[104] Longevity
"Hmm?" Seeing the sudden appearance of a page of gold paper, Shang Yan couldn't help but reach out to catch it.
He never thought that this magical card would change like this, which is really surprising.
The gold paper is extremely thin, with about 200 characters on it, and the font is extraordinary and it is easy to understand.
Shang Yan quickly scanned it and found that it was actually a kind of internal alchemy technique, foundation-building Qigong, called Changyannian Sutra. This page of gold paper is only a small part of the complete Changyannian Sutra, which is considered incomplete.
But even so, the gold paper in Shang Yan's hand at this moment recorded the first step in the foundation-building Qigong of the inner alchemy technique, how to refine essence and transform qi.
"Interesting." Shang Yan nodded thoughtfully.
The five Taoist techniques are mountain, medicine, fate, appearance, and divination.
Every technique has the power of heaven when it is studied to the extreme.
Mountain is the method of Taoist cultivation. It cultivates human body and spiritual consciousness through bait, alchemy, mysterious scriptures, boxing techniques, talismans, etc., thereby achieving the realm of heaven and man that transcends the body and mind.
Use the energy of the entire world and even the energy in the celestial universe to change oneself and become a saint. This is what the Taoist sect calls the mystery of seizing the creation of heaven and earth and invading the sun and moon.
Refining essence into qi is the first step in this long process.
The emergence of this long-lasting and remnant page undoubtedly added a broad road to Shang Yan's life trajectory.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the stage of refining essence into qi can be achieved, Shang Yan's physical strength and endurance will be much greater than that of ordinary people, and the true qi in his body will be circulated, continuously and endlessly.
If he can really complete Qi refining, Shang Yan's personal strength will definitely be several times higher.
After carefully putting Chang Yannian into his pocket, Shang Yan left Lu Gong Temple to prepare for what he wanted to do.
Although I was unexpectedly given the Long Yan Nian Sutra, the construction of Baojiagong Temple cannot be delayed in case it affects the progress of the task.
I walked to Master Lu Wooden Shop. This place was still the same as when Shang Yan came. The store was quiet and no one cared about.
"Is anyone here?" Shang Yan walked into the store and shouted.
Soon, Lu Fugong's figure walked out from behind a pile of wood carvings.
"It's you, what are you going to order this time?" Lu Fugong still remembered Shang Yan, the guest, who had no intention of polite words, and asked directly.
"Last time I asked you for the kind of table I customized, I want to have another one. This is the drawing." Shang Yan handed the altar drawing he took out from the old house to the other party.
But Lu Fugong shook his head: "No need, I still keep the size data of your table. Just pay the deposit first and get it after three days."
"Okay." Shang Yan nodded.
This old store is different. It is easy to handle things without any delay.
After transferring the money to Lu Fugong through Zhibao, Shang Yan originally planned to leave immediately, but before leaving, his Yu Guang suddenly noticed something in the pile of wood carvings next to him.
It was a nameless spirit brand that had just been carved and had not been painted and polished.
"Hey, boss, do you sell this spiritual brand?" Shang Yan asked.
“Not done yet.”
"I know, can you sell it now?"
"If you want it, you'll get it for 200 yuan."
Shang Yan bought this spiritual card with Lu Fugong without hesitation.
Because he thought that the Lu Gong Temple was a combination of the altar of the god-playing spirit card, Shang Yan couldn't help but think about whether he wanted to build the Baojiagong Temple to find a spiritual card that also showed the identity of Baojiagong.
In fact, using spiritual cards to indicate identity is a very low-level method. A little rich Taoist temple or Buddhist temple is used to directly invite people to put on statues, and there are even gilded bodies and other methods.
Shang Yan has not fully understood the specific operation of the cemetery, so he does not intend to invite a statue for the Lu Gong Temple or Baojia Gong Temple. When he learns the secrets in the future, he will spend money to make up for it.
Holding a spirit sign, he walked out of Master Lu’s wooden shop, and Shang Yan returned directly towards the old house.
Dongmu Town is now in its prosperous and young. Middle-aged people either go out to work or stay in the town to build vegetable greenhouses, while young people all went to Wencheng to go to school. If it weren't for the fact that there was an average junior high school and an elementary school in the town, I wouldn't have seen a child in Dongmu Town during the day.
When passing by the town people's activity square in the center of the town, Shang Yan saw a group of men wearing Tai Chi yellow robes standing in the square talking, looking very much like those mages who gave folk funeral practices.
In addition to these people, there was also a familiar figure in the crowd, Aunt Chunli.
After a few discussions between Aunt Chunli and the people who were leading the mage, everyone immediately walked out of the town, as if they were going to Qingyang Mountain.
"It seems that Aunt Chunli has found a new handling staff." Shang Yan said inwardly.
Last time I found an unreliable Feng Shui liar, I believe Aunt Chunli should have learned the lesson this time.
Shang Yan withdrew his gaze and soon returned to his old house.
Since Liu Ya and Wen Pao were not in Dongmu Town, Shang Yan obviously felt that life lacked a little fun. After all, you live alone in an empty house and no one can chat with you, which is really a lonely thing.
Fortunately, Shang Yan often has tasks to do, so he won’t be too bored.
The altar is still in a hurry, and the other tasks on the blackboard are not enough to be completed in a short time. Shang Yan sat on the bed, took out the remaining pages of the Long Annals Sutra and looked at them carefully.
The font of Xingkai is not difficult to understand. Shang Yan can still understand the meaning expressed above by looking at each word.
This is mentioned in "The Notes on Walking the Mountain", but just a few words roughly explain the power and function of refining essence into qi, and there is no specific method of practicing.
After all, the foundation-building Qigong of the inner alchemy technique is the top priority of the Taoist sect, precious and mysterious, and it is not something that ordinary people like Pu Qingsong who have learned from Zuoshan for several years can understand.
"Sit cross-legged and embrace the spirit of energy, keep your mind in the lower dantian, and your mind enters the empty and calm state, and attracts the innate qi to purify the heart. The internal qi does not come out and the external qi does not come in. It holds the qi for the fetal breath, and everything is empty, and all thoughts are gone. The innate qi and the yin and yang of the human body merge and converge, and the essence and qi are refined, and turn into qi, and then they can rotate with the river carriage and refine the elixir..."
There are 267 words on the remaining page of Changyannian Jing. Shang Yan took more than ten minutes to write them down.
But it is easy to write it down, but it is difficult to understand and digest it. Shang Yan adjusted his body movements according to the posture described on the residual page, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to close his eyes and relax.
To refine essence and turn into qi, you need to enter a state called "fetal breathing and holding breath". In this state, you will not think about anything and cannot think of anything.
