Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-03-03

The Yellow Emperor reigned for 19 years, and his authority spread all over the world, and when he heard that Guangchengzi lived in Kongtong Mountain, he went to visit. He said to Guang Chengzi, "I have learned that you know the supreme way, and I have come to ask you what is the essence of the supreme way. I hope to refine the essence of heaven and earth to nourish the grains and thus nourish the people. I also want to manage the yin and yang qi and let all things grow, how can this be achieved? Guang Chengzi replied, "The question you want to ask touches on the essence of matter; What you want to manage is the dregs of things. Since you ruled the world, the clouds have rained before they gathered, the grass and trees withered before they withered, and the sun and moon gradually dimmed. And how can those who are narrow-minded and clever in their words understand the mystery of the Tao! After hearing this, the Yellow Emperor put down his status as an emperor, built a simple house, covered with white thatched mats, and after living alone for three months, he went to visit Guangchengzi again.

When he saw Guang Chengzi, he was lying with his head facing south. The Yellow Emperor cautiously approached from the downwind, bowed respectfully twice, and then asked, "I heard that you have insight into the Dao, please tell me, how to cultivate yourself in order to prolong your life?" Guang Chengzi immediately sat up and said in admiration: "That's a good question!" Come, and I will tell you the true Word. The essence of the Tao is deep and dark; The ultimate of the Tao, silent and silent. Don't look or hear, hold the spirit in tranquility, and behave naturally to the right path. It is necessary to be quiet, clean, not to strain the body, not to consume your energy, so that you can live forever. Out of sight, out of hearing, without thought, the inner divinity will guard your form so that it endures. Pay attention to inner cultivation and be vigilant about external things, too much knowledge will only bring failure. I have led you to the top of the light, to the source of the sun. Then take you into the deep and dark portal, to the essence of yin energy. Heaven and earth have their own duties, and yin and yang have their own place; Take care to protect your body, and everything will thrive. I follow this principle and am in harmony, so even though I have been cultivating for 1,200 years, my body has never aged age. The Yellow Emperor saluted respectfully again and exclaimed: "The realm of Guangchengzi has really reached the unity of heaven and man!" ”

Hiroshi continued: "Come on, I'll tell you again. All things are endless, and people always think that they have an end; All things are unfathomable, but people think they have limits. He who has mastered My Word may become the Emperor of heaven or of the earth; Whoever loses My Word, even if he is on high, will be reduced to dust. Now all living things are born in the earth and eventually return to the earth, so I will leave you and step into the endless gate and wander the boundless wilderness. I will share the glory with the sun and the moon, and coexist with heaven and earth. For me, clarity is oncoming and blurring is far away from me. When the world grows old and dies, I am the only one who lives! ”

Guangcheng Woyunxiu, more than 1,000 years old.

Xuanyuan came to the wind and asked to cultivate the god form.

To the words of the mysteries, tell from the underworld.

The three lights are infinite, and the silence returns to Taining.

The immortal Guangchengzi lives in the ethereal Kongtong Mountain, in a stone cave. The Yellow Emperor came to him and asked, "What is the secret of the supreme way?" Guang Chengzi replied: "You govern the world, just like a bird that flies on its own without waiting for a call, and the grass and trees have withered without the need for autumn, how can you understand the mystery of the Tao?" The Yellow Emperor then retreated, meditated and meditated for three months, and then went to see Guangchengzi, this time he knelt in front of Guangchengzi, respectfully bowed twice in a row, and asked how to cultivate one's self-cultivation.

Guang Chengzi replied: "The essence of the true avenue is unfathomable, invisible and silent. Keep your mind at peace, and your body will naturally return to the right path. You must have a heart as pure as a mirror, a body as pure as jade, not to strain your body, not to disturb your mind, so that you can seek eternal life. We must guard the inside, close off the external distractions, and be smart but be mistaken by the smart. I insisted on being one heart and getting along with each other, so I lived for 1,200 years and still looked good. Get my true biography and become the emperor; If you lose this truth, you will be reduced to dust. You will follow me into the endless realm, wandering in the boundless wilderness, sharing the light with the sun and the moon, and coexisting with heaven and earth. When the world is gone, I am the only one who can survive. ”
