Can you live forever

Chapter 384 Teaching students according to their aptitude

Tianshi Mansion.

不同于武当山在永乐年间的大兴土木，历时12年，30万军民，建成9宫、8观、36庵堂、72岩庙、39桥、12亭等33座建筑群。

Although the Tianshi Mansion was built during the Hongwu period, Taizu was used to frugality after all.

After a little bit of construction work, it was not until the Jiajing period that Zhongguan Wu You and Jiangxi Fuyin carried out large-scale construction and expansion of the Sihan Tianshi Mansion according to the construction in the Hongwu period.

In the fifth year of Jiajing, it was mainly renovated, and only Zhenwu Hall and Zhenwu Pool were newly built.

The indissoluble bond between Daming and Zhenwu lies in Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Dynasty. During the Jingnan period, when he vowed to send troops, the sky was full of dark clouds. Yao Guangxiao said: "This is the help of Emperor Zhenwu."

After Jing Nan succeeds, Zhu Di naturally "fulfills his wish".

Respect true martial arts.

It was at this time that Wudang was changed. Wudang Mountain was originally called Taihe Mountain or Taiyue Mountain. After Yongle ten years of major repairs, Wudang was changed to Wudang, which is "not enough for real Wudang".

Wudang Mountain is regarded as the royal family temple, so there are many palaces in Wudang Mountain, even for emperors to live in.

On the contrary, there is no such kind of hospitality in Tianshi Mansion.

That is to say, in the fifth year of Jiajing, the Zhenwu Palace was newly built, so that the royal family had a place to stay for sacrifices. If Jiajing came, they could live in the palace, but Princess Yongchun could not, so the old master arranged for the princess to live in the Ganoderma lucidum garden.

There are not only all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the garden, but also spiritual animals such as elk and white cranes.

The residence here is the most elegant and interesting.

The princess lives in the Tianshi Mansion, and Zhang Jingdu is very happy to have a partner, because Jiajing intends to let Princess Yongchun get familiar with Longhu Mountain, so except for a few maids who take care of the princess, there is no female officer who disciplines her. , almost letting Yongchun be free.

The discipline of the princess was very strict in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the restriction of the royal family by the literati and the suppression of the imperial power, it was difficult for the princesses and concubines to meet each other, and they were manipulated and blocked by those female officials.

Many sons-in-law don't even see the princess a few times a year.

Naturally, Jiajing would not abide by such stereotypes and bad habits, and he felt sorry for his younger sister. Now that he is in power, he naturally wants to give her maximum freedom.

No one disciplined her, and followed the "wild girl" in the mountains.

Yongchun almost forgot about Zhang Zhixiang, and even forgot about the imperial palace. It is interesting to play in the mountains and fields every day. Among other things, she can personally taste all kinds of flowers and plants in the Ganoderma lucidum garden. participate.

Go pick strawberries, go to the fields to eat watermelons, and ride deer with Zhang Jingdu.

Going fishing, picking herbs, cooking, shopping, and even doing chivalry, everything is novel and full of fun.

The joy of letting a bird fly in a cage is beyond words.

It is true that I am happy here, not thinking about Shu.

She just visited Zhang Fushi at the foot of the mountain a few days ago, and Zhang Fushi kept praising her, and she didn't have that embarrassing restraint, nor did she have the worrying situation of a wicked mother-in-law, so she was very happy.

Woke up early this morning, sniffing the fragrance of the ganoderma lucidum garden, walked out of the garden refreshed, and went to the Jade Emperor Hall to watch the Taoist priests practicing channeling skills, and she followed suit.

There are eight Vajra exercises in Anping, and she has practiced them for a long time.

After the morning exercise, listening to the familiar morning class scriptures, she looked around, but she didn't see Dudu.

"Toot?"

Next to Zhenwu Pond, Yongchun found Zhang Jingdu. Zhang Jingdu, who obviously had dark circles under his eyes, glanced at the princess, lowered his head in disinterest, and fiddled with the small fish in the pond.

"Did you not sleep well last night?"

"It should be said that I didn't sleep much at all, ah~~"

"what happened?"

"Yesterday I heard Grandpa and Dad discussing... well, brother Anping's practice, it is so difficult to think about alchemy, brother Anping should not fail."

"Anping is very powerful, and he will definitely not fail."

Yong Chun didn't know the situation, so he was full of confidence, while Zhang Jing knew the danger. Although he believed in Zhang Zhixiang and Sanfeng Patriarch, he was still afraid.

In the past, I couldn't form the Taiyi Golden Pill, and it was just that my cultivation base was almost there.

Now it's all or nothing.

If you don't have the Taiyi Golden Pill, even if you are still alive, your lifespan will be over. Don't talk about looking forward to longevity, it's hard to say whether you can live for three to five years.

"Dudu, I've already opened up Zhou Tian these days, when do you think I'll be able to form the alchemy?"

"Get through...Zhou Tian?"

"Yeah, the breath goes up from the tail, passes through Jiaji and Yuzhen, and then comes down along the Ren meridian, Xiao Zhou Tiantong is now."

"..."

After a long pause, Zhang Jingdu finally said: "Your one is Qi and blood circulation, as long as you practice, you will be able to pass it in a month or two, and the whole body's Qi and blood are penetrated, which is the beginning of foundation building..."

"Ah? Is that so?"

"OK."

"Well, I thought I was a genius in cultivation. It turns out that even building a foundation is so difficult, no wonder you are worried about Anping's alchemy, but since Anping is so powerful, there must be no problem. Hey! Cangzhu, Cangzhu, come here, You come to judge."

A little girl in Taoist uniform just passed by carrying water.

She only arrived at Longhu Mountain at the end of June, and she has lived here for a few days. Everyone knows that she is Zhang Zhixiang's disciple, so both Yongchun and Zhang Jingdu treat her intimately.

But she has a more genuine personality, insists on practicing morning and evening, and doesn't like to play around.

During the morning class, she helped fetch water and make tea, which was something she insisted on doing outside of her job. She didn't think that being Zhang Zhixiang's apprentice was so great. It was her principle to do something within her power.

After all, you can't embarrass the master.

Called by Yong Chun, Cang Zhu heard about Master's alchemy, thought for a while, and said: "Master said that he is not a genius, but someone like Lu Xixing is a genius, so he has been using stupid skills and can only walk the road. "

"But I see that there is no one in the world who is more correct than the master, so the master should form the Taiyi Golden Pill, and there will be no problems."

She has a small face, very serious, and looks cute.

Yongchun couldn't help pulling her into his arms, kneading her little face, liked to see her slightly resisting and helpless, hugged her and said with a smile: "Xiao Cangzhu, my sister has opened up Xiao Zhoutian."

She knew it was Qi and blood circulation, but that didn't stop her from bragging.

Cang Zhu glanced at her, and said: "The whole body's qi and blood have not yet been cleansed, sister Yongchun, you are just getting started, don't be complacent, practicing hard is the right thing to do."

"Look, sister Dudu's skin is different from yours."

"Although she is a natural beauty, but her qi and blood have been unblocked, and her tendons and marrow have been washed, she is different from ordinary women."

"Sister Dudu stayed up all night, but she is still glamorous, sister Yongchun is impossible."

Yongchun's face was puffed up, and he pulled Xiao Cangzhu's face and said: "You girl, you are really pissed off, you can say everything clearly and logically, so what level have you practiced?"

Cang Zhu replied calmly: "The Qi channel has been connected, Master Teacher Zun told me to teach me to build the foundation in a few days."

Yongchun: "..."

After a moment of silence, the princess looked at Zhang Jingdu and said, "Isn't that faster than you?"

Zhang Jingdu shook her head, and said: "The point is not this, it is sixteen days for men and fourteen days for women, so generally foundation building is done when you are old, I can try it too, but this is not Are you unsure?"

"But Cangzhu is only seven years old, right?"

"How could grandpa let her establish a foundation now?"

Cangzhu replied: "Master Zhang said that there are three main aspects of Tiankui Zhi, one is that part of the meridians are unblocked, the other is that the kidney qi is sufficient, and the congenital qi has been completed."

"If there is no meridian, you have to open it yourself. If there is a slight mistake, it will be a disaster for life."

"So we need to wait until after Tiankui to find out what to do."

"In terms of kidney qi, there is another method of tonifying."

"The key point is the consummation of Xiantian Qi. It will not be considered complete until Tiankui arrives. Xiantian 384 baht Xiantian Qi will be considered complete. A painting is painted first, and then painted, and the frame is still there."

"So regardless of the consumption of lamp oil in the early years, whether there is any is another matter."

"Therefore, Master Master taught me to build the foundation, not for me to build the foundation for a hundred days, but to build the foundation until the day when the sunflower arrives, so that the heavenly sunflower will not leak out."

"Being able to preserve the innate yin to the maximum is a convenient door to open up the two veins of Ren and Du."

Zhang Jingdu understood what Cang Zhu meant, but she also knew how hard it was. Foundation building is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. For ordinary people to build a foundation, they only need to think about moving forward.

And Cangzhu still needs to control the scale, it can't be fast or slow, and sometimes it has to "stop on the water surface".

Sort out and develop the meridians by oneself, and there is nothing wrong with it, otherwise it will not be consummated. No matter how you look at it, this is a difficult operation, and you have to persist for seven years...

How is this different from those ascetic monks in Buddhism?
"Fortunately, grandpa didn't let me practice this kind of boy's skill..."

Zhang Jingdu also knows good and bad, and understands that this is the orthodox Taoist method of cultivating geniuses, Zhang Zhixiang who only studies Taoism but not academics is a different kind.

It can be seen that in the aspect of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, the old heavenly master has done an excellent job.

Just like Cangzhu's practice is risky, brother Anping's path will not be smooth sailing, but a genius is different from others. You say that brother Anping is not a genius, but he is not a genius in the traditional sense.

Therefore, brother Anping will definitely succeed.

"It's decided, I'm going to retreat too!"

Zhang Jingdu got up suddenly and said, which surprised Yongchun, and said: "You have gone to retreat, what should I do?"

"You can go down the mountain to accompany Sister Cuiqiao. Anyway, I want to retreat to build a foundation and form a pill. I want to help Brother Anping, so I can't go on so carelessly." Zhang Jingdu's eyes were rather confused. firm.

After realizing that Zhang Zhixiang would also encounter a crisis, she transformed from a carefree little girl into a young girl.

Began to have the idea of ​​striving for progress.

Two days after that.

Without Zhang Jingdu's company, Princess Yongchun felt bored. She went down the mountain to visit Zhang Fushi, and chatted with Wang Cuiqiao for a long time, but she was not as innocent and lively as before, and was a little more peaceful.

Later, she met the old heavenly master and was about to say goodbye.

The old heavenly master had already calculated that she would come, so he agreed to the princess' farewell, arranged for guards, and sent the princess back to Beijing.

On the road.

The maid asked: "Your Highness, isn't it very comfortable in Longhu Mountain? Why are you going back to Beijing all of a sudden?"

Yongchun said: "I also want to help Anping, but I don't have any talent. I must not be able to practice, so I plan to help him with something. I think after the reform, in the new era, women always hold up half the sky. Now Daming is just me as a princess, I think I have to stand up and do something."

……

In August, the capital.

Jiajing looked at his younger sister who had returned to Beijing, and there was a flash of doting between his brows. There was only one of his brothers and sisters left now. His father left early, and only their siblings and their mother depended on each other for life. The family relationship was naturally much more important than that of other emperors.

"Why did you come back? Anping didn't go back to Longhu Mountain, feeling bored?"

"It's not boring. I'm very happy in Longhushan. I've never been so happy. I just feel that the air is so fresh. I sleep very peacefully every day, and I even breathe very smoothly."

"That is?"

"They are all working hard, and I also want to do something, otherwise I always feel that I am not worthy of him. I know that he likes Miss Cuiqiao and Miss Wang, but he doesn't like me. I have also heard the folk rumors, Miss Wang I held a wedding with him in Qinyuan, and I didn't ask for a title, but because of my status as a princess, I gave it to me."

Jiajing remained silent for a while, stroked his younger sister's hair, and said, "Silly girl, you deserve it."

Yongchun shook his head and said: "There is nothing that should or should not be done about emotional matters, and the royal family has not given up anything. That's what the great grandfather wanted to do. We just did what we should do."

"I like people like him. He is the most upright hero and the most suave fairy."

"I don't want someone like Miss Wang wronged by him to marry me, and I don't want to listen to the world's slander."

"I want to marry him dignifiedly."

Jiajing nodded and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Princess Yongchun said: "Brother, I heard that there are Yangzhou skinny horses, Taishan aunts, Datong mothers-in-law, and West Lake boat girls in this world. These are still on the stage, and there are countless prostitutes for folk entertainment."

Jiajing: "Do you want to..."

Yongchun: "Brother, please give me the Jiaofang Secretary. Women can be famous all over the world with their sex skills, but they must never give in and let others entertain them."

"How many women in the world are bought and sold by others for their own selfishness?"

"Forcibly abducted, how much?"

"The folks are stunning, although it is a crime to conceive a jade, why do you need to take refuge in a wealthy family? There should be a way out, elegant arts, famous in Beijing, relying on the beauty of a woman, why can't you be like a scholar in the imperial examination In that way, to shine in the world?"

"Why should the best woman become the plaything of Shilin? For them to hunt?"

"Why are women inferior to men, and the folks value men over women?"

"I want to tell the world that your girl may be talented and able to stand out, so she shouldn't be drowned."

"There are yin and yang in the world, and women do not compete with men, but in terms of standard talents, I want to give women a way out, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, embroidery, medical care, cooking and cleaning, or Management coordination..."

"Anyway."

"A good woman is talented and virtuous, not inferior to a man."
