Chapter 32 Putting a long line and catching a big fish
Sun Yong did not dare to be negligent and quickly said, "A little knowledge is that the immortals follow the principles of Yi, follow the principles of Yin and Yang, pick all herbs and stones, cook three or five times, combine them to form elixirs, take them with wine, and guide them to achieve immortality."
"Have you ever seen anyone who has become an immortal with pills?"
Sun Yong shook his head honestly this time. "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
"Have you ever accepted it?"
"After taking it twice, the five internal organs are dry and hot, the body is light and the mind is flying. It does have some effects, but it is too expensive and cannot be taken regularly."
Cao Miao couldn't help laughing out loud, with a hint of disdain. "It's good that the Lord of the Fu is not in regular terms, otherwise I don't know whether you can become an immortal. It's very possible to become a ghost." He sat up and looked at Sun Yong sitting cross-legged with frivolous eyes. "After the Lord of the Fu is taking food, is he like a long-lasting man, an evil ghost in his beauty, no matter how beautiful or ugly, he just wants to vent his pleasure?"
Sun Yong's face was red and his ears were red, and he kept silent.
Although Cao Miao said it vulgarly, it is the truth. It is the same for taking Dan and San. In addition to being hot, the desire will also rise. The idea of replenishing the brain is often thrown behind the head. Finding an old wife and beautiful concubines to perform the art of having sex is the final choice for many people. After a long time, those who have become immortals have not seen it. They are weak and need to help them walk. There are countless people who can only ride in a ox cart when they ride.
Sun Yong wanted to become an immortal, but although he did not refuse female sex, he was not very interested. He gave up after trying twice.
"Do you know why?"
"Please give advice from the prince."
"Everything has inner and outer parts, and is divided into yin and yang, and the inner and outer parts correspond. Yin and yang are in harmony. Only lonely yin does not produce, lonely yang does not grow. There is only elixir outside the body, but elixir inside the body is ignored. Seeking immortals and asking for the Tao is just a matter of seeking fish. How can one succeed?"
Cao Miao spoke in a sarcasm and talked freely. At this moment, he was Huang Shang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Qiu Chuji, the real person in Changchun in "Stop Killing", mixing the contents of "Nine Yin Scriptures" and "The Great Pill Direct Measurement" and swearing to make Sun Yong dizzy.
He still has confidence in this regard.
For the Taoist priests of the Wei and Jin Dynasties who had just learned to refine the Five Stones, the theory of inner alchemy that would not mature within a thousand years is undoubtedly future technology, and it has a market more than muskets and cannons. It is the power and wealthy to defeat the enemy, but the generals are the dream of everyone, and seeking immortals and asking for the truth is not the same level.
When I was fishing for Sun Yong these days, Cao Miao was not idle. He was well prepared and made up for the fragmented theories in the lines and integrated them with "Laozi". Of course, there are flaws, but it is enough to deal with Sun Yong.
Even so, he deliberately made the clouds and mountains full of fogs. Many places were passing by, deliberately leaving suspense and creating a sense of mystery. If it really doesn't make sense, he would suggest that the memory in his dreams is blurred.
His theory is half true, but his performance is very real, with expression, tone, and some seemingly unintentional small movements, which are very accurate, and Sun Yong can't help but disbelieve it.
Sure enough, Sun Yong fainted after listening for a while and was so excited. With his knowledge accumulation and his spirit of studying who had always been accustomed to blind obedience, he not only had no doubts about Cao Miao's theory, but instead began to consciously repair it.
That's right. Since there is an external elixir, there should be an internal elixir. Moreover, people are the spirit of all things. If there is qi, they will live; if there is no qi, they will die. Using qi as medicine and the body as a furnace, this is the real way of golden elixir. Those external elixirs refined with herbs and elixirs are only suitable for assistance at most, and cannot be used as the main means or even the only means. Just like when a person is sick, keeping his body strong is the key, and the acupuncture of medicine and stones is just an auxiliary.
"Prince Gao Jian." Sun Yong's face turned red with excitement and his eyes were bright and bright. "Is this sitting method a technique for practicing Qi?"
Cao Miao smiled slightly. "The husband of the Mansion has been in good shape these days, so he must have sat there often."
"That's right." Sun Yong stroked his beard and couldn't hide his complacentness. "Being enlightened by the prince, Yong did not dare to neglect these two days and nights, and he would benefit greatly. Not to mention anything else, this sleep would be much better, and he would never toss and turn again, like a beard cake. Haha, it is said that real people have no dreams. Yong has practiced for decades and finally got closer to the real people."
"The Lord of the Fu is thinking too much." Cao Miao took the opportunity to pour a basin of cold water to prepare for the next long-term plan.
"Please give me some advice."
"As the saying goes, there are many people who seek the Tao, and there are very few people who have attained the Tao. How can one become a saint just by sitting in a mere way? It is just a method of first glimpse into the Tao realm. It can be said that after seeing the threshold, it is still a long way from entering the hall."
When Sun Yong saw the hunting, he bowed and asked for advice again.
"This technique is only suitable for beginners to build foundations, subdue the mind, and first see the wonders of tranquility. Only when the water is quiet can you see the way, and only when the mind is quiet can you see the nature. If you reach the state of tranquility, this technique will not help you practice. You should abandon it like a worn-out shoe and look for higher skills."
"What kind of high-quality skills?" Sun Yong asked impatiently.
Cao Miao glanced at Sun Yong. "Mr., first cultivate your mind. You are too anxious. Before you get Long, how can you look for Shu?"
Sun Yong laughed awkwardly. "Shame, ashamed."
"I want to remind Mr. Fu in one thing."
Sun Yong bowed respectfully, like a disciple paying homage to his master. "Please speak frankly."
"Although the inner elixir and outer elixir are different, the effects are similar, and they all have the effect of strengthening the essence and strengthening the root cause. Although the inner elixir is not as domineering as the outer elixir, it is easier to control and is beneficial to the strength of the offspring. However, if you focus on the offspring, you will inevitably fall into lust, which will be unfavorable to the offspring. You may be infertile, or born weak, and have congenital deficiencies, and often suffer from premature death."
Cao Miao stopped and took a sip of water to give Sun Yong a time to think. This passage is the message he really wants Sun Yong to convey. It needs Sun Yong to digest it carefully and remember it in his heart. The past and later are all prelude and concealment.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the population plummeted. In addition to frequent wars, another important reason was hunger and plague. Not only did adults have short lives, but the rate of infant death was also high. Cao Miao had two sisters but died, one lived for half a year and the other lived for nine months.
One of the reasons for the high rate of infant death is that early marriage and early childbirth is prevalent in this era. Parents are still half-aged and their bodies are not strong enough. Cao Miao attributed it to congenital deficiencies, which is not all nonsense.
He spent so much effort to hide this purpose, not because of the two young sisters, but because of the emperor Cao Rui. If he wants to get rid of this almost prisoner-like situation and return to the center of power, he must attract Cao Rui's attention or be vigilant.
Cao Cao sent his dreams and passed on the art of Guangsi, which was both a warning to Cao Rui and a temptation to Cao Rui.
Cao Cao had twenty-five sons, nearly half of whom he lived to adulthood, and was still in a time of chaos and was a spokesperson for the stallion of this era. If history had not changed significantly due to his arrival, Cao Rui would have died several sons in a few years. At that time, he would not have been indifferent to the Guangsi art passed down by Cao Cao. As long as Cao Rui had something to ask for, the situation where their father, son and brother were trapped in Yongqiu would have a chance to be alleviated.
Life, death, honor and disgrace are only in the emperor's thoughts. Either you live well, be an emperor, or deal with the emperor.
That's what everyone says in costume dramas.
