Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 52 The Way of the Sage
On the way, the little girl Guan Guiying asked: "Brother Manzi, Sister Yiqing is so nice, why don't you marry her, No. 1 Yuan in Fuling became my sister-in-law, that would be great!"

Guan Ziyang couldn't explain it either, so he could only answer: "You will understand when you grow up."

After returning to Guanjiabao, I went to have a conversation with Mrs. Zhu, with Qingchan taking care of her, and her mother looked good, so he locked himself in his room, and now he was getting more and more confused about martial arts.

It may be because he has innate energy, innate essence, and innate god at the same time. The more he learns, the more questions he has. These things are not answered by his master Ge Hong, a semi-sage who only practices Taoism.

His martial arts can only be explored by himself...

"First of all, a question. Why does Wei Yi have his own Dao Heart while he is practicing blood martial arts? How should I find my own Dao Heart?"

"Secondly, before Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were sanctified, they all used internal force. Why can I only use the innate energy in my body now? But the innate essence and innate god cannot be used."

"Third, people eat five grains to generate energy, which can be transformed into internal energy by practicing inner strength and mental methods."

"I use Taiji to strip the yin and yang of the inner force, and then it becomes the innate qi. The yin qi sinks to become the innate essence, and the yang qi rises to become the innate god."

"Tai Chi was created by Zhang Sanfeng who integrated Buddhism and Taoism. Why can I only use the innate energy to activate it, instead of the innate essence and innate spirit?"

"Fourth, why can bloodline martial arts be practiced only by bloodlines? What restricts it? How should I break this restriction?"

"Fifth... Oh, there are too many... I don't want to."

"Master spent all his energy to help me forcefully step into the second-rank realm. Anyway, I have the strength to fight against a master of the first-rank realm now."

"Quickly ordering the product is the big deal. Martial arts can be done according to fate. Although I can become a saint in my own dreams and prolong my life for a hundred years..."

Guan Ziyang got a headache from thinking about it, picked up the quilt and covered his head, and fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up, he saw the little girl Guan Guiying lying beside the bed, holding a piece of dogtail grass in her hand.

No wonder you feel your nose itch.

Guan Ziyang got up and hugged her on the bed: "The teasing is on my brother's head, see if I don't spank your ass!"

"Brother, forgive me!"

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the sound in the room, Guan Ziyang stopped his movements and looked up. In front of the outer desk, Ruan Xian who looked like a "Shouxing Gong" was sitting there, and Wei Yiqing was standing aside.

The cough just now came from Wei Yiqing.

Guan Ziyang quickly let go of Guan Guiying, and went to see him.

"I don't know that Mr. Zhong Rong (Ruan Xian's name Zhong Rong) is here, but I have neglected you."

"It's good for you, kid. You made my darling disciple cry, and you went home and fell asleep with your head covered." Ruan Xian said flatly.

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said: "I offended Ms. Yiqing so much, I am very sorry, but I have my own insistence on the matter of marriage, I hope Mr. Zhong Rong will forgive me."

Wei Yiqing was silent at the side, just looking out of the window.

Ruan Xian said: "Don't worry, we master and apprentice are not here to make things difficult for you, but you have broken my disciple's Dao heart, I want to ask you for a favor to help my disciple regain his Dao heart."

Guan Ziyang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Dao Xin? Please tell Mr. Ruan that I don't know what Dao Xin is!"

Ruan Xian raised the crutch in his hand and wanted to hit him, and said, "You kid still pretend to be garlic for me!"

Guan Ziyang was frightened and dodged, but saw that the crutches were only raised high and did not fall down.

"You have the innate spirit of Taoqian boy in your body. I can't feel it when you are an old man. It's just that I haven't seen this kid for decades, but he has already reached the realm of a saint!"

Guan Ziyang secretly said: "Ruan Xian and Tao Yuanming are old, it seems that Tao Yuanming is dozens of years younger than him..."

Ruan Xian said: "Do you want to know how my disciple Yiqing's bloodline awakened? Do you think that only saints can 'enlighten'?"

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhongrong, please tell me, I would like to hear the details."

"Want to listen? Yes!"

"You promise me to help my apprentice regain his Taoism, and I will tell you."

"Even if Mr. Zhongrong doesn't make it a condition, I will help Miss Yiqing regain her Taoism."

Ruan Xian said: "Okay! This is a mystery that is not passed on from my sect. Now you only need to kowtow to me three times and ask me to be your teacher."

"And don't worry, your master Tao Boy won't blame you, because he also asked me for advice..."

Guan Ziyang doesn't have any different sects. The half-sage wants to accept disciples, and I can't wait for it.

Immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, and shouted: "Master, please accept my apprentice's bow."

After the apprentice ceremony was over, Ruan Xian said lovingly to Guan Guiying, "Xiao Tuanzi, I'll take your brother out for a while, and I'll come back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, holding Guan Ziyang with his left hand and Wei Yiqing with his right hand, he stepped out of the room in three or two steps and flew out from the balcony.

This is the third floor!
Guan Ziyang was taken aback, and then he felt like he was flying in the air, gliding down.

Ruan Xian then performed lightness kung fu and carried the two of them away.

No wonder the two of them came into my room without alerting the Guan family just now, so they didn't come in through the gate...

He thought to himself: "Ruan Xian's lightness kung fu is much higher than that of Ge Hong!"

In fact, what he wanted to say was, Master Ruan, if you let me go, I can keep up with you.

After a while, the three of them came to the top of the mountain behind the Guan family.

"There is no one here, so I will preach here!"

Ruan Xian picked a big rock on the top of the mountain and sat down, and said slowly: "The two disciples are also sitting, I guess we will talk for a long time..."

Guan Ziyang and Wei Yi Qingbian each picked a stone and sat down, ready to listen to the instruction.

"My Ruan family's bloodline martial art is called "Jiju Qingxiao", which is based on internal strength and uses sound waves to injure the enemy."

"My uncle Ruan Ji cultivated himself to become a semi-sage through this method."

"My uncle is an inexhaustible genius, and in just 20 years, he realized the rhythm of Taoism and reached the realm of a saint."

"After becoming a saint, unlike the 'Three Saints of Great Wisdom' Kong, Li, and Shi, he did not preach his teachings after becoming a saint, in order to steal the world's luck in order to live forever."

Guan Ziyang thought: "Confucius, Li Er, and Shakyamuni were also called the Three Great Wisdoms. The old Taoists never told me that the three of them preached their own teachings, but they only wanted to live forever?"

Ruan Xian continued: "And I have mediocre aptitude, so I have no possibility of becoming a semi-saint, but my uncle imposed his luck on me to help me become a semi-saint, and then he disappeared."

"I have searched for him for many years to no avail, but because of luck, I can feel that he is still alive."

"Now that my hundred years of life are almost exhausted, no one in my Ruan family has the talent to take over my uncle's sage mantle."

"So I traveled around looking for successors. Two years ago, I finally found Yiqing in Fuling County. At that time, she was sitting alone under the plum tree playing the piano. I knew her perception of the rhythm just by listening to it."

"It's her."

"After I accepted her as an apprentice, I taught her the art of playing the piano. She is talented and intelligent, and her bloodline suddenly awakened within half a year."

Guan Ziyang was surprised and said: "Why can my senior sister awaken her blood when learning the piano?"

Ruan Xian said: "This is my uncle's way of a sage—Xuan, those who learn Xuan may awaken their blood!"

"Ziyang, with your talent, you can definitely do it!"

Guan Ziyang's eyes widened, "Xuan? Hasn't the metaphysics (integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism) that was popular in the Eastern Jin Dynasty spread?"

Unbelievable, he said: "You can awaken your blood if you learn Xuan? Then in this world, everyone can awaken their blood, and everyone can be a nobleman?"

"Exactly!"

"So it is impossible for some people to spread his sage knowledge..."

Guan Ziyang suddenly realized that Ruan Ji's metaphysics had moved too many people in the world, so he had to hide.

Immediately, Ruan Xian's face turned serious, and he said seriously: "Ziyang, today I accept you as a disciple because I hope you and Yiqing can take over my uncle's mantle. Although you can awaken your blood because of this, but at the same time, if you expose Awakening your bloodline through your practice of metaphysics will also face great danger!"

"I believe that with your ingenuity, you should already know where this danger comes from, and how terrifying it is!"

Guan Ziyang secretly said: "I fucking regret it, I can't do it if I don't learn!"

After cultivating metaphysics, the blood is awakened, so can the gentry of the Eastern Jin Dynasty still get along?
Everyone has become a gentry, that is...

No more gentry!
Guan Ziyang asked again: "Then what about my master Tao Yuanming? What is his way of being a sage? Why would he share his luck with me, and let me take away my innate energy."

Ruan Xian said: "Boy Taoqian has great wisdom since he was a child. His way has already surpassed mine. How can it be known to me, a semi-sage who is dying."

"I only know that he cultivates the way of avoiding the world. As for why he wastes his luck to pass on your innate energy, I don't know."

"How is it? Ziyang, have you considered it clearly? Do you still want to learn the martial arts from my sect?" Ruan Xian said with a smile.

Guan Ziyang immediately fell to his knees with a thump, "Master, to tell you the truth, although Ziyang is not talented, he already concealed his desire to help the world two years ago."

"To establish a life for the people, to establish a heart for the world, to inherit the knowledge of the past, and to create peace for all generations!"

"My ambition!"

"If metaphysics can enable everyone to practice blood martial arts and eliminate class distinctions in this world, no matter what dangers they face, I would like to!"

Ruan Xian stroked his long beard lightly, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I will pass on to you my uncle's sage mantle. In the future, you must join hands with Yiqing to find my uncle and give him encouragement!"

Guan Ziyang and Wei Yiqing bowed down immediately, and said loudly: "I will obey the master's order!"

Ruan Xian looked very satisfied with the two apprentices, but another thought arose in his heart.

"Little Ziyang, you are so smart, why haven't you reacted yet?"

"With your character of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and muddling along, why did you suddenly develop a heart to help the world? Isn't it because of a chance encounter two years ago... this peach boy... hehehe..."

(Guan Ziyang: I was reborn into this world two years ago, and I lived there for three years, three years! Do you know how I lived these three years?)

　The first volume of insights is over.

　　It was much earlier than expected, and there were too many plots and characters foreshadowing, so I had to compress it as much as possible, because the results are really bad, and if I continue to write like this, I think it will be cold.

　　So the author ended the foreshadowing volume ahead of schedule.

　　But don't worry, everything that should be written has been written, but it may not be so perfect.

　　Next is the second volume, Xuan Xin.

　　The unknown and extremely terrifying danger that Ruan Xian said is about to unfold in the second volume.

　　Next is the trip to Jiankang, let's see how the pig's feet are from the top gentry of the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

　　See how Guan Ziyang lays out the world, former Qin, former Yan, Ran Wei, former Liang, Dai Guo, Duan Qi, Lin Yi Guo,

　　All are on his chessboard.

　　The dignitaries in the black clothes alley are unrestrained and romantic, talking and drinking, and the five stones are corrupted.

　　But a little...
