Chapter 514: Inner Dan and Outer Dan
There are thousands of kinds of knowledge in the world, but Danxue is unique, because Danxue is a science that can truly make people transcend life and death, and become immortals and sanctifications. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The so-called Jindan Da* method, in addition to the classification method based on personal qualifications, such as Tianyuan Dan, Diyuan Dan, and Renyuan Dan, there are also Dandao ancestors who divide them into inner Dan and outer Dan with the human body as the boundary, which is actually nothing more than the method of inner self-cultivation and outer main character.
Inner Dan, the human body is a small world, the universe is a big world, and the inner Dan practices the art of combining the big and small heaven and earth into one, that is, refining and refining the qi, refining the qi and transforming the gods, and refining the gods and returning the void.
As for Wai Dan, it is based on a different view of the universe, and for the Dan family, there is nothing in the world that does not contain some kind of mysterious and unfathomable power, and the power of the universe is as small as a fine dust and as large as mountains and rivers.
The problem is how to unleash this mysterious power, and the technique of the Outer Pill is to extract the essence contained in the external things and then take them for oneself.
As far as Shi Zhixuan knows, the real Dan Dao everyone, in fact, all of them are well-versed in heaven and man, exhaustively study all things, the inner Dan and the outer Dan are inclusive, complement each other, and become the art of the Immortal Dao.
The so-called inner Dan and outer Dan here have different paths to the same end, which is by no means a lie, but a real reference!
When the Inner Dan Technique reaches the high and deep level of [refining the gods and returning to the void], it is not only to do kung fu in the body, but to ask the Yuan Shen to eliminate the limitations of the physical body and become one with the void of the universe, which can no longer be summarized by the word "inner".
Therefore, there are also Dan families who call the level of [Refining God and Returning Void] to the Condensation Yuan Shen Wai Dan, which means that the way of directly plundering the power of the universe void with the Yuan Shen is essentially the same as the principle of refining the essence of all things as one's own.
It's just that the Ordinary Outer Pill is the essence of refining and ingesting tangible things such as plants, trees, gold and stones, while the Yuan Shen Outer Pill is directly extracting the essence of the universe void, and the latter is a hundred times more clever.
Similarly, the primary level of the Wai Dan technique is similar to that of medicine, which is to use various drug ores to refine the medicinal liquids, medicine powders, pills and other substances that cure diseases and heal injuries and strengthen the body, which is equivalent to the internal Dan technique to build the base level of active qi and blood, and accumulate Yuan Jing;
Because the Wai Dan technique requires a lot of practice at the beginning and consumes a lot of money, many alchemy alchemists who have barely reached this level like to refine some fake elixirs, blood nourishing pills, aphrodisiac * yang * pills and other fake and shoddy products to defraud money from rich families and even emperors, and from time to time metal poisoning eats dead people.
The intermediate level of the Wai Dan Technique is one level higher, and it can already refine all kinds of essence pills that replenish vitality, cleanse tendons and cut the marrow, and after swallowing it, you can improve the cultivation of internal strength, and nine out of ten famous senior alchemy practitioners in the world are at this level, which is equivalent to the [refining and refining qi] level of the Nei Dan technique;
In the end, the advanced level of the Wai Dan technique is the essence of the Wai Dan theory, but unfortunately this level is too difficult and obscure, and it is difficult for people with extraordinary wisdom to achieve success.
Over the ages, Ge Hong, known as the Danzu Dansheng, An Shiqing, known as the Dan King, and other figures who stood at the peak of alchemy, were actually hovering at this level, but their alchemy attainments were deep and shallow.
This level is not limited to changing people's physique with pills before, but further involves how to change people's mental state with the power of pills, so as to enhance and refine people's primordial spirits, which is equivalent to the level of [refining qi and transforming gods] of the inner pill technique.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, Wushisan and Hanshisan, which were all the ramp, were the by-products of the research of senior alchemists to change the power of pills to shape people's mental state, and the effect was similar to that of poison, and the technical content was very low.
Of course, this kind of thing is only hallucinogenic drugs at best, and it cannot meet the requirements of elevating and refining people's spirits, and there are very few elixirs in the history of alchemy that really meet this requirement, and all of them are extremely precious and mysterious.
And the pinnacle of this kind of elixir is the Dan Tribulation and Dongji Dan that created Yan Fei and An Yuqing respectively, both of which belong to one yang and one yin, close to the true fire of the sun and the true water of Taiyin, all of which have reached the limit of similar elixirs, which can improve the essence of people to the perfect state of [refining qi and transforming gods].
The reason why it is impossible to further push people to the level of [refining gods and returning to emptiness] is only because if you want to reach the level of [refining gods and returning to emptiness], what is needed is no longer real or virtual energy, but you need to understand the nature of heaven and earth, and you need the unity of heaven and man...... This is not something that can be given by the power of the elixir alone.
And the Sun True Fire of the Refining Pill Tribulation and the Taiyin True Water of the Cave Extreme Pill are actually no longer pills in the ordinary sense, but a ball of essence heaven and earth energy, infinitely close to or even equivalent to the ultimate Yuan Force refined from the Void of the Universe at the level of the Inner Dan Technique [Refining God and Returning Void].
In fact, the method of taking Dan Tribulation and Dong Ji Dan has been separated from the single oral method of ordinary pills, and there is no need to swallow it from the mouth at all, you can directly use the skin of the body to touch the Dan Tribulation and Dong Ji Dan to suck them into the body.
Once the elixir of these two energy states touches the human body, its effect is to directly act on the three elements of human essence, qi and spirit at the same time, rather than indirectly changing the mental state through digestion and absorption by the body like ordinary elixirs.
In other words, if a person's spiritual power is stronger and can be used freely, there is no need to touch these two pills with his body at all, but only wrap and fuse the pills with invisible spiritual power, and he can also absorb and digest them!
This is exactly the same as the way the [Refining God Returning to Void] realm uses the primordial god to draw primordial energy from the void of the universe!
It is precisely because of this that the Outer Dan Technique has the qualifications to be compared with the Inner Dan Technique, and there is a saying that the Inner Dan and the Outer Dan have different paths to the same end, and only the predecessors call the Yuan Shen Wai Dan in the realm of [refining the gods and returning to the void]!
In the world, whether it is the inner Dan technique or the outer Dan technique, those who have made achievements in the middle and low level of Yuan Jing and Yuan Qi are like the carp that crosses the river, and there are countless people, but those who can enter the house at the high and profound Yuan Shen level are rare, and all of them are people of great wisdom and perseverance.
It can be seen from this that the immortal road is arduous, the long road is long, and there is no shortcut to be found.
It is precisely because he is well versed in this principle that Shi Zhixuan knows that there are many cultivators who are obsessed with the Wai Dan Technique in the world, but he has never found the idea of exchanging experiences with them - Ge Hong and An Shiqing's Wai Dan are as scarce as the great grandmasters, and now those famous alchemists are basically all still at the intermediate level of the Wai Dan Technique, and those who occasionally touch the advanced level will only practice some hallucinogenic drugs at most, which is not worth mentioning in terms of the true meaning of the Dan Dao.
Even, Shi Zhixuan left all kinds of outer pill techniques he had learned to Zhang Lihua to toss casually to relieve boredom, and he never put the result in his heart.
However, today is different, Shi Zhixuan has proved with facts that the evil emperor relics from the Evil Extreme Sect, after being decontaminated, retaining the essence of the essence, and infusing enough pure vitality, can actually act as a supreme treasure that contains the essence of the human spirit and the spirit of the three elements, and the entrusts the human Yuan Shen Waidan.
This kind of treasure, exhaustively searched in the world, I'm afraid there are few pieces!
He's Bi is one, but unfortunately there is already the main (and Shibi's Yuan Ling), if only the leftovers of He's Bi, such as the miniature jade sword, it is not enough to entrust the powerful Yuan Shen, only a trace of the origin of the Yuan Shen.
Some materials are peculiar, with strong spirituality of ancient swords, antiques, ancient calligraphy and paintings, etc., such as the legendary Xuanyuan sword, Chixiao sword, seven-star Longyuan sword, and Dayu cast a bronze tripod symbolizing Kyushu and so on.
The most important thing is that the spirituality of these things is not innate, but given or cultivated by the acquired, and they all pay attention to a compatibility, if their spirituality is slightly less compatible with the cultivator's unique Yuan Shen and Yuan Qi, or even rejected, they will also not be able to trust the Yuan Shen Wai Dan.
Only this evil emperor relic is a strange crystallization of nature, as inclusive as the essence of heaven and earth, it can be called the "infinite" attribute, and does not exclude the primordial spirit and vitality of any attribute.
"The three-dimensional fusion of essence and spirit is complete?"
After the movement in the relic crystal ball gradually subsided, Shi Zhixuan once again concentrated on it, only to "see" that the originally layered pitch-black divine qi, innate qi, and yuan essence had already merged into a pitch-black cloud like smoke and mist.
Moreover, this pitch-black cloud is not static, it is like a living thing, constantly tumbling and changing!
Sometimes it turns into a hideous dragon, soaring through the clouds, perhaps due to the characteristics of bad luck, and sometimes it turns into a vague human form, surrounded by yin qi, like a legendary ghost, which should be derived from his characteristics of the origin of the primordial gods;
As for the original image of the dark clouds?
Shi Zhixuan faintly determined that this was the natural nature of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, that is, the [Three Flowers Gathering Peak] in the cultivation terminology of the Dao Sect and the "Yuan Shen Qingyun" in myths and legends!
Laymen speculate that the three-flower gathering top is to gather three lotus flowers of different colors in the brain or on the top of the head, which is called the essence flower, the air flower, and the divine flower, but it is not.
Dan Dao Kung Fu is the process of turning the three essences, qi and spirits into two, two into one, and one into nothing. The three essences and spirits are distinct, which first proves that Dan Dao Kung Fu has not yet started, and it is still at the level of ordinary people.
The so-called "three-flower gathering", the "three-flower" person, the sublimation of the spirit and spirit.
The gathering of three flowers refers to the integration of the three essences, qi and spirits into one, gathered in the upper dantian eyebrows and gods, which is the foundation of one's cultivation. Regardless of its image, there is only one "flower" at most, and there will never be three "flowers"!
The so-called "Yuanshen Qingyun" is not the cushion under the ass of the Yuanshen villain imagined by some people, but the external manifestation of the Yuanshen energy, that is, a part of the Yuanshen Dharma Body.
Of course, the Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not famous.
No matter how high-end the name is, no matter how exquisite and beautiful the external image is, it actually has no ultimate significance.
Whether it is the gathering of the three flowers or the Qingyun of the Yuan Shen, the external image of the manifestation of the Yuan Shen is just the natural nature of the Yuan Qi or energy used in the process of cultivating the Yuan Shen Dharma Body.
[Refining Qi and Transforming God] is almost complete, the Yuan Shen has gradually condensed and manifested in the body, if the concentration is deep, or the Yuan Shen can go out of the body, but at this time, the Yuan Shen is scattered, and the body is easy to be damaged and polluted, and it cannot last long.
Only by repeatedly condensing the primordial spirit and gathering it into a dharma body can one enter and exit the god at will, without fear of damage from the wind and sun, but also not from the flesh for a long time.
And when it comes to the level of returning to the void, heaven and man are united, the void is merged, and the primordial god dharma body is gradually becoming greater, waiting for enlightenment, there is no self and no phase, scattering becomes qi, and gathering becomes a god.
At this time, the image of the Yuan Shen Dharma Body is condensed and manifested, which is actually the appearance of the mental image, which can be a habitual human form, a flame that represents the steaming of yang energy, a water pool that symbolizes the sinking of yin energy, or even an abstract sphere that symbolizes the sun and moon of heaven and earth.
"I don't know what level this primordial god incarnation has reached?"
Shi Zhixuan stared at the relic crystal ball and secretly speculated, silently feeling the faint connection between this primordial god incarnation and his original yang god, but it was a pity that the thoughts he injected were attacked by the hostile attack of the evil luck qi, and the slightest imperceptible induction connection alone could not control this primordial god incarnation at all.
In fact, he didn't have much hope, anyway, this primordial god incarnation could never be at the same level as the deity.
After all, after the condensation of the primordial spirit, in addition to the fire of the Dao Gong, it also depends on the will and determination, but the incarnation of the primordial god in the relic crystal ball is incomplete, and it is also deeply eroded by the evil qi of the catastrophe, and it is as crazy as a powerful ghost and evil spirit, so how can we talk about the state of mind?
However, the energy intensity of this primordial god incarnation is very good, not inferior to the level of the Yang God!
"It's a pity, if you make a mistake according to my established assumptions, reconcile and temper, dispel evil and promote righteousness, and when it comes to truly turning it into your own use, I don't know how much energy can be left at this time?" (To be continued.) )
