Chapter 4 The Origin of the Qi of Heaven and Earth
The next day, before dawn, Tianxin got up early, and he was excited at the thought that his reading habits could be even better than that of his master. Noisy and noisy to ask the master Qingfeng to send him to study quickly, Qingfeng had no choice but to take him to the town, the two of them walked on the road in the dark, and when it was not dawn in the school, the two of them could only stand stupidly at the door of the school and wait.
It wasn't until the sun showed that someone came with children one after another before the school opened, Tianxin followed the other children into the school, and Qingfeng saw Tianxin go in before turning around and rushing to Yuehua Sect.
All the children were excited in the face of the fresh environment, and then Confucius walked in and said loudly, "Children, welcome to Yangjing Academy, from today onwards, I will teach you the habits of reading, first of all!" The Master wants you to sit in order of age, and whoever the Master reads will come up."
"Good," the children shouted in unison. Then Confucius began to roll call, and arranged the children in order of five, six, seven, eight or nine years. Tianxin was only five years old, so he was directly placed in the first row. It was only after the seats were lined up that Confucius began to teach all the children to read.
Spring goes to autumn, summer is late and autumn is coming, year after year, Tianxin has been coming to Yangjing School for three years. For three years, Confucius has been teaching everyone to read. There are characters that are used today and those used in antiquity and even antiquity. The school is taught in the morning and the children can go home in the afternoon.
On this day, Tianxin came to the school as always, and for three years he has been learning the words taught by the master very seriously, and in the afternoon he went back to Duyun Xiaoju to play with the little monkey.
After Confucius walked into the school, the children who were playing and playing immediately returned to their places and sat down, everyone knew that Confucius was very strict and unsmiling, so no one dared to mess around when Confucius was there.
Confucius coughed and said, "Children, from today onwards, Master will no longer teach you to read, Master will start teaching you habits", Confucius just finished speaking, the children suddenly shouted excitedly, they no longer want to learn literacy. Now Confucius said that he would no longer teach them to read and write, but he soon fell silent, for Confucius's wrinkled face was clearly displeased.
Confucius coughed again, sorted out his voice, and said, "Master will first tell you about the origin of qi, a long, long time ago the heaven and the earth were still nothing, and the creator god was very unhappy when he saw this piece of heaven and earth, so the creation god decided to incarnate the heavens and the earth, so there are flowers and trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, there are all things, heaven and earth. Heavenly host. Millions of years passed in the blink of an eye, one day a group of foreign invaders came out of nowhere, they wreaked havoc everywhere, because the strength of the invaders was too strong, even if all the hundred tribes were united, they were not their opponents, just when the hundred tribes thought that this piece of heaven and earth would be destroyed, a "hum" resounded through the world, and the invaders were directly annihilated. Later, the hundred tribes discovered that there was an energy between heaven and earth, and this energy was later developed and used by the human race, and the human race called this energy qi." Speaking of this, Confucius paused, and then added the word "qi".
Write it out.
Glancing at the children sitting below, Confucius said, "Now, qi has been dissolved with heaven and earth and is everywhere. The human race also relied on the use of qi to slowly stand out from the hundred races. occupies most of the world. Later, someone recorded the methods of those powerful people to practice qi, and there are today's sects, such as the Yuehua Sect, which was established because the founding patriarch was particularly powerful."
Tianxin listened attentively, and he was very interested in these. Sometimes Master Qingfeng will tell him a lot of stories, so he especially likes to listen to stories.
After talking about the source of qi, Confucius began to teach how to practice qi, and the children looked at Confucius intently, because this would determine whether they could become strong or not in the future.
"Gather the qi of Zhou Tian into the body and circulate in the body, draw the qi into the dantian, and then circulate the whole body and leave the qi in the dantian, which is to induce the qi When the qi is successfully induced, the lower abdomen will bulge slightly, of course, the qi needs to be perceived by you, so you must feel the energy around you through meditation, and the dantian is three centimeters below the navel and eyes", said Confucius, sitting cross-legged and explaining.
Everyone began to practice Qi according to what Confucius taught, and of course Tianxin was no exception. Until noon, the children were constantly trying to see if they could attract the qi of heaven and earth into their bodies.
"Master, will the qi disappear in the dantian", Tianxin looked at Confucius and asked.
"No, as long as you circulate your whole body for two weeks, your qi will stay in your dantian," Confucius said with his eyes open. Tianxin rubbed his head with a puzzled expression, because when Confucius taught, he drew qi into his body, and after two weeks of circulation, the qi also entered the dantian, but the qi disappeared immediately after a while. So he kept trying, but he still didn't leave his qi in the dantian. That's why I asked.
Confucius looked at the sky and it was already noon and said, "Okay children, today we will teach here, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed in cultivation, remember to be impetuous, you must be calm and relaxed, you can try more after you go back, okay go back", Confucius left, and the children stood up and walked out of the school in twos and threes.
Tianxin kept wondering why the qi couldn't stay in the dantian on the way back to Duyun Xiaoju, "Could it be that I drew the wrong qi, no, I'll try a few more times when I go back", Tianxin said to himself with his head buckled, and quickened his pace after speaking.
"Mother Monkey, I'm back", when he was about to reach Duyun Xiaoju, Tianxin shouted loudly, the little monkey was sitting at the door, and when he heard Tianxin's voice, he immediately stood up, and ran to Tianxin with a jump. Holding Tianxin's hand, he walked towards the back mountain.
"Little monkey, where is the mother monkey", Tianxin asked strangely looking at the little monkey. The little monkey pointed to the back mountain for a while. It kept "squeaking" and screaming.
"What! Mother Monkey is in danger, take me quickly", Tianxin said with a panicked face. So the little monkey led the way in front, and Tianxin followed closely behind.
A man and a monkey walked a long way and came to the edge of a cliff, and the little monkey pointed to the cliff and "squeaked". Tianxin looked down at the cliff, and the female monkey was lying motionless on a raised stone on the cliff face. Tianxin was frightened in his heart, monkeys are born to climb, and if they were not injured, it would be impossible to lie on the cliff. The baby monkey quickly descended to the mother monkey with the help of the raised rocks of the cliff.
Tianxin, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, said anxiously, "What should I do, what should I do, and the master is not here." Suddenly, he saw a lot of vines next to him, so he came up with a solution, he broke the vines and braided them together like a straw rope.
"Little monkey, come up", Tianxin shouted towards the bottom of the cliff, and after a while the little monkey climbed up, Tianxin quickly tied the vine to the little monkey and let it go down and hold the mother monkey. The little monkey quickly went down to the female monkey and hugged the female monkey, and Tianxin kept pulling up on the edge of the cliff.
Because the two monkeys were too heavy, he was only eight years old. So the hand quickly pulled and bleed. But Tianxin kept pulling as if he couldn't feel it at all. Finally pulled the mother monkey up. Tianxin carried the female monkey on his back and ran to Duyun Xiaoju.
