I Am Immortal

  Chapter 10 Practice

   Qi Wuhuo sat beside the stone table, and the old man made him drink a cup of tea.

  Tea fragrance enters the mouth, only to feel that it is divided into two strands, one is reassuring, and the other is in the center of the eyebrows, so that the original disperses, and the splitting headache gradually eases, and it is no longer as painful as it was before.

  The old man waited until his state recovered, and whispered:

   "Tao generates Qi from nothingness, and Yin and Yang are produced from Qi."

   "Yin and Yang recombine the three treasures, and the three treasures are reborn and all things prosper."

   "Remember firmly, this is the general outline of my lineage..."

  Qi Wuhuo said: "General outline?"

  The old man stroked his beard: "To lead all dharmas, to rule all with one, is the general outline."

   "Although this is not a method of cultivation, it is still pointing to the Dao."

   "You need to keep it in mind, lest you make a mistake in the future, this life cannot make up for it, so I will let you know in advance."

   "As for teaching you..."

  The old man stroked his beard and pointed at Qi Wuhuo:

   "The great way of the world, one life is two, two is three, and three is all things."

   "The Qi of heaven and earth is divided into yin and yang. Yin and yang are in the body, with the heart as the nature and the kidney as the life; the heart is separated to be yang, and the kidney is the threshold to be yin; yin and yang give birth to three qi, which are the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit."

  "And practitioners need to know this good fortune, and then practice it against it."

   "Returning three into two, turning two into one, and one into Tao."

"The starting point of my Daoist Kungfu is [Minggong]. The three of essence, energy, and spirit are brought to the limit of life, and then merged into Yin and Yang, which is the spirit of Yuan Qi and Yang, and the **** of Yuan Qi and Yang is combined into one. The avenue, from existence to non-existence."

   "Your mind has been nourished very well, and then you can nourish your essence and then turn it into gas."

  Qi Wuhuo said: "Qi, do you mean the breathable Qi?"

  The old man smiled and shook his head, "Breathing? Wrong."

   "Three grades of medicine, spirit and energy essence, in a trance, in a trance."

   "This essence is not a sympathetic essence."

   "The breath is not the breath."

   “God is not a God who thinks.”

   "That's the acquired method."

   "Among my Daoist sect, qi is acquired and qi is innate. The two words have the same pronunciation, but their meanings are completely different in Daozang."

   "Cultivation is qi, and breath adjustment is qi."

   "Refining and transforming qi is the way of a warrior, while refining and transforming qi is the key to Taoism."

   "Qi is the mother of elixir, and this elixir means harmony, one life two, two beget three, and finally return to the realm of nothingness."

  The old man said that he only taught one trick, but because in the practice and orthodoxy, a poem may be a line of inheritance, and each word has its own meaning, so it actually explained the basics carefully.

   "The first stage of Taoist practice is [Three Talents], also known as [Planting Three Flowers]."

   "Whether it is cultivating the Tao or becoming an immortal, the first step cannot be avoided. People have energy and spirit, and they need to cultivate to the extreme of their own body, to achieve full essence, full spirit, and full energy."

  The old man pointed to Qi Wuhuo's upper, middle and lower dantians, and said:

  “It is called Quan because in this world, people have experienced various things, such as illness, staying up late and sitting for a long time, being injured, and their energy and energy will inevitably be damaged, and they are not in a state of prosperity.”

   "This step needs to be recuperated slowly."

   "It takes time to make it."

   "When you reach the consummation of spirit, energy and spirit, you will be able to gather to form the innate qi, and even if you fail to gather into the innate qi, you can live to the limit of human life span."

  Qi Wuhuo said: "Life limit?"

"Yes, because of their different bodies, about one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty years old, and then they will have no worries, no diseases, no pains, and died in a dream. When they died, they still had black hair and good teeth. , the skin does not wrinkle, which is why it is called [Full]."

   "You can have a full life."

  Qi Wuhuo thought deeply, and said: "Then if you can't reach the state of full essence, full energy, and full god, then go to gather, is it okay?"

The old man smiled and said: "It has been difficult to practice the Dao for a long time, and there will naturally be people who want to take advantage of the loopholes. Most of them have cultivated one of the spirits to a very high level, and then attached the other two to it. You can cross the realm of the three talents in a short period of time and breed supernatural powers."

   "Fast is fast, but it cannot last."

   "Maybe you can be proud of one side in a short period of time and call yourself a real person, but the more you practice, the disadvantages of this tricky method will become more prominent. Maybe it won't be able to overcome it in thirty or fifty years."

   "That's why it's called a side door, heresy."

"Although there are many kinds of supernatural powers, the life expectancy may not be much better than that of serious practitioners at the stage of Sancaiquan, and may even be lower. Many practitioners left this place because they couldn't bear the loneliness and the temptation to appear in front of others. A path that ends in regret."

   "Wuhuo, you have to remember..."

  The old man pointed to the nearby trees:

   "Our purpose is to practice, which is the state, just like this tree, which will take root more and more at the bottom and extend upward; while many supernatural powers and methods are just the fruits produced during the practice."

   "Blindly chasing supernatural powers is like a tree using all its nutrients to grow fruit. In this case, how can it grow into a skyscraper giant tree?"

   "You monks, you should remember it, beware of it, and be careful!"

The old man stroked his beard and said: "Okay, sit here cross-legged now, I will pass on to you a mantra of exhaling and nourishing qi, first nourish the acquired qi enough, in the future you can gather and become the innate qi, and only then can you reach the peak." The realm of gathering three flowers."

  Qi Wuhuo sat cross-legged as the old man said, with his five hearts turned to the sky.

  Then the old man pointed his finger at his dantian, and the blood and flesh in Qi Wuhuo's body circulated, and a trace of breath was born naturally, and then existed in the body along with his body's blood, the old man said: "Contemplate with the spirit."

   "Remember, the three characters of spirit, energy and spirit are different from ordinary people's eyes."

   "The meaning in the Taoist classics is that the pure and unmixed is the essence, the fusion of the blood is the qi, and the activity of the spirit is the god."

   "It is for Yuanjing, Yuanqi, Yuanshen."

   "Yuan Zhe, one Yuan initial, means innate possession."

   "The core of everything is the soul."

   "Use the spirit to control Qi, use the spirit to refine the essence, and remember the method of circulation."

  The old man's teaching of merit is not based on words.

   Instead, he directly led Qi Wuhuo to understand what the Dao circulated. After that, Qi Wuhuo's body would naturally know how to keep the mind, how to visualize, and how to operate and adjust breath.

  Qi Wuhuo's mind followed the old man's guidance.

The old man said: "Warrior practice, swallowing meat, strong body, qi and blood are tyrannical, naturally feel the flow of breath, flow to the extreme, with the tyrannical body, feed back the huge soul, stimulate the mind and spirit. But my line of cultivation is completely different. "

  "The mind is empty and the mind is concentrated, the mind is concentrated and the energy is concentrated, and the energy is concentrated and the spirit is born."

   "One creates ten thousand, and one takes ten thousand to return to one, all of them are my [gods]."

  Qi Wuhuo was in a state of trance.

  At this moment, his mind is strong, and he is very smooth in drawing and circulating the breath. Before he knows it, the golden crow is falling to the west, the jade rabbit is rising to the east, and the sky and the earth are in a coma.

  When the snow melts in winter, it is far colder than when it snows.

  On winter nights, even the watchmen must wear thick clothes and use spirits to keep out the cold. Qi Wuhuo only wears slightly thicker clothes and sits outside.

  It's cold and windy outside, but there is a heat flow in the body.

  Water and fire are intertwined inside and outside, and God is above it, overlooking all this happening, the breath is long and peaceful, and gradually returns to calm, and it is naturally one with the mountains, rivers, and trees.

  Man is a part of heaven and earth.

  Before the sun rises, there are already the sounds of birds in the sky.

A sparrow landed in the yard and pecked at the grass, jumped on the young man's shoulder, and then turned around to comb the feathers with his beak. The young man's black hair was slightly drooping, stained with morning dew, and his eyes opened naturally. When a big sun rises from the sky, purple air rises.

  The young man sits under the plum tree, basking in the sun, with a quiet temperament.

  Birds are preening their feathers on their shoulders.

  Everything in the world is quiet.

  The old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Can you get it?"
