Something is mixed and born before heaven and earth. I don’t know its name, so I strongly call it the way!

I am a senior, wise and extraordinary. However, he has a wonderful writing style of 5,000 words, but he has not explained what he wants to say clearly, so he can only call it "Tao". It seems that some things are difficult to accurately describe in words and words. Feng Junzi once said that I was lucky enough to meet him, a person with good eloquence, and always find ways to explain many of my problems. If I change to another practitioner, I will take off my shoes and take me out.

What is a spiritual pill? It is a conscious energy? It may be a purely idealistic existence, because only the pill practitioner can feel it themselves, and another person cannot verify it with means beyond the spiritual experience, let alone use any experimental instrument to detect it.

What is a baby? Is it an energy consciousness? Or a consciousness with existence? Its origin has existed before the existence of us, but it reappears in the acquired world. It may have materialistic components, and it is another form of rebirth after returning to simplicity and truth.

But is this the truth? I can say yes or no, and I can only express it in this way. The practice of practitioners is not necessarily a kind of skill cultivation, but in the end, it is more of a kind of cultivation. The highest question pursued by Taoists since ancient times is to become an immortal? Is immortality? What is behind the two words "god"?

All Taos face philosophical thinking beyond science and above. They look for the philosophical origin behind idealism, materialism, consciousness, and existence. There is no answer in the laboratory, but a long time ago, people tried to verify it from their own hearts, and religion was born, and God, Buddha or Tao. This is why Lao Tzu and Confucius were saints.

However, there is another group of people in the world who use empirical methods and use their own empirical methods, with their hearts or bodies. Over time, a series of rituals or means have been formed. This is practice, and there are also a variety of practice sects in the world. Gradually, means replaced the goal, and many practitioners pursue only magical powers.

This passage was not what Feng Junzi told me, but I thought of when I was meditating. Feng Junzi said that I was restless because of the matter of Xiuxiu, and needed to sit down well for a while to calm myself down and then practice. As a result, I sat in the classroom and thought about it so much. This may be the first time I have realized it consciously since I learned the alchemy. The reason why I thought of so many messy things was entirely because of the political teacher on the podium. I am now taking political classes, but the teacher did not teach textbooks, but went off topic as I was talking.

Our political teacher is a young man in his sixties and a national special teacher. He should have been honored to leave by age, but the old man insisted on teaching for another three years and said he would take the last class of students. Teacher Tang’s lectures were strange. He didn’t take the textbook or the lesson plan, he went to the podium with empty hands, picked up a piece of chalk and started teaching, and he often played it at will. Principal He and the Director of Teaching Prescriptions had a lot of opinions about the old man, but there was no way to do it. Teacher Tang was the only person in this school who had privileges and did not care about the authority of the school leaders.

Old Man Tang has been a teacher in this school for more than 40 years. His disciples are everywhere, and many of them are now in high positions. There are many high-ranking officials in the provincial department, but they have always respected the old man. The old man was once beaten by the rightist, lived in a cadre school cowshed, and was once taken with a high hat to parade and criticize. But Old Man Tang is different from Principal Liu back then. He has a strong body and has been tortured and still is still alive. If a person does not take the principal seriously, the school leader has no temper at all. He can only mutter behind his back that the Education Bureau above has no choice but to do anything about this old man.

Teacher Tang was standing on the podium and sighing: "The education you receive is a failed generation of education. It can only cultivate craftsmen, but not masters! I have been teaching for more than 40 years. Let's take the textbooks you use for example. In a few years, the previous content will be replaced with new ones. Teachers cannot teach students eternal thoughts, but they are always teaching these dogmas that are destined to be destroyed... I suggest that the content of political courses should be reformed, ideological education, and revolutionary history content space, at least half of the lessons should be used to teach three very important knowledge - etiquette, logic and philosophy! If you don't learn these three courses, people will be disabled after graduation! Don't say you are my teacher Tang's students after graduation, I don't want people to know that what I taught is waste."

After hearing this, the students wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. What kind of teacher teaches students? No wonder people like Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei appeared in our class. Teacher Tang also shouted on the podium: "Everyone says that China is a country of etiquette, fart! I ask you, since you were young, no matter in school or at home, who has received systematic etiquette education?... The only place in China that provides etiquette education is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Before the diplomats went abroad for the first time... They don't know how to keep their rituals alive, but how can they understand the righteousness of the country in times of crisis?... They sacrifice themselves to blow up bunkers and block gun holes in their chests. Although it is education, there is more important thing. No one teaches them what they usually do when they talk, walk, and eat."

Education for walking and eating is more important than education for sacrificing oneself to blow up bunkers? This is what Old Man Tang dares to say, but if another teacher is going to bed, he might have gone home early. The old man was intrigued today and said endlessly: "Education is not just about telling students what is right and what kind of thoughts should be. Instead, teaching students how to think and find a kind of thought. If you don't learn logic, it will be difficult for you to know why others have such thoughts, but if you don't study philosophy, you will have no soul... An idealistic Hegel is greater and wiser than a hundred vulgar materialists. The teaching director responsible for your ideological education will definitely not exceed that of me who was more than two thousand years ago..."

Old Man Tang mentioned me that my thoughts began to slip away from this time. I remembered the alchemy I learned. My practice of the alchemy in the four-door twelve-level building has reached the realm of "big medicine" and is not far from the "spiritual pill", but I still don't know what this alchemy is?

...

"Shiye, I ask you, what is going on in the devil?" This is what Feng Junzi said to me yesterday under the top scholar bridge.

Going into a demon? This word sounds weird and terrible! In many martial arts novels and kung fu works, when it comes to being possessed by the demon, the martial arts will be lost at the least, and the life will be lost at the worst. But I don’t know what it means to be possessed by the demon, so I can only ask Feng Junzi: “Is there a mistake in practicing the exercises, such as Qigong?”

Feng Junzi: "Don't talk to me about qigong, I don't know that very well! The breath goes awry and is called a deviation, and it has nothing to do with being in a devil. Going out of fire and being in a devil are completely different, and it is not as terrible as the legendary one... Ishino, read the contents of this newspaper."

Feng Junzi pulled out half of the wrinkled newspaper from under his butt, and I took it to flatten it and said, "The president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China embezzled public funds to gamble..."

Feng Junzi: "There is a fire due to greed."

"Young and promising department-level cadre ruins his future for his mistress..."

Feng Junzi: "Become a demon because of desire."

I put down the newspaper and asked, "They are not practitioners either. Why is this called being possessed by the devil?"

Feng Junzi: "It can be said that it is or not. Fire escape is a term for alchemy, which refers to the wrong thoughts when collecting herbs and forming elixirs... Into the devil is a term for meditation, which refers to the illusion of the mind when entering the samadhi, and people are obsessed with it and cannot break through the realm. It is actually not terrible to go to the devil, and the wrong time is wrong, which is likely to be a waste and a great medicine, and you need to go back. Entering the devil state is just that the meditation cultivation is not moving forward, and the mind cannot seek liberation."

"It's no big deal? But what I heard about assassination is terrible!"

Feng Junzi smiled softly: "It's just a rumor. There is a saying that since ancient times, how many people have become immortals? You and I have never seen a real immortal with your own eyes. But have you seen a person who truly practices and gets into devils? Have you seen a life or a wounded person after learning alchemy or meditation with your own eyes? Don't say that you have never seen it, you have never even heard of it."

"But I've heard of practicing qigong to become a psychopath."

Feng Junzi: "If you don't practice Taoism, you will have a mental illness. This has nothing to do with practice, at least it has nothing to do with alchemy. Of course, if you encounter evil demons and heretics, it is hard to say that you are brainwashed by evil people and evil people. I once told you that there are thirteen heavenly tribulations. The first catastrophe is lust, and you are trapped by desire; the second catastrophe is the disease of physical suffering and retreat; the third catastrophe is the disease of demon realm, which is the bias of correct mind. If you cannot pass the heavenly tribulations, it only means that you are sick, either physical illness or mental illness... Let you read this newspaper to let you know that if you don't practice, you will also get into devils, and the path of devils in practice is just another reflection of your physical and mental inseparableness."

I nodded: "Then what you mean is that monks don't have to worry about getting into a demon?"

Feng Junzi: "Yes, don't even think about it, just do your own thing well. I will tell you this mainly to teach you the formula for the heat. There are three formulas between the great medicine and the elixir, namely, take, heat, and add…"

The mantra I adopted turned out that Feng Junzi had already taught me, and the four-character formula of "suck, resist, clamp, and close" is adopted. Think about it, how can there be a big medicine if you don't take it? As for the heat, there are two types of fire, and the martial fire. When the body and mind are not combined, use martial fire, and use martial fire with body and mind. If the mind is not dispersed, it is martial fire, and if the thought is not accumulated, it is martial fire. Before the elixir is formed, it is the skill of warming up the inner elixir. If the body is not moved, it is called pulling, and if the mind is not moved, it is called ing. The so-called spiritual elixir appears, it is the combination of body and mind, and the spirit and energy are blended.

It seems that this mantra is very difficult to explain. After Feng Junzi finished speaking, he sweated, and I only heard it but didn’t understand. After listening, I asked again: “What is the combination of body and mind?”

Feng Junzi pointed at my forehead with his finger: "The body is yours, and the heart is yours. Why ask me if the body and mind are in harmony?"

I patted my forehead and smiled, "That's true, I'll know then!... Is it really what you said?"

Feng Junzi: "People who slander the alchemy, or those who slander practice, often say that this is idealistic superstition, and those who practice will get into evil. But if you think about it, if there is no practice in the world, where will the realm of fire come from? If someone thinks that there is a demon, then you must first admit that there is a great power... You cannot just blame one and not the second... This is logic!..."

Feng Junzi talked about idealism and logic yesterday. Today, Teacher Tang talked about idealism and logic in class again, which triggered a moment of thinking. I heard Feng Junzi's words yesterday with only a little understanding, but today, after listening to Teacher Tang's words, I suddenly felt moved and seemed to understand something.

...

Midnight, sit quietly.

The great medicine has appeared, guarding the inner scene of the primordial spirit, calming the mind and breathing without dissipating, and the spirit and energy are in harmony. At this time, the body and five senses are forgotten in the static state, and another pure consciousness appears in the palace of the Niwan in the Dingmen. There is a great movement in the static state, five sounds, five colors, five flavors, and five energy gathering. The primordial spirit is in harmony, and the vital energy is in conflict, and suddenly it feels like flying and misty. What is this feeling? The feeling before collecting the medicine is extremely quiet, and the feeling when you get the medicine is great movement, but the feeling at this time is no movement or static, just like the chaos is not opened.

What is chaos? Chaos is Wuji, the way to be born. This Wuji is not the movie "Wuji" made by a director named Chen later, but has no starting point and no end point. How to explain it? People are born from the essence and blood of their parents, so before the essence and blood are conceived? What is the state of human beings? Some people say that there is nothing! The answer is correct, that is, no, the innate soul is in Wuji. Wuji's nothing is the creation of nothing out of nothing.

A slight cleavage appears in the chaos, gradually becoming clear, like a mysterious bead condensed. The body does not move but the qi is calm, the mind does not move but the spirit is calm, and the mysterious bead gradually becomes. This is the appearance of the formation of the elixir.

It is hard to describe what this spiritual pill is. It is a kind of conscious energy. Energy comes from the vital energy, and consciousness comes from the innate and acquired primordial spirit. It feels like it is my existence, and it can also consolidate the consciousness in the state of concentration on its carrier. This is called the combination of body and mind. The inner pill is the free body and mind in the body.

When practicing the alchemy, what is the difference between having elixir and not having elixir? This is a boundary, and the division is very obvious. For example, I don’t have to sit in meditation to find spiritual consciousness, and then use spiritual consciousness to display magical powers. The elixir is one with the soul. As long as my mind is thought everywhere, the spiritual consciousness can be locked, and I always walk, sit and lie down. No wonder the elixir has been formed since ancient times, because there is elixir to perform magical magic as I wish. The display of any Taoist law requires the mind to control it, and the elixir is the root hub of combining spiritual energy, otherwise it will be very troublesome. I don’t know other sects, but I feel this way anyway.

...

After the elixir was completed, according to Feng Junzi, he would teach me a spell within ten days and teach me how to use the Qingming Mirror. Then I went to Qiyun Temple to find a Taoist priest to ask for a soothing. Seven days had passed.

Feng Junzi didn't say much when he saw that I had a seven-day elixir. After school, he asked me to take Qingming Mirror to the Jushui River. The reason why I didn't go to the Zhuangyuan Bridge was because the place was not open enough. Now the place we stood is the pebble beach where I once practiced "Donkey Rolling". The first thing he said to me was: "You are a miracle. I have never seen a elixir so fast. You have been practicing the alchemy for less than a year. Thank you for your good luck. You didn't have to go through the heavenly tribulation of the Demon Realm and got the Huangya External Pill. But it's not a good thing to be lucky, so I won't say much... I ask you, now you know why the master often teaches his disciples magic after the elixir is completed, right?"

I nodded, and I knew this without saying it. Feng Junzi said again: "There are many rules in the cultivation world, and this is also a rule. Rules always have their reasons. But I am not very good at the rules. Actually, I have taught you two magics, one is the Three Dreams in the World, and the other is the Indian Kaquan. You are already proficient in the World, and now I will tell you the use of Indian Kaquan."

Feng Junzi talked about the rules of the cultivation world and admitted that he did not abide by the rules. As a result, I have never seen him abide by the rules beyond the three precepts in the world. When it comes to Indian Kaquan, I couldn't help but interrupt and said, "The name of Indian Kaquan is too ugly. It sounds like Ah San. Can you change a name?"

Feng Junzi: "What you said is right, I think it's ugly. Let's change it today. How about you called the Breaking Fist with a punch last time?"

"Okay, the Breaking Wall Fist sounds much better!"

Feng Junzi also laughed: "If you break the wall, break the wall. What I want to tell you today is that break the wall is not just break the wall. If this kind of boxing technique changes slightly, it will become the best companion for robbery in the house, that is - the break the wall!"

"Broken Wall Man?"

Feng Junzi's smile became even stronger, and he smiled a little evilly: "The skill of breaking the wall is not on the fist. One is because you have the skill of protecting the body with the Golden Dragon Locking Jade Pillar, and the other is that you have practiced the mind power. Why should you only use this mind power on the fist? It can also be used on the whole body, because the Golden Dragon Locking Jade Pillar protects the whole body. With the same skill, you can punch a hole in the wall with one punch. If the whole person crashes over, wouldn't it be like going through the wall?"

"Through the wall? Robbery!"

Feng Junzi suddenly squeezed his eyes at me: "Swishu is in Qiyun Temple, and that Qiyun Temple is just bricks and tiles. I think the wall cannot be made of steel plates, right? As long as you want to break the wall, which room can't be entered in this broken wall? "

"Isn't it appropriate to do this? I'm going to save Xiu Xiu, not to carry out demolition! Didn't you say that you can't cast spells in the downtown area... The Taoist priests in Qi Yunguan dare not do this, but if I do this, they will use spells to stop it."

Feng Junzi: "I'm not asking you to break the precepts, I just provide you with a reference idea. In short, if you want these Taoists to be afraid, you have to make the bigger the incident, the better. If you are polite, you have to find a way to cause trouble and learn to be smart at that time."
