Chapter 239: Subtle
The valley is full of birds and flowers, like a paradise. Ming Qin was satisfied to see Jing Meiwei, and as for the external disputes, he was beyond his ability, so he had no intention of caring about them.
In the past few days, the practice of the Breath Technique has gone smoothly, and the method is about very ancient, perhaps at that time, the Immortal Dao was not very developed, and many concepts had to be twisted into annotations, but it was difficult to read, but when it was actually practiced, it was far from the case.
It is true that the breathing technique is a technique of skin breathing, as Yun Qingsu said, but it is not useless. All kinds of skin in the world have pores, and Taoism calls it qiqi, which is actually the channel between the soul and the outside world.
When people are in extreme fear, they often have a creepy feeling, and their skin is slightly shuddering, and this kind of palpitation is not necessarily encountered in reality, but the fact is the effect of soul consciousness, and the human sensory consciousness, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, are all perceptible to reason, and in addition, the seventh sense, the eighth sense, the alayya, and the ninth sense, the amoro consciousness, can only be vaguely perceived in a certain state or can be realized through arduous cultivation.
The last three are soul consciousness, and when these consciousnesses are strong enough to a certain extent, they are what Taoists call the primordial spirit.
However, the essence of the Taoist exhalation and refining of qi is still a kind of consciousness, and it often takes a long process to refine from the sixth sense to the soul consciousness, and the unique way of the Duxing Gong lies in directly recognizing the soul consciousness and starting from the seventh sense. If it can be successful, of course, it will be much closer.
In addition to palpitations, the method of recognizing soul consciousness is night qi. Palpitations are an abnormal state that is uncontrollable, let alone created. Night air is often said in the world to discover the conscience, no matter how vicious the world is, it is possible to discover the conscience, and the deep level of conscience discovery is the soul consciousness, and the manifestation is a nightmare. Of course, if a person falls to such a point, he must belong to the command, and there is nothing to be done.
Conscience discovery is usually in the dead of night, because it is only at this time that the six consciousnesses are in a state of slackness, and the soul consciousness is more active. When he is out of the body, he has to absorb the incense of the world, and the meaning of incense is part of consciousness and part of it is food. Some people say that the death of a close person means that a part of oneself has died, but in fact, it means the loss of a part of one's consciousness. And food usually includes color, fragrance, and taste, and the enjoyment of the soul is not much different from that of mortals, and many foods cannot be digested.
Therefore, the soul is consistent, the first step of the Taoist refining qi is to refine and refine the qi, the essence is the energy generated by the body, people often say, close the eyes and nourish the spirit, so the soul is happy and quiet, we find that if there is no dream at night, the energy is often recovered well the next day, the dream consciousness and the soul function is different, if the dream is a familiar person and thing, often the consciousness is at work, if the dream is isolated, it is possible that the soul is active. There is no doubt that the activity of consciousness can make people feel mentally exhausted.
There is a saying called out-of-body soul, which is a very dangerous thing, and the soul will only go out of the body when the body is very weak, which means that death is not far away. This aperture is the soul aperture, the soul aperture and the skin's qi orifice are consistent, and it is usually closed, and it is not allowed to enter the external wind overflow, and the skin's slight chestnut is actually a tightening of pores, which has the nature of self-defense.
Daoists often have to fast in the valley, because the mortal grains are not compatible with the immortals. Since the opening up, those who are light and float are the sky, and those who are heavy and turbid are the earth, and the grains grown on the earth are of course not beneficial to the way of heaven. After learning the Tao, you have to eat and drink dew, which is also the truth of the soul's food. And mortals breathe, the Taoist exhales all thanks to the nasal cavity, and the qi is stored in the dantian, this true qi is still essence, and the so-called energy is full of qi refers to the dantian qi, so to enter the soul consciousness from consciousness, there must be a transformation of refining and refining qi.
In a word, the peculiarity of the Solitary Awakening Gong and the Breathing Technique is to open the soul aperture, so that the night qi can be directly absorbed by the soul consciousness. Of course, this is dangerous for people who have no foundation, not to mention the things sought after by Taoists such as Jindan and Holy Water, even if the wind blows too much in the mountains, they may also get a cold, so this method was originally very dangerous.
However, the two tips of waking up and sleeping alone have their own exquisiteness, and they are not whimsical people who mistake themselves. There are many things in the world that can sleep for a winter without eating or drinking, which is called hibernation. The Taoist techniques such as Bigu and turtle breath have many references, and the sleeping recipe is made possible by one person to reduce the consumption and accumulate night qi for another person to deter, while the awakening recipe is the opposite, and its wonderful place to create is also very amazing.
Of course, the so-called skin breathing of the breathing technique is not to open the soul and absorb the flow of wind and overflow, and with Ming Qin's cultivation, it is far from that level. The art of war says that the vigor is sharp, the day is lazy, and the twilight returns. In one sentence, the law of qi growth and decline is exhausted. Even if a person sleeps from morning to night and wakes up in good spirits, he will never feel sharp.
And mortals work at sunrise and rest at sunset, energy will not accumulate, a person can not work for a few days in a row, and then rest for a few days in a row, the energy is limited, and there is a bottom limit, and the rest is limited to not only will not gain, but will be tired. If you fall below the floor, you will undoubtedly get sick.
The reason for this is that human beings have limited space to store energy, and martial artists are relatively better, but they are still mortals after all.
There are thousands of monks in the Three Realms, and there is no one who can really cross the boundary between heaven and man and become the Jindan Dao. And the key step is to form the golden pill, and the difficulty is to realize the realization of the soul consciousness. No matter how strong the qi refining is, he can only be regarded as a martial artist, and only by recognizing the soul consciousness can he transcend the world and enter the realm of immortals.
Although Heavenly Court now has a method for realm assessment, its lack of rigor has long been criticized, not to mention the realm of heaven and man, it is only two or three out of ten that can be learned in the real realm.
In fact, the essence of each kind of spiritual consciousness is different, although consciousness is the highest level of the six consciousnesses, and the soul consciousness and the realm are divided, many monks do not know this difference, thinking that refining qi can form a pill, but they don't know that they are just wandering in consciousness, if there is a difference between martial arts and Taoism, and martial artists are not able to form a golden pill inside, the root is here.
The way out for a warrior is to ascend in the flesh to prove the Tao with strength, and human beings are not very talented in this area, and there is a lack of credible examples in ancient times.
In fact, the immortal family does not welcome mortals to preach, the Tao Sutra says, human law earth, earth law heaven, it is said that the ghosts and spirits that belong to the earth have more advantages in cultivation, and the actual situation may not be as good as that of human beings. The reason why the three thousand avenues are mostly attributed to the way of refining and cultivating, in the final analysis, is that this method is the most easy, although not everyone can succeed, at least everyone in the world can have dreams, and merit, luck and the like are only hoped for the favor of immortals or the support of gods and Buddhas. xh118
