Chapter Ninety-Five: Xie Xuan
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Ning, and since he started talking about "Zhuangzi", this famous genius seemed to have changed into a mute, and he didn't make a sound. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info went out with the two most eye-catching beauties in the house.
Zhou Ning coughed dryly and said: "Brother Ouyang is serious, I am a layman to "Zhuangzi", how can I have any high opinions?" Forget the love of nature, and the world is useless for a long time, this Zhuangzi and materialization also. However, Yan Yuan died, Confucius was stunned, this body is still there, why forget it, follow the reason, but forget the feelings? Confucius is still like this, so I think the sages have feelings. ”
Wang Danzhen said movingly: "Zhou Gongzi has insightful insights and unique opinions, how can a layman express it?" According to the truth, what Zhou Gongzi said can be called Jin Shengyu. ”
"The World Speaks New Words" once praised that Wang Bi "spit out gold in the Middle and North Koreas", Wei Jue "restored the jade and vibrated in the Jiangbiao", and "the thread of the micro words will never be repeated". Wang Danzhen's words are tantamount to comparing Zhou Ning's Wang Bi and Wei Jue, which is tantamount to an extremely strong compliment.
Ouyang Ke was even more jealous, but he was helpless, and Junwei's face turned blue and white.
From the "Zhuangzi", "Tao Te Ching" to the "Heart Sutra" of Buddhism and other metaphysics, and to the Confucian classics such as words, poems, books, and Fu, all of which were at his fingertips, and spoke vividly and insightfully.
Although Zhou Ning has a heart of respect for him, he has to admit that his insight in this area is far above his own.
What surprised him even more was that Xie Zhongxiu was not inferior to the other party in Qing Talk, showing her amazing metaphysical literacy and insight, and she deserved to be a talented woman of the Xie family who was poetic and drunk.
Zhou Ning did not participate in the next topic, but he could still sense the faint hostility of the children of the family around him, and secretly smiled bitterly, knowing that he had already been in the limelight.
After a while, Du 13 confessed his guilt and left first, before leaving, he glanced at Ding Qi and the second daughter, and gave Zhou Ning an ambiguous look, Zhou Ning glared at him, Du 13 laughed and went downstairs.
Finally held on to the end of the conversation, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Zhou Ning stood up, and after chatting with Ding Qi on the side, he patted Liu Yu, who was sleeping, and the latter was stunned: "Big brother, is it over?" ”
Zhou Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, let's go." ”
Xie Zhongxiu sneered and walked out of Wanghu Pavilion after Zhou Ning.
Half an hour later, Zhou Ning walked out of Mingyue Garden, Song Beifeng had already prepared two carriages, and then Xie Zhongxiu also walked out with Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Ke still followed behind Xie Zhongxiu inch by inch.
Song Beifeng said: "Young Master Xuan wants to see Brother Zhou, and he has prepared a carriage and horse, please ask Brother Zhou and ......."
Zhou Ning said: "His name is Liu Yu and he is my friend. ”
Song Beifeng nodded and said, "Please get into the car with this Brother Liu." ”
Song Beifeng is forty-five years old this year, and he is the number one master in the Xie Mansion's huge family generals, and his swordsmanship is not below the Jiupin master, just because he was born in a poor family, so he is not on the list of Jiupin masters.
With such a talent as him, the world could have let him roar, just because Xie An had a great kindness to his family and admired Xie An as a person, so he was willing to be his guard.
Xie Xuan was full of sincerity, not only sent Song Beifeng to invite, but also brought a car to send him to Wuyi Lane, the meeting that had been scheduled, Zhou Ning was not good to refuse, and got into the carriage with Liu Yu with a few polite words. Xie Zhongxiu got into another car.
Ouyang Xuan had his own car, and he said goodbye here at the moment, and the carriage drove towards Wuyi Lane in the center of the city.
The last time I went to Zhiyuan, I also walked this road, and the group walked for nearly half an hour and came to Wuyi Lane in the center of Yangzhou.
Wuyi Lane is close to the Slender West Lake, the carriage travels all the way, the blue waves reflect the street scene, just like in the painting, the car crosses the 24 bridges, drives north into an alley, Zhu Lou sandwiches the road, paints the carved beams, is the forbidden street that ordinary people are difficult to enter. As early as a few decades ago, the 'black cloth giant' has become synonymous with the most prominent gate valve of our time.
The servants in the Xie Mansion had already received the news and opened the door to welcome the guests, and the carriage entered the large square in front of the main hall of the Xie Mansion from the main gate that was wide open without stopping, and drove all the way through the evergreen stone pavilion of pines and cypresses, the love evening hall of maple trees, and then the Four Seasons Garden, Qinglu Pavilion, and Cuiliutai......
Along the way, Liu Yu was talking and laughing with Zhou Ning at the beginning, which would only be left dumbfounded. Witnessing the wealth in the Xie Mansion, Liu Yu understood the true essence of the family's lords.
Zhou Ning was also deeply stunned, he was also a person who had seen the world, and he had also seen some luxurious tyrants, who wished that they would even cut down the trees and replace them with gold, but this elegant and wealthy atmosphere could not be compared to them.
The carriage is still moving forward, still looking at each other with pavilions and pavilions along the way, passing by dozens of continuous buildings, and after the landscape, it finally stops in front of a courtyard with "Xuanyi Hall" hanging.
Song Beifeng got out of the car and raised his hand: "Two please." ”
Xie Zhongxiu also got off in another carriage and stood beside him prettyly.
Zhou Ning also calmed down at this time, and he even visited the palace several times in the future, so as not to be frightened by this rich scene.
He patted Liu Yu on the shoulder and brought him back to his senses.
After a while, more than a dozen servants rushed to lead the horses and wait. Song Beifeng took Zhou Ning and Liu Yu through the small stone paths planted on both sides of the green bamboo, and entered the small attic where Xie Xuan's study was located.
Xie Xuan, dressed the same as he saw when he was in Zhiyuan, wearing a plain blue Confucian costume, kneeling on the futon with a tall figure, holding a piece of paper, and looking at it intently.
Song Beifeng said: "Young Master Xuan, Gongzi Zhou has arrived!" Then he silently withdrew from the palace.
Xie Xuan put the paper on the table, took the book with the other hand and suppressed it, looked at him and smiled: "Little Brother Zhou is here, please take a seat, who is this?" ”
Zhou Ning sat down beside Shili, took the tea, and said, "This is my friend Liu Yu." ”
Xie Xuan sighed and said with a smile: "This little brother has a strange skeleton, but it is a good material for practicing martial arts and joining the army. ”
Liu Yu didn't expect this world-shattering Zhilan Yushu to be so approachable, and he also smiled boldly: "Originally, I wanted to join the Beifu Army in the next year, but I didn't expect to follow Zhou Ye by chance." ”
Xie Xuan glanced at Zhou Ning, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's also a good thing, I have learned a little physiognomy from my second uncle, Brother Zhou has an excellent face, and there will be great achievements in the future, Brother Zhou, don't think I'm coaxing you, a trick of being a person, it has a long history, and the sage has a saying that he is in the arts." Ha! Don't look at me with such eyes, my Xie family has always refused to succumb to fixed opinions. There is no difference between the size of the skill itself, and it is an opportunity for a large one, and it is beneficial for a small one. Expanding the exhibition, it can be widely used to cover the rise and fall of the smelter, the climate of heaven, and the human society. ”
Facing Xie Xuan, a super master of talking, Zhou Ning felt that he couldn't come, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xie, don't praise me so much, I'm used to being an ordinary person, and I don't have any big ambitions." ”
Xie Xuan smiled happily: "It doesn't matter if you have great ambitions or not, you must know that destiny is unpredictable.
Xuan returned his gaze to his face, his essence flashed, and he said, "Hey, I haven't seen you for half a month, and Little Brother Zhou is about to achieve innate?" ”
Zhou Ning knew that he couldn't hide it from the first person in the Nine Rank masters, so he bowed his head and said: "Mr. Xie really has good eyesight, and Zhou is just lucky." ”
Xie Xuan glanced at him deeply and said, "Little Brother Zhou is both civil and military, and he is really the best among people, Xie Mou admires you a little." ”
After a pause, he thought about it and said: "It just so happens that Xie also has a little study of Taoist internal strength, from the perspective of Taoism, before a person is born in the mother's body, the fetus's mouth and nose breath is cut off. After birth, the acquired qi enters from the mouth and nose, and the connection with the mother is severed, and the second pulse of Rendu is gradually closed, until it is occluded, and it is difficult to absorb the innate qi. Although the innate true qi still fills the heavens and the earth, it is difficult to absorb it. ”
Zhou Ning knew that Xie Xuan was instructing him, so he was busy concentrating and bowing down to be taught.
Xie Xuan continued: "Therefore, what cultivators cultivate is nothing more than the way to return to their origins, and they must first open up the two veins of Ren Du to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. The so-called 'essence of heaven and earth'. After the future, the heavens will turn to the innate nature, so there are thousands of martial artists in the world, and there is no one who can cultivate the innate ones. ”
Zhou Ning frowned and said, "Then how can we cultivate to the innate level?" ”
Xie Xuan said: "I can see that Brother Zhou's practice is to directly cultivate the congenital, presumably Brother Zhou has also read Zhou Yi, and the Yi hexagram also has the difference between the innate and the acquired, the innate hexagram represents the unjudged heaven and earth, and all things are in chaos, that is, the Tao." In the congenital turn to the day after tomorrow, it is called turning the tide in the hexagram. The true qi in Brother Zhou's body is extremely pure, and it comes from nature, as long as he can cultivate the innate, he will definitely become a rare master master. ”
"Turn things around." Zhou Ning thanked Xie Xuan, and there was a burst of contemplation in his eyes, Xie Xuan's words had vaguely pointed out the way for him to break through the innate realm.
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "That's all for my words, the road to martial arts is extremely difficult and dangerous, and you can only experience it yourself." Oh, by the way, there are two things that have called you over this time. ”
