Chapter 183 Desire Gathering 3 Sexual Knot Holy Infant
Courtyard No. 18, Jia District
Back inside, Chen Chunan was surrounded by a group of friends.
No one spoke; the shock in their eyes was impossible to hide.
Ultimately, it was the red thread that started things first.
"Brother, have you broken through again? How come you're so amazing now?"
All eyes were focused on Chen Chunan.
They were also very curious: how could Chen Chunan's strength have changed so dramatically in less than a day?
Even if you ate elixirs, you couldn't improve this quickly, right?
Even elixirs need time to be refined!
Chen Chunan looked at everyone, unsure of where to begin.
It can only be said that fate is indeed wondrous. If I hadn't met the Heavenly Fox, I wouldn't have had so many troubles. But without meeting the Heavenly Fox, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to suppress my anger, subdue the Unstable Soil, and achieve the seventh level of the Elixir of Immortality.
Every drink and every bite is truly ordained by fate.
"This is a long story..."
...
After much persuasion, Chen Chunan finally managed to send Chi Mianxi Daoist and the others away.
After regaining his peace, Chen Chunan sat cross-legged again, calming his mind and contemplating the convergence of the three natures.
After subduing the Yellow Wind Monster in Journey to the West, the next challenge is the Flowing Sand River.
The real soil is hidden within the fake soil; once the fake soil is removed, the real soil will naturally appear.
This step of mine is precisely the time to reclaim my true nature, so that the three families can meet, the five elements of the primordial world can gather together, and the infant can form the perfect Tai Chi.
At this stage, with a solid foundation, the main basis has been established.
The original meaning is: When the foundation is established, the Way will arise. If one continues to work hard, guards against dangers and risks, and is cautious and fearful, one must cultivate this "foundation" into a permanent and indestructible foundation so as not to suffer the danger of gaining and then losing it again.
But this step is a false proposition in itself.
Chen Chunan interprets this book as the Mind Monkey, which represents true feelings, the true Yang that cultivates the essence of pure Yang, the Daoist heart that is indestructible through countless eons, and also the "One" mentioned in the Dao De Jing.
To integrate the three natures is to solidify the mind of the Way.
But after regaining his true nature in the Flowing Sand River during Journey to the West, did the Monkey King lose it again?
Yes, it happened once in chapters 27 and 56.
Chapter 56 takes place after the conception of the sacred fetus.
This foundation-strengthening and elixir-making can be done simultaneously; there is no need to actually cultivate one's nature before refining the elixir.
The Mind Monkey, born as one with Chen Chunan, reacted strangely upon sensing the thoughts of its master.
"It's true that after conceiving the sacred embryo, one might lose their true yang due to mental tribulations. But if you think you don't need to strengthen your foundation, then your ascension is completely hopeless. However, it's not a big problem. The real tribulations begin when you transform the elixir into the great elixir. Just don't let the Corpse Demon Tribulation bring you down!"
Unaware of the thoughts of his restless mind, Chen Chunan calmed his mind and aroused his true nature.
He wanted to seize the opportunity to obtain the true soil in one go, so that the elixir could be perfected, and at the same time begin to conceive the sacred embryo.
He is now very eager to figure out what exactly the "mind-monkey" is.
However, the most urgent task is to subdue Sha Wujing, but how was Sha Wujing subdued?
It seems that Guanyin sent Moksha to summon Wujing, rather than having him subdued through beating.
Chen Chunan embraced the divine and guarded the One, recalling once again the Journey to the West and the two books of the original intent.
"Bajie couldn't get rid of it because he sought purity through precepts, but instead became impure. To seek purity, he needed to go to the South Sea to seek Guanyin? Guanyin, Guanzizai, seems to have some connection in that."
"Mucha took the red gourd and shouted 'Wujing!' by the water, and the monster came up."
"In other words, the red gourd and Wujing are the key. The red gourd, the character 'gui', the structure of the character 'gui' seems to resemble a gourd? Gui represents the earth elements 'wu' and 'ji', with 'wu' representing moving earth and 'ji' representing still earth."
"But how did Wujing come to be? It seems to be about refining oneself and building a foundation, maintaining perfect harmony between movement and stillness, like the concept of 'Wuji Zhenren'?"
The Monkey King, observing the Buddha's enlightenment, couldn't help but remind him: "Sha Wujing's intention is to remain steadfast. Intention, if it runs wild, will be harmful, so one must guard purity and maintain consistency. The original text just says that he appeared upon hearing of the pilgrims. If your will is firm, your intention will naturally be contained."
"Is it because my willpower wasn't strong enough that I couldn't conquer Italy?"
Upon hearing Xin Yuan's reminder, Chen Chunan was immediately filled with confusion.
The Mind Monkey scoffed, "If you were truly resolute, you wouldn't have been consumed by anger in the Heavenly Fox Dream World. You're just too indecisive. Let's reunite our two minds, replacing our human hearts with the Dao's heart, transcending emptiness and entering wondrous existence. The Great Dao is right before us; how could you still waver?"
Chen Chunan knew that Xin Yuan was right, but he still felt uneasy if he didn't keep a trump card up his sleeve.
So he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, ignore his restless mind, and figure it out on his own.
"The nine skulls and the gourd together were used to make a magic boat to carry the master and his disciples across the river."
"What does 'Dharma boat' mean? Buddhism uses the physical body and the Dharma as a Dharma boat, but they only cultivate their nature, so there is a saying that they don't need a boat to reach the shore."
"Nine skulls, corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, so the central Yellow Palace is a gourd representing the earth element."
The Nine Palaces are a combination of the He and Luo Rivers.
The four disciples combined the Hetu diagram, which represents the creation of water by Heaven and the completion of water by Earth.
Earth gives birth to fire, and Heaven completes it.
Heaven gives birth to wood in three parts, and earth completes it in eight parts.
Earthly element four produces metal, Heavenly element nine completes it.
Heaven generates earth from the five elements, and earth completes it from the ten elements.
When water and fire are in harmony, and metal and wood are combined, it becomes the elixir of immortality. If one obtains earth elements (戊己土), it becomes the golden elixir.
The Luoshu diagram has nine at the top and one at the bottom, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, and six and eight on the feet, which perfectly matches the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram.
From this point on, the Eight Trigrams, Five Elements, and Four Symbols are all contained within; is this the path to achieving the Golden Elixir?
Although Chen Chunan knew a lot about theory, he was still clueless about how to understand Jing. The theory of self-cultivation and foundation building, and distinguishing right from wrong, sounded simple, but how to do it was something that no one could point out and he could only figure out on his own.
Just as Chen Chunan was deep in thought.
A sudden knocking sound rang out: "Knock, knock, knock~"
"Master, are you there?"
Outside the door, Xiao Yuxian cautiously raised his hand.
He rushed back, but everyone had already left, and he couldn't find anyone to ask, so he had to knock on the door first.
Chen Chunan, who was focused on comprehending the Dao, was suddenly interrupted and felt very displeased.
"I'm not here!"
Xiao Yuxian froze when he heard his master's displeased voice coming from inside the room.
He glanced at Ling Xuzi, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and mustered his courage to speak again, "Master, if there's nothing else, I wouldn't dare disturb you. It's Brother Ling Xuzi who has come to visit, what do you think?"
Lingxuzi?
Ling Xuzi had helped me when I was captured at Chimianxi, and I was grateful for his help in coming to this Ten Thousand Immortal Treasures Gathering.
It would be extremely impolite not to see him.
Chen Chunan composed himself, stood up, and opened the door to welcome the guests.
"It is Fellow Daoist Lingxuzi in person. I did not know it was you who came to visit. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing Chen Chunan apologize first, Ling Xuzi was immediately filled with fear and said, "I dare not, I dare not, I am unworthy of being addressed as a senior fellow Daoist, it was I who was presumptuous."
Chen Chunan is now a figure comparable to someone who has transcended tribulation. He may be humble, but he cannot take it seriously.
In the cultivation world, the idea that one's status is determined by strength is not just a saying.
Chen Chunan didn't care about hierarchy, nor did he notice Ling Xuzi's ulterior motives.
He simply invited him to sit down.
After the three of them sat down, Xiao Yuxian, being very perceptive, brewed a pot of tea and poured tea and water for the two of them.
After brewing a cup of tea, Chen Chunan looked at Ling Xuzi and asked, "Did you call me here for something?"
Upon hearing Chen Chunan's question, Ling Xuzi quickly put down his teacup: "This junior does indeed have a request. I am currently on the verge of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from breaking through. Today, seeing your astonishing Daoist techniques, I have come to seek your guidance. If you are willing to offer some pointers, I believe they would be of immeasurable benefit to me."
