Chapter 50 The Legend of the Beauty Furnace

When Li Zixing came to the palace, Emperor Xianzong did not dare to make him kneel, but asked the maid to bring Jindun, asked him to sit down, and said, "God, I invite you here today, because I want to discuss alchemy with you." There is a problem with the material of the cauldron. Oh, Li Zisheng nodded: So Your Majesty, you want to take aphrodisiac... Emperor Xianzong clearly mentioned the cauldron for alchemy, but why did Li Zixing say that the emperor wanted to take aphrodisiacs? This question involves the most basic theoretical thought system of Taoism.It is said that Chinese Taoist alchemy is the most complicated and miraculous. There are three corpses and three pengs, inner alchemy and outer alchemy, maiden river car, samadhi real fire, Huachi divine water, holy fetus breathing, bigu medicine, eight difficulties and seven injuries... These technical terms are explained in thousands of classics.Our book is mainly to study Wang Shouren, not to teach everyone alchemy, so we only talk about one term:

Furnace tripod! Furnace?Isn't it just a small stove for alchemy? No, no, Taoism’s cauldron, according to the explanation in "The Seven Signs of Yunji": Mr. Qinggu often practiced the way of nine breaths to subdue Qi, and then he combined the furnace with the great pill, and obeyed it to achieve the Tao... I don’t understand, do you?It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, this is the basic theory of inner alchemists. This theory divides the furnace into four classes; The method of Jindan.The middle class uses heaven and earth as the cauldron, the upper class uses heaven and earth as the cauldron furnace, and the highest class above the first class uses the Taiji furnace.

To repeat, there are four grades of so-called cauldrons recorded by Taoism: the upper class is the Taiji furnace; the upper class is the heaven and earth as the furnace; the middle class is the universe as the furnace; Furnace tripod. Take a good look at these four categories. Are there any problems? Seems like one is missing?Since there are superior and superior, there should be inferior and inferior. Otherwise, this classification is unscientific, incomplete, incomplete, not rigorous, not systematic, not standardized, and not comprehensive... So, is there a inferior? What about next time?

There really are! Now Emperor Xianzong asked, that's it. Look at the emperor's level, don't ask whether he is superior or not, but insist on asking whether he is inferior or inferior.In fact, this inferior furnace has long been considered by researchers to be the specialty of the Maoshan School.Now we know that there is a school of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain in Taoism. This school was founded by Zhang Daoling, a civil servant in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who resigned and went to sea. Not allowed to touch. You created a sect but don't allow others to get involved, what will others do?

It can only be a self-created sect. In 252 A.D., which was the late period of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu died in this year. With the death of Sun Quan, a girl was born. This girl got married at the age of twenty-four, but in order to create a new She resolutely separated from her husband and founded the Maoshan School whose main business is catching monsters.From then on, she became the patriarch of Maoshan, known as Mrs. Wei Huacun in history. As we said earlier, the alien Bai Yuchan who once rejected Zhu Xi became the leader of the independence movement of the Maoshan sect after being rejected by the Zhang Tianshi sect of Longhushan.In history, since the establishment of the Maoshan School, its disciples have been unremittingly fighting against other Taoist factions, and one of the struggles is the Taoist house art.

Fangzhongshu is the lower and lower classification of the Taoist alchemy furnace.This classification is surprisingly depressing. It uses women's bodies as furnaces, also known as beauty furnaces. Regarding the classification of the beautiful furnace cauldron, the Taoists have tirelessly refuted countless rumors, but to no avail. No, Emperor Xianzong opened his mouth to ask for a cauldron, and Li Zixing was connected with him, and immediately knew that what he wanted was an aphrodisiac. These bad things made the Taoists with white beards really feel bad.
