He sits at noon from morning, adjusts his breath, rubs his eyes, rubs his body, and gets up when he is comfortable. He is never angry, and the door is always open. Sometimes when you are sick or tired, you are lucky, so that the internal qi turns from the beginning to the internal organs and finally reaches the hair of the limbs. Air flows in the body like a cloud, which can not only drive away fatigue but also cure diseases. He seldom goes out, and even when he goes out, he is alone, rarely riding by car or horse.
By the end of Shang Dynasty, Peng Zu had lived for 767 years, but he still looked very young. Yin heard about Peng Zu's reputation and sent messengers to ask Peng Zu the secret of longevity, but Peng Zu refused to answer.
Yin found a successful female picker. Girls-picking teenagers are proficient in cultivation. When he was recruited into the government, he was 270 years old, but he still looked as young as 28 years old. Zhou Wang invited talented women into the palace, built a magnificent palace for her, and gave her many treasures. On one occasion, Zhou Wang asked talented women to visit Peng Zu in a luxurious carriage and asked Peng Zu for the secret of spiritual practice and the method of prolonging life.
Seeing that the vegetable girl is also a monk, Zhang Zu told the vegetable girl his way of keeping in good health: if you want to ascend to heaven to be an immortal, you must always take the elixir. Many immortals ascended to heaven because they ate the elixir, but this is the highest Taoism, and kings on earth can't practice it.
The second method is to recharge your batteries and take herbs to live forever. But don't engage in exorcism and witchcraft with flying wind. Then Peng Zu told the vegetable girl about her experience of becoming a monk: "I am a posthumous child, and my mother died when I was three years old. During the rebellion, I fled to the western regions and lived there for 100 years. I was helpless since I was a teenager, and later I lost 49 wives and 54 sons. These worries drained my energy. My skin is dull, no matter how hot or cold, my nutrition is not good. My body is as thin as dead wood, and I'm afraid my days are numbered. Besides, there are really no secrets to teach. It's said that Mr. Jing Qing of Dawan Mountain is 1000 years old and still looks like a young man. He can walk 500 miles a day, eat nothing for several years and eat nine meals a day. You might as well ask his opinion. "
The woman picker asked again, "What kind of immortal is Mr. Jing Qing?"
Peng Zu said, "He is an enlightened man, not a fairy. Immortals can jump into the clouds, fly without wings, ride the clouds to the sky, or turn into birds that stay on the Qingyun, swim in the rivers and seas and soar above famous mountains and rivers. Or eat the vitality of heaven and earth, or eat the fairy medicine Ganoderma lucidum, or go in and out of the world without ordinary people seeing it. They are gods, or they hide their bodies from sight. Some people have extraordinary bones on their faces and strange hairs on their bodies. They live alone and don't associate with mortals. Although immortals can live forever, they have completely lost their authenticity. "
As for the enlightened, Peng Zu explained: "The enlightened is not. They are physically strong, smooth in appearance, old and immortal, and practice Taoism in the world. They should eat delicious food, wear soft and gorgeous clothes, and understand the truth that Yin and Yang are interlinked and mutually reinforcing, even if they are officials.
A monk should have healthy bones, a very shiny complexion and skin. Although he is old, he will become more knowledgeable as he grows older. Time is on earth, cold, heat and rheumatism can't hurt, ghosts and gods dare not invade, weapons and poisonous insects can't get close, and other people's comments don't care. These are the most precious. "
Later, Peng Zu explained the secret of his longevity: "Life has always absorbed the aura of heaven and earth. Even if you don't know the magic of monasticism, you can live to 120 years old as long as you maintain it properly, and you can live to 240 years old if you know a little Taoism. If you know more, you can live to 480 years old; If you are proficient in health preservation, you can live a long life.
The two most fundamental points of prolonging life are: not hurting the body and mind, adapting to the climate change of the four seasons, and being hot in Leng Xia in winter, making the body comfortable forever; Enough is enough for women and entertainment, don't be tempted by various desires, and let your heart be quiet and pure; Clothing for horses and chariots can be solemn and contented. Don't be insatiable, you can make your ambition single-minded; Playing eight tones with five colors, hearing, sight and joy can calm the mind. These are all ways to keep fit. Listening to too many concerts makes people deaf, while eating too much delicious food will ruin their appetite. If everything is ready, correctly handling the relationship between unblocked and blocked can not only prolong life, but also gain full vigor. "
Finally, Peng Zu summed up several factors that are not conducive to health preservation: "These things are the same as the use of fire and water. If you use them too much, you will inevitably get hurt. People often don't understand that if meridians are damaged, qi and blood are insufficient, the internal organs are weak, the marrow and brain are not solid, and the body is bound to get sick. The disease is only caused by trauma, such as weather change or excessive alcohol consumption. It is not that people themselves will get sick. "
The vegetable girl nodded. Peng Zu continued: "There are many things that hurt people. Excessive brain damage, anxiety and sadness, anger with joy, stagnation, active pursuit, imbalance between Yin and Yang ... Avoid all kinds of harmful things and follow the path of Yin and Yang, and people can live forever. My master has written all the classics of the Nine Classics, with more than 13,000 words, all of which are the secrets of health and longevity, specially for beginners, and I will pass them on to you today.
Picking women back to the palace, Peng Zu's words and "Nine Capital Classics" were repeated to the king. After Zhou Wang followed suit, it really worked. But he was afraid that others would master the secret of longevity, so he ordered that Peng Zu's Taoism should not be taught in China, and offenders would be beheaded. He tried to kill Peng Zu. Peng Zu foresaw Zhou Wang's evil intentions in advance, left Beijing and disappeared in Beijing. More than one hundred years later, I heard that someone had seen Peng Zu in quicksand country. Zhou Wang can't always stick to Peng Zu's Taoism, but he is 300 years old and as strong as 50 years old. Later, because she got a enchanting woman-Zheng, this woman was arrogant and extravagant, and finally lost her way and died. According to folklore, anyone who spreads Taoism in Peng Zu will be put to death. ? Refers to the Yin seal king banned Peng Zu Taoism.
