Chapter 17, Yanjian can realize the Tao, and will take care of the disciples
I feel that Su Shi is very different from the Grand Secretary Su in his impression. However, perhaps he is still young and not the famous Su Dongpo, or the characters who have been processed in history are different from real people? No longer think about it, the Taoist who knew nothing about it again in Fengyu Literature, took two pine branches and pointed them like a knife. Soon, he cut out two pine swords. Hanged one of them on the wall, held the other pine sword, and went to the lawn outside the courtyard to practice swordsmanship.
The ancient temple of Cangsong is quiet and silent.
The Taoist Zhifei stood quietly on the grass, savoring the sword technique he had been thinking about: "Start with the Zhen Gua."
Zhen is the east, its qi is empty and its lower body is full, its image is round and round, its body is soft and its lower body is hard, its nature is moving, its emotions are impatient, its use is moving, its qi rises, its position is low, its momentum is rising. Therefore, thunder moves around the world, people are unrestrained, things compete with Jingzhe, and all things gather together. This first sword should be the beginning of spring, which is inspired by "Guliang Zhuan": Yin and Yang are thin, and it feels like thunder, and it is exciting and it becomes thunder.
The second sword is rainwater. Rainwater, the snow disperses and becomes rainwater. From top to bottom, it is called rain, when the north wind is frozen, it is called snow, and when the east wind is relieved, it is called water. "Shuowen": It also has: "Thunder, thunder sounds and rings, so it is ringing, so it is thrust and thunder is raised." This sword means to be born and sprout.
As for the third sword, the body of the Zhen hexagram is that one yang moves under the two yins, and is like thunder from the ground, which is most suitable for the evolution of the Jingzhe sword.
…………
After thinking about it for a while, Zhifei Taoist had already sorted out the essence of the sword technique of the twenty-four solar terms. To say it was sword technique, it should be more accurate to be the twenty-four sword intents, which were counted under the eight trigrams. Zhifei Taoist poked out his long sword and started practicing. However, he repeated it several times and always felt that his use was wrong. He knew that this was a normal phenomenon and was not upset. He took the sword and pondered for a while, and when he used it again, he still couldn't do anything.
Just as he was worried and embarrassed, he suddenly remembered the records in "The Controversy of Swords of Yue Girls": "All the way of fighting with hands is real and the spirit is shown outside. He sees it as a beloved woman, and he looks like a tiger, and he is like a cloth and a weather, and goes with the spirit. He is as lonely as a sun, just like a rabbit, chasing the body and shadow, and light is like a Buddha, breathing, not as far as the law is concerned, and he is not as banned as the law, and he is not heard directly." Suddenly, he realized that what he was missing was nothing else, but the spirit inside.
If you know the problem, it is not difficult to make up for it. Just experience the growth and decline of all things carefully and you will gain something. Although I have had many experiences before, I have not realized it with the circumstances, so it is impossible for me to be suitable for this set of swordsmanship.
Understand the crux of the problem, I knew that Ren Da was happy. After playing the Quanzhen sword technique twice, I suddenly felt that I had realized something. Even an ancient pine sat cross-legged. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his body was getting bigger and bigger, so big that it was so big that the vast sky could not accommodate his body; suddenly he felt that he was getting smaller and smaller, as small as a worm in the river, even smaller, so small that he could never see it again...
If a person can truly realize his insignificance, he is actually a part of nature. Then, even if he is just a grain of sand in the Milky Way, he belongs to nature and can enjoy the secret of heaven given by nature, and be able to rely on the secular world and enjoy the peace and peace of mind.
Otherwise, if you roll around in the world all day long, chasing your voice, color, wine and meat, you will naturally lose your spiritual power. You will get up early and go to bed late and work hard, isn’t that the same?
For those who pursue self-reliance, only those who are closer to nature, love nature, further understand nature, embrace nature, and become the first-class strong man in the world. Only in this way can the noble meaning of "people" be recognized. But who would think of these casually in ordinary people?
The mountain wind blows the Taoist's clothes rolling, but he seems to be stuck to a pine tree, although it sways in the wind, giving people a feeling of swaying and free. When he opens his eyes, the sky is already bright and the eyes are full of green. The leaves are dew on the morning dew, crystal clear as beads. The sky is pink and the cheeks of the beautiful woman. At this time, he had already put all the gains and losses and feelings behind his mind, but he would be like passion, keeping it in his heart for infinite truth. That kind of "innocent" heart should be the foundation of his life.
Jumping out of the pine tree, Xu Tongzhen had already made hot water and waited for him to wash up. The eyes of his eyes at him were a little more yearning than yesterday.
He took the toiletry utensils from Xu Tongzhen's hand and said thank you casually, but Xu Tongzhen asked, "Master, can I be like you?"
Knowing that this apprentice had a curiosity when he saw his skills, which was unimaginable to ordinary people, he immediately patted Xu Tongzhen's head: "Of course it is OK. Those who are teachers will teach you slowly. As long as you study hard, these are not difficult."
After washing up, Su Shi came out and was stunned when he saw him, and suddenly asked, "Big Nose, have you become an immortal?"
Zhifei Taoist was stunned: "What does it mean?"
Su Shi curled his lips and said, "It's nothing. Let's use breakfast first. I really didn't expect that if I didn't see you overnight, I was still the same person, so why did I feel like a fairy-like spirit? Maybe I haven't woken up yet."
The Taoist, who knew nothing, smiled bitterly, but also understood Su Shi's meaning. It was probably because he had some experience last night and cleansed his mind, so he looked a little more out of the world than before.
There was nothing to say for a moment. After dinner, a group of children came here again. Su Shi looked at the sunny weather outside and called the children to move the tables and benches to the lawn to start another day of teaching. As for the Taoist, he led Xu Tongzhen into the house and taught him to read the "Tao Te Ching" twice, then took out the "Huangdi Neijing" and taught Xu Tongzhen to read the first two articles in "Su Wen", and confirmed that Xu Tongzhen could recite them by himself. He told him to arrange them by himself after reading these two articles today and explain them to him later.
After arranging the apprentice, Zhifa Taoist came out and greeted Su Shi, then turned down the mountain and walked towards Zitong County.
At dusk, Zhifeidao's only carried two bags of rice and flour and walked towards the ruined temple. When he entered the temple, Su Shi's school had already left school and was explaining "The Great Learning" to Xu Tongzhen. Seeing Zhifeidao's return, he nodded slightly: "It's good to put it in the kitchen."
Zhifei Taoist said dissatisfied: "Hey, Su Zizhan, it's too much."
Su Shi smiled and said, "Those who are capable are working hard. Yes, I am still teaching your apprentice."
Zhifei Taoist put down the rice and flour and rushed Tongzhen to cook. He sat in front of Su Shi: "Zizhan, I have something to do recently, and it is not convenient to take Tongzhen with me. So you should take care of Tongzhen for a few more days. Once the matter is over, I will come back and take Tongzhen around. What do you think?"
Su Shi asked, "You are leaving tomorrow?"
The Taoist Zhifei said, "That's not. I'll stay here for a few days and wait until Tong Zhen's homework is arranged."
Su Shi said: "If you are more anxious, I can also teach your classics on your behalf."
"It's not very urgent to be anxious. But it's not easy to delay too long." Zhifei Taoist said: "It's no problem to teach the Tongzhen Sutra with Zizhan's knowledge. But I still have to pass on some basic body-building methods. Zizhan may not be able to do this."
Su Shi smiled and said, "This is true. Although I have confidence in the six arts of gentlemen, when it comes to practicing qi and breathing, I am really an outsider and know nothing."
The Taoist Zhifei also smiled and said, "Zizhan is too humble, it is just some fitness methods to nourish the body. In fact, my idea is to learn Zizhan and Tongzhen together. After all, Tongzhen is still young, and although what I want to teach is simple, some things may not be understood. I am afraid that he will be out of the way, so I need Zizhan to take good care of him."
Su Shi hesitated and said, "This is probably not very suitable. If your work doesn't take too long, you can wait for you to teach it when you return."
Zhifeidao said, "Did I have to admit that I am not very good at professors and students, and I can only agree if I seek you as a coolie?"
Su Shi had no choice but to say a few serious words. Well, I have received this love. But don’t expect me to serve you tea or something." After that, the two looked at each other and laughed. The friendship between gentlemen has always been like this.
