Chapter 12: The Nine Layers of Qi Cultivation (Part I)
In a flash, it's three years. Ping Fan finally passed the introductory trial and became an official disciple of Muni Hall. In other words, from this moment on, ordinary people can be regarded as qualified to cultivate spells and become a real monk.
Nagarjuna Temple, which belongs to the inner hall of the Muni Hall, is parallel to the Zhengqi Hall and the Internal Affairs Hall, and is a place for the disciples of the Muni Hall to pass on their skills and teach their arts, meditate and practice qi. Nagarjuna Temple is located in the mountain behind Muni Hall, with a quiet bearing and excellent scenery, and it is a dream place for countless outer disciples.
Nagarjuna Temple.
Chen Qingyun sat on the ground, facing the ordinary and said, "Seventeen, do you know what kind of place this Nagarjuna Courtyard is?" Hearing this, the ordinary shook his head and said blankly: "I don't know." I've only heard Master and Master say that Nagarjuna-in Temple is a forbidden place in the main hall, and you can't trespass when you're idle. When Chen Qingyun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then why did you come in again?" Pingfan scratched his head and said honestly: "I don't know about this." It was Master who asked me to come in and learn my skills. ”
"It's not about learning skills, it's about learning spells. Chen Qingyun sat up straight and said, "Seventeen, the reason why you were able to enter Nagarjuna Academy is not because you are a disciple of your teacher, so you made an exception, but because you passed the previous trial. If you can't pass the trial, even if you are the master's biological son, you will not have anything to do with it. Do you know why?"
"Senior Sister told me that this trial is for us to train our bodies so that we can learn spells well in the future. "Ordinary Dao.
"It's good to be fit. However, there is a more important reason. Chen Qingyun said: "The road to cultivation is extremely difficult, and talents, opportunities, and famous teachers are all indispensable." Even if you have all these conditions, you don't dare to say that you will definitely succeed. Therefore, the first thing for those who cultivate the truth is not to be impatient and delusional to achieve it overnight. The three-year trial is not only to refine the body, but also to refine the heart. ”
"Refining the heart?"
"Yes, refining the heart. Chen Qingyun said: "Seventeen, do you know? In our Shangqing Palace, there are many disciples who start every year. Every new disciple must go through these three years of trial. It is the Muni Hall, the first seat of the Bodhi Academy, and even the head of the Shangqing Palace, which is inevitable. According to the rules of this sect, only disciples who have passed the trial can enter the inner gate and practice the Fa for immortality, and if they can't get through, there are two ways to choose: the first is to become an outer disciple of this sect, and do some small things for this sect to transmit news and transport goods. Second, it is to leave the main gate, and the path of cultivation will be extinguished from now on. A hundred years later, it will inevitably perish with the clay and disappear from now on. And those who have survived these three years, out of ten, are not even half of them. And the rest of the half are all characters with great perseverance and perseverance. For example, aren't you stubborn enough?" and couldn't help but laugh when he said this. Ordinary was teased by him, and his face couldn't help but blush.
Chen Qingyun started talking, and immediately said: "The cultivation of this sect is actually the same as most of the cultivation sects in the world, and it is also divided into several realms such as Qi Cultivation, Foundation Building, Jindan, Yuanying, and Transforming Gods. Among them, the Qi training period is the most basic, and it is naturally the most important. Let's start with the basic kung fu of practicing qi - induction. The so-called induction is to use breathing as a medium to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth. After a pause, he said, "The following is the basic mantra for practicing qi in this sect, you have to memorize it." Ordinary nodded yes. Just listen to Chen Qingyun said:
"The avenue was first repaired through the nine orifices and the nine orifices were originally in the tail Lu acupoint
First rush through the spring from the bottom of your feet and gradually reach your knees
The knee slowly went to the top of the mud pill at the end of the lug, and the maneuver was urgent
The Secret Whisperer has passed on the Enlightenment, and when he first came, there was no trace left
Over the years, the dust and dirt have been polished and cleaned, and the whole body is bright and bright
Cultivating the truth and remembering how to die with the heart and the feelings of the group are not born
The essence is full of energy, and the spiritual light shines all over the Shenjing
The golden lock passes through the 12 palace rooms of the heavy building of the lower magpie bridge. ”
After Chen Qingyun finished reading the mantra, he explained in detail. For example, what are the "Nine Orifices", "Tail Lu", "Yongquan" and so on. Although it was only sixteen sentences, it took half an hour to speak. Ordinary people can hear it clearly, and then recite the mantra more than a dozen times, and remember it firmly.
Chen Qingyun said again: "Seventeen, these formulas are the foundation of all the spells in this sect, you are all memorized at this time, you don't know the reason, and it is very easy to forget it later." From tomorrow onwards, it must be recited day and night. Do you know?" replied, "Yes!"
Chen Qingyun said: "We who cultivate the truth are cultivating the way of immortals, also known as Jindan Avenue. There are more than 10,000 ways to cultivate the truth in the world, but only Jindan Avenue can live with the whole surname, pass through the subtlety, break through the threshold of life and death, and enter the door of all wonders, so that it is the right path to immortality. In addition, there are many other side doors in the world, they do not cultivate their surnames, they do not consolidate their roots, and their cultivation is only a method of fighting with others, even if they are invincible for a while, they will eventually perish with the rotten soil, and there is no benefit to immortality. As long as you devote yourself to cultivating, even if you have poor qualifications, you can still learn and succeed. As the saying goes: Heaven has no relatives, and he is always with good people. That's what I'm talking about. ”
"At the beginning of the practice, we must follow the steps step by step, and we must not blindly seek speed and try to achieve it overnight. As for the legends of the past dynasties, if someone gets the ancient testament, or what kind of elixir, he can cultivate into an immortal, and he will soar in vain. All of this is nonsense. If it is really so easy to cultivate the true limbs, then looking at the whole world, there are Da Luo Jin Immortals everywhere. Seventeen, do you think that's the truth?" Pingfan nodded and said, "That's true." After a pause, he said again: "Third Senior Brother, is the cultivation method of this sect powerful?"
Chen Qingyun smiled slightly and said, "You are so anxious, you even feel troublesome to say a few more gossips." Pingfan's face turned red and said, "Yes, the junior brother knows that he is wrong." Chen Qingyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's out of the way." If you practice diligently, I won't even have time to be happy, so how can I blame you?" After that, he suddenly smiled and said, "There are all kinds of methods in this world, which are divided into two types: simple and complex. Its simplicity, walking to sit and lie can hold the yuan to practice, its complex, the verification of the process, must have the guidance of the teacher. Those who are simple and simple must have no more than half a sentence or three or four words at most; those who are complex and complex must also be taught by teachers, read the scriptures, realize the Tao, and even learn from heaven and man. If the two are cultivated to the apex at the same time, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Therefore, no matter how concise or complicated the method is, it is always inseparable from the teacher's teaching. It's just that the speed of the cultivation process is slow, but there is a huge difference in the middle. As the saying goes: the true biography immediately points to the avenue, and the false biography cannot be entered for ten years, which is the truth. This method is roughly taught in the Jindan period. Whether you succeed in getting a baby and gaining immortality in the future is related to your own qualifications and diligence. Among the sects, there are thirty or forty disciples in the foundation building period, but the predecessors of the Jindan period are only the master, and the first Qingxu master of the Bodhi Academy. The difficulty of cultivation can be seen from this. ”
When Pingfan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Pingfan will not forget the teachings of his senior brother." Chen Qingyun nodded, didn't speak, crossed his legs, and went straight to his own place. When he saw the ordinary, he didn't dare to slack off, and he also followed Chen Qingyun's example, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and looking inward, and slowly exhaling. To do this breathing kung fu, you have to inhale a breath of true qi from the nasal orifices, gradually transport it to the lower abdomen, and then transport this warm current to the limbs, through the back waist, clamping the spine, all the way up, to the back of the head to stay slightly, bypassing the top of the head Baihui, falling to the center of the eyebrows, in the chest, and returning to the dantian. If you run like this for a week, it is called a week, and a trace of aura has accumulated in your body.
I don't know how long it took, but I gradually felt that my mind was calm, and there seemed to be a faint air flow in the dantian. At this time, it was already dark, and when the door was opened, a cool breeze was blowing in the face, and ordinary people didn't feel cold.
After meditating for two hours, I gradually felt that my hands and feet were sore. I only heard Chen Qingyun say: "Seventeenth junior brother, you can sleep now." Hearing this, Ping Fan nodded, leaned over and fell asleep.
