Just when Cao Liang was about to reprimand Ah Fu and ask him to retreat, he heard someone in the Taoist temple: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Qingfeng, don't be rude to guests." ”

Xiaodao Tong Qingfeng said with a face full of grievances: "Master, these people are so rude, the disciple has already said that you will not see the guests, master, and they still insist on breaking inside." ”

"Life is not happy, death is not sad, there is no action, there is no contention with the world, the breeze, the teacher has warned you many times, everything is natural, the guest comes, from nothing, come with the time, why bother to hinder it?"

Qingfeng didn't dare to argue, so he bowed respectfully and stepped aside.

Cao Liang noticed the old Taoist who was talking behind the door, with a childish face and a red face, presumably he was a Ziyun Daoist.

Cao Liang hurriedly bowed and said, "The last school Cao Liang pays a visit to the Purple Cloud Immortal. ”

Ziyun Daoist Gujing Wubo said: "Childe came from afar, it is very hard, but Ziyun is a person outside the world, and he can't help Childe, so Childe should please go back, so as not to delay the return journey." ”

Cao Liangqi didn't ask for anything at all, and the people of Ziyun Dao had already refused, that is, no matter what he asked, he would not agree.

"I haven't said anything below, could it be that the immortal chief already knows the intention of the next?"

Ziyun Dao people said lightly: "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, the poor road is a person outside the party, and he has long ignored the world, no matter what happens, he can't help the son, and please ask the son to avoid respect." ”

Cao Liang was still thinking about what words to use to impress the people of Ziyun Dao along the way, whether he was moved by reason or did what he liked, but he didn't expect that before he opened his mouth, he was rejected by the people of Ziyun Dao, and they ignored this stubble at all.

Cao Liang's heart moved, and said: "Ziyun Immortal is bad, he just admires the name of the Immortal Chief, so he came to visit, and he didn't ask for anything, the Immortal Immortal's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, can it be regarded as going with the flow?" ”

Ziyun Dao people glanced at Cao Liang in surprise, in the past few years, he has seen too many celebrities and scholars coming, not asking for pills, most of them spend a lot of money, and make bold moves, but Ziyun Dao people are obsessed with immortal arts, naturally they will not be tempted by yellow and white things, and over time, they will be disgusted with these visitors, so they did not wait for Cao Liang to make a request, and first refused, but he didn't expect that Cao Liang was not asking for pills, but it was a little unexpected for him.

"What do you mean by that son?"

Cao Liang said: "I have heard that the immortal chief is a pill master, and there are also some studies in the lower Dan Dao, and there are some unsolved points, I want to ask the immortal chief one or two." ”

Since he is a fellow Daoist, Ziyun Daoist's face has eased a lot, and he smiled slightly: "Since Gongzi is a fellow Daoist, what doubts do you have, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Ziyun Dao people are quite conceited in alchemy, he is called second in the world, and he will never dare to call him first, the so-called Wushisan and the like are just the leftovers he plays, Wushisan is at most to be dispelled and strengthened, and some aspects of the body function are increased, and it does not help to live forever and become immortals.

And what the people of Ziyun Dao are looking for is naturally the art of becoming an immortal that people have dreamed of for thousands of years, and Cao Liang asked about this question, which aroused his strong interest.

Cao Liang said: "The golden one is a thing that is strong and indestructible; Dan is a thing that is perfect and pure. Gu Immortal borrowed the name of Jin Dan to metaphorize the nature of the original true spirit. This sex is called Taiji in Confucianism, Yuanjue in Interpretation, and Jindan in Taoism. Although the name is divided into three, it is actually one thing. Confucianism is holy, Buddha is Buddha, and Taoism is immortal. The saints of the three religions all regard the original nature as the foundation of enlightenment. Fools don't know, or use hardware and eight stones to refine medicine into a golden pill, no; Truth is in the great furnace, refined and matured by fire, and it lasts as long as heaven and earth, and as bright as the sun and the moon.

Alchemy in ancient China has a long history, and emperors sought the art of immortality in order to be greedy for power.

But is there really a way to live forever by taking pills in this world? The answer is no, even if science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds, and the life expectancy of human beings has been greatly improved, there is still a distance of 108,000 miles from immortality, not to mention the ignorant ancient times.

Taoist alchemy has the so-called difference between the outer pill and the inner pill, and the pill refined by taking the gold and stone things such as lead tribute is the outer Dan sect.

The Waidan faction is obsessed with the study of elixirs, hoping to find a path of immortality.

But in essence, gold and stone are all minerals, and most of the gold and stone used by alchemists are highly poisonous, not only can they not find the way of immortality, but they cost Qingqing's life in vain.

Therefore, after the Tang and Song dynasties, the Outer Dan faction gradually declined, while the Inner Dan faction became popular.

The so-called Neidan sect is to use the human body as a furnace, and use the essence and qi in the body as medicine to smelt and condense with the gods to form a holy fetus, which can be reborn into immortals.

Whether the Neidan faction can become an immortal or not, Cao Liang doesn't care, what he cares about is that he can use this Zhong Lu doctrine to fool the people of Ziyun Dao in order to achieve his own goals.

Sure enough, the expression of the Ziyun Daoist changed greatly, and their attitude towards Cao Liang naturally changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and they immediately welcomed Cao Liang and others into the Taoist temple and treated them warmly.

Over the years, the people of Ziyun Dao have been studying alchemy in detail, although it is a slight success, but it is far from his own request, and he is still far from achieving immortality in the true sense.

Moreover, the alchemy of the people of the Purple Cloud Dao has reached a bottleneck, and if they want to advance and improve, they are already trying to reach the sky.

Cao Liang's words made the people of Ziyun Dao suddenly have a sense of enlightenment, and welcomed Cao Liang into the view, lowered his posture, and humbly sought advice.

At this time, Cao Liang naturally would not forget the purpose of his trip, and after a little sale, the Ziyun Daoist took out the formula of Wushisan that he had studied for many years, and promised to send his two Dao boys, Qingfeng Mingyue, down the mountain to help Cao Liang prepare Wushisan.

Cao Liang, who originally thought that this guild would take a lot of effort, didn't expect that it would take no effort to get it, and while he was in a good mood, he naturally told the people of Ziyun Dao about the cultivation methods of the Inner Dan that he knew in his previous life.

Fortunately, Cao Liang restrained himself, and only talked about the Taoist cultivation doctrines in the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and did not talk about the cultivation Dafa in those fantasy novels.

What's more, Cao Liang already felt that the Inner Dan Doctrine was not very reliable, let alone those fantasy cultivation systems, and it was a great sin for Cao Liang to really let the people of Ziyun Dao cultivate according to this.
