my God

After listening to the master's narration, Song Yan couldn't help but lamented the legendary life of the master. At the same time, he felt that the mountain god was so arrogant that he showed his disgust to the fullest, and even scolded him to "fuck off".

"Go to sleep." Daoist Yang felt that the time was almost up, so he pulled the quilt to get ready to sleep.

"Master," Song Yan called him softly, but stopped talking.

Daoist Yang looked back at him and motioned him to continue.

"What do you mean when you say you have important things to do and time is running out?" Song Yan still asked the question that had been in his mind for two days.

Daoist Yang was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "I have been investigating one thing, and now I finally have a clue, but this trip is dangerous, and I don't know if I will come back..."

"What's the matter, can I help you?" Song Yan asked hastily.

"This is my private matter, so I don't want anyone to get involved, and you don't want to ask any more. You just need to practice what I gave you and pass it on to help me." Yang Daochang said and lay down under the quilt , close your eyes, no more words.

"Yes, Master." Song Yan could only nod his head in agreement, then spread out his bedding, lay down and extinguished the candles on the window sill.

***

After getting up in the morning, Daoist Yang found out his own set of clothes and handed them to Song Yan, saying, "You can wear my Taoist robe first. After breakfast, I will go down the mountain and make two sets of clothes for you."

Song Yan took it and put it on her body one by one.

After the Qing army entered the customs that year, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty required that the Han people must wear full-style hairstyles and wear full-color clothes. Only monks such as Buddhists and Taoists were spared.Buddhist clothing has some exotic styles, so only Taoist robes have passed down several styles of Hanfu.

Taoist robes can also be divided into cross-collared and opposite-collared. The set Yang Daochang gave Song Yan is a cross-collared casual dress.

Song Yan was a little clumsy in wearing it for the first time. Yang Daochang stretched out his hand to help, and said, "Collar your right lapel, and tie your belt like this...you wear your own shoes and socks first, and I will go down the mountain to buy them for you..."

After Song Yan put it on, he was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, and his long hair was also tied into a bun with a one-character scarf. He looked like a handsome Taoist, but he couldn't look down because he was still wearing white sports socks on his feet and blue skate shoes.

After packing up, the master and apprentice went to the front yard, kowtowed to the gods and elders in each hall, and then went to the courtyard for morning class.They sat cross-legged on the red pine table, meditating quietly against the morning light.

Yang Daochang opened his eyes suddenly, and looked towards the big locust tree behind Song Yan. At some point, a crow appeared on the tree, looking at Song Yan with black eyes.

Yang Daochang clasped his fists at the crow and nodded slightly, saluting respectfully.The crow glanced at him, lowered his head and began to comb the feathers on his body and underarms with his long beak, and stopped staring at Song Yan.

Daoist Yang heaved a sigh of relief, and then went to look at Song Yan intently.Just watching Song Yan perform a few sets of punches yesterday, he knew that Song Yan had achieved some success in practicing qi, and he must have formed a pill.Looking at it now, he couldn't help but be amazed at the apprentice's cultivation speed.

Taoist Qi relies on meditation to practice, and guides Qi into the body through thoughts. Through the eight meridians, finally open up the collaterals of the whole body, so that all the meridians and blood vessels of the whole body can be connected.

After all the meridians are cleared and the qi can flow freely in the body, you can start practicing inner alchemy.

The first step in the practice of inner alchemy in Taoism is to "ignite the fire".The so-called igniting means "beginning", and all practice begins here, but where to ignite and how to ignite are the secrets of each family, which can only be known after being taught by the master.Daoist Yang liked Song Yan, and he had no secrets from the beginning, and personally instructed him to practice, so Song Yan was able to practice inner alchemy smoothly.

The second step is "building the foundation", which is to lay the foundation. The foundation of a tall building is very important and requires a process, which is called "building the foundation in a hundred days".Song Yan was able to enter tranquility in three days, opened up all blood vessels in seven days, and successfully established the foundation in thirty days.Such a speed of cultivation must be called a genius.

The third step is refining gas.The reason why Taoist kung fu is called internal kung fu is because it mainly cultivates the spirit, energy and spirit, which is different from external kung fu, which only trains brass tendons and iron bones.After introducing qi into the body, one needs to use the circulation of qi in the body to refine one's own "essence". When the "essence" is refined like qi, it can be circulated at will, and a millet-sized qi nucleus will form at the lower dantian. This is Xiadan.

The lower elixir rotates on its own in the abdomen, also known as the river cart rotation. As long as the practice continues, the elixir will become tighter and tighter, and it will grow bigger and bigger.You don't need to bother to refine the alchemy anymore, and you can proceed to the fourth step at this time - knotting the alchemy.

All the congenital essence and acquired essence in the body are refined and transformed into qi and stored in the lower dantian and transformed into elixir, which is called Jiexia Dan; through consciousness, the Qi and blood in the heart and lungs are conditioned and submitted to the crimson palace, making the crimson palace strong and circulating Unceasingly, it becomes the driving force of the whole body's qi and blood, which is called Jiezhong Dan.

After forming the alchemy, you can proceed to the fifth step, refining Qi and transforming God.The qi and spirit in the body are continuously blended, and finally condensed in the Niwan Palace. At this point, all the tangible and intangible substances and potentials contained in the human body are gathered here, and the inner strength of the person is thus reached to the extreme. This is the knot. Dan.

The sixth step is the biggest difference between a Taoist and a mortal - refining the gods to return the emptiness.Condensing the god and soul of a person, and then cultivating, one can emerge the Yangshen.The Yang God is separated from the body, and can travel all over the country in an instant, and temporarily get rid of the shackles of the physical body.

If you want to get rid of the shackles of the physical body forever, you must practice to the seventh step-refine the virtual and the way.Only by joining the Tao can one shed the mortal body and swim freely in the heavens and the earth. This is the true freedom and freedom, which is what people often call ascension to immortality.

The purpose of cultivating Taoism and immortality is to get rid of the mortal body.

Yang Daochang was filled with gratitude for a while.He has practiced for dozens of years, but he has just formed the upper alchemy, and his beloved little apprentice has only received a few pointers from him, and has been practicing alone for three years, and now he has begun to challenge the cultivation of the alchemy.Comprehension, luck, innate conditions, and acquired environment can all affect the practice of a Taoist priest. From this, it can be seen that this disciple is destined to become a fairy.

After Song Yan finished training, he sank to his dantian and slowly opened his eyes.Seeing that the master was staring at him for a moment, he couldn't help asking: "Master, but what did I do wrong?"

Daoist Yang said with a slight smile: "No, you practiced well, keep working hard!"

"Thank you, master, for your compliment!" Song Yan couldn't help smiling brightly after receiving master's approval.

"Let's go, master has something for you." Daoist Yang led his apprentice back to the bedroom.

Layman Chen and Layman Liu were on duty today. At this time, they had already gone up the mountain and were busy making breakfast in the kitchen.Seeing Daoist Yang and Song Yanchen coming back from practice, he smiled and greeted them.

The master and apprentice returned the gift with a smile, and returned to the east bedroom.

"Master, I said that I want to teach you spells today, but I have to test you first." Daoist Yang sat on the edge of the kang and said seriously to his apprentice.

Song Yan stood respectfully in front of Master, bowed his head and saluted: "Master, please enlighten me!"

"I gave you a book of various hand formulas before, how are you doing?"

"The apprentice has already practiced to the proficiency!" Song Yan said confidently.

"Show me the Ten Heavenly Stem Jue and the Twelve Earthly Branch Jue first." Yang Daochang asked the first question.

Song Yan stretched out his left hand and pinched all the tactics quickly.

This question is too simple, and they are all basic and necessary skills. Daoist Yang is just a routine inspection. How can he be praised?So Yang Daochang continued with a straight face: "The Xiantian Bagua Jue and the Houtian Bagua Jue."

Song Yan quickly demonstrated two kinds of gossip techniques.

"Five thunder tactics."

"Dingjia tactics."

"Summoning the Gods."

……

The hand formulas Yang Daochang asked were no longer as regular as the heavenly stems and earthly branches and gossip, but they were all very important hand formulas used to coordinate spells, and Song Yan completed them quickly and accurately one by one.

Daoist Yang finally nodded, said "yes", then turned around and took out an old book from a side cabinet and handed it to Song Yan, and seriously warned: "This is a simple magic book left by my master. Go to study and practice."

"Thank you, Master!" Song Yan respectfully stretched out his hands to take the book.

Practicing spells is naturally from simple to complex, and this book given by Daoist Yang can be said to be the foundation of spells.Song Yan opened the book and flipped through it. Seeing that most of the talismans were easy to imitate, and the mantras were concise and easy to pronounce, he secretly decided to learn all the contents of the book by heart within three days.

After breakfast, Daoist Yang went down the mountain alone. Firstly, he had to make clothes for his disciples, and secondly, he had some private matters to attend to, so he would not return tonight.

After Song Yan sent his master out, he put aside his respectful temperament and started walking around the courtyard casually.

At this time, no pilgrims came to offer incense. The two lay Buddhists were already old and liked to be quiet, and they were on duty in the main hall and side hall at this time, so the courtyard seemed quite deserted for a while.

Song Yan looked around for a while, then locked on to the big mulberry tree, and then walked towards it quickly.

"Song Yan greets the god!" Song Yan stood under the tree and bowed respectfully towards the trunk.

For a long while, there was no movement on the tree.Song Yan looked up and saw that there was no crow, so he had to ask again: "Can the emperor show up so that Song Yan can see his true face?"

Although Song Yan was so tormented three years ago that he was almost scared to pee, but he connected the various abnormalities at that time with Layman Liu's behavior of worshiping crows, and he guessed that the mountain god Bacheng here is a crow spirit.

He would not look down on a crow that has become a spirit. On the contrary, since both the master and the master are willing to worship it, why should he be arrogant as a little Taoist?

It's just that he was very curious, what would it look like if a crow that had become a spirit turned into a human?

Could it be that it is dark and not autumnal, very similar to Africans?

Thinking of this, Song Yan could no longer maintain a respectful heart, and couldn't help chuckling.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by.Song Yan felt something in his heart, and suddenly looked up, and saw a crow with black feathers standing on a branch, looking down at him for a moment.

There was obvious displeasure in its eyes, and Song Yan couldn't help but secretly said: Oops!It hears my heart!
