Chapter 9: The Book of the Three Purities
The so-called 'Three Qing', that is, Yu Qing, Shang Qing, Tai Qing, is the highest of the Taoist heavenly realm, also refers to the three gods residing in the Three Qing Immortal Realm, that is, Yu Qing Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Shang Qing Ling Bao Tian Zun, Tai Qing Daode Tian Zun.
These three immortals I believe that we are already very clear, right, to put it simply, "Three Qing book" legend is that the three immortals on the Tao of the Taoist secrets left on earth, respectively, recorded the three immortals are good at a variety of Xuanmen art. In total, it is divided into three volumes, i.e., "The Three Ching Book of Charms", "The Three Ching Book of Charms", and "The Three Ching Book of Divination".
Due to the long period of time, the whereabouts of these three strange books have long been unknown. Mr. Liu, who helped my grandparents as mentioned earlier, got the "Three Qing Divination" from his ancestor in the snake cave in the early years, which contains the subtle art of divination and calculation, and if people practice it, they can know the fate of the heavens. Mr. Liu's talent was so high that he was able to add the trigrams in the divination to the incantations he learned and then wrote a new incantation, 'Shan Tian Da Livestock Opening Formation Transformation Incantation'. Unfortunately, I heard that Mr. Liu's son's generation seems to have some changes in the family, the Liu family to this generation, no longer help people read the fortune.
The so-called mountain sky big animal is one of the trigrams, the big animal, the gathering of the animal is also, so there is a position to open the image. The position of the person, according to legend, is the Yin Shang period Guangchengzi broken ten absolute array of lamps and fire array was surrounded, the urgent will Pan Tianyin sacrificed, playing bad ten absolute array, break open the array, this is the origin of this hexagram. This is the origin of this hexagram. The person who occupies this hexagram has no more signs of obstruction.
And Uncle Nine taught me the "Three Qing Charms" within the record is contained within the art of the talisman left by Ling Bao Tian Zun, talisman belongs to as a mountain, medicine, divination, fate, the five arts of the fundamental, is the cultivator and the heaven (spirit world) dialogue medium and channel. And if used properly, it would be strangely powerful, and could even change the flow of the underground water veins, just like what Ninth Uncle did in his lifetime. However, the more powerful the spell, the higher the relative cost, as the saying goes, the way of heaven is not humanly possible, in other words, I can understand: there is no free lunch in the world.
The rest of the "Three Qing Qimen Book", which records the ancient period of many lost Qimen Dunjia art, only gifted and intelligent people can learn, this art is the most magical, it is said to learn after the completion of the great, can be tied paper for the horse, sprinkle beans into soldiers. It is said that after learning the art, you can make a horse out of paper, make soldiers out of beans, and do everything in the world.
This Qi Men Dun Jia I heard in high school, the central ten once also aired a program. Complex to complex things, through the "odd", "door", "recluse" this three in the opportunity to shift the combination to produce magical phenomena, I heard that can also be foretold.
Unfortunately, this record of the art of recluse "Three Qing Qi Men" has been nearly lost for a long time, it is said that Zhuge Wolong was proficient in the art of qimen, his array is not subtle, and it is said that the old Mr. Zhuge also made a bunch of wooden oxen and horses for their own use. But this is because the age is too far away, there is no way to verify.
Two days later, nine uncle see the time has come, now is the earth's ugly time. At this time the yin qi is the most flourishing, it is time for me to dream for my family, so he let me sit on the stool, after telling me exactly what he wanted my family to do. After telling me exactly what he wanted my family to do, he formed his right hand into a sword finger and pointed it at my Divine Court. I was told to close my eyes and chant three times in my mind the name of my loved one, whoever it was, and as long as that person was asleep I would be able to enter into his dream.
I closed my eyes apprehensively, at this moment I most want to dream to whom I have a rough idea in my heart, I silently recited: grandma, grandma, grandma.
Darkness in front of me, blurred as if there was light, I walked forward. As I walked, I saw my grandmother, lying on the bed, already asleep. Her hair seemed to have turned gray again. I don't know why, but I cried, the things I experienced in the past two days were just too bizarre, it simply brought me to the point where I couldn't bear it, after all, I was only seventeen years old at that time. The first reaction after seeing my loved ones was to cry, probably because I was too weak.
But I know that now is not the time to cry, because nine uncle told me, I dream time is only five minutes, five minutes later I will automatically return to the city of Yin. I wiped away my tears and gently pushed my grandma, grandma, wake up.
My grandmother opened her eyes and saw the old woman standing in front of her. The old lady actually cried, she got up and stroked my face and said to me, "Little Fei, when did you wake up?" Looking at my grandmother like this I couldn't help but cry again, but I held back. If I want to cry, I have to wait until I return to the sun.
I said softly to my grandmother, "Milk, I'm not awake now."
My grandmother busy asking that I'm what's going on, due to the time is too tight, I can not detail, I had to tell her, if you want me to wake up, if you want me to wake up, in tomorrow's noon, that is, eleven o'clock at noon to one o'clock in the afternoon between, in a yellow chicken body write my name and the eight characters of the birth date, and then a chicken claw with a length of ninety meters of the red rope tie, and then go to the nearest intersection of hospitals to let go of the chicken, and so the chicken ran out of the ninety meters, yell my name nine times and then quickly collect the rope, and then run back to the hospital with the chicken in my ward. I would wake up, and after I woke up, I would make a soup with ginseng, atractylodes, poria, and roasted licorice for me and I would recover.
My grandmother still wanted to ask me a lot of questions, but five minutes had passed, I felt a strange force to pull backward, I can only shed tears and shouted loudly to my grandmother, "Do not forget! Grandma!"
By the time I opened my eyes again, I was back in the nether city. I looked up at the gloomy sky, and those souls dressed in black around me walked in and out of the 'half-steps' with expressionless faces. It turns out that death is so terrible, because dying means giving up a lot, a lot of even though it is something that you find banal when you're alive, it's only after you die that you realize the preciousness of these banal things.
"For the first time in my life I realized that my loved ones were so important to me. I'm homesick." I said to Ninth Uncle, who nodded after hearing this and patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "It's not too late for you to realize it now, because you'll have a lot more time later."
In the following ten days I began to concentrate on studying the Book of Three Purities with Ninth Uncle, not for any other reason, what is it about cutting down demons, what is it about making the Book of Heaven available for inheritance, and what is it about maintaining world peace, those have nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in them either. What I am doing now is to repay Uncle Nine for saving my life. The true gift of saving my life.
But this "Book of the Three Purities" is so subtle, how can it be learned by a little kid like me in one go, so I had to memorize the whole book in my head, and then study it on my own through the tricks taught to me by Uncle Nine after I returned to the sun. You don't say, now this state of my speed of remembering things even I am afraid of myself, can't say it is unforgettable, but also did read a four or five times can remember, want to forget can't forget.
After only seven days, or fourteen hours in the yang world, I had memorized the entire three hundred and sixty-five pages of the Three Ching Charms. Such an achievement can not help but make me sigh life, if I still have this skill after returning to the sun, I will be developed, what Tsinghua Beida Daqing oil field or whatever university, I still do not want to go wherever you want to go? But Uncle Nine told me, now the memory is good because the reception of things directly be carved into a soul. You'll never forget it. But when your one soul and five spirits return to your body everything will return to normal. And also because of the soul away from the body and make the soul damaged, the future memory but also decline. I was so depressed.
Because I don't need to sleep, after I memorized the "Book of the Three Purities", Ninth Uncle directly taught me the introduction to Taoism. Ninth Uncle made me sit on a stool, and with his hands behind his back, he asked me with incomparable seriousness, "Little Fei, before I teach you the initiation of Taoism again, I have to ask you one more thing. Because people who learn Taoism are destined to have 'one of the five evils and three deficiencies', if you step into this path it will be fulfilled, and you will have regrets about certain things in the future. Have you really thought about it?"
Ask me if I want to think about it, how can I think about it? When I think of Mr. Liu, what kind of magical power in the end, but not the fate of the lack of life, died young. This time if the real return to the sun after I do not want to die early ah. But although I have a weak character, but I also have a stubborn temper. Since I was a child, my father has taught me that it is not a gentleman who does not embrace the grace of the world. Although I am not a gentleman, but nine uncle to me have recreated the grace, think of him here for so many years waiting for me. How can I even fulfill his last wish? Moreover, that what five evils and three defects, add together is eight kinds, shit, Laozi will not be so back, one-eighth of the chance of the fate of the lack of will let me catch up with it. Thinking of this, I firmly said to Uncle Nine:
"Master, I've thought it over. I'll learn."
