Chapter 40: Spring is here

, Dragon and Tiger, Taiji Jindan is the perfect

The five elements are protected, and the three ones last forever. The dragon roars and tigers roars, and the road is flat...

Fifteen days after the vernal equinox, Dou points to Ding, which means Qingming. At that time, all things are clean and clear. At that time, the qi and scenery are clear and all things are revealed, so Qingming is named.

When Taoist practices, as for the achievements of the golden elixir, those who have no choice but to live by the dead will be reborn. They follow the heavens and their fate will go against the Tao. To achieve the great Tao, they must have both nature and life. Therefore, Taoism has the saying that they follow the heavens but take away the fortune.

The wonderful use of the Great Dao is Qiankun, the fortune of Qiankun and the five elements are divided,

The Tao has the five elements of birth and death, and the five elements are reversed and the alchemy is always alive.

The furnace and cauldron are used to refine golden elixirs, and yin and yang turn into dragon and tiger. In Taoist elixirs, they refer to lead, mercury, Kan, Li, water, fire, yin and yang. Taoist elixirs are divided into internal and external. External elixirs are also called external medicines, and internal elixirs become internal medicines. In terms of yin and yang, the five elements, dragon yang is born in Li, and Li belongs to fire, so there is a saying that dragons come out of fire, tiger yin is born in Kan, and Kan belongs to water, so it is said that tigers are born to the edge of water. After the two are combined, one yin and one yang are harmonized with each other, which is called the Tao origin, and they are both representatives of the Yuanshen and the Yuan essence.

Another saying is that nature belongs to wood, wood represents the east, and in the hexagram it is Zhen, so Bi is the blue dragon; life belongs to metal, metal represents the west, and in the hexagram it is Dui, and in the hexagram it is white, so it is called white tiger. Gold can overcome wood, so the emotions often damage nature, and use the true essence of 28 to make it merge into one, so that metal and wood are endless, and the dragon and tiger are subdued to form a elixir.

In the human body, the liver is the dragon and the kidney is the tiger. The external elixir still refers to the meaning of yin and yang, with dragon as lead and tiger as mercury.

To prepare for my impending completion of the Golden Elixir, I can say that I have browsed a large number of related books, plus the memories I have obtained from the Old Taoist Chongxuan, I cannot say that I fully understand the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes and myself, but in a vague way, I also have a general understanding of the subsequent cultivation.

During this period, my life was very peaceful. Every day at school, I was careless. Others seemed to be in a daze, but they knew that I was intoxicated by the pleasure of practicing Taoism and guarding the gods.

It can be said that I am the high Xuanshen Cave, and the dragon transforms into Lingzhao has completely forgotten the external objects.

Since my obsession with the martial arts I taught, my classmates always came to harass me and asked me to teach him more skillful martial arts. I thought that when I taught him Yin and Yang and Five Elements Hand that morning, it was just a whim. I had the intention to teach him something more.

I wonder what will happen if I eat the "yuan-enhancing pills" I have refined to the energetic classmate Cao Kui? Haha, I just thought about it, I still remember the pug!

Besides, my original intention is to give him a higher level of physical fitness and make it more conducive to taking the physical education school, rather than wanting him to become a martial arts master.

Zhang Yu in the class has become more and more active recently. Since my deskmate Xiaoman transferred to school, Zhang Yu has become a focus of our class.

What made me helpless is that this focus person is very concerned about my learning situation. She advises me to study hard almost every day and improve every day... Occasionally, she also brings some greetings from Xiaoman.

My cousin Zhang Fuhong has also slowly recovered from the decadence of Xiaoman's transfer to school, but he has become a little taciturn. Alas! It's almost spring now, I hope he can find a second spring to rejuvenate his youth!

Three days before Qingming Festival every year, men from our Zhang family gather together to visit the tombs, which is called paper pressing in the local language of our hometown.

The so-called paper pressing is the common name of filling some soil on the tombs of our ancestors and pressing yellow paper. My hometown is still a custom of burial at this time. Therefore, every time this season, Uncle San would do some yellow paper business.

The same is true this year. Three days before the Qingming Festival, my third uncle and cousin returned to our hometown ninety-four feet. We drove a big truck to our hometown with hundreds of sleepy yellow paper and dozens of boxes of underworld coins. Of course, half of them were used by our Zhang family.

In addition to those yellow paper money, we also prepared a cow head, two sheep heads, five pig heads, and twelve chickens. Our Zhang family was originally a big family. Although the death of his grandfather in recent years has caused the hearts of the Zhang family to be uneven, everyone is very active in the matter of tomb sweeping.

When my grandfather passed away, because there was no Yin and Yang to make a temple, Uncle San planned to visit the tomb this time. Our Zhang family must make the show bigger. Anyway, most of the money was paid by Uncle San himself, and others almost did not object.

On the day of the grave sweeping, the family also prepared three lucky super big steamed buns, each as big as a washbasin. We placed the cattle and sheep and other sacrificial items in front of and behind our grandfather's grave. The third uncle of the clan leader took three big steamed buns and stood on his grandfather's grave and rolled the steamed buns down to us kneeling juniors. Whoever was lucky enough to get the steamed buns means who was the most loved by our ancestors.

I was lazy in using my own methods of practicing Buddhism in these things. In the end, I got two of them, but two were taken away by my cousin. Except for my cousin and I went to school in the provincial capital, my other brothers of mine were all studying in a local high school in Jiusizhang.

Everyone says that my cousin and I are lucky people in our generation and will definitely have a great future. On this day, my cousin is full of energy and has swept away the decadence of recent decay.

We all ate and drank in front of our grandfather’s grave for the whole morning, but I sat quietly on a big rock and remembered the love my grandfather had for me during his lifetime. Now, the yin and yang are separated and we will never see each other again.

As a cultivator, I suddenly wondered if a person's soul could be reincarnated after death, would my grandfather have been reincarnated and reincarnated as a human being? If it is true... it's a pity that I am not good at Taoism, haha! If my Taoism is enough and a person can be reincarnated, would I go to the reincarnated grandfather?

After a lifetime, the leaves fall, the cause and the fate are destroyed, and the reincarnation is gone for several cycles, the body is without glass, and it is pure and filthy. Will I still go to find it?...

When everyone went back in the afternoon, I was alone behind. For some reason, after I practiced Taoism, not only did I feel that I was getting farther and farther away from my classmates, but even the people of the family felt that they gradually became farther and farther away.

Human affection? Taoist love?

Could it be that human feelings are really strong and Taoist feelings are subtle, while Taoist feelings are heavy and Taoist feelings are subtle?

Thinking about these questions, I did not go home directly with everyone, but returned to the small hill in front of my grandfather's grave. The only doubt in my heart was to talk to the deceased grandfather...

"Grandpa, how do you think I will change? How will I face the world in the future?"

I asked quietly standing in front of my grandfather's grave.

A breeze blew, and the yellow paper on my grandfather's grave blew everywhere.

My mind was slowly attracted by these fluttering yellow paper and money, and a trace of spiritual consciousness could not help but attach to the piece of paper floating freely in the wind...

Slowly, my mind gradually relaxed and fluttered with the wind.

Freedom, I seemed to be the piece of flying paper, falling down and flying up. Slowly, I seemed to be the wind again, quietly caressing everything in the world.

The questions in my heart swept away. Although I practice Taoism, I don’t want to become an immortal. So the fate of the world is my fate for the rest of my life. What if I break it, what if I keep it?

The way of heaven is in the heart of man, I am the way, why should I be confused by the way that is not me?

I felt a lighter all over and my doubts scattered with the wind.

I raised my hands, felt the gentleness of the wind, and felt everything in the wonderful world.

My spiritual consciousness suddenly became extremely wide, spreading to the entire ninety-four feet, as if countless eyes were observing the world, willows bud, peach blossoms bloom, the earth rejuvenated, and spring was spring. Look! The puppy that I had fed Buyuan Dan pulled out the iron smelting to find the little flower dog. The birds in the sky chased each other in pairs, and the villagers' horses screamed...

I suddenly realized that spring has begun and festivals have passed, all things carry the qi of spring, flowers fall to grow, and feel the qi and the real...

At this moment, my spiritual consciousness clearly captured a breath of thousands of trees rejuvenating from the nine-four-meter mountain. The vitality in my body suddenly became active like a tiger, and the inner elixir in the dantian suddenly changed like a dragon and a cloud.

A mellow energy of heaven and earth suddenly penetrated through the canopy and entered my Niwan. Multiple pores in my body were relaxed in one go, and the vital energy inside and outside my body blended intimately.

"Ao...!"

"roar……!"

Two different voices suddenly came from my mind. In an instant, I felt a dragon and a tiger transformed from the entire Jiusizhang Mountain, along the energy of heaven and earth, and into my Huagai zenith. When passing through my Niwan, the dragon pattern on the edge of the Xuanhuang Banner came alive. The dragon was blue and the tiger appeared white.

The blue dragon plate and white tiger, the tiger is intimate with the dragon body, and the two are in harmony. My God's Mansion suddenly has a golden light. It feels so good.

"Oh...oh...!"

I couldn't help but whistle to the sky-
Chapter completed!
