Xiao Liu looked at Mr. Zhu.
After Mr. Zhu finished his tea, he thought for a while and said:
"This is probably because you haven't mastered it yet. I have discussed the outline of this technique with him. What this technique focuses on is to enchant the devil with your heart and control the devil with your mind.
However, it is easy to become possessed and difficult to control. During a fight, as the murderous intention is released, one's own demonic nature will become stronger and stronger. It is normal for one to corrode the spiritual platform. "
"Then I wonder if sir, is there any way to solve this problem?" Xiao Liu asked aloud.
"It's not difficult. This skill is about using God to control demons. Then you only need to strengthen your mental clarity to protect yourself from being eroded by demonic thoughts." Mr. Zhu said with a chuckle.
"Enhancing mental clarity?"
Xiao Liu couldn't help but think about it when he heard the words. Suddenly, he thought of something.
"What the gentleman is talking about could be referring to the Dao Zang Buddhist Sutra."
"As expected, Deputy Yan Tou is smart. Some books contain the principles of heaven and earth. Regular reading can help to clean the spiritual platform and make the mind calm and bright. However, some scriptures are too complicated. I recommend three books to you here. They are all just words. A simple yet meaningful book."
"Please give me your instructions, sir." Xiao Liu stood up respectfully and clasped his fists.
Mr. Zhu also smiled and said:
"One is my Taoist Tao Te Ching. This book is divided into two parts, with a total of eighty-one chapters. It was written by Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although this book only has more than 5,000 words, it contains a lot of information. The truth is vast and boundless.
It is believed that Zhang Zhenren, the founder of the Wudang Sect, understood the principle of using softness to overcome hardness and using stillness to stop, and then he created the mysterious and unpredictable magical skill of Tai Chi. I have been studying this book for a long time, and every time I read it, I gain new insights. "
The first thing Mr. Zhu recommended was the Taoist "Tao Te Ching". This book is indeed a strange book through the ages. The principles contained in it are so profound that it is difficult to imagine who the author was who originally wrote it.
Especially in this world of martial arts, the "Tao Te Ching" is even more remarkable, because of the martial arts myths of the time, Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang Sect was inspired by them, and then he realized Tai Chi, a brand-new martial arts method.
Yes, Tai Chi is more than just boxing, swords, and internal skills. It is a brand-new martial arts method.
It is the birth of this martial arts method that enables Wudang to be on an equal footing with the Shaolin Temple, which has been passed down for thousands of years.
Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, and Tai Chi Xuan Gong are all the top magical skills in the world.
However, this does not mean that the "Tao Te Ching" is a precious martial arts secret book. The "Tao Te Ching" is actually a philosophical classic. It is widely circulated and can be purchased in almost every bookstore.
Although Zhang Zhenren was able to create the magical Tai Chi skill back then, although it was indeed inspired by the "Tao Te Ching", there are prerequisites for this. First, you must have a high level of understanding, and second, your own martial arts accumulation must be sufficient. .
To put it simply, "Tao Te Ching" is a profound secret book that is profound enough to inspire their martial arts path for the supreme masters, but for ordinary people or warriors who are not so enlightened, this is just a book. Philosophical classics.
However, even if it cannot inspire ordinary people, the exquisite and profound principles and the Taoist charm contained in every verse can indeed make those who read it reach a state of tranquility and concentration.
When Xiao Liu heard this, a slight smile appeared on his lips, but he did not express his position. He waited for Mr. Zhu to continue.
"This second book is the Yin Fu Jing, a wonderful book from the pre-Qin Dynasty. No one can tell who wrote the Yin Fu Jing. Some people say it was the ancient Xuanyuan Huangdi, and some say it was the political strategist Gui Guzi.
But no matter who wrote it, there are only about 300 words in it, but it is the Tao that governs the life and death of the world and the principles of yin and yang. It can be said that this is an ancient book no less than the "Tao Te Ching". "
When Xiao Liu heard this, a slight smile appeared on his lips again.
Mr. Zhu continued:
"In addition to these two wonderful books, there is another one, which is actually more suitable for your current situation. This book is the Buddhist Heart Sutra. This book aims to clarify the mind and nature, and pay attention to all dharma. Kongwen, it can be said that it is very suitable for you."
When Xiao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle again, because he happened to have read these three books.
However, since a long time has passed, and he did not have the ability to remember photographs at the time, he has almost forgotten it now, and can only memorize a small number of passages.
It's a pity that his photographic memory cannot be used on past memories.
But it doesn't matter. If he doesn't remember it, he can just memorize it again. For him who now has photographic memory, memorizing is probably the easiest thing in the world.
"Thank you sir for your advice. Xiaoliu will go to the bookstore to buy books later." Xiaoliu thanked him with cupped fists.
"Buy books in the bookstore, no need, no need. Laochan happens to have these three books here."
As he spoke, Mr. Zhu turned around and took down three books from the bookshelf.
"Sir, how do you do this? You still have to see." Xiao Liu quickly declined.
"It's okay, I heard that Deputy Chief Yan has a photographic memory, and I just wanted to see it with my own eyes." Mr. Zhu said with a chuckle.
Hearing Mr. Zhu's words, Xiao Liu's face couldn't help but froze. He didn't have to think about it to know who said this. It must have been said by the old man who painted pictures. It seemed that the old man had been following him for a long time, and he even knew this. .
"Since sir wants to see it, then Xiaoliu will show his shame."
Now that people know it, Xiaoliu no longer hides it. This can also explain why he became literate in a short time. With this ability, is it difficult to learn to read?
Under Mr. Zhu's eyes, Xiao Liu quickly flipped through three thin books.
Mr. Zhu was a little surprised when he saw that Xiao Liu had finished reading these three books in less than a cup of tea, because Xiao Liu was not reading at all just now, but flipping through the books.
"Did you write it all down?"
"Write it all down."
Xiao Liu nodded. These three books combined did not have 6,000 words each. In addition, he had some impressions from reading them before, so he naturally memorized them all at once.
However, the content of the Tao Te Ching was a little different from what he had read before. Xiao Liu knew that this was due to different versions.
But these are all minor problems, and with a photographic memory, it’s not something that can be difficult for him.
Mr. Zhu was a little disbelieving as he took out a book and took the Primary Six test.
"The way of heaven." "If there is more than is lost, make up for the deficiency."
. . .
"There is no accumulation of suffering to destroy the way." "There is no wisdom and no gain."
. . .
"Heaven and earth are the robbers of all things." "Everything is the thief of man."
. . .
Mr. Zhu asked questions one by one, and Xiao Liu answered them one by one. Every sentence was correct and every word was good.
In the end, Mr. Zhu even took out the handwriting he made in the book to take the Primary Six test.
"The living is the root of death, and the dead are the root of life. Grace is born from harm, and harm is born from grace. What did I write next to this sentence?"
"It's written that life and death depend on each other, and interests and dangers are mutually exclusive." Xiaoliu replied without thinking.
Hearing Xiao Liu say the correct answer, Mr. Zhu looked at Xiao Liu in disbelief and shook his head.
"It's unbelievable that there is such a genius in this world?"
"Such a physique, such talent, plus the ability to connect hundreds of meridians, it's just..."
