Under one person, the heavenly official gives blessings

Chapter 4 The Original Purpose of Journey to the West
"Boy, thank you, senior!"

Hearing what his master said, Gu Changge's eyes flashed with joy and he hurriedly bowed his head.

When he was practicing alchemy, he was often distracted. This White Bone View might have a miraculous effect.

"Master, is this White Bone Temple so powerful? I want to learn it too."

Xia Liuqing on the side said in a sweet voice.

"Let's learn a lesson. You should practice hard first, you little brat."

Fang Bubai glared at Xia Liuqing's forehead.

"Senior, boy, I have a question. What I practice is Taoist elixir method. It won't conflict with the White Bone Temple, right?"

Gu Changge hurriedly asked about his doubts.

Buddhism and Taoism should not be merged, according to his thinking.

"Hey, you kid is really ignorant. It's amazing that you can practice this elixir to this extent. Old Fang, what did you teach your apprentice?"

Li Daoran glanced sideways at Fang Bubai.

"Old Li, don't laugh at me. How can I, a Liyuan disciple, know those awesome cultivation methods? This kid's alchemy method is passed down from his ancestors, and there is only half a volume, so I can only teach him casually."

Fang Bubai's old face turned red.

When he first took Gu Changge under his wing, he only knew that this boy had half a volume of ancestral elixirs in his possession, but since he was not a Taoist priest, he naturally did not understand the methods of cultivation.

I just taught this kid according to the method I learned.

"Senior, is there anything wrong with what the boy said?"

Gu Changge was also very depressed. What he said must be right.

"This elixir method is a method of dual cultivation of life and life. It can be regarded as a method of Quanzhen lineage. Although Quanzhen is divided into north and south, with sex first and life later, and life first and sex, in the final analysis, it is the dual cultivation of life and life. .The purpose of Quanzhen Religion is the unification of the three religions.

Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are interlinked, and the three religions have always had the same ancestral style. This is what people from the Quanzhen Sect say. Buddha is the Tao. Also, do you know what life is? "

Li Daoran snorted and lectured Gu Changge in front of him.

"Master, I know this. Xing refers to the inner Tao of mind, thought, character, temperament and spirit, etc. Ming refers to the external Tao of body, life, energy and matter. The dual cultivation of Xing and Ming means 'having both spirit and form. '."

Tu Yue on the side smiled, and then started talking.

Their three demon sects also belong to the Dao sect, and their final goal is to kill the three corpses. Naturally, they also know a little about the method of cultivating both life and life.

However, the Three Demons Sect also incorporates some Zen methods from Buddhism, making it a special sect that combines Buddhism and Taoism.

"I see."

Gu Changge laughed dryly and scratched his head.

He really didn't know much about any of this.

"It sounds very troublesome. Can't you practice directly?"

Xia Liuqing was confused.

"The secrets of the alchemy in the Taoist sect are endless. After practicing the alchemy to the end, you will abandon your shell and fly up. Chang Ge, you should know that the innate energy is present in everything. "The Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing" once said that heaven and earth , the thief of all things, the thief of all things, and man, and the thief of man, and all things. The three ways are appropriate, and the three talents are at peace. Do you know what this means?"

Li Daoran shook his head and continued to look at Gu Changge.

This boy is extremely talented, but unfortunately he became Old Man Fang's disciple and knows nothing about Taoism.

As a person who cherishes talents, he naturally has to give some advice.

"This kid doesn't know."

Gu Changge smiled bitterly.

"You old boy, stop playing riddles and just tell me."

Fang Bubai had a straight temper and shouted loudly.

"Tu Yue, please explain."

Li Daoran looked at his disciple.

"Senior, what my master means is that Taoism believes that although heaven and earth give birth to all things and people, they also steal the energy of all things and people. All things also steal the energy of people, and people also steal the energy of all things. Only when the three thieves balance each other can harmony be achieved between heaven, earth, and people. a state of being.”

Tu Yue continued.

As an inner disciple of the Three Demons Sect, he is naturally very familiar with these.

"The boy seems to understand, that is to say, after this person is born, the innate energy in his body will be stolen by all things in the world."

Gu Changge's eyes lit up. He remembered that the third level of reverse birth of the Trinity Sect is to restore the innate Qi to the state of a baby being born, which is the process of returning the innate Qi stolen from heaven and earth.

"You have a good understanding, but this is just a description. From birth to growth, we all lose our innate energy no matter how we breathe or sleep. The grains we eat will be converted into acquired energy, but this acquired energy will be lost." It is also the innate Qi that can become the power in our body. Unfortunately, this acquired Qi is poisonous. If accumulated too much, it will cause people to age and decay. This is why people are born, old, sick and die. It is the process from nature to nurture. "

Fang Bubai continued.

"Then according to what the senior said, as long as one's innate energy is not lost, wouldn't that person be able to live forever?"

Surprise flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

Is this the Taoist method of immortality?

"Hehe, your kid's understanding is really good. You can actually draw inferences from one instance. Your understanding is much higher than that of your master."

Li Daoran did not forget to ridicule his old friend.

"Old Li, I haven't learned that awesome Taoist technique, but I still know it because of my innate energy."

Fang Bubai snorted.

"Almost, after this innate Qi returns to the human body, it will turn into the Three Treasures, named Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi and Yuan Shen. The corresponding innate Qi will be transformed into the acquired Qi, and it will become Zhuo Jing, Mortal Qi and Yuan Shen. Consciousness. This turbid essence, hey, it is the pleasure that comes from hanging out in the Goulan. It is the place where you, an old boy, went when you were young. This turbid essence is transformed from the yuan essence, and the desires in your heart are together. That will translate immediately.”

Li Daoran continued.

"Old Li, please don't smear my innocence. You and I were obviously there together to do justice."

Fang Bubai saw the contemptuous looks in his two apprentices' eyes and hurriedly explained.

At that time, he and Li Daoran went to catch a stranger from the evil sect, and then they entered Goulan. At that time, the two got acquainted.

"Humph, let me finish my words first. Chang Ge, you must have read Journey to the West. What I will say next is somewhat related to Journey to the West."

Li Daoran continued to look at Gu Changge.

"Of course I've read Journey to the West."

Surprise flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

"This Journey to the West is actually a book about the cultivation of alchemy. The turbid essence I mentioned before, the more turbid essence, the less the original essence. If the nature changes to the day after tomorrow, the person will run out of essence and die, so To practice, you must abide by the precepts and obtain the 'Eight Precepts'. The growth of the human body requires the essence, so you must obtain the 'Enlightenment Energy'. To achieve this ability, you must also practice discipline to obtain this ability, so you must 'purify the altar'!"

Li Daoran continued.

"Zhu Bajie, the messenger of the altar, can Zhu Wuneng?"

Gu Changge suddenly looked surprised.

"Master, you have never told me this before."

Tu Yue seemed to be surprised when she heard that Journey to the West was related to cultivation for the first time.

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to practice well, but today you have a taste of defeat and have sharpened your character. Master, I tell you that it's natural. Then listen to me, Yuan Jing can be transformed into Yuan Qi. This process is Taoism. When it comes to refining and transforming Qi, Yuan Qi is the life force of a person. During the process of breathing, Yuan Qi will continue to leak out. Therefore, during the cultivation process, it is necessary to prevent Yuan Qi from leaking, just like it is bound with a golden hoop. The name It is the 'golden hoop'. Yuan Qi floats and sinks like quicksand and needs to be purified from time to time, so it is necessary to 'enlighten the purification'."

Li Daoran continued.

"Jinhuan and Sha Wujing."

Gu Changge looked surprised.

This old man's explanation method is really unique.

"Yuan Qi can warm and nourish the Yuan Shen. This is the so-called refining Qi and transforming the spirit. When a person is just born, the Yuan Shen is the strongest, so he can see unclean things. And this Yuan Shen is like an ape, practicing You need to be centered, so you need to 'Wukong'. The soul is the most important in the journey of cultivation. It can refine the essence and energy in the body, so you need to be a 'walker'. The key to training lies in the magical effect in your heart, so you need to 'fight' . In the end, the three treasures Yuanjing, Yuanqi and Yuanshen merge into one, the three treasures return to one treasure, the three treasures merge into one and the golden elixir is formed, the golden elixir is formed and the holy womb is knotted, the holy womb is knotted and the Yuanying is formed, and finally the group of yin is stripped away to become the yang god, abandon The shell ascends and returns to the void, which is called refining the spirit and returning to the void."

Li Daoran said slowly.

"So Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing in "Journey to the West" refer to Yuan Shen, Yuan Jing and Yuan Qi respectively. Is that right, senior?"

After listening to Li Daoran's words, Gu Changge seemed to understand what the practice of alchemy was.

They are refining essence to transform Qi, refining Qi to transform into spirit, and refining spirit to return to void.

The Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing in Journey to the West are used to refer to some terminology methods in alchemy. In fact, this "Journey to the West" is a method for practicing inner alchemy!

"Master, according to you, does this Tang Monk refer to our mortal body, because this Tang Monk is also called Jin Chanzi, which means the golden cicada sheds its shell?"

Tu Yue seemed to understand the reasoning and whispered.

"Hahaha, children can be taught. Chang Ge, Tu Yue, you two boys are indeed very enlightened. Lao Fang, it seems that the apprentices of you and me will be very good in the future."

Li Daoran suddenly smiled after hearing what the two said.

These two boys have really good understanding.
