Chapter 17 The Storm is Coming
Besides, after reading the book, his heart was calm, although he made up his mind a few days ago, sometimes he couldn't help but think about it, but once he handed it over, he was relaxed, because it was useless to think about anything, whether it was good or bad, he could only wait for the result.
After being assassinated many times, he realized that the exercises he practiced were not simple, and there was no comparison between Jinggong and Xinggong, but Wufowl Opera was very different from the popular exercises, and this was only the superficial practice, and the difference in the inner cultivation secrets may be even greater.
After breakfast, he started to practice calligraphy, but now he is not as busy as he was in Nanjing, and he spends more time on calligraphy. In contrast, he still prefers calligraphy to painting, even though he was a high-ranking student at the art academy.
After lunch, he began to meditate, not to practice meditation, but to meditate on various theories in science in silence, and to perceive the mystical things that Chen Musa had felt, which was of course worse than what he had perceived, but it was much better than not being able to perceive anything.
Now he pays more attention to the study of science, after all, he is still the successor of the mantle of the teacher, and it is too unreasonable to delay in getting started in science.
After dinner, he chatted with Zhou Dingcheng, or grinded with Xiao Nier's ears and temples, and sometimes painted, but now he has some scruples about painting, lest he draw any freaks at any time, like the hell picture in his bookcase.
For this painting, he also lost the motivation to continue research, and he couldn't open it at all, so what else was there to study?
When he was about to reach the time, he began to formally practice meditation, once he entered meditation, he didn't have to care about anything, he didn't even need to feel anything, just meditation, this state can not be described by words, it was just a state, and what he needed was to fully integrate into this state.
Whenever this time, the golden dragon in his body began to absorb the starlight, as if the starlight in the sky had been sucked into his body by himself, and he sometimes really wanted to stop and go out to see if the stars outside had lost their light.
Of course, this is just an illusion, in fact, it is impossible, the starry sky is boundless, the starlight is infinite, don't say that it is him, no object can absorb all the starlight in the universe.
The reason for this illusion is that now the golden dragon is absorbing starlight faster and faster, and sometimes it is like a bottomless black hole swallowing whales.
The strange thing is that he only feels the endless starlight like his body, but he doesn't feel anything abnormal on his body, and the golden dragon has not grown up, only after a period of time, he will suddenly notice the slow growth of the golden dragon.
The starlight swallowed by the golden dragon is about eighty percent, and there are two percent that I don't know where, it is estimated that it was sucked by another unknown energy in his body, this strange energy usually does not have any movement, only when it encounters the empty hand or similar stunt of the empty door, it will automatically counterattack, and at the same time expand the space shuttle, to teleport away.
The teleportation didn't happen, but when he was in Fengyang, he was attacked by the top figures of the two major gate masters of the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Gate, so fortunately this energy protected him, otherwise he might really fall into the hands of the enemy.
Now he spends more time practicing meditation, and he doesn't stop until four o'clock in the morning, and although he doesn't sleep all night, he doesn't have the slightest hint of sleepiness.
Of course, it is possible to sit and sleep, and Taoist monks who practice deeply can go decades without sleeping, and just meditate at night, which is said to restore physical strength more than sleeping, and has all kinds of other wonderful uses, which makes sense in principle. After all, sleep is only a means for the human body and brain to rest, especially the recovery of brain power mainly depends on sleep, but the average person's sleep is rarely of high quality, even if you fall asleep, the cranial nerves are still active, and dreaming is the most common phenomenon.
There is a saying that a saint has no dreams, and a fool has no dreams.
Those who really sleep and don't dream, except for saints, are fools.
Although the cranial nerves cannot be said to be completely at rest, they remain in a very, very low state of activity, which is almost negligible.
This is the principle that sleep is better than sleep, and it can completely replace sleep, and it is not a myth and legend.
Besides, he has not yet reached the high level of entering the Ding, he does not dare, if you want to enter the Ding, you need to find a very secluded valley, the environment is very demanding, there is no noisy voice, no chickens and dogs barking, of course, the wolf howls and the tiger roars, so that you can enter the Ding, otherwise you will be disturbed by the outside noise, and it is very likely to go crazy.
Moreover, even if you can barely use meditation instead of meditation instead of meditation instead of sleeping, you can't achieve the profound realization that the practitioner is entering the meditation time, and the practitioner's meditation is not to save trouble, not to sleep, but to comprehend life and experience the ultimate avenue of the world.
"What's wrong with you in the past two days, you're surprisingly quiet, you really want to learn ascetics?" Zhou Dingcheng worries about him every day, not wanting to be like he is fine, but instead working harder on his cultivation.
"And what do you think I can do?" Besides, he asked rhetorically.
Zhou Dingcheng thought about it and couldn't speak, besides, there was really nothing to do, except to run away, but it was too early to run, and there was no movement in the imperial court.
"Why is there no movement at all, why don't you go to Lord Zhang's mansion to inquire?" Zhou Dingcheng still felt a little hairy in his heart.
"If there was any movement, Master Zhang would have come to me a long time ago, and he would have allowed me to practice at home? It is estimated that the fold was left by the emperor and not sent. ”
Besides, it is estimated that it may be that after the emperor saw it, he felt that it was worthless to send it to the ministers for discussion, or the difference between the recital and the emperor's opinion was too great, so he simply deducted it or threw it away, of course, there would be no movement in such a recital.
Of course, the recitals played by the ministers are recorded in the General Administration Department, and whether the emperor has approved it or not, whether it has been returned as it is, are all recorded in the book. For those recitals that the emperor did not approve or send back, it was indicated: Stay in China and not send them.
In the twenty-four histories, there are many places where there are these four words, which shows that this trick is a long-standing old tradition.
Besides, this is what he is most afraid of, if this is the case, it means that he has failed to throw stones to ask for directions, and the stones thrown out do not fall on the road, but fall into the pool, and there is no response.
In this way, his plan to test the emperor's mind fell through.
"What are you doing again, are you so honest?"
When he returned to his room in the evening, Xiao Nier asked him.
"What kind of words are these, I didn't go to the house to uncover the tiles when I didn't make trouble." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
"No, something is wrong with you these days, you must have been in trouble, and you know that you are in trouble, and now I am waiting for this result to come to you."
Xiao Nier has an extraordinary keen insight into what's going on, and often when there is a slight wave in her heart, she perceives it, but she can't perceive what happened, which is called knowing what it is, not knowing why.
"It's okay, I just gave the emperor a twist and asked the imperial court to relax the sea ban and allow the people to do business overseas." Besides.
"That's nothing, it's a good thing to do business, the emperor will definitely agree, didn't Second Brother Zhao say that the emperor's family is also short of silver?" Xiao Nier doesn't understand the meaning of letting go of the sea ban at all, but she just thinks that it's always right to do business, for example, aren't Zhou Wenbin's family and Zuo Ling all trading to make a fortune?
"The emperor's family is not short of silver, but the country needs silver." Besides, the corrective way.
"Isn't the country the emperor's family, what's the difference?" Xiao Nier wondered.
"The emperor's family refers to the emperor's family in the palace, including the eunuchs and palace maids, the country is the whole country, these two are different, the emperor's small family will not lack silver, but the country is very short of silver." Besides, she was idle, so she decided to give her a political and economic lesson.
"Oh, that's the case, I always thought that the country belonged to the emperor's family." Xiao Nier answered, and she didn't care, where did she have the heart to care about the relationship between everyone's small family.
On the evening of the fifth day, just after eating, one of Zhang Juzheng's staff members rushed in, and when he saw it, he took off the fur hat on his head, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said: "Little brother, what have you done, hurry up and follow me, the adults want to see you." ”
"Want to see me?" Besides, he stood up and said.
"I don't see who you see, brother, I'll tell you first, I'm a little mentally prepared, my lord is angry, I've been working in the adult shogunate for a few years, and I've never seen an adult get so angry." The staff gasped.
"Got it." Besides, he quickly got dressed, and hurried out with his staff.
Zhou Dingcheng also got dressed and followed, Xiao Nier was a little frightened and ran behind.
"You don't have to go, don't worry, I'm going to Lord Zhang, it'll be fine, I'll be back in a while." Besides, he hurriedly stopped Xiao Nier.
"There is no big thing, just wait to be scolded." The staff said hatefully.
Besides, sticking out his tongue is completely inappropriate.
After going out, besides, he and Zhou Dingcheng got into the carriage, and the staff came in a sedan chair, and the three of them hurried to Zhang Juzheng's mansion together.
The two families are not far apart, and they usually go to Zhang's mansion on foot back and forth, not by car at all, since the staff came by sedan chair, he has no reason to walk.
When he came to Zhang's mansion, the staff took him to Zhang Juzheng's study, and then stopped: "Go in by yourself, be careful, you will listen to the adults scolding you, the adults seem to be in the court today because you are also scolded." ”
"Your Excellency has also been scolded? Who scolded? "Besides, I was stunned, how could this matter involve Zhang Juzheng, this is not a good phenomenon.
"Go, hurry up, my lord waits." The staff pushed him from behind.
Besides, he walked up the steps, walked into the room in a few steps, and saw Zhang Juzheng sitting upright on a Taishi chair covered with mink, his face was really blue.
"I've seen adults in my late life." Besides, come forward to meet each other.
"Well, Yunming, you are not small, old man, I have lost my eyes?" Zhang Juzheng looked at him and said with a gloomy face.
Besides, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, please give me advice." ”
"Teaching? I don't dare to do it. ”
Zhang Juzheng accentuated his tone, stood up sharply, and paced back and forth on the ground for a few steps.
