True Dragon and Tiger Nine Immortals Sutra, original title "Luo Ye Er Zhenzhen's Notes" was taught by Emperor Tianzhen. It was written in the late Tang Dynasty. "Tongzhi Yiwenlue" records: "One volume of the Nine Immortals Sutra of the Heavenly Emperor, written by Ye Jingneng of the Tang Dynasty, with a line of annotations by Luo Gongyuan", which is this book. This volume is included in the method category of the Dongzhen Department of the Orthodox Taoist Canon. This book talks about the secret secret of inner alchemy cultivation, using water and fire as the great medicine. It is said internally: "The heart is fire and should be separated; the kidneys are water and should be separated. Anyone who practices Taoism and makes golden elixirs must rely on dragon, tiger, water and fire." They also use the method of visualization, which means that the practitioner first closes his eyes and looks up his nose. The silk is not driven away from various objects; secondly, it enters between the eyebrows and observes the appearance of the white hair light industry; the force on the eyebrows is extremely strong, and it is moved into the top of the head. The three pieces are solidified, and the work is soaring. He also talks about the key techniques of opening the top of one's head and trance, and the key techniques of reincarnating one's body after trance and seizing the clone. Different from the general inner alchemy method, it seems to come from the Buddhist Tantric method. The title of the book "Nine Immortals" means that depending on the depth of alchemy skills, one can become nine levels of immortals, namely, the Heavenly Hero, the Immortal Hero, the Spiritual Hero, the Wind Hero, the Water Hero, the Fire Hero, the Air Hero, the Ghost Hero, and the Swordsman. Chao Gongwu said in Volume 225 of "Wenwen Tongkao": This book was banned during the Dazhong period of Tang Dynasty (847-859).
