Chapter 32: Practice
The old man finally couldn't hold back the tears in the corners of his eyes, his wrinkled face was already full of old tears, the old man turned around again, looked at the sincere smile on Liu Miao's face in front of him, and finally nodded, and said, "Since you have no regrets, I will accept you as a disciple, the old man and I have been a disciple for a lifetime, but in my later years, I have been able to be such an excellent disciple, and it is not in vain that I have cultivated for so many years." ”
After a pause, the old man said: "Let's go, let's go into the house, have some breakfast first, since we have accepted you, the teacher will naturally teach you, before that, the teacher will tell you a story, or rather, a piece of history." ”
Liu Miao nodded, stopped talking, and went back to the house with the old man, eating breakfast while listening to the dusty past of the old man
It was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Japanese were rampant and traitors were in power.
The old man's real name is Cheng Tianhao, born in a martial arts family, three generations of grandparents, all generations are martial arts people, the old man is influenced by the family, plus he has a rare martial arts talent, he has been valued by the family since he was a child, and even set as the patriarch to cultivate.
With the advent of the two industrial revolutions, the oppression of China by Western countries has become increasingly serious, and countless domestic martial arts families have suffered misfortune one after another, no matter how powerful they are, they can't compete with foreign guns and artillery, Huo Yuanjia, Ip Man and a number of martial arts masters have been forced to leave, and the Cheng family, which plays an important role in the martial arts, is naturally regarded as the target of the public.
In order for the Cheng family to keep a pulse of incense, the old man's father added drugs to the old man's tea and sent him out of the Cheng family while the old man was asleep, that is, that night. The Cheng family was completely removed from the martial arts.
From now on. The old man began a long wandering journey alone. Until the founding of New China. The founding of the People's Republic of China brought new vitality to China, and China completely ended the feudal imperial system of more than 2,000 years and solved the semi-colonial rule of nearly 100 years.
The old man also resettled at that time, he wanted to re-establish the prestige of the Cheng family in the martial arts, but the martial arts at that time had long been unrecognizable, and the powerful families of the year had all withered, and the new martial arts could no longer find the heroic spirit of the past, and replaced it. It is the new martial arts, that is, the current underworld, in the martial arts, heroes and heroes are highly respected, but in the underworld, there are many heroes.
The hands that are also stained with blood may have different definitions in different periods, and the old Jianghu ideas in the old man's mind have restricted the development of the new Cheng family, and the orthodox martial arts of the Cheng family have gradually degenerated into the old Jianghu style.
The Cheng family is once again facing a downcast crisis in New China. Then. The old man is already in his fifties, and he no longer has the pride and ambition of a young man in his heart. He really didn't want to disappear as a family, so he stepped down as the head of the Cheng family and passed the throne to his eldest son, and from then on he would only be an elder.
The Cheng family slowly transformed from a Jianghu family sect to an underworld gang, and the Cheng gang slowly rose.
After the Cheng family's affairs, the old man no longer asked, after the Cheng family stayed for a while, the old man left there, and went alone to pursue the way of martial arts, the old man spent nearly 20 years, visited the ruins of the famous sect on the rivers and lakes of the year, the old man wanted to collect the world's greatness, and summarized a set of martial arts prototypes that included the principles of heaven and earth.
However, the old man failed to complete it in the end, how could it be summed up by his own strength after five thousand years of Chinese hand-me-down, and finally, the old man gave up his ideals on the top of Mount Tai.
It is not so much about giving up ideals as it is about opening up a new path.
Before dawn that day, the old man set out to the top of Mount Tai, and before dawn broke, the old man successfully climbed to the top of the five mountains.
Perhaps it was some kind of strength in the underworld, but the old man comprehended the principle of heaven and earth in an instant at dawn.
Dao, and do nothing.
"Do nothing?" Liu Miao asked with some hesitation, "Master, but this is the ideal Dacheng realm, which cannot be realized at all, even the gods cannot do without desire, how can they do nothing, and rule by doing nothing, it has long been denied." ”
The old man smiled kindly and said, "Child, when did the teacher say that inaction means inaction?"
"En?" Liu Miao was even more confused.
The old man continued: "People have seven emotions and six desires, we are human beings, and you also said it, what about God, joy and anger, sorrow and fear, love and evil desires, and seven emotions. Everything in the world has this principle, and the so-called inaction is to experience it and see through it, not to abandon it or prohibit it. ”
Liu Miao suddenly realized and said: "I understand, what you mean is that everything in the world belongs to the Tao, and the Tao is contained in all things in the world, and the same is true of lust, just like the Taiji fish, there is yang in yin, yin and yang in yin, yin and yang alternately, the pole of things must be reversed, or the pole is Tailai." ”
"Hehehehehehe. The old man smiled heartily and looked at Liu Miao with satisfaction, "Okay, it's really good, you can understand this truth, it's really not easy at your age." But almost everyone understands these truths, but the world is still like this, do you know what the Tao is? ”
Liu Miao thought about it carefully and shook her head.
The old man said, "Because of this." ”
As he spoke, the old man drew a Tai Chi pattern on the table, pointed to the black dot on a white background and said, " When people are born, they are completely pure, without a trace of flaws, but as they grow older, people's hearts begin to be affected by the environment, and slowly become contaminated with evil thoughts, just like this black spot, gradually and slowly expanding, and then a new world arises, which in turn wraps the white spot, at this time, people react, it turns out that they have changed, but it should not come, some people with high moral virtues, will try to maintain the balance of the yin and yang fish, and some people with weak minds will make the yin and yang fish out of control, and the most stubborn will fall into the evil way. There is no such thing as complete goodness, there is no possibility of complete negative karma, and there is only a mediocre mass of yin and yang fish. The first skill that the teacher wants to teach you is this yin and yang fish, have you ever understood it?"
Liu Miao replied carefully: "I understand, master, do you want to tell me, keep your heart, always be vigilant yourself, as long as you don't fall into the evil way, it is good, but good is not to abandon evil, but evil can be changed, don't take evil as small." ”
The old man nodded. "Your comprehension is good. But it's still a little bit off. ”
Liu Miao hurriedly said, "Please ask the master for advice!"
The old man stood up. said: "Those who are far more virtuous than others are spurned by the world, those who have no talent and no virtue, those who are spurned by the world, and those who are full of evil are spurned by the world." Do you know why?"
"I really don't know what to do. Liu Miao felt a little hot on her face, and said faintly.
The old man glanced at Liu Miao and said, "You don't lie. This is because they don't really look at themselves, people with high virtues, is he really much higher than everyone else, people who are full of evil, he really has no good thoughts, people who have no talent and no virtue, does he really want to be motivated, they really haven't thought about these, so people whose virtue is much higher than everyone else. He will be proud, and he will feel that the world is dirty. Then there is a gap between them, and those who are full of evil will no longer repent when they think that their sins are heinous, and they will give up on themselves, and those who have no talent and no virtue will be very disappointed in themselves, so they will be spurned by others. ”
Liu Miao hurriedly stood up, looked at the old man respectfully, and said, "Master, what should I do?"
The old man said: "To be a human being, you must be mediocre, neither humble nor arrogant, and treat good people with good, and return evil to evil people." ”
"Evil for the revenge?!" Liu Miao looked at the old man in surprise, "But this is in conflict with what you just said!"
The old man smiled slyly and said, "In this world, there are still few conflicts. I ask you, if someone spills a basin of water on you, do you abandon it or treat it with virtue? ”
"Treat them with virtue"
The old man snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Then let me ask you, if you repay your grievances with virtue, then how can you repay virtue?"
"This"
"Remember, when dealing with the wicked, you must fight evil with evil, so that they can repent, and if you repay your grievances with virtue, others will only think that you are a soft persimmon to pinch!" the old man taught earnestly.
Liu Miao woke up like a dream, and suddenly said: "Xie Lu Xie Master taught!"
Seeing Liu Miao's appearance, the old man also smiled knowingly, living here for more than ten years, the old man felt that today was the happiest day.
In the next few days, Liu Miao cultivated his body while studying with the old man, during which Liu Miao borrowed the mobile phone of a person from another village to contact the Li squadron once, but simply reported that he was safe, and then said that it might be delayed for a while, and did not say anything.
Through contact, Liu Miao was surprised to realize that this master is simply omnipotent, whether it is self-cultivation, family harmony, or governing the country, he can do almost anything in the world.
Every day before dawn, the old man will wake up Liu Miao, and then start to meditate in the courtyard, the old man said, this is called practicing qi, qi is a kind of inner cultivation, in today's words, is a kind of soft power, not only can improve the quality of various functions of the body, but also can make people exercise their state of mind in meditation.
In the first few days, the old man would accompany Liu Miao, but later, the old man would no longer accompany him, and Liu Miao's meditation became more and more smooth, not to mention, whenever Liu Miao woke up, a hearty breakfast was prepared.
The morning time is the most precious, at this time the old man's physical condition is the best, will guide Liu Miao to practice some martial arts classics selected by the old man, a few days down, Liu Miao's physical fitness has been greatly improved, the old man still doesn't know where to take out a human body pulse map, it took a lot of time to let Liu Miao recognize all the veins in the human body, although the internal strength written in martial arts novels does not exist in real life, but to the extent of Liu Miao, he would rather believe in the existence of internal strength, so he studied very seriously.
At the end of the morning class, Liu Miao will get a short break, and after lunch, the old man will ask Liu Miao to prepare some fragmentary training in the afternoon, mainly for some of Liu Miao's weaknesses.
For example, for the phobia of multi-legged animals, in Liu Miao's world, four-legged animals are the limit of Liu Miao's patience, so the old man's little flower will come up with a new plant to help Liu Miao 'invite' all kinds of friends, whenever this happens, Xiao Hei will silently exit the room, and then squat at the window with a mocking attitude to Liu Miao in silence. Occasionally, Xiaohua will take special care of Xiao Hei, leaving Xiao Hei with one or two friends to play, and Xiao Hei will look up to the sky every time and howl
At night, the old man gave Liu Miao some ideological education, which can be said to integrate the ancient and modern, quote the classics, and it is these things that have influenced Liu Miao's brilliant life.
The old man's teaching to Liu Miao can be described as all-round, from ideological education to nails that should be repaired to a few centimeters, and martial arts training is a combination of rigidity and softness, but Liu Miao has never screamed bitterly, more often than not, he faints directly, and sometimes Liu Miao really can't figure out how a big python can form a deep friendship with those giant multi-legged animals that are rare in the world.
You must know that one day the big python summoned a centipede king with a body length of about three meters from the courtyard, not only that, but the centipede king also brought countless apprentices and grandchildren, the largest one is second only to the centipede king, with a body length of more than two meters.
At that time, Liu Miao was a little frightened, Xiao Hei was more direct, glared at Xiaohua angrily, and then slipped onto the old man's body, two paws grabbed the old man's shoulders, and even the big furry tail was wrapped around the old man like a belt.
Later, the old man flicked his tail with a dragon and gently threw Xiao Hei to Liu Miao's side, and then Liu Miao saw what it meant to be a wolf with his tail between his legs.
The training was hard –
