Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

Zuo Ruotong said: "I haven't considered how to absorb, transform and use it for my own use. After all, it's just a rough idea now, and the road ahead has not been finalized yet. How can I think so much?"

"That's true," Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "However, I have an idea!"

Zuo Ruotong said quickly: "Little friend Zhiwei, please tell me!"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Although the means of cultivating life are different, they can all be collectively referred to as the inner alchemy. The inner alchemy is an extension of the outer alchemy, and the outer alchemy is the saint thief. Therefore, if you want to absorb the power of transforming heaven and earth, , you can learn from Waidan Yiyi."

"It's like refining the outer elixir, refining the essence of heaven and earth!" Zuo Ruotong suddenly realized: "In this way, it can be regarded as stealing the path from the saint who stepped on the gang and fighting, and returning to the orthodox inner elixir!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "However, I haven't dealt with Waidan, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I know nothing about it, so in this regard, I can only provide a rough idea!"

Hearing this, Zuo Ruotong was immediately stunned and didn't understand anything... Provide a rough idea... Why does this sound so contradictory?

If ordinary people said this, he would definitely think it was unreliable, but these words came from Zhang Zhiwei. Zuo Ruotong listened with an open mind and did not raise any objections. He said with a smile:

"It's enough to have a rough idea. When it comes to external elixirs, I'm quite good at it. There are many ways to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence in the Trinity Sect, and consolidate the innate elixir refining methods. I'll leave the rest to you. I’ll just complete it!”

"Chief Zuo is still good at alchemy?" Zhang Zhiwei asked in surprise.

Zuo Ruotong smiled and said: "I am a member of the Sanyi sect. Before I learned to practice Qi, I first learned to make alchemy. It has been a long time since I came into contact with alchemy. Not to mention being a master of alchemy, I have achieved a small success. I want to learn from it. , there’s still no problem!”

Alchemy is one of the compulsory courses for people in the Trinity Sect. In order to make their bodies meet the requirements for practicing reverse regeneration as soon as possible, they will take elixirs every day from the beginning, and most of them need to be refined by themselves.

In the plot, Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan pretended to be new disciples and sneaked into the Trinity Sect. The first lesson was to learn how to practice elixirs.

"Chief Zuo's methods are naturally reassuring!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"What does little friend Na Zhiwei think..." Zuo Ruotong asked.

"My thoughts..." Zhang Zhiwei said: "I said before that human beings are one of the three thieves. As soon as they are born, they steal all things and steal the world."

"The way ordinary people steal the world and all things is by eating, consuming, and absorbing. This is the most basic truth."

"The same goes for cultivation. If we want to steal heaven and earth, steal all things, we must first learn to 'eat' them. How do ordinary people do it, then how do we practice it."

"And this is the ultimate simplicity!"

Zhang Zhiwei looked directly into Zuo Ruotong's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Menzhang understands what I mean!"

Zuo Ruotong said solemnly: "When a person eats food, it first goes to the stomach, and then the nutrients are extracted, and then sent to the large intestine, small intestine, bladder, triple burner, and gallbladder for processing!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "What little friend Zhiwei means is that it is not like the traditional inner elixir method that uses the Dantian and the five internal organs as the elixir."

"Instead, refine the six internal organs and use them as alchemy cauldrons to absorb and transmit the ingested essence of heaven and earth?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, that's it!"

Zuo Ruotong frowned slightly and said softly: "This idea is really unique!"

"If you obey, you will become a mortal; if you rebel, you will become an immortal!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Chief Zuomen, what do you think?"

Zuo Ruotong pondered for a moment and said, "I have to say, little friend Zhiwei's idea is very bold. You know, people have internal organs."

"Among them, the five internal organs are divided into five elements, and they are divided into yin and yang. They echo the external yin and yang and the five elements. Therefore, many abilities are developed based on the five internal organs."

"The six fu organs are also called the six reservoirs, and the reason why current methods are rarely developed for the six reservoirs. The explanation for this in "Huangdi Neijing·Suwen" is..."

"The Six Storehouses transmit chemical substances but do not hide them. In other words, the Six Storehouses only conduct chemical substances. They are emptied smoothly and never come out of storage. As an organization that conducts Qi, it naturally needs to be as empty as possible, so it cannot be used to produce hair. Practice Qi!"

"The five internal organs are different. The heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys store essence and cannot be released. Therefore, the initial stage of Qi training - refining essence and transforming Qi, must start from the five internal organs."

"Little friend Zhiwei said that practicing Liuku is undoubtedly not in line with the basic way of practicing Qi, but then I thought about it, the internal organs are originally one body, and the two may complement each other."

"Among them, the six internal organs are responsible for the exterior, which is yang, and the five internal organs are responsible for yin, which is the inside. Our elixir skills mainly focus on the internal. If we can train the six internal organs well, well..."

Zuo Ruotong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "If it is just to strengthen the six internal organs, it is really meaningless. It just allows you to absorb nutrients better, eat faster, and poop faster."

"But if you combine it with the Saint Thief and use these six warehouses as a cauldron to absorb and refine the essence of heaven and earth, it will be very unusual. I don't know what the specific effect will be. However, from the effect of stepping on the Gang Steps, You can take a peek!"

"In the state of Ta Gang Step Fighting, you will have almost inexhaustible Qi. Except for maintaining the Ta Gang Step Fight, which will consume a lot of your mind, there is almost no consumption of other things. In other words, you will have almost endless energy. The Qi!"

"At the same time, in the fighting state, some minor injuries will be recovered quickly due to the large amount of vitality absorbed, and they will have extremely strong recovery ability. This recovery ability is not necessarily better than that caused by the reverse life state. He has strong recovery power, but he recovers directly from his body, not through energy transformation!"

"Third point, the reason why people die is that the innate Qi in the body is passing away, being stolen by heaven, earth and all things. Now it is stolen back in this way, which means that the innate Qi has not been depleted and will even become more and more abundant. .”

"In this way, not only will you not grow old, but you will also rejuvenate yourself, allowing your own state to reach the state of innate contentment when a person is born."

"And this period is undoubtedly the closest to the beginning of human beings, the state of innate energy..."

Zuo Ruotong listed them one by one. The more he talked, the more excited he became. His eyes became brighter and brighter. His excitement was beyond words.

As a cultivator, Zuo Ruotong has not been so excited for many years. His heart has always been like a calm deep pool, without waves.

But today, he was in trouble for the first time in a long time.

Moreover, this disturbance is not small.

But Zuo Ruotong was very keenly aware of his state, and quickly put a stop to his wandering thoughts, saying:

"Ashamed, ashamed, a bit out of character!"

"This is nothing!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Saints rob, even saints can't help but want to steal, let alone ordinary people like us!"

"I'm an ordinary person, but that's not necessarily the case for little friend Zhiwei. I'm afraid even those saints were just like this when they were young!"

Zuo Ruotong smiled and said: "I have carefully considered it just now, and the idea mentioned by little friend Zhiwei is really promising. If it can really be used, whether it can reach the sky is not mentioned for the moment, but it is definitely shocking."

"Zuomen Zhang is so impressed!"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said: "I'm just providing an idea. In the final analysis, it's just an idea on paper. How to do it depends on the left door!"

Yes, even though Zhang Zhiwei said it in detail, all of this is still just a preliminary idea. To turn it into reality, it will take thousands of explorations and attempts.

And it's not that he can't do it, he just doesn't want to spend a lot of time on it.

Because he has always had a vague feeling that as long as his cultivation reaches a certain level, he can learn many things by himself without a teacher.

Just like Feng Baobao, her physique is very similar to that of the Liuku Immortal Thief, but it is passive and an instinct of the body, while the Liuku Immortal Thief needs to take the initiative.

Of course, if you are exposed to these things in advance, you may be able to gain some enlightenment and speed up the process, so Zhang Zhiwei is also very interested in these.

But it's only out of interest, and I won't delay my own practice for these little things.

But Zuo Ruotong is different. If he tells Zuo Ruotong now, don't think about having so much, and just cultivate your life honestly...

So how is this different from letting him die? He practiced silently. After all, he didn't have much time. The top priority was to stay alive first and then seek enlightenment.

Zhang Zhiwei is not a pedantic person. Although he pursues the Tao, he has never abandoned the art, but he has always distinguished the priorities.

"As for the question of whether it can reach the sky, I will give a clear answer here, that is, it cannot reach the sky."

Zhang Zhiwei continued: "Although this method can steal the essence of the world and supplement oneself, there is a saying that the height of the fountain cannot exceed its source, and the strength of a stranger cannot exceed the foundation of his life!"

"No matter how much you absorb and consume, it still depends on your life and cultivation. It is like a pool. No matter how big the water flow at the entrance is, if it is not big enough and cannot hold much, it is meaningless!"

"Moreover, being overly obsessed with this way is harmful. You must remember that it is just an auxiliary on the road to heaven. It is equivalent to adding some fault tolerance. The important thing is the cultivation of life, which is the foundation."

"After all, people who practice Taoism have different qualifications. Some people walk fast, and some people walk slowly. Those who walk fast may take decades, and those who walk slowly may take hundreds of years, or even It will take hundreds of years.”

"But time is not forgiving, and heaven and earth will not give you this time to leave, so be obedient to ordinary people, and to be immortal if you go against it; in this case, you have to act against nature, steal from heaven, and fight for that ray of opportunity !”

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zuo Ruotong: "Chief Zuo, do you understand what I mean?"

Zuo Ruotong nodded: "I understand. In the previous practice of counter-life cultivation, I didn't distinguish the priorities. The practice of skills was far greater than the Tao, which led to the current results. Every time you take a step, you will gain wisdom, and you will definitely use it in the future. As a warning, even after today, I plan to reorganize the practice atmosphere of Trinity School. I was too impatient before, and I plan to slow it down and bring it to the right track step by step!"

"If you slow down, I'm afraid your status in the world will be reduced!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"What's wrong with being lowered? It's just a false reputation!" Zuo Ruotong waved his hand and said: "The Trinity Sect doesn't participate in any disputes anyway, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"Actually, I think it's better to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Those who want to seek the Tao seek the Tao, and those who wish to seek the art seek the art!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Of course, these Zuomen chiefs can make their own decisions!"

Zuo Ruotong was stunned for a moment. He just used himself to save others, but if he thought about it carefully, not all of the Trinity Sect were seekers. There were also people who just wanted to learn a powerful craft.

Regarding their path, even if I am the master, I cannot impose my will on others.

"Thank you, little friend Zhiwei, for reminding me!" Zuo Ruotong said: "By the way, little friend Zhiwei just said that being overly obsessed with this way is harmful, but I understand better!"

"What's the explanation?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zuo Ruotong said: "It is still a good thing left by our ancestors. "Zhuangzi: Pirates of Tuo" has a saying: 'Small thieves will be detained, and big thieves will be princes'."

"There is a good explanation for this in "Liezi Tianrui". It uses a story to tell a truth: There was a rich businessman in Qi State and a poor man. One day, the poor man asked the rich businessman how to get rich, and the rich businessman told him The secret is to be a 'good thief', and as a result, the poor go back and steal other people's things, so they are punished."

"Later, the poor man found the rich businessman and said that the rich businessman was cheating people and that his method was wrong at all. But the rich businessman told him that this was not what he meant by stealing, but that he stole the right time and place. He took advantage of the right time and place to plant crops, build houses, hunt animals, Fishing for turtles, how to make a fortune!"

"The poor man was confused and thought the rich businessman was cheating him, so he asked his husband. He told him, what part of your body was not stolen?"

"Stealing the two qi of yin and yang to form a life form is stealing the sky."

"Stealing other people's money is stealing!"

“And the behavior of wealthy merchants is to steal everything!”

"These three types correspond exactly to the three thieves and the three talents."

"To distinguish between the three thieves and the three talents, public and private, one must have the virtues of heaven and earth. But in front of people with the virtues of heaven and earth, it actually makes no difference whether they steal or not!"

"It can be seen from this that Liezi's so-called stealing of heaven, that is, sage stealing, can be divided into three realms!"

"The first one is a thief. He has 'stealing' but no 'dao'. He will suffer harm and will not end well!"

"The second realm is a wealthy businessman, who has 'robbery' and 'dao'. He can achieve good results by relying on his 'stealing'!"

"The third realm is the gentleman. He is a person with the virtues of heaven and earth, that is, a saint. What he calls "stealing" and "not stealing" is actually stealing from heaven without causing harm."

Zuo Ruotong's words stunned Zhang Zhiwei. Don't these three types correspond to Ruan Feng, Barron, and Feng Baobao?

Ruan Feng is a thief but not a robber. He is a thief and robber through and through. He has been devoured by humans and ghosts.

Barron has "stealing" and "Tao", he is a rich man, and he knows what should be "stealed" and what should not be "stealed".

Feng Baobao is a saint with the virtues of heaven and earth. She can steal from heaven without suffering any consequences. It doesn’t matter whether she steals or not. Of course, she is a saint with problems!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He quickly stood up and went to the bookshelf on the stone wall. He took out the "Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Sutra" collected by Zuo Ruotong and flipped through a page. Point to one of the sections and show it to Zuo Ruotong.

Zuo Ruotong looked over and saw that it read - the sun and the moon are numbered, the size is determined, the sacred power is born, the god is revealed, the secret is stolen, no one in the world can see it, no one can know it, a gentleman has a solid bow, The villain gets a light life!

Zhang Zhiwei laughed and said: "What is written in the Yin Fu Jing is so similar to what was written by Na Liezi!"

Zuo Ruotong also laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's very true. The principles in the world are all the same. They all say there is a technique and a way. Now I have not mastered the technique, but with the help of little friend Zhiwei, I first Once you understand the Tao, won’t the rest of your journey of seeking the art be smooth sailing without any ups and downs? It’s just a matter of time and effort!”

"Why did Zuo Menzhang say this? Talking about Tao, talking about Tao, no matter where you come from, it's not talking about Tao. Moreover, I have benefited a lot!" Zhang Zhiwei also laughed.

"That's right, by the way, little friend Zhiwei, look at this paragraph in the "Yin Fu Jing", 'The root of death for the living, the root of life for the dead'. This time I took the risk to break through. Although I didn't reach the sky, I did I have gained a lot, and it has broken down some principles of life and death, let me tell you about it!"

Zuo Ruotong lost his previous serious image, put his hand on Zhang Zhiwei's shoulder, and laughed.

"The living is the root of death, and the dead are the root of life." These are the words left by Zuo Ruotong when he saw through life and death in the plot and chose to sit down. He should have had a lot of insights at the time, but he just ran out of time.

…………

…………

Zhang Zhiwei and Zuo Ruotong discussed Taoism all night.

From the beginning of Zhang Zhiwei's speech and Zuo Ruotong's listening, to the subsequent discussion between the two parties, there was constant laughter.

Lu Jin, who was meditating in the quiet room next door and consolidating his cultivation, felt like a cat was scratching his head when he heard the laughter, but he didn't dare to interrupt rashly.

The discussion continued until the next morning.

Then, Lu Jin saw Zhang Zhiwei and Zuo Ruotong walking out laughing.

Amidst the laughter, a white light glowed vaguely between the two people's eyebrows, as if a lotus flower was blooming.

Lu Jin stared blankly at the two people who were walking with their heads held high, free and uninhibited. Infected by the energy, he also started laughing inexplicably.

I remembered a poem inexplicably in my mind, and I laughed up to the sky and went out. How can I be a Penghao person?
