Deep Space Beyond Chapter 82

Lao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm just suspicious. If I haven't reached the level of a bodhisattva, can I point out their mistakes? It's hard."

After he studied the old techniques and followed some lines from the past to the present, he found some problems, but it would be a little embarrassing for him to point out where Lie Xian was wrong.

But being able to have doubts and pick out possible wrong paths is enough to prove that Lao Chen is attentive. Of course, this is also related to the difference between today and the past.

Influenced by the background of the age, the ancients had their own limitations.

Now is the era of information explosion, black technology emerges in an endless stream, and changes are drastic. After undergoing such a baptism, coupled with the fact that Lao Chen is at the forefront of the field of old art, his vision is indeed beyond the inherent scope.

Wang Xuan asked him to talk about all the problems. This is very important to him. In the future, he will inevitably encounter some big pits from the ancients.

No matter whether those ancients died or not, the traps and situations left behind are still in play and must be strictly guarded against.

"In the pre-Qin period, the root method was the main method, which can be said to be extremely splendid, and its influence has benefited all those who have embarked on the old way of art." Lao Chen was not in a hurry or slowed down, and clarified the context.

The so-called root method involves qi collection, meditation, internal nourishment, etc. It has inestimable value in improving physical fitness and strengthening spirit, and is irreplaceable.

The alchemist used the root technique to actually enter the interior scene, which directly led to the qualitative change of the old technique, crossed the sky, and truly sublimated and detached.

"Alchemist, another major achievement is alchemy, mainly smelting minerals in the alchemy furnace, quenching the original liquid, extracting the essence, and trying to obtain the last elixir, so as to live forever. At that time, there were few records of alchemy minerals. But they are absolutely all rare treasures, fetishes, etc. in the world.”

Wang Xuan was surprised, isn't the alchemist refining medicines into pills?

Old Chen said: "In the early days, it was indeed mining and refining secret mines, melting sacred objects that fell from the sky, etc., and did not take medicinal herbs."

It wasn't until later, after the interior scene, the discovery of the secret way of celestial medicine, that the alchemist began to consider smelting those rare medicines!

The so-called celestial medicine is not a medicine in the world. Old Chen mentioned a record last time, demanding a rare medicine, and suddenly looking back, it may be in the sunset on the horizon in the crowd of people and the red dust.

It can be said that the alchemist successively discovered the two secret paths of the interior scene and the celestial medicine, which led to a qualitative transition of the old technique and reached the peak of brilliance.

At that time, which of the top alchemists did not have a few divine beasts and holy birds? When they go out, they are limousine beasts pulling chariots, or sitting on the backs of phoenixes and roaming the East China Sea to visit friends and so on.

When future generations look at this part of the history of the old art, they are all amazed, and it is difficult to reproduce that kind of spectacle.

Because, the gods and beasts in this world were almost captured and killed by the top alchemists.

"At that time, top alchemists embarked on the Ascension to Immortal Road and received thunder bombardment. There were indeed a group of them, but as these people emerged successively, the radiance of alchemists came to an end, and it ended suddenly."

Old Chen sighed that the alchemist's heyday had just passed, but it was directly dimmed, which forced him to have all kinds of doubts and associations.

"Combining what happened to you now and what I have experienced, I feel that the water in the interior is very deep, and there is mystery everywhere, which is a little scary. In addition, the heavenly medicine is too hard to find and extremely difficult to pick. Two secret paths They are gradually blocked, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of alchemists."

Lao Chen expressed his conjecture and said, "So, later, Emperor Qin asked alchemist Xu Fu to pick the medicine of immortality, that is, the heavenly medicine. He could only go out to sea to avoid disaster. He probably knew that he would not be able to find it at this time."

Emperor Qin wanted longevity and the medicine of immortality, but at that stage it was impossible to succeed.

"I suspect that some of the big figures in the alchemists have had an accident, which is why they have fallen. Even the alchemists who have become immortals may finally realize something." Lao Chen is very serious, but unfortunately, his realm level is still too far behind those people, even if he reads Looking through all the ancient books, there can only be some guesses, and no evidence can be found.

Wang Xuan frowned. A lot of things happened in the past of the old art road, giving people the feeling of being foggy everywhere. They need to keep getting stronger before they can approach and explore slowly.

Old Chen continued: "When the alchemists came to an end, they had already begun to accept medicinal herbs from the world. They would add some herbs to alchemy and mix them with minerals for extraction. That is, at this time, the Taoists took over. In addition to special gold and stones, they began to add a large amount of alchemy. of fenugreek, etc."

According to Lao Chen's understanding, the times have changed, and latecomers have discovered certain problems and began to expand into other fields.

"In the early days of Taoism, the focus was on Xinzhai, that is, the inner emptiness and tranquility, the cultivation of the heart was the main focus, and the accumulation of spiritual energy was emphasized. In the Taoist classics, the Dao is considered to be empty and quiet, and it is hoped that the Dao can be combined with the Xinzhai."

Having said this, he sighed: "However, these are too high and too far, and the requirements for the xinxing and spiritual fields are too high, and many people simply cannot get started. Just imagine, who is the person who proposed this lofty path? Lao Zhuang! "Tao Te Ching" mentions 'extreme emptiness, keep quietness and earnestness', and in "Zhuangzi · Human World", this secret method is clearly explained 'only the Tao gathers emptiness, and those who are empty also fasten their hearts'. Alas, ordinary people It's hard to go down this road."

Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard it. Is what the old colleague said reliable? He hurriedly used his mobile phone to check it quietly, and he really found it. In the early stage of Taoism, the practice was really fasting of the heart, resting on the heels, etc. Later, there was guidance and breathing.

Sure enough, Lao Chen talked about the heel breath again and said, "The secret method of Xinzhai is a bit high, and it needs a specific path to walk, so there is the heel breath, and the inner breathing is deep, and it reaches the heel."

"Zhuangzi: The Great Master" once recorded: "He sleeps without dreams, he sleeps without worry, his food is unwilling, and his breath is deep. The real person's breath is on his heels, and everyone's breath is on his throat."

Later, Taoism carried out various improvements, and thus there were more specific methods such as guidance and breathing.

Otherwise, if you follow the path of Lao Zhuang and Zhuang, not many people can cultivate, and the scriptures and books are too far-reaching, and it will stop most people in the initial stage.

During this period, Taoists pushed the alchemy technique to a high level, using various secret methods to burn and smelt elixir. After taking it, it could transform its yin quality into yang qi. The Taoist theory of pure yang can be seen from this.

"At this stage, the most important discovery of Taoism is to find another secret path, which is comparable to the interior scene and celestial medicine, called Pathfinding!"

The so-called pathfinding is said to be to find a path that exists and can be walked on, but is invisible to ordinary people.

No need to think about it, if you really want to find a way to succeed, the effect is no less than entering the interior scene, or picking the heavenly medicine, but the time is long and the traces of the past are drowned, and no one can find it now.

Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment. According to an old colleague, the old way of art is constantly changing. Even if it is the brilliant alchemy root method, some of it may not be applicable?

"The root method is applicable and has never been outdated, and the methods of later generations are also based on it. It is the foundation, so it is always gorgeous. However, the middle and second chapters of the pre-Qin bamboo slip method can generally be used as a reference, and it is not recommended to go further. I suspect that in the pre-Qin period Works well, but some problems may have been discovered later."

Later, Lao Chen mentioned the method behind Taoism, saying: "In the early days of Taoist alchemy, foreign objects were harvested, and outer alchemy was refined. It is becoming more and more perfect, so it is called outer alchemy."

With the rise of Taoism and its prosperity, the practice method has changed again, and the inner alchemy technique has risen.

"Dragon and tiger fetal breath, spit out the old and take in the new is the inner alchemy." This is the most direct description of the inner alchemy by the ancients, the inner refers to the inside of the body, and the alchemy refers to the product of the combination of human spirit, qi and spirit.

"In a sense, the old way of art ushered in another change. The inner alchemy evolved, and later evolved into a golden elixir, which can achieve Yuanying and so on." Lao Chen sighed with emotion.

During this period, the representative figures were Zhong Liquan, Lv Dongbin, Chen Tuan and others.

"Zhong Liquan considered "Shen Tong Qi", and then combined Sima Chengzhen's "Zuan Wang Lun" to deduce the inner alchemy method. His research and exercises are recorded in "Lingbao Bifa" and "Zhonglu Chuan Dao Ji" ."

Old Chen has a lot of research, and he speaks in a straight-forward manner, making both Wang Xuan and Aoki fascinated.

"Lü Dongbin, who reshaped the peak and made it shine brilliantly, left behind "The Secret of Lu Gong Jindan" to develop the inner alchemy method to the golden alchemy avenue."

Wang Xuan has a big head, and he understands a little why Lao Chen didn't talk about the realm earlier. The old art path is really complicated, and it has been expanded and changed many times. It is difficult to tell the level of each period.

"At the same time, Taoism has developed techniques such as drawing talismans in addition to the cultivation of golden elixir, which are varied and powerful. The main representative is naturally the three mountains, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Gezao Mountain."

"In the middle and late stages of Taoism, a secret way was also discovered. Unfortunately, it was very vague and the records were unclear." Lao Chen shook his head, quite regretful.

"Jianxiu appeared after Jindan Avenue, right?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Yes." Old Chen nodded.

Wang Xuan pondered, in this way, the female sword fairy's age can be roughly estimated, she is obviously a backward person, not an early old monster.

Old Chen said: "Similarly, I think there are problems with the road ahead. Otherwise, it will not gradually decline and disappear in modern times."

Then, he mentioned Buddhism again, and he slapped his teeth and said, "Old Buddhas, most of them abandon their physical bodies, which makes me feel good!"

Even ~www.mtlnovel.com~ he felt that it was a bit taboo for those who practiced the old art, and eventually turned into a rainbow and burned the so-called stinky skin, which always made people feel uneasy.

As for the so-called "bodhisattva in the flesh" in Buddhism, what is left is just a dead torso for future generations to look up to.

"What I'm talking about is only the main thread of the old art, and I didn't say that there are hundreds of schools of thought, such as the red-clothed banshee who is suspected to be at the same time as the alchemist. Feather-level alchemist."

After Lao Chen finished speaking, he summarized and said, "So, the most glorious era of the old art road has not yet come, and it is waiting for people like you and me to rise!"

Looking at his serious appearance, Aoki felt that his master would be beaten badly in the future. If those ancients were still alive, who wouldn't take care of him?

However, before he finished his slander, he saw the Patriarch Wang solemnly nod his head, and said there: "It makes sense, there is an old covenant in ancient times, and I will make a new covenant in the future."

Boom!

A thunderstorm exploded in the sky, causing Lao Chen to be startled and quickly changed his words: "Pharaoh, do you know how to respect the former sages?"

Wang Xuan glanced out the window, the dark clouds covered the stars and the moon, it was actually cloudy, and it started to rain heavily. He didn't believe in those ghosts and gods.

Lao Chen found out that it was just a change in the sky, so he calmly shut up.

Wang Xuan asked: "Okay, old Chen, tell me about the realm level you summarized, which is suitable for ancient and modern, how to divide it?"

"The first level is fog, and the second level is burning lamps..." Lao Chen told him that the paths corresponding to these levels are universal. hidden danger.
