Before you know it, summer turns to autumn.
After Chen Ping'an spent this period of time nourishing himself and making up for his weakness with diligence, the two qi mansions where his natal objects were placed became full of spiritual energy.
When it comes to practicing boxing and refining qi, Chen Pingan tries not to favor one over the other. However, as he truly becomes a qigong practitioner and has to spend at least four hours a day breathing and exhaling, Chen Pingan becomes more and more concerned about the arrival of the bottleneck in the future.
It is clear that one day, he will need to make another choice to become a pure martial artist in the seventh realm, and then to join the fifth realm among Qi practitioners.
Mao Xiaodong joked one day: "When you were practicing in Cui Dongshan's courtyard, I didn't see you caring about the spiritual energy of the academy. Why were you not willing to take over any spiritual energy at the top of Donghua Mountain? Isn't it too pretentious?
"
Chen Ping'an replied: "After observing the big rules, you can talk about doing as the Romans do when you are in the country and human nature. Cui Dongshan, thank you, Lin Shouyi, in this courtyard, you can draw spiritual energy based on your own realm, and the academy acquiesces
If it is a faultless move, then I can do it. This is probably like... Donghua Mountain outside the small courtyard is the vast world, but in this courtyard, it becomes a country and a place, a small world.
As long as there is no violation of my original intention or Confucian etiquette, I am...free."
Chen Pingan spoke intermittently, because he often had to think for a moment and stop to think before continuing.
Mao Xiaodong nodded.
It seems that when I was refining things at the top of Donghua Mountain, my well-intentioned words were not in vain.
Mao Xiaodong asked again: "A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a tree that is superior to others will be destroyed. What do you think is the truth?"
Chen Pingan replied: "The original intention is to warn gentlemen to hide their clumsiness and adapt to a not so good world. As for what is wrong, I can't say. I just feel that it is far from the world in the eyes of Confucianism. As for why it is so
, and I can’t even understand it. And I think there is something wrong with this sentence. It can easily lead people astray. They are blindly afraid of the beauty of a tree and do not dare to act higher than others. On the contrary, many people think that if you destroy a tree, you are not an expert.
It is something that everyone is doing. Since everyone is doing it and I did it, it is the same as the common people. Anyway, the law does not punish everyone. But once I dig deeper into this matter, it seems to be entangled with what I said, do as the Romans do, although in fact it can
The subdivisions vary according to time, place, and person, and then we try to clarify the boundaries, but I always feel that it is still very laborious, and it may be that the fundamental method has not yet been found.”
This time, Chen Pingan still stuttered, so Chen Pingan couldn't help but asked curiously: "This kind of so-called good advice that is highly praised by the world, I don't deny it, can indeed save a lot of hardships, just like I can
I often use them for self-examination, but can they really be recognized as 'rules' by Confucian sages?"
Mao Xiaodong laughed, but did not give an answer.
Mao Xiaodong then changed the subject, "A white horse is not a horse, what do you think?"
Chen Ping'an replied: "Cui Dongshan once said this, saying that it was because when the saints first created characters, they were not perfect enough, and the way was inevitably incomplete. It was a 'writing barrier' brought to the world invisibly. As time passed, later generations created transcendental characters.
There are more and more words. It was a problem at the time, but now it is easy to solve. White horse is naturally a kind of horse, but white horse is not the same as horse. The poor ancients could only go around and around on the word "non".
Going around, according to Cui Dongshan, this is also called "context barrier". If you don't understand this theory, no matter how many words you write, it is still useless. For example, if someone says one thing is correct, others use another correct thing to deny the previous correct thing.
When others hear it at first glance, but are unwilling to inquire into the details and break it down in detail, they will subconsciously think that the former is wrong. This is considered a context barrier. There are many generalizations and confusion of order, all of which mean that they do not understand the context. Cui Dongshan's answer to
This, quite angrily, said that scholars, even wise men, gentlemen and saints, could not escape this disaster. He also said that this is what everyone in the world should learn most when they are young. This is the foundation of one's life, more than any other.
Both high and low principles are applicable. Cui Dongshan even said that at least half of the articles written by hundreds of sages and sages cannot be understood clearly. Only those who understand this knowledge are qualified to understand the fundamental knowledge of the sages and sages. Otherwise,
Ordinary scholars, who seem to be studying the books of saints and sages, end up building a loft in the sky, which is just a Baidi City floating among the colorful clouds, with no boundaries."
After Mao Xiaodong chewed it carefully, he smiled and said: "It's not all the words of that little bastard venting his anger, it's still a bit chewy."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Cui Dongshan is willing to say, I just listen. After all, Mr. Wen Sheng once said that it is always good for me to think more about everything. Even if the final conclusion is still negative, it seems that
The extra journey you take is actually not a wasted journey."
Mao Xiaodong clapped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Miao!"
Then Mao Xiaodong looked expectant, hoping that this junior brother would at least have some understanding.
Chen Pingan held back his laughter and understood, saying: "If I can see Mr. Wen Sheng next time, I will talk more about Master Mao Shan."
Mao Xiaodong said softly: "Remember, don't be subtle. My husband doesn't do this. For example, if I say this, 'Mr. Gao Miao,' you should tell the truth exactly as it is. It's okay even if you add jealousy, but you can't be oblique."
Intestines.”
Chen Pingan said that he had written it down.
Finally, Mao Xiaodong gave Chen Ping'an a Feijian letter from Piyun Mountain in Longquan County, Dali.
Mao Xiaodong left.
Some of the people currently in charge of Cliff Academy were shaken and needed his comfort.
Chatting with Chen Pingan from time to time is not only to show off as a senior, but also as a way to relax in the busy schedule. Of course, it is also the senior brother's duty to check for leaks and fill in the gaps regarding Chen Pingan's state of mind.
When Chen Pingan opened it, he found the familiar handwriting of Wei Bo, the God of Beiyue.
Previously, Chen Ping'an sent a letter to Wei Bo, asking about the resale of the mountains to the west at a low price.
Chen Ping'an has a natural trust in Wei Bo, the earliest and only remaining mountain god of the Shenshui Kingdom.
Wei Bo told Chen Pingan in the letter that previously, including the Xu family in Qingfeng City, there were a total of nine hills looking for a new home. Ruan Qiong, Fulu Street Li family and other companies have each taken over, and there are still two left.
, if Chen Pingan wants, he can come forward to help negotiate the price, and Wei Bo suggested that although the remaining two are for others to pick up, in fact Chen Pingan bought them at no loss, and also complained why Chen Pingan didn't send the letter earlier,
Otherwise, he can completely eat the Niujiao Mountain. Even if Chen Ping'an doesn't have enough fairy money in his pocket, Wei Bo can put it in first, and the two of them can divide Niujiao Mountain.
!
Chen Pingan read the letter again to make sure that no hidden secrets were missed, and then put it into Fang Cunwu.
The mountains to the west of Longquan County are filled with auras that are as rich as the top immortal mansions in Aquarius Continent. This is true, but the landscape and destiny are severely divided. Furthermore, the territory is still too small. For those who often have a radius of hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles.
As far as the Immortal sects and sects are concerned, it is really difficult to form a climate for those Longquan Mountains that are mostly more than ten miles in radius. Of course, it is more than enough to worship a Jindan Earth Immortal.
Chen Pingan felt that buying the mountain was feasible.
So I went to Mao Xiaodong's study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, asking Wei Bo to discuss a price first.
Ask Pei Qian to run an errand and hand it over to an old master in charge of this matter in the academy.
Sitting in the antique study room, Chen Pingan recalled a recent chat. Cui Dongshan casually talked about the debate between Buddhism and Taoism in Qingluan Kingdom. He had mentioned to Chen Pingan before about the "serious" books about various schools of thought. In fact,
There weren't many, so I told Chen Ping'an to go to the academy library to find a few Buddhist and Taoist classics.
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and left the study. Waiting for Lin Shouyi to finish refining his Qi, he took him to the library.
On the way, Lin Shou smiled and asked, "You haven't figured out the answer to that matter yet?"
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the first time he visited Lin Shouyi in the academy, and the latter's gratitude.
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said: "I really can't guess it. I'm very curious. Please don't play riddles with me. If you don't tell me, I will definitely ask you directly before I leave the academy."
Lin Shouyi smiled and said, "Do you still remember that time when the mountain roads were muddy and Li Huai rolled all over the ground, which made everyone feel bored?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "I vaguely remember that later I promised to make a bookcase for Li Huai, so he laughed out of tears and stopped making trouble. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be able to travel for a while. But in the past few years,
, Li Huai is too sensible."
Lin Shouyi asked: "Then do you still remember what you said to me at that time?"
Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment.
Lin Shouyi smiled and said, "I know you will definitely remember."
Chen Ping'an sighed: "You really care about such a trivial matter?"
Lin Shou nodded and said: "I was the most unsociable at that time. Li Baoping called you Junior Uncle, and Li Huai was the closest to you. Even A Liang liked to chat and spank with the two of them. Zhu Lu and Zhu He were even more
We are father and daughter, but I, Lin Shouyi, seem to be the most out of place. Although I act indifferent, how is it possible to say that I am not disappointed at all in my heart? So in fact, for a long time, I have been doubting myself, whether I am not.
I should go to Sui Dynasty with you to study."
When Lin Shou talked about this, this beautiful Taoist monk who was serious about his words in the academy actually smiled warmly, "Then you squatted on the dirt road, turned around and said a few words to me, 'Make one for you too?'"
It’s easy and casual anyway.”
Lin Shouyi walked slowly, "So I agreed at that time."
Chen Ping'an laughed, "I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought that if I didn't say that, you would definitely not want it. But then I made a bookcase for Li Huai, and you were the only one who didn't have it. I was worried that you would alienate me because of this."
Baoping and Li Huai, to be honest, at that time, I was thinking about you, but more importantly, among the three of them, you, Lin Shouyi, was the oldest and had a stable temperament. When I got to the academy in the future, I wanted to leave.
I hope you can take care of them more."
Lin Shou nodded and said, "I actually understood this when I was on the road, but there is one thing I do quite well, and that is the kindness of others to me. I will not feel sorry for him just because he is more kind to others.
There is injustice.”
Lin Shouyi smiled more and more and said: "Later on the ferry across the river, you made the small bookcase for Li Huai first, and mine became the last one you made. Naturally, it was the one you Chen Ping'an was most familiar with.
The bamboo box became the best one in fact. At that time, I realized that Chen Ping'an didn't talk much, but he was actually a pretty good person. So when I got to the academy, Li Huai was bullied by others, and even though I couldn't do anything,
To be continued...
