Chapter 25: Tai Chi
Just when Yuan Shu was at a loss, he heard Lei Zhen's voice, "This place is very suitable for your wife!"
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced in his heart, "You mean that you can put Li Yun's grave here?"
"This is a natural Tai Chi Feng Shui pattern. You have also seen the Taiji diagram in the Tao Sutra, so tell me about your understanding of yin and yang!" Lei Zhen asked.
Yuan Shu recalled the Taiji diagram he saw in the book! A circle on the Taiji diagram is divided into black and white, representing yin and yang. Because their shape is more like a fish, they are also called yin fish in the black part and yang fish in the white part. There is a small circle in each of the yin and yang fish to represent the yin and yang eyes! the black yin eye is in the yang fish, and the white yang eye is in the yin fish. So, he said, "Tai Chi is divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang rotate and grow and disappear with each other!"
Lei Zhen waited for a while, only to find that Yuan Shu only had one sentence, "Many people have said what you said, do you have your own unique understanding?"
Yuan Shu thought about it again and again, and then held back another sentence, "Yin and Yang are opportunities for movement!"
"The understanding is quite shallow!" Lei Zhen said, "Taiji is divided into two instruments, the two instruments give birth to four elephants, the four elephants give birth to gossip, and the gossip gives birth to all things." This sentence shows that Tai Chi is the most primitive stage of the emergence of all things, and all things are born from this! Therefore, there is the purest yin and yang energy in Tai Chi, and there is also the opportunity to reincarnate all things! Putting your ghost wife here can speed up her cultivation and comprehend the yin and yang life faster. ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes flashed green, and he looked at the three people in front of him happily, as if he had seen the most cherished treasure!
And the three sisters on the opposite side, when they saw the image of a tiger and wolf like Yuan Shu, they directly regarded Yuan Shu as a bad person! The three of them went into battle together, ignoring Yuan Shu's explanation at all, and beat him to the ground.
Yuan Shu looked at the three people opposite, and didn't give a chance to communicate at all, so he had to leave in a huff. Leaving the lair of 'Tai Chi Ling', Lei Zhen began to count Yuan Shu, "I've told you many times, you have to be calm, you can't smile as soon as you hear good things! Things haven't been done yet, you start laughing, aren't you afraid of happiness and sadness?" Lei Zhen admonished bitterly, "Look at it, if you weren't so cheap just now, how could people beat you so decisively?"
Yuan Shu was very embarrassed, on the one hand, he was reprimanded by Lei Zhen, on the other hand, he put down his big words in front of Ding Siji, and wanted to deal with the matter here, but as a result, the matter was not handled well, and he was beaten up! So, he asked Lei Zhen, "What should we do now?"
Now, you want to cooperate with the Tai Chi Bureau, but why do you cooperate with others? Do you know her, do you know what she needs?" Lei Zhen guided Yuan Shu little by little, "You have to understand the other party thoroughly, know her strengths and weaknesses, and understand her needs, so that she may consider cooperating with you! Otherwise, you will be like a strange Shu Xiao, and it will be strange not to be beaten!"
Yuan Shu sat on a step and began to think about Lei Zhen's words, and at the same time, he also thought of the things that happened when he persuaded Tai Chi Ling in the 'Huangliang Dream'! At that time, he used the popularity of the hotel as a reward and invited Tai Chi Ling! That is to say, as long as he traded with Tai Chi Ling with the capital of his cultivation, she would basically agree! But now, he can no longer use the popularity of the hotel as a bargaining chip, in case he meets those righteous people again and harms Tai Chi Ling, it will really be a big sin! After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Shu didn't think about what kind of chips he could come up with to make a deal with Tai Chi Ling!
Lei Zhen saw that Yuan Shu was sitting on the ground and didn't get up, so he knew that he hadn't thought of a good way, so he reminded him, "If you think about it again, what does the Taiji diagram express!" Finally, he said again, "What is the process of Taiji transforming all things?"
Yuan Shu recalled what was written in the book: Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji gives birth to Liangyi. Liangyi is yin and yang—the opportunity of movement and stillness, that is to say, the world emerges from a void, because of the opportunity of movement and stillness, the change of yin and yang! The world has become vibrant from a pool of stagnant water because of the change of yin and yang, the difference between movement and static. It can also be understood that with the change of yin and yang, the world changes from an invisible state to a visible state! This is similar to when everything in the world is completely still, we will not be able to hear it, because sound is the transmission of vibrations! We cannot see it, because the light has also stopped spreading! We cannot feel it, because the sensation needs the transmission of neurons! This world is the world of 'infinity'! It is precisely because this world is constantly 'yin and yang' and 'yin and yang changes' and 'movements' Quiet' the difference, so that we will see the wonderful world.
The two instruments are the opportunity for movement and stillness, representing the two states of motion and stillness, so what is motion and what is stillness? Without the appearance of a reference object, how can we determine whether a certain thing is in a state of motion or a state of rest? In order to distinguish this state, the reference object appears! If there is a clear difference between the state of motion of a thing, then we can distinguish whether its previous state and its present state are yin or yang. Therefore, the four images are the 'Shaoyang' state that shifts from stationary to moving, the 'Shaoyin' state that changes from movement to static, the 'Lao Yang' state that is always moving (old means all the time), and the 'Lao Yin' state that is always stationary.
Everything needs three stages: start, development, and result. After the development of yin and yang through the four images, there are finally the results of eight kinds of movements, and these eight results are the 'eight trigrams'! For example, the 'leaving' hexagram, which is always doing divergent movements, is typically represented by fire. Fire warms people because of the shape of the flame. The 'kan' water is always a state of condensation and convergence.
After the gossip was formed, the whole world was seen by people because of the changes in 'movement'!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly realized a problem, if Tai Chi Ling wants to rely on the 'Tai Chi Bureau' to develop, she must go through the processes of 'Tai Chi Sheng's two yi', 'two yi give birth to four elephants' and 'four elephants give birth to gossip', and she is only now developing to the stage of 'Tai Chi giving birth to two yi'. Therefore, Yuan Shu felt that he had found a bargaining chip to trade with Tai Chi Ling, that is, to help him carry out the transformation of 'Two Yi Giving Birth to Four Elephants' and beyond!
Yuan Shu told Lei Zhenxu his thoughts, wanting to confirm whether his method would work!
This time, Lei Zhen finally praised him once, "You can understand the derivation process of Tai Chi, your method should also be able to convince Tai Chi Ling, but how do you plan to help her reach the realm of 'Two Yi and Four Elephants'?"
