Chapter 5 This bowl of tea suddenly stopped smelling
Ming Jin: When practicing, the rules must not be easy. The body movements must be gentle and not surly. The rise and fall of the hands and feet must be neat and not scattered. The Boxing Sutra says: "The square one should correct it." This is what it means.
As the name suggests, when punched out, it is strong and violent. It continuously removes the rot and retains the essence. It cuts away the clumsy force and produces a hard and crisp force, which is Ming Jin. To put it bluntly, it is still strong and violent. When it is hard and easy to break, it is Ming Jin.
An Jin: The spirit of practice should be stretched but not restrained, and the use should be flexible and lively but not sluggish. The Boxing Sutra says: "The round one should respond to the outside." This is what it means.
The power of dark power is as its name suggests, turning from light to dark. It is like hitting a cow across a mountain. Take the ultimate in softness and punch it. If there is no abnormality on the opponent's body and the six internal organs in the body are frightened, it is considered a success.
Hua Jin: The training involves moving the whole body and limbs, rising and falling, advancing and retreating without applying any force. It is exclusively used by divine will. Although it is used by divine will, the form and rules are still the same as the previous two and cannot be changed. Even if the whole body is moved without applying force, it cannot be fully exercised.
Without exerting force, it is always through the ears of divine will. The Boxing Sutra says: "Three turns and nine turns are one form." This is what it means.
Ip Man was also secretly modest that he had just entered Dark Jin. In fact, he was inexplicably proud of himself. Although his little cousin was born with supernatural powers, he was only in the realm of Ming Jin. The realm of martial arts was not developed over time and needed to be understood.
Even if a dull person practices martial arts until he is forty years old, he will still not be able to understand it. He was inexplicably proud, but unexpectedly, Ye Wentian gave Ye Wen an unprecedented blow on the spot.
Really, sometimes if you don’t work hard, you won’t know what despair is. When Ip Man finished talking about what the realm of An Jin is.
"Cousin, do you see this?"
Ye Wentian held the tea cup in his hand, used all his strength, raised his arm and smashed it down hard, hitting the stone table with the bottom of the porcelain cup.
There was a "click" sound, and a crack appeared in the middle of the table. Slowly, more and more cracks appeared, spreading into a spider web-like shape. Then there was a "click" sound, the stone table shattered, and the broken stones were spread out on the ground.
layer.
Ye Wen was secretly surprised, and quickly looked at Ye Wentian's hand holding the teacup. Ye Wentian turned his wrist and opened it, and an intact and exquisite teacup stood in the palm of his hand.
When Ye Wen saw this, he was petrified on the spot. He could only stare at Ye Wentian in stunned silence. He opened his mouth and then closed it again. He really didn't know what to say.
After taking a sip of tea, I felt that the tea was no longer fragrant, and my heart was complicated for a while. After staying for a while, I said a little dejectedly:
"If you and I were the same age back then and were apprenticed to Master Chen Huashun, I would never dare to say anything about pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts now~"
He stood up, turned around, and walked away somewhat sluggishly. Ye Wentian was left sitting in his original position, scratching his head with a puzzled look on his face.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that my own understanding is good. The Dao Jing originally expounded the concept of Tao. I understand the principles of heaven and earth, and what I pursue is to master the world and master myself.
In fact, it's not a big deal after all. After practicing the Tao Sutra Volume 1 for more than a year, my control over myself is definitely beyond ordinary people.
I grasp every part of my power to the smallest detail, but I just don’t know how the secret energy works. It’s normal to suddenly wake up after hearing Ip Man’s explanation. It can be described in two words: “Understand in an instant”.
Hahahaha, I feel happy and smile silently.
But in the future, transforming energy will definitely not be so easy. After all, transforming energy is just a state, and there is no clear way to practice it. Forget it, you will reach that point sooner or later anyway.
I am a Taoist myself, and things that are surprising to ordinary people are considered normal to me. People who seek immortality and seek enlightenment are always like ordinary people, and they are transcendent from ordinary people.
A week later, outside the gate of Ye Mansion, a group of people watched Ye Wen leave.
Ye Wentian thought for a moment. Ye Wen was a gentle and honest person, knowledgeable and reasonable. The two of them got along very well, and they were cousins.
In this case, twenty years later, when Foshan is in disaster, I will come and visit to ensure your family's journey to the west. Oh no, Ip Man is not Tang Sanzang. Well, I will ensure your family's safety.
Understand cause and effect, and understand one's own body. (Importantly mentioning that Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and Taoism talks about responsibility, and responsibility includes cause and effect.
The Buddhists believe in reincarnation, so they suffer all their lives. In order to attract believers, they use cause and effect to intimidate believers to achieve their own goals.
In fact, no matter which religion you believe in, it is naturally correct; no matter what religion you do not believe, you will go to hell; if you are a vegetarian, you are a naturally good person; if you eat meat, you are a natural bad person.
Don't think too much about the matter. No matter what sect it is, there is always something in the teachings that people can agree with, so that it can last forever. Faith only gives you a sustenance in your heart, rather than asking you to become superstitious.
The reason Taoism emphasizes this life is to enable you to be truly kind to yourself, truly face life positively, and spend this life optimistically. You cannot think of yourself as a slave of God or a lamb of God. You are first of all independent and free, and truly wise.
of you.
Therefore, Taoism governs by doing nothing, seeking immortality and peace of mind. Ancient astronomy came from Taoism. The revision of calendars from ancient times to the present has the shadow of Taoism. If the ancients did not know the solar terms, they would starve to death, and the method of alchemy is an ancient science.
and made great contributions to medicine.
The foreign moths did not engage in farming and seized believers. Only then did our own Zen Buddhism emerge from them.
Although it was born out of Buddhism, the blue is better than the blue.
Asan Buddhism uses strict precepts and rules to restrain people's spirit and body. It directly breaks people's knees, kneels down in front of the Buddha statue, and fully converts to Buddhism from spirit to body, and no longer has independent thoughts of its own.
Zen Buddhism, on the other hand, does not read or recite sutras. It follows one's heart and does not abide by any precepts. It only seeks to achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha. In terms of thought, it has its extremely glorious highlights.
In fact, some people want to ask why those monks who often go to Buddhist temples still abide by the rules and precepts are because Buddhism came to China and we couldn't live anymore due to the harsh thoughts of precepts, so it merged with Chinese culture and formed various branches and sects, not only Zen Buddhism
, there are also Vinaya Sect, Pure Land Sect, Tantric Sect, etc., each with different rules.
Responsibility is a bit profound, I’ll talk about cause and effect later.)
A few days later, Ye Wentian got permission from his parents and took Cai'er out of the Ye Mansion. Before leaving, Li Xiuli gave Cai'er a money bag with dozens of silver dollars in it, and carefully asked, "Master, what are you doing along the way?"
If you like it, don’t be afraid to spend money and buy it all.
Seeing this, Ye Wentian felt warm in his heart. In fact, since he entered Taoism, his daily behavior has become closer and closer to that of an adult. His parents do not regard him as a child. They only think that their children must be as smart as possible.
He was able to protect him a little when he was a child, but as an adult he no longer had to rely on himself. Ye Qin and his wife also looked forward to Ye Wentian quite a bit.
Walking on the main street of Changping County, there are three-foot-wide streets paved with smoky blue stone bricks, with antique shops on both sides. As far as the eye can see, there is hardly a building with a height of more than three stories. The sound of hawking can be heard from left and right, making it very lively.
"Cai'er, is there a place that sells antiques in the county?"
"Master, there is a flea market in the west of the city that specializes in buying and selling old things. There are also several pawn shops not far away that deal in antiques and the like. I wonder where you want to go, master?"
I came out this time just because I have been here for so long, I have never been out, and I am a little curious about the outside world. Halfway through, I suddenly thought, why don’t I learn to travel through the crowd to pick up missing treasures, maybe I can gain something.
Maybe. Even if there is no gain, it doesn't matter, just appreciate today's humanistic customs.
"Let's go to the flea market and lead the way."
"Okay, Master."
After Cai'er responded happily, she quickly passed Ye Wentian and walked in front, leading him in one direction.
How can you go to a place like an antique store to pick up leaks? The prices are expensive and deceptive. Ye Wentian hurriedly followed. Along the way, a cute girl about eight or nine years old led a little boy who was half a head short and strolled leisurely.
Most of the people passing by looked at the two people curiously. They admired in their hearts what a golden boy and girl. It would be great if this was my baby. They were also a little worried about why there was no adult accompanying them to take care of them.
Not long after, the two came to the flea market and walked into the alley. They couldn't see the end of the alley. Compared with the main road outside the county town, there were a lot less cries here, but there were quite a lot of people. There were stalls on the left and right, and in the middle.
Leave a few feet wide to allow people to pass.
Although there was some jeering around, it was not noisy and few people shouted. Ye Wentian found it quite interesting and walked forward slowly, looking around randomly.
He stopped and picked up a small bronze tripod, looked at it carefully for a few times, then put it down and walked to the next curious stall. Only a voice came from behind:
"Hey, young sir, this is the Guoqu Ding handed down by Qin Shihuang. It only costs two silver coins. Alas, don't leave. The price is negotiable..."
"..."
Ye Wentian curled his lips and continued to look around, ignoring the shouts from behind. He was young, but not stupid.
Chapter completed!
