Chapter 154: Fellow Daoist! You are going too far!
"Even Senior Luo, can't you see it?" Chen Jue's eyes flashed with some doubt when he heard the words. He leaned slightly on the chair, and his eyes also looked at the three words "Quanzhen Rock" that old man Luo pointed to.
Quanzhen Quanzhen. The reason why it is called Quanzhen is because only by practicing the truth can one avoid going astray and eventually attain enlightenment.
Although Chen Jue realized where his emotions were hidden, he was unable to understand where his own path was.
At this time, Old Man Luo saw Chen Jue's doubts, shook his head and sighed: "Daoyou, there is no need to sink into these mysterious things! Everyone has his own life, everyone has his own practice and Tao."
“Although I have used the sleeping pill of the ancestor Chen Xiyi to form the elixir, I am still in the Tao but don’t know what the Tao is. Just as Laozi said in the Tao Te Ching: The Tao that can be described is not the real Tao; the name that can be named is not the real name.”
"If you can speak it out loud, it's not the truth. It's just empty talk."
"Your path and your practice can only be found by yourself. I am just an outsider. Although I can see things more clearly from the outside, I can only show you a rough path."
Chen Jue nodded after hearing this. After being enlightened by the other party's words, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, so he clasped his fists towards the other party and said, "Don't you know that you are in the Tao?"
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
"By the way, senior, I see that you are also from the Quanzhen lineage. Why don't you have to abide by the rules and regulations like Taoist Master Huang Zhen and others?" Chen Jue no longer dwelled on what was true and what was Tao, but instead turned the topic to the other party.
"Hey!"
"The rules and regulations are set for disciples who have not yet attained enlightenment. I'm already this old. All the older teachers have passed away. There's no one to discipline me anymore, so naturally there's no need to stick to the rules. As you young people would say, I'm just letting myself go." Old man Luo said with a smile.
“So that’s how it is!”
"Senior Luo, you are really free and easy!" Chen Jue could use his divine sense to see the spiritual imprint on old man Luo, which was a temperament that was playful and cynical.
Although the other party has a bit of a peculiar personality, this old man Luo has indeed realized his own way. He is a Taoist Jindan master who has attained "Quanzhen". His level of cultivation is much higher than that of Master Jiande, who had an instant enlightenment.
Just like us ordinary people, there is a saying that one is independent at thirty and free from doubts at forty.
Old man Luo is over 80 years old, so naturally he will take some things lightly and let go of his obsession.
But Chen Jue is still too young, only 27 years old. Although his life has been full of twists and turns, his experience is not as good as that of old man Luo.
However, the two people's cultivation methods are not much different. One has his feet on the ground and cultivates his mind in the world. The other is cynical and makes a living by fortune-telling. Both of them are on the path of cultivation of observing others and reflecting themselves.
As mentioned in the Old Book of Tang, Biography of Wei Hui: "A man can use copper as a mirror to adjust his clothes and hat; he can use history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of a country; he can use people as a mirror to understand his gains and losses."
After reading countless stories about worldly people, Chen Jue gradually began to understand the doubts in his mind.
…
After sitting and chatting with Old Man Luo for a while, Chen Jue told him about his experience of forming the elixir.
After learning that Chen Jue had formed the elixir using the power of a dragon and a tiger joining together, Old Man Luo showed an expression of "So that's how it is" and exchanged contact information with Chen Jue.
Feeling that it was getting dark, Chen Jue planned to get up and say goodbye to the other party, intending to go down the mountain to continue measuring the earth and experiencing the world.
But before leaving, Chen Jue was grabbed by Old Man Luo.
The other party took out a QR code for payment and said with a smile, "Don't leave in a hurry, Taoist friend! You can't just walk away after discussing Taoism and resolving doubts. The discount is 168 yuan!"
“…”
"Damn! Senior Luo, don't you clearly mark the price at 68 for other people's fortune-telling? Why is it a hundred yuan more expensive when it comes to me?" Chen Jue's face twitched. He finally saw how powerful this old man Luo is and experienced the wonderful feelings of those tourists who had come to him for fortune-telling before.
"I usually only do half of the fortune telling for others, but today I did the whole fortune telling for you, which also reduced a lot of your luck, so naturally I charge a higher fee."
"I see that you, fellow Taoist, have no worries about food and clothing, so you should not be stingy with this mere hundred dollars, right?" Old man Luo smiled, his face flushed, and he rubbed his fingers, as if he would not let anyone go unless he was paid.
Chen Jue also lost his temper upon seeing this. The other party looked so radiant, he didn't look like he was out of luck at all. He knew at a glance that the other party was talking nonsense, so he took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code held up by the other party, paid the money, said, "Pay!" Then he picked up his bag and fled.
"Chenghui! I received the money! "
"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to Huashan to find the old Taoist! I can also tell fortunes remotely. The pop-up video is 88 yuan each time. Good luck and good fortune!" When Old Man Luo heard the quick sound of money arriving in his mobile phone's e-wallet, his eyes narrowed, he waved at Chen Jue, said a few polite words, and watched Chen Jue go down the mountain.
Just as he packed up his fortune-telling stand and put it in the warehouse of the nearby store, he muttered with a smile, "Business is good today, and a young fat sheep who is not very experienced in the world has been delivered to my door. It seems that I can find a few female donors to play three-in-one tonight, hehe!"
However, when Luo Laotou picked up his phone and opened his electronic wallet to check today's bill, he suddenly found that the last payment was a capital "250". He snorted and raised his head suddenly. His eyes seemed to be electrified. He inhaled and yelled in the direction where Chen Jue disappeared: "Daoyou! You are going too far!"
…
Chen Jue naturally heard the old man Luo's roar. He felt quite happy to deal with this cynical master. Finally, he couldn't help but burst out laughing in response, and walked down Huashan at a brisk pace.
When we returned to Huayin city, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. We found a place to have dinner and then went back to the hotel to wash up.
After getting into bed, thinking about today's experience again, Chen Jue opened his mobile phone and checked WeChat, and found that Old Man Luo sent him an expression of (knife + anger). Chen Jue smiled and shamelessly asked the other party if he had any information about the Sleeping Pill Technique of Master Chen Xiyi that he had mentioned before.
Old man Luo was not angry about the 250 yuan he spent. Instead, he generously sent me an electronic version and attached a voice message: "Daoyou, this Sleeping Dragon Dan Gong is not easy to practice. If you feel that there is something wrong, it is best to stop early. If you fall asleep and can't get up after practicing, then I, the old Taoist, will be guilty! Also, the information on the Internet is incomplete, so you can just practice according to this old Taoist version."
Chen Jue smiled slightly, replied with an "OK" and "fist-bow" expression, then opened the electronic version of the Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique and started browsing.
With just a cursory glance, Chen Jue knew that this Sleeping Dragon Pill technique was extremely exquisite, and was not inferior to the small and large circulations of the Qi that he himself practiced.
It is said that Chen Tuan, who was famous for his sleeping skills, once slept for several days on Mount Huashan and practiced the Five Dragon Sleeping Technique in Wudang. He finally achieved enlightenment while sleeping and composed the "Song of the Sleeping Dragon" to express it. Finally, this skill was passed on to Master Huolong, who passed it on to Master Sanfeng, which led to the exchange between Mount Huashan and Wudang.
Of course, the sleeping skill is much easier to practice than the general Taoist alchemy method, so it comes with auxiliary postures. Unlike the small and large circulations, which rely purely on the movement of qi and blood, the entry threshold is ridiculously high.
Chen Jue saw that he had almost finished studying the materials, so he began to imitate the postures in the materials and practiced the Sleeping Pill Technique on the bed in the hotel. In addition, he was a real person who had formed a golden elixir, so he could freely enter the state of fetal breathing. After practicing for a while, in a daze, the words [Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique Lv0 (1/100)] popped up on the attribute panel.
Moreover, the more he slept, the proficiency of this new skill began to increase by +1+1, and Chen Jue began to fall into an extremely mysterious state of Dan Bao. His Qi and blood were restrained, and his body and brain began to relax.
Just as Zi Yang Zhenren mentioned in the Qing Hua Secret Text: "In stillness, practice the fire, and in concentration, form the elixir."
You should know that sleep is an active process, and human physical health and life span are closely related to the length of deep sleep.
When sleep is deepest, the body releases the most immune substances, which can improve the body's immunity and enhance the body's ability to prevent, resist and recover from disease. This is why old man Luo, who is in his eighties, looks like a middle-aged man in his fifties. It is because he has practiced the sleeping pill method that he can enter deep sleep more easily than ordinary people.
That night, Chen Jue felt that he slept very soundly. The fatigue brought by days of hiking was swept away. When he got up, his [Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique] had been upgraded to Lv1.
After packing his backpack and checking out of the room, Chen Jue found a noodle shop on the street outside the hotel and ate a bowl of knife-cut noodles. Then he set off again and walked towards Xidu.
