My Side Job is a Trader

It was the first time for Zhang Xin to participate in this kind of gathering among practitioners, so as a newcomer, he didn't need to do much, just sit on the sidelines and watch.

"I'll come first."

At this time, an old Taoist priest in a red Taoist robe stood up.

Daoist Songfeng introduced at the right time: "This is Daoist Ganyangzi of the Fuyan School, who belongs to the Quanzhen School and is quite famous in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui."

Zhang Xin nodded, and then asked curiously: "Why is his Taoist robe so gorgeous? Shouldn't a Taoist priest's attire be very plain and blue?"

Daoist Songfeng laughed, and said: "Actually, there are many colors of Taoist robes in our Taoism. Among them, yellow is only worn when performing rituals, and is not usually worn. Purple and red are only worn by people with high status. , this Qianyangzi has cultivation at any rate, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a great mage. In fact, everyone here is qualified to wear purple or red Taoist robes, but many people think the color is too conspicuous, so they only love it. Taoist robes with blue as the main color."

Afterwards, Daoist Songfeng asked suspiciously: "Hey, haven't you usually read a lot of books about Taoism? Logically speaking, you should also know about Taoist attire and so on."

Zhang Xin rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said: "Well, I usually only pay attention to the method of cultivation, and I have seen Taoist etiquette and so on, so I just take a look, but I really haven't paid attention to the aspect of dressing. "

"From this I came to a conclusion, that is, real lead is the air in the body, real mercury is the god in the body, and real soil is the essence in the body. The primordial essence in the body is used to warm and nourish the primordial qi and primordial spirit, when the primordial qi and primordial spirit grow to a certain level, the dragon and the tiger can meet to form a golden elixir."

"When the fetus is not yet formed, it is the innate qi, and the last qi is divided into three parts to form the so-called spirit, qi and spirit. Since the three may not coexist harmoniously, various emotions will arise. The purpose of our acquired practice is only One, that is to return the acquired nature to the innate, gather the spirit, energy and spirit, gather the three flowers on the top, and return to the three elements. Therefore, when the spirit, energy and spirit collide with each other, we must try our best to restrain all kinds of emotions. All the falsehoods on the road can lead to the true self. The above are the words of the poor family, you can refer to and discuss them.”

After Gan Yangzi talked eloquently for a long time, Zhang Xin felt that this person had really put in a lot of effort in inner alchemy, because he had many opinions that coincided with Zhang Xin's.

"Brother Ganyangzi, what you said today has given us a lot of inspiration. Although the method of inner alchemy practice was only spread by Quanzhen Dao at the beginning, no matter whether it is Quanzhen Dao or Zhengyi Dao, it is almost They are all studying the mysteries of inner alchemy. Unfortunately, the ancients used too many metaphors, which caused our descendants to be confused when reading these cultivation methods. The real lead and the real mercury can never be understood. Listen to you now, I wait It’s a sudden realization.”

Gan Yangzi showed complacency, but he was a true cultivator after all, so he quickly controlled his emotions, bowed down and saluted everyone,

With the beginning of Qian Yangzi, everyone naturally let go later, and expressed their understanding of cultivation, and some people took the opportunity to ask everyone for advice on various problems encountered in cultivation.

Among them, what benefited Zhang Xin the most was the Buddhist practice.

Because the fundamental ideas of the two schools are different, Taoism emphasizes the dual cultivation of life and will not give up the body easily, while Buddhism believes that only the consciousness is the root, as long as the spirit is strong enough, even if you leave the body, you will not die.

The more Zhang Xin listened to it, the more he felt that the way of Buddhist practice was very close to his current method of refining gods.

But only the back is different, but in the early stage, it is all about cultivating and strengthening the spiritual power. When the spiritual power is strong enough, Wen Shidao's method is to break through the entrance, open up the connection between the human body and the universe, and use the so-called immortal energy in the void Nourish the body and improve the quality of the body, while Buddhism directly abandons the body, resists the laws of heaven and earth with strong spiritual power, and goes to the legendary Western Paradise.

At present, it seems that the Taoist approach is safer. After all, whether the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss exists is still a mystery. Although Zhang Xin has some guesses in his heart, he has not verified it after all.

But Taoism pays attention to immortality and life, and the purpose of practice is to maintain longevity, which not only refers to longevity at the level of consciousness, but also longevity in the physical body.

The longevity of Taoism is in line with the longevity in Zhang Xin's mind, or the longevity in the minds of most people.

During the whole day, everyone was discussing and communicating. Zhang Xin kept listening to everyone saying that although in his opinion, these so-called practice problems were nothing, but after all, he was a newcomer, and a newcomer should behave like a newcomer. After all, he could Not the pushy type.

Of course, there was one exception, and that was Zhang Lingdao and Zhang Tianshi who were sitting on the side.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the contemporary celestial masters with noble status are just like Xiaodaotong at this moment, serving tea and water for everyone from time to time, and sitting aside to listen to everyone's discussions when they are free. The celestial master who has reached the age of knowing the destiny also feels some admiration and sympathy.

What I admire is that this person is very firm in his pursuit of Taoism. In order to be able to practice, he is willing to let go of the airs of a celestial master and serve tea and water for everyone.

The sympathy is because this person cannot practice inner alchemy, which means that this person is really not talented enough, otherwise, there are so many people who can ask for advice, and he would have been able to get started long ago.

A day later, a grand meeting that symbolized the entire Chinese practice world was officially over.

After Zhang Xin returned to Tianshi Mansion for dinner, he continued to wander around.

When he came to the Temple of Thunder, Zhang Xin suddenly felt something strange.

Zhang Xin let out a sigh, turned around and walked towards other temples, the strange feeling disappeared, and then turned to the Temple of Thunder again, the strange feeling reappeared.

Zhang Xin became a little interested and started wandering around the Temple of Thunder.

The naked eye really couldn't see anything, so Zhang Xin released his divine sense and carefully inspected every inch of the hall.

As a result, nothing special was found.

However, Zhang Xin has always been convinced of the feeling, so Zhang Xin opened his eyes, and he was shocked by the result.

Because he can see that he is in a very strong aura through his eyes, but the aura seems to be restrained by a certain formation, and the aura disappears when he leaves this hall.

Zhang Xin observed the aura carefully, and found that the center of the aura was right in the right hand raised high by the statue.

Zhang Xin subconsciously felt that there should be something special about the right hand of the statue, so he concentrated on looking at the right hand with his heavenly eyes.

"Huh? What is this?"

Zhang Xin seemed to see a piece of jade.

Zhang Xin put away his Celestial Eyesight, walked out of the main hall and looked around, and found no one around, then hurried back to the temple, jumped lightly to stand on the divine table, and then carefully groped the right hand of the divine statue.

Not long after, Zhang Xin showed a surprised expression, took out the jade piece hidden between the fingers of the god statue, and then quickly jumped off the god's case.
