Chapter 1001: The Great Transformation of Dao (Big Chapter)
"The person who is the master of the Tao is the great transformation of the Tao and the transformation of the doctrine."
"The one that holds the knot is open, speaking, and yang. The one that closes is closed, silent, and yin. The harmony of yin and yang is the beginning of its meaning. The same Taoist yin and yang have no extremes, and the wonders of Tai Chi are quite common.
.”
"In the past, Guigu asked the Patriarch, and he was very wise."
Standing quietly in front of a small body of water, he was wearing a green brocade robe. His dark and smooth hair was casually scattered behind him and combed into a bunch. Over the past few days, he had discussed many things with Guiguzi and gained a lot.
Confucianism once said, "When three people walk together, there must be one who is my teacher."
Each of the hundreds of schools of thought has its own strengths, and the same is naturally true for Guigu's Taoism, and if you study it carefully, it is even more impressive. If Guigu's lineage is not obsessed with joining the world, I am afraid that it is also a major sect of the hundred schools of thought, which has the same origin as Taoism.
.
"The way of 捭昷 is tested by yin and yang. Therefore, those who speak with yang should rely on the sublime. Those who speak with yin should rely on the humble. Seek the small from the bottom, and seek the great with the high. From this point of view, everything cannot come out, and everything cannot be included.
You can do anything. You can talk about people, you can talk about family, you can talk about country, you can talk about the world."
"The yin and yang seek each other, and this is the way of yin and yang. This is the way of yin and yang of heaven and earth, and it is also the way of human beings. It is the first of all things, and it is the door of Yuanfang. Xuanqingzi masterfully understood the mysterious gate, and naturally penetrated the universe of heaven and earth, and yin and yang were vertical and horizontal."
"If you follow the way of heaven and earth and control strategic matters, everything will be done. If you follow the way of heaven and earth and practice in accordance with it, you can get a glimpse of the mysterious door. The founder of Taoism once said that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food."
Gui Gu Xuan, who was wearing a plain robe, also stood on one side. Hearing Xuan Qingzi's words, he nodded lightly and immediately responded. Over the past few days, he had discussed Taoism with the other party and gained a lot.
When it comes to the origin of Guigu, it actually lies in Taoism. This Taoism is not that Taoism. It is the home of heaven and earth. The founder of Taoism is integrated with all things, so he naturally has this qualification. Guigu inherits its wonderfulness and has hosted magnificent events for hundreds of years.
At my current age, I am afraid that I can only set foot in the entrance hall. If I want to take a step closer, I have to explore the secret of the origin, but I no longer have that energy.
However, I have to give it a try after all. The principles of Guigu have always been with Zhu Xia.
"For hundreds of years, the successors of Guigu Zongheng have been selected from two outstanding disciples. They use the Xia as a chessboard, the countries and the people as the chess pieces, and fight vertically and horizontally. No one dares to compete with them."
"Now, I wonder who will be the next Guiguzi's plan?"
Regarding this point, Zhou Qing was indeed a little curious. Over the course of time, the descendants of Guigu Zongheng were in limbo, maybe vertically, maybe horizontally, maybe it was necessary to distinguish between them.
How to distinguish high from low?
Will Zonglianheng arise again within the Xia?
It's no longer possible.
Comparing martial arts to determine who is better?
It seems to be a bit difficult. When it comes to the martial arts of the two Guigu disciples, Gai Nie can only be on the front line. If they come out of Guigu together, they will not be able to have direct overwhelming power.
"The next successor to Guigu must be chosen from among those who can truly integrate the ways of Guigu."
Guiguzi gave a very simple answer.
"Oh, from my perspective, both of your disciples are capable enough to find their own path to the Ghost Valley. The Path to the Ghost Valley is the path to all transformations."
"How to make a decision during the period?"
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I believe that both Gai Nie and Gai Nie will be able to integrate the Way of Ghost Valley. In the past few days, since Gai Nie left here, Wei Zhuang has also left directly, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"The way of Guigu to follow the general trend is to make a choice!"
Gui Guzi pondered for a few breaths. Regarding this issue, he had also thought about it. Today's Zhu Xia is different from the age of great strife. In the age of great strife, it is inevitable to determine the next Gui Guzi based on the victory or defeat of Zhu Xia.
Moreover, that is also the general trend.
Among the current Xia, the Qin State dominates and is strong, with many civil and military officials in the center. Although Guigu's disciples have outstanding strategies, it is difficult to reverse the general trend of the Xia, causing the Xia to return to a world of great strife.
If so, the disciple who can find a path for Guigu to follow the general trend will be the next successor of Guigu.
At present, although Nie'er has entered the Qin Kingdom and has a considerable advantage, he is more optimistic about Xiaozhuang. A true successor of Guigu should not let external things shake his mind. Xiaozhuang wanders in Zhuxia.
road.
"I am looking forward to it very much."
Without spending more time on that issue, among the hundreds of schools, Guigu has gradually lost the qualification to play chess on the Zhuxia chessboard. In the future, whether it is Gai Nie or Wei Zhuang who is in charge of Guigu.
The result is no different for me.
"Xiaomeng, have you gained anything these days?"
Half an hour later, after finishing the discussion with Guiguzi, he returned to the small courtyard of the hut where he temporarily lived. He had reached the level of becoming a god and could already refine the energy of heaven and earth to replenish his body's consumption.
Bless the melons, fruits, birds and beasts in the ghost valley, cook them as you like, enough to fill your stomach. On a huge rock not far away, Yan Lingji is shrouded in red mysterious light. She is practicing Miaowu and is trying her best to practice "Yi Jin"
》method.
With his current level of spiritual transformation, it is extremely fast. I am afraid that he will complete his practice in less than half a month. Next, he will switch to "Cleaning the Marrow", and he will only be one step away from realizing the profound entrance again.
The girl in green shirt is manipulating the water of heaven and earth to advance the use of internal power, integrating Xuan Gong practice, the movement of yin and yang, the mystery of hardness and softness, all within it, the clear water flowing around her like a ribbon, which is quite beautiful.
.
"The way of Ghost Valley is nothing more than this."
When her senior brother asked about Gui Gu's principles, the girl showed a slight disdain.
"Hahaha, how about it?"
Zhou Qing smiled.
"As Gui Gu said, if you use yang to move, virtue will complement each other. If you use yin to calm, skills will complement each other."
"Using yang to seek yin is a form of virtue, and yin is used to combine yang and exert force. Yin and yang seek each other, and this is done by shackles. This is the way of yin and yang in heaven and earth, and it is also the law of human beings. It is the first of all things, which is called perfection.
The Gate of Fang.”
"The essence of this statement has been expressed in many of the two classics of "Tao De". The way of Guigu is to be good at strategy but superficial. Without the foundation of truth, it is difficult to reach the great road."
The girl knows a lot about the principles of Guigu, and has her own opinions. The way of Guigu, vertical and horizontal, is nothing more than yin and yang, Tai Chi, infinite transformation, while the combination of vertical and horizontal is nothing more than the disciple's practice.
It would be a waste of time to divide the Tao of Perfect Circle into a single path to practice and then control it in one place. Therefore, I did not stay with my senior brother today and heard about the Tao of Guigu.
"Haha, what you said makes some sense."
"But what senior brother wants you to understand is not the shortcomings of Guigu. Guigu Zongheng can stand tall in Zhuxia and has such a reputation. It has its own uniqueness. Qianhong now has a wonderful understanding of Zongheng."
"It will be successful in the future, you should ask."
Zhou Qing smiled again and did not get entangled with Xiaomeng on this detail. Since Xiaomeng started practicing, he has read all the classics in the Sutra Pavilion and has a broad vision. Guigu's principles do not sound very subtle.
But...if the principle of Guigu was really that simple, they wouldn't hide it.
Nowadays, Xiaomeng is still practicing step by step until he reaches the ultimate level of spiritual transformation. When he reaches the profound enlightenment, he will naturally know the essence of the principles of hundreds of schools of thought.
"Let's go, follow me into the deep forest and grab some good food."
Without Yun Shu and Xue'er around, Zhou Qing really felt a little uncomfortable. With the words in his mouth, his spiritual sense spread, and purple mysterious light flickered under his feet.
"Yes, senior brother."
Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but feel happy. She stayed in the Ghost Valley and always had nothing to do. Fortunately, she could go into the deep forest outside with her senior brother to look for some interesting things.
Don't tell me, those things are really interesting.
******
"grown ups."
Five days later!
In a blink of an eye, twelve days had passed since Zhou Qing entered Guigu. For twelve days, Bai Qianhong had been reading the secrets and practicing in the ancient cave of Guigu.
The light purple mysterious light looms on the surface of the skin, making it even more holy and crystal clear, and the whole body exudes a different kind of luck. The ghost valley is vast, and the avenue of heaven and earth mediates and governs seamlessly.
In just over ten days, my temperament has changed so much.
"It seems you have gained a lot."
Zhou Qing nodded deeply and sensed everything on Qian Hong's body. He didn't make much progress in his cultivation. What was transforming at this moment was the magic of the three elements. To quickly break into the mysterious entrance, he had to find it from the three elements.
"The girl's talent is really extraordinary."
"Your talents are rare in the Xia Dynasty. With Your Excellency Xuan Qingzi here, it is also a good opportunity to show what you have learned!"
Gui Guzi on the side was also surprised. This woman's qualifications were not inferior to Nie'er and the two of them. What's more, this woman might actually set foot in the entrance before him.
The way of Guigu combines civility and martial arts. Such martial arts practice is also of great benefit to strategies that consume a lot of energy. This woman is someone Xuan Qingzi values .
Nowadays, Xuan Qingzi is the Chehou of the Qin State. He has a high position and is in charge of the important affairs of the four counties. It is enough for this woman to show off her knowledge. It is really... enviable. She has been tempered and will shine brighter in the future.
.
"I thought that the fragments of the Ghost Valley left by our ancestors were already impressive, but the inside of the ancient cave was even more eye-opening for Qian Hong."
Bai Qianhong also expressed her praise in crisp words.
After the death of our ancestor Pang Juan, part of the manuscripts he left behind fell into the hands of a tribe that escaped from Wei. When I got them, I had already read more than a hundred people.
And inside that ancient cave, there are the painstaking notes of Guiguzi from all generations. Although the ancestor was strong, after all... he was a loser, and the legacy of the strong is even more precious.
"At this time, it is also a good thing for the girl to understand the essence of Guigu."
Guiguzi sighed softly.
"The inheritance of Guigu will not be cut off."
Bai Qianhong bowed.
"Um."
Gui Guzi nodded lightly. It would be a good thing for Gui Gu to have more suitable people to inherit Gui Gu's ways.
"Guiguzi."
"That's what happened. I'm leaving today. If we are destined, I'll see you again."
Yan Lingji has packed up everything, and the girl in blue is also moving around casually. Staying here must be extremely boring for the two of them. Zhou Qing took a step closer and looked at Xu Ming in the distance.
As they raised their hands, purple mysterious light enveloped the four of them, and they looked at Guiguzi.
Guiguzi bowed his hands.
Immediately, purple light broke through the sky and ran into the distance.
"Sir, in recent months, there have been rumors in the Chu State that the Qin State has changed its troops and the Yan State has prepared to surrender. In Qianhong's opinion, the Yan State's surrender is probably a false strategy, in order to delay the Qin State's destruction of Yan.
That’s the truth.”
An hour later, the four of them had purchased horses from a nearby market town and drove westward. This was the area south of the Huai River in the Chu State, not far from Nanyang County in the Qin State, and there were quite a few patrolling soldiers.
It's just that they can't be called elite.
Bai Qianhong glanced around, talking casually on the road.
"There has been a secret document from the Yan State. Yan Dan wanted to plot against Qin and carried out the assassination attempt a few years ago."
"Although it's not a bluff, it's still a desperate plan."
Zhou Qing had nothing to hide. Although he didn’t know how Brother Wang was going to deal with it now, Zhou Qing believed that some people would end up quite tragic.
"Consult Qin!"
Bai Qianhong raised her eyebrows, this... I really didn't expect that Yan Dan was really courageous and could think of anything to plot against Qin. However, for Yan State, plotting against Qin was indeed the only one he could think of.
It's a decision that can turn the tables.
If it succeeds, Qin's offensive will inevitably be slow.
Of course... this matter will never succeed.
In this case, there is only one ending.
"This year, Qin will probably have to fight on two fronts, against Yan and Wei."
"In theory, in the Yan State, Wang Jian has hundreds of thousands of troops. It is not a problem to defeat the whole Yan State. But in the Wei State, Wang Ben will lead an army to attack Wei alone. Qianhong, in your opinion, how can we quickly destroy Wei?
"
Qin's current national strength is sufficient to support a two-front war.
When he left Jiangling, Wang Ben was already mobilizing his troops and preparing to attack Wei. He didn't know what the situation was now. He met Qian Hong's gaze, smiled slightly, and asked about it.
"Putting down the rebellion in Yingchuan County was the first step for Wang Ben to attack Wei. He was able to reach the rank of a former general of the Qin State in just a few years. Needless to say, he was a general. If he was under General Wang Jian and wanted to ascend to the position of general,
Times are tough.”
"If you attack and destroy a country alone, you can succeed quickly. If you want to destroy Wei, it will be difficult for Wang Ben to attack directly from the front with the troops he has. It will only be decided in one battle without a clever plan."
Bai Qianhong analyzed it carefully. After staying by your side for many years, she naturally knew the important civil and military ministers and young men of the Qin State very well. The rivalry between the two major families in the Qin State Army had gradually become apparent.
Among the Meng clan, there was a general, Meng Wu, and a general of the Jiuyuan Camp. Although he was not a general, he could command an army of 300,000 people. The weight can be imagined. A lieutenant general, Lang, was born.
That person was prepared by the central ministers.
The Wang family is not bad either. General Wang Jian led an army of 400,000 from the Lantian Camp eastward out of Hangu Pass. In terms of his weight, he was definitely the number one in the Qin army. If Wang Ben wanted to go further, he had no choice but to break away from his father Wang Jian.
.
With 50,000 elite troops under his command, it is absolutely impossible to attack Wei State head-on. Wei State's current military strength is not such that it cannot even stop 50,000 Qin soldiers. In this case, there is only one thing left.
"Oh, tell me."
"If it were you, how would you plan to attack Wei?"
The interest of Zhou Qing Dynasty increased sharply. Over the years, Wang Ben indeed found a new way to attack Wei, but... his method was too harmful to Tianhe. I don't know how to quickly destroy Wei based on Qian Hong's talent and learning.
