Chapter Forty-Eight: Nine Difficulties and Three Calamities
"Apprentice, are you going to demolish the house as soon as you wake up?" Xuanxu Lao Dao looked at Fang Yuan, who was jumping up and down in the room, thinking that he had just entered the qi induction period, how could he not be like this, but he still smiled and said Fang Yuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Master, I feel like I can crack the stone with my bare hands now. Fang Yuan looked at his hands and said.
"Of course, it is not a problem to fly the eaves and go to the wall, and open the stele and crack the stone. Xuanxu Lao Dao smiled and asked Fang Yuan again, "Do you feel anything abnormal in your body?"
"Abnormal? I don't feel good now, I don't feel anything abnormal. Fang Yuan was curious why Master would say such a thing.
Xuanxu Lao Dao told Fang Yuan about Fang Yuan's embodiment of the Golden Bell that day.
Fang Yuan was also a little puzzled, why he couldn't feel it.
"Can you make that golden bell free to appear? Xuanxu Lao Dao motioned for Fang Yuan to give it a try.
"Oh. Fang Yuan tried to spread the True Yuan in his body all over his body, but there was no change.
"It's weird. Xuanxu didn't understand it, so he didn't want to pacing it.
"Master, there is one thing that I am very curious about, you used to say that you can only go through the Nine Tribulations to Zhong Daogen, but you didn't tell me what the Nine Tribulations are, can you tell me today?"
Xuanxu Old Dao motioned for Fang Yuan to sit down, and then began to speak slowly.
The so-called nine difficulties refer to: food and clothing are forced to be a difficulty, respect for the elders to block the invitation is a difficulty, parents are tied to a difficulty, fame and fortune are a difficulty, weakness is a difficulty, blind teacher restraint is a difficulty, self-esteem is a big difficulty, will slackness is a difficulty, years are a difficulty, a total of nine difficulties.
The nine tribulations are the will of heaven, and they cannot be informed in advance, otherwise they will increase the power of natural disasters in the future, and for him, the Dao will be scattered, and he will have no chance with the Dao.
Fang Yuan heard the master talk about his parents' bonds, his face darkened, he was indeed no longer bound by his parents.
"Master, I understand everything else, what does it mean that these years have passed?" The others are easy to understand, but I can't figure out how to think about these years.
"There is no end to personnel, and there are only a few years. How many cultivators have fallen in front of the door, and they haven't even entered the door, this is also the most difficult place, in a limited number of years, to reach a higher realm, otherwise there is only the fate of falling. After Xuanxu Lao Dao finished speaking, he sighed with a rare long sigh.
Fang Yuan thought about it, he could only increase his longevity for five hundred years when he reached the god transformation stage, and he didn't know how many people had not crossed this hurdle.
"Master, then you tell me about the Qi Induction Period, what realm there is after the Transformation Period" Fang Yuan's face was full of curiosity.
"That teacher is telling you about the three plagues. ”
"Three calamities?" doesn't sound like a good thing, calamities, and the path of cultivation seems to be very bumpy.
"The so-called three disasters, after the induction period, the wind disaster, the birth of the flower, into the god period, after the god of the fire, the birth of the flower, into the refining period, after the refining period, after the thunderstorm, the birth of smallpox, at this time the three flowers gather at the top, break the sun and rise, and can be ranked in the immortal class in the future. ”
Xuanxu Lao Dao said this, but it frightened Fang Yuan: "Can you really become an immortal, Master?"
"It can be done, but there are only a handful of people who can soar in recent years, and the aura between heaven and earth is not as good as it was thousands of years ago. Xuanxu shook his head and sighed.
"Master, where did all the people go after the ascension?"
"I don't know if I'm a teacher, and I haven't been promoted as a teacher, how can I know where I will go after I'm promoted?"
"Oh. ”
At this moment, Fang Yuan was extremely curious, especially wanting to know where the people had gone after the ascension, and he made up his mind that this would be the driving force for my cultivation in the future, and I would ascend to !!
"Master's three calamities are not the "Eagle Wind", "Yin Fire" and "Heavenly Thunder" mentioned in "Journey to the West". Fang Yuan remembered the three calamities mentioned by Bodhi Ancestor in "Journey to the West" when he preached.
"Yes and no. Everyone's three calamities are different, and you need to feel them yourself. There are three thousand ways to go, choose one of them. Everyone has their own way, all of them lead to the road, and the end point is the way of heaven. It's just that the path of cultivation is to conquer the heavens and the earth, but it is to go against the sky, and it is not easy. ”
"What is the Tao, Master?"
"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things, all things can be Tao, and all laws can be Tao. ”
"Is there a merit or a disadvantage to the Tao, Master?"
"There are three thousand words, but they are only a general name, which means that they cannot be counted. There are upper, middle and lower grades, and the further down the road, the more difficult it is to achieve, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. ”
"Oh. ”
"Today, you have reached the Qi Induction Period, so I can teach you a qi eating method as a teacher, and it will also help you absorb the vitality of heaven and earth faster. Listen well and memorize.
In the middle of the night, when you first wake up in the morning, and when you are fasting, you can choose a place where the air is fresh, the environment is quiet, and the vitality of heaven and earth is strong.
Stand, sit and lie down at will, meditate and concentrate on the mind when practicing, dig out distracting thoughts, and wait for the mind to calm down, and then you can practice.
Close your mouth first, slowly inhale through your nose, and then swallow the clear air in your mouth into your abdomen after you are full, then look for the turbid qi in your body, suck it with your abdomen, and swallow the clear air in your mouth into your abdomen after you are full, and then exhale the turbid air in your body. Breathing it out once like this is called "one swallow".
It should be no less than 100 swallows per day, and the number of times should be increased appropriately after proficiency.
While practicing the Qi Eating Method, the amount of food consumed will be significantly reduced, and the spirit will be fuller than before.
Can the apprentice remember?" Xuanxu Old Dao said a lot in one breath, if it weren't for Fang Yuan's good memory, he really wouldn't be able to remember.
Fang Yuan carefully recalled it in his mind and said, "Well, I remembered Master. But Fang Yuan always felt faintly uneasy in his heart, today's master was too upright.
"Give it a try right here. Xuanxu Lao Dao said, looking at Fang Yuan lightly.
According to what the master said, Fang Yuan took a casual posture, simply sat cross-legged and sat down with his heart facing the sky, feeling the vitality of heaven and earth, and after a while, there was something like Bai Lian like the master between his nostrils, inhaling and exhaling, and there was a faint white luster around his body.
Xuanxu Lao Dao looked at Fang Yuan at this time, and there was a huge surprise in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Looking at the white luster around Fang Yuan's body, he sighed secretly: A genius is indeed a genius.
This luster is clearly a sign of practicing qi with one hand and training with the body, and distraction.
Draw a circle with your left hand, draw a square with your right hand, practice qi with one hand, practice body with one hand, distract from two purposes, the capital of Tianzhong, the capital of Tianzhong, and it is really worthy of his name: Fang Yuan.
If you continue to practice like this, with the physical body of your own apprentice, I am afraid that it can be comparable to a spiritual treasure, and it is simply a physical magic weapon.
Xuanxu Lao Dao felt that he was going to be angry to death, and his qualifications could not be compared with his apprentices. Fang Yuan shocked him too much today, and it was too big, which made him have a feeling that Fang Yuan stayed in this small view and wronged Fang Yuan.
As Fang Yuan's momentum closed and his cultivation was completed, Xuanxu Old Dao asked Fang Yuan, "Do you feel any changes in your body?"
"Change?" Fang Yuan glanced at his master, "There is no change, if you want to talk about change, it may be that it feels a little stronger again." ”
Fang Yuan poked his arm as he spoke, feeling it carefully.
Xuanxu Lao Dao lamented: "Are geniuses so shameless? ”
