Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 223

Qin Zhiyong observes the practice of Wudang disciples every day and collects data, especially the data of Zhang Wuji, which is especially important.

The first layer of skills, judged according to various data, is relatively perfect.

But Qin Zhiyong and Zhang Sanfeng took three and a half years to create the second level of cultivation method.

Qin Zhiyong and Zhang Sanfeng called this kind of exercise "health preservation exercise".

A very common name.

As for the third level of health-preserving exercises, there is currently only one concept, which involves the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature".

Neither Qin Zhiyong nor Zhang Sanfeng has reached the realm of "harmony between man and nature". Their knowledge and realm can only barely create the second level of health-preserving exercises.As for whether it is perfect?Still need to verify.

There are only three layers of exercises for health preservation exercises.The first level is "people", the second level is "earth", and the third level is "heaven".It is a practice based on the "three talents" of heaven, earth and man.Its philosophy can be said to point directly to the road.

After discussing with Qin Zhiyong for several years, Zhang Sanfeng's Taijiquan theory finally took shape.

Zhang Wuji's physical condition was better than expected.

Theoretically, the human body has unlimited potential and is a huge treasure with infinite possibility of evolution.After being poisoned, as long as it is not fatal, the body will inevitably produce antibodies, and the next time it encounters the same poison, it will not be so dangerous.

The same is true for the cold poison of Xuanming God's Palm.Zhang Wuji no longer resisted the cold, and after a long time, with the help of psychological hints and medicine, his body naturally developed antibodies.

The cold poison and Zhang Wuji's body tended to merge gradually. In a few years, as Zhang Wuji's body became stronger and his inner strength became stronger, the hidden danger of the cold poison would be completely eliminated.

Zhang Wuji has practiced the first level of health preservation skills very well.

Song Qingshu is much worse.

It may be because of the cold poison that he has been poisoned. In addition to practicing martial arts with his heart, Zhang Wuji also has a special interest in medical skills.

in the morning.

Qin Zhiyong is teaching Lingshuang to practice: "You and your sister are twins, and they look very similar, but there are still some differences in character and temperament between the two of you. There should be no comparison and sloppy spiritual practice. Your sister Qiuyue can reach the state of meditation , It's her chance, Lingshuang, remember not to compare yourself with Qiuyue. Over the past three years, Lingshuang, you have become a little impatient. Irritability is a taboo in spiritual practice."

Lingshuang said calmly: "Sir, how can I reach the state of concentration?"

Qin Zhiyong shook his head secretly, Lingshuang seemed calm, but in fact he was still a little anxious.You could hear it from the tone of her voice.

Qin Zhiyong said: "I have told you the method and principle of cultivating the mind. The master leads the door, and the cultivation is up to the individual. If you want to reach the state of meditation, you can only rely on yourself. Lingshuang, your swordsmanship has already reached the level of fineness. In the state of nuance, what you need to practice next is the way of the sword. Unfortunately, you haven't found the 'Tao' in your heart. You put down the sword and don't practice it anymore. When you get into meditation, it's not too late to practice sword."

Lingshuang nodded.She really can't feel the improvement of swordsmanship recently, no matter how much she practices, she just can't break through the inherent realm of swordsmanship.

At this time, Zhang Wuji came to ask Qin Zhiyong for advice with a medical book.

Lingshuang smiled slightly at Zhang Wuji, and then said to Qin Zhiyong, "Sir, Lingshuang will leave first."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Relax a bit. Don't think about cultivation anymore. If you really relax, maybe you will have unexpected gains."

Lingshuang said, "I will remember what you said, sir."

Zhang Wuji looked at the back of Lingshuang leaving, and said, "Sir, sister Lingshuang, who is this?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "She has doubts in her heart. I gave her a few pointers at will. Do you have doubts too?"

Zhang Wuji said with a smile: "It's a small medical problem."

Qin Zhiyong looked at Zhang Wuji and said, "Wuji, do you really like medicine?"

Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Yes. I've been particularly interested in medical skills since I came into contact with them. Medical skills are similar to martial arts, and they are broad and profound."

Qin Zhiyong said: "It's a good thing to be interested. Since you like medical skills, I will take you to see a genius doctor. Wuji, you know, I am good at medicine, and acupuncture can only be said to be passable. And this genius doctor The technique of acupuncture and moxibustion is definitely above me."

interest is the best teacher.With interest, you can take the initiative to learn and indulge in it.

If you continue to stay in Wudang Mountain, you will not be able to create the third level of health-preserving skills, so it is better to go out for a walk and try your luck.Qin Zhiyong was so anxious that he decided to leave Wudang.

Zhang Sanfeng was exploring, and Qin Zhiyong was also exploring.

As a pioneer, it is more difficult.Constrained by the general environment, both Qin Zhiyong and Zhang Sanfeng stood at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Jianghu. If they want to go further, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

………………

Lingshuang packed the package, saw her sister Qiuyue was still sitting at the table drinking tea, and said, "Sister, we are leaving Wudang Mountain soon, why don't you pack your things?"

Qiuyue put down the tea bowl and said softly: "Sister, you have to take good care of your husband's diet and daily life on the road. Mr. likes quietness. When staying in a hotel, choose a remote and quiet place. Also, Mr. likes to eat relatively light food... Yours I'm a little impulsive, so don't cause trouble for Mr. on the way."

Lingshuang asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you telling me these things? Could it be that you don't plan to go with us?"

Qiuyue said: "This time, I won't go with my husband and you. I'll go back to Dadu first."

Lingshuang asked, "Why?"

Qiuyue said: "I am by your side, and your practice will be affected."

Qiuyue understands Lingshuang's thoughts, she always wants to get into meditation as soon as possible and compare herself with herself.But spiritual practice cannot be achieved without hard work or impatience.Qiuyue felt that since she was no longer by Lingshuang's side, she might not be under so much pressure.

Lingshuang took Qiuyue's arm and said, "Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good. Don't worry, I should be able to enter meditation soon. When I return to Dadu, let's practice martial arts again."

………………

Qin Zhiyong took Lingshuang and Zhang Wuji down Wudang Mountain.

Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Cuishan, Yin Susu, Qiuyue, Song Yuanqiao, Song Qingshu and others sent the three of them to the foot of the mountain.

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said, "Really Zhang, Qiuyue, and everyone else, you must say goodbye after a long distance. Let's send it here. Qin will leave."

Lingshuang said to Qiuyue: "Sister, I'm leaving."

Qiuyue said with a smile: "Remember, take care of your husband. Don't make trouble for him."

Zhang Wuji said: "Great Master, Father, Mother, Master Uncle, Senior Brother Song, I will be back after I have finished my medical skills."

Zhang Sanfeng said: "Mr. Qin, I need you to take care of Wuji along the way."

After the backs of Qin Zhiyong, Lingshuang, and Zhang Wuji disappeared, Yin Susu wiped away her tears, with deep reluctance in her eyes.

Zhang Cuishan said: "Don't cry. Wuji followed Mr. Qin to practice and learn medical skills. He will be back in two years."

Yin Susu said: "Wuji has never left us since he was a child. Now that he leaves suddenly, I am afraid that he will have to suffer a lot outside. I just don't want to part with Wuji."

Zhang Cuishan shook his head secretly, he is really a loving mother who loses so much, it is good for his son to go out and suffer a little bit.Zhang Cuishan also hated his son, but he didn't show it.

There was deep envy in Song Qingshu's eyes, in fact, he also wanted to go with Qin Zhiyong.Having grown up so big, he hasn't left Wudang Mountain yet.He was curious about the outside world.

………………

Qin Zhiyong never carried a weapon.Zhang Wuji doesn't practice swords, knives, or weapons.Only Lingshuang is a swordsman.But she didn't bring a sword this time either.Without a sword, Lingshuang feels very relaxed.

From this point of view, carrying weapons is sometimes a burden.

Zhang Wuji asked: "Sir, where are we going to find a miracle doctor?"

Lingshuang said: "Wuji, why are you asking so many questions, just follow the master."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Sister Lingshuang is right."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Let's go to Butterfly Valley. There is a genius doctor named Hu Qingniu there. Wuji, if you go to Butterfly Valley, you can learn different medical skills."

Qin Zhiyong also had his own purpose in going to Butterfly Valley.

There are many precious medicinal materials in Butterfly Valley. He wants to prepare a medicine for bathing to enhance potential and restore vitality.

Cultivating the mind belongs to inner seeking.

Medication is an external request.

Whether it is seeking internally or externally, the purpose is to strengthen oneself.

Qin Zhiyong had developed the "Life No. [-]" medicine before.Now his spiritual realm is higher, and his use of medicinal materials and pharmacology is even more superb. It may not be impossible to prepare a better medicine than "Life No. [-]".

Qin Zhiyong secretly said: "I used to pay too much attention to internal seeking, and I was a bit disdainful of external seeking. I have a prejudice in my heart, which violates the doctrine of the mean. It is important to cultivate the heart, but external seeking is also indispensable. The balance between the two must be balanced. Get it right. Otherwise it’s either one or the other.”

After adjusting his mentality, Qin Zhiyong looked at the problem more justly, objectively, and impartially.

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog.What I said is the Supreme Lord, and the way of heaven has no selfishness.This is not small benevolence, let alone inhumanity, but great benevolence, all things are equal.

Only from the perspective of a guest officer can the so-called "God's perspective" appear, wisdom can be revealed, and what you ask for will be what you get.

Qin Zhiyong's state of mind has improved in the past few years, but he is still far away from the state of "An".Because there are still many deep-rooted negative emotions in his heart.

If you have negative emotions, you will inevitably have no peace.

A month and a half away.

Qin Zhiyong took Lingshuang and Zhang Wuji around the small path between pine trees, and suddenly, he suddenly became enlightened.What catches the eye is an intoxicating valley with quiet environment, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Lingshuang said excitedly: "Wow, it's so beautiful. Sir, this is the Butterfly Valley. It really is a good place to practice and live in seclusion."

Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Sister Lingshuang is right. This place is really beautiful and pleasing to the eye."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "That's right, this place is the Butterfly Valley. Let's go, let's visit the miracle doctor Hu Qingniu first."
