Chapter Seventy-Four: Attacked
After some conversation, Nangong learned that this Confucian was actually the junior brother of Lord Qinglong, surnamed Zhuang, with a single name and a Yuan character, and was the master of the Library Pavilion.
"Pavilion master or something, it's just a false name!"
Mr. Zhuang Yuan stroked his short beard lightly and said with a smile: "I have been a good reader all my life, and I can only read to make a name for myself, just to make a name for convenience." ”
"Sir is too modest!" Nangong bowed.
Mr. Zhuang Yuan smiled faintly: "Okay, you don't need to pay attention to details. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly looked straight and said seriously: "If you want to ask about the cultivation of the Rune Dao, I'm afraid I can't help it." Although I am the junior brother of Senior Brother Qinglong, I don't know anything about cultivation. ”
"Mr. ......"
"Eh, hear me out first. ”
Mr. Zhuang Yuan interrupted Nangong's words and said, "Everything is inferior, but only the reading is high, which is not surprising." In my eyes, dancing with ink is much more interesting than dancing with knives and guns. People live for a lifetime, and the grass and trees are autumn, isn't it just to do something interesting?"
"I can't teach you the Rune Dao, and even, except for my senior brother, no one in the entire Qinglong City can teach you the Rune Dao. However, I have read books for so many years, and I have some opinions about the five elements of yin and yang. If you don't, I can discuss it with you. ”
"Student, Mr. Xie's teachings!" Nangong Chang bowed to the end and performed a disciple salute.
Zhuang Yuan nodded slightly, generously accepted Nangong's gift, and sighed slightly, and then said: "You already know the five elements, but do you know how the five elements are born together?
"The student doesn't know, please give me advice!"
Zhuang Yuan said seriously: "From the restraint of all kinds of appearances of nature, the so-called gold is born of water, because the temperature of gold is moist and flowing, and the sale of gold can turn into water, so gold is born of water!"
"The so-called aquatic wood, because the water temperature is moist, and it is conducive to the growth of trees, it is for the growth of raw wood"
"Wood is warm, fire lurks in it, drilling wood and making fire, so wood makes fire. ”
"The fire is hot, so it can burn wood, and when the wood is burned, it becomes ashes, and the ash is the earth, so it is called fire and earth!"
"And the native gold, because the gold is the ore, the stone is attached to the mountain, the soil becomes a mountain, there is a mountain and the stone is born, and the stone is smelted into gold, that is, the so-called native gold. ”
"Gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold, this is the way of the five elements!"
After some insights and eloquent telling, Nangong had never heard of it, and was humbly taught at the moment, and asked seriously: "Then may I ask Mr., what is Xiang Ke?"
Zhuang Yuan replied earnestly: "The many are better than the few, so the water is better than the fire, the real is better than the void, the homeland is better than the water, the special is better than the scattered, the wood is better than the soil, the rigid is better than the soft, so the gold is better than the wood, the essence is better than the strong, so the fire is better than the gold; this is the way of the five elements." ”
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and all things flow throughout, which is not only the way of the five elements, but also the way of nature. ”
"The student has something unknown!"
Nangong pondered for a moment, and then wondered: "The so-called water comes to cover the earth, and this is the soil and water." However, the water drops through the stone, but the water overcomes the soil, how can this be explained?"
"Good question!"
Zhuang Yuan laughed when he heard this, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "Your comprehension is very high, and you are worthy of being the heir of the Rune Dao!"
"Mr. is too famous!" Nangong was slightly ashamed.
Zhuang Yuan was very pleased, praised him, and then explained: "What is phase restraint? The key lies in the word balance. ”
"Balance?"
"That's right! The so-called balance is the balance of power. There are no absolutes, no absolutes. Let me ask you, can a glass of water extinguish the burning city?"
"Can't!"
"The waves are monstrous, can Fang Tu cover them?"
"Of course not!"
"I really don't understand the matter of cultivation, but at least I understand what the Heavenly Dao is. ”
"Heavenly ...... ......?" Nangong pondered these two words.
Zhuang Yuanyan replied in a deep voice: "The five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, although it is the way of nature, but in the end, it is still one of the ways of heaven!"
"If the water is strong and the fire is weak, then the water overcomes the fire, this is the way of heaven. However, if the fire is strong and the water is weak, then the opposite, the fire can also overcome the water, which is also the way of heaven!"
"This ......" Nangong was said more and more confused.
The left is also the Heavenly Principle, and the right is also the Heavenly Dao, which is the real Heavenly Dao?
Looking at his puzzled look, Zhuang Yuan's expression suddenly became unprecedentedly strict, and he said in a deep voice: "Talking about the way of heaven and the like, after all, it is too mysterious! But there is one sentence, I think you must be able to understand!"
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was so strict, Nangong hurriedly calmed down and listened attentively.
"Big fists are the last word!"
"Poof!"
Nangong seemed to hear the sound of vomiting blood.
I just listened to his five elements remarks, and it is the way of heaven, humanity, nature, and balance, just like a master, but I didn't expect to come up with such a rude summary in the end.
This high-ranking image can be regarded as completely ruined!
Nangong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Sir, don't laugh at it......"
"Am I joking?"
Zhuang Yuan suddenly had a straight look, and said seriously: "The so-called way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss. The same is true of the path of the five elements, if the fire is too strong and the water is too weak, then you need to weaken the fire first, or strengthen the water potential, and the two can reach a balance before you can do the way of shengke. ”
"I don't understand the matter of cultivation, I don't understand the way of the rune, I don't understand the sealing talisman you want to cultivate, I don't know anything about it. However, there are many avenues, and in the end, they all end up in the same place. ”
"The so-called seal charm is actually a closed and independent world formed by the five elements of the elements, isolating it from the outside world, if any of the five elements is too strong or too weak, it will definitely break the balance between the five elements, thus breaking the seal. ”
"Just now you said that you want to practice the seal charm and repair the Qinglong seal, then you only need to let the five elements that have lost their balance return to balance, and the five elements will circulate and become self-contained. ”
With that, he fell silent.
"Balancing ......"
Nangong was also silent when he heard this, and after a long time, he asked seriously: "Then according to Mr.'s words, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency if there is more than is lost, is this to be ......?"
He pondered the words for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "Is it to see who has the biggest fist among the five elements, I will beat whom, and whoever has the smallest fist, I will help?"
"The children can be taught!"
Zhuang Yuan laughed and praised: "The Tao of the Five Elements is also the Rune Dao after all, and the Rune Dao covers the nine elements between heaven and earth, so it can be said that the Rune Dao is the Dao of Heaven." And you are the descendant of the Rune Dao, then, in the world of the Rune Dao, ......"
When he said this, his eyes suddenly widened with anger, and his tongue burst into thunder: "You are the heavens! Your way is the way of heaven! Between heaven and earth, who has a fist bigger than the sky?"
Rumble!......
Nangong was struck by lightning!
"My way is the way of heaven...... Heaven...... More than ...... And make up for the shortcomings......"
He repeated these two words silently, his eyes blank, as if he had lost his soul, and stood in place.
After a long time, Nangong's eyes gradually became clearer and clearer, and he regained his spirit.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Mr. Zhuang Yuan had long since lost sight of where people had gone, and there was a thin book lying at his feet.
On the cover of the book is written the four big characters "Five Elements and Micro Meanings", but the author is a name that I have never seen or heard - Fu Xinren.
Nangong picked up this book of "Five Elements of Micro Meaning" and held it in the palm of his hand, knowing that this was specially prepared by Mr. Zhuang Yuan for himself, and he was grateful in his heart.
Standing at the door of the ninth floor of the Library Pavilion, he bowed to the door from afar, and then walked into the portal and returned to the hotel.
......
"Guest officer...... What do you say...... Squid?"
"Ah?...... Oh, nothing. ”
Interrupted by the little girl's call, Nangong came back to his senses from the memory of seven days ago and responded casually.
Suddenly, the little girl sighed, pointed out the window and shouted, "Look, guest officer, someone ......."
"Who?"
Nangong followed her fingertips to look over, but only saw the carriages shuttling back and forth around her, and the undulating eaves under her feet, and occasionally a knight who rode by the dust.
They are now walking on a high-speed road elevated in the air in Dragon City, how can there be pedestrians?
The little girl had a sugar gourd in her mouth, and her speech was a little slurred: "Just now...... Someone seems to have passed from his head...... If you don't believe it, come and have a look!"
As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally reached out and pulled Nangong and asked him to come to the car window.
At this moment, there was a sudden "stabbing" sound...... Without warning, a sharp sword came out of the roof of the car!
The little girl's pull, Nangong happened to dodge this fatal sword!
"There's an Assassin! Get down!"
Transformed into elbows and armpits, Nangong was shocked into a cold sweat, suddenly came back to his senses, screamed, held down the little girl, and slammed his fist into the roof of the car!
With a "boom", the entire wooden roof was blown off with a punch, and debris flew everywhere.
On the roof of the car, a figure rose into the sky, and when it fell, it raised its hand and slashed at the little brother who was driving.
Shoot people and horses first! Let Nangong have nowhere to escape, and then catch turtles in an urn!
"Ahh
The little brother who drove the car screamed loudly, and in a panic, he rolled down to the ground with his head in his hands, and rolled a long way away, and was almost run over by another speeding carriage.
The assassin missed a sword, and slashed at the wheel, "grabbing", and the wheel broke in response!
The horses pulling the cart did not know what kind of different breed they were, and only the wheel on one side was left, but they still pulled the carriage and ran fast. But without the coachman's control, the carriage had already deviated from the lane and crashed headlong into the side of the road!
This is an elevated road, and the road is high in the air, and if you fall, you will definitely be crushed!
"Humph......"
The assassin sneered, jumped on his knees, jumped out of the carriage, and landed on the carriage that had almost run over the little brother who was driving just now, allowing Nangong and the little girl to crash into the guardrail on the side of the road with the car!
"Boom"......
