Chapter 76: Heaven and Earth Work Together, Heroes Are Not Free
Even if he is uneasy, Su Jie is still learning constantly.
Since his high level of practice, his exercise volume has increased dramatically, twice as much as before.
He still didn't practice other skills, and repeatedly used the "hoeing" move. He had already practiced to stretch and contract like a dragon, rising and falling wind and clouds, howling tigers went down the mountain, cranes cried in the sky, snakes wandered in the grass, bears squatted and pulled up big trees, monkeys sang among the cliffs, chickens sang white in the world.
He has already reached the pinnacle of this move.
The focus now is on practicing mind and mind.
In addition to physical training every day, he focuses more on cultural cultivation.
In the school’s calligraphy and painting studio, Su Jie practices calligraphy in his spare time.
The high school he attended is one of the best schools in the country. Both the faculty and hardware facilities are very good. The school not only has a sports room, a computer room, a piano room, a calligraphy and painting room, a Go and chess room, etc., but also a swimming room.
He wrote in front of the calligraphy and painting table, and the brush was walking in his hands, writing a neat font.
"The way has no roots or stems, no leaves or glory, all things are born and all things are formed."
This sentence comes from "Guanzi·Inner Industry".
This article talks about cultivating the mind, maintaining health, and practicing qi.
After writing this sentence, he wrote two more big words, "Rootless"!
Then he copied a poem.
"The tree without roots, the flowers are in secluded, and who will be willing to stop greed for glory?"
"The life is like a boat in the sea of suffering, it is not free to float away."
"It is difficult to moor without boundaries and shores, so you often swim in dangerous places."
"If you are willing to look back, it's the shore. Don't wait for the storm to ruin the boat."
The author of this poem is "Zhang Sanfeng"!
Last time, Uncle Blind asked him to read more works by the two ancestors, "Wang Chongyang" and "Zhang Sanfeng", and find things to cultivate psychology from them. Su Jie has been collecting information, sorting it out, and reading it carefully. However, his savings are still not enough and he has not had much experience.
But this time I lived in the farmyard of "Master Ma" for a month and asked a lot of questions. My knowledge reserves gradually became richer, and I had a deeper understanding of the works of these senior monks.
The Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng has been deified and is also said to be the founder of Tai Chi. Various TV series and movies have been filmed, and the novel scripts are amazing, and they are even recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty. But whether these are true or false, Su Jie doesn't want to examine them. He just needs to understand the essence of the ancients' thoughts.
With thousands of years of cultural heritage, how did the ancients be buried in the dust of history? But thoughts can transcend history and have a spiritual dialogue with modern people.
Every time I read the works of the sages, Su Jie felt that although the ancients' technology was not developed, the cultivation deep in the hearts of some real sages was something that modern people could not achieve. It was precisely because of material scarcity and not as bizarre and impetuous as modern society that ancient people could focus more on their hearts and discover some secrets deep in their hearts to practice.
Of course, Su Jie did not think that modern technologies are bad, and the ancients were all right. However, in the skill of cultivating one's own nature, the ancients had the advantage over modern people. This has to be admitted that advantages must be learned.
In terms of physical exercise, modern technology does have huge advantages.
The two are the best, which is what many wise people do nowadays.
For example, the "god-creator" Ou Deli, the blind uncle, and the master Ma.
These people actually have high education and are not "masters" with wild ways in the folk.
Lao Chen has no education and is a Tai Chi family-borne Tai Chi, but he only teaches Tai Chi movements, and no other involves it, nor does he brag about it, which shows that his character is also quite good.
As he used a brush to write "rootless words", Su Jie felt his spirit was restrained and a bright light, and all the impurities were permeated one by one with the writing at the end of the pen.
Every stroke, one hook, one horizontal, and one vertical are all about refining the mind and refining the spirit, and also about practicing kung fu.
Suddenly, Su Jie felt that calligraphy and kung fu were extremely similar. Those strokes were transmitted to the whole body through the mind, and then they fell to the tip of the pen to write smoothly. This not only exercises the spirit, but also moves the whole body.
A pen is a weapon, and the strokes of the font are moves.
He has profound skills and every stroke has charm.
Master Ma judged that his mental state had reached the peak of the second level of the "death, not death," the method of "it seems to be dead, not death". That is, neither thinking nor not thinking. When he calmed down, he could not tell whether he had thoughts or had no thoughts.
There are not many people in the world who can reach this level of practice.
But Su Jie knew that if he did not make a breakthrough, his kung fu would stop there.
In this way, if one wants to break through to the third level of psychological state, the "living dead", that is, "the heart is dead", then his kung fu will usher in a huge leap.
So everything he does now, every move, is working hard to prepare for this goal, just like a squat before jumping.
He has his own core goal, and he can occasionally feel the wonder of this mental state.
As long as you cross this threshold, you will have infinite treasures and wealth at your fingertips.
This treasure wealth is more important than the real gold and silver mountains, because it is spiritual satisfaction.
He felt that as long as he reached this state, even if he had nothing, was plagued by illness, and was old, he was at the bottom of society, and was also the richest person in the world.
"Life and death are like grass, and fame and fortune are like floating clouds."
Before he knew it, these two lines of words appeared in Su Jie's writing, which was inspired by his feelings.
After he finished writing, he discovered what he had written, crumpled the written words into a ball and threw them into a trash can, and then left the calligraphy and painting studio.
He has a new insight into his daily practice.
Compared with his current state, he felt that his life was like walking zombies, and now he has truly come back to life.
Also in S City.
Haoyu Group's headquarters is towering and has long been one of the landmark buildings in City S.
All the buildings are modern high-tech environmentally friendly materials. From the outside, they all look curved glass, twisted and ostentatious, and are a science fiction style that is beyond the times. It represents a technology company.
At the top of the building, there is the chairman's special residence. Without the chairman's permission, no one can go up. It is an absolute secret of Haoyu Group and the central hub for issuing commanders.
I didn't get permission here, and even Feng Yuxuan couldn't get in.
Because this is the office of Feng Shoucheng, the highest leader of Haoyu Group.
The outside is a super sci-fi architectural style, and in the office, it is a pure classical Chinese style, which is very simple, and the ceiling is a Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish pattern.
Below the pattern of Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish is a huge three-dimensional globe as a Feng Shui ball, with the ocean, land, and national concave and convexity on it clearly appearing.
This globe is more than one person tall, occupying the center of the entire office and attracting all the attention.
At this time, there were two people in the office.
One is Feng Shoucheng, chairman of Haoyu Group. He is already over 60 years old and looks like he is in his early forties. He is well maintained, and his hair is even black without a single white hair.
Another man was wearing a Tang suit and looked like an old man in his eighties and nineties. He was holding a bamboo tube in his hand and various bamboo sticks were placed inside. He kept shaking and making a rustling sound.
"Get lots." The old man stretched out the bamboo tube: "Don't observe or choose, otherwise it will be useless. Only when the energy moves and the light of inspiration flashes can you predict the future."
Feng Shoucheng pulled out a bamboo stick without any hesitation.
This bamboo stick is engraved with symbols that many people cannot understand.
The old man took out an old ancient book, compared the symbols on the bamboo stick, and found two lines of poetry.
"When time comes, heaven and earth work together, heroes are not free." Feng Shoucheng also came over to see the results of his lottery draw. When he saw these two lines of poetry, his face suddenly became gloomy. He knew the meaning of these two lines of poetry. When a person is lucky, the world and ghosts will help you, and he can get adventures when walking, and everything goes smoothly. But once his luck leaves you, even a hero, such as the overlord Xiang Yu, the wise Kong Ming, will have to drink hatred.
"Yes, this indicates your future, and even the future of Haoyu Group." The old man who was telling fortune said: "You have a tough fate, violent personality, easy to make quick progress, and easy to lose quickly. You were also rich and prosperous, but only ten years, and once ten years pass, there will be a prison disaster, and you will come and go quickly. But you are actually blessed with your heart, feeling that you have difficulties, so you ask for help from experts everywhere, and happened to find me and helped me a lot, promising to support my whole family for generations, and I can only work for you. Our two families share weal and woe, and helping you is helping me. So I helped you change your fate, change Feng Shui, and calculate the pattern. Finally, I broke the ten-year disaster, giving you twenty years of luck. It is actually the limit that Haoyu Group can reach the present. It is even more difficult to break the deadlock again."
"I also know that there will be a dilemma every ten years. But now Haoyu Group is booming with huge cash flow, and I have more children and more blessings. Every son can stand alone, and my daughter has also begun to show off. Can this kind of money and momentum and gathering a crowd offset the dilemma?" Feng Shoucheng asked.
"No." The old man waved his hand: "The hero is not free, even heroes are like this, let alone you and me?"
"Anyway, I can't see any signs of our Haoyu's decline now, but instead cook oil in a fire. But when I am at peace, I am more likely to be on the verge of danger. The more peaceful and prosperous the times, the more I have to walk on thin ice. I understand this principle." Feng Shoucheng said: "So I will fast for these seven days, be sincere, draw divination and draw lots again to see what information is there. Where did I know, I got two lines of poetry like this. Can't the destiny be changed? Do you want me to sit and wait for death?"
