In the fourth cave within the Divine Confucian Cave, Yue Guan Shan walked in. The first book that catches your eye is placed in the most conspicuous place. When you walk in, you will see that it is the Heart Chapter of Confucianism.
More than ten years ago, the sage Qiu Zi returned from traveling around the world and gave lectures at Chuyang Mountain. As many as three thousand people came, including Taoists and Buddhists. At the end of Qiu Zi's lecture, he wrote the word "benevolence" in the sky on the mountain wall of Chuyang Mountain, which contains Qiu Zi's insights on Confucianism, Taoism and martial arts.
Zichuan established himself one year before "Benevolence", integrated his own experience, and wrote a chapter on the heart of Confucianism, which means "preserving the way of heaven and cutting off the seven emotions and six desires."
He has been practicing for more than ten years, and has gradually mastered the Confucian Heart Chapter. Although the seven emotions and six desires have not been eliminated, they can no longer control him. He can control his sorrows and joys as he pleases, and his actions and actions tend to be more rational, and everything goes according to the trend.
"Preserve the way of heaven and cut off the seven emotions and six desires. For this reason, the title of Master, God and Confucianism is not in vain. Unfortunately, it is not my way. Although I don't know how to practice this method, many of its advantages are worth learning from."
Yue Guanshan watched and thought carefully. This article took him a full day, and he spent most of the time consulting and discussing with his master.
Under the Divine Confucian Heart Chapter is a book called the Divine Confucian Chapter. Yue Guanshan opened it and looked at it, which was a piano score. After reading it carefully, I realized that it was consistent with the philosophy of the Confucian Heart Chapter, which advocated using the piano to play the meaning of "preserving the way of heaven and cutting off the seven emotions and six desires". Unfortunately, it has not been completed yet, it is just a rough creation.
It took another six days in Yueguan Mountain to read more than 30 martial arts secret books. There were methods for practicing Qi, methods for tempering the body, techniques for swordsmanship and bodywork, but there was no basic introduction to martial arts.
"Master, I have read the secret books of martial arts. Please explain the basic knowledge of martial arts to me."
Yue Guan Shan didn't dare to practice. He didn't understand many professional terms. If he practiced rashly, he might damage his foundation.
Zichuan replied: "People have the three treasures of essence, Qi and Shen, and martial arts practice is to practice these three treasures. Jing corresponds to the physical body, which is the horizontal training method; Qi corresponds to the true essence of internal force, which is the Qi training method; Shen corresponds to the soul, which is the visualization method. Door."
"The Taoist sect divides the realm of martial arts into four levels, that is, refining the essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine with Tao. Buddhism is divided into novice monks, monks, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, etc. Confucianism relies on the awe-inspiring holy energy cultivated As a basis, there is no unified standard for dividing realms. However, what is widely spread in the world is acquired and innate. Innate is subdivided into small innate, intermediate innate, high innate, super innate, and peak innate. After innate, there is Hedao. .”
"I prefer the Taoist method of dividing martial arts realms. Refining essence, refining Qi, refining spirit, refining void, and combining Tao, one by one."
"How to practice?"
Zichuan continued: "In the beginning of martial arts, you refine your essence and develop a good physical body, so that the foundation will be deep. Then you refine your qi, accumulate the inner energy of your Dantian, and have a long breath. Later, you can refine your spirit, including the method of contemplation and the method of tempering. . Then he refines his emptiness, perfects his essence, energy and spirit, and realizes his own way. Finally, the body and the way merge, and he transforms into the way."
Yue Guanshan asked: "What state is Master in now? Is he in harmony with the Tao?"
"Huh? How did you guess it?"
"Master's Divine Confucian Heart Chapter and Divine Confucian Mysterious Chapter all have truths contained in them. I think that when the Divine Confucian Mysterious Chapter was created, it was the time when Master became one with the Tao."
Zichuan nodded and said: "Yes, the Hedao is divided into the Dao, the Hedao, and the Transformation Dao. I have entered the Dao and am joining the Dao. This requires opportunity, maybe the next moment, maybe a hundred years."
"I dare to ask Master, can the three of essence, energy and spirit be practiced at the same time?"
"Yes, but the three practitioners are too difficult, time-consuming and energy-consuming. If you are not careful, you will go crazy. Furthermore, just to have a realm, you must also have the method of protecting the Tao, and you must dabble in swords, fists, palms, etc. It’s too time-consuming. So most people specialize in one thing, specializing in physical close combat, specializing in the inner family’s true energy, specializing in the Taoist arts of the soul, etc. This is the reason why the master of all methods is not as good as the master of one method.”
Zhou Xuehai walked over quietly and sat quietly aside, watching the master-disciple Q&A.
Yue Guan Shan bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for clearing up the confusion. I understand."
Yue Guan Shan asked more questions about the cultivation of Jing Qi Shen, and Zi Chuan answered them one by one. When he had no more doubts and wanted to leave, he asked: "My Confucian Heart Chapter leads directly to the realm of He Dao, don't you practice it? "
Yue Guanshan replied: "Master once told an allusion about Qiu Zi's disciples, saying that the Confucian classics require constant innovation in order to achieve the same achievements as Qiu Zi. The same is true for martial arts. If I learn Master's method, my achievements will always be with my teacher. Your Majesty."
Zichuan Fuxu laughed and said: "Haha, yes, yes, those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will perish. Only innovation can surpass me."
On the side, Zhou Xuehai was suddenly stunned, with thousands of thoughts racing through his mind. No wonder in recent times, no matter whether it is Confucian scriptures or martial arts cultivation, there is always a feeling of incompatibility. So that's it, that's it.
He had studied under Zi Chuan since he was a child and admired him without any refutation. Although Zi Chuan had many suggestions for him, although he understood them, he missed the opportunity and never understood them clearly. Today, the opportunity had arrived inadvertently, and he could only close his eyes. He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and was enlightening.
Zichuan shook his feather fan and said: "Yes, yes, they are all good talents. Only in this way can their future achievements not be inferior to mine."
He once again lamented Yue Guanshan's understanding. He just mentioned it casually that day, but today he can draw inferences. He made a mistake. His bones are no longer shackles. How can he lag behind others with such understanding and martial arts cultivation?
Yue Guan Shan said goodbye to his master, stood up and left. He had been reading continuously until now. He needed to take a rest.
In the evening, the family of three sat together and ate fish.
Dad Yuehan's legs have healed and he can walk quickly. The restaurant he runs is also very prosperous. With the silver he earned and some gold, he built an orphanage with the support of the city lord's palace and adopted about thirty orphans. , and invited women from small mountain villages to take care of him. Women in small mountain villages are simple, so he can use them with ease.
He will never forget that the help between people has brought his family to where they are now. The villagers of the small mountain village helped them, Mr. Hua Zhong helped them, and the city lord Qiu Baiyu helped them. He will remember these in his heart. .
Yue Guanxue took two leaves of Tianshan Snow Lotus again and has completely recovered. His root bone is quite good. After taking Tianshan Snow Lotus, his root bone is one step closer. If he practices ice-cold attributes, he may not be able to cultivate an ice-cold body.
Yue Guanshan asked with concern: "Little brother, how are you studying these days?"
Yue Guanxue replied: "Sure, if I can keep up with Senior Brother Lin's progress, I won't lose face, big brother."
"You don't have to take me as your standard in everything, just be yourself, take it one step at a time, don't aim too high, and you will go further."
Yue Guanxue nodded in agreement.
After dinner, the three of them lay quietly in the yard. The moon was in the sky, and the starry sky today was particularly bright.
The three fathers and sons chatted one after another, mainly the father Yuehan was talking. There were many people coming and going in the restaurant. He sat aside and listened to the people passing by talking about the east and west without him having to work.
Which mountain village was attacked by ferocious beasts, which city was invaded by aliens, which master surrendered the spiritual beast, etc.
It's not very safe outside. Countries are fighting, cities are being attacked, aliens are invading, evil spirits are rampant and committing crimes, and the world is in constant strife. Some time ago, the Lord of Frost Leaf City, Qiu Baiyu, led his troops. It is said that he found a nearby village being slaughtered by evil spirits. He chased them down a hundred miles, fought with them, and killed them. This has also aroused the hatred of other evil spirits, and the recent commotion has caused panic among the people in the city.
Yue Guanxue also told an interesting story, "Brother, recently, Senior Brother Lin often assigns me academic tasks and then leaves in a hurry. One time, Senior Brother Zhou came to find me. He followed me secretly and found that Senior Brother Lin was having a conversation with a senior sister. Be alone, and then the whole academy will know."
"It is said that the master found out about it later and scolded him for being a rabbit that only eats grass on the edge of its nest. It was inappropriate."
While talking and laughing, the night was already deep, Yue Han and Yue Guanxue had returned to the house, and Yue Guan Shan was lying alone in the yard again. He was in a trance, mumbling.
"Visualize, visualize..."
In his mind, a bright star map slowly emerged.
