Chapter 43 The True Book 1
At this time, there was a ethereal sound in Qiao Xiaoxuan's ear, which seemed to come from the depths of the void, extremely large and small, extremely far and extremely close:
Dugu Taoist priest, the eighth generation leader of the Yuanshi Tianzun's direct transmission of the virtual school. At the age of 16, he met Dugumei, the seventh-generation head of the Refining School, and followed him into the Tao. Twenty years ago, Dugumei gave birth to an old fairy and became a long feather, at the age of 99,000. Ten years ago, in Lingyunshan Ancestor Hall, Dugu Taoist priest told the story for the people who came to visit. At that time, I was predestined to be present and recorded the content of the statement. After sorting out, this article was formed. With the consent, he made it public and left it with the predestined person.
To open the history of Taoism, we might as well go back to the Yin and Shang period. At that time, there was a worship of the sun, moon and stars. At the same time, there is also the theory of warlock. In particular, the saying that "Yuanshi Tianzun" on Jusendai has been passed down to the world through the record of Guang Chengzi, Huang Shigong's collation and the recopy of the unique fox. ( See Dugumei's long-hand book "Record of Immortals")
There are many theories about the formation of "immortals" not only among the people, but also in the Taoist world. This article only explores the source of "immortals" in the cultivation method of the virtual school.
The "Refining Virtual School" was formed in the Yin Dynasty. At that time, it was not called the "Refining Virtual School", but an independent portal with "qi" as the object of cultivation. According to the record of Dugumei's immortals in the Record of Immortals, after the second generation of disciple Guangchengzi Daocheng under Yuxumen, he went to Northern Kunlun to worship Yin Xuanweng as his teacher. Guang Chengzi just knelt down and suddenly felt that the aura on the god's head was shining and auspicious. Guang Chengzi was shocked and said, "Why does my teacher protect each other with the red sun?" The god smiled and said, "No! This is the string of dragons and tigers." Guang Chengzi was shocked and said, "The essence of the sun and the moon is formed, and the yin and yang aura protects each other, which is actually the 'Heavenly Lord'! The honor of heaven is my teacher!" Suddenly, he realized and said, "Tianzun! Tianzun! The Lord of heaven and earth!"
Later, the monks were shocked to learn about this. Therefore, the immortals went to North Kunlun to worship Yin Xuanweng as the "Yuanshi Tianzun". In this way, there will be the later "Immortal Pilgrimage" and "Yu Xu Song", which is the origin of "Immortal Pilgrimage" and "Yu Xu Song". However, the "Refining Virtual School" is exercised by the "Yu Xu Order" and does not sing false songs.
However, in the inheritance of the virtual school, from the third generation to the seventh generation have been passed down from generation to generation. ( See Dugumei's long-hand book "Record of Immortals")
Unfortunately, the eighth generation of the "Refining Virtual School" who got the true biography of Wang Dugumei's immortals. For some reason, he gave all the books handed down by the immortals to Zhu Rongshi 20 years ago.
From Guang Chengzi to the fifth generation, it is not called "Refining Virtual School", but calling itself "Refining the Virtual School". Until the sixth generation of Tuoba Dacheng met the old immortals, after the beginning of Taoism, he established the "Yuxu Palace" in Kunlun Mountain, and received 24 disciples to establish the "Refining Virtual School". And cultivate the "refining virtual spectrum": "Da Dao Tong Tianyu, San Youzi Xi Heng, Gong Ji Beidou, dragon and tiger moving double stars..."
At that time, the "Refining Void School" was also a sect that was both internal and externally cultivated, but it was established less than six years. It was just when Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty was killed, and the Qing soldiers entered the customs. The immortals and Changyi did not hesitate to resolutely lead the door to enter the customs, go to the south of the Yangtze River, defend Yangzhou, protect Jiading, make trouble in the capital, and stabbed the palace several times. However, contrary to his wishes, the "Yuxu Palace" was burned by the Qing soldiers, and the disciples were killed several times. Although there were two or three people, they did not know where they were going.
The old immortals hated that he had not been successful and could not compete with his fate. After thinking about it again and again, he hid in Siming and devoted himself to cultivation. Lao Xianchang personally saw the tragic death of his disciples in the anti-Qing Dynasty, which brought great sadness to his heart (Lao Xianchang only talked about himself in the preface). He also abandoned martial arts in the "secret record" and only passed on the way of "qi" to future generations - "Books meet predestined people". ( Seeing Wang Dugumei's long-hand book "Immortal Yuan" (Record of Immortals) Therefore, the "Refining Virtual School" has just appeared in Taoism and is almost extinct.
The "Refining Virtual School" belongs to the foreign fairy school and advocates the cultivation of "three souls and seven souls". Its pursuit is to replace the "false self" with "true self". The true self, the soul of human beings. "False me" is the body of human beings. That is to say, the "false self" is due to the "connate" restriction. People can't completely transform it. They can only lift the "connate" restriction with "the acquired" (i.e. the true self) to create a second self and achieve the eternity of life. If you know him, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Tuoba Dacheng Lao Xianchang specially reminded under the door in the "Yu Xu Secret Record" that before refining the "three souls and seven souls", all the applied "equipment" must be used for self-defense. Otherwise, the "boulevance" will eventually be difficult.
There is a saying of "Refining the Virtual School": "If you don't refine your soul, you can't make immortals", that is to say, from the "Yuanshi Tianzun" to the seventh generation, you have practiced the "three souls" and become "god" with the "true self". The three souls are "god soul", "form soul" and "qi soul". Seven souls are "happy soul, anger, sadness, fear, thrill, sadness, and thought." Dugumei Shengxian grows up in the Outer Baby True Sutra. The summary mentions that the "three souls" are a separate "spirit body" for people, and the "seven souls" are more scattered. If the "three souls" are integrated, it is objectively difficult to attach the "seven souls" to the human body. Maybe people will think it's nonsense. However, some of the things in the world cannot be discussed in terms of common sense. The virtual school not only opens up a road of "becoming a god" and "becoming an immortal", but also a "shortcut".
It is commonly said that the three souls are: one day soul, two earth souls, and three souls. Seven souls are: one soul is the sky, two souls are spiritual wisdom, three souls are the spirit, the four souls are the strength, the five spirits are the center, the six souls are the essence, and the seven spirits are the spirit. The saying of the three souls and seven spirits of the virtual school is different from the usual saying.
When the "Refining Virtual School" practiced his skills, his left hand stood up and his right hand was held on Dantian. Sitting in the "Fuxi" hexagram, facing three points from the east to the south. Before sitting, he said, "Step on the Qiangua to open the Tianmen, Kungua closed the hell, Xunmu ginshen heaven and the world, the Gengua as the Great Wall, the Kangua surge wave, the palace shelf fire burning, shocking thundering, the thunder splitting the hexagram to unify the soldiers; the left step on the three yuan into Taiji, the right step on the three-yuan heaven and earth people Beidou, the heavenly sword inserted into the ground, the gods retreated, like the law" (see Tuoba Da" (see Tuoba It became the Record of Refining the Secrets). Poor Tao believes that it is difficult to have the "True Sutra of the Baby" without the "Secret Record of Refining the Virtual", and it is also difficult to achieve the "Secret Record of the Practice" without the "True Sutra of the Baby". After reading the formula, the "true language" is used to urge the original to form a slightly triangular shape behind the person, about three feet away, and the "three souls" that are close to each other slowly close to each other; and make the disorganistic "seven souls" attach to people one by one. Finally, make the "three souls" a flawless whole, and then become a "foreign baby." The baby can be big or small. As big as a person and as small as nails. After the "foreign baby" was refined, he was included in the "niwan palace" and slowly concentrated on the spirit of Dantian, and refined into the "true self." The true self is what people call the "yuan god", that is, the second self referred to by the "refinement faction". "True self" comes out of mud pills, goes up to heaven, reaches the underworld, shakes everything, and becomes an immortal-future "immortal". There are poems as evidence: qi moves with thoughts, thoughts help qi, and spirits come out with qi; go up to the sky, reach the underworld, and shake all things in it; God? Xianhu? The way is in it! Dugu Meisheng Xianchang's "General Theory of Immortals") When it comes to this, don't mistakenly think that after the "true self" is refined, the "false self" will "feather." "Fake me" will not only not "feather", but also increase life expectancy. Of course, "fairy" is not a matter of saying. He got it through hard practice and testing. For example, Tuoba Dacheng in the Record of Refining the Secrets. In the Taoism, it is said: "After the cultivation of the true self, he must test his skills. Let the 'true self' enter the 'Palace and Temple', receive incense from all directions, occupy the 'divine platform', and be worshipped by thousands of people. If the 'true self' is not driven out by God, it proves that the Tao is at the beginning. Tuoba Dacheng's words are easy to say, but if you want to do it, it depends on your true Taoism. When the "true self" first came out of the "Niwan Palace", it was like a puppet and had to be commanded by the "fake me". However, after making up for it with Jingyuan through the "Heaven Gate", he is not only like a puppet, but also has more action and courage than "fake me" a hundred times, or even a thousand times. Even thinking and emotions are only slightly lower than "fake me". Speaking of this, according to Dugu Meisheng in the Outer Baby True Sutra. As mentioned in the Abstract, "If you suddenly find that the Yongquan acupuncture point is sore and numb, at this time, the 'true self' has been free from the control of the 'fake self' and let go freely. It must be recovered immediately after being identified by the fontanel gate. The "door" is also called the "top door". It was washed away with internal air before the "three souls" were refined. The fontanel is a sensory acupuncture point that receives external information and is reflected in the brain. That is to say, people who practice must have internal air to open the three acupuncture points such as "Spel Gate", "Life Palace" and "Jade Pillow" as a way to defend themselves, so as not to be fooled and violated by external demons. After identifying the "true self", open the "Tianting Cave" (Baihui Cave) and take it back with "Niwan Palace". However, this refers to the fact that in general, if the "true self" is detained by foreign demons or other evil gods and evil spirits, it will be rescued by fine qi, or the "true self" will be rescued by "spirit" through "spirit". Of course, this has to disperse the "seven souls" and refine them. But you can't disperse the seven souls unless you have to. If you meet the "Five Emperors", it will be even more troublesome. It is necessary to be able to urge the "Jigong Cave" to urge the "Jushi Sword" and think in his mouth: "... If there is a god to fight against it, take off his head and hang up the divine platform..." to save the "true self".
So this is the reason why the virtual school must refine the "equipment" before refining the "three souls".
The "Refining Void School" does not use the "Jade Void Order" when it is life-or-or-death. "Yu Xu Ling" is the flag of Yuanshi Tianzun, "Seeing the order is like seeing Yuanshi Tianzun, and it is like Yuanshi Tianzun coming in person." Tuoba Dacheng Old Immortal Changzhong Book "The Secret Record of the Virtual School Volume II Guangchengzi's Theory")
"double practice" is also a way of "refinement of virtual school". However, it is not within the scope of individual practice, but a method of "couple practice". However, "joined dual cultivation" is not what people call men and women. ** and achieve "becomment of a god" and "becomment of an immortal". The image shown by Tuoba Dacheng Lao Xianchang in the "External Baby True Sutra" complements each other by guiding yang, guiding yin with yang, guiding the vein with Renmai, and guiding Ren veins by guiding Ren veins; then with the left yang and right yin, left yin and right yang, and labor palace to transport dragons and tigers, fighting and poles to exchange qi... and achieve the "god" to become "immortal". However, there is still a rule: "Don't marry without a virgin." That is to say, it is best not to marry a woman who has been married to practice both.
The "true self" was rescued by the "true self" through the war, and after the beginning of the Taoism, it became a layer.
To the next level, as people often say, "the soul returns to the mountain". However, the Daoshan mentioned here is not to "return to Daoshan" after people die, but to measure themselves as the size of cultivation.
