207.Finding the Way

Eat and drink to your heart's content, go back to your room to rest.

Gu Bei felt a little weird, obviously he was in the United States, but his work and rest were still in the Celestial Empire, working at night and sleeping during the day, which made him a little unbearable for a person with a regular schedule.

But fortunately, the adaptability of extraordinary people like Inhumans and Half-breeds is excellent, and it will probably not take a few days to return to normal life.

Chu Zihang and Fingal went back to their rooms, although these two were not sleepy, they also needed to rest.

Especially Chu Zihang, since he arrived in New York, his punctual life like a machine is gone.

It is necessary to focus on adjusting the schedule and rest.

Fingal was purely trying to soothe his frightened young heart.

If the heart of a strong man of 1.9 meters is young enough.

Don's room was empty, but Ange didn't go inside to rest, because Nono was busy inside.

Also in it is a certain favorite wife maniac.

Although the relationship between these two people is hazy, it should be said or not, Caesar's kindness to Nono is true.

As for whether Nono will be moved, it's another matter.

Angers did not stay and wait for the translation to be finished, he told Fingal to inform him when the translation was over, and then drove his old Martha to some unknown place.

Gu Bei returned to the room, gave up thinking about those fruitless questions, and calmed down to practice Qi Qi.

He actually thought about whether to go into the interior to ask the truth, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.

Regardless of whether Gu Bei's question is answered in the interior scene, even if the interior scene gives an answer, Gu Bei may not be able to break the barrier of the fireball.

After all, it was thousands of years ago, and it involves the secrets of this world.

Gu Bei felt that even if he squeezed himself dry, he would not get any results.

I just don't think about it.

The sky is getting dark, and the sun is sinking in the west.

Because of the breakthrough of Qimen after the wind, Gu Bei had a slight understanding while consolidating his cultivation, so he stayed in the meditation for a little longer, not much, just a whole day.

When Gu Bei opened his eyes again, the room was already dark.

He stretched out and opened the door.

It was also dark in the living room.

Gu Bei was just about to turn on the light, when the door of the opposite room suddenly opened, and the light shot from the opposite room on Gu Bei's face, making him squint.

Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, only to see a figure walking out of the room.

It's Caesar.

Gu Bei walked over and asked, "How's it going?" ”

Caesar pointed to the room, Gu Bei poked in, and found that the girl had curled up on the bed and fell asleep.

Only covered with a thin quilt, and didn't even take off the clothes, you can know how hard the other party is.

It is estimated that even the quilt was covered by Caesar.

Gu Bei retracted his gaze and looked at Caesar's hand.

It was the original of an ancient book, and a pile of paper full of words.

"The translation work is almost complete, but it's all in classical Chinese, and I can't understand it."

Gu Bei took the ancient books and translations from Caesar's hands, and after looking at them a few times, he had a rough idea in his heart: "You go and inform them to gather, and I will do the rest." ”

Caesar nodded, and knocked on the door from room to room.

Gu Bei took out his mobile phone to take a photo of the translation, and sent it to Hua Yi with his backhand, with the text: "Find a few old professors who study literature and translate them quickly." ”

Hua Yi replied with an OK gesture.

What? You don't think it's Gu Bei who translates it himself, right?

Just kidding, although Gu Bei and I don't know, but what I can let my subordinates do, why do I do it myself?

This is called rational use of resources.

After a while, everyone except Nuo Nuo gathered in the living room, and even Ange, who didn't know where to run, rushed back, and at the same time, Gu Bei's mobile phone also received a translation from Hua Yixing.

——

I stayed in Hanguguan for a while.

Guan Yin of Hangu Pass, whose real name is Yin Xi.

During this time, Yin Xi and I exchanged many things, including the rise and fall of the dynasty, the success or failure of the dynasty, and the safety and misfortune of the people.

I taught Yin Xi all the thoughts of this half of my life, and Yin Xi wrote them down in the silk book, and wrote out two articles, the first and the second, with a total of 5,000 words.

The first part begins with "The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao; The name can be named, and the name is not very famous", called "Tao".

The beginning of the next part is "Virtue is not virtue, it is to be virtuous; Under virtue is not to lose virtue, it is to have no virtue", called "virtue".

"Dao" says that the universe is the root, containing the opportunity of heaven and earth change, and contains the wonder of yin and yang change.

"Virtue" is the way to deal with the world, including the art of personnel advance and retreat, and contains the way of longevity and long-term vision.

It contains some of my understanding of the spiritual aspect.

I don't know how posterity will praise it, but the title of this book is "Morality".

Yin Xi is like a treasure, and he recites silently all day long, like hunger and thirst.

I also have a deeper understanding of what I've learned.

I also learned from Yin Xi the method of breathing that can lead Qi into the body, and my cultivation speed has increased rapidly, which can be said to be a thousand miles a day.

When the Qi that was free around me entered my body, I felt as if I was being washed over every part of my body by the warm sunlight, and I didn't feel anything other than comfort.

The benefits of Qi to the human body are unimaginable, and I feel like I have returned to my youth, and even the gray hair on my head is much less.

But I quickly discovered a problem.

It is not enough to have a way to lead the way.

Qi is like water, and the human body is like a container for water.

The method of inducing qi is a tool that puts water from the outside into a container.

But the human body is imperfect.

You can live if your body is imperfect, but if your container is not perfect, it will leak.

I understand that if you want to go further, you need to be able to "fit".

A container that can not leak is a really good container.

Somehow, I remembered that guy from Conchu again.

His body seemed to be born with no leakage, and after Qi entered his body, he was all refined.

I should go to him and try it.

But for Confucius, talent is more important than method, and maybe I can't get what I want from him.

Forget it, let's look at fate.

This trip west to Daqin, if we can meet, it is fate.

Having said that, I took Yin Xi as an apprentice and wanted to teach him the method of feeling Qi, because he, like me, had seen that mysterious fireball before, and maybe he also had hope of feeling Qi.

But I failed.

After working hard for a long time, Yin Xi showed no signs of feeling Qi.

I knew that my enlightenment was due to the death of my mother and the king, and there was also some coincidence, but I still couldn't accept the current situation.

If ordinary people in this world can't feel Qi, then how can my cultivation of Qi be considered to be created for the sake of the human race?

Maybe that's what I'm supposed to think about.

I left Hangu Pass and continued westward.

After many days of walking, I finally arrived at my destination, the country of Qin.

At this time, the monarch of the Qin State was the Duke of Mourning.

Duke Ai received me, and it was only at this time that I finally saw the only human race among the countless princes that had always existed only in the mouth of the Spirit King.

Ying's.

The Spirit King had mentioned them countless times during his lifetime, saying that their bloodlines were natural talents among the Terrans, and that they would be the hope of the Terrans.

That's what I'm here for.

In order to witness the hope in the mouth of the Spirit King.

Now, I do.

But I was a little disappointed.

The Qin Aigong who appeared in front of me was an ordinary man who was dying of old age, his body was not strong, his thinking was not very flexible, and he could not even speak very fluently.

I'm not younger than him, but there were many times when we talked and he didn't hear what I said.

The Qi around him were not very active, and they were even speeding away from him.

Is this the hope of the Terrans?

In my current opinion, whether it is Kong Qiu or Yin Xi, or even myself, they can afford the word hope more than Ying's.

I asked Ai Gong for some blood.

Wai Gong gave it to me very happily.

I got the blood of my father, and even his father and son.

That's right, they are indeed Terrans.

But it's just ordinary people.

I lost hope and got up to take my leave.

However, there is one more thing......

The Spirit King has always asked me to give me a copy of what I have researched from Qi, no matter what I have researched.

I agreed.

I put my own research on Qi, and I may feel that the method of Qi's success, the method of inducing Qi that I got from Yin Xi, and the cultivation and perception of this half of my life were all left in the Qin State, and then left there.

They may indeed be the hope of the Terrans, but they will not be my hope.

Perhaps many years later, the Ying clan will really lead the Terrans to subvert the constraints of the bloodline.

But by then I probably couldn't see it anymore.

I left the State of Qin and prepared to leave for the State of Song, Peixian.

That's my hometown.

On this day, I rode a bull to the outskirts of Liang Kingdom, closing my eyes and recuperating my mind, thinking about how to make ordinary people feel Qi, and how to put the Qi introduced into the body in the body.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting "Sir".

I looked over and found that it was my former disciple Yokoju.

Yangziju is a native of Wei, once entered the Zhou Taixue, and privately worshipped me as a teacher, but he didn't expect to meet in Liang.

What a wonderful thing this world is.

Yang Ziju turned over from the tall horse, lifted his brocade green robe, and knelt down in front of the green ox.

I lifted Yokoju and walked with it.

I asked him, "What have you been up to lately?" ”

Yangziju said: "Come here to visit the former residence of the ancestors, buy some real estate, decorate Liang Dong, recruit some servants, and rectify the family rules." ”

I asked, "It's enough to have a place to eat and sleep, why is it so public?" ”

Yangziju said: "When cultivating oneself, you need to be quiet when you sit, you need to relax when you walk, you need to drink plainly, you need to be quiet when you sleep, and you don't have a deep house, how can you do this?" If you buy a deep house and a single household, you don't recruit servants and don't prepare utensils, how can you support the operation of your family? If you recruit servants and prepare utensils, how can you manage them well if you don't set up house rules? ”

I smiled: "The avenue is natural, why be quiet." ”

"Walking without asking for self-relaxation, drinking without luxury and self-purification, lying without desire and self-tranquility."

"Why do you need a deep house for self-cultivation? Hungry and hungry, tired and resting, working at sunrise and sleeping at sunset. ”

"Why do you need to work at home? If you go with nature and do nothing, you will be mentally safe and healthy; If you camp with your back to nature, you will be confused and damaged. ”

These are not spiritual techniques, but for some reason, they are quite beneficial to practice, so I wrote them down.

Yang Ziju was a little ashamed: "The disciple is vulgar, thank you for your advice." ”

I suddenly had an idea.

These things are good for spiritual practice, so if a person is allowed to live like this all the time, will he feel Qi?

I asked Yokoju, "Where do you live?" ”

Yoko said: "Pei." ”

"Just in company."

Yokoju was very happy and walked with me.

We traveled to the difficult water and crossed it by boat.

I led the ox and climbed first, and Yangziju led the horse and then went up.

I talked and laughed with the passengers; Yangziju held his head high, and the guests gave him their seats when they saw it, and the owner of the ship not only served tea in person, but also gave tea towels.

After crossing the difficult waters, we mounted our cattle and continued on our way.

I sighed and said, "I saw your demeanor just now, you hold your head high, you are proud of others, you are self-respecting, arrogant, and you can't teach." ”

Yangziju looked ashamed and said pleadingly: "The disciple's habit has become natural, and he must change it!" ”

"A gentleman deals with people, if the ice is released in the water, and works with others, like a child servant humble; White and flawless, it seems to be dirty, and its virtue is rich and it seems to be vulgar and ordinary".

After hearing this, Yang Ziju changed his original arrogant attitude and became neither humble nor arrogant.

I praised: "There is progress!" ”

"A human being is born in the body of his parents, standing between heaven and earth, and the things of nature."

"If you are cheap, you will go against nature, and if you are cheap, you will go against your nature, and so on, and you will be one, follow the trend, stop by taking advantage of the situation, and your words and deeds will be natural, and you will be in line with the way!"

Speaking of this, Yoko Ju was like a reason, and bowed deeply to me.

He doesn't know, I want him to use this way, try to get close to the Tao, use this tricky method, try to feel Qi.

However, although I keep saying that this kind of going with the flow is closer to the Tao, even I don't know what the Tao is.

Is it real?

Or is it some kind of mental will or something?

What does its existence represent?

Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the fireball from the beginning.

The fireball that Yin Hee and I both encountered.

Will it be the Word?

I don't know.

I used to think that "Tao" is a kind of rule, which is the essence of change, which is neither born nor destroyed, formless and imageless, has no beginning and no end, is all-encompassing, its big is not outside, its small is not inside, and it is eternal and unchanging.

Because everything is not a thing, it is inconsistent, and it follows something in unison, without exception.

But then I realized I was wrong.

The Tao is far more profound than I thought.

"Tao" is the most fundamental law that drives the operation of the universe, and it is the consciousness of "heaven", which is not limited by time and space.

Consciousness is divided into consciousness and consciousness, meaning is thinking, and it is the process of achieving goals based on concepts; Awareness is feeling, which is the process of interpreting concepts.

Man is conscious, and heaven is conscious.

Consciousness is not a thing, there is no difference between the consciousness of heaven and the consciousness of man, they are all from the Tao, and the consciousness of man and the consciousness of heaven are entangled together, so man's thoughts must have the imprint of heaven.

And fate is not entirely in the hands of man.

When we think about the Tao, it grows from a giant nest, and all things come into being; When we feel it, heaven and man are united, so everything is quiet.

Tao is the most fundamental force in the universe, it is everywhere at all times, it transcends time and space, that is, it is changing and unchanging.

But I couldn't find the Way.

It is rumored that I am a Taoist patriarch, but who knows that the Taoist patriarch himself is also looking for the "Tao".

Your own "way".

The "Way" of the Terrans.

The "Word" of the world.

The road ahead is vast, and I only see a boundless fog.

Whether it will be a high sea or a bitter sea after the fog, I don't know.
