Shouzhen then also fell, and said to the four people: "When I came out to take you with me, I praised the four of you as rare in the sky and difficult to find in the ground. I didn't believe it, but after trying it this time, it was really the back wave pushing the front wave, which is really not bad. ”

Hua Lanting, who was in good shape, said: "Thank you for your praise." Truth-seeking, that, teacher...... You look so young, I really can't say it, my uncle. Otherwise, the disciple has trespassed, so let's call you Senior Brother Xunzhen on the road. ”

"Senior brother, your former wave is too prodigal, next time you do this, can you say hello first, we don't have breakfast on an empty stomach, trapeze is really not fun." ”

The old god of seeking truth is saying, "If you really want to have an empty stomach, I am afraid that you will even vomit bile." ”

"It's not idle, it's nothing to play with you. ”

"This one, of course, is to test the current cultivation level and adaptability of the four of you, I know it well. ”

"Second, sooner or later, the three of them will break through the Seven-Star Beidou Realm, and they will have the real experience of flying earlier, and there is no harm. ”

"Third, it's an eventful time now, coinciding with the war between the two continents, and the snow is hiding you in the door, and there is also the meaning of looking forward to further progress, so let me help the four of you further improve. ”

"Cultivation must not be sloppy and false, there are few shortcuts, but there are still some shortcuts. ”

"After you have experienced two falls, your spirit and spirit have been extremely excited and all opened, and then you have been violently tossed in the air by me, and your spiritual power has quickly exhausted in a short period of time, and your body and mind are exhausted, reaching a limit that is not easy to reach in ordinary times. ”

"At this time, if I input the Pure Origin True Qi Stimulation, the benefits to you will be average, but for the three of them, the width and endurance of the meridians will be greatly enhanced, and the moment they climb to the Seven-Star Beidou Realm, their strength and potential will be even more enhanced. ”

Only then did everyone understand the purpose of finding the truth.

After the rest, Xunzhen led the four of them along the road.

After this incident, the relationship between the four of them and Xunzhen has become much closer, and they have become closer to talking.

Lin Xian was shocked and asked: "Senior Brother Xunzhen, Liunian and Zhuge and I are still some distance away from the Seven Star Beidou Realm, please help us make progress in the door, how do you plan to teach, how do you want us to cooperate?"

Xun Zhendao: "For you, I don't have a mandatory goal, I haven't thought about how to teach, and I don't have a certain rule. ”

"I'm a casual person. You must have heard a lot of rumors about me, I liked to go to extremes when I was young, and I had a lot of experience. ”

"I think there will be a lot of people growing up who will always want to tell you what to do right. As for me, first, I don't think it's necessary, and second, I don't have the confidence that what I'm teaching must be right. ”

"But what I can probably tell you is what kind of choices and paths are wrong. ”

"Because, I have walked through it like this, and I know that there is something wrong with it, that it is not right, that it is a wrong way, and that it will lead you to a ditch. ”

"And there are not too many people who are still alive after so many astradiant paths. ”

"In my opinion, education in ancient times, at least in Xianzhou, was never a process of establishing a rigid way of thinking and code of conduct for students or disciples, and formatting people. ”

"The real education sages are all practicing their own knowledge and understanding, and they can only teach them by words and deeds after they have experienced it and let themselves become what they want to be. ”

People who have picked up a lot and put down a lot know the difficulties and points in it, so they can explain things clearly. ”

In the book "The Mean", it is said: The mandate of heaven is the nature, the spontaneity is the way, and the cultivation is the teaching. ”

"The process of covering students with one's own personal experience and experience is called monasticism. ”

Everyone listened thoughtfully.

Hua Lanting asked again: "Senior Brother Xunzhen, you have experienced so many characters, well, I heard that there are great evils, great compassion, and ordinary ordinary people, just to understand the various states of life and the truth of the world, so as to obtain higher wisdom and cultivate the Tao spontaneously?"

Xunzhen's face revealed a complexity that did not match his youthful face: "How can I say this." When he was young, he was full of vigor and thought that only through enriching his life experience could he live in this world in vain. Looking back now, I was very lucky, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died. The danger and cost of doing so is great, and not just anyone can get through it. ”

But then again, it's really a precious treasure in life. ”

"In a person's life, only you are the protagonist of your life drama, and you are also the writer and arranger of this play, and you are also the most important viewer. You can applaud it or you can shed tears for it. It's all your own choice. ”

"One thing you said was right. Wisdom is the ability to see things as they are.

"The truth of too many things is very complicated, and it is very delicate, sometimes even difficult to describe, and life, or fate, will not list the truth to you in detail, and people must have the ability to find out the truth. ”

"When you know the truth of things, you will have a more peaceful mind, because since you know the truth, what are you doing with the truth?"

"You know the truth of things, you are peaceful, you understand, you are down-to-earth, and then there will naturally be a down-to-earth righteousness, and there is a clear and clear wisdom. ”

"With wisdom comes compassion. ”

"What is compassion?" Yi Liunian asked.

"In my opinion, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and treating them equally is compassion. ”

"Then why is there compassion? Definitely, because with compassion, there will be hope, but the problem is that although there is hope, when it comes to a certain thing, you can save yourself, you can help others for a while, and you may not be able to afford others for a lifetime, so there is sorrow. ”

"The Central Thick Earth Continent used to be very tolerant, but then it changed its taste, with a sense of distinction and discrimination, and without kindness, it took the initiative to provoke a war with Xianzhou. But whether it is in the east or in the center, in the end, it is all people who are killed and injured, and they are all monks, and your compassion cannot change the sorrow of sacrifice. ”

Zhuge Yun, who studied Buddhism, asked, "How do we cultivate compassion?"

My answer is to find the same, and if you find the same, you have equality. Having equanimity means that compassion arises. “

Hua Lanting said: "Looking for the same? Isn't that the essence of easy learning?"

"That's right. Yi Xue's study of gossip, what is hexagram?"

"From the differences between heaven and earth, we found the similarities, and at the beginning we were roughly divided into eight categories, which were called gossip.

"Let me ask you, Confucianism says self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, there is another sentence in front, that sentence is more important, do you know what it is?"

"Knowledge, knowledge, sincerity, and righteousness. Yi Liunian replied.

"Right. Finding the same between different things helps to open up a bigger picture of the laws of nature between things that seem to be intricate. ”

This technique, in the "University", is recorded as - Gewu Zhizhi. ”

"Finding the same in different places, reducing complex things to simplicity, determining vague things, and making things that are unclear and foggy simple and understandable, this is the perspective of Yi and the essence of traditional culture. Easy means simple and simple. ”

"As I just said, wisdom is the ability to see the truth of things, and learning from things is the way to find the truth. ”

Yi Liunian continued to ask: "You also said just now, your experience may not be something that everyone can learn to do, because many of them are very extreme practices and experiences. Aren't Yixue and Confucianism advocating the golden mean? ”

"As we become more and more able to look at things and problems from a neutral perspective, it is often easier to get closer to things as they are. ”

"The mean, don't try to understand a three-dimensional thing with a point or a line, don't be attached to points and lines, so as to maintain a peaceful and rational state of mind, this is the mean. ”

It can also be understood that it is not enough. ”

"Take traditional Chinese medicine in the secular world as an example. The word "traditional Chinese medicine" is not Chinese medicine, but refers to medicine that conforms to the middle way. ”

"Yidao advocates improving the body's resistance, and that's only half right. ”

"Improving resistance, improving the implication of the word "improve" means that the stronger the resistance, the better. In fact, many times, when people get sick, it is precisely the body's resistance to overreaction to external invasion. ”

"The reason why Chinese medicine is systematic, why it is magical, and why it is in line with the middle way is that Chinese medicine will not only improve your resistance, but also prevent your body from overexpressing itself and causing illness when it is over-resistant. ”

"When the resistance is insufficient, we should improve it, and when the resistance is too strong, we should suppress it. ”

"This is Chinese medicine, and it is great wisdom. ”

"My experience, you can say that it is extreme, but it is also from different points, lines, and planes, to cut and feel the three-dimensional life. ”

"My experience, you could say that it is the opposite of not being enough, it is too much, it is too much. ”

"But wouldn't it be worth it if I could learn from it and transform it into the life nutrition of the rest of my life and that of you future generations in a more effective and interesting way?"

"Besides, after such conversion and reuse, the so-called extreme produces more value than cost, which I think is a very efficient approach. ”

Xun Zhen and Hua Lanting talked all the way, and followed the merchant convoy all the way to the coast of the East China Sea.

Their place of residence is the coastal city of Ninghai.
