Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

Chapter 187 The last lesson of the Ming Dynasty. (Please subscribe)
"Oh my god, Teacher Jiang Ning has crossed over again to attack our martial arts novel field."

"Yes, I finally conceived of a world of martial arts that I thought was relatively grand, but I didn't expect that the Eight Parts of the Dragon taught by Teacher Jiang Ning in the Shaolin Temple would directly shatter my world."

"Ha, if you still want to build your own world of martial arts, I'd better save it. It will be easier for me. Instead of wasting that energy, I might as well write a fanfic."

"Fanren, it's not good."

"What's not good? Some martial arts masters have started writing fan stories about Teacher Jiang Ning, and you're still struggling."

"I was wrong……"

Yes.

Since Jiang Ning started teaching martial arts.

There are two types of martial arts in this world.

One is Jiangning martial arts.

The other is other people’s martial arts.

A little more radical.

That is.

There is only Jiangning martial arts in this world.

If you haven’t watched Jiangning Wuxia, that’s okay.

but.

After you watch Jiang Ning’s martial arts.

Then.

In your heart, other martial arts can no longer attract you.

Although Jiang Ning only talked about it briefly in many cases, he hadn't even published it yet.

but.

Even if it is just a rough explanation, a vast world of rivers and lakes will appear.

The first thing to start is the Five Wonders of the World related to Wang Chongyang, which leads to the Nine Yin Sutra.

Later, Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang sect introduced the Nine Yang Scripture.

Then came the Huashan Sect, the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, then the Sunflower Collection, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect with the Qi Lianzhi.

At this time, the Shaolin Temple even attracted the sweeping monk, as well as the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons who were even more skilled than before.

This kind of martial arts, even if Jiang Ning just briefly talked about it, the seeds of martial arts have been completely planted in everyone's hearts.

Let’s look at other martial arts.

Excuse me.

It no longer tastes like that.

of course.

Except martial arts.

Also because of the martial arts that Jiang Ning taught in Shaolin Temple.

Just momentarily.

The reputation of Shaolin Temple spreads throughout the world.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, can you tell us more about The Eight Parts of the Dragon?"

"Didn't you tell me?"

"But that's just a generalization."

"If I don't summarize, it will take me ten days and ten nights."

speak up.

Tian Long Ba Bu can be said to be one of Jiang Ning’s favorite martial arts works.

The reason why I like it is not just because of the world of high martial arts in Tian Long Ba Bu, but also because of the various characters in Tian Long Ba Bu.

It can be said.

Every character in Tian Long Ba Bu is more bizarre than in other works.

Just like Qiao Feng.

He hates the Hu people but is a barbarian himself, protects the Han people but is his enemy, kills his enemies but is his lover, commits evil acts but is his relatives, and makes sworn friends but is a peerless person. He stands upright but cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth.

Another example is Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu has neither father nor mother. He originally wanted to be a novice monk, but in the end he could not become a novice monk.

Another example is Duan Yu.

Duan Yu is the prince of Dali and the future heir to the throne, but he does not want to learn martial arts or become an emperor. After running away from home, he acquired a magical skill through a legendary experience. The girls he likes happen to be his sisters, and he is obsessed with it. Wang Yuyan only has one cousin in her heart, Murong Fu.

Another example is Murong Fu.

What Murong Fu tried so hard to get was what Duan Yu had since he was born.But the Wang Yuyan he didn't want was something Duan Yu couldn't get.

Including Jiumozhi here.

He has been pursuing the supreme martial arts, but in the end he lost all his martial arts skills.

Duan Yanqing wanted to take back his emperor, but his legs were disabled, and his son became the emperor in the end.

So this becomes extremely interesting.

Those who want revenge will not get revenge, those who want to restore their country will not get their country restored, and those who want to remarry will not get remarriage.You TanZhi can't get A'Zi, A'Zi can't get Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng can't get A'Zhu, A'Zhu can't get his father's love, Prince Duan can't get his son, Duan Yu can't get Wang Yuyan, Wang Yuyan can't get it As for my cousin, Murong Fu could not get the Kingdom of Yan...

If you want to use eight words to describe it.

That is.

All sentient beings are sinful, and no one is unjust.

and so.

If you really want to talk about this part of Demi-Gods and Dragons in detail, it’s really not that easy to talk about.After thinking about it, Jiang Ning said: "I won't go into detail about the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon. In the future, I will publish the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon. However, what I actually want to say is. As the sweeping monk said, the higher we want to practice, If we have martial arts, we must practice the corresponding Buddhist Dharma. Only when Buddhism reaches a certain level can our Kung Fu be practiced to the deepest level. If our ideological realm has not reached this level, even if we have peerless martial arts, we will not be able to practice martial arts to the deepest level. You can’t practice it.”

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what you said is too profound. This level of thought is not so easy to improve."

"Not necessarily."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Let me tell you a story about the Sixth Patriarch Huineng."

The so-called Sixth Patriarch is the sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism.

Before the Sixth Patriarch, there were the Fifth Patriarch, the Fourth Patriarch, the Third Patriarch, the Second Patriarch, and the First Patriarch.

The first ancestor is the Patriarch Bodhidharma mentioned before.

"Bodhidharma accepted his disciple Huike, Huike accepted Sengcan, Sengcan accepted Daoxin, Daoxin accepted Hongren, and Hongren finally passed the mantle to Huineng. Therefore, Huineng was the Sixth Patriarch. However, at the beginning, Huineng and It did not attract Hongren's attention. At that time, there were hundreds of people who worshiped Hongren as their teachers, and among them there were many outstanding disciples. However, although these disciples were very good, Hongren still believed that none of them could Carry on your own mantle.”

"One day, Hongren felt deeply that he was getting old and could no longer wait. He wanted to pass on the mantle. So he came up with an exam question. He said that all his disciples could write a poem. You must express your understanding of Zen Buddhism. Whoever writes well and has the deepest understanding will pass on his mantle to others."

"At this time, there was a disciple named Shenxiu. He had performed very well before. When he heard the test questions of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren, he immediately wrote a poem. The poem goes like this: The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror. The stage. Always wipe it diligently to avoid dust. The meaning of this poem is actually very simple. What he said is that we should always care about our state of mind and resist evil spirits through continuous practice. As soon as this poem came out, All the disciples felt that Master Shenxiu wrote very well, and it was Shenxiu who should inherit the mantle of the Fifth Patriarch. Unfortunately, although Hong Ren saw this poem, he did not agree with it. However, he did not say it out loud."

As Jiang Ning spoke, he wrote this poem written by Shenxiu on the blackboard, which can also be called a verse.

"Although Hong Ren did not comment on this poem, it was indeed written very well. A group of disciples in the temple were discussing it from time to time. It just so happened that at this time, Huineng, a disciple who burned fire in the temple, heard it. After hearing this, he shook his head and said that the poem was not well written, and his understanding of Zen was not particularly correct. Other disciples said, "You don't know Chinese characters, but you still have the nerve to comment." But Huineng was not convinced and said, "I Although he is illiterate, he still understands Buddhist principles very well. Even if he is illiterate, everything in the world has the same principles. Immediately, he asked someone to write a poem about his understanding of Zen Buddhism."

talking.

Jiang Ning wrote another poem based on the poem written by Master Shenxiu.

"There is no tree in Bodhi, the mirror is not a stage, and there is nothing in it, where can it cause dust."

Two poems.

It looks very close, but the meaning is completely different.

"The Fifth Patriarch Hongren also saw Huineng's understanding. Although he knew that Huineng could not read, he recognized Huineng very much. In the end, the Fifth Patriarch Hongren passed the mantle to Huineng, so Huineng became a Zen sect. The Sixth Patriarch."

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, many netizens kept savoring these two poems.

Some have tasted another outlook on life in their poems.

Some are still a little hazy.

In this regard.

Jiang Ning told another story: "Maybe you don't understand it very well, so let me tell you a simpler one. After the Sixth Patriarch Huineng took over the mantle of the Fifth Patriarch, his Buddhist realm has been greatly improved. Once, he saw Two monks were arguing fiercely over the flags. One of them said that it was the flags that were moving, and the other said, no, the flags were not moving, it was the wind that was moving. Neither of them could convince the other, so they asked Huineng said that it was not the flags that were moving, nor the wind, but the hearts that were moving. As soon as they heard Huineng's words, they had an epiphany."

Finished.

Jiang Ning left the Shaolin Temple.

As for what everyone has learned about Huineng's Buddhism after Jiang Ning finished speaking about Shaolin Temple, that will happen later.

Anyway, this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious.

But it is this kind of mysterious and mysterious theory that is most suitable for showing off.

……

"Dear students, today is our last lesson on the Ming Dynasty. In fact, there is much more to say about the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zheng He who made seven voyages to the West, the national hero Qi Jiguang, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang... But this Some characters have been studied by countless historians and experts for a long time. Therefore, in the previous classes, most of the time I taught about minor characters."

Back from Shaolin Temple.

According to the plan, Jiang Ning has one last class at Shuangqing University.

"Some of these little people are just ninth-grade sesame officials, and some are not even officials, just commoners. Some don't even have any fame. Some may be inconspicuous in history. However, if we change a From a perspective. Maybe they were not so dazzling in the world at that time, but a few hundred years later, maybe they will be even more outstanding than the emperors, generals and ministers."

"So, for the last lesson today, we still focus on the little guy. Who is this little guy? His name is Chen Zhenlong."

Jiang Ning wrote Chen Zhenlong's name on the blackboard.

Then, Jiang Ning continued: "Perhaps everyone is not familiar with the name Chen Zhenlong, and even if you look through the classics, his name may not be found. However, it was precisely because of him that the people of the Ming Dynasty had a brand-new ration. "

"Teacher Jiang Ning, is it sweet potato?"

At this time, one student raised his hand and said.

"Yes."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, it's sweet potatoes. We know that sweet potatoes were not originally produced in our country. Sweet potatoes were produced in North America and were not introduced to our country until the Ming Dynasty. However, although sweet potatoes were introduced to our country, Who introduced it? In history, no one has recorded it. Maybe they think that this does not need to be recorded. I think this is quite a pity. History should not only record those high-ranking officials, nor should history ignore our ordinary people. . Just imagine, if sweet potatoes had not been introduced into our country, we would have faced a more serious survival crisis. Just by introducing sweet potatoes into our country, his contribution is no less than that of any historical celebrity."

So what Jiang Ning wants to talk about is these characters who have been forgotten in this world.

"Chen Zhenlong was born in Guanle, Fujian Province. Because the land in his hometown was barren and the rice harvest was not good, the people in his hometown often suffered from hunger. Chen Zhenlong has always wanted to change the current situation of his hometown people so that the people in his hometown can have enough to eat. Therefore, Chen Zhenlong went to school but Not to obtain fame, but to abandon Confucianism and engage in business. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, most businessmen chose to go to sea to do business. Chen Zhenlong also joined them and came to Luzon Island with the caravan, which is now the Philippines. Chen Zhenlong saw the people of Luzon Island The staple food they eat is a crop that was not available in the Ming Dynasty, which is red potato, which we call sweet potato in modern times."

"Chen Zhenlong learned that sweet potatoes are not picky about the growth environment. They have high adaptability, high yield, and drought resistance. The results are edible. There is no difference between raw and cooked. They can be eaten raw or cooked. Chen Zhenlong immediately had the idea to bring this crop to the world. When he returned to China, he felt that this product could change the situation of people in his hometown being hungry. However, at that time, Spain controlled the customs power of Luzon Island and strictly prohibited the flow of materials from Luzon Island to other countries. Especially the red potato was also prohibited. It is among the rumors. Therefore, it is not easy for Chen Zhenlong to bring Zhushu back to China."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, how did Chen Zhenlong bring Zhushu back to China?"

Although Jiang Ning is only talking about a small character.

But every little character makes the students feel fresh.

Simultaneously.

This is something they have never learned in history.

So as soon as Jiang Ning started speaking, everyone worried about Chen Zhenlong.

"Faced with this situation, Chen Zhenlong was not in a hurry. He stayed in Luzon Island to learn how to cultivate red potatoes. When the time was right, he would think of a way. With the continuous cultivation, Chen Zhenlong learned more and more about the benefits of red potatoes. He also knows better about its habits. If Zhushu is brought back to the country, it can solve the food and clothing problems of countless people. At the same time, he also knows that Zhushu does not have high requirements for the growth environment, even if there is no soil, it may even grow very long. He can survive without absorbing water for a long time, which also creates favorable conditions for Zhushu to be brought home."

"For this, Chen Zhenlong was prepared. He tied a sweet potato vine to the ship's grinding rope, and then tied it to the cargo. In this way, Chen Zhenlong escaped the Spanish inspection. Afterwards, Chen Zhenlong did not move for a moment. Dare to delay, he put this cinnabar vine brought back from Luzon Island into trial planting. Not long after, the cinnamon vine sprouted new shoots."

"The following year, there was a severe drought in Fujian, which greatly reduced the people's harvest. However, Changle County was not affected by the drought because of the cultivation of vermilion sweet potato. Chen Zhenlong proposed to the government that he hoped that the cultivation of vermilion sweet potato could be extended to the whole province. The government listened to his suggestion. , Zhushu became a life-saving straw in the famine-stricken Minzhong region. Until the Qing Dynasty, more than half of the domestic provinces planted Zhushu, and by the Qianlong period, Zhushu had been promoted to the whole country and became a staple food for every household."

Speaking of it.

Jiang Ning gave an example of population data: "Let's take a look at the data. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the country's population was only 1 million at most. However, by the Qing Dynasty, the country's population soared to more than 3 million, or even 4 million. What is the reason for this? Did the Qing Dynasty achieve more than the Ming Dynasty, or did the Qing Dynasty have better policies? In this case, neither. The one that played the most important role was the introduction of Zhushu into China. It was also the people who solved the problem of food rations for survival. The population has been greatly improved!!!"

The foundation of a country lies in its people.

The foundation of the people lies in food.

This is also the reason why Jiang Ning wants to talk about Chen Zhenlong.

Simultaneously.

This is also Jiang Ning’s last lesson on the Ming Dynasty.
