Faced with this irrespective situation, Wu Yugang was very interested in the Taoist who could not sleep. Because it is said that Patriarch Chen Tuan can sleep for eight hundred years, which is really rare. Even gods find it difficult to sleep for eight hundred years. This is also a real sleeping fairy. And this sleeping fairy's skill is extremely rare. However, it is said that Chen Tuan once defeated Song Taizu in chess, so Zhao Kuangyin gave Huashan to Chen Tuan. From then on, Huashan stopped paying grain and taxes to the dynasty. And what Chen Tuan won was not glorious. He angered Zhao Kuangyin at the critical moment. Song Taizu lost to Chen Tuan because of his anger.
Today, Wu Yugang was also trying to use this method to anger the sleeping fairy, so that he could identify whether this was really Chen Tuan and get some enlightenment.
Wu Yugang said: "People call the Taoist Taoist. Although this is related to the fact that I led the green ox out of Hangu Pass and became an immortal. But these are not unrelated to you, the master of Taoism. Such ugly language. Isn’t it wrong for the Taoists in the world to be ridiculed, but it shouldn’t be!”
Chen Tuan was quite surprised when he heard Wu Yugang's words. After all, this fellow elder doesn't speak short words, and such abusive language actually comes from a Taoist disciple, and he actually questions a Taoist master. Such a disciple cannot be said to be a rebellious disciple. On the contrary, he is quite protective of Taoism. In this way, this apprentice can be taught. Although his cultivation level is not low, he has not escaped from the Heavenly Tribulation Technique. This mortal language should also be made known to him. After all, the Taoist inner elixir technique was popularized by himself. How could we not confer the mystery within it to this immortal
Taoist practice lies in being quiet and inactive, and not being impatient or impatient when things happen. This Chen Tuan's cultivation level is extraordinary and comparable. Although Chen Tuan and Lu Dongbin were good friends who talked about everything, Wu Yugang should indeed call Chen Tuan his master. However, the master did not appear angry because of Wu Yugang's rudeness. On the contrary, he became more kind. Because although Taoism has many rules, there are not so many etiquettes.
Chen Tuan said: "That's a good question! Can you tell me who the apprentice of the immortal apprentice is? So I can explain the whole story to you!"
Wu Yugang didn't expect that Patriarch Chen Tuan would ask him such a question, but he thought to himself: This master is said to be highly virtuous and respected, so if he revealed his master, there would probably be no trouble. Besides, in this barren mountain and ridge, I didn’t do anything excessive. After all, this Chen Tuan has been transformed into an immortal for many years. Who would believe that he would meet him here! These are all due to my own helplessness and not my fault.
Wu Yugang thought about it and said to Chen Tuan: "I studied in Taijimen, and later I was taught by an immortal master, and I learned from Lu Zu!"
Chen Tuan nodded and said: "That's it. This big green bull has its nose pierced, and even a child can control it. And the way of cultivation lies in absorbing the method of guidance. The breath of human beings is natural, and it is also related to nature. The long-term true energy in nature is connected, just like a baby in the mother's body, it can grow after being nourished by the breath.
When the fetus comes out of the mother's body and the umbilical cord is separated, the breath gathers between the nose and the nose. Human cultivation is the method of turning this nose breath into fetal breath. The nose is a pillar, absorbing the chaotic energy between heaven and earth and gathering it into one's body. And this breath is the essence of the breath between heaven and earth. The spiritual light flashes and the white light is captured in the body. The body is a furnace, the palace is a stove, the kidneys are water, the heart is fire, and the liver is wood. The wood in the stove creates the heart fire to refine the kidney water. By cultivating the mind and nourishing the kidneys, you can form the golden elixir of longevity.
Although the body pays attention to the breath, the breath has already become like a fetus, as if it is there or not, that is, it is in a state of inaction. And the breath in the body is flowing, and the body is protected by dragons and tigers. Hear but not hear, turn a blind eye. He fell into a deep sleep as if dormant, but his spiritual consciousness reached beyond the sky, swimming in the blue sky, and traveling in the Purple Mansion of Kunlun. Absorb the essence of the sun and moon in the blessed land of cave heaven. Stepping on the breeze, you are surrounded by floating clouds. Howling loudly to soothe the spirit, there is no way to be immortal if you are so carefree.
And this is said to be a bull's nose, but it is true. Taoist cultivation is inseparable from this breath. In the breath, one can control people's unstoppable desires like a green bull. If desires do not arise, they will not be disturbed by the world of mortals. This is the original intention of Taoism, you understand! "
Wu Yugang listened with rapt attention to the narration of Patriarch Chen Tuan. The Patriarch told about the method of inescaping the sleeping immortal, but this method of dormancy is the magic of immortality. You can live for months and months without eating or drinking. If it weren't for the magic of immortality, how could it have such an effect? It is said that Chen Tuan slept for eight hundred years, so there is no truth to the rumor.
Wu Yugang nodded in agreement and said respectfully: "The skills of the immortal master are indeed extraordinary, and I have benefited a lot from them. Without the guidance of the immortal master, I must still be stuck in that dream-like illusion, but today I understand it." There are many. The Immortal Master’s sleeping skills are truly worthy of his name, and he is worthy of being called the Sleeping Immortal.”
Yang Wushuang was thinking secretly on the side. He didn't expect that there would be gods hidden deep in the mountains. Although he had attained enlightenment and became an immortal, he still did not meet such a weird person as Xiang Chen Tuan. But how many unknown mysteries are there in these rolling mountains? Today, I met the ancestor of Tai Chi so wonderfully here. This is a rare encounter in a hundred years. I also received the guidance of this ancestor, but it was also an adventure among adventures.
Chen Tuan said: "The sleep of immortals is naturally different from the sleep of ordinary people. The sleep of ordinary people is stained by the world of mortals, and they are always fighting for fame and fortune while sleeping. But the sleep of immortals is as free and comfortable as the wandering clouds and wild cranes, and is in the world. There is no reason to be troubled by the world! How can one not live forever if his mind and body are so refreshed
Wu Yugang and Yang Wushuang thought about Chen Tuan's words and secretly rejoiced in their dream-like experience. This is also the greatest blessing that two people encountered when they came out for the first time. Many people will never get beyond it even in a lifetime. This is not empty talk, it is also the arrangement of God's destiny, which cannot be replaced by anyone.
The two of them were congratulating themselves on what had happened, when they suddenly heard Chen Tuan say: "Such a quiet place is being disturbed by people. You should just be busy with your own business! I'll go too." After saying that, Chen Tuan got up and walked towards the mountain, saying He also read: Before the two rituals are judged, there will be no limitless life, and before the Hongmeng is opened, all the energy will be exhausted. The awareness of the sun and moon has not yet begun, and the mountains and rivers have not yet laid down their vitality. Life and death are constantly changing, and a speck of dust comes into being by movement.
Wu Yugang and Yang Wushuang looked at the ancestor Chen Tuan who was gradually going away, and they didn't know what they felt in their hearts. I wanted to talk to this ancestor for a few more words, but the ancestor has a weird personality and is not that easy to deal with. Without this fate, even if you seek help from this ancestor, there will be no results. Fortunately, this ancestor has always used poetry to explain the mystery and truth of the matter. Many of the ancestors’ immortal Taoisms exist in the immortal ancestors’ poems. But what Li said did not mean leaving Tai Chi practice at all. (To be continued)
