Can you live forever

Chapter 3 Pangu opens the sky, people uphold yin and yang
The next day, early morning.

As usual, the old celestial master practiced Baduanjin under the verandah. Zhang Zhixiang watched the old celestial master finish the practice, and asked, "Brother, you didn't let me practice Daoyin before, should you teach me now?"

It's not like Zhang Zhixiang can't.

In his previous life, he learned "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu" and "Longevity Kung Fu", and later learned that it was handed down by Ziyang Master Zhang Boduan, which is a kind of Daoyin technique.

Daoist Zhang Zhishun didn't care about sect opinions, so he made the exercises public.

But now is the Ming Dynasty.

The difference is that there is no one who practiced in Tianshi Mansion, so he didn't dare to practice, he couldn't explain the source, and the old Tianshi said that he was too young to practice.

"Oh, no hurry."

The old heavenly master still had the same attitude, but he didn't teach the Daoyin technique, but he could teach the basic six-character formula, he pulled Zhang Zhixiang to sit aside, and asked: "Taoism has six-character formula, do you know it? "

"Ah."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded. He had learned a lot in Tianshi Mansion for five years, so he replied: "The six-character formula was handed down by Tao Hongjing of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There is one inhalation and six exhalation, which are: blow, exhale, and hee." , huh, shh, huh."

"Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, composes a hygienic song in accordance with the five elements, the four seasons and the climate."

"The song says:"

"Blowing eyesight in spring and heart in summer, blowing lungs and kidneys in autumn and winter."

"The four seasons often exhale the spleen to transform food, and the heat from the triple burner is hard to stop."

"The hair should be combed frequently, the breath should be restrained, the teeth should be counted, the body should be knocked, and the body should be swallowed."

"If you want to practice Kunlun forever, you always rub your hands on your face."

Zhang Zhixiang has a very good memory in his two lives. If he doesn’t say it, he will never forget it. As long as he has read it two or three times, he will definitely be able to remember it. He often reads books in Chishu Pavilion, so often the old master will ask him first, and then teach him.

The old master smiled.

Asked: "Then do you think these six characters are foley or imitation?"

Zhang Zhixiang thought for a while, and replied: "Is that right? There are different sounds in ten miles, and the sounds in ancient and modern times are also different. If it is an imitation, it will be inaccurate. In the past, Cangjie created characters, and it rained millet in the sky, and ghosts cried at night."

"Words are manifested by the avenue of heaven and earth."

"I will never change my way for ten thousand years."

The old celestial master stroked his beard and nodded, very satisfied, and said: "Since you know the pass, you can breathe in and out sooner or later, and strengthening your body will have its own effect."

"Senior brother, why do you want to cultivate Kunlun without dying?"

"Kunlun...the highest place is Kunlun, which is...here."

The old heavenly master casually tapped the top of Zhang Zhixiang's head, and then asked, "How high is this place?"

Zhang Zhixiang didn't know his height either: "About...four feet?"

The old celestial master smiled slightly, and said: "The [-]-foot-high roof is not as high as it is, and the sun, moon, and galaxy are all under it. This is Kunlun, the place of longevity, and the mountain of myriad ancestors."

"Man is born with the heaven and the earth, do you know where the heaven and the earth come from?"

Zhang Zhixiang: "Pangu opened the sky?"

"The heaven and the earth are as chaotic as a chicken, and Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old, the heaven and the earth opened up, the sun and the clear are the sky, and the turbidity is the earth."

"Is it this? Brother?"

The old heavenly master fondled Zhang Zhixiang's head, couldn't be more satisfied with the intelligence of this little junior, and said with a smile: "Yangqing has no form, while yin and turbidity have reality."

"Therefore, the intangible is yang, and the tangible is yin."

"At the time of innate, the universe is chaotic like a chicken, and everything bears the yin and embraces the yang. Therefore, the chaos is outside, and the innate spirit is inside. When the innate is turned into the opportunity of the acquired, the number of Dayan is fifty, and you can escape from one and live 49."

"Why one?"

"The Tao of Xiantian Yuanling is one. This is the evolution from the initial state of yang to yang. The only Xiantian Yuanling Dao is resolved into countless fragments and becomes yang to yin. The balance of yin and yang has been running since then. At the beginning, chaos, as the ultimate yin of yin, began to transform into the ultimate yang of yin, that is, the disordered chaos began to become orderly.”

"In this way, the world we know is formed."

"All tangible things originate from chaos, and chaos has no spirit, so all living beings are the fusion of tangible bodies and invisible spirits."

"The so-called invisible spirits, the fragments of these innate primordial spirits, we prefer to call them... innate primordial energy."

"This is Pangu creating the world."

"Now, do you know how tall Kunlun is?"

Zhang Zhixiang's eyes widened. He had read a lot of books in his previous life, but he didn't know he could say such a thing. After being shocked, he showed a hint of childish naughtiness, and said, "Kunlun is [-] miles high."

The last sentence of the description of Pan Gu opening up the sky in "San Wu Li Ji" is "the old heaven went to the earth for ninety thousand miles."

The old master laughed in surprise.

"Nine is the extreme number. It is right to say that it is [-] miles. It is [-] miles away from the sky and the earth, and it is also [-] miles away from us. Although it is here, it is clearly in our body, but it is the most distant existence in the world."

"It is the avenue derived from the innate, and it is the existence of the most light, the great and the most orderly."

"Cultivation is to find it!"

"so."

"Buddhists say that seeing one's nature becomes a Buddha. Therefore, Wang Yangming said, the way of a sage is that my nature is self-sufficient."

The old heavenly master nodded his forehead, Zhang Zhixiang seemed to understand, but the old heavenly master didn't care, because this was just the beginning, he would slowly teach Zhang Zhixiang all the ways.

After Zhang Zhixiang understands what Tao is, at that time, he can start to practice.

Six-character tactic.

It is said to be breathing, but in fact, more effects are just health preservation. The most basic thing for the entry into Taoism, Zhang Zhixiang is in good health. Actually, there is no obvious effect when practicing, but the most important thing is persistence.

The premise of building a foundation in a hundred days is ten years of recuperation.

The body is not good, so why practice?
After lunch at noon, Zhang Zhixiang looked at the snow on the mountain road, his small body seemed to be hanging down the mountain.Then he ran to the wing room behind the Tianshi Mansion, and found a giant who was more than ten feet tall and was snoring like thunder, sleeping soundly, and shouted: "Da Fangfeng! Da Fangfeng!"

The giant stopped snoring and suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was Zhang Zhixiang who restrained his vicious intentions, he called out in a loud voice: "Little Master Uncle."

"Big Fangfeng, I'm going down the mountain to go home, take me there."

"Oh."

The giant nodded yes, turned around and got up, stepped on the ground with a pair of bare feet, pulled a piece of tiger skin and put it on his shoulder, picked up Zhang Zhixiang and sat on his shoulder, and then walked down the mountain with big strides.

Whether the mountain road is rugged or covered with heavy snow.

The giant didn't care at all, he was walking, but he ran faster than ordinary people, the place where he landed was extremely stable, he seemed to know exactly when the soft snow would be compacted, and how deep each foot would go.

Sitting on the giant's shoulders, Zhang Zhixiang didn't feel the slightest jolt.

It can be seen how profound the giant's kung fu is.

The giant has no name, and was brought back by a caravan from overseas. Because of its majestic stature, it was hoped to sell for a good price, but the giant found an opportunity on the way to Shuntianfu and escaped from the slave car.

During the chase, he accidentally went up to Longhu Mountain, and was informed by the Tianshi Mansion.

Daming did not allow the trading of slaves, at least according to the law, no matter how unwilling the caravan was, they would not dare to offend the Tianshi Mansion, so the old Tianshi paid 500 taels, which was considered a step up for both parties.

Since then, the giant has stayed in Tianshi Mansion as a Dharma protector.

In ancient times, there was Fangfeng, who was three feet and three feet tall, and was a giant, so everyone in the Tianshi Mansion called him "Fangfeng", and because of his size, they often called him "Big Fangfeng".

Although Da Fangfeng is an overseas savage, his appearance is no different from that of a Han Chinese.

Also black-haired and yellow-skinned.

I heard that it came from the continent at the end of the East China Sea. The old heavenly master knew that it was the land of Yin and Shang. In the past, the three treasure eunuchs went to the west, and the fleet sailed around the world. The old people of the Shang Dynasty named it Shangzhou, and made the north and south sections.

Da Fangfeng is from Yindi'an, from North Shangzhou.

(PS: Tianshi Mansion is actually not on Longhu Mountain, but in the town below the mountain, but I think the mountain is more compelling.)
