang came from?"
When Lu Weidao heard this, he was shocked and said, "How can the junior brother have such an idea?"
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "The little brother was born with a love of drilling horns, and when he realized the Tao once, he suddenly thought of this problem, and he was always troubled. If you can't figure it out for a day, you won't be able to get rid of it for a day, so I specially asked my senior brother for advice. ”
Lu Weidao paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "It's not that my brother doesn't want to say it, it's just that this period involves a secret of Taoism, and I don't know much about my brother, and it's inconvenient to tell you." ”
Xiao Yi grasped the key and hurriedly asked, "Listen to the meaning of Senior Brother, Taoism used to be a dual cultivation of yin and yang in the past?"
Lu Weidao shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the dual cultivation of yin and yang. However, the Taoist theory of yin and yang has a long history, and it was famous in Kyushu at that time, and it was well known to the world. ”
Xiao Yi asked: "Then why is there no such thing now, there is little discussion in the Daozang, and even if it is mentioned, it is only superficial?"
Lu Weidao thought for a while, and suddenly said: "'The weather is Menghong, the sprout begins, then divides the heaven and the earth, establishes the world, enlightens the yin and feels the yang, distributes the vitality, is pregnant and neutralized, and is also for people'." When Kyushu was first formed, the chaos of heaven and earth was not clear, and the sympathy of yin and yang was symbiotic. Therefore, it is not surprising that the path of cultivating truth adopts the method of dual cultivation of yin and yang. ”
Xiao Yiqi said: "Kyushu in the past is still different from the present?"
Lu Wei said: "It's not just different, it's a world of difference." Listening to the ancestors, there is a dragon god between heaven and earth...... Xiao Yi witnessed the rupture of the dragon seal stone wall, and naturally believed in the dragon god's words. I only heard Lu Weidao continue: "Later, I don't know whether it was the prosperity of heaven and earth and the decline of yin and yin, which caused the dragon god to fly away, or the departure of the dragon god, which caused the yin and yang to be out of tune and the yang to flourish and the yin to decline. Anyway, since then, the yin energy in the land of Kyushu has become weaker and weaker, and the yang energy has become more and more vigorous. Up to now, the yin energy is gone, and only the yang energy exists. Correspondingly, in order to adapt to the environment, the cultivation methods of each sect have gradually evolved and improved, abandoning the way of cultivating yin. ”
Xiao Yi looked at the surrounding environment in amazement, and then felt the flow of mixed true qi in his body, and suddenly felt that all things in nature were really magical. After a pause, he asked again: "Yang Qi prevails, so where does Yin Qi go?"
Lu Weidao shook his head and said: "I don't know this, but I just listened to the seniors, the yin qi ran underground, forming another world, called the Yin Cao Difu." When people die, they go there. ”
In the underworld, Xiao Yi not only heard his parents talk about it, but also often heard the people in the village mention it, at that time, it was only a coax, but now listening to Lu Weidao, it seems that there is indeed something to do. However, in his mind now, he thought of Liao Wuchen, Lin Bufan and others, and said in his heart: "Is the (below) netherworld the legendary underworld? Could they all be ghosts?" Thinking everywhere, I couldn't help but shudder.
Lu Weidao happened to see it, and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother is uncomfortable?"
Xiao Yi said truthfully: "When I think of the underworld, I feel a little timid in my heart. ”
Lu Weidao smiled and said, "Taoist cultivation, you must always keep your heart pure, it seems that the junior brother has not yet practiced at home." ”
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
It was night, and Xiao Yi was still practicing Huayin in the courtyard against the moonlight. Today, I learned that the Changqing Daoist still has a residence on the mountain, and this place is just one of his other courtyards. Moreover, the Changqing Daoist recently wanted to discuss the affairs of the Dao Conference, and he didn't care about coming to the other courtyards, so he also practiced in the courtyard in a grand manner.
Because I had just realized some theories today, my heart was itchy and I was anxious to cultivate, and I had already thrown the instructions of the Changqing Daoist to the back of my head.
While he was practicing Huayin Technique, he was still thinking about the words "Yin and Yang are reversed". He dug into what he had learned in his life and thought about theories related to yin and yang, but he couldn't find a way. As mentioned in the book, Yin and Yang complement each other, or Yin and Yang are mutually restrained, or Yin and Yang rotate, and there is no reason for Yin and Yang to be reversed. What is the reversal of yin and yang? Suddenly, he thought of the trick of cultivating mixed true qi in recent times. Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing each other, and Yin and Yang are conducive to cultivating Yang True Qi, so why can't you create the illusion of Yang and Yin decay and enhance the absorption of Yin spiritual energy?
Therefore, holding the Yuan Shouyi, upholding an incomparably pure heart, guiding the future with nothingness, trying to strip the Yin True Qi from it, slowly sending it into the three Yin Sutras, and dividing it into two uses, on the one hand, guiding the Yin True Qi, making a closed cycle in the three Yin Sutras of the hand, on the other hand, slowly flowing the Yang True Qi, forming a flowing cyclone in the dantian. Sure enough, as soon as the Huayin Technique was put into operation, it caused a rapid attraction to the Yin spiritual energy, and the cultivation speed increased significantly.
This trial is simple to say, but when it comes to operation, it is indeed extremely complicated. If there is no advanced realm cultivation to support it, everything is just talk on paper. It took Xiao Yi almost a whole night to verify that this method was indeed feasible.
At this time, he felt the Yin spiritual energy in the moon bloom continuously entering his body, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
