Chapter 7 The essence of cultivation, where is it?

Listening to his mother's words, Zhang Bairen's three-year-old slug appeared in Uncle Zhang's eyes, and the little girl who was following him all day long, was covered in dirty bodies.

Looking at his sickly body, Zhang Bairen shivered: "Mom, isn't this too early?"

"It's too early? It's not too early. You are four years old now. You can get married at the age of twelve. How could it be too early?" Zhang's mother turned around and gave Zhang Bairen a blank look.

Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly when he heard this, put down the chicken cage in his hand, and decisively did not continue to get entangled in this issue.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties were not the 21st century. Everything could happen in this world. Early marriage is a common phenomenon because the population was sparse during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties were a prosperous dynasty in Chinese history, the population was less than one-twentieth of the previous life.

Moreover, in this era, due to diet, hygiene, disease and other problems, countless premature deaths have occurred.

In this era, doctors are definitely worthy of respect, and good doctors and powerful people must bow their backs.

"Sun Simiao"

After muttering, Zhang Bairen suddenly remembered Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao was the most peak of medical skills in this era. If you have time to discuss medical skills with Sun Simiao, you will be interested in countless pharmacopoeias after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If such talents can be gathered in their hands, they will definitely win over countless powerful people.

But Sun Simiao seems to be a Taoist monk. Is it so easy to deceive Taoist monks?

"What are Bairen thinking?" Zhang's mother put the chicken cage and turned around to look at Zhang Bairen: "Why don't you enter the house quickly, your body is weak. If you get cold, your mother will not be able to survive."

"Yes, yes, yes, it made my mother worry." Zhang Bairen tightened her clothes. He had gained a lot of fur like rabbits and pheasants in hunting these days. Zhang's mother was clever and sewed a piece of clothes for Zhang Bairen. For the time being, it was more appropriate to say it was a clothes, and it was a cloak.

The house was dark and was already close to dusk. The houses in ancient times would not have as high transparency as the 21st century.

With dead leaves lit in the stove, Zhang Bairen sat down slowly, looked at his mother's thin body, and said secretly: "I don't know where his bastard father went, leaving his mother as a flower-like person to suffer here, orphans and widows, fortunately, the people here are simple. If something happens in this world, maybe this father is too irresponsible."

Zhang Bairen has no feelings for his own father. After all, he is an adult. If he calls his father for someone who has no nurturing grace, it will definitely be even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Sitting there, Zhang Bairen began to think about the way of practice. What is the essence of practice?

The essence of cultivation is to cultivate oneself. Good things are to cultivate oneself and develop one's potential.

As the saying goes, refining essence into qi is not just refining essence into qi.

Refining essence into qi is the same pronunciation as refining essence into qi, but the meaning is definitely a difference between heaven and earth.

In Taoism, it is not good to think that this world is the world of energy and qi.

But in terms of cultivation, it should be called refining essence into qi.

What is Qi? It is the potential of the human body. It depends on the word and thinks about its meaning. There are four small teeth under the teeth. What are small teeth? It is called baby teeth!

When a person loses his teeth, it is the transformation of the human body and the effect of the potential in the human body. Cultivation is to gather this potential and control it, which can have incredible power.

In the 21st century, there is evidence that a mother who was rumored to overturn a car and rescued the child under the car. How can a woman have such power?

This is the potential of the human body, with infinite power. Ordinary people cannot develop one billionth of their physical potential until they die, and can only be wasted.

So how to develop your potential? Potential is illusory and hidden in the entrance of the body. How to develop it?

What is distracted?

Thinking about human consciousness, isn’t it also illusory?

Although human consciousness is illusory, under normal circumstances, people can feel it. For example, human thinking, etc., aren’t it all developed by consciousness?

Using the same illusory consciousness to develop illusory potential is the meaning of meditation in Taoist practice.

What a pity, even if you know this, you will not develop potential because you have no teacher.

Why is the Taoist Three Treasures listed as one of the masters? The key to mastering is this.

Sometimes things you don’t admit may not not exist. For example, it is consciousness. Everyone knows the existence of consciousness because everyone is thinking, but how do you express consciousness?

The so-called materialism actually deviates from the great way.

Zhang’s mother was cooking porridge on the stove, and some dry plant rhizomes were placed in the porridge. Zhang Bairen’s little face turned pale. Zhang’s mother chuckled and after cutting a piece of chicken, she put it in the pot.

In this world, the biggest expectation of ordinary people is to eat enough and dare not pray for good food. As long as you eat enough, it is good. No matter whether it is grassroots and leaves, as long as you can eat enough.

What a simple wish!

Unfortunately, even as powerful as the Great Sui Empire, it is still difficult to satisfy the simplest wish of the people.

"There is no hybrid rice. Although the 21st generation has reformed and opened up, the flowers are blooming, but everyone may not be able to eat well. It is okay to eat full." Zhang Bairen looked at the chicken thrown into the pot and subconsciously licked his lips. He cursed the thief in his heart and actually stole a pheasant. If he was caught, he had to let him know why the flowers were so red.

"Oh, Hebei has a severe drought this year, so it's good to fill your stomach. You are still picky, I don't know how many people change their children to eat..." Zhang's mother sighed softly, sat next to Zhang Bairen, and took her into her arms.

Zhang Bairen didn't say anything, but just looked at the roof of the thatched hut with his eyes, as if he saw the stars in the void, where there was a magical aura.

"Since there is a god world, why do people still suffer from severe droughts?" This is the doubt in Zhang Bairen's heart.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and Zhang's mother slowly stroked Zhang Bairen's forehead, as if she was trapped in memories.

After a long time, a fragrance filled the air, and Zhang's mother woke up and said, "It's time to start, go and wait, mom will bring it to you."

Although there were a lot of grass roots and bark added to the supper, Zhang Bairen had to swallow his anger in the face of Zhang's mother's strict eyes, as if he had finished eating like a battlefield.

Even if the chicken is cooked, the grass roots are grass roots and are not delicious!

"Mom, if the child remembers correctly, the Huai River Branch is not far away." Zhang Bairen suddenly spoke as he drank chicken soup.

"Yeah, right!" Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Bairen in confusion.

"Just as cold as the cold land is frozen today, why don't I turn on ice to fish?" Zhang Bairen couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

"The Huai River is three feet cold and extremely cold. It is quite difficult to break it." Zhang's mother looked at the wild north wind outside: "What do you think so much? Some of them are good to eat. If you are weak, don't go up the mountain tomorrow."

"No, winter is dead silent now, and many medicinal materials that will mature in winter can be excavated in this cold north wind. These medicinal materials can definitely be sold at a good price." Zhang Bairen flatly rejected it and said, "Mom, I have always heard of the prosperity of the Central Plains. There is a land of fish and rice in the south, which is evergreen all year round. Why do we suffer in this bitter and cold place, and do not go to the Central Plains, and enjoy prosperity in the south."

Zhang's mother smiled bitterly when she heard this: "This is outside the border. If you want to enter the pass, you must lead the way! If we don't lead the way, it will be difficult for us to enter the pass."

"Lu Yin?" Zhang Bairen was stunned.

"Although the north is bitter and cold, there is no suffering of war. Five years ago, the imperial army suddenly came out of the frontier and took root here, far away from the Great Wall, which caused the Hu people to stare at them and secretly monitor them! Take us and these refugees to the dangerous place, otherwise the Hu people would not be too late! They would have run away long ago!" Zhang's mother gritted her teeth and said, "We are avoiding the barbarians and staying away from the Central Plains. I never thought it would be difficult to escape the suffering of war."

"Far away from the Great Wall?" Zhang Bairen was stunned: "Wouldn't that mean we are on the abdomen of the Turks?"

"It's not the abdomen, it's already close to the abdomen," Zhang's mother sighed softly.
