After about half a stick of incense time, I have reached a high place, but I can see the sea of clouds in front of me as picturesque, and a huge peak towering in the distance.
'Li Xuan' couldn't help being shaken, turned his head and looked down the mountain, only to see a dark rippling, no one could be seen; even the corners of the Taoist temple were hidden in the smoke.
A round of red sun above the head, shining on the clouds and mist, reflected the brilliant rays of the sun, which was really beautiful.
'Li Xuan' was fascinated by the sight, only felt the rush of the wind in his ears, and the clouds and mist covered his eyes, not long after, his feet trembled slightly, and he heard Wuchen say in his ears: "This is it."
When he came back to his senses, 'Li Xuan' realized that he was standing on a platform in the middle of the mountain, with clouds and mists surrounding him behind him, and a cliff could be seen indistinctly. In front of him was a stone wall covered with vines. It is composed of two stone gates about ten feet high. Through the stone gates, one can feel a majestic and eternal atmosphere.
Waiting for 'Li Xuan' to stand still, Wuchen walked slowly to the stone gate, bowed down respectfully, then stretched out his hands, roared softly, saw a faint white light glowing on his hands, and said, " Open"... Amidst the dull "quack" sound, two stone doors weighing more than ten thousand catties slowly opened under his push.
Because of the previous experience, 'Li Xuan' was not surprised, but just stared at the gradually expanding hole, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
As soon as the stone door was opened, there was a ray of purple light coming out from inside, and halfway through the opening, the mist permeating inside could be faintly seen.
Under Wuchen's gesture, 'Li Xuan' calmed down a little, and entered the cave with a cane.
This is a small cave, the inside of which is filled with purple mist and its source is unknown, and the surroundings are square, two feet long, about two feet wide and about ten feet high, and the facilities are simple, it should be said that there are no facilities, because the whole cave is only near the back wall. There is a stone case, on which there is a purple brocade box in the center, and beside it is a purple air mass the size of a palm, which is slowly rotating, confused and indistinct, and there is nothing else; although So simple, but everywhere is spotless. On the cave wall facing Shimen, there are two poems: "This thing is born naturally, without roots and sources, it is natural. If you can recognize the true beauty and go, you will be immortal." Signed "Bai Muzi question".
After reading the book on the stone wall, 'Li Xuan' murmured inwardly: "The tone is quite loud! Thinking about it, the real person didn't know the mystery of it back then, so he only left a poem to tell future generations after sighing!"
When the two came to the stone case, Wu Chen pointed to the cloud of purple air and smiled and reminded: "Brother Li, this is your chance!"
Looking along Wuchen's pointing, I saw an oval-shaped dark purple air mass, a little away from the stone case, it looked like a chrysanthemum leaf growing on it, inseparable like a dead thing, but fine Tasting carefully, in the slow rotation, there seems to be a little bit of agility, like a dream, and in reality, people can't help but feel a sense of etherealness.
Looking at the air ball in front of him, 'Li Xuan' froze for a moment, he looked left and right, but he couldn't see any connection between the air ball on the stone table and that Taoist book, he hesitated, and looked back at Wu Chen.
Wuchen smiled and said: "Hehe! Brother Li, don't hesitate, just try it, the mystery of Taoism is beyond what you and I can imagine now, the appearance is not necessarily the inner image, and what the eyes see may not be true You have to look at it with your heart and experience it!"
Taking a deep breath, staring at the purple air mass close at hand, "Li Xuan" suddenly felt inexplicable anxiety, he stretched out his hand slowly, but stopped halfway; the purple air mass in front of him was like A mystery waiting for him to unravel, anticipating and worrying at the same time—he really felt like he was afraid of entering the treasure mountain and returning empty-handed.
Seeing 'Li Xuan''s hesitation, Wuchen said from the side: "The heart of heaven is mighty, everyone has their own chance, you can't force it!"
…
'Li Xuan''s hand slowly approached the air mass, and the moment he touched the purple air, the hot air in his chest and abdomen seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly became manic, like a runaway wild horse , moving back and forth in his body, at the same time, a strange feeling came from his fingertips, and before he could react, he saw a dazzling purple light bursting in front of him, making him unable to open his eyes.
Subconsciously covering his eyes with his hands, 'Li Xuan' felt a ray of light in front of him and couldn't see anything clearly. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a buzzing sound in his ears. Suddenly, a cold feeling penetrated from between his brows, Straight to the Niwan Xuan Palace in the depths of Yintang, at the same time, the hot air in his chest also calmed down. In a trance, there seemed to be an invisible force attracting him, and his consciousness also advanced accordingly. The next moment, a huge space suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he saw that the surroundings were gray, like steaming haze, and also like turbulent sea waves.
'Li Xuan' was at a loss, and saw the mist billowing in front of him, and soon formed a scroll in the void. On that scroll, the clouds are billowing and auspicious, and there are three words on it: but for some reason, I can't see it clearly. Indistinctly, each character is more than ten feet in size, with eight horns, and each corner has a faint purple light hanging down, which is indeterminate. After half a day, a few pictures slowly appeared in the void, but they were not clearly visible due to the heavy fog.
Vaguely, the first picture is a grazing boy, holding a scroll, sitting on a big rock and yelling at the old scalper next to him, under the blue sky and white clouds, so leisurely.
The second painting is a grown-up shepherd boy, but when he sees the wedding night in the bridal chamber and the title on the gold list, the shepherd boy is extremely rich in the world, full of ambition, and proud of the spring breeze. empathy.
The style of the third painting changed, and I saw a bleak autumn wind, lone geese flying south, a few barren graves and mounds on the rocky hill, and a few wild dogs looking for food in the tall grass.
Seeing this, the purple air gradually permeated, no matter how hard 'Li Xuan' tried, he couldn't see the scene behind clearly... In a moment, there was a bang, and the screen disappeared, and countless tadpole-sized words floated in the void like slides.
Before 'Li Xuan' could see it clearly, the purple light receded, the characters disappeared, and then returned to a cloud of purple mist floating quietly in front of 'Li Xuan'. The purple mist is still billowing around it, falling flowers are scattered, and the purple light seems to be spiritual, as if it is showing him something, but it is not very clear; 'Li Xuan' quietly stared at the purple air in front of him, and kept thinking about it. The few pictures I saw just now, I was deeply addicted to them, and I was awakened by an anxious voice:
"Where is the Dao scroll? Why is it missing?" Wuchen looked shocked, and walked to the stone case in two steps, looking up, down, left, and right.
"Daozhang! That thing seems, seems to have entered my brain..."
'Li Xuan''s words without beginning or end shocked Wuchen again, he looked up and down 'Li Xuan' with a pair of strange eyes, and said half-assedly: "Weird, weird! An unprecedented thing! This should be What should I do? Hey...whether it is a disaster or a blessing depends on the future fortune of the Taoist!" At this time, Wu Chenzi also changed the name of 'Li Xuan' to a Taoist.
Wu Chen's words stunned 'Li Xuan' for a moment, and then recalled the situation he had just seen in his mind, and suddenly felt a thousand layers of fog in his heart, extremely uncomfortable, and greatly puzzled Feeling uneasy, he immediately found an excuse and said: "Master Taoist, I just came across something just now, I wonder if I can use this to think about it."
"It's okay, it's okay to be able to enter this cave. It's a predestined relationship with it. What's more, when the scroll disappears, the restraining power will probably also dissipate. Daoist friends can meditate here and practice. I will send someone to bring food every other day. If there is something urgent, you just need to blow this thing three times and I will be there." After Wu Chen finished speaking, he took out a half-foot piccolo with clear black essence from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands, there was a little respect in his expression the taste of.
Taking the piccolo, 'Li Xuan' looked at it and put it in his arms and said: "Then there will be a Taoist leader."
Wuchen Jishou said: "Fellow Taoists don't need to be too polite, there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and those who have mastered it will be teachers. In the future, the poor Taoist will hope that fellow Taoists will not forget the entrustment of today when they study and understand the Xuanjing, and they will be transformed!"
'Li Xuan' smiled and said: "How dare you, but what you have gained is all due to the merits of the Taoist priest."
Hearing this, Wuchen happily said, "If you are so poor, I will go first." After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked out, swaying and disappearing outside the cave.
…
Because this cave is located on the cliff in the middle of the mountain, it is hard to find animals, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to visit. From time to time, the mountain wind blows through, bringing up a few fallen leaves, which adds a bit of desolation to this lonely cave in the mountains.
Seeing the disappearing figure of Wuchen, 'Li Xuan' slowly withdrew his eyes, came to the stone table and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, and gradually entered that mysterious world again, what he saw just now was just some fragments, So at this time, he is eager to figure out the mystery, so as to solve the confusion in his heart.
His consciousness came to Niwan Shenshi once again, and the majesty was still billowing in front of his eyes, and the purple light around the air mass faltered, except those wonderful images no longer appeared.
After staring at it for a long time, I felt that the void was rippling, spreading to infinity like water waves. Just when 'Li Xuan' thought that the image would appear, he found out that it was those densely packed tadpole texts. Disappointed, he couldn't help but read it carefully. For a moment, he felt like entering the vast sea of smoke and clouds, grand and far without cliffs, and all the words in it The content involved is mysterious and exquisite, all-encompassing, vast and boundless, and becomes more obscure and difficult to understand as it goes to the back.
Its opening title is "Jin Dan Xuan Yao", which is also known as "Li Xuan" in this chapter, and it is the volume of Shengxian; the middle chapter is called "Three Yuan Heart Mirror". Seeing this, 'Li Xuan' didn't know why. The following chapter was titled "Baolu Tianzhang", which made his head as big as a bucket, like falling fog... After the three chapters, there was another article "General Outline of Taoism", which contained countless mysterious and weird Taoism , Formation, Artifact, Escape... Although it is complex, it is concise and to the point. It is much easier to understand than the three volumes of Xuan Jing. 'Li Xuan' read more and more vigorously, and when he read the wonderful point, he felt eager to try , In this way, my heart gradually calmed down, and the previous loss was completely thrown away.
At the end of the Xuanjing there is a paragraph of text, to the effect that it is the method of opening the brocade box, but it is only a spell when you look closely, and there is also a paragraph about the refining and use of the elixir.
I don't know how long it took, when 'Li Xuan' slowly opened his eyes, he felt a sense of hunger, and was about to play the flute, but saw a bamboo basket at the cave door, which contained food. Looking outside the cave, it was still The sky was bright and the sun was shining, and I was slightly surprised, "Could it be that this meditation has gone for a day!"
After a little bit of food in the bamboo basket, 'Li Xuan' began to sort out the cultivation steps of "Jindan Xuanyao" in his mind, because this was the first step, so he always had to do it whenever he encountered any obscure and difficult things to understand. It takes a lot of effort on it, and it will never stop until it is transparent and white. At this time, he was deeply grateful to Wu Chen, if he hadn't forced himself to read those boring Taoist scriptures all day long, he might have no treasure mountain at this time and could not start. After a lot of research and study, I suddenly felt that there were many references and quotes, and he talked about the path of right and wrong. Every time there was a subtlety, he was all excited. After going all the way, he was fascinated by "Li Xuan", and was addicted to it...
The cultivation system recorded in the "Golden Alchemy Profound Essentials" is roughly in line with what Wu Chen said earlier. It also started from "refining Qi", and went through several stages such as "Hua Qi", "Hua Shen", "Returning to the Void", and "Yuan Zhao". This process is used to achieve the purpose of peeking at the way of heaven, but the exquisiteness and subtlety in it are far beyond the imagination of the dust-free stream, which is recorded as follows:
The most basic and preliminary method in the Qi refining period is the "Zhoutian Movement Method" that can strengthen the body and stimulate the potential of the human body. At the beginning of his work, he put it on refining the heart and cultivating the soul. The soul is spiritual and the soul is moving, and the spirit is used to control the qi. Where the god goes, the qi also goes. , instead of using the mind to grasp the qi, where the spirit comes, the meridians open automatically.
This stage is to start with Ren Du’s two veins, pay attention to holding the essence and guarding the one, refining and nourishing the essence, collecting the innate energy of Hunyuan, clearing the three gates and nine orifices, and then replenishing it in the future, and then opening the gate of the Huangting God, returning to the innate . It is mentioned that the gate of God is also called the gate of life or the gate of navel. This innate gate has been closed since birth. If this gate can be reopened, the body, mind, and world of a person can be recreated, and people can steal the aura of heaven and earth as their own. For use, the exchange of internal and external qi also proceeds from this door; in the future, keep your mind on the center, breathe continuously, and after a long time, the fetal breath will appear, and the vitality will fill itself. This body is already extraordinary, and naturally has some incredible supernatural powers. Cracking the stele, recruiting talismans, rejuvenating the old and rejuvenating, it is only at this point that we can say that we have returned to our true nature, and we have a first glimpse of the golden elixir.

Qi Transformation Period: Also known as Golden Elixir Period; it is used to refine and transform Qi when the divine door has been opened. Notes in it: True Qi exists in human beings, but not completely in the body. Human body is limited but nature is infinite. Since the opening of the gate of God, there is a channel of exchange between human beings and nature, which can become Dan Yuan in the long run. At this time, if you use the Dharma to cross it, it will gather but not disperse, condense and become stronger, the soul will be destroyed, the essence will be concentrated, the mind will be concentrated, the skin will be refreshed, and it will gradually condense and gather at any time at any time, without quality. To form a holy fetus, at this time, the way of alchemy is small.
In the future, it will be refined by returning seven to nine, returning to the original and returning to the original, the alchemy is quenched, and the golden alchemy is completed. Only then can it be said, "My life is up to me, beyond the power of nature to kill, and I don't need to resort to any methods." The device can drive all kinds of energy in the universe, and can emit thunder and lightning with every gesture, and can travel to and from the five elements, summon gods and ghosts, and call wind and rain.
There is a poem that says: If you want the god of the valley to live forever, you must rely on the mysterious female to establish the foundation. The golden room is full of real gold, and a pearl will never leave.
Transformation Stage: After Dan Cheng...
Void return period: after the primordial spirit appears...
Yuanzhao Period: After the primordial spirit is stabilized...
…
In this way, 'Li Xuan' studied Xuanjing every day in the cave, hungry and thirsty. After seven days, he finally explained the opening chapter thoroughly. Things are added, so that the original alchemy scriptures will be changed beyond recognition, but 'Li Xuan' doesn't take it seriously, in his opinion, what is useful is valuable, and people cannot stick to what their ancestors left behind for thousands of years. The things that need to be perfected still have to try boldly. For example, he didn't quite agree with the theory of the blending of yin and yang in the alchemy scriptures. Here he added his own understanding of the word "one". One yang, first one and then two or first two and then one, between choices, he respected his own ideas!
Stretching for a while, the brocade box on the stone table came into view, while smiling, a spell was blurted out, just after finishing the chanting, three purple awns appeared on the brocade box, and with a "pop", it opened automatically, and it was opened again. Before 'Li Xuan' could see what was inside clearly, there was an intoxicating fragrance coming out of the nostrils, making people feel clear and comfortable after smelling it. At this time, when I looked carefully, I saw a grape-sized elixir quietly lying in the box, round and shiny, and it seemed that the strange fragrance emanated from this elixir.
Seeing this, 'Li Xuan' didn't hesitate, pinched the elixir gently with two fingers, and put it into the mouth without hesitation. As soon as the elixir was removed, the box would automatically close, turning into a cloud of green smoke and dissipating in the air;' Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, probably because of the age, once the fetish is separated, there is no strength to support it.
When the elixir is entered, the mouth is full of fragrance, and in an instant it turns into a clear spring, which seems to be warm and cool, as mellow as butter, and slides down in an instant, with a fragrance in the mouth and a happy body, which has never been seen before; 'Li Xuan' is complaining that he did not try it out. When I tasted it, I felt the inside of my abdomen was hot like fire, and I started to churn, I was stunned for a moment, I knew it was the effect of the medicine, so I turned my heart to the sky, and guided it according to the Dharma Mingshen recorded in the Dan Jing in the previous scroll.
In the dark, 'Li Xuan' only felt a hot air flow rising from the Huangting of Dantian to meet the hot air staying in the chest and abdomen, and then move unintentionally, passing through the central channel, passing through Yuzhen, Baihui, Yintang, Tanzhong, Then pass through the perineum and Jiaji from the dantian, all the meridians are fully opened for a while, the skin, flesh and internal organs are like nectar, gradually, a little real yang in his body grows stronger, like thunder and electric shock, but his spiritual consciousness is fading away Silence, complete samadhi, lingering, suddenly there was thunder in his head, and after a bang, in the void, a beam of light went straight into the top door, shining down on Huang Ting, and instantly, he felt the whole body was bright, his heart was empty, and his vitality was self-generated; The essence of life condenses and does not dissipate. Under the traction of the Qi machine, the vitality moves inwardly, and a warm current slowly hovers in the Huangting Shenshi...
