Chapter 226 On the Tao
"Old Wu, Old Wu, Haoran is here!" As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Xie Zhenhua opened his throat and shouted into the house.
Soon, an old woman about his age ran out of the house, wearing an apron.
Just when Xia Haoran hesitated, Xie Zhenhua's wife had already greeted him with a smile and said: "You are Haoran, Lao Xie has been nagging me since he came back last time that he recognized a New Year's friend by the North Lake, and my ears are almost calloused when I talk about it." Now, you're finally here, and my ears can finally be cleaned. ”
"Hello sister-in-law! I am Xia Haoran, and this is my girlfriend Li Mengyao next to me, I came to my sister-in-law here today to eat and drink. Xia Haoran also said with a smile.
"Hello sister-in-law!" Li Mengyao also stepped forward to say hello obediently when she heard this.
"Okay! What a handsome girl, come into the house and sit. Xie Zhenhua's wife said as she reached out and took the fruit basket in Li Mengyao's hand, and said angrily: "You two are really, what kind of gifts do you bring to your eldest brother's house, you are not allowed to do this again next time!"
"Hehe, okay! Listen to my sister-in-law. Xia Haoran snorted, and a group of people entered the house.
Several people sat down and learned through chat that Xie Zhenhua's wife was called Wu Meirong, and she was also an old professor at Huaxia University. Everyone talked together, and Wu Meirong got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to clean up dinner.
At this time, Li Mengyao also stood up and asked to help.
Seeing where the two of them were polite, Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, let Yaoyao follow and make a move." We all come from rural families, and we can basically make do with cooking and stir-frying in the kitchen. ”
Hearing Xia Haoran say this, Wu Meirong didn't shirk anymore, and took Li Mengyao's hand and walked towards the kitchen together.
Xia Haoran could naturally see that this Wu Meirong should have also practiced a little internal health kung fu, and her body was very tough, but after all, like Xie Zhenhua, she was old.
"Haoran, since I listened to your instructions that day, I went to grab the medicinal herbs and started to boil them that day, and in just a few days, I feel comfortable and full of energy!" Xie Zhenhua said happily.
"Well, you should continue to take this medicine for at least a month, and then I will adjust a new prescription for you according to your physical condition. By the way, Brother Xie, let my sister-in-law take it like you every day in the future. ”
After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "I've seen it, and my sister-in-law has also practiced a little bit of internal health skills. The prescription I have prescribed to you is pure health care, solid foundation and cultivation, and it will have great benefits for your body after taking it. ”
"Okay, that's fine, I was going to ask you about it. Xie Zhenhua waved his hand and said happily.
The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to cultivation.
"I have some time today, so I simply talked to my eldest brother in detail about the cultivation. Xia Haoran took a sip of water, organized the language in his brain, and then said: "We usually talk about cultivating the Tao, but it is actually a very general and broad concept. Brother Xie should have watched those TV series in ancient costumes, then he should know that we cultivate the way of immortals, demons and demons, ghosts and ghosts, and the essence of plants and trees can also cultivate the way. ”
When Xie Zhenhua heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he looked like he was seeing a ghost in disbelief, and couldn't help but say, "That's ...... That, Haoran, are the demons, ghosts, etc. you just mentioned real?"
Xia Haoran smiled slightly: "Brother Xie, when we talk about cultivation, you'd better completely clear the word 'science' in your head, because we ourselves are all existences that science can't explain, and the topics we are talking about now are beyond the scope of science." Therefore, we must not look at the problem from the eyes of ordinary people. ”
"Oh, that's it! Looks like I'm on the horns, haha......"
"Everything has a spirit! But like demons, ghosts, plant essences, and the like, let's leave it aside for the time being, and today we will only talk about us human beings. ”
After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "When human beings are cultivating, there are usually many subdivisions, for example, for Taoists, they cultivate vitality, for Buddhism, they cultivate Buddhism, and for martial artists, they cultivate internal strength from the outside in. Of course, there may be other more sayings, but the avenue is the same, and each sect and each family is just called differently, but everything is the same, and its essence is the same, and they are all cultivating the Tao. Just like today's schools, there are not only mathematics, but also Chinese, English, and many other courses, all of which are cultural knowledge, but they are subdivided into a number of subjects. ”
"Oh, I see. Xie Zhenhua nodded, knowing in his heart.
"But now, in the era of the end of the law, the aura of heaven and earth is extremely thin, and our monastic lineage has almost been cut off and extinct. Today's new human beings have integrated and pieced together the little things left by their ancestors to form a contemporary monastic system, the ancient warriors. ”
"Ancient warriors?"
Hearing this new term, Xie Zhenhua was also very surprised. Although there are still ancient warriors in Huaxia now, he has never heard of an educator like Xie Zhenhua who has been confined to the campus all his life.
"Yes! In our Huaxia, there are still some ancient martial arts families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Xia Haoran smiled slightly: "However, the circle of those people is another world, and it is difficult for us ordinary people to get in touch with it." And, even if those people walk around us, it's usually hard for us to spot or recognize them. ”
"Haoran, is what you said true?" Xie Zhenhua asked in surprise.
Xia Haoran nodded affirmatively. In fact, he still hasn't said anything, if he says now that he not only knows that there is an ancient martial arts family, but also a certain ancient martial arts family has a great relationship with him, then it would be strange if Xie Zhenhua was not intimidated!
"Yes!"
Xia Haoran nodded and said, "In the ancient martial arts world, there is a complete cultivation system. They divide their practice into four major realms: 'Yellow, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven', and each major realm is divided into three smaller realms: primary, middle, and posterior. Among them, the Yellow Rank is the lowest in the early stage, and the Heavenly Rank is the highest. And Brother Xie's current cultivation is almost between the early stage of the Xuan Rank and the middle stage of the Xuan Rank. ”
"Huh?"
Xie Zhenhua was completely shocked again this time!
He never thought that there was such a clear ancient martial arts cultivation system and realm division. And he has worked hard to cultivate all his life before he can reach the early stage of cultivation at the Xuan Rank.
At this point, Xia Haoran closed his mouth and did not continue to say anything. He knew that the news he had brought to Xie Zhenhua today was enough, and he needed to take time to digest and absorb it.
