Chapter 6: The Devil's Path
So startled, Zhang Qian suddenly came back to his senses, only to see where he was still in the deep alley, the thing under his feet turned out to be a canopy boat, the captain was more than three feet, no sound of oars, galloping fast in the sea of clouds, like a miracle, his heart was slightly terrified, he walked to the side of the boat steadily, looked down, only to see that Qingyang County was already outside the mountains, like a rat's nest ant cave, suddenly there was a sense of abruptness.
"Dao Chief, this is a Dao technique?" Zhang Qian followed, and couldn't help but ask.
The man stood at the bow of the boat, his clothes fluttering, and when he heard his inquiry, he shared with him: "This is a spiritual treasure that the patrol envoy of Xiaowei Mountain has spent thirty years to practice, and it is called 'Cloud Boat', just like you can see, when it is used like this, when it is not used, it can be turned into a square inch, and now I have come down the mountain to walk in the world, and he has lent it to me." β
"It's amazing!" Zhang Qian praised sincerely, and then seemed to think about it, and asked tentatively: "I don't know where I have been?"
The man was a little surprised, looked back at him, and asked, "Do you also know the difference between cultivation realms?"
"It's not a secret, in the next Fang Lang who has been doing it for a while, I know some medical science. Zhang Qian replied.
The Taoist nodded when he heard this, and said: "I see, the method of cultivation and medical theory have something in common, and it is not strange that you can know the superficial truths of the entry, so do you know that the cultivation is divided into several realms? Tell me everything you know, I have nothing to do to guide you, and the entrance assessment is also a little more confident, I am your leader, and you will rise to the top in the future, which will be very beneficial to me." β
Nowadays, the Taoist sect rules the world, and the Taoist classics are widely circulated, so some anecdotes in the cultivation world are not secrets.
"Mortal practice, with the technique of breathing and breathing, to regulate the abdomen, so that the essence of the Yuan is born, after the dense sea of qi, the innate true qi, the true qi along the meridians of the size of the Zhoutian, the draw to fill the gap and finally become the Jindan Avenue, can live forever. Zhang Qian said everything he knew, in front of this master, there is really no need to hide his secrets, these are just clear truths, and they can be understood in the Taoist scriptures, but the specific methods are not easy to obtain.
Saying this, it also led him to think of the Dao Yuan technique taught by his father.
The Dao Yuan Technique is a kung fu for cultivating the physical body, which is not the same as the Taoist way of refining qi, but careful reflection has complementary points.
The first layer of Daoyuan is to refine the skin and flesh, but it is different from the horizontal practice of kung fu in secular martial arts, pay attention to a "sex is clumsy, can be hidden", practice to a high level, the body qi and blood are hidden without leakage, if clumsy, the body qi and blood are ten times more than ordinary people, and the essence of refining qi and blood is naturally ten times better than ordinary people, and the cultivation methods in the world, no matter whether they are subtle or clumsy, are all based on refining oneself and refining the qi.
If the essence is abundant, the cultivation of qi refining will definitely be like divine help!
The dragon was born in the abyss, so the abyss has the meaning of origin, and the meaning of the Dao abyss suddenly becomes clear.
Zhang Qianxin understood for a moment that there was suddenly an opportunity in the unknowable future, and this opportunity was left for him by his father.
The black-clothed old man didn't notice the slightest change in Zhang Qian's expression, and was quite satisfied with what he said, and nodded: "I thought you only knew his name, but I didn't know the truth, but it is rare that you understand the matter of cultivation so well, and it also saves the old man a few words, but this is only the tip of the iceberg." β
"The path of cultivation is divided into refining oneself to build a foundation, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and rejecting emptiness, The five realms of refining the void and the Tao, those you said before are just the first two realms, and these two realms can be subdivided into several layers, to build the foundation with the art of breathing, and to the mouth of the jade liquid is considered to be a great success, after the heart of the demons of the catastrophe, the dantian contains the essence of the essence, and the cloud cloth is complete, and then open up the twelve canons in the body, so that the essence flows and turns into the innate true qi, then it enters the realm of refining and refining the qi, and the innate essence also has the distinction of yin and yang, the true qi of the yuan yang is hidden in the kidneys, the true liquid of the yuan yin originates from the sea of hearts, and the qi travels to the heavens, so that it can be reconciled after the wind and fire catastrophe then it becomes the golden pill avenue, and the age is eight hundredγ The old man in black talked eloquently, which was common sense for him.
Zhang Qian listened very carefully, did not dare to miss a trace, and after thinking about it carefully, he also had his own gains.
"That is to say, just refining oneself to build a foundation, refining and refining qi can be divided into a hundred days to build a foundation, the heart is full of demons, the Yuan Jing Cloud Cloth, the hundred bones are unblocked, the Qi travels Zhoutian, the hurdle is filled, the wind and fire catastrophe, and the Jindan Avenue are these realms?" Zhang Qian was slightly speechless, it seemed that the cultivation journey was also extremely difficult.
There are so many difficulties in the two realms, and there are also demons in the heart.
"You're pretty good. The black-clothed old man nodded and smiled, and then continued: "And after the golden pill, there is also the original god, the liver, kidney, heart, lungs, and spleen are the five elements of the human being, and the golden pill is nourished by the method of the five qi dynasty yuan, and then the soul is melted into it, then the golden pill can be transformed into a god, which is the real immortality and immortality. β
Zhang Qian's appetite was aroused, but this old way could not continue to speak, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Seeing him look like this, Lao Dao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said with his sleeves: "You are so ambitious, the way to practice is as difficult as climbing to the sky, being able to enter this gate is a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation, and there are even fewer people who can have great achievements, and it is not easy for ordinary monks to get a trace of the Great Dao?"
"What is the Dao?" Zhang Qian asked.
"The Tao Te Ching has a saying that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things, one of which refers to the Yuan Qi that is born in the void of the Great Dao, so the Tao naturally refers to the innate true qi born from the Yuan Jing after the monk's hundred bones are unblocked. The black-clothed old Taoist explained, and mentioned it in passing, "And the names in the cultivation world are also divided in this way, before the birth of innate true qi, they are all monks, and only after attaining the Tao can they become Taoists." β
"The Demon Sect is also called a Taoist?" Zhang Qian asked in confusion.
"My Demon Sect is also a great avenue, how can I not be called a Taoist?" The black-clothed old Taoist glanced at him, and then said: "The name of the Demon Sect is just a false name imposed on us by those old Daoists who eat ancient things, and we are bent on seeking the Tao, and we don't bother to argue with him, so we also call ourselves Demon Sect." β
"Then what is the difference between the Demon Sect and the Dao Sect?" Zhang Qian continued.
"Do you know that there is a sentence in the Tao Te Ching that explains the difference between heaven and man, what are the two?" asked the old man in black.
Zhang Qianyan thought about it for a while, the Tao Te Ching is widely circulated in the world, and its status has long been above the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, even the illiterate rural reckless man can recite it backwards, and he can be exempted from the annual poll tax, he is naturally no exception, and after a little pondering, he knows which sentence the old Tao refers to, and then said: "The Taoist can refer to 'the way of heaven, which makes up for the deficiency and makes up for the deficiency; 'That sentence?'
"Yes. Lao Dao nodded, quite satisfied with Zhang Qian's answer.
"It's not so much the difference between Dao and Demons, it's as the difference between heaven and man. Lao Dao stroked his beard slightly, and said eloquently: "The Taoist Sect is ordered by Heaven to do the Tao for the Heavens, and naturally does not dare to ask for half a point from between heaven and earth, but my Demon Sect regards itself as a human being, and does not refuse such subsections, so it naturally wants to grab all kinds of vitality from between heaven and earth, so it is different from the Taoist Sect in terms of cultivation methods, and the realm of self-refining and refining qi begins to deviate. β
"Taoism practices qi, pays attention to the ether as the tripod, the Tai Chi as the furnace, and the purity as the Danji ......"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Qian listened in a daze, not quite understanding.
The black-clothed old Taoist was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that what he said was a little mysterious, not that ordinary people like Zhang Qian could understand, so he changed some simple words: "To put it simply, it is to make a car behind closed doors, Taoism pays attention to the unity of heaven and man, and believes that the human body itself is a small world, and the innate true qi is born from the body, and there is no need to ask for it like heaven and earth. β
"What about the Demon Sect Sect?" Zhang Qian asked.
"Although this sect has its wonders, but a person can only live for a hundred years, I can't wait for his kung fu to wear through the drop of water, no matter how pure the true qi is, no matter how stable the realm is, after all, it can't withstand the erosion of the years, and after a hundred years, it will turn into a dry bone, what kind of Tao do you still cultivate?" The black-clothed old man said disdainfully, and then he will start the Demon Sect Method, "My Demon Sect Method, as long as the hundred bones are unblocked, you can grab all kinds of vitality from heaven and earth, and refine it into your own true qi." β
"That sounds like a lot of effort. Zhang Qian nodded approvingly.
"Although the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is mixed and impure, as long as the Dao heart is firm, what does it matter?" said the old Dao, quite fearless.
After saying this, Zhang Qian's heart gradually clarified the difference between the two sects of Dao and Demon, and the meaning of resistance in his heart naturally ceased to exist, and at the end he asked some trivial miscellaneous matters: "The question of the long realm asked before, it seems that I haven't been informed yet, and I don't know the name of the long, how to match it?"
"Seventy-five years of poor Taoist practice, has reached the realm of Qi Xing Zhoutian, the road number Qinghuai. The old Taoist flicked his sleeves and turned to look at the sea of clouds in the distance, only to see that the mountains in the distance were becoming clearer, it turned out that the cloud boat had been slowly landing, and there was a Taoist temple built in the depths of the valley, which was difficult to reach and very deserted.
"It's here. The old Taoist sleeves flicked, Zhang Qian only felt that there was nowhere to focus under his feet, as if there was a soft breeze to hold himself, the whole person flew off the side of the ship, towards the valley, looking back at the cloud boat from himself farther and farther away, to carefully distinguish, only to know that the distance between the two has changed, but the cloud boat shrank out of thin air, and in an instant it disappeared into the sleeve of the Qinghuai Taoist, and he himself stepped on the breeze and slowly descended.
Standing firm in front of that Taoist temple, Zhang Qian looked up and saw that this Taoist temple was far from what he thought.
"This is the Xiaowei Mountain Cave Heaven?" Zhang Qian looked at the temple buildings under the cover of the lofty mountains, although the area is not small, and the cultivation is quite elegant, but it is really difficult to be the magic gate holy land, the Daomen cave is really not much better than the city god temple outside Qingyang County, and the incense is far inferior.
