In the past life, the Analects of Confucius said that wise people enjoy water and benevolent people enjoy mountains.
Others do not know the original meaning of Confucius. Not to mention later generations, even Confucius's disciples may not understand what their teacher meant when he said these words.
But mountains and water have been closely related to people since ancient times.
Not to mention relying on mountains and rivers, words related to mountains and rivers are everywhere.
For example, traveling across mountains and rivers.
For example, traveling around the mountains and rivers.
However, trekking through mountains and rivers is a bit heavy, and traveling around mountains and rivers is a bit frivolous. For people, the closeness to mountains and rivers is most neutral and impartial in terms of "travel, sightseeing".
When the Yellow Emperor offered sacrifices to heaven, he looked for mountains to offer sacrifices to.
Why?
Because it is closer to the sky.
Emperor Qin asked for immortality and wanted to send people to sea.
Why?
Because the sea is vast, the distance of the water symbolizes remoteness and unknowability, and perhaps there are gods and goddesses living in it.
These are the people who are masters, and they are far away from ordinary people.
How do ordinary people feel when facing mountains or water?
It definitely feels like it!
And it's probably different from the feeling when you're on the land plains.
Although the plains represent stability, they also represent mediocrity.
but.
When you reach the top of the mountain.
Even if the edges have been smoothed by life, even if you have been mediocre for a whole life or half of your life, you will still be involuntarily high-spirited when you are on the top of a mountain.
When you come to the seaside or take a boat on the sea.
Facing the calm sea, the turbulent sea, the gentle sea, and the roaring sea.
Regardless of whether you were peaceful, irritable, generous, or extreme in the past, your heart or mind will be pulled by the sea, and whether it induces calmness or turbulence, in short, it will lead to openness and vastness.
so.
If you are disappointed with life, if you feel like you are being worn down by this mortal world, then go mountain climbing.
If you feel that you have lost your passion, or feel that you are stuck in extreme extremes and always feel violent in your heart for no reason, even if you can't stand it, then go wade in the water. You can look at the sea, go out in the sea, or dive into the water.
Then you may have some different insights into life.
Then your life may change.
Why?
In fact, it has nothing to do with the heart.
Or even if there are some psychological factors, psychology is just an introduction. The real internal reason is the interaction of Qi and machine, and the interaction between things and myself.
From a high point of view, it is called "the unity of man and nature".
You can simply explain it with magnetic fields.
It is the majestic magnetic field of mountains or water that causes changes in your own magnetic field.
But this explanation is too narrow, and the level of interaction between things and myself is far from what the so-called magnetic field can represent, but has a deeper and more comprehensive content.
But that's not important.
Just like the saying in the Tao Te Ching, the Tao can be said but not constant. The Tao can be named but has no permanent name. In short, it is enough to know that there is such a thing.
Landscapes change people.
The "easy" here means change.
The soul of mountains and the spirit of water can replenish people's body and mind.
yes.
body and mind!
Not only does it benefit the mind, it also benefits the body.
When one stood at the level of a great master, many things in the world were unveiled in front of Xu Guangling.
This incident is just a small example.
Knowing is one thing, but after knowing it, the next step is to apply it.
In this matter, for Xu Guangling, the thing that can interact with people and interact with each other can be mountains, water, or...
a tree.
Feeling the physical and mental peace of Gan Congshi not far away from his side, Xu Guangling smiled faintly.
The old man could only feel that he would feel more comfortable now, and that he would involuntarily and inexplicably wander near this tree in the future, but he probably didn't know this, let alone why.
All his actions are purely instinctive.
In Xu Guangling's eyes at this moment, the tree that he had spent a lot of effort to guide and grow was sparkling and beautiful under his spiritual vision.
And this time.
Both he and Gan Congshi were enveloped in the crystal brilliance.
That crystal, that brilliance is not static, but constantly flowing, like a water ball or light curtain from inside to outside.
In this flow, this tree brings the two people under its cover into its life cycle and is nourished by it.
At this point, Xu Guangling for the first time created or refined an "elixir" that could be used by both practitioners and ordinary people.
The vitality liquid cannot be used by ordinary people.
Not to mention ordinary people, all human-level cultivators are not good at it, and even earth-level cultivators with profound strength like Gan Congshi can only use it a little bit.
But this "elixir" is different.
Anyone can use it!
Xu Guangling finally found something that could be used by his parents, especially his mother, in this life.
In fact, Xu Guangling was not sure a moment ago.
Because his theory in this aspect is not perfect enough.
In other words, he has not established a complete system on the topic of "the influence and linkage between the life operations of plants and the life operations of animals".
But when this tree came out and appeared before our eyes, a point on this theoretical coordinate system was determined.
Now, as long as he returns to the banker's house, he can plant such a tree in his courtyard or outside his mother's window.
As an ordinary woman, she does not have to do anything but live her daily life and live under the brilliance of this tree. As time goes by, not only her body, but also her mind will also change.
Transformation occurs bit by bit.
To use the description in the Dao Zang of previous lives, blood changes in one year, Qi changes in two years, bones change in three years, and marrow changes in four years.
Of course, the one, two, three, four here is a fictitious reference and does not really represent the exact one, two, three, or four years.
Then until the body and mind are pure, you can cultivate yourself without practicing, and naturally enter the path of cultivation.
In fact, even if he does not engage in spiritual practice throughout his life, his life span will be far longer than that of ordinary people. Not only ordinary people cannot compare, but even human-level monks cannot compare.
Just from the aspect of lifespan, it can at least be equal to the earth level.
At least!
And if he had such a method in his previous life, the two old men wouldn't have to practice so hard.
In particular, because of the two old men's enlightenment, in order to "correct" and "return to heaven", Xu Guangling spent a lot of thought and had no choice but to develop and establish a pile of theories.
Of course, those setbacks were not in vain, but solidified Xu Guangling's theoretical and practical foundation in this aspect.
This is the past life and past events.
And now, of course, he can't plant this kind of tree in the dealer's yard right now.
So ostentatious!
This moment is not the right time.
And as far as the aura environment is concerned, Qingshui City may not support this kind of tree.
It was simply still early, and the father and mother in this life were still very young at this time. They could afford to wait not to mention ten or twenty years, but thirty or fifty years.
Of course, he doesn't have much time.
In view of the information provided by the Sky Mirror, it took nine years.
This is actually quite long.
And if nothing goes wrong, in about three to five years, one of the three bankers, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Zhuang Zhihe, and Zhuang Zhixin, may be the first to break through to the ground level.
By then, a small part of the banker should have moved to the county town, and he will also have the qualification to own a spiritual land in Dongshan.
At that time, the world for bookmakers was vast.
As for him, the sky is high and the road is far away.
These three to five years are enough for him to obtain everything he wants in the county.
Then naturally we went up Mount Wei.
Maybe the state capital.
It could also be didu.
No matter how big the world is, he must explore it bit by bit.
Starting from Qingshui City, to counties, states, countries, regions, and the entire world.
It also starts from the condensation of Qi, to the channel opening, to the opening of the orifices, to the earth level, to the heaven level, to the "sage", and covers all the levels of cultivation from low to high in this world.
