Beyond Deep Space

He resolutely and resolutely refused, saying: "No!"

"Cut!" Lao Chen was also very determined, stepping forward to force him.

Wang Xuan looked serious, and said: "Fairy Jian asked me to give you a message to practice hard, saying that your strength is too low, after three years, most terrible things will happen in the world, old Chen, you have to work hard !"

Old Chen's expression was unkind, obviously he didn't believe him.

Wang Xuan said: "Old Chen, I advise you to be kind. By the way, you should send the monk to Xinxing in a short time. I guess he is waiting for a deep sleep. If you don't send you, you will definitely be beaten for another night!"

"Wang Jiaozu, are you threatening me with someone else?" Lao Chen walked over, but immediately his face changed, and he yawned profusely. He knew what was going to happen in an instant.

Aoki looked at Wang Xuan's mouth, is it really open?As soon as I finished speaking, it worked!

"There's something to say!" Old Chen stood upright, staring his eyes wide, not wanting to close them, but in the end he couldn't stop the drowsiness, so he had no choice but to lay down on the bed... and closed his eyes peacefully.

After a short time, he woke up and looked at Wang Xuan as if he had seen a ghost. Xiao Wang really hit the spot, and the old monk urged him to hurry on the road.

Fortunately, this time he was not beaten all night, the old Bodhisattva was very kind, and demonstrated the secret of Buddhism for him again - Bodhisattva Boxing.

Old Chen thought about it, he should treat Wang Jiaozu kindly, he was a little afraid of his physique of attracting ghosts, so stop sending those ancients to him.

Before this, he was still ignorant and fearless, and he was looking forward to it, wanting to attract those immortals to learn the magic of immortality.Now he has seen through some clues that these ancient people are all big pits, each with deep thoughts, and if they get involved, they will be in big trouble in the future.

He felt a little sympathetic to Lao Wang now, it was obvious that he was being targeted, and it made him panic when he saw it.

"What do you think will happen in the future?" Lao Chen asked, inquiring about the situation.

Wang Xuan waved his hand and said: "It's no big deal, don't you still have time? Hurry up and practice, as long as you are strong enough, these are all fine. What kind of peerless red-clothed female fairy, if you dare to trouble me in the future, you must make her look good ! As for those big monsters, if they refuse to obey discipline, Wang Jiaozu promises to beat them to death, or else they will be suppressed directly to pull carts and grinders!"

Aoki is speechless, Old Wang has floated into the atmosphere!

After the rhetoric, Wang Xuan was quiet for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "The situation is too complicated, and the future cannot be described."

He looked at Old Chen and said, "Help me check the information. Among the various records about people who became immortals in ancient times, see if there is any description of the 'Old Testament Lock Mantra'."

Wang Xuan didn't hide anything, and told about his experience in the interior not long ago.

Old Chen's expression was solemn, and he felt that the problem was quite serious. He needed someone to look into these things carefully.

Wang Xuan said: "Old Chen, you should book a boat ticket for me. I think it's better to go on the road in the near future. In addition, if you tell me about the problems of the ancient art road, I guess I won't be able to come back in a year or two."

Old Chen was dumbfounded. After talking for a long time, Wang Jiaozu still wanted to run away?Those bold words are in vain!

In the end, he nodded and said: "The reason why I didn't want to talk to you about the problems of the ancient realm level was that I was afraid that it would restrict your path. I think the ancient art path is very complicated and has some problems. From pre-Qin From the age of alchemists to the early days of Taoism, the practice methods were constantly changing, and in the later period of Taoism, it changed again. I think there are some terrible things in it, and some famous people may have accidents in the end."

After hearing this, Wang Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Old Chen, have you noticed some problems with the Ascension Man after starting from this aspect? What I just said, and what you may encounter in the future The traps and dangerous situations set by the ancients, can we find some answers from these old techniques? Tell me quickly!"

Chapter 82

Old Chen shook his head and said, "I'm just skeptical. I haven't reached the level of a Bodhisattva. Can I point out their mistakes? It's very difficult."

After intensively researching the old techniques, following some lines from the past to the present, he discovered some problems, but if he really wanted him to point out where Lie Xian was wrong, it would be a bit embarrassing for Lao Chen.

But being able to have doubts and pick out possible divergences is enough to prove that Lao Chen has intentions. Of course, this is also related to the difference between today and the past.

Influenced by the background of the age, the ancients had their own limitations.

Now is the era of the information explosion, black technologies emerge in endlessly, and the changes are drastic. After such baptism, coupled with the fact that Lao Chen is at the forefront of today's old technology field, his vision is indeed beyond the inherent scope.

Wang Xuan asked him to explain all the problems. This is very important to him. In the future, he will inevitably encounter some big pitfalls of the ancients.

Regardless of whether those ancients died or not, the traps and situations left behind are still in effect, and must be strictly guarded against.

"In the pre-Qin period, the root method was the main method, which can be described as extremely splendid. It has influenced so far and benefited all those who have embarked on the old art path."

The so-called root method involves gas extraction, meditation, internal cultivation, etc. It is of inestimable value and irreplaceable for improving the body and strengthening the spirit.

The alchemist used the root method to enter the inner scene, which directly led to the qualitative change of the old technique, crossed the natural barrier, and truly sublimated and detached.

"An alchemist, another great achievement is alchemy, which is mainly to smelt minerals in the alchemy furnace, quench the raw liquid, and extract the essence, in order to obtain the final elixir, so as to live forever. At that time, there were few records of alchemy minerals. But they are definitely rare treasures and gods in the world.”

Wang Xuan was surprised, didn't alchemists make medicine into pills?

Old Chen said: "In the early days, it was indeed mining and refining secret mines, melting gods that fell from the sky, etc., and not taking medicinal herbs."

It wasn't until later, following the discovery of the secret path of the heavenly medicine after the inner scene, that the alchemist began to consider smelting those rare medicines!

The so-called heavenly medicine is not a medicine in this world. Lao Chen mentioned a record last time, demanding a rare medicine. Looking back, it may be in the sunset glow on the horizon above the crowds and the world of mortals.

It can be said that alchemists successively discovered the two secret paths of the inner scene and the heavenly medicine, which led to a qualitative leap in the old technique and reached its peak of glory.

At that time, which of the top alchemists didn't have a few sacred beasts and holy birds?Going out often means pulling chariots by Lin beasts, or visiting friends in the East China Sea on the back of a phoenix.

When later generations look at this part of the history of the old art road, they are all amazed, and it is difficult to reproduce that kind of spectacle.

Because, almost all the gods, birds and beasts in this world were captured and killed by the top alchemists.

"At that time, there were indeed a group of top alchemists who embarked on the path of ascension to immortality and received the thunder bombardment. But as these people became immortals one after another, the brilliance of the alchemists came to the end, and it came to an end."

Old Chen lamented that just after the heyday of the alchemist, he had suddenly dimmed, which made him have all kinds of doubts and associations.

"Combining what happened to you now and what I have experienced, I feel that the water in the inner scene is very deep, full of mystery and a little scary. In addition, the heavenly medicine is too difficult to find, and it is extremely difficult to pick it. Two secret roads They are gradually being blocked, which is the root cause of the decline of alchemists."

Old Chen expressed his conjecture and said: "So, later Qin Huang asked the alchemist Xu Fu to pick the elixir of immortality, that is, the heavenly medicine. He had to go to sea to avoid disaster. He probably knew that he couldn't find it at this time."

Qin Huang wanted to live forever and wanted the elixir, but it was impossible to succeed at that stage.

"I suspect that something happened to some important figures among the alchemists, and that's why they declined. Even the alchemists who have become immortals may realize something in the end." Old Chen is extremely serious, but unfortunately, his level of realm is far behind those people after all. After searching all the ancient books, there are only some speculations, and no evidence can be found.

Wang Xuan frowned. Many things happened in the past of the old art path, giving people the feeling of fog everywhere. It needs to be continuously strengthened in order to slowly approach and explore.

Lao Chen continued: "When the alchemists came to an end, they had already begun to accept the medicinal herbs of the present world. They would add some of them to the alchemy and mix them with minerals for extraction. It was at this time that Taoism took over. In addition to the special gold stones, they began to add a lot of alchemy. Chicao and so on."

According to Lao Chen's understanding, times have changed, and latecomers have discovered certain problems and began to expand into other fields.

"In the early days, Taoism paid attention to the heart, that is, the heart is pure and quiet, and the cultivation of the mind is the main focus, focusing on the accumulation of spiritual energy. In the Taoist classics, it is believed that the Tao is empty and quiet, and it is expected to use the mind to join the Tao."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "However, these are too high and too far, and the requirements for the mind and spiritual realm are too high, and many people simply cannot get started. Just imagine, who is the one who proposed this lofty road? Lao Zhuang! The "Tao Te Ching" mentions "to achieve the extreme of emptiness and keep quietness", and in "Zhuangzi·Human World", this secret method is clearly explained that "the only way is to gather the emptiness, and the emptiness is also the heart". It is a pity that ordinary people It’s hard to go down that road.”

Wang Xuan was taken aback when he heard that, is what the old colleague said reliable?He hurriedly looked it up quietly on his mobile phone, and he really found out that the Taoist practice in the early days was indeed heart fasting, heel breathing, etc., and later there were guidance, breathing, etc.

Sure enough, Lao Chen talked about heel rest again, saying: "The secret method of Xinzhai is a bit high, and it needs a specific path to walk, so there is heel rest, the internal breathing of the fingers is deep, and it reaches the heel."

"Zhuangzi Great Master" once recorded: "He sleeps without dreams, he feels no worries, he eats unwillingly, and his breath is deep. The breath of a real person is on his heels, and the breath of everyone is on his throat."

Later, Taoism was perfected in various ways, and thus there were more specific methods such as guiding and exhaling.

Otherwise, following the path of Lao Zhuang, not many people can practice, and the scriptures and classics are too far-reaching, and it will stop most people just at the initial stage.

During this period, Taoism pushed alchemy to a higher level, burning alchemy with various secret methods, and after taking it, it can transform one's own yin quality into yang energy, which can be seen from the Taoist theory of pure yang.

"At this stage, the most important discovery of Taoism is that they have found another secret path, which is comparable to inner scenes and heavenly medicines, called pathfinding!"

The so-called wayfinding is said to be to find a real path that can be walked on, but ordinary people can't see it.

No need to think too much, if you really want to find the way successfully, the effect is no less than entering the inner scene, or picking the heavenly medicine, but the years are so long, the traces of the past are drowned, and now no one can find it.

Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment. According to his old colleagues, the old art methods are constantly changing. Even if it is the brilliant alchemist's root method, some of them may not be applicable anymore?

"The root method is applicable, and it has never been outdated. The later methods also originated from it. It is the foundation, so it is always gorgeous. But the middle and later chapters of the pre-Qin bamboo slip method can generally be used as a reference, and it is not recommended to go deeper. I suspect that in the pre-Qin period Works great, but maybe some issues were discovered later.”

Later, Lao Chen mentioned the later method of Taoism, saying: "In the early Taoist alchemy, what was collected was foreign objects, and what was refined was outer alchemy. It became more and more perfect, so it was called outer alchemy."

With the rise of Taoism, after gradually flourishing, the method of practice has changed again, and inner alchemy has risen.

"The breath of the dragon and the tiger, exhaling the old and absorbing the new is the inner alchemy." This is the most direct description of the inner alchemy by the ancients. The inner refers to the inside of the body, and the alchemy refers to the product of the combination of human spirit, energy and spirit.

"In a sense, the old way of art has ushered in another revolution. The inner alchemy evolved, and later evolved into the golden alchemy, which can achieve Yuanying and so on." Old Chen sighed with emotion.

Representatives of this period were Zhongliquan, Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan and others.

"Zhong Liquan considered "San Tong Qi", and then combined with Sima Chengzhen's "Zuo Wang Lun" to deduce the inner alchemy method. His research and exercises are recorded in "Ling Bao Bi Fa" and "Zhong Lu Chuan Dao Ji" .”

Old Chen is quite researched, and what he said is so clear that both Wang Xuan and Aoki are fascinated by it.

"It is Lu Dongbin who reshaped the peak and made it shine brilliantly. He left behind "Lu Gong's Golden Alchemy Secret", and developed the inner alchemy to the golden alchemy road."

Wang Xuan was a little confused, and he understood why Lao Chen didn't talk about the realm earlier. The old art path was indeed complicated, with many expansions and changes, and it was difficult to explain the levels of each period.

"At the same time, Taoism, in addition to the golden elixir training, also developed methods such as drawing symbols, which are varied and powerful. The main representatives are naturally the three mountains, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Gezao Mountain."

"A secret path was also discovered in the middle and late stages of Taoism. Unfortunately, the description is very vague and the records are unclear." Old Chen shook his head, quite regretfully.

"Sword cultivator appeared after Jindan Dao?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Yes." Old Chen nodded.

Wang Xuan pondered, based on this calculation, the age of the female sword fairy can be roughly estimated. She is obviously a backward person, not an early old monster.

Old Chen said: "Similarly, I think there are problems with the road ahead, otherwise, it would not have gradually declined and disappeared in modern times."

Then, he mentioned Buddhism again, bit his teeth for a while, and said: "Old Buddhas, most of them abandon their bodies, which makes me feel better!"

He even felt that it was a bit taboo for those who practiced the old technique, and it always made people feel uneasy that they would eventually turn away and burn the so-called stinky skin.

As for the so-called "flesh bodhisattvas" in Buddhism, what is left is only a dead torso for future generations to look up to. They do not possess extraordinary qualities, and there are still some stored in the warehouses of relevant departments.

"What I'm talking about is only the main thread of the old art, and I didn't say that there are hundreds of schools of thought, such as the red-clothed female demon fairy who is suspected to be at the same time as the alchemist. Feather-level alchemist."

After Lao Chen finished speaking, he concluded, saying: "So, the most glorious era of the old art path has not yet arrived, and it is waiting for people like you and me to rise up!"

Seeing his serious appearance, Aoki felt that his master would be beaten severely in the future, if those ancient people were still alive, who would be punished if he wasn't punished?

However, before he could finish his slander, he saw Wang Jiaozu solemnly nodding, and said there: "It makes sense, there was an old covenant in ancient times, and I will make a new covenant in the future."

boom!

A thunderbolt exploded in the sky, startling Lao Chen, and quickly changed his words: "Old Wang, do you know how to respect the former sages?"

Wang Xuan glanced out the window, dark clouds covered the stars and the moon, it turned cloudy, and it started to rain heavily, he didn't believe in those ghosts and gods.

Old Chen found out that it was just a change in the sky, so he calmly shut up.

Wang Xuan asked: "Okay, old Chen, tell me about the level of realm you summed up, how to divide it that is suitable for ancient and modern times?"

"The first level is mist, and the second level is burning lamps..." Lao Chen told him that the roads corresponding to these levels are universal. From the pre-Qin period to the present, all parties are walking, and there should be no problems with them. Hidden danger.

Chapter 83

The last chapter should be Xu Fu, but there was a typo and it was revised at that time.

Just ask if you don't understand, Wang Xuan showed suspicion and interrupted Lao Chen temporarily.

"Old Chen, you are wrong. Could it be because you learned Bodhisattva Boxing from a ghost monk, you want to switch to Buddhism, why do you have the title of an ancient Buddha in your realm?"

Old Chen shook his head and said: "The water in Buddhism is too deep, and I'm really afraid to abandon my body at every turn. It's okay to learn their bodhisattva boxing. If you ask me to transfer to their fundamental method, I dare not, I'm afraid In the future, I can't help but burn myself into a relic."

Aoki was dumbfounded, feeling that his master was still very cautious.

After Lao Chen explained, he took a look at Wang Xuan and said, "When you mention burning lamps, you actually have such an association. You can't do this, read more books related to the old art way, and enrich your background."

Wang Xuan wants to beat up his old colleague, is he despising him in a serious way?

Old Chen Yu was earnest, and advised him to read Daozang more, and to read books in the field of old arts, which would be good for him.

Wang Xuan endured it, there was no other way, he couldn't beat Lao Chen now, not only had to be silent, but also had to listen humbly to what he said was applicable to the division of realms between ancient and modern times.

Lao Chen explained: "Lighting a lamp is a heart lamp. The spiritual light illuminates the night sky of longevity, allowing us to see the dark road ahead and recognize the direction."

Wang Xuan pondered for a while, then said: "From the beginning, what is the situation of the mist? Have I reached this level?"

Old Chen was surprised, and said: "Didn't I say it last time, if you divide it by rank in Go, I just became a professional player, and as for you, you are still polishing it in amateur chess."

At this moment, not only Wang Xuan felt being overlooked, but Aoki also felt being attacked indiscriminately.

"The mist refers to a person who has just become a real practitioner. Looking inside himself, he can see part of the situation in the body, as if shrouded in a hazy mist." Lao Chen explained.

He found that the eyes of the two were not friendly, and said: "Do you want me to classify as 'amateur chess players'? Let me just say a few words, below the master, master, grand master, and if you break through, you are a 'professional chess player'. That is to say, the real practitioners in the field of old arts."

At this moment, even Aoki wanted to beat his master!Those words were not very hurtful, but extremely insulting.

The Grandmaster actually became a transitional unit, and those who did not reach the unity were called under the Grandmaster. If this spread to the outside world, everyone would probably want to beat Lao Chen to death!

"Okay, you can continue to talk down!" Wang Xuan didn't want to listen to his advice, and he had to work hard to improve himself in the future, so that he could beat Lao Chen severely in the future.

Old Chen nodded and said, "I'm in the foggy stage right now. When I look at myself for the first time, my body is dark and I can't see the surrounding scenery."

Wang Xuan said with emotion that Lao Chen has really stepped into the mysterious field of old arts. This is a qualitative change, and he has begun to come into contact with the terrifying and powerful extraordinary!

"Remember, the fog is not a false finger, but what I really saw. These are all from experience. If you suddenly step into this level, don't be afraid, don't hesitate, you can see a little light in the fog, and directly Just follow it and go on.”

The so-called little light refers to the spiritual realm.

Old Chen smiled and said: "In the past, I triggered the tactile state many times. Although I regretted not being able to enter the inner scene, my spirit has undergone a qualitative change and finally formed a spiritual field. For me, I need to consolidate and accumulate for a while. Time, you can directly light the lamp!"
