Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 8 Samadhi True Fire
After completing the two states of "perfect spirit and sufficient energy" and "all meridians gathered and connected" in the Qi refining stage of Dandao, if you continue to practice, you will enter the "river cart starts" stage of foundation building.

The Taoist Heche also refers to the circulation of true Qi in the body, but it is not the ordinary innate true Qi or acquired true Qi, but the true Yin in Qi, the true Yang in liquid, the innate pure Yang Qi, etc. Only when these true Qi begin to run can it be called "the Heche starts", as if there is a car carrying these precious and rare treasures through the meridians.

According to the different properties of true qi, it is divided into small river cart, big river cart, purple river cart [supplement], thunder river cart and many other types.

The most basic Xiao He Che refers to the human body's kidney qi being activated at midnight, reaching the liver at dawn, with kidney water generating liver wood, which is the mother and child of qi; the heart fluid descending at noon, reaching the lungs at dusk, with heart fire overcoming lung metal, which is the husband and wife of fluid.

The five elements circulate over and over again, and every living person is born to operate this way.

To start practicing Taoism, one needs to gather the five elements and use them in reverse order.

According to the "Lingbao Five Talismans Sutra", the five northern Qi are generated from the kidneys and form the Lingbao Xuanming Talisman; the nine eastern Qi are generated from the liver and form the Lingbao Qingyang Talisman; the three southern Qi are generated from the heart and form the Lingbao Huoting Talisman; the seven western Qi are generated from the lungs and form the Lingbao Ruiguang Talisman; the one central Qi is generated from the spleen and form the Lingbao Huafeng Talisman.

These five talismans are extremely complex, each with more than 36,000 strokes.

If Mingyi Zhenren had not directly imprinted the talisman in Yang Qisheng's mind, allowing him to "understand it" and remember it instantly, in order to draw it in reality, he would probably have to use paper as big as a wall.

Yang Qisheng sat cross-legged on the couch, concentrating his mind, moving and gathering his energy, and visualizing it taking shape.

Mobilize the vital energy accumulated over the past fifteen years, it enters the kidneys at midnight and produces black qi; it enters the liver at dawn and produces green qi; it enters the heart at noon and produces red qi; it enters the lungs at dusk and produces white qi; it enters the spleen at the four hours of Chou, Chen, Wei, and Xu and produces yellow qi.

The five Qi condense into five talismans, giving birth to the five elements seeds and the golden elixir. As the river cart circulates through the five internal organs, the five talismans constantly change according to the relationship of generation and restraint, and the order and reverse.

After seventy-two cycles and seventy-two levels of refinement, the five talismans were completely condensed and combined into a golden talisman of the mysterious spiritual treasure that shone with golden light. It was stored in the heart and hidden in the Crimson Palace.

From this moment on, Yang Qisheng could use the five magical talismans to mobilize the true energy in his body and cast various spells. He was officially transformed from an ordinary person into a saint and opened the door to the immortal path!
He mobilized his vital energy through the golden talisman in his chest, used telekinesis, raised his hand and grabbed, and the teacup, brush, sword and other objects that his mind had locked on all flew into his hand automatically in response to his thoughts.

He then split the Lingbao Golden Talisman into five talismans, forming a Fire Court Talisman. He drew red Qi from his heart and turned it into flames, which was the heart fire. He drew black Qi from his kidneys and turned it into flames, which was the kidney fire.

These two are respectively the monarch fire and the minister fire. Then the essence and energy are mobilized from the dantian below the navel to be transformed into the people fire. The three are combined into one to form the Samadhi True Fire!
A bean-sized flame emerged from each fingertip of his left hand. It was invisible and could not be seen with the naked eye. The heat was also completely contained, and even if you got close, you could not feel the burning sensation.

However, he flicked his finger and a flame of fire fell on the iron torch and the broken sword, immediately melting a piece of it into molten iron!
The Samadhi True Fire is very difficult to be cultivated by practitioners of unconventional sects. If one practices the "Eight Yang Divine Mantras of Heaven and Earth", one must wait until a cauldron is set up in the brain to refine the罡 before it can be cultivated.

By practicing the "Lingbao Five Talismans Sutra", it can be activated during the foundation-building period. After setting up the furnace to refine the evil and the tripod to refine the罡 in the future, the evil fire and the罡 fire will be attached to the outside of the flame, and the power will be far beyond the comparison of any unconventional skills.

The authentic Xuanmen is indeed extraordinary!
Yang Qisheng has just started to turn the small river wheel and is in the early stage of foundation building. The Samadhi True Fire is still very weak, but according to Mingyi Zhenren, this Samadhi True Fire has a huge inhibitory effect on demons and evil spirits. Even a small amount the size of a bean can make the red-clothed ghost flee and the century-old demon retreat.

He found joy in his practice, and apart from the necessary vigil and sacrificial ceremonies, he practiced alone in the courtyard every day.

Given the Yang family's status in the martial arts world, a funeral should have lasted for 49 days to be considered respectful.

But Yang Qisheng was still thinking about going to Wutou Mountain to find his master, so he took advantage of the break in the wake to discuss with Yang Qisheng: "Now that our family has suffered such a great disaster, and our parents are both gone, I will also have to travel far away in a while. Those who come to pay their respects may not have good intentions. Nine out of ten are here to spy on us. The longer the funeral is delayed, the more likely it is that complications will arise."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qisheng frowned, his fingers unconsciously stroking the mourning belt around his waist: "Third brother, you are right."

The two brothers have discussed and decided to hold the funeral after the seventh day.

Unexpectedly, on the night of the sixth day, something strange happened outside the mourning hall.

The once silent long street suddenly erupted in a howling gale. Dark clouds rolled in, swirling like ink. Dozens of black evil spirits as thick as pythons swam from all directions, swooping down on the altar in front of the coffin. Besides the incense, candles, and offerings, the most eye-catching item on the altar was the large wooden basin containing the remains of Jin Guang Ding.

This demon had been dismembered for many days, and his flesh and blood had not rotted, but the blood had solidified and turned dark red. The black evil energy penetrated into the body parts like a living thing, causing the solidified blood scabs to break and the shriveled muscles to swell up again.

The heart began to beat, the lungs opened and closed, the kidneys leaked fluid...

The head of Jin Guang Ding suddenly opened its eyes, which were wide open. Spider-web-like dark golden bloodshot appeared in the gray-white pupils. Its mouth opened and closed as if it was swallowing and exhaling vital energy, and it slowly flew up from the basin!

His broken arms and legs, broken bones and flesh all flew up on their own and reassembled themselves.

As the bones twisted, there was a series of "crackling" sounds, and a body covered in blood quickly took shape.

Although the flesh was atrophied, the tendons shrank, the joints were dislocated, and many parts did not fit together, the torso was upright, the limbs were intact, and it stood in a basin of blood. The dark golden evil spirit wandered between the skin and flesh, which was very terrifying!

"He's resurrected!" someone shouted in horror.

Although all those who were guarding the body were brave and hardworking, they were still frightened when they saw this.

Yang Huayin, the eldest sister of the Yang family, was burning paper and was the closest to the scene. She immediately picked up a bench next to her and smashed it.

Bang! The chair smashed into the corpse demon, enveloped in a dark golden evil spirit. As it surged, it instantly shattered into tiny pieces, turning into fine sawdust.

Yang Huayin turned back to retrieve the sword and shouted, "What a demon! You harmed my family while you were alive, and now you're still causing trouble after you die!"

He rushed forward, exerted force on his wrist, and with a buzzing sound, the green sword pierced the corpse demon's chest.

When Jin Guang Ding's sternum was split into two halves when it was previously separated, and then opened to the left and right, it has now reunited, with the recovered heart and lungs stuffed inside randomly, and a large number of blood vessels exposed outside.

Yang Huayin's internal strength was so strong that he thrust the sword straight into his chest and into his lung.

The corpse demon's heart was beating violently, his lungs were opening and closing, expanding and contracting, and streams of dark golden evil energy were pouring out of his alveoli, wrapping around the Qingfeng sword.

Yang Huayin's palms were burning hot, and the fine steel sword blade was melting into molten iron at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Her heart trembled, and before she could pull away, the corpse demon suddenly grinned strangely and spewed out a golden and black evil aura with a fishy smell!

She hurriedly bent down and leaned back, like a willow in the wind, and narrowly avoided the evil spirit. The white flag behind her was swept by the evil spirit and instantly became charred and curled up.

Although she dodged in time, she still smelled a strong fishy odor in her nose. Her vision suddenly went black, her limbs stiffened, and she fell straight to the ground!

"Huayin!" Her husband Gu Changfeng was also a famous young swordsman in the martial arts world. He rushed forward like lightning and carried her away.

"Collection of the Teachings of Zhong and Lü":
Lü said, "When the five elements are reversed and the dragon and tiger intersect, the small river cart will already be moving. When the three fields return and golden crystals fly from behind the elbows, the large river cart will be moving. But when will the purple river cart be able to move?"

Zhong said, "Those who cultivate the Tao, having heard of the Great Dao and met a wise master, will understand the principles of the rise and fall of heaven and earth, and the numbers of the sun and moon. First, they must match yin and yang, then gather and disperse water and fire. Then, they must gather herbs and add fire, adding mercury and extracting lead. Then, the Small River Wheel will begin to move. As golden crystals fly from behind the elbows and enter the crown of the head, the Great Elixir of the Huangting Temple will gradually form. With one strike, it will reach the three barriers and transcend directly into the inner courtyard. It will rise from the back and fall in front, replenishing the upper and refining the lower. Then, the Great River Wheel will begin to move. Then, after refining the Golden Liquid and Jade Liquid into the Elixir, one must refine the form. After refining the form, one must refine the Qi. After refining the Qi, one must refine the spirit. Only when the spirit is refined and merged with the Dao can it be said to have achieved the Dao. It is called the Purple River Wheel, which allows one to transcend the mortal world and enter the immortal realm."
