Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

However, Zhang Xuanqing finally thought of where his sense of familiarity came from, not because he had seen Sun Simiao's method of practicing qi, but Sun Simiao's method of practicing qi, which had a lot of similarities with the Neidan sect that was developed after the Tang Dynasty.

Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no Neidan sect in this world. Jin Danzhi said that it is to take Dan bait, and also use lead, mercury and other things to refine a "Jindan" to serve, which is called "Wai Dan faction", also called "Danding faction".

It wasn't until Lu Dongbin was born that there was gradually a theory of Neidan in the world, and then Wang Chongyang was able to spread the Dharma and establish the Quanzhen Sect, and the law of Neidan was widely practiced in the world.

The Quanzhen Sect has five ancestors and seven truths, of which the five ancestors are divided into the five ancestors of the south and the five ancestors of the north. The five ancestors of the south were Zhang Boduan, Xinglin Cuixuan, Shi Tai, Daoguang Zixian, Xue Shi, Chen Nan, and Qiongxuan Zixu, Bai Yuchan, respectively, the five ancestors of the north, were Emperor Xuanfu of Donghua, Zhong Liquan, Emperor of Zhengyang, Lu Dongbin, Emperor of Chunyou, Liu Haichan, and Emperor Chongyang, and Emperor Chongyang, and Qizhen were the seven apprentices of Wang Chongyang, namely Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer.

The few sentences that Zhang Xuanqing read before were the "Theory of Cultivating Immortals" in "Ziqing Finger Xuanji" written by Bai Yuchan, the fifth ancestor of the Southern Mountains. Bai Yu Toad is also known as Ge Changgeng, the teacher serves Chen Nan, legend has it that Chen Nan often uses soil to infiltrate the water, pinched into a small pill to save people and cure diseases, all of them are effective, and people call it "Chen Ni Pill" at the time. Those few words were what Bai Yuchan said to Bai Yuchan when he asked Chen Niwan how many ways to cultivate immortals and how many methods to alchemy.

But...... That's not right!

Zhang Xuanqing sat on the sofa, holding the thick Daozang, his brows furrowed, and he muttered: "According to Chen Niwan, the upper, middle, and lower three grades of the Dan method, the upper grade Dan method is tall, the middle grade Dan method is ordinary, and the lower grade Dan method is completely garbage, not next to each other at all, and there is no need for fellow practitioners at all." But Sun Simiao taught me the method of practicing qi, first meditating into concentration, never forgetting the machine, refining the spirit in the fixed state, condensing the innate one Qi, which is completely in line with the Shangpin Dan method said by Chen Niwan, with the spirit and soul as the medicinal materials, the living place and lying for the fire, and the quiet and natural use; and then through the nine orifices of the human body, washing the five internal organs and six internal organs, and conforming to the Zhongpin Dan method, with the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys as medicinal materials, the years, months and days as the fire, and the use of the Yuan Shouyi; Closing the throat and rubbing it is the heat, and thinking about lifting and lowering is the application...... If you go from the bottom to the middle and then to the top grade, it will be forgotten, but Sun Simiao is completely reversed, first the top grade, then the middle grade, and finally the lower grade, isn't this completely redundant!"

"No, it's not just redundant, it's even self-defeating...... But...... Is what Chen Niwan said necessarily right?"

Zhang Xuanqing was entangled in this for a while.

As he came into contact with Taoism more and more, and the words of the fire dragon real person that day, he became more and more unconvinced by the writings of Taoist people.

Strictly speaking, Taoism was not founded by Lao Tzu, who was only a Taoist figure and never put forward the concept of religion in his life. The person who founded Taoism and put forward the concept of "Taoism" was Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty at the earliest.

The idiom "Zhang Guan Li Dai" refers to Zhang Daoling's earliest creation of Taoism, but later generations do not say that Lao Tzu Li Er is the patriarch of Taoism, and the vocabulary derived from this.

Taoism is divided into five factions, namely the Jishan School, the Classic School, the Fulu School, the Danding School, and the Zhanyan School. Among them, the classic school is actually a Taoist person, who does not worship the gods and does not practice secret methods, and studies the truth of Taoism, which is not a system at all with Taoism.

The rest of the Jishan faction and the Fu Gong faction are roughly a family, the most famous Fu Gong faction is also the Maoshan faction, also called the Shangqing faction, and the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi Dao, Ge Soap Mountain are the same as the three major Taoist Fu Zong faction, known as the three mountain Fu Zong, after the Yuan Dynasty returned to the Zheng along.

Zhengyi disciples first need to "confer urns" when they enter the sect, and "urns" usually refer to the records of the heavenly official gongcao, the names of the immortals of the ten directions, the summoning of gods, and the performance of exercises, and it is also the "immortal book" that accumulates merits and ascends to the immortal world.

Then the problem comes, even Lao Tzu, who was regarded as the Taishang Laojun, failed to become an immortal, but founded the Hidden Immortal Sect, and spent his life looking for immortals. Where did the fairy world come from? Where did the Tianguan Gong Cao come from? Where did the gods come from? Obviously, these two major factions are nonsense!

Speaking of the Zhan faction, to put it bluntly, it is a school of divination and fortune-telling, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty can be counted in this, and the "Tui Bei Tu" co-authored by the two is indeed a bit mysterious, Zhang Xuanqing has not studied it less, so he is a little skeptical about this faction.

As for the last Danding faction, it has been said before, before the Tang Dynasty, there was no Neidan in the world. The Danding faction just took some cinnabar, mercury, and lead mixed to refine poison, and ate a proper dead person, can this thing be believed?

That is, after the appearance of the Neidan faction, the Danding faction paid attention to the body as the tripod and the body as the Dan, which restored a bit of prestige. Compared with Sun Simiao, who had already seen the results of his cultivation, Zhang Xuanqing felt that Chen Niwan's words were also a little unreliable.

"Maybe there were really immortals in this world, but that had to be in ancient times, otherwise in the name of Lao Tzu, he would not have searched for immortals all his life, but in the end he found nothing. ”

However, whether it is Zhang Daoling or Lu Dongbin, they are all after Lao Tzu, and they regard Lao Tzu as their ancestors, and their achievements are obviously not as good as Lao Tzu, and it is obviously too much to say that they have become immortals. ”

"Maybe their inheritance system is fake, after all, the establishment of religion or something, it must be indispensable to compete for fame and fortune, which is contrary to the true meaning of Taoism, and what they say is really unconvincing. ”

What's more, even if their practice is true, it is difficult to determine how much they can pass down and whether the things that have been passed down have been changed, and how true and how false they are. ”

"Judging from Sun Simiao's performance, there is no doubt that there is indeed a cultivation technique in the world, compared to the inheritance that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, it is still Sun Simiao's reliability. ”

Although Sun Simiao also said that his qi practice method can only be regarded as a health preservation technique, cultivated to the extreme, at most it is detoxification and beauty, and all diseases will not be born, but it is the simple effect that can be seen by the eyes, but it is more convincing than becoming an immortal. ”

"Unless...... What the fire dragon real people said is all fake!"

Zhang Xuanqing thought of the end, and inevitably thought of the fire dragon real person again.

His previous speculations were all based on the fact that Lao Tzu was not an immortal, and this sentence was said by a real person with a fire dragon.

Although the fire dragon real person has also lived for hundreds of years, judging from his situation at the time, he didn't even have the most basic freedom, and the reason why he didn't die was because he relied on the Youxian Mirror.

So the question is, since there is a fairy mirror, why can't there be immortals in the world?

But the fairy mirror is handed down by Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not an immortal, Zhang Daoling, Lu Dongbin, Bai Yuchan, these descendants can become immortals?

It's an unsolvable knot, unless it's a fire dragon who lies.

But judging from the situation that the fire dragon real person appeared at that time and the scene of his later death, there is no need or reason for the fire dragon real person to lie to Zhang Xuanqing.

"Forget it, what do you want to do so much, there are so many classics in the Taoist collection, it is obviously true and false, and it is difficult to refute. Combined with the difference between Taoism and Taoism, even if there was a practice in ancient times, those who passed it on to doctors were more in line with the situation at that time than those who passed it on to Taoism. After all, doctors have existed since ancient times, and Taoism was completely created by Zhang Daoling, and Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, in which the art of Fu Seal is still the ancient witchcraft absorbed. Since ancient times, witch doctors have not been separated, and people in Taoism have studied medicine more, and it is entirely because of this sentence that later a saying was derived that Taoist doctors do not separate families. In any case, Sun Simiao's words are more reliable than Chen Niwan's. ”

"Besides, Bai Yuchan himself also said: 'A word and a half sentence will be clear, why use thousands of Dan books', obviously knowing that there are no hypocrisies and nonsense in Taoist books. And Mencius also has the saying that 'it is better to believe in a book than to have no book', the truth in the world is the same, Bai Yuchan can say this sentence, obviously not only a Taoist cultivator, but also a Taoist person who studies the truth, and his words should still have some credibility. But despite this, in the face of Sun Simiao's visible effect, everyone knows how to choose. ”

Zhang Xuanqing thought about it in the end, and finally decided to practice according to the method described by Sun Simiao, but Chen Niwan's three-grade alchemy method could not be left alone.

"After all, my contact with Taoism has been short, and I have just learned the method of practicing qi, and I can't tell the truth from the false, so I don't dare to practice without permission. However, Sun Simiao has been in the Tao since he was a child, and the method of practicing qi has been cultivated to a great extent, so he can't see some of the clues. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he will copy all the Taoist books after the early Tang Dynasty one by one, regardless of whether he is true or false, let Sun Simiao take a look, maybe he can study something useful. ”

"There are also Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice, a "Push Back Map" has been passed down through the ages, and it should have some real skills, and I have to contact it if I have the opportunity in the future. Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanqing smiled proudly, making it feel too good for historical celebrities to work for themselves.

decided to practice the method of qi cultivation passed on by Sun Simiao, but Zhang Xuanqing did not practice immediately, but continued to look at the Daozang with his hand.

Although Taoism has the saying "a word and a half sentence can be understood, why use thousands of Dan books", but there is also a saying that "the origin of wealth is like a dream, and there are no immortals who do not read".

The two may seem contradictory, but they are not so contradictory.

The former is talking about the truth of passing on a sentence, the false transmission of thousands of books, and the truth that it is better to believe in books than to have no books, while the latter is about the importance of reading, and if you don't read and don't know how to read, you won't be able to understand even if there is a real collection of immortal cultivation books in front of you.

Everyone knows the conduct of the ancients, especially Taoism, all kinds of hidden words, the same thing and different factions can change a hundred ways, if you don't read more books and practice blindly, let alone do useless work, it is good to practice immortal.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xuanqing did not dare to believe in Chen Niwan's three-grade alchemy method.

Not to mention cultivation, even if you practice martial arts, take Jin Yong's martial arts novels as an example, the protagonists in them can also read and hyphenate words. For example, Zhang Wuji studied with his parents since he was a child, and then stayed with Zhang Sanfeng for a few years, and finally got the "Jiuyang Divine Skill" before he could practice;

is in some modern online novels, the protagonist doesn't need to understand anything, and he can become a master if he gets a cheats, but Zhang Xuanqing thinks it's all nonsense: Take "Nine Yin True Scripture" as an example, if you don't understand anything, even if you get the original copy of the Nine Yin True Scripture, you have to practice the Nine Yin False Scripture, and end up with Ouyang Feng.
