Chapter 9 The secret alchemy method taught by ghosts and immortals
Regarding Chu Tai’s summary, Fuguang Taoist thought for a moment before nodding: "It can be understood in this way, but the specific division is not that simple. At the same time, this is also what you have practiced before The "Bright Moon Observation Method" can achieve the ultimate level. Even if your current state is not adjusted and the soul becomes stronger and stronger, and finally breaks away from the physical body and becomes independent, the attainment you can achieve is probably this kind of immortality."
Hearing this, Chu Tai frowned even more tightly. He probably understood the theoretical basis for becoming an immortal in this world. It seemed that immortality was closer to an identity or an academic certificate.
However, there were some specific judgments about the merits of the immortal family, which he still could not understand, and asked: "Logically speaking, those who can be called ghost immortals should have achieved the glazed Dharma body and entered and exited the heaven. People who have received immortality or have been baptized by the light of the Great Luo, then why are the ghosts of Qingling also called ghost immortals? "
"This is a very good question, but I think it is a ghost? , What is the difference between Qingling ghost and ghost fairy? ”
Taoist Fuguang's rhetorical question made Chu Tai shake his head. He raised his hands and said, "I didn't understand this issue very well when I was studying Taoism. It was only after my teacher explained the confusion that I finally understood the difference. Ghosts in general people refer to lost people. The physical body has lost its seven souls, lost the restraints of the heavenly soul, and lost the human soul recorded by the earthly soul. Therefore, it is not allowed to touch filth, and it is forbidden to kill or kill. Once it is violated, it will easily taint one's own essence and turn into heretical evil. "
“This is also the reason why it is difficult for many Yin souls to achieve enlightenment. Compared with normal people’s cultivation, they need to re-condensate the heavenly soul and the earth soul and sort out the relationship between their three talents. Therefore, many Yin souls cultivate the Yin Shen Dharmakaya and become ghosts and immortals. After the results of their achievements, they will turn to earth immortals, borrow a piece of earth energy to regroup their earth souls, and then turn to heavenly immortals in order to seek the Tao. However, such a turnaround is many times more troublesome than the human body. This is the most difficult thing for human beings in many Taoist scriptures. Ask for one of the sources of this statement. "
At this point, Taoist Fuguang seemed to have thought of something and was a little depressed, but he quickly regained his energy and continued to explain the difference to Chu Tai.
In comparison, Qingling ghosts and ghost immortals are much better. Although the former can forcibly bind the Yin gods, those who have achieved this must have entered the path of immortality and cultivated magical powers. Even if they lose After losing the physical body, it only lacks the constraints of the heavenly soul, but most of the records of the earthly soul are still there, and there is magic power to rely on, so it is much more convenient to practice than the ghost soul. "
"Of course, compared to ordinary people, both Qingling ghosts and ghost immortals lack the help of heavenly souls, lack the three talents, and are more susceptible to heavenly calamity and rejection than ordinary practitioners. This is why There is a way of practice that involves using others to cast spells, doing good deeds to accumulate virtue, absorbing the wonderful energy of people, and refining the yin spirit to achieve the glazed Dharmakaya. ”
"It's just that the glazed Dharmakaya purified by this method, before it is awarded the purple-green document of Tianfu and is named Immortal Ru, has no essential change from the ordinary pure spirit ghost. At most, it can only be said to be slightly higher by half a level. The rest is just quantitative. It is normal to put them together with the ghosts and immortals in the lowest level of merit. In the end, although the merits of the ghosts and immortals are small, it is difficult to rise to the great level."
"Finally. , and my personal guess is that at that time, the seniors regarded these achievements as the end of ghosts and immortals, and they may also have the idea of telling them that even if they die, they will be safe for ordinary people who study Taoism, or for those who are new to immortality. It is possible to attain the Tao, so as to prevent some people who have entered the Tao but lost their physical body from completely falling into the devil's way in order to continue practicing."
After saying that, Taoist Fu Guang returned to Chu Tai. Explained the other effects of ghost karma.
“Different from the lower meritorious fruits of ghosts and immortals, most of the meritorious fruits among ghosts and immortals are obtained by dismembering corpses. What they seek is transcendence in the yin. Most of them are pure yang that have not yet been completed, and the gods are unknown, but they have already given birth to true beings. Qi, even if you lose your physical body, you don't need to borrow magic from others. You can rely on tools to travel between the human world and achieve the goal of ghosts with no surnames, nameless mountains, no reincarnation, and freedom in the human world. I told you before about the secret method of dividing the mind and splitting the soul and returning it to the sun. It is derived from the evolution of these merits. "
"The superior ghosts and immortals are mostly people who have achieved great success in cultivation, but accidentally lost their bodies. After death, they still work hard, or use Taiyin to refine their bodies, or Use the sun to refine the spirit, purify the vitality, and return to nature, so that the yin and gods can become yang, and the primordial spirit can form a baby. You can ask for the Zifu Zhenlu to fly to the heaven, and you can return to the human realm and seek immortality again, even if there is no such result. The physical body is no different from ordinary people. If there is a chance, it can even conceive a god in the god and continue the immortal career."
"Finally, I don't know much about the best of ghosts and immortals. I can only answer it based on the classics left by my predecessors. Such achievements are not available to ordinary people, or they can seek Taoism in the underworld and become the leader of the underworld or the emperor of the underworld. In this position, he may go down to the Yellow Spring, transcend the Yin and become a saint, and save all living beings in the underworld, or he may seek life in the midst of death, seek existence from nothingness, and seek truth from emptiness.”
“This is the most important thing. It sounds superior, so why are there different promotion directions for the lower, middle and upper three levels of ghosts and immortals?" Regarding Chu Tai's question, Taoist Fu Guang rarely gave an answer, but handed the question back to Chu Tai: "This, maybe. It’s up to you to find the answer yourself in the future.”
After that, Taoist Fuguang continued to explain the "Zhicao Jing" to Chu Tai, and also asked Chu Tai to make a trial production. A serving of Huoluo Pills.
This medicine is widely spread in the world and has many types. It is recorded in the Zhicao Jing that after ginseng, cinnamon twigs, magnets and other medicinal materials are used.
After being made into a pill, the medicine has mild properties, a bitter taste and a sweet taste. Taking it can cool down and dispel heat, dredge the meridians, and relieve problems such as poor qi and blood. It is a basic elixir used to treat problems with qi movement.
During the process of making medicine, Taoist Fuguang also explained to Chu Tai in detail the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, specific processing methods, as well as some secret medicines and concepts for refining elixirs.
“People who practice in the world collect elixirs to make elixirs. Most of the time, due to the mixed properties of the medicines, they choose to intercept the main properties of the medicine during refining, and then use other medicinal materials as auxiliary materials to refine them into elixirs with unsuitable properties. , all of them were dismissed as impurities and discarded. "
"But my Taiyi Jinhua Sect is different. After the former ancestor attained Taoism, he traveled around the world and was fortunate enough to hear the principles of superior alchemy made by Lord Hunyuan. Comprehend a small method of alchemy in the furnace of heaven and earth, emphasizing that the furnace of alchemy is the universe, the properties of medicine are all living beings, the heaven and the earth nourish all things, they are mixed but not useless, and those that are not beneficial to people and those that are beneficial are each given half, each in its own place."
“So when you make this Huoluo pill, you need to add these steps to separate the complex medicinal properties. These types can be used to make fertilizer later to nourish the land, and these types can be used as another kind of pills. Auxiliary materials. Of course, these methods are just the simplest separation. When you reach a higher level, you can even turn the medicinal properties that you cannot use into new elixirs and give back to the world."
As he spoke, dozens of magic taboos appeared in front of Taoist Fuguang, forming a small alchemy furnace and handing it to Chu Tai. What was recorded in it was Xiaoyou Qiankun's furnace for refining elixirs.
For this knowledge, Chu Tai, blessed by the name of [Boy], learned very quickly. Before the evening class, he had mastered the basics of this alchemy method, especially his grasp of the medicinal properties and inspiration. This made Taoist Fuguang very happy.
After evening classes, Chu Tai walked out of his room and found a secluded place to practice the "Taiyi Moon Picking Method", transferring some of the extreme magic power in his body in the direction of Zhongzheng and peace, but when his mind was empty At that moment, a burst of urgent chanting sound suddenly came to my ears.
Accompanying the chanting are the sounds of wooden fish and copper chimes, which alternate with each other, and the clear and crisp sounds echo inside and outside Taiyi Temple.
Chu Tai felt that the more he listened, the more something was wrong. There was obviously a vast and pure power hidden in the sound of chanting, but under the combination of the wooden fish and bronze chimes, the slightly rapid rhythm of the chanting appeared a little uncoordinated. It feels like the power flowing inside and outside the Taoist temple seems to be consuming something.
Unfortunately, Chu Tai's cultivation was insufficient and his spiritual sense was not strong enough. Even with the blessing of external forces, he could only sense that something was wrong but could not find the reason. He carefully explored the source of the chanting sound and found that it was the place where Taoist Fu Guang practiced cultivation. He could only stop exploring and go back to his room to rest.
