Chapter 424: On Techniques 2
"The Tao is the way, the Tao is very good." Kong Qiu replied, hearing Wang Tian ask this, he stared at Wang Tian curiously, as if he wanted to see where he came from. But after looking at it for a while, he still didn't see where Wang Tian came from. So he replied to Wang Tian in the words of the Heavenly Sage Li Boyang, before this, the Three Sages of Heaven, Earth and Man had communicated, and they communicated with each other.
However, Wang Tian knew that his answer was equivalent to not saying anything. To put it bluntly, this sentence is a perfunctory answer, and ordinary disciples will stop asking questions when they encounter this kind of attitude.
"Then may I ask Master, what is the technique?" Wang Tian finally asked this question.
"The technique is in harmony with the Tao, the Tao is before the operation, and the 'Dao' is unknown, how can you know the technique?" Kongqiu replied. It means that you don't even know the Tao, so what are you talking about? He also said a famous saying before: "Unknown life, unknown death?" ”
That is to say: the affairs of the living have not yet been clarified, and how to behave while they are alive have not yet been understood, so how can we have time to study the affairs of the dead and what to do for the dead? Since you don't even know the Tao, how can you talk about art? In fact, what he said is also very reasonable, the Tao and the art are complementary to each other, the Tao is like a carrier, without this carrier, even if you learn the art of the best, the foundation will not be stable.
However, this situation is only for others, and Wang Tian's understanding of the Tao has now reached a very high level, and there are similarities with the human saint Kongqiu in many places. That's why he was interested in staying here and asking Confucius for advice. And the reason why Kong Qiu said this is also because he doesn't know much about Wang Tian. If he knew that Wang Tian had comprehended so much, he would be completely happy to discuss the technique with Wang Tian.
As he said, 'It's a pleasure to have friends from afar.' ’
"The boy came today when he heard the name of the master, and he looked at it and made people feel that the mountains were looking up and the scenery was stopped. I beg to stay here for a night, and I hope that the Master will grant permission. Wang Tian said. Since this is not the place to talk about arts, then wait for these disciples to leave. Talk to him about it yourself.
"Since you've come from afar, it's not impossible to spend the night." Kong Qiu said very kindly, he is also very kind to people, although Wang Tian's question is a little abrupt, but he is not angry.
With Wang Tian's interruption, this conversation between teachers and students ended quickly. Many of Kongqiu's disciples had their own things to do and left halfway through. By the end of the evening, it was almost gone. Of course, there are several disciples who live with him, and some of them are still taking care of his daily life and diet.
Many of these disciples were very famous, such as Zigong. Gongsun Long, Zi Lu, Zi Xia and others.
Night.
The bright moonlight shone on the academy, and a table was set up in the courtyard. On the table are a variety of delicacies, including bacon and fresh preserved fruits. The bacon is usually marinated by them, and Zigong's technique of marinating bacon is very good, and these are all from him. Fresh preserved fruits were given by the peasant disciples, and once they had harvested the vegetables and fruits, they would send them to their esteemed teachers.
Wang Tian knew that Kong Qiu paid great attention to food. He once said, 'You don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of being fine', which shows how much he cares about the quality of life. However, in his opinion, cultivation is more important than diet. Because when he practiced his piano skills, he used to 'not know the taste of meat in March'
Several people sat down as guests of honor, and no one spoke during the meal, and they all ate with their heads bored. Confucius had a rule that he couldn't talk while eating. Because he said that he doesn't say anything when he eats, and he doesn't say anything when he sleeps.
It was only after eating that they began to talk. Wang Tian. Kong Qiu, along with several of his disciples, sat together, and Wang Tian decided to discuss the art with them under the moonlight.
"May I ask what kind of Tao the master is cultivating?" Wang Tian asked.
"Three thousand drowning, I will only take one scoop to drink." Kongqiu replied. There are three thousand avenues, and he only cultivates one. After saying this, he said specifically: "I practice the way of Kundi, and the way of Kundi is people-oriented. ”
The conversation between them is just ordinary talk, so there is no need to speak classical Chinese.
He cultivated the way of Kundi, and his previous words had already revealed clues. That's the sentence - the husband, dig it to get the sweet spring, the tree to get the grain, the birds, beasts, fish and turtles are born, and the death is to enter the world.
At the beginning of chaos, the chaotic second steam was divided into turbid two steams. The clear air rises to the sky, and the turbid air descends to the earth. He cultivates the way of Kundi, so his path is very down-to-earth. That's why he is so amiable, and some of the famous words he says are also very close to reality. And what Wang Tian was about to cultivate was the Qi of Chaos, which included both the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Kundi.
And the way of nature, and the way of killing belong to one of the ways of heaven, and Kong Qiu cannot help him in this regard. But in terms of the way of Kundi, he was helpful to Wang Tian, because after all, he was a human saint, and his comprehension of the way of Kundi was very deep.
"Then what is the art of Kundi?" Wang Tian asked.
When Wang Tian asked this sentence, Zigong and Zilu next to him looked at Wang Tian with strange eyes. Art is a person's secret, how can it be easily told to others? They felt that Wang Tian was like this, it was really unreasonable.
"The art of Kundi, the virtue of carrying things, one said: walking on frost and ice, the second said: the light of the tunnel, the third said: yellow clothes, and the fourth said: Yongzhen ......" Kong Qiu said. His words have already said several supernatural powers that he knows. That is, the skills he knows, and being able to tell Wang Tian about his skills, has already shown his open-mindedness. Otherwise, how can it be called the mountains and the scenery?
Of course, just suing Wang Tian about his supernatural powers, Wang Tian couldn't understand them at once. Because the Tao comes first and the art comes later, it is impossible to comprehend the art without comprehending the way.
But since he said it, Wang Tian will also remember it. Perhaps in the future, he will comprehend these supernatural powers of his. Wang Tian not only had to comprehend his supernatural powers, but also developed these supernatural powers, because what Wang Tian comprehended was not the way of Kundi, but the way of chaos. The way of Kundi is only a part of it, and it cannot be generalized.
After talking to him again, Wang Tian knew that his cultivation was "Xuanhuang Qi Jue", the dragon fought in the wild, and the qi and blood were Xuanhuang. Huang Shang Yuanji, Bang Jia Yining.
Of course, he wouldn't show this secret to Wang Tian, because they had just met him, and it was impossible to give it to him. Wang Tian didn't bring it up either, because that was really inappropriate. However, as long as Wang Tian knows some details, he can deduce some according to the name of his supernatural powers, who said that his current wisdom is already so high.
"Then may I ask Master, what is the technique of cleansing?" Wang Tian asked again. He wanted to cultivate the Qi of Chaos, so he had to understand both the Kundi Technique and the Qianqing Technique, so he raised this question.
"You should ask another sage, Li Boyang," Kong Qiu replied. Li Boyang is also one of the three saints, the 'heavenly saint' surname is Li Ming'er, and the word Boyang. Also known as Lao Tzu. Confucius had also discussed with him before, and had asked him many questions, all of which were satisfactorily answered.
Of course, this can't be said that he is inferior to Li Boyang, it's just that the two have different cultivation paths. In fact, for a strong person at their level, the first and most important thing is the Tao, and the second is the technique.
"And where does he live?" Wang Tian asked.
"Bird, I know it can fly; Fish, I know it can swim; Beast, I know it can go. The walker can be bound with a net, the swimmer can use a hook to catch it, the flyer can use an arrow to catch it, and as for the dragon, I don't know why. The dragon rode the wind and clouds to the nine heavens! What I have seen Lao Tzu is also like a dragon? The knowledge is deep and unfathomable, and the ambition is high but difficult to know; Like a snake bending and stretching at any time, like a dragon changing at the right time. Kongqiu replied.
Well, listening to his answer, Wang Tian was very speechless. What he meant was that Li Boyang's whereabouts were uncertain and difficult to find, like a dragon that could not see the end. It's good if you just say no, and you still want to drag the text here? Wang Tianqi slandered.
didn't know that Kong Qiu's words were full of his respect for Li Boyang, in fact, the three saints respected each other, and the relationship between them was very good, and there was no intrigue.
"In that case, I'm going to bother for two more days." Wang Tian said.
He thought in his heart, since he had such a great opportunity to meet the human saint, of course he couldn't let it go lightly, and he stayed here for three days and spent it here. Although it is absolutely impossible to extract the cultivation secrets and methods from him, it will be beneficial to have more contact. Maybe you can find out some clues from some details, and you can study some cultivation methods based on these details.
Originally, it was also a very important thing for him to go to Li Boyang, but Kong Qiu also said that this person Shenlong did not see the head and the end, and he wanted to find him in these only three days, and ask him to discuss the Tao and the arts, and it was too late. Only when I find an opportunity next time, Wang Tian thought in his heart.
Wang Tian now knew the benefits of this copy of the second turn certificate for himself, not only could he understand this world, but he could also find things related to his own cultivation. Why don't you wait until next time to stop fighting the boss and find three saints to discuss with them?
Although after Wang Tian obtained the certificate of the second turn, after the second turn, he could still enter the quest 'The Gods Are Thirsty', and this quest was also from this period. But for the Tao and the arts; The more you know, the better it will be for you. Because once you turn the second time, you can cultivate the chaotic qi. If you don't even have a thorough comprehension of the Dao aspect, it is very likely that something will go wrong when cultivating the chaotic qi.
So in this regard, he felt that it was better to understand it first. The system allowed him to stay for three days while typing a dungeon, which shows that she has a reason. (To be continued......)
