I am immortal

If one were to follow sideways in practicing the Dharma, Qi Wuhuo could now enter the Tao and practice magical powers. However, if one wanted to follow the majestic and righteous path, he would need all his energy, energy and mind.

The Yuan Shen has been achieved and the Yuan Qi has been cultivated, but the Yuan Jing has no way out.

This beautiful tiger asked sternly, "Do you want to listen to me?" His solemn expression was like that of a rough Taoist who was watching the snow and discussing Taoism beside the bamboo forest in the snow. The young man was stunned, then put down the bamboo basket, straightened his clothes, and responded with his hands. road:

"I have my wish, but I dare not ask for my ear."

The tiger laughed.

The sound shook for miles, shaking the pine forest. Snowflakes fell from the tree trunks. The tiger smiled and said, "Please take a seat."

The ground covered with white snow is like a dojo. The tiger is sitting on the top bluestone, and Qi Wulu is sitting on one side. Many spiritual beasts are sitting down one by one. The apes are scratching their ears and cheeks. The spiritual python coiled up and swallowed the snake's message, and the flying bird gathered its wings and landed on the branches.

The tiger's eyes swept over it, and then he slowly spoke:

"Today, a new Taoist friend came to the banquet. I would like to preach that when practicing, the most important thing is Yuan Jing! The so-called Yuan Jing is the source of flesh and blood for all living things. Ordinary warriors and heretics all say that Jing is the qi, blood, muscles and bones. In fact, it is far wrong. Practicing in this way is like looking for a fish against a tree. The more you practice, the farther you go."

"What is Yuan Jing?"

"The great road has a saying -"

"Looking for images in the trance, looking for the true essence in the darkness."

"Whether there is anything that comes from this, how can we think about it without seeing it?"

"In Chapter 21 of the Taoist Classic of Taoism, it is said that Tao is a thing, but it is trance. It is trance, and there are images in it; it is trance, and there are things in it; it is ethereal and dark. , there is essence in it.”

"This essence means Yuan Jing."

"It is called trance, and it is called Yaoming, which means that this essence does not have a tangible and qualitative existence, but is densely packed in the internal organs, limbs and hundreds of bones. It is also said that it is the search for the true scripture in Yaoming."

"What is seeking? It is searching."

“What to seek, seek in God.”

"That's what Daozu meant by this."

"The essence is deeply hidden in the limbs and bones, but it cannot be sensed in ordinary times. It can only be sensed when one is in a trance. When the spirit is used as the body and the mind is used, it seems that there is If there is no opportunity, [pick it and refine it] among the limbs and bones!"

"This is the [refining] skill in refining the energy."

"It means to find the essence of the limbs and bones, collect it and refine it."

"And why refine it?"

"Looking at the true nature of one thing and observing the nature of all things, it is nothing more than focusing on the original energy - because this essence is the original substance of all life and the foundation of life! In some great dharma lines, it is called the [Life Treasure] .”

"Retrieve your own life treasure from the transformation of heaven and earth, and when you reach this state, you can live a full life, be immune to natural disasters and man-made disasters, be immune to all diseases, and die without illness. You are called a Taoist priest."

The tiger's deep voice echoed, describing the Taoist practice method.

After saying it slowly, he shook his head and sighed:

"Refining essence and transforming Qi; this is a two-step process. It is to extract the essence of the internal organs and get back my life treasure from the creation of heaven and earth. Only then will I know that my destiny is mine. Then I use the spirit to control the Qi, and the Qi Combined with Jingjing, it turns into an innate Qi, which is unfettered from now on."

"Escape from the mundane world and take a step further. People can call themselves real people. Beasts can shed their animal form and can be worshiped."

"But when the Taoism was spread outside the sect, there were more and more fallacies, and it became a step. Later, you actually had to refine your own flesh and blood to temper your inner energy. What a fallacy..."

"What you cultivate is your own perfection. Flesh and blood are as important as soul."

"How can you pick it and refine it?"

"The Taoist ancestors hid their key points and key points in just a few words. It is a pity that those who do not have Taoism will not be able to pass on their true knowledge."

When the tiger sighed, it was like an old Taoist who had been walking in the world for a long time. It was extremely incomprehensible to the practices of the ancestors of the Taoist sect. However, his body was majestic and his spirit was grand, like a hero, and Qi Wuhuo It dawned on me.

Muttered to himself: "[Refining Essence], [Transforming Qi]."

The knowledge that the old man who claimed to have the same surname as Dao Ancestor told him seemed to become more and more clear.

The tiger glanced at him and continued with a deep voice:

"There are words in the Taoist scriptures of the Taoist ancestors. They are very true and there is faith in them."

"From ancient times to the present, his name has never been forgotten, so that he can be read by many famous people."

"How do I know the status of all the masters?"

"The essence is very true, which means that the existence of Yuan Jing is real and true, and Yue means "revelation"; "Fu" means "beginning", which means that Yuan Jing is the source of all things and the beginning of all things."

"Especially important!"

A bird with feathers that exuded strange brilliance lit up with a strange light in its eyes. It was overjoyed and lowered its head and said: "Now I have learned the method of practicing Yuanjing!"

"I beg the tiger to teach me the righteous Dharma!"

An ape also scratched its ears and cheeks, then knelt down and said: "Please teach me the righteous Dharma, the righteous Dharma!"

The tiger had a majestic aura, frowned, shook his head, and spoke in a deep voice:

"The way of transforming Qi is the way of real people. Your Qi has not yet been perfected, the spirit cannot leave the body, and the essence has not yet been extracted. If I teach it to you, even if it is the true path, it will be cultivated into heresy. !”

Menghu glanced at Qi Wuhuo.

Qi Wuhuo lowered his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart.

What the old man told him before was the most basic method, using the spirit to control Qi, and using Qi to wash and refine the flesh and blood. The flesh and blood will be harmonious and pure, and the essence will naturally condense. However, the tiger in front of him has taught an ancestral method, which is Yu Yao Mingming. Among them, collect and refine the essence, and steal my life treasure.

One is doing nothing, the other is practicing gradually.

But they seem to confirm each other.

At this moment, the tiger glanced at the small cyan cauldron, raised his paw and clapped it. The cauldron was suddenly suspended in the void. In just a flash, it was already emitting infinite blue color, and in an instant it was transformed from a small cauldron. The cauldron turned into a huge cauldron, with ancient tattoo patterns on it and an iron ring biting into its mouth. There were three of them, forming three positions, making a clanging sound.

The cauldron is in the void, filled with fire, and rotates nine times.

All the medicinal materials found by the spirits from more than a dozen mountains nearby were melted into it and tempered with tiger fire. Gradually, a rich and incomparable medicinal fragrance began to emit.

Even though it was not alcohol, they were so drunk that all the spirits in the hall were shaking their heads, falling down, and their eyes were wandering, as if they were going to be drunk that day. Only the young man in blue shirt was sitting, and the tiger slapped the big cauldron, making a roar. Long's voice was like the turning of water.

"Here, please drink it!"

The green spiritual liquid was refined, and then lotus leaves curled up in the air, transforming into cups one after another. The spiritual liquid contained was as green as jade, but also crystal clear.

The tiger drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Wuhuo Yuanshen didn't realize the malice. He was holding the wine. The tiger persuaded him to drink it quickly before the effect of the medicine wore off, and he drank it all in one gulp.

The spiritual liquid entered his throat, as if he was slightly drunk, but he could immediately feel the difference. His body was drunk, his qi and blood were stable, and his soul was coming out. Qi Wuhuo felt it clearly, and his soul was slightly out of his body, and his flesh and blood Condensed, the vitality flows through the limbs and bones.

Yao Yao secretly collects and refines the essence.

The beasts were staggering drunkenly, and the young man was sitting in the snow.

The fierce tiger was perched on the bluestone, hitting the cauldron, making a loud sound, and then laughed loudly:

"Tao is a thing, but it is in a daze."

"Ask for it, but you won't get it."

"You also practice Taoism!"

"Seeking immortality!"

"Immortality!"

"You see the world is as big as a disk, this is my pill!"

"If you want to get rid of it, just go out and leave it. Don't meditate on the form of form."

Drinking the spiritual liquid after laughing is like drinking alcohol.

Snow falls on the mountains.

Tiger preached.

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes slightly and circulated his breath.

There is a great medicine in all things. I can collect it and refine it. I can cast off the creation and incarnation and return my original energy.

I don't know how much time has passed, but I can vaguely feel an extremely pure presence gathering around my limbs.

The tiger raised his eyes and widened his eyes.

So fast? !

Yuanjing, gathering.
