Chapter 104: On the Dao
"Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the house of the gods. The so-called Tao is actually the study of yin and yang, and the art of the nine ways is based on yin and yang. ”
In front of the mountain gate of Longhu Mountain, this generation of Tiger Yuan Qiuxu spoke to the people sitting next to him, and after listening, Chen Xikang only thought about it, although he could roughly figure out the Dao Jiu, it was difficult to understand it, and it was even more impossible to speak like the people around him.
Although the Tongtian Daoist is also willing to teach Chen Xikang the art of Dao Jiu, but Chen Xikang's contact with Dao Jiu is still too short after all, and Tongtian Daoist has already comprehended the art of Dao Jiu, and what he thinks and understands, even if he drags it out, Chen Xikang only listens to it most of the time, and does not understand it, after repeating it many times, Chen Xikang simply found Yuan Qiuxu, who had just understood Dao Jiu and stepped into the god for a long time.
"The yang is also outside the weather, and the yin is also inside. Therefore, Yang is the truth of the Tao, and Yin can be empty, using the Yin and Yang to transport the qi of heaven and earth, observing the rules of operation of all things, and then using the nine techniques of enlightenment. ”
While Chen Xikang was still thinking carefully, Yuan Qiuxu opened his mouth lightly, and after finishing speaking, he picked up the broom and went to the courtyard.
Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, there are more than dead leaves in the courtyard, or many stumps and leaves that come with the wind, although the courtyard is all over, but the old Taoist priest is not in a hurry to wave the broom in his hand.
The words of the old Taoist priest kept echoing in his mind, combined with what he had realized during this time, Chen Xikang, who was sitting on the steps, was once again immersed in his own world.
The so-called Tao is actually yin and yang, and everything is yin and yang, in fact, the rules are also, that is to say, the nine techniques of the Tao are actually the monks' understanding and comprehension of the rules of the Tao, just like the pen to write, if you want to learn a good hand, you must first learn how to hold the pen correctly.
Rules, rules, everything has a discipline, this is the rules, comprehend these rules and then use these rules, this is the Tao nine, and the Tao is divided into three parts, one is three ways, the first is real, the second is the void, and the third is the impermanence of the void, and the enlightened person is often lost in the vanity and the truth because of this, until finally the Dao heart is shaken, so that the enlightened person is lost in self-doubt.
After thinking a little far, Chen Xikang once again brought himself back to his senses, his current position is the first level, and his understanding of the Tao is very vague, but fortunately, if he only understands the real thing, he can barely do it.
What is true, what can be seen with the eyes is true, and what can be touched by the hands and feet is true, but what about those things that cannot be seen, heard, and even touched, are they not true?
The answer is obviously not, because the cognitions and rules that exist in the mind are also true, but they are presented in a different way.
Just like the king and the minister, the father and the son, although they are all human beings, there is a colorless, tasteless and invisible relationship between each other, and it is this relationship that maintains the peace of the family and the country.
The more I thought about it, the heavier my head became, although I just wanted to use the technique of Dao Nine to make my sword more amazing and unique, but if I just swallowed the dates, I understood it and then integrated the technique of Dao Jiu into my sword, not only would it not make my sword stronger, but it would have a negative effect.
Chen Xikang, who felt that he had realized something, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had found nothing, got up from the steps, picked up the broom beside him, and silently went to the courtyard to clean the fallen leaves, but he didn't know if he didn't move, and he was startled when he moved, and when Chen Xikang really went to sweep the fallen leaves, he found the horror in it!
The trees in the courtyard are not to mention for the time being, there are trees outside the wall, although there are some evergreen, but there are also many trees that wither in autumn, after the autumn wind gusts, the place that has just been swept will appear to fall leaves, and they are completely swept away, and even make people upset after repeatedly.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of a group of uneasy and kind-hearted courtiers in the Daming Palace, Chen Xikang has been acting with others for many years, and he is very self-conscious, but at this time, he is gradually impetuous, because of the fallen leaves in the courtyard!
The wind was big and small, one after another, but when the wind blew through the loose robe and rose a faint coolness, Chen Xikang, who turned around, really saw that there were more remnants of branches and leaves in the courtyard that he had swept before!
After taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Chen Xikang stopped his broom, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Qiuxu, which had been sweeping the fallen leaves since he was there, although slowly, but the places he swept were clean, which made him puzzled.
I kept watching, although I didn't see any clues, but when the autumn wind from the mountains drifted over the courtyard again, making the trees full of gold swaying, Chen Xikang's face finally changed!
The dead leaves that fell from under the trees were not scattered everywhere, but after being graceful all the way, they all floated to the pile of fallen leaves that had been swept up in Yuan Qiu Ruins!
If one piece, two, three or four pieces are like this, then Chen Xikang will completely mistake it for a coincidence, but all the fallen leaves are floating together, which is not a coincidence that can be said.
After careful observation, Chen Xikang, who saw such a scene, knew that Yuan Qiuxu had invisibly used the Dao, and he had already mastered the way the wind blew when the wind was blowing, as well as the dead leaves that were about to fall from the trees, so the fallen dead leaves could not be scattered around, but gathered together under the traction of Yuan Qiuxu.
Although he had already realized what was going on, Chen Xikang quickly frowned again.
Although it is a traction, what Yuan Qiuxu did seemed to be natural, and he couldn't see that it was intentional at all, but the fact was really because he used the technique of Dao Jiu and incorporated everything around him into his control, that is to say, Yuan Qiuxu mastered the rules in the courtyard.
Or, in the courtyard at this time, the only rule is Yuan Qiu Ruins!
When he was once again frightened by the strength of the Dao Nine Technique, Chen Xikang no longer blindly swept the floor, but began to borrow the Dao Nine Technique to find the trajectory of the fallen leaves, and carefully look at the swaying of the surrounding trees when the wind blows.
One day and two days, many days passed, Chen Xikang gradually integrated into the sweeping of the floor, the appearance of sweeping the floor with a broom was natural, and gradually began to have a Taoist rhyme, and Chen Xikang, who was drunk with it, even put down his sword and only concentrated on the nine techniques of Taoism.
Although Chen Xikang put down the sword box, he knew that he loved Yang Ji in the sword box very much, and Chen Yile, who had nothing to do, carried the sword box on his back every day, and when he was teased by other people on the mountain, he just blinked his eyes and didn't say anything.
Since Chen Xikang gave the shadow the name of Chen Yile, he has been happy for four whole days, and the shadow, who doesn't like to talk, says that his name is Chen Yile when he meets people on the mountain these days, just a few days, and the Taoist priests on the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain know that there is a mask girl named Chen Yile on the mountain.
In the evening of this day, after eating coarse tea and light meals, Chen Xikang immediately took the broom and left, and knowing what he was going to do, Yile, who also liked to follow him when he had nothing to do, also followed after carrying the sword box on his back.
It is still the mountain gate courtyard that greets visitors, and the leaves that have fallen are still those trees, and the people sweeping the floor in the courtyard have not changed, but there is an extra girl wearing a mask on the steps above the courtyard, and at this time she is staring intently at Chen Xikang, who has already become a local custom.
After bending down and sweeping for a long time, Chen Xikang, who was able to catch a trace of understanding under the circumstances, came to the steps, looked at the person who carried his sword box on his back, just doted on his long black hair like a waterfall, and then sat down next to him.
The blood-like remnant sun illuminated the clouds in the sky red, and the fiery clouds floated slowly, and it was easy for people to think crankily in their hearts under the strange shape.
"Yile, the old people often say that the morning burns sunny, and the evening burns cloudy, look like this, tomorrow has to be a rainy day. ”
Hearing the words of the people around him, Yile didn't speak, just tilted his head and watched.
Looking at Yile's cute appearance, Chen Xikang just smiled helplessly, and then focused on Yuan Qiuxu in the courtyard.
The sunset, the dead trees, the fallen leaves, the old Taoist priest in the courtyard is bending over and sweeping, and on the steps not far from the old Taoist priest, the young man is looking at the old man, and the woman wearing a mask next to the young man is looking at the young man.
