Chapter 43: Yin Yang Spiritual Method (asking for monthly ticket) January passed quickly. There were not many changes in life during this month. He still got up early to recite scriptures, chopped wood and fetched water. In his spare time, he went to the alchemy room of his second senior brother to watch him make elixirs and listen to him talk about the way of alchemy. Xianyuan Temple held three lectures on Taoism, and Lin Jue naturally went there. In addition, Xianyuan Temple held a class every other day to teach young Taoists to recognize words. Lin Jue went there for two days and found that they were only teaching very basic reading, so he did not go there, leaving only the younger junior sister to go there alone. In the second month after arriving at the temple, Lin Jue and his companion began to practice Yin-Yang spiritual techniques. Taoist Yunhe taught them together with the eldest senior brother. "If you can sense the yin and yang energies, you can draw them into your body. In a day, yin and yang are difficult to evenly divide, so you need to use the weak energy to draw the strong energy. Near noon, the yang energy is strong and the yin energy is weak, so you can use the yin energy to draw the yang energy. Near midnight, the yin energy is strong and the yang energy is weak, so you can use the yang energy to draw the yin energy. Remember, draw as much strong energy as weak energy, and you need to keep it balanced. "During the day, when the difference between Yin and Yang is the greatest, the spiritual energy absorbed is the least, and when the difference is the smallest, the spiritual energy absorbed is the most. "Your cultivation is still at a low level, so don't be greedy. You need to practice at midnight and noon. "Remember! Yin and Yang are equally divided! "If you are greedy, haha, when I was young, I was greedy for speed, and the yin and yang were out of balance. I have not changed it, and now not only has my lifespan been shortened, but my whole body is uncomfortable."
These sounds continued to come into Lin Jue's ears. Lin Jue, however, sat cross-legged in the Moving Mountain Hall, closing his eyes and meditating carefully. His mind was as calm as water. For a moment, his mind was filled with only Taoist Yunhe's words and the complex spiritual rhymes of the sky. Mixed spiritual rhythm, only take yin and yang. It was noon, and the Yang energy was extremely strong, like a raging fire, covering the entire world. The forest outside the room was illuminated brightly, and only the cicadas dared to make a sound. In contrast, the Yin energy was extremely weak, and it was almost impossible to feel it in this raging light without careful observation. After finally feeling it, he used this trace of Yin energy to pry open an equal amount of Yang energy and bring it into his body. If you take a trace of Yin Qi alone and then take a trace of Yang Qi, it would be difficult. If you take a trace of Yin Qi and then immediately pry the same trace of Yang Qi into the body at the same time, it would be very natural. Maybe it’s because yin and yang are meant to go together. This method is clever. Smart and safe, not easy to lose balance. The junior sister was sitting next to him, but her brows were frowned. The little fox didn't dare to enter the Moving Mountain Hall, and still waited for them at the door. It had grown a little taller this month, but it still habitually huddled behind the threshold. Listening to the sounds inside, its dark round eyes often showed a thoughtful look, and from time to time it tilted its head, scratched itself, yawned, lay down to sleep, or stared at a passing cat, and sometimes got slapped. I do not know how long it has been. "All right." "call……" Lin Jue opened his eyes. There is thought and understanding in his eyes. The junior sister also opened her eyes, but her eyes were blank. "Brother, have you attracted the spiritual charm?" "It's been taken."
"Ah?" The little sister was a little dazed and a little panicked when she heard this. "Why did it take me so long to feel the yin and yang spirit charm, but I couldn't draw it into my body?" "Lin Jue has practiced the Qi-nourishing Method, so he already has a solid foundation. Moreover, when practicing the Qi-nourishing Method, there is already the Yin-Yang spiritual rhythm. It is naturally easy to succeed." The eldest senior brother said gently, "You can feel the existence of the Yin-Yang Qi and the spiritual rhythm the first time, which is extremely rare. Don't be discouraged. Master accepted you into the Taoist temple, so you must have excellent talent. You have also read the Yin-Yang Sutra for a month, so you must have gained something. I think you will be able to successfully draw the spiritual rhythm in a few days." "Oh……" "Don't compare yourself! Comparisons will lead to discouragement! Discouragement will lead to greed! Greed will easily lead to trouble!" Taoist Yunhe said in a rare serious tone, "Do you still remember the fellow wolf you met on the road?" "That wolf demon? Remember?" "Do you remember that his brother was smarter than him, but he was the one who finally became a spirit, while his brother was unable to do so." The old Taoist said, "The way of cultivation also depends on fate. It is good to have some utilitarianism in your heart, and you can use it in practicing magic. When it comes to cultivation, it is better to let nature take its course." "understood." The junior sister nodded seriously. Lin Jue couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person could have both utilitarianism and a willingness to go with the flow, and be able to perfectly allocate them to two different things? "Master, I heard that practicing Yin-Yang magic can prolong one's life?" Lin Jue withdrew his thoughtful gaze and asked. "Any spiritual method can prolong life. If you get sick less often, take care of your body, and die a natural death, you will naturally live longer." Taoist Yunhe said, "If you really want to prolong your life and exceed the original maximum lifespan, you must practice the Yin-Yang spiritual method to a high level and not lose balance." "Is the master considered profound?" "My master is young and frivolous, and the yin and yang are out of balance. How can I be considered profound?" Taoist Yunhe shook his head modestly. "How many years can the life extension be extended?" "I don't even know." "Maybe immortality?" "Practice is practice, and longevity requires a longevity method. Throughout history, if you want to achieve longevity just by practicing Taoism, you have to go back to ancient times." "Then what is the way to longevity?" Lin Jue was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, asking seriously. "There are many ways to achieve longevity, some are difficult, some are easy, some are true, some are false, some are real, some are imaginary, it depends on how you distinguish them." Taoist Yunhe looked at his disciple and suddenly sighed, but continued, "For example, if you enter the divine register and rank among the immortals, you can transcend your original lifespan. Although it is difficult to live as long as the heaven and earth, you can live for hundreds or thousands of years as long as the incense is continuous and the nine heavens are not covered, you can live for a long time. Don't you think this is not longevity?" "..." Lin Jue pondered and did not answer, but asked again, "Anything else?" "After death, you become a ghost, but you don't have to go through reincarnation. You can become a great ghost or a ghost immortal. Although you don't have a human body and many emotions, you can still live for a long time until the world changes, or you are eliminated by someone. Is this what you think of as longevity?" "anything else?" "Some demons have various methods, such as stealing people's lifespans to refine into elixirs, using demonic magic to constantly change their bodies, and making do with it, and they can live long. Do you think this counts as immortality?" "Is there no other legitimate and unfettered way to achieve immortality?" "It's difficult to achieve immortality. It's difficult to be free and at ease. It's difficult, difficult, difficult to achieve immortality and be free and at ease." Taoist Yunhe sighed repeatedly. "Isn't there any?" "Yes, there is. That is the immortal path you requested when you went up the mountain." "Please give me some advice, Master."
Lin Jue's expression was startled and he asked sincerely. "Immortality and longevity, people often put these two words together, but if you want, you have to distinguish them clearly." "Disciples are all ears." "There are many gods and immortals in the world, but what are gods and immortals? The soldiers guarding the gates of heaven, the guardian immortals assigned to the talisman sect, the immortals' attendants, the dancing fairies, these are all immortals, the immortals that others want to become! However, if you want to live forever and be free and at ease, you can only be the legendary ancient immortals." "Ancient True Immortal?" "In ancient times, there were many cultivators in the world, and there were many ways to become immortals. Some became immortals through hard work, some were deified through virtue, and some ascended to heaven through alchemy. Only those who could reach heaven and earth could be called true immortals." Taoist Yunhe said, "Later, these true immortals all went to the nine heavens, built fairylands, and transformed into various celestial masters and ancient gods. If you can become an ancient true immortal and be on par with them, you can naturally live forever and be free and at ease. But since ancient times, it has been difficult for anyone to cultivate great power and become a true immortal in the world." Lin Jue remembered it silently. Taoist Yunhe sighed when he saw this, waved his hand, stood up, and walked outside: "Today's practice ends here. Yin-Yang Spiritual Method is not just about taking Yin and Yang, and Five Elements Spiritual Method is not just about cultivating the Five Elements. Now that you have learned Yin-Yang Spiritual Method, you can go to the mountains to practice every day, comprehend the world, and learn more about spiritual charm. You can savor it here for a while, but remember, don't rush, and don't let Yin and Yang lose balance." "understood." Lin Jue sat for a while, savoring the feeling just now, then stood up and walked out. The little fox recognized him. When Taoist Yunhe and the eldest senior brother came out, it didn't move. It just looked up to see who they were. When it saw Lin Jue coming out, it whined and followed them in small steps. “Are you listening too? "How much do you understand? "..." Lin Jue talked to it casually as he walked. Go back to the house and open the ancient book. There is already an extra page titled "Taking Medicine". The so-called "taking medicine" is actually a method created by Taoist practitioners of alchemy to assist in taking elixirs. What the book says is similar to what the second brother said. Some elixirs are fierce, some are difficult to digest, and some are even poisonous. They must be supplemented with a method of taking them to make the elixirs fully effective and not poisoned. Many mortals cannot practice and do not understand this way. They swallow elixirs at will. If they are lucky, it's fine. If they are unlucky, they will easily be poisoned and die. In particular, most elixirs are related to things such as lead, mercury, gold, silver, cinnabar and stone powder. To elaborate, there are only two key points: "harmony" and "digestion". The so-called practice of "taking poison" will not be afraid of poison, but it is just an additional effect brought about by the method of "digestion". To blend, you need to rely on the internal spiritual energy and blend the medicinal properties. To eliminate, you need to rely on the internal spiritual energy and swallow poison for a long time. It is precisely because Lin Jue has practiced the method of nourishing qi and there is a "medical skill" in the temple that the second brother said that he could practice taking medicine in advance, so that he would not be easily poisoned to death. Even if he was poisoned, the fifth brother would cure him. It’s quite painful to say the least. As for this method, the book explains it in more detail. There is one more page in the book: The original Yin-Yang method, the small Yin-Yang method. The great way of Yin and Yang is extremely mysterious and wonderful. Those who practice Taoism always struggle with the difficulty of striking a balance, so there is a distinction between the small Yin and Yang method and the large Yin and Yang method. The ancient sage wrote the Yin-Yang Classic, which talks about the principles of yin and yang energy and balance. Later generations studied and annotated it, and gradually got the essence of the Yin-Yang magic. However, it is difficult to evenly divide the yin and yang energy in a day, so these Yin-Yang magic methods all take the evenly divided energy without exception, either by using the slightest to induce the strong, or by carefully taking it in the morning and evening. In short, each method has its own way, and they all focus on the word "balance". Later, a great man explored painstakingly and gradually mastered the great Yin-Yang method. The Great Yin and Yang Method draws together the Yin and Yang Qi. The Yin and Yang Qi taken within a day only needs to be equally divided. There is no need to divide it equally all the time, so it is called the Great Yin and Yang Method.
The former is slow while the latter is fast; the former is steady while the latter is urgent. This method originated from "The Original Meaning of Yin and Yang" annotated by a Taoist named Xiang, so it is often called the original method of Yin and Yang, also called Xiang's Yin and Yang. It is not a quick practice, but should be cautious and safe, and it belongs to the category of small Yin and Yang methods. Lin Jue looked at it and was stunned. This reminded him of the fire-repelling techniques in the market, which were divided into three levels: high, medium and low. He didn't expect that the Yin-Yang magic also had a similar distinction? One of them had to balance every time he drew a trace of spiritual energy into his body, so the amount of spiritual energy he drew was not based on the strength of the energy, but on the weakness of the energy, so the efficiency of cultivation was not very high. The other one actually didn't care about these things at all, and only drew the yin and yang energy together each time. This was extremely dangerous and taboo in the yin and yang spiritual method of Fuqiu Temple, in the cultivation method that Lin Jue had just learned, and in "The Original Meaning of Yin and Yang". Lin Jue didn't know what the principle was, nor did he know how this powerful man avoided the danger. He didn't know how mysterious it was. Unfortunately, it was not recorded here. After thinking for a moment, he held the page of the book. Even though it is just a minor Yin-Yang method, the book still explains it in great detail. For a moment, it feels like listening to a great truth and one is intoxicated. One night passed by unknowingly. (End of this chapter)
