Chapter 5 Quiet and inaction
When the sun rose, Gao Ye had already taken Guo Jia and Zhao Yun to finish practicing boxing. I have to say that Zhao Yun is indeed a wizard who practices martial arts, but in January, Guo Jia only barely remembered all kinds www.biquge.info of moves, but Zhao Yun already had the intention of flowing water. It's just that his original boxing skills were too strong, so that there was still a trace of restraint in his movements, and he didn't completely reach the realm of turning freely.
Gao Ye looked at Zhao Yun and nodded secretly, but when he saw Guo Jia, he was congested. Not to mention the freedom of the circle, just this clumsiness of having to stop and think about the next move after one move, I can't wait to beat him up in the night. Looking at the subset of scriptures and history, you can almost never forget it, practicing martial arts, and remembering a move is just like a fatality.
"Zilong, you Tai Chi is really good practice. Your moves have been proficient, but your original fist and foot kung fu is too strong, and the moves are sharp and angular, and you haven't been able to appreciate the meaning of Tai Chi's circle and turn. Speaking of this, Gao Ye couldn't help but think of Mr. Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhang Wuji secretly learned Taijiquan, and when he made up Xiaodao Tong and Ah San, Zhang Sanfeng also commented on Zhang Wuji's Taijiquan, and then pointed out the essence of Taijiquan, which made Zhang Wuji completely comprehend.
Immediately, Gao Ye brought out the original words in Mr. Jin's article: "Zilong, you have to remember that the intention is not forceful, the Tai Chi is round, and there is no way to break it." When the opportunity is right, the opponent will cut off his roots. One move and one style, it must be carried out in a series of ways, such as the Yangtze River, gushing endlessly. ”
Zhao Yun should be, so he carefully pondered these words on the side, and while pondering, he fought again. Gao Ye nodded, and it was really better than just now. Gao Ye turned to look at Guo Jia, and said helplessly: "Fengxiao, what are you practicing here?" I remember talking about it on the first day, the trick of this Tai Chi is to strengthen the void spirit, pull the back with the chest, loosen the waist and hang the hips, and sink the shoulders and elbows. And purely with intentions, the most taboo force, to form and God in one. Look at you again, what did you do? When you are studying, it is not difficult to remember it, but it is so difficult to memorize a few moves......"
"I am willing to study, and I am not forced to practice martial arts! Look at Zilong, he is so good at martial arts, and he is not as good as me in reading! ”
"Still talking back! You're obviously not careful, I don't think you can get good this month. ”
"Senior brother, you are clearly a bully! Zilong is a genius who practices martial arts, I am a weak and talented man, what kind of martial arts do I practice! ”
"You have to practice! Do you still want to take a book from my study? Besides, I don't ask you to be invincible in the world, but you must be able to deal with one or two thieves. Gao Ye said, Zhao Yun happened to finish a set of Tai Chi, Gao Ye said: "Zilong, you still have a problem with this Tai Chi, this fist strength is first and foremost like loose and not loose, will not be shown, and the strength will continue, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, big brother."
"Hmm. But Zilong, you are indeed talented in practicing martial arts, even for my brother I am much inferior, but your books should also be read carefully, don't just read military books, other classics, how much you have to see, in this regard, you can ask your second brother for advice, as for your second brother's martial arts, you also give more guidance. Bonghyo, did you hear that? ”
"Yes, big brother." Guo Jia said with a crying voice.
"The day after tomorrow, it's time to test your learning results for this month, you two, prepare well." Gao Yesen smiled, "If you can't get it, there is no reward, if you are not qualified, hehe, see how I punish you." ”
"Don't, big brother, aren't you bullying!"
"This assessment, for the sake of the first time, the eldest brother will delineate a range for you, Wenma, just take the "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu", and Wuma, just take the Taijiquan test. Fengxiao, as far as your current Taijiquan is unqualified, practice it well. Ha ha! ”
After Guo Jia heard this, he looked like he was about to cry.
But at this moment, the housekeeper came to tell him that two Taoist priests had come from outside the door to ask for a meeting. Gao Ye frowned, and wondered in his heart, whether it was the master or himself, he had nothing to do with Taoism in the past, not to mention that now that the Taiping Dao is booming, Gao Ye knows that this Taiping Dao is going to fail in the uprising, how can he let his people have more contact with them? Now that two Taoist priests have come, don't be people from Taiping Dao who want to win us over, it will be a big trouble at that time.
Then he asked, "Two Taoist priests?" But the people of the Peace? ”
"It doesn't seem to be, I saw the people of Taiping Dao in Wuyuan City, although they claim to be Taoists, but in fact they are just peddlers and pawns. But the two people who came today are really a group of fairy bones, which is very different from what I usually see. Otherwise, I won't come to inform the lord. ”
"Huh? Could it be other masters of Taoism? Gao Ye said to himself, "Well, then I'll go and meet them, Uncle Zhang, and ask them to wait in the lobby, and I'll be there shortly." By the way, the last time I asked Lao Zhou and them to go to Jiangnan, I brought some fresh tea back, and it has been almost a month, so I guess I will be back soon, right? And the last time I told you, let your nephew come to me, he hasn't arrived yet? ”
"Lord Lao is concerned, the old man has written back, count the days, the kid thinks that he will come in a few days. As for Lao Zhou, he came back yesterday evening, but it was too late when he came back, so he didn't report it. ”
"Well, if that kid from your family arrives, just come to me. Also, call Lao Zhou, Lao Wang, and these shopkeepers who are still at home come at night to listen to their reports and calculate their family background; Second, I have some things to discuss with them. Again, at night I called the carpenter and blacksmith of the house to come to my yard, and I had something to tell them to do. ”
"Yes, my lord."
"Hmm." Gao Ye nodded, looked back at Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, Zilong, I will go to meet these two Taoist masters, and the two of you can rest if you have practiced for enough hours." Zilong, teach your second brother well. ”
"Yes," the two replied in unison.
Gao Ye then came to the front hall, only to see that the two Taoists were already sitting there waiting. However, this scene made Gao Ye feel a little awkward, but this awkwardness, Gao Ye didn't know why for a while. However, this did not prevent Gao Ye's scene from speaking, and the two Taoist priests also got up to say hello. After the greetings, Gao Ye realized that the two Taoist priests who came could be regarded as famous. The Taoist who is in his thirties and has a glance is the famous Zuo Ci. And that fourteen or fifteen-year-old little Taoist priest is the famous Ge Xuan. Of course, their fame is now only Gao Ye's opinion. After all, how could a person from the next generation not know Zuo Yuanfang, who threw a cup and played Cao Cao. And Ge Xuan, in the future, will eventually become the patriarch of the Lingbao sect of Taoism, calling himself a Taiji immortal. If there will be Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun and Sa Shoujian in Taoism in the future, maybe the four of them will be regarded as the Four Heavenly Masters by Taoism. It's just that the two of them are far from being famous, just ordinary Taoist priests.
After the greetings were over, Gao Ye asked about the intention of the two. After all, he has never intersected with Taoist people, and it is indeed a strange thing to be suddenly approached.
Zuo Ci laughed, as if he didn't laugh a few times, so he couldn't express his kindness. After laughing, he took a package from Ge Xuan's hand and handed it to Gao Ye, saying: "I originally traveled the world with my apprentices, and Bo Jiaogong came to Wuhui the year before last, and often talked with Lao Dao, he knew that I wanted to do it, so he asked me to bring these things." ”
When Gao Ye heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was not the people of Taiping Dao who came to woo him to join the gang, fortunately! However, this burden, whether it is big or not, is not small, and after Gao Ye respectfully accepted it, he put it aside first, after all, it is an extremely rude act to open it in person.
"Bo Jiaogong originally asked me to visit your teacher, he has praised me many times, your teacher is a great talent in the world, and also said that you are also a dragon and phoenix among people, but I never thought that I heard when I entered the door, your teacher has passed away, sad. However, the deceased has no king above and no subordinate below; There is no matter of the four seasons, and the heaven and earth are always the spring and autumn, although the south Wang Le, can not pass. It's also a pleasure. ”
What Zuo Ci said really made Gao Ye a little heartbroken. The first half of the sentence is sad, but it still seems like human words, and the second half of the sentence is happy, and Gao Ye is really a little difficult to agree. After all, in the era of living in the first half of his life, filial piety is definitely a value recognized by the whole nation, who has someone who has passed away to do white things, do you dare to say that this is a good thing, and he must not offend his whole family to death? And this is also quoting scriptures, fortunately, Gao Ye has read Zhuangzi in both his previous life and this life, and the article "Zhuangzi Zhile" is very well-known, so how could he not know this skeleton that gave Zhuangzi a dream?
Gao Ye couldn't help but think of his master's care and care for him over the years. He is just a middle-aged person, but the master loves him very much, he is just an ordinary student on the assembly line of the later generations, but he has learned countless wisdom from the master, such a master is gone, even if he is the king of the south after death, how can you make me happy for him?
"The family teacher immortal goes, in the next is really sad, one hates can not do the teacher in the chest of the ravine, the second hate can not do the filial piety of the family teacher kneeling down in front of the seat, three hate can not repay the family teacher to raise the grace, the family teacher is happy between heaven and earth, I am also sad and sad. In addition, "Zhuangzi" also says: "Observe its beginning and have no life, not in vain and without life and formless, and not in vain and formless." Mixed between the mang, change and gas, gas change and form, change and life, now and change and die, is the phase and for the spring, autumn, winter and summer four seasons also. Doesn't this contradict the skull? I heard that Mr. Wujiao, you have cultivated the Tao since childhood, and the Tao is profound, what is the explanation? Gao Ye smiled faintly, this passage is also from "Zhuangzi Zhile", it is about the death of Zhuangzi's wife, Huizi came to worship, found Zhuangzi singing happily, and then had such a dialogue.
It's just that Gao Ye said this, but there was no trace of unhappiness. Although I didn't like this at first glance, I also knew that the purpose of the second half of what Zuo Ci said was more to relieve himself. The deceased is at ease and happy in another world, is this also a frequent episode in the later life? It's just that in the study of previous years, every time my master spoke, he quoted scriptures, and most of them didn't know that they wanted to learn from him to quote scriptures, but they found that most of the allusions they knew had not happened. After this embarrassment lasted for so many years, Gao Ye had a natural rejection of everyone who spoke to him and quoted scriptures. Therefore, I threw out this question, intending to embarrass this Taoist master.
After saying that, Zuo Ci's face did not change much, but Ge Xuan on the side frowned. I have read "Zhuangzi" myself, and every time I finish reading it, I seem to have an understanding, but I have never thought about this problem! Strange, why haven't I noticed this inconsistency?
Zuo Ci chuckled and said: "I didn't expect Mingxi that you also know "Zhuangzi", yes, these two words are what Zhuangzi said, but what Huizi said, it is intended to indicate the fate of the dead, which is formless and airless, so that it is born, and then it is death, it is also formless and airless. The words with the skeleton are just to tell the world that life may not be happy, and death may not be bitter, so how can there be a contradiction? ”
"Haha, life may not be happy, death may not be bitter, it really makes sense." Gao Ye smiled faintly. "But I've heard that Taoist people pay more attention to quiet and inaction, and go with the flow, but Zhang Lu of Wudoumi and Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road are widely accepted by believers, thinking that they are for their own use, I don't know what Mr. Wujiao thinks about this?"
The reason why Gao Ye asked Zuo Ci about Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu was only because he suddenly thought that if Zhang Jiao rebelled in the future, would there also be a shadow of Taoism in it. After all, before Confucianism was respected, the Han Dynasty had always governed the country with Taoism and implemented the art of Huang Lao, and now it is dominated by Confucianism, I'm afraid that Taoism is not comfortable, right? Zhang Lu is now vigorously promoting the Five Buckets of Rice Road in Sichuan, there are many believers, and the rule is mostly carried out in the name of religion, which is no wonder that after Liu Yan entered Sichuan, he rejected Zhang Lu so much, and even drove him to Hanzhong, after all, Liu Yan is an orthodox Confucian. And Zhang Jiao, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes him as a non-first talent, if it was after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he should have been a candidate who failed the imperial examination, but now it is the end of the Han Dynasty, what is the imperial examination, I am afraid that only Gao Ye knows, now only the imperial examination of his grandfather inspection system, so Gao Ye seems to be afraid that Zhang Jiao, who is not the first talent, I am afraid that he was not selected when he was a showman. But now it's not called Xiucai, in order to avoid Emperor Wu's ridicule, Xiucai was renamed Maocai.
This is even more strange, since he is qualified to be promoted, this shows that Zhang Jiao is talented and learned. Since the exclusive respect for Confucianism, the people who show off their talents are basically Confucians. In this case, why did this Nanhua old immortal pass on to him the three volumes of "Taiping Technique"? Gao Ye is not afraid to think of people's hearts more evilly, "Taiping Yaoshu" mostly records the religious elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang, five elements, ten branches, disasters, and immortals, plus many medical prescriptions are recorded in it, Zhang Jiao relies on this to win people's hearts, plus Confucianism to help the world, it is strange that ambition is not inflated. When you think about it this way, it seems that there are more conclusions of conspiracy than coincidences.
"Tranquility has always been regarded as a guideline by my Taoists. Zhang Gongqi is in Shuzhong, controlling the people with Taoism, and Shuzhong is governing. Although I don't know Zhang Jiao, now he is walking in the world, curing diseases and saving people, and preaching Taoism, this is a supreme merit, and Mingxi thinks something is wrong? ”
"I just think that this horn now has hundreds of thousands of believers, and I am afraid that one day I will rebel." Gao Ye smiled faintly.
"I came all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, and the villages I saw, the villagers were not hungry, and when I passed through Henan, the epidemic was rampant, and Zhang Jiao was full of Fu Shui, saving the lives of the people, so that there would naturally be more believers. The court is excessive, treacherous and rampant, tyrannical, oppressive and good, and naturally rebels. Zhang Jiao is also in line with current affairs, and he is also a person who is in peace with the times. My Taoist inaction is not to do nothing, but not to force myself to do it, everything is just natural. Mingxi's thinking is really biased. ”
Speaking of which, if Gao Ye still doesn't understand, all of this is promoted by Taoism behind him, and he is too sorry for the teacher's teachings. What a one, go with the flow!
"Haha, I see, that's really my understanding. Don't talk about this, I've ordered someone to prepare a feast, two, let's have a feast first. ”
"I often hear Bo Jiao say that the food here in Mingxi is delicious in the world, even if it is easy to be reborn, it can't be compared. Today is coming, and naturally it is a must-try. ”
"Haha, that's natural, it's best to have a appetite under it, my junior brother is the best to have sweet wine, it just so happened that I got a few new urns of wine a few days ago, just ask the Taoist to taste it." After Gao Ye said that, he stood up, ordered a banquet, and ordered someone to call Guo Jia and Zhao Yun to come to meet together.
