Can you live forever

Chapter 126
"Brother."

Seeing the old heavenly master coming out, Zhang Zhixiang greeted him cheerfully.

"How does it feel?"

"I've never been so relaxed and at ease, as if... just like the fish have returned to the sea." Zhang Zhixiang stretched out his hand to fiddle with the air, bringing up a stream of wind. He never used real energy, but the wind moved with his hand.

Taoism has the theory of fetal breath.

The so-called fetal breath has two meanings, one is to return to the baby state, in the mother's womb, that kind of pure and pure, all natural breathing under the ethereal mind.

Another meaning is... the second layer of tranquility.

There are three realms of meditation, which are: Xinzhai, sitting and forgetting, and tranquility.

Zhuangzi said: If you have a will, if you don’t listen to it with your ears, you don’t listen to it with your heart; if you don’t listen to it with your heart, you listen to it with your breath!Listening stops at the ear, heart stops at the talisman.Those who are qi are also those who are empty and treat things.The only way is to gather emptiness.Those who are empty are fasting in the heart.

Only when there is no ego and nothing can one be able to be calm and empty, to look inside, to look outside, and to see the true nature of the world.

Want nothing first.

Zhang Zhixiang learned dragon slaying from Yao Guangxiao. After seeing the dragon for the first time, and having a general understanding of the operation of all things in the world and the origin and development of civilization, the world in his eyes is already different from that of other people.

The more you know, the more peaceful your mind will be.

This kind of stillness is not dry stillness, but the calmness of "Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his color".

Therefore, when he came out from the back mountain of Qingshou Temple, Zhang Zhixiang was already in the state of "heart fasting" in tranquility, and it was this tranquility that led him to walk behind Yiqiong. He was not found.

After ten years of precipitation and ten years of practice.

At the moment when the foundation was completed, Zhang Zhixiang went one step further on the Jing Gong and arrived at Zuo Wang.

Why sit and forget?

Zhuangzi said: Falling off the limbs, throwing away the intelligence, leaving the form to go to the knowledge, is the same as the Datong, this is called sitting and forgetting.

Forgetting is the only way to get it. You have to forget and forget. When you are quiet, you can’t think, forget everything, return to the innocence and innocence of the first birth, and then merge with the heaven and the earth. Take the heaven and the earth as the mother. To take the initiative and be supported by the heaven and the earth is called... the fetal breath.

When retreating, put all distracting thoughts behind you.

The pure and incomparable heart towards the Tao, the tranquility of knowing but being able to do it, let Zhang Zhixiang reach the state of sitting and forgetting, and it is the best state of sitting and forgetting.

Taking heaven and earth as the mother is the breath of the fetus.

Therefore, after he completed the foundation building and his innate energy changed from the acquired state to the innate state, he felt like a fish in water, because the heaven and the earth were nourishing and supporting him all the time.

"Ah, that's right."

"Senior brother, didn't the true qi come from refining the qi? But I feel... eh? Wait, the true qi rises from the Qi sea, goes up the Du channel, passes down the Lingtai, and enters the Qi sea through the Ren channel." , and then cycle.”

"I passed three levels? Why don't I feel it..."

Zhang Zhixiang scratched his head, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have broken through the Weilu Pass, Jiaji Pass, and Yuzhen Pass directly the moment he successfully established the foundation. He didn't even notice the breakthrough.

and.

Isn't it necessary to collect medicine first?It is necessary to refine and transform qi and accumulate enough true qi to break through the three barriers. Why did I break through directly with a ray of true qi?
It is rumored that the three passes are extremely dangerous.

Daoist Zhang Zhishun once said that "the sword is tied to the mouth of the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River is tied back." It can be seen that when the qi is refined and transformed to a certain level, it will suddenly go berserk, and the qi will go out of control and forcibly rush to the pass.

If you can't control it, and you can't "tie the Yellow River" with a "sword", the result will be very dangerous.

In mild cases, he was partially paralyzed, and in severe cases, he collapsed and died.

However, although it is dangerous to pass the three passes, it is difficult for many people to touch this danger, because refining and transforming qi is really hard work, and it takes years and months to collect herbs.

This is also related to the establishment of the foundation. If the foundation of the establishment of the foundation is not solid, the blood will not be enough.

The more you pick, the weaker your body will become.

At that time, the cauldron will dry out and the stove will burn out, and it will be all over.

Among the many materials that Zhang Zhixiang has learned, he attaches great importance to the process of collecting herbs, and don't pay too much attention to such things as medicine supplements and fasting.

Why didn't he go through all of this, just passed the third level and completed the Little Weekend?

"It seems that you have noticed too."

"Since you have already established the foundation and returned to the innate state with one innate qi, then you are not limited to refining and transforming qi. You can capture as much yang qi as you can digest in this world."

"Since you are at home, why don't you try to breathe?"

After being reminded by the old celestial master, Zhang Zhixiang tried to take the initiative to absorb the yang energy between the heaven and the earth. In an instant, he saw a strong wind dancing, just like suddenly opening a gate to release a flood, and the yang energy between the sky and the earth suddenly poured into Zhang Zhixiang's body. Like a black hole, he instantly refined those yang qi, turned them into wisps of true qi, poured into his limbs and bones, and finally gathered between Ren Du's two veins.

Infuriating energy instantly fills and grows, and the former creek is like a river rushing.

But no discomfort at all.

"This……"

"Not only the fetal breath, but at the moment when the foundation was successfully established, you also opened up the two veins of Ren and Du." The old heavenly master stroked his beard and praised, talking about Zhang Zhixiang's current situation.

Zhang Zhixiang was puzzled: "But, isn't Ren and Du's two veins already connected? Otherwise, how can the true energy circulate around the sky?"

The old master said: "The two channels of Ren and Du are naturally connected and do not intersect. The Ren and Du channels belong to yin and the governor belongs to yang. The innate yin and yang are like a clear distinction. No matter how your true qi operates, the yin and yang will not drive Nothing, let alone blending."

"Why did the ancestor celestial master refine the dragon and tiger golden elixir?"

"It is to use the heaven and the earth as the law to extract the two innate yin and yang qi, and combine them into a pill. If such a golden elixir is swallowed, it can drive the innate yin and yang two qi in the two channels of Ren and Du in the body to blend together, and then live forever .”

"Not only do you not need to refine the refined gas now, but you can also use the true energy to feed back the blood."

"It's the beginning of longevity."

Zhang Zhixiang didn't think that after ten years of hard work, he never asked about the realm, never asked where he had reached in his practice, and now when he raised his head, he was already standing on the rank of longevity.

Achievement, joy, and curiosity about longevity.

He has already embarked on the road of immortality.

The ten-year agreement with Jiajing finally lived up to it, and I don't know what is going on with Jiajing now.

"Brother, I want to go home and have a look."

I haven't been home for half a year since going up the mountain this time. Now that it's the winter solstice, I just go home to have a look. The old heavenly master naturally agrees, but Zhang Jingdu refuses unless Zhang Zhixiang brings her with him.

"Hehe, let's go play."

For the granddaughter, the old heavenly master is still very doting, and the little girl is very happy to get the answer, and she is about to go down the mountain with Zhang Zhixiang, and the matter of being bullied just now has long been forgotten.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't have anything to clean up, so he set off directly.

When he came to the snow-covered mountain gate, looking at the long steps, he thought of the thing about letting Da Fangfeng carry him down the mountain when he was a child, his thoughts drifted away, and he didn't know what happened to Da Fangfeng and Yiqiong in Shangzhou now.
