"Before I pass on this technique to you, I will tell you where it came from. Bi Lingkong said, "Zi said: If the name is not right, the word is not good." If we can't understand the historical origin of a practice, it will be difficult for us to correctly understand the original thinking of the sages who founded it. ”

She saw Pan Long nodding before continuing: "This is especially true of this exercise, when you practice in the future, you must keep in mind its origin, and have a good grasp of the master's thoughts and experiences when he founded it, so as to avoid going down the evil path." ”

Pan Long was a little surprised when he heard it - from Bi Lingkong's introduction, why did he feel that this didn't seem to be a serious kung fu, but like an evil kung fu such as "picking yin and supplementing yang"?

Among the evil skills in the world, there are actually a few who are really unscrupulous and say that "Lao Tzu is a bastard", and most of the evil skills will advertise that they have the so-called "righteous path". But in fact, almost all of those "righteous paths" are made up to fool people, and they don't work at all. Because the "evil way" is the true inheritance of the exercises.

Listening to Bi Lingkong's statement, how do you feel that this kung fu is also very similar?

The thought of slander flashed in his heart, and he listened to Bi Lingkong continue to introduce: "The founding of my Confucianism was in the early Warring States Period. At that time, the rule of the Tianxiong Dynasty had collapsed, and more than half of the 108 counties in the 13 directions of the world were independent, ignoring the emperor's orders, and many counties even began to merge with each other, and wars broke out from time to time. ”

"The master was a native of Fucheng back then, and Fucheng belonged to the rule of King Tianlu. The rule of the king of Tianlu was harsh, and the laws and regulations were complicated, and the people would break the laws if they were not careful, and they would be fined and confiscated, and at worst they would be reduced to slaves. Everyone trembled all day long, not daring to say more and do more, lest they say the wrong thing and take the wrong step. ”

Pan Long frowned and asked, "The decree must also be implemented by people, so complicated and harsh, is it possible that those officials are all legal experts?"

Bi Lingkong shook his head: "Why do officials need to understand the law? Where does peace come from? Heaven is the one who covers the earth. The Fa is a thing that is under the control of the top, so how can it restrain those who manage people?"

"Back then, Zhao Da once said that 'the law is and is only a tool for rule', and Wen Er also said, 'There is no law in the world that stands on the side of the weak, and defending the weak is just an excuse used by the strong when they exploit those who are not so strong'. The two of them are very clear, and you can read more about them when you have time. ”

Pan Long smiled and nodded.

He is also slightly familiar with the statements of these two, and as early as his youth, those statements were still quite popular. But then it was no longer mentioned - because it was not needed.

Before he crossed, human society had long developed to the point of national legislation, Skynet supervision, and big data judgments. If you talk to children about the "ruling class", they will probably just give a blank "ahhh

Only when they grow up and study history will they know that in the not-so-distant past, there was an era when human beings were high and low.

(I don't know exactly when those two crossed...... Maybe it's my senior?)

In this case, after years of exploration, the Master finally developed a set of very interesting exercises. Bi Lingkong said, "As long as you set some rules for yourself, no matter what you do in the future, you will not violate these rules, even if you are unconscious, you can automatically abide by these rules." ”

Pan Long suddenly understood: "I understand! Do you mean that as long as I take 'don't be stubborn' as a rule, I won't fall into stubbornness in the future, thus avoiding the possible hidden dangers of the Nine Turns Xuangong?"

He felt that he had grasped the point, but he saw Bi Ling smile narrowly.

"Your idea is good. She nodded, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, "It's really a good way, go straight to the devil." ”

Pan Long was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

"Although a person can practice several kinds of exercises, these exercises must complement each other, or at least be able to go hand in hand. If two sets of exercises are practiced together, in the end, either one exercise grinds out the other, or the two exercises are on par with each other, grinding people to death. Bi Lingkong said, "Shi Dare to be an old man's exercises, the core of his thoughts should be the word 'stubborn'." If you want to deny it directly, won't you not let yourself improve?"

She said and laughed again: "If you practice like this, you may find that the problem is solved at the beginning, and it is very smooth." But after practicing for a long time and cultivating deeply, you will find that there is something blocked in your heart, and it is difficult to break through. In the end, either vomit blood and die, or forcibly break through the level and fall into the demon, there will be no third possibility. ”

Pan Long was taken aback and asked, "What should I do then?"

"So listen to me. Bi Lingkong continued, "After Master created this exercise, he used it for some years, and it feels good. Later, he met Ayu, who was a brave man, and criticized that "there is chaos in life, but those who can be corrected are right, and those who cannot be corrected are easy, and how can a husband be bent in the world." The master felt that what Ah You said was very reasonable, so he took us—I was already a beginner at that time, but I had not yet cultivated my human body—to raise the banner and rebel, break the Tianlu Pass, and hang the king of Tianlu on the beacon tower of the city wall. ”

Pan Long had a long mouth and didn't know what to say.

He originally thought that the Confucian practice was created to endure harsh government, and the theme should be "obedience to the opposite", but he didn't expect the story to develop like this.

Now, he couldn't figure out what to do next.

"After hanging the king of Tianlu, we naturally elected our master to be the king of Tianlu country. The master was the king for three years, dealing with countless documents and reports every day. Often, in the morning, before dawn, the documents are being corrected, and at night, when it is dark, the report is still being reviewed. At last he could not bear it any longer, and cried out, 'This is not the right thing for the Son of Man,' threw away his crown and seal, fled barefoot, got a canoe, and drifted into the East China Sea. ”

Although he knew that it was a little rude, Pan Long couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The master ran away, we couldn't help it, leaving Ah You, Ah Qiu, Ah Ci and a few others who usually like to brag about their understanding of government affairs, and the others went out to find him in all directions. After looking for more than half a year, I found him on Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea. At that time, his old man was resting his head on the white rock, lying on the edge of the stream and sleeping soundly, living very comfortably. ”

"After we found him, the master had no choice but to come back. When I returned to Tianlu Kingdom, I saw that Ah You and the others were so thin that their eyes were sunken, but they were beating in the royal court, it turned out that they were arguing endlessly because of the inconsistent judgments on government affairs. Later, when we asked, we learned that they were busy for more than nine hours every day, and they had to fight like this every three or five hours. ”

"It's really hard to be a monarch!" Pan Long sighed.

"Yes!" Bi Lingkong nodded, "Therefore, the master improved his original set of exercises, and truly founded one of the fundamental exercises of our Confucianism."

She showed a look of pride and said word by word: "Do what you want." ”
