Old Chen shook his head and said: I am just suspicious. If I haven’t reached the level of Bodhisattva, can I tell them that there are any mistakes?It's very difficult.
After he carefully studied the old techniques and sorted out some contexts from ancient times to the present, he found some problems from them, but if he really wanted him to point out what was wrong with the immortals, it would be a bit difficult for Lao Chen.
But being able to have doubts and pick out possible missteps is enough to prove that Lao Chen has been trying his best. Of course, this is also related to the fact that today is different from the past.
The ancients were influenced by the background of the times and had their own limitations.
Now is an era of information explosion, with black technology emerging one after another, and violent changes. With such baptism, Old Chen is at the forefront of the current field of old art, his vision is indeed beyond the inherent scope.
Wang Xuan asked him to tell all the problems. This is very important to him. In the future, he will inevitably encounter some big pits from ancient people.
Regardless of whether the ancients were dead or not, the traps and situations left behind were still in play and must be strictly prevented.
In the pre-Qin period, the roots and methods were the main ones, which was extremely splendid, and has influenced to this day, benefiting all those who embarked on the old arts.Lao Chen was neither anxious nor slow, and he clarified the meridians.
The so-called root method involves qi collection, meditation, internal nourishment, etc., which has an immeasurable value for improving physical fitness and strengthening the spirit and is irreplaceable.
The alchemist used the root method to enter the interior, which directly led to the qualitative change of the old technique, crossing the natural barrier, truly sublimating and transcending.
Another great achievement of the alchemist is to refine alchemy, which mainly burns minerals, tempers the original liquid, extracts essence, and wants to obtain the last elixir to survive and die.During that period, there were few records of minerals for alchemy, but they were definitely rare treasures and divine objects in the world.
Wang Xuan was surprised. Didn’t the alchemist refining medicine to make pills?
Lao Chen said: In the early days, it was indeed to refine secret ores, melt the divine objects falling from the sky, etc., and not to obtain herbs.
It was not until later, after the inner site, that the alchemist began to consider smelting those rare medicines!
The so-called heavenly medicine is not the medicine in the present world. Lao Chen mentioned a record last time, forcing a rare medicine. Looking back, it may be in the sunset in the sky that is crowded and over the world.
It can be said that the alchemist discovered two secret paths, namely the inner land and the heavenly medicine, which led to a qualitative leap in the old technique and towards the extreme glory.
At that time, which of the most powerful alchemist had few divine beasts or holy birds?When you go out, you will always be a chariot that is pulled by a chariot or sitting on the back of an immortal bird to travel to the East China Sea to visit friends.
When later generations looked through this part of the history of the old arts, they were all amazed and it was difficult to reproduce that kind of wonder.
Because the divine birds and beasts in this world were almost captured and captured and killed by the supreme alchemist.
At that time, a group of top alchemists embarked on the road to immortality and received thunder bombardment. However, as these people evolved one after another, the brilliance of alchemists reached the end and ended suddenly.
Old Chen lamented that the alchemist had just passed his heyday and it became dim, forcing him to have various doubts and associations.
Combined with what happened to you now and what I have experienced, I feel that the water in the interior is deep, mysterious and a bit scary.In addition, it is too difficult to find the heavenly medicine and is extremely difficult to pick.Both secret paths were gradually blocked, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of the alchemist.
Old Chen expressed his guess and said: So, later Emperor Qin asked the alchemist Xu Fu to pick illusion medicine, that is, the medicine of heaven. He could only go to sea to avoid disaster. He probably knew that he could not find it during this period.
Emperor Qin wanted to live forever and wanted to seek immortal medicine, but it was impossible to succeed at that stage.
I suspect that some of the big priests among the alchemists had an accident, so they declined, and even the alchemists who had become immortals might have realized something in the end.Old Chen is extremely serious, but unfortunately, his level of realm is too far away from those people. Even if he read all the ancient books, he could only have some guesses and no evidence was found.
Wang Xuan frowned. Many things had happened in the past of the old art road, giving people a feeling of fog everywhere. They need to keep getting stronger in order to slowly get closer and explore.
Lao Chen continued to say: When the alchemist ended, they had already begun to accept the herbs of the present world. When refining alchemy, they would add some of them and mixed them with minerals to extract them.It was at this time that Taoism took over that in addition to special gold and stone, they began to add a large amount of zidiang grass, etc.
According to Lao Chen's understanding, the times have changed, and later generations have discovered certain problems and began to expand into other fields.
Taoism first attached great importance to Xinzhai, that is, the inner self is clear and quiet, and the mind is the main focus, and the accumulation of spiritual energy is the accumulation.In Taoist scriptures, it is believed that the great way is so empty and quiet, and it is expected that the great way is combined with the heart.
Speaking of this, he sighed: However, these are too high and far, and the requirements for the mental and spiritual fields are too high, so many people cannot get started.Just imagine, who is the person who proposed this lofty path?Lao Zhuang Ah!The "Tao Te Ching" mentions "to attain extreme emptiness and keep quiet and firm", and in "Zhuangzi·Human World", this secret method is clearly explained in "Zhuangzi·Human World" that "only Tao gathers emptiness, and emptiness is fasting in the heart."It’s a pity that it’s difficult for ordinary people to walk on this road.
Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard this. Is the old colleague reliable?He quickly used his mobile phone to check it out and found that the early Taoist practices were indeed Xinzhai, heel breathing, etc., and later there were guidance, breathing, etc.
Sure enough, Lao Chen talked about the breathing again and said: The secret method of Xinzhai is a bit high and requires a specific path to go, so he breathing means that the breathing technique is deep and reach the breathing method.
"Zhuangzi·Grandmaster" once recorded: If you sleep without dreaming, you will feel free from worry, you will not be willing to eat, and you will have a deep breath.The breath of the real person is with his heel, and the breath of the everyone is with his throat.
Later, Taoism was improved in various ways, thus leading to more specific methods such as guidance and breathing.
Otherwise, if we follow the path of Lao Zhuang, not many people can practice. The scriptures and scriptures are established too far-reachingly, and the vast majority of people will be stopped at the beginning stage.
During this period, Taoism pushed alchemy to a higher level, using various secret techniques to refine elixirs. After taking it, it can transform its own yin substance and turn it into yang energy. This shows how Taoism's pure yang theory is.
At this stage, the most important discovery of Taoism is to find another secret path, comparable to inner scenery and heavenly medicine, called searching for the way!
The so-called wayfinding is said to be to find a path that is real, can walk on, but ordinary people cannot see.
No need to think too much. If you really want to find a way, the effect will be no less than entering the interior site or picking heavenly medicine. However, the years have passed and the traces of the past are overwhelming, and no one can find it now.
Wang Xuan was stunned by the fright. According to his old colleague, the old art paths are constantly changing. Even if it is the brilliant alchemist roots, some of them may not be applicable?
The root law has never been outdated, and later generations also arise from it, which is the foundation, so it is always gorgeous.However, the middle and last chapters of the pre-Qin bamboo slips are generally used as reference and it is not recommended to go deeper.I suspect that it was very applicable in the pre-Qin period, but later some problems may have been discovered.
Later, Lao Chen mentioned the Taoist method later, and said: In the early Taoist elixir, they collected external objects and refined external elixirs, which became more and more perfect, so it was called external alchemy.
With the rise of Taoism and gradually becoming prosperous, the practice method changed again, and the inner alchemy technique rose.
The dragon and tiger are breathing, and vomiting the old and accepting the new is the inner alchemy.This is the most direct description of inner alchemy by the ancients. It refers to the inside of the body, and the alchemy refers to the product formed by the combination of the essence, energy and spirit of the human body.
In a sense, the old art path ushered in another change, the inner alchemy evolved, and later evolved into the golden elixir, which could achieve the Nascent Soul, etc.Old Chen sighed.
During this period, representative figures were Zhongli Quan, Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan and others.
Zhongli Quan considered "San Tongqi", and then combined Sima Chengzhen's "Sitting and Forgot the Lun" to deduce the inner alchemy method.His research and practice are recorded in "Lingbao Bifa" and "Zhong Lu's Collection of Preaching".
Old Chen is quite knowledgeable and speaks well, which makes both Wang Xuan and Aoki listen to it.
The self-owned Lu Dongbin, who reshapes the peak and makes it shine brightly, left behind the "Lu Gong's Golden Elixir Secret" and developed the inner alchemy method to the Golden Elixir Avenue.
Wang Xuan was a little overwhelmed. He understood a little why Lao Chen didn't talk about his realm earlier. The old art path was indeed complicated, and it was difficult to explain the levels of each period.
At the same time, in addition to cultivating the golden elixir, Taoism has also developed methods such as painting talismans, which are varied and have extremely powerful power. The main representatives are naturally the three mountains, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, and Gezao Mountain.
A secret path was also discovered in the middle and late Taoism. Unfortunately, it was very vague and could not be recorded clearly.Old Chen shook his head, quite regretful.
Did the sword cultivator appear after the Jindan Avenue?Wang Xuan asked.
Yes.Old Chen nodded.
Wang Xuan thought, if you count this way, the age of the female sword immortal could be roughly estimated. She was obviously a backward, not an early old monster.
Old Chen said: Similarly, I think there are problems in the future, otherwise it would not have gradually declined and disappeared in modern times.
Then, he mentioned Buddhism again, and sucked his teeth for a while and said: Most of the old Buddhas abandon their bodies, which makes me feel a little bit like this!
He even felt that for those who practice the old skills, there was some taboo, and eventually turned into a rainbow and burned the so-called smelly skin, which always made people feel uneasy.
As for the so-called physical bodhisattva in Buddhism, what they leave is just a dead torso for future generations to admire, and does not have extraordinary qualities. There are still some in the warehouses of relevant departments.
What I am talking about is only the main context of the old techniques, and I do not mention the various schools of thought, such as the banshee fairy in red who is suspected to be the same period as the alchemist, who is obviously peerless and powerful. I guess I am not afraid of alchemist at all, and I have even hunted the top feather level alchemist.
After saying that, Lao Chen summarized it and said: So, the most glorious era of the old arts has not arrived yet, and he is waiting for people like you and me to rise!
Looking at his serious appearance, Aoki felt that his master would inevitably be beaten in the future. What if those ancients still live, who wouldn't deal with him?
However, before he finished complaining, he saw the king's disciple nodding solemnly and spoke there: It makes sense, there was an old testament in ancient times, and I will establish a new testament in the future.
boom!
A thunder exploded in the sky, which scared Lao Chen and quickly changed his words: Lao Wang, do you know how to respect the predecessors?
Wang Xuan looked out the window and saw dark clouds covering the stars and moons. It was cloudy and it started to rain heavily. He didn't believe in those ghosts and gods.
Old Chen found out that it turned out that the celestial phenomena had changed, so he calmly shut up.
Wang Xuan asked: Okay, Lao Chen, let me tell you about the level of realm you summarized, and how should you divide it into those that are adapted to ancient and modern times?
The first level is fog, and the second level is lighting lamps... Old Chen told him that the path corresponding to these levels is universal. From the pre-Qin period to the present, all parties are following, and there should be no problems or hidden dangers.
After he carefully studied the old techniques and sorted out some contexts from ancient times to the present, he found some problems from them, but if he really wanted him to point out what was wrong with the immortals, it would be a bit difficult for Lao Chen.
But being able to have doubts and pick out possible missteps is enough to prove that Lao Chen has been trying his best. Of course, this is also related to the fact that today is different from the past.
