After waiting for nearly a month, Master Feng returned to Changle Martial Arts School after a long journey. It seemed that he had traveled a long way. He was surprised to hear that Qin Yang had memorized thirty-six thousand sword techniques.
After watching Qin Yang perform more than 30,000 sword techniques in one move, Master Feng had a wonderful expression on his face. He looked at Qin Yang in disbelief for a while and said: "So far, I have memorized all the sword techniques.
It took you at least ten years! I thought it would take you at least five!"
Qin Yang was a little happy when he heard Master Feng's praise, but the questions in his heart were still unanswered. He asked: "Although I have memorized the swordsmanship, I can't express the feeling in my heart at all when I make a move.
If you are weak-minded and face off against an enemy, you may be defeated by your opponent without even using a sword."
Mr. Feng smiled slightly and said: "There are three steps to learn this set of swordsmanship. Remember this set of swordsmanship is only the first step. Now let's move on to the second step. I want to teach you a set of skills called the unity of knowledge and action.
"
When Qin Yang heard about the unity of knowledge and action, he perked up and said, "The unity of knowledge and action! Isn't this the skill of Confucian psychology? It has long been extinct in the world. I didn't expect that I would be able to hear it in this life."
Master Feng looked at Qin Yang with expectant eyes, smiled and said: "How much do you know about the art of integrating knowledge and action?"
Qin Yang said: "This is a set of exercises created by the Confucian sage Yangmingzi after he attained enlightenment in Longchang. After Yangming sage created this set of exercises, he suddenly transformed from a Confucian scholar into a swordsman. With his
The three-foot long sword dominates the world, but it is a pity that this set of skills was destroyed by the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucianism more than three thousand years ago."
Master Feng was very satisfied with Qin Yang's answer, twitching his beard and smiling, and said: "Have you ever thought about why Yang Mingzi changed from a person who didn't understand martial arts at all to a
A swordsman who conquers the world."
Qin Yang thought for a while and couldn't think of an answer, so he said to Master Feng: "The student can't think of anything at the moment. Please give me some advice."
Master Feng smiled and said: "If you are not angry, you are not enlightened, and if you are not angry, you are not angry. If you think about it again, this can be regarded as an assessment of your Confucian skills. If you understand this level, it will be of great benefit to you in practicing this skill."
You may not have the answer now, but when you think about it clearly, I will teach you this set of exercises."
After Feng Fuzhi finished speaking, he showed an enigmatic smile and was about to leave. He did not expect Qin Yang to understand this answer now.
Just after he took ten steps, Qin Yang had already gone through Yang Mingzi's works that were still circulated in his heart, and he had already realized something in his heart. He couldn't help blurting out: "Knowing is the idea of doing, doing is the skill of knowing; knowing is
The beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge. The unity of knowledge and action is a set of kung fu that unites body and mind. After Master Yangming created the kung fu of the unity of knowledge and action, he can naturally transfer the insights in his heart to his hands, legs, and body.
He only needs to be familiar with the sword manual to be able to use it flexibly, so he has never learned martial arts and can become a world-famous swordsman after creating the unity of knowledge and action."
Master Feng slowly turned around. The expression on his face was no longer as simple as surprise. It could be described as a wonderful display of surprise, shock, and even a hint of admiration.
After a long while, Master Feng said: "You are awesome. You have understood this level so quickly. I really admire you. You have understood this level. You may learn this set of skills faster than I expected."
More. Come and follow me to the study."
Master Feng's study is very simple. Although it is called a study, there is not a single book in it, not even the four ordinary study treasures.
After the two sat down, Master Feng said slowly: "The unity of knowledge and action is indeed as you said. It is a set of skills that unite the body and mind. After practicing this skill, the sword moves you remember will be useless."
Blockage is transformed into body movements accurately and unconsciously."
Qin Yang suddenly realized this and said: "No wonder the master didn't pay attention to the coordination of strength and movement when he accepted his disciples. It turns out that there is a secret move of integrating knowledge and action."
Master Feng looked at Qin Yang kindly and said: "If you were an ordinary martial artist, in their eyes you would be a useless waste with stiff limbs and stiff limbs, but in my eyes, you are a talented person who is one in a million. Now
It seems that even one person out of ten thousand has underestimated you."
Qin Yang couldn't help but blush when he remembered that Qin Yang, who was still clumsy at boxing and now still clumsy at dancing with a sword.
Master Feng looked at Qin Yang and said with a smile: "Now you understand the purpose of asking you to memorize the sword manual. After practicing the unity of knowledge and action, the sword moves in your heart are the sword moves in your hands. Both of them
There is no difference anymore.”
Qin Yang said: "But I don't have the strength. If a warrior doesn't practice, can he have sword energy or something?"
Master Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. After you practice the unity of knowledge and action, insist on practicing sword practice every day and follow the sword techniques to move your qi, and your sword qi will gradually develop."
Qin Yang felt his heart heat up after hearing this, thinking of how he would make money by killing monsters in the future, and said hurriedly, "Then you should quickly teach me how to unite knowledge and action!"
Master Feng smiled and said, "What's the hurry? Tell me about the meaning of university."
"Great Learning" is one of the Four Books and Five Classics, the basic classic of Confucianism. Qin Yang naturally blurted out: "The meaning of Great Learning is to be sincere and sincere, to get rid of turbidity, and to enable people to reach the most perfect state..."
Master Feng listened to Qin Yang talk about the meaning of university for half an hour. He couldn't help nodding and smiling. After Qin Yang finished speaking, he said: "Your understanding of Confucian classics is deeper and more thorough than I imagined. Practice knowledge and practice."
To unite, you must first have a correct intention. I will teach you the six-character formula of correct intention first."
As soon as Qin Yang heard that Master Feng was about to fax the Kung Fu, he immediately held his breath and listened attentively.
Master Feng sat upright and said solemnly: "The so-called 'Six-Character Secret of Zhengyi' is based on the Confucian saying in "The Great Learning" that "knowing to stop can then lead to concentration, concentration can then lead to tranquility, tranquility can then lead to tranquility, tranquility can lead to thinking, and thinking can lead to attainment."
Extracted from the true secret of refining the mind, the six words of "stop, concentration, tranquility, tranquility, consideration, and de" can put your whole person's energy in the most harmonious state, and make your body and mind gradually merge into one.
, and then realize the state where the mind is the body and the body is the mind..."
It took Master Feng half an hour to pass on the cultivation method and formula of knowing and understanding to oneness to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang began to practice according to the law. He first used the Six-Character Jue of Zhengyi to adjust his body and mind, so that the energy of the body and mind could synchronize and resonate.
There are many similarities between the Jue of the Unity of Knowledge and Action and the Gewu Technique. The Technique of Gewu focuses on mind enlightenment and regulating the mind, while the Unity of Knowledge and Action focuses on understanding and the communication between body and mind.
As the practice progressed, Qin Yang felt that the barrier between body and mind disappeared, and he gradually entered a state of forgetfulness.
Suddenly, the kind smiles of his father and mother, and the innocent and lovely face of his sister appeared in front of his eyes. Tears flowed down involuntarily. Suddenly he saw his father, mother, sister and the servants at home, all being beaten.
When the officer took it away, his eyes burst into tears, and hatred and anger appeared on his face.
He felt a murderous aura invade his heart, making it difficult for him to control himself. Just when he felt that he could not control the murderous aura, suddenly a cool and comfortable breath slowly penetrated from his forehead.
He opened his eyes, his heart trembled, and he thought, he was almost eroded by his inner demon.
Master Feng looked at him solemnly and asked, "Do you have inner demons?"
Qin Yang nodded, his inner demon was his parents' hatred.
Qin Yang's father was a great scholar in the dynasty. When Qin Yang was seven years old, his father was accused of being implicated in the Literary Prison, and more than ten members of his family were implicated and executed. Qin Yang was not at home at the time, but escaped and lived on the streets ever since.
, went to a brothel and worked as a waiter.
Thinking of the tragic death of his parents, he became so angry that he wanted to slash the emperor with a thousand knives. This anger made him almost unable to control himself, making him weak and broken.
Later, he realized that anger would only destroy himself. If he continued to be angry, he would never have a chance to avenge his parents, so he suppressed this hatred in his heart.
Now when he was practicing the unity of knowledge and action, the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart turned into inner demons and invaded him.
Master Feng saw Qin Yang burst into tears with a stubborn look on his face, and said pitifully: "My child, the devil is born in the heart, outsiders can't help, you can only rely on yourself, I will give you four words
, you should slowly understand it.”
Qin Yang wiped away his tears and looked at Master Feng, his heart filled with a warm feeling.
Master Feng said slowly: "There is no good and no disgust in the body, there are good and evil actions, knowing good and evil is conscience, doing good and eliminating evil is observing things."
Qin Yang chewed on the meaning of the four sentences over and over. His understanding was extremely high, and he suddenly realized something in his heart. He thought: "In order to be able to take revenge in the future, I must let go of my hatred now, remain unmoved, and be neither good nor evil.
"
He began to use the Six-Character Art of Righteousness to adjust his body and mind again, and gradually reached the state of forgetting things and self. When his parents appeared in front of him again, he just looked at them quietly, with no sadness or joy in his heart.
Slowly, he felt that his body also disappeared, leaving only a peaceful soul floating quietly in the void with no sorrow, no joy, no good and no evil.
