After about half a stick of incense, I had reached a high place, but I saw a picturesque sea of ??clouds in front of me. In the distance, there was a giant peak rising up into the sky and a group of abrupt mountains. The colorful mist on it was wrapped in three rings, which seemed to be both illusion and reality. . . "Li Xuan" couldn't help but feel shaken. He turned around and looked down the mountain. He saw only a haze, and he couldn't see other people anywhere: even the corner of the Taoist temple was hidden in the smoke. The red sun above the head shines on the clouds and mist, reflecting the brilliant glow, which is really beautiful. 'Li Xuan' was in a daze when he felt a sudden rush of wind in his ears, and the clouds and mist covered his eyes. After a while, his feet shook slightly, and he heard Wuchen say in his ear: "This is it." When he came back to his senses,' Only then did Li Xuan realize that he was standing on a platform in the middle of the mountain. Behind him were clouds and mist on both sides, and he could see the cliffs. In front of him was a stone wall covered with vines and vines. Looking carefully, he saw that the stone wall was made up of two doors about ten feet high. It is composed of stone gates. Through the stone gates, one can feel a solemn and auspicious atmosphere. When 'Li Xuan' stood firm, Wuchen slowly walked to the stone door and bowed down respectfully. Then he stretched out his hands and made a soft sound. A faint white light was seen on his hands, and he said With a dull "crack" sound, two stone doors weighing more than 10,000 kilograms slowly opened with his push. Because of his previous experience, 'Li Xuan' was not surprised. He just stared at the gradually expanding hole and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. As soon as the stone door opened, a purple light came out from inside, and when it was halfway open, the mist inside could be faintly seen. At Wuchen¡¯s signal, ¡®Li Xuan¡¯ calmed down a little and entered the cave with his crutch. This is a small cave. The purple mist is filled inside and the source is unknown. It is square in shape, two feet long and about ten feet wide and high. The facilities are simple. It should be said that there are no facilities, because the entire cave only has a small area near the back wall. There is a stone table with a purple brocade box placed in the center. Next to it is a purple air ball the size of a palm, which is slowly rotating. It is confusing and unclear, and there is nothing else; although It's so simple, but it's spotless everywhere. On the wall of the cave opposite the stone gate, there are two lines of a poem: "This thing is born in nature, without roots or origin. It is natural. If you can recognize the true wonder, it will never be born or destroyed, and it will cut off thousands of fate." The inscription "Baimuzi" question". After reading the book on the stone wall,. Li Xuan secretly thought: "What a loud tone! I think that the real person didn't know the mystery at the beginning, so he sighed and left a poem to inform future generations!" The two came to the stone case, Wuchen pointed at it The ball of purple air smiled and reminded: "Brother Li, this is your chance!" Looking along what Wuchen was pointing, he saw an oval-shaped ball of deep purple air, slightly away from the stone table. At first glance, it looks like a leaf of Zhicao growing on it, and it looks like a dead thing. However, if you taste it carefully, it seems to contain a little bit of agility in the slow rotation, which is like a dream and an illusion. In reality, you can't help but feel it. Produces an ethereal feeling. "Looking at the air mass in front of him," Li Xuanqi was slightly stunned. He looked left and right and couldn't see any connection between the air mass on the stone table and the Taoist book. He hesitated and looked back at Wuchen. Wuchen smiled and said: "Haha! Brother Li, don't hesitate, just try it. The mystery of Taoism is beyond what you and I can imagine now. The appearance is not necessarily the inner phenomenon, and what the eyes see is not necessarily true. ! You have to look at it carefully and experience it! " Taking a deep breath and staring at the purple air mass close at hand, 'Li Xuan' suddenly felt inexplicable anxiety. He slowly stretched out his hand, but stopped midway. He stopped: the purple air mass in front of him was like a mystery waiting for him to uncover. While he was looking forward to it, he was also a little worried - at this time, he really felt like he was afraid of returning home empty-handed. Seeing ¡®Li Xuan¡¯s¡¯ hesitation, Wuchen said from the sidelines: 1. Heaven¡¯s heart is vast, and people have their own opportunities. You can¡¯t force it! " Li Xuanqi's hand slowly approached the air mass. The moment he touched the purple air, the hot air in his chest and abdomen seemed to be stimulated by something. It suddenly became manic, like a runaway horse. The wild horse jumped back and forth in his body, and at the same time, a strange feeling came from his fingertips. Before he could react, he saw a dazzling purple light burst in front of him, shaking him subconsciously. He covered his eyes with his hands. Li Xuan only felt a bright light in front of him and couldn't see anything clearly. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a buzzing in his ears. Suddenly, a cold feeling penetrated from the center of his eyebrows to his chest. In the Niwan Xuan Palace deep in Yintang, at the same time, the heat in his chest also calmed down. In a trance, his consciousness seemed to be attracted by an invisible force. The next moment, a huge space entered. It suddenly appeared in front of him, and he saw the surroundings were gray, like smoke and steam, and like turbulent sea waves, and it was endless, and he couldn't distinguish between east, west, north and south, just like chaos. "Li Xuan was at a loss when he saw the front." ?The air flowed billowingly, and soon formed a Tao scroll in the void. The scroll was filled with colorful clouds and full of auspicious energy. There were three words on it: But I don't know why and I can't see it clearly. Indistinctly, each character is more than ten feet in size, with eight horns. There is a faint purple light hanging down from each corner, and the fragrance is uncertain. After half a minute, several pictures slowly appeared in the void, but they were blocked by heavy fog and could not be seen clearly. Faintly, the first picture is of a herding boy, holding a scroll in his hand, sitting on a big rock and shouting at the old cattle next to him, under the blue sky and white clouds, it is so leisurely. The second painting depicts a grown-up shepherd boy. But when you see the wedding night and the gold medal inscription, the shepherd boy is as rich as the world, full of ambition and proud of the spring breeze. The whole picture is full of colors, which makes people feel inexplicable. empathy. In the third painting, the wind changed, and I saw a bleak autumn wind, lone wild geese flying south, several barren graves on the rocky hills, and a few wild dogs looking for food in the deep grass. Seeing this, purple energy gradually filled the air. No matter how hard 'Li Xuan' tried, he could no longer see the scene clearly In an instant, there was a loud bang, the screen disappeared, and countless tadpole-sized words appeared in the void like slides. . Before ¡®Li Xuan¡¯ had time to see clearly, the purple light faded away, the characters disappeared, and returned to a purple mist, floating quietly in front of ¡®Li Xuan¡¯¡¯s eyes. Purple mist was billowing around him, and falling stars were falling one after another. The purple light incense seemed to be spiritual, as if it was demonstrating something to him, but it was not clear: 'Li Xuan' quietly stared at the purple mist in front of him, and his mind kept thinking. After recalling the pictures he had just seen, he was deeply immersed in them. He was awakened by an anxious voice: "Daojuanni? Why are you missing?" Wuchen had a look of astonishment on his face and took three steps at once. He walked to the stone desk in two steps and looked up, down, left and right. "Taoist Priest! That thing seems to have entered my mind" 'Li Xuan''s headless and tailless words shocked Wuchen again. He looked up and down at 'Li Xuan' with a pair of strange eyes. Xuan', he said after half a minute: "Weird, weird! This is something that has never happened before! What should we do? Hey whether it is a disaster or a blessing depends on your future fortune!" Wu Chenzi said to 'Li Xuan' at this time The title was also changed to intimidate fellow Taoist. Wuchen's words made 'Li Xuan' stunned for a moment, and then he recalled the scene he had just seen in his mind, and suddenly felt that there were a thousand layers of fog in his heart, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable and confused. Feeling unhappy, he immediately made an excuse and said: "Master Taoist, I just had an enlightenment. I wonder if I can use this place to chew on it and think about it." , the power of the restriction will probably dissipate: Taoist friends, you can practice here quietly. From now on, I will send someone to deliver meals every other day. If there is an emergency, you only need to blow this thing three times and I will arrive. " After Wuchen finished speaking, he took out a translucent half-foot piccolo from his arms and handed it over with both hands, with a hint of respect in his expression. Taking the piccolo, Li Xuan looked at it and put it in his arms and said: "Then I have to thank Taoist Master." Wuchen Jishou said: "Fellow Taoists don't need to be polite. There is a hierarchy of people who have heard the Tao. Those who are masters are teachers, and those who are poor will be the future." I also hope that when my Taoist friends study the Xuan Sutra, they will not forget today¡¯s mission and make a transformation!¡± Li Xuanqi smiled and said: ¡°How dare you, but what you have achieved is all thanks to the Taoist Master¡¯s work.¡± , Wuchen said happily, "The poor Taoist will go first." After saying that, he cupped his hands and disappeared outside the cave. Because this cave is located on a cliff in the middle of the mountain, it is difficult to find animals, and it is also difficult for ordinary people to reach. From time to time, the mountain wind blows through, bringing up a few fallen leaves, giving this lonely cave in the mountains a desolate atmosphere. Seeing Wuchen's disappearing figure, 'Li Xuan' slowly withdrew his gaze, came to sit cross-legged in front of the stone case, closed his eyes and meditated, and gradually entered that mysterious world again. What he had just seen were just fragments. So at this time, he was eager to understand the mystery and solve the confusion in his mind. His consciousness came to the Niwan Shrine again, and the mist was still billowing in front of his eyes. The purple light around the air mass was hesitant, but those wonderful images no longer appeared. After staring at it for a long time, I felt the void rippling, spreading to endless places like water waves. Just when Li Xuan thought that the image was about to appear, he discovered that it was actually those densely packed tadpole texts. Disappointed, he couldn't help but read it carefully. For a moment, he felt like entering the vast sea of ??smoke and clouds, with no cliffs in the distance, and everything in it. The content involved is mysterious, subtle, all-encompassing, and boundless. The further you go, the more obscure and difficult it is to understand. The opening chapter is called "Jin Dan Xuan Yao", and the name of "Li Xuan" involved in this chapter is also known as the volume of ascending to immortality; the middle chapter is called "Three Yuan Heart Mirror". Seeing this, 'Li Xuan' was a little confused. The title of the next chapter was "Baozhuan Tianzhang", which made his head as big as a bucket and like falling into five fogs After three chapters, there was another one "Tao Fa Zong"."", which contains countless mysterious and eccentric Taoist methods, formations, weapon methods, and escape methods Although it is dazzling and complicated, it is concise and comprehensive, and is much easier to understand than the three volumes of Xuan Jing, 'Li Xuan' The more I read, the more enthusiastic I became, and when I read the wonderful things, I felt eager to try it. As a result, my heart gradually calmed down, and I lost all my previous disappointments. There is a paragraph at the end of the Mysterious Sutra, which is to the effect of opening the brocade box. The method, if you look closely, is just a spell, and there is also a paragraph about the refining and use of the elixir. After an unknown amount of time, when 'Li Xuan' slowly opened his eyes, he felt a sense of hunger. When I came, I was about to play the flute, but I saw a bamboo basket at the gate of the stream, filled with food. Looking outside the cave, it was still blue sky and white sun, and I was surprised, "Could it be that this person must have been gone for a day!" " After eating a little bit of the food in the bamboo basket, 'Li Xuan' began to sort out the training steps of "Jin Dan Xuan Yao" in his mind. Because this is the first step, he always tries to figure out any obscure and difficult points. He had to put a lot of effort into it and never give up until it was clear and transparent. At this moment, he was deeply grateful to Wuchen. If he hadn't forced himself to read those boring Taoist scriptures all day long, he would have never stopped. At this time, I also had nothing but no way to start. After some further study, I suddenly felt that there were many references in it, and every time I found a subtle point, I was happy. Along the way, I was fascinated by Li Xuan. 7 I was mesmerized by it and obsessed with it The cultivation system recorded in the "Jindan Xuanyao" is roughly consistent with what Wuchen said before. It also starts from "qi refining" and goes through "qi transformation", "spiritual transformation", Several processes such as "Returning to the Void" and "Yuanzhao" are used to achieve the purpose of peering into the way of heaven, but the exquisiteness and subtleties are far beyond the imagination of Wuchen and others. It is recorded as follows: The most basic principles of the Qi Refining Period The preliminary method is the "circulation method" that can strengthen the body and stimulate the human body's potential. At the beginning, it focuses on refining the mind and cultivating the spirit. The spirit moves the spirit and controls the energy. Wherever the spirit goes, the qi will also go, and the spirit moves the qi, not the mind. Wherever the spirit goes, the meridians will open automatically. This stage is based on the control of the two meridians of Ren and Du, and pays attention to holding the yuan and guarding. First, refine and nourish the essence, collect the innate Hunyuan Qi, open the three gates and nine orifices, and then replenish it in the future, then open the Huangting Divine Gate and return to the innate nature. It is said that the Divine Gate is also called the Ming Gate or the Navel Gate. After a person is born, this innate door has been closed. If this door can be reopened, the person's body, mind, and heaven can be recreated, and people can steal the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, and the exchange of internal and external true energy can also occur through this door. From now on, if you keep your mind in the center and breathe continuously, as time goes by, the fetal breath will appear, and the vitality will be filled with itself. This body is already extraordinary, and naturally has some incredible magical powers. It can crack stone tablets, crack talismans and seals to recruit people, and it is not a matter of rejuvenation. Only then can we return to the true state, and get a first glimpse of the golden elixir stage: also known as the golden elixir stage: refining and refining the swallow when the divine door is open. Note: The true energy is in the human being, not completely. The body, the human body is limited but nature is infinite. Since the divine door is opened, man and nature will have a channel for exchange. Over time, they can become elixirs. , the soul is hidden and the soul is destroyed, the essence is condensed, the mind is harmonious, the skin is refreshed, and gradually condenses and gathers at any time with the day, without substance, the essence is formed, and the sacred womb is formed. At this time, the alchemy path will be completed in the next seven days. Return to the Nine to refine it, return to the origin and return to the essence, temper the elixir fire, and become the golden elixir. Only at this point can we say, "My destiny is up to me and not up to God. It transcends the power of creation of the gods. It can drive the universe without the help of any magic weapon." Infused with various energies, thunder and lightning can be emitted with every movement of hands and feet, and can travel between the five elements, summon gods and ghosts, and call for wind and rain. There is a poem that goes: If you want to ensure the immortality of the Grain God, you must establish a foundation based on the mysterious female. True gold fills the golden chamber, but a single pearl will never leave. Transformation period: after the power of the elixir Returning period: after the appearance of the soul Perfect period: after the soul is stabilized In this way, 'Li Xuan' studied the Mysterious Sutra every day in the cave, hungry and thirsty, after seven days After a while, he finally understood the opening chapter thoroughly, and at the same time, he did not forget to add some things that he thought were useful. As a result, the original Alchemy Sutra was a bit different, but 'Li Xuan' But he doesn't take it seriously. In his opinion, only what is useful is valuable. People cannot stick to what their ancestors left for hundreds of years. They still have to boldly try where there is room for improvement. For example, he didn't really agree with the fusion of yin and yang mentioned in the Alchemy Sutra, so here he added his own opinions on that. The understanding of the word "yi" is that the so-called Tao produces one, which is yin and yang. Others take the method of yin and yang, but he takes one yang, first one and then two, or first two and then one. Between the choices, he respects his own ideas! Stretching, the brocade box on the stone table came into view. As he smiled, a spell was blurted out. As soon as he finished reciting it, he saw three purple awns appearing on the brocade box. With a "pop" sound, it opened on its own and returned it. Before 'Li Xuan' could see what was inside clearly, a strange fragrance that penetrated the heart and lungs hit his nostrils, making people immediately feel clear and comfortable after smelling it. At this time, I looked carefully and saw a grape-sized egg lying quietly inside the box.The elixir is round and shiny. I think the strange fragrance comes from this elixir. Seeing this, 'Li Xuan' didn't hesitate, gently pinched the elixir with two fingers, and put it into his mouth without hesitation. As soon as the elixir left, the box closed automatically and turned into a line of green smoke and dissipated in the air;' Li Xuan' was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was probably because of the passage of time that once the sacred object was separated, it would no longer have the power to support it. When you take the elixir, you will feel the fragrant fragrance in your mouth. It turns into a clear spring in an instant, as warm as cold, as mellow as cheese. It slides down instantly. Your mouth is full of fragrance and your whole body is happy. It has never been seen before; 'Li Xuan' is complaining that he has not tried it. When I tasted it, I felt that my stomach was hot like fire and started to churn. I was stunned for a moment and knew that the power of the medicine was showing. I quickly turned my heart to the sky and followed the method contained in the Alchemy Sutra. In the dark, 'Li Xuan' only felt a stream of hot air rising from the Huangting of Dantian to meet the hot air staying in the chest and abdomen, and then moved inadvertently, passing through the central channel, passing through Yuzhen, Baihui, Yintang, Tanzhong, Then he passed through the perineum and Jiaji from Dantian. For a while, the meridians were fully opened, and the skin, bones, flesh and internal organs were like nectar. Gradually, a little bit of true yang in his body grew stronger, like thunder and lightning, but his consciousness was gone. Silence, total concentration, lingering, suddenly there was thunder in his head, and after a bang, a beam of light went straight into the top door in the void, shining down on the Huangting. In an instant, he only felt that the whole body was bright, his heart was empty, and his energy was self-generating; The essence of life is condensed but not dispersed. Under the pull of the qi machine, the vitality moves internally, and a warm current slowly hovers in the Huangting Divine Chamber (To be continued)
