Chapter 279, the first vein

The two of them in Chang'an go out early and return late every day, not only to study the "Tao Te Ching", but also to learn Changquan and Taijiquan, and when they finish eating in the evening, they also seize the time to ask Jiang Mingyue for advice, which is more difficult.

Seeing that the two of them were so conscious, Li Yuanshan was very happy, and on this day, he came to the Ming Taoist Temple again and specially cooked a meal for them.

"Old Dao, how have they studied these days?" asked Li Yuanshan as he picked up his teacup. As soon as he finished asking, the teacup was raised to his lips and he took a sip.

After swallowing it, he smacked his lips, and Li Yuanshan asked, "What is this?"

"It's pine pollen. Dao Xuan introduced, "This pine pollen moistens the heart and lungs, nourishes qi, removes wind and stops bleeding." ”

"Yes. Li Yuanshan nodded and said, "There seems to be one on the Compendium of Materia Medica." ”

"What do you mean that there seems to be, it's obviously clearly written, okay!" Dao Xuan smiled, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten it and tasted it." ”

"What kind of pine is this?" Li Yuanshan said, "We have two kinds of pine trees here, pine and long-haired pine, which one are you?"

"Hairy pine. Dao Xuan smiled, "There are not many long-haired pines here, and they don't use it as wood, and the branches of the trees are not repaired, and they don't grow tall, so it's easy to take pine flowers." ”

"You're a lot older, and you're still doing these new things, but you really don't accept old age. Li Yuanshan said, "But no matter how old you are, you don't need to do it yourself." Just call a few people, or your two nephews and nephews. ”

"What's this, how old am I!" Dao Xuan said with a smile, "Look at these old people in the nearby village, whether male or female, as long as they are in good health, which one is idle? Let them help at home, they are not very willing, and they still like to work in the fields." Look at the An Chongneng in the old village next to him, who is in his nineties and often goes to work in the fields. I'm only over 70 years old, and I'm in good health, so why can't I work?"

"I mean take it easy. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "Anyway, you are also over seventy years old, the pine branches are very brittle, it is better not to climb the tree to pick pine flowers, in case you accidentally fall down, this old bone can not withstand the toss." ”

"Yes. I didn't climb trees when I was picking pine flowers. Dao Xuan smiled, "Take a sickle, tie a long bamboo pole to it, and lift it up and hook it, and you can hook it down." ”

Li Yuanshan nodded and praised: "This method is okay, this method is used by the villagers when they ask (pick) pine cones, it is quite easy." ”

"That's what I learned from them. Dao Xuan smiled, "At the beginning of spring, I saw the pine trees blooming, and I was idle, so I got it and tried it." As he spoke, he took a sip, leaned back, closed his eyes and shook his head gently, so uncomfortable!

"Hmm. Li Yuanshan nodded and took a sip, feeling the faint taste, and said, "You have a very leisurely life, and you still have time to taste this." By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how have they studied in Chang'an these days?"

"There's not much to say. Dao Xuan slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "As a college student, the ability to learn and understand is naturally not comparable to ordinary people." According to my estimate, in a few days, they will not only be able to memorize the Tao Te Ching, but after a while, they will almost be able to understand it. The rest is to dig deeper, deepen your understanding and even come up with new insights. ”

"Hehe, this is when you can see the importance of knowledge inheritance. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "The inheritance is created by a genius and continued to be perfected by future generations, which is much better than a person's understanding." Just like the inheritance of your old way, if you let another person study it, even if there is a lineage of other sects as a reference, it will take at least a few decades to reach your current level. But how many decades can life have? And with inheritance, standing on the shoulders of predecessors, you can save a lot of time. As for the new insights, Taoist thought is already perfect in the Tao Te Ching, and even if there are new insights, they are just entangled in the details. ”

"That's what I said. Dao Xuan smiled and said, "But if you think about it, everyone knows the core idea of the unity of heaven and man, but only the minutiae can judge the level of a Taoist's Taoism." ”

"Yes. But it doesn't matter, I'm not trying to make them Taoist monks. Li Yuanshan said, "As long as you understand and know a rough idea, it will be helpful for them to cultivate their internal strength." As for in-depth research, it depends on whether they are interested in it or not. ”

Dao Xuan shook his head and said: "Chang'an looks easy-going, in fact, his personality is more domineering, he learns the Taoist scriptures, and he is also very convinced of Taoist thoughts, but when he encounters major events, the domineering in his personality will be revealed." It is precisely because of this that he should be allowed to study the Taoist scriptures well. ”

Li Yuanshan agreed with Dao Xuan's analysis. Chang'an has good physical fitness since he was a child, has strong fights, good academic performance, and is not strict at home, so he has become the head of his classmates and friends, and this has lasted until he grows up, and he has developed a somewhat domineering character. "Boy, it's normal to have a bit of a domineering personality, learn to learn the Tao Sutra, neutralize and neutralize, and it's good to be older. ”

"Well, that's the right idea. Dao Xuan said. Based on his understanding of Li Yuanshan, in fact, this road is the path taken by Li Yuanshan himself. Don't look at Li Yuanshan's smile every day, and even if he falls on other people, he will definitely be scolded for being lazy and degenerate, but this is just hiding the domineering side, and he really wants to provoke him, and he has no scruples about doing it. Fortunately, there are too few things in this world that can arouse his anger.

"What about Xiao Zhen?" asked Li Yuanshan.

"It's more appropriate for her to study the Tao Sutra. Dao Xuan nodded and said, "Although she has experienced a lot of misfortunes, but fortunately, she has Chang'an by her side, she has already seen those things, and her current idea is to accompany Chang'an, and your family will live a good life." Her pursuit is plain, and her personality is also very peaceful, which is more suitable for Taoism. ”

"What about boxing?" Li Yuanshan asked, "How did the two of them learn?"

"When it comes to Changquan and Tai Chi alone, it's not good. Dao Xuan said, "After all, they practice that...... Well, Sanda has been a habit for many years, and it is difficult to change the way of boxing when it comes to learning Changquan and Taijiquan. ”

"Hmm. ”

"However, it never matters if the moves or anything are not, they practice sanda well, and there are even a lot of eye-catching ways to deal with them when they are fighting. Dao Xuan said, "So I think the two of them don't need to specialize in Changquan and Taijiquan moves, as long as they learn the principles of boxing." ”

"Learn boxing, and then you have to be able to use it. Li Yuanshan said, "Chang'an is okay, he is a man, good physical fitness, great strength, Xiao Zhen does not have so much strength, and he takes a brisk path, I think she should learn to use Tai Chi to unload the force, and it is best to be handy." ”

Every day, I learn the "Tao Te Ching" and learn the boxing method, and the things are fully arranged, and if I don't pay attention, Chang'an and Xiaozhen have been back for twenty days. With Jiang Mingyue's help, the internal force has increased significantly, and the requirement of opening up the first meridian of the Twelve Orthodox Classics has been reached.

"Tomorrow, the two of you will start to solve the last few acupuncture points and completely open up the first meridian. Li Yuanshan said to Chang'an and Zhou Mingzhen, "After the meridians are opened, you will find that the internal force can run quickly through the opened meridians and reach the hands." If I used to walk in the wilderness, now I drive on the highway. ”

"Great, otherwise this internal force would not be used at all in a fight. Chang'an said happily.

"Too early to rejoice. Li Yuanshan shook his head and smiled, "Although the meridians are opened and the internal force runs fast, how many times can you withstand the use of your internal force?"

"As long as it can be used, even once, it's fine!" Chang An smiled, "Sometimes, you can decide whether you win or lose at one time." Moreover, we are now cultivating our internal strength at a fast speed, and it won't be long before the number of times we use it will increase, and the power will also increase. ”

Li Yuanshan smiled and said, "Okay, you kid is quite optimistic, I'm optimistic about you!"

"Dad, don't learn from Lao Xing. Chang An smiled, "I feel as if you are laughing at this study." ”

"Your feeling is right, it's ridicule. Li Yuanshan said with a grin, got up and walked out.

"It's not so devastating. Chang'an said, "It's so encouragement!"

After Chang'an finished speaking, Jiang Mingyue said, "Your father is making you recognize the reality." With your skills, if you can't beat the other party, then your internal strength is useless. So when you encounter danger and can't beat yourself, don't force yourself to shoot, run if you can, even if you can't run, then pretend to be a grandson and ensure that your life is the most important. ”

"Isn't it too embarrassing to do this?" Chang'an said.

Jiang Mingyue said casually: "What are you afraid of losing face? Isn't it, Xiao Zhen?"

"Hmm. I agree with my aunt. Zhou Mingzhen said, grabbed Chang'an's hand and said, "Look at those heroes in martial arts dramas, how many dangers have they encountered? Not everyone can turn danger into a disaster, and those who failed to survive died in vain." I don't want you to risk it. ”

"Look, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Xiaozhen. Jiang Mingyue said.

"If you still do this after practicing martial arts, what's the use of practicing martial arts?" Chang'an said. Mom's statement is very different from that in martial arts, which makes it difficult for him to accept it when he is young.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. Jiang Mingyue said, "Doing a chivalrous and righteous thing at the age of twenty-five and folding yourself in it may not necessarily succeed." Doing three of the same things successfully at the age of fifty. Which of the two do you think is better?"

Chang An replied without thinking: "Of course it's the latter!"

"Look. Jiang Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Besides, we let you learn martial arts, but we don't want you to rely on martial arts to do chivalrous righteousness, in modern society, there are police and laws, and there is no need for you to practice chivalry." We let you learn martial arts so that you can keep yourself safe and live well. ”

At four or five o'clock in the morning the next day, Chang'an and Zhou Mingzhen came to the back mountain, Jiang Mingyue gathered vitality to wrap the two of them, and after more than forty minutes of hard work, the two of them were separated by a few minutes, and they all opened up the first meridian of the twelve canons.
