Chapter 283 282 Today’s People Are Better than the Old Ones

It can be said that Chen Jue had a sudden enlightenment through his exchange with Master Shizheng.

Not only did he master the vowels of this marrow-cleansing skill in advance, but he also understood the meaning of terms such as "lead and mercury nourish the nature" that are frequently mentioned in the Taoist scriptures.

Without the guidance of Master Shizheng, Chen Jue would not have been able to master the marrow-cleansing vowel skills of the Three Teachings and Six Tones so quickly.

In the eyes of many atheistic people, whether it is Taoist alchemy or Buddhist scriptures, many of them are the dross culture left over from feudal superstition.

But in Chen Jue's view, these so-called dross cultures contain valuable spiritual knowledge left by predecessors.

Learning them has no conflict with his scientific exercise plan to become stronger.

As a great man once said, no matter it is a black cat or a white cat, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

As long as he can continue to become stronger and continue to steadily increase his attributes, Chen Jue can try all useful methods.

Moreover, modern people can also achieve the heights of practice that the predecessors could achieve little by little by referring to the experience of their predecessors. They can even do better and faster than their predecessors by relying on modern technology.

Of course, after communicating with his master for a while, Chen Jue was also very curious about his life experience.

So after studying and seeking advice on these Taoist classics, Chen Jue asked: "Master, when you were young, did you reach a level of spiritual practice similar to that of Chongyang Patriarch and Changchun Patriarch?"

Master Zheng, the old Taoist, laughed when he heard this: "It was too late for me to enter Taoism. I was introduced to Taoism by your master when I was more than 40 years old. I haven't practiced many kung fu properly, but I only know the explanation, but I have never understood its meaning. It’s like becoming a monk halfway.”

"As for the step of cleansing the marrow and cultivating one's nature after holding the elixir, it is just a standard for being a teacher. Otherwise, you won't be able to live longer than the two founders, Chongyang and Changchun."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jue also looked up and down at his cheap master.

Looking at the current state of Master Shi Zheng, he has a rosy complexion and gray hair. Although his skin is very wrinkled, it is close to that of a 60 or 70-year-old man. Moreover, he does not need to be helped up to the attic and does not need to be attended to for daily activities. Just follow these few steps. Looking at the other person, he doesn't look like a centenarian at all.

It is enough to show that Shi Zheng Lao Tao's cultivation skills have indeed reached a very advanced level.

You must know that even the founder of the Quanzhen sect, Wang Chongyang and the founder of Longmen, Qiu Chuji, the former lived to be 58 years old and the latter lived to be 79 years old. In terms of life span alone, they are not as good as Shi Zhenglao Tao.

It can only be said that the master is better than the master. With the experience accumulated by the predecessors, the descendants of Quanzhen Longmen Dark Meridian do have their own unique advantages in nourishing qi and extending life.

As for how far the vowel cleansing practice should be completed, Chen Jue also took the opportunity to ask for advice.

Unexpectedly, Master Shizheng stared at him with a strange look. After looking at him for a moment, he spoke: "Everyone who talks about endless practice is mediocre. A genius like you, disciple Xinjue, wants to practice the marrow cleansing in one pass." In the end, it’s probably just a matter of new teeth coming in to replace the old ones.”

"As for whether you can reach the state of the [living dead] like the ancestors, and make the ground as flat as snow with forty teeth, that depends on your personal destiny!"

Chen Jue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked curiously: "Forty teeth as flat as snow? Isn't that the physical appearance of Sakyamuni when he became a Buddha! Are several of our Quanzhen patriarchs also in this physical realm?"

Master Shi Zheng nodded: "The physical appearance of several ancestors is not a secret in our Ansect. They are all clearly recorded. The so-called three religions are originally one family, and they are all practitioners. After cultivating to the end, they will naturally reach the same destination."

As for the forty teeth, Chen Jue also heard about it from the Internet.

I just didn’t expect that through practice, I could actually achieve this kind of change in body structure!

You must know that the teeth in the average person's mouth will have two opportunities to grow in a human life.

Once is the first set of deciduous teeth that begin to grow after human beings are born. Deciduous teeth usually begin to erupt 6 months after birth, and there are 20 in total.

Teeth change begins at the age of six or seven. The deciduous teeth degenerate and permanent teeth grow. Under normal circumstances, 28 to 32 different types of permanent teeth can be produced.

These two teething stages coincide with the first and second rapid growth and development periods of human beings, and are also the two growth and development stages in which human bone marrow hematopoiesis is most active.

After these two stages, it is basically impossible for the human body to grow new teeth. If it does, the last four wisdom teeth will be produced.

Therefore, once an adult's permanent teeth are worn or decayed, they need to use modern medical methods to repair or replace them with dentures.

This is why there are so many dental clinics opening in the streets.

Because modern people consume a variety of foods, such as sugar, drink carbonated drinks, and do not pay attention to oral hygiene, dental health problems are very common, which has contributed to the huge profits of the dental industry.

As for why the practice of vowel pulp cleaning involves teeth, it is also because the growth of teeth cannot be separated from the blood circulation in the human body to transport nutrients such as calcium.

“The stronger the bone marrow, the healthier the body’s immunity, bones and teeth.”

"When you are young and middle-aged, you are full of vitality, your teeth are good, and everything you eat tastes delicious. When you reach the age of Shishi, you can only eat some soft tofu and drink some clear soup and porridge." Master Shizheng smiled happily.

Chen Jue's face changed when he heard this. He felt that he, a cheap master, had a really good attitude and his daily diet was very regular.

No wonder people can live hundreds of years in one breath.

Then I think of the joke video I once saw on the Internet. In the video, the white-haired old man boasted to the camera: "If you want to be healthy and live a long life, smoke, drink, and eat fat. Go to bed late and get up late to stay in good health. Spend more time with the opposite sex." make friends."

I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, I just thought it was a joke.

Now that I think about it, if I really follow this unhealthy lifestyle, my original life of 100 years may have to be shortened by several decades.

…

Accompanying Master Shi Zheng and spending the whole morning sitting and drinking tea, Chen Jue could be regarded as completing his biggest purpose of coming to the imperial capital this time.

He planned to practice the Six-Character Marrow Cleansing Technique as soon as possible after returning, so as to recover from the broken bones in his chest and ribs as soon as possible, so that he could devote himself to the daily exercise of increasing his attributes as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Chen Jue suddenly remembered what Mr. Tan, the jade salesman he met on the plane, said, so Chen Jue asked Shi Zheng for advice again.

"Wear jade in your left hand to calm the gods and bring blessings, and wear silver in your right hand to disinfect and eliminate evil spirits?"

When Master Shizheng heard this, he immediately stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said: "This should be a set of rhetoric used to sell gold, silver and jade in the past. I haven't heard it for a long time."

"The principle is roughly related to the theory of meridians. The meridians in the left hand are connected to the heart, and wearing jade can nourish the heart and calm the qi. The meridians in the right hand are connected to the liver, and wearing silver can ward off evil spirits and remove poisons."

"There is a certain truth to it, but it's just a path that doesn't make it to the top!"

After saying this, Master Shizheng remembered something. He went down to the attic and fumbled around in his bedroom. He took out a box and handed it to Chen Jue: "Disciple, Xinjue, you came in and didn't prepare well for me as a teacher." What a bar mitzvah.”

"I just have something to entrust you to do this time. The jade in this box was collected by me when I was young. I will give it to you as a gift when I no longer need it."

"Master, what are you talking about? If you need anything, just ask."

Chen Jueben declined a little. After all, he had gained a lot of advantages since joining the Longmen Sect, and the price he paid was only a few bags of tea specialties.

It would be a bit unreasonable to accept this jade again.

But when Master Shizheng opened the box and revealed a pendant with the word "Longmen" engraved inside, Chen Jue could hardly move his eyes!

There's nothing I can do about it, it's too green!

The entire tag exudes a rich green brilliance and looks extremely noble and majestic under the sun.

Although Chen Jue was a hard worker before his awakening and had never been exposed to similar precious jade, he had never eaten pork before seeing a pig run away?

After watching the video on the Internet several times, Chen Jue recognized the material of this tag at a glance. It was definitely the top jade material in jade, and it was even very likely to be the kind of imperial green grade that sells for hundreds of thousands per gram.

"Master, this thing is too valuable! This disciple dare not accept it." Chen Jue shook his head and suppressed the greed in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Master Shizheng directly forced the box into his hand, and then said something that made Chen Jue look strange: "Xinjue, do you have a video account on the Internet with the ID name [Brother Unique Skill]?"

"I heard Jianguo mention it privately, saying that you are very famous online, have great influence, have tens of millions of fans, and earn hundreds of millions in appearance fees at a time."

"If possible, can you help our Quanzhen Dragon Sect shoot some videos for publicity? This piece of jade will be considered as payment." (End of Chapter)
