[Wang Yangming and his classmates shared the path of enlightenment; Gezhu fainted for seven days and ended in failure. 】

So we started flipping through the books again.

Qian Mingkun pointed to the fifth chapter of "University Chapters and Sentences" and said: "Look at this sentence. ”

I looked at the six words: "that is, things and exhaust their reason".

I also turned to the volume of "University or Question" and said, "Look at this sentence. ”

Qian Mingkun probed and said: "That is, the principle of the exhaustion of things is to seek the so-called theorem of things and things." ”

But how do you start? We started to flip through the book again, I discovered it first, this sentence is actually said by Mr. Xiao Cheng Cheng Yi, it is such a sentence: "All things must be fine and coarse, every grass and tree, all of which are reasonable." ”

My eyes lit up, and I said to Qian Mingkun: "Every grass and tree is reasonable." We have a lot of bamboo, let's go, starting tomorrow, we will go to the bamboo. ”

We jumped for joy.

So the next day, we started to Gezhu, and it happened that during this time, my father was not in Beijing, so I realized the Tao.

At the beginning, Qian Mingkun and I were very interested, but on the third day, Qian Mingkun fainted, and this kid's physique was too poor.

I ignored him and continued to take the bamboo, and on the seventh day, I was in a trance, first two of me appeared, and then the past flashed through my mind like lightning. Next, the two of me started fighting.

The white-clothed man said, "I have had magical legends since I was a child, and my ancestors are also magical, and I will be able to understand the Great Way." ”

I laughed wildly in black and said, "You saw it with your own eyes?" It's all the ignorance of the villagers, and they just spread false rumors. ”

I insisted, "I will have the way." ”

I sighed in black: "Even if you can attain the Tao, today or in the next life, the Buddha has gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers before he can realize the Tao under the Bodhi tree, you are better than the Buddha?" ”

I cried out in white, "I want to understand the way of the sages." ”

I smiled in black and said: "Wake up, Confucius only learned "Yi" at the age of fifty, and later Wei compiled the three uniques into the "Ten Wings", you are better than Confucius?" ”

I'm a little out of confidence in white.

I have to inch in the black, "Then you said that you have a grid of seven days of bamboo, what do you have to do it?" Tell me about it! ”

I was speechless in white, and I kept saying in black, "Are you sure you are a saint seed?" Are you sure you understood the words of the saint correctly? ”

My head was swollen in white and I shouted, "Shut up! Don't talk to me. ”

I didn't care about the black-clothed man, and continued: "The sage said: 'Every grass and tree is reasonable'. This bamboo is neither grass nor wood, you two fools, you have chosen the wrong goal, you have started from the beginning, from the beginning. ”

I was in tears in white, "Oh my God, did I misunderstand, or did I not have the talent?" Or is it not the right time? Who told me, who told me! ”

I only heard me laugh wildly in black, and I desperately plugged my ears with my hands in white, but my laughter in black came and went, and I couldn't stand it anymore and fainted on the spot.

When I woke up, my father was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me with his head shaking his head and asking me, "What are you doing?" ”

I weakly told my father about the process of Gewu to Gezhu, and then sighed: "The sages can't do it, so there is no need to spend a lot of experience to go to Gewu." ”

The father smiled and said, "You are fooling around, your method is the way of playing Zen and Taoism, and Confucianism is not such a thing." ”

I asked, "What about Confucianism?" ”

My father turned Zhu Zi's book to me, and in Zhu Zi's letter to Chen Qizhong, he said, "And now for this reason, I have learned not to exhaust the principles of heaven, to understand people, to speak holy words, and to be sophisticated. ”

Then, my father said to me, "The key to learning things is to be 'poor, to be reasonable, to be reasonable, to speak the holy word, and to be sophisticated.'" ”

I couldn't help but say: "Father, no matter what, the core is still 'Mingmingde', and the purpose of Gewu is also 'Mingmingde', Mingde is unknown, what is the use of Gewu?" Everything else is a lie, enlightenment is the reason, is the enlightenment, may I ask the father, what is the heavenly principle? What is the Avenue? ”

The father opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he couldn't say a word, so he sighed and turned to go out.

I lie in bed and think to myself, if the Tao is not clear, everything is false, but where is the Tao? Am I sanctified? I thought to myself of my legend, and thought, maybe I can't get through Confucianism, maybe I can't get through from Buddhism and Taoism, "the stone of the mountain can attack the jade".

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, thirty-one-year-old Wang Yangming returned to his hometown Yuyao and built a room in Yangming Cave in Siming Mountain.

This Yangming Cave is in the sun of Siming Mountain, so it is called Yangming. The mountain is 18,000 zhang high, one hundred and ten miles on Tuesday, and the ninth cave of Taoism.

There are two hundred and eighty peaks, among which the peak is called Furong Peak, there is Han Li carved stone on it, and it is said that "Siming Mountain Heart". There is a stone window on its right, and the four sides are exquisitely like a house, and the light of the sun, moon and stars is passed.

Wang Yangming loved its scenery and lived in seclusion. Because of his self-proclaimed Yangming.

At this moment, Wang Yangming was practicing Taoist Neidan Kung Fu in the grass hall, and before he practiced, his thoughts were tumbling again

……

It is said that my father has been quite prosperous all the way since he won the title in the seventeenth year of Xianzong. First, he was awarded the Hanlin Academy in that year, and in the twentieth year of Chenghua, only three years, he was awarded the palace test to seal the official.

This official is the official who is responsible for pasting the names of the candidates who take the temple examination with paper and writing the number.

In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, another three years passed, when my father was forty-two years old, and I was exactly sixteen years old, that is, the year I realized the Tao. This year, my father served as the chief examiner of the examination.

The so-called general examination refers to the central examination that brings people from various provinces to the capital. The candidates who passed the examination were called "Gongshi", and at this time my father was already quite famous, but I didn't expect that only a year later, my father would become an emperor in the real sense.

In this year, Emperor Chenghua died, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne and changed the yuan to "Hongzhi".

The emperor of this dynasty was a rare gentle and elegant emperor, he was generous and benevolent, thrifty, not approachable, diligent in political affairs, attached importance to justice, opened his words, expelled traitors, worked hard to reverse the corruption of the imperial court, and appointed Wang Shu, Liu Daxia and other upright ministers, quite a prosperous atmosphere. It must have something to do with my father.

Because, in the first year of Hongzhi, my father won the honor to participate in the compilation of "Xianzong Record", which is a great honor, much better than ordinary historians.

Not only that, but in the same year, he served as a lecturer at the scripture banquet, responsible for teaching and reading scriptures to the emperor, and became an emperor in the true sense.

I'm seventeen years old. On this day, when I came home from private school, I listened to my father and stepmother chatting, and I went to the window and listened.

I only heard my father say: "It has been six years since Bo'an arrived in Beijing, and I mean let him go back to his hometown." ”

The stepmother said, "Bo'an is studying at a critical moment, how can he give up? ”

When I heard this, a warm current welled up in my heart, and it seemed that my stepmother was really good to me.
