Chapter 82: Clarifying the History of Old Techniques
clean and think hard, I really put my heart into it."can you take me out, too" Aoki couldn't help opening his mouth."I can't help it. You are his apprentice. You can't step back at this moment!" Wang...Lao Chen shook his head and said, "I just doubt it. If I don't reach the height of the Bodhisattva, can you criticize them for their mistakes" It's hard. "
after he studied the old skills and sorted out the context from ancient times to the present, he found some problems, but it would be a bit difficult for him to point out that the immortals were wrong.
but having doubts and picking out possible mispaths is enough to prove Lao Chen's intentions, and of course it has something to do with the difference between today and the past.
the ancients had their own limitations due to the influence of chronological background.
now is the era of the Big Bang. Cool techs has undergone such a baptism of endless emergence and drastic changes, coupled with the fact that Lao Chen is at the forefront of today's old technology, his vision is indeed beyond the inherent category.
Wang Yirang told him all the places where he had problems, which is very important to him. In the future, he will inevitably encounter some big pits of the ancients.
No matter whether the ancients are dead or not, the traps and games left behind are still playing a role and must be strictly guarded against.
"in the pre-Qin period, it was mainly based on the root method, which is extremely gorgeous, which has affected so far and benefited all those who have embarked on the old way." Lao Chen is in no hurry or slow to sort out the context.
the so-called root method involves gas extraction, meditation, internal nourishment, etc., which is of inestimable value and irreplaceable for improving the physique and strengthening the spirit.
Fang Shi used the root method to enter the interior scene, which directly led to the qualitative change of the old art, crossed the natural graben, and really sublimated and detached.
"Fang Shi, another great achievement is alchemy, mainly in the Dan furnace burning minerals, quenching the original liquid, extract the essence, want to obtain the final elixir, so as to live forever. During that period, alchemy minerals were rarely recorded, but they were absolutely all treasures and miraculous objects in the world. "
Wang Xuan was surprised that Fang Shi was not an elixir.
Lao Chen said: "in the early days, it was indeed mining secret minerals, melting divine objects falling from the sky, and so on, without taking herbs."
it was not until later, after the discovery of the secret road of Tianyao in the interior, that the scholars began to consider melting those rare drugs!
the so-called heavenly medicine is not a medicine in this world. Lao Chen mentioned a record last time that he demanded a rare medicine, but suddenly looking back, it may be in the sunset glow on the horizon of the sea of people and the world of mortals.
it can be said that the scholars successively discovered the two secret paths of Insight and Heavenly Medicine, which led to the qualitative transition of the old art to the peak of glory.
at that time, who did not have a few immortal beasts and sacred birds When you travel, you can easily pull a rickshaw by Linwu, or travel on the back of an undead bird to visit friends in the East China Sea.
when future generations look at this part of the history of the old art road, they are all amazed, and it is difficult to reproduce that kind of spectacle.
because the gods, birds and beasts between heaven and earth are almost captured and killed by the supreme square.
"during that period, there were indeed a number of top scholars who embarked on the feathering road and were bombarded by thunder, but as these people successively feathered, the resplendence of the scholars came to an end, and it came to an abrupt end."
Lao Chen sighed that just after the heyday of Fang Scholars, it actually dimmed directly, so that he had to have all kinds of doubts and associations.
"combined with what is happening to you now and what I have experienced, I think the water in the interior is very deep, mysterious and scary everywhere. In addition, the natural medicine is too difficult to find and extremely difficult to pick. The two secret roads are gradually blocked, which is the root cause of the decline of the scholars. "
Lao Chen expressed his conjecture and said, "therefore, the Emperor of Qin asked Xu Shu, a scholar of the Qin Dynasty, to pick immortal medicine, that is, celestial medicine. He could only go to sea to avoid disaster. I guess he also knew that he could not find it during this period."
Qin Emperor wanted to live forever and wanted an immortal elixir, but it was impossible for him to succeed at that stage.
"I suspect that something has happened to some of the bigwigs in the Fang Scholars, which is why they have fallen, and even the Fangshi who became immortal may have realized something at last." Lao Chen is extremely serious, but it is a pity that his level is too far behind those people. even if he looks through all the ancient books, there can only be some guesses and no evidence can be found.

Wang Xuan frowns. Many things have happened in the past, giving people the feeling of fog everywhere. They need to get stronger and stronger before they can slowly approach and explore.
Lao Chen continued: "by the end of the curtain, they have begun to accept earthly herbs, and they will more or less add some to alchemy and mix them with minerals. It was at this time that Taoism accepted that they began to add a large amount of sesame grass to alchemy, in addition to special stones. "
according to Lao Chen's understanding, with the changes of the times, newcomers found some problems and began to expand into other fields.
"in the early days, Taoism attached importance to Xinzhai, that is, inner emptiness and serenity, spiritual cultivation, focusing on the accumulation of spiritual energy. In Taoist classics, it is believed that the road is from emptiness to stillness, and it is expected to close the road with Xin Zhai. "
at this point, he sighed: "however, these are too high and far away, and the requirements for the mental and spiritual fields are too high for many people to get started at all." Just imagine, who is the person who proposed such a lofty road Laozhuang! In the Book of morality, it is mentioned that'to the extreme of deficiency and keep tranquility', while in the Human World of Zhuangzi, this secret method is clearly explained that only Tao gathers emptiness, and the heart of those who are empty is also true. Alas, it is very difficult for ordinary people to go down this road. "
Wang Meng was in a daze. Is what my old colleague said reliable He quickly checked it quietly with his mobile phone, and really found that the early Taoist practice was indeed a spiritual fast, followed by rest, and then there was guidance, vomiting, and so on. Sure enough, Lao Chen said of the following breath, "the secret method of Xinzhai is a little high, and it takes a specific path to walk, so there is a follow-up breath, which is deep in the inner finger and reaches the heel."
Great Master Zhuangzi once wrote: "his sleep does not dream, he feels carefree, he is unwilling to eat, he is unwilling, and his breath is deep." The breath of the real person is on the heel, and the rest of the people is on the throat. "
later, Taoism was perfected in various ways, which led to more specific methods such as guidance, spitting and acceptance.
otherwise, if we follow the path of Laozi and Zhuangzi, not many people can practice, and the scriptures are so far-reaching that the vast majority of people will be stopped at the initial stage.
at this stage, Taoism pushed alchemy to a high level, burning elixir in various secret ways, and after taking it, it could turn its own yin into yang, which can be seen from the Taoist theory of pure yang.
"at this stage, the most important discovery of Taoism is to find another secret way, which is comparable to the inner scene and natural medicine, called finding the way!"
the so-called pathfinding is said to be to find a way that really exists and can walk on it, but can't be seen by normal people.
there is 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, or picking the medicine, but the years are long and the traces of the past are drowning, but now no one can find it.
Wang Xuan was bluffed. According to his old colleagues, the old way of art is constantly changing. Even if it is a bright square root method, some of it may not be applicable.
"the root method is applicable and has never been out of date, and the law of later generations also comes from it, which is the foundation, so it is always gorgeous. However, the middle and later parts of the bamboo slips in the pre-Qin Dynasty can generally be used as a reference, and it is not recommended to go further. I suspect that it was very suitable in the pre-Qin period, but some problems may have been found later. "
then Lao Chen mentioned the method behind Taoism and said, "the early Taoist alchemy collected foreign objects, and the refined Waidan became more and more perfect, so it was called Waidanshu."
with the rise of Taoism and the gradual prosperity of Taoism, the method of spiritual practice changed again, and Neidan art rose.
"Dragon and tiger fetus breath, vomiting the old and accepting the new is the inner Dan." This is the most direct description of Neidan by the ancients, which refers to the interior of the body and the combination of spirit and spirit of the human body.remaining mysterious power, and Qin Cheng was too close to him and was influenced by the residual power of the old Bodhisattva."strangely, that feeling has faded." Qin Cheng was puzzled.Wang Xuan did...
