Volume 2 Reader 4 I have a question about what the Tao is

"Cultivators, you have to climb the ten-fold mountains before you can touch the white jade capital in the sky, step on the nine-story building, move the mountains and seas, take the moon for nine days, and be ......at ease."

Zhuang You listened carefully, he didn't expect that this course turned out to be a senior brother professor of the Jiazi department, this senior brother is called Tang Jing.

Tang Jing was a Confucian student, but he had an arrogant personality and was very crazy about the world, and it is said that he once complained that he enrolled in school at the same time as Song Maidong, and Song Maidong became a senior brother.

However, he is qualified to be proud, he has reached the age of nineteen, cultivated to the six realms, and will enter the wine.

"The first three realms of the meridians, as the name suggests, through the meridians, and the twelve meridians in the human body, the operation of the small Zhou Tian is extremely important, different exercises for the meridians are not the same, Taoist Jindan Avenue, Sanyuan Dan Method, Tianyuan Xiu Qingjing, Di Yuan Xiu Food, Ren Yuan Xiu Yin and Yang, Confucian Hao Qigong, a body of Hao Qi Tong ......"

Tang Jing explained the understanding of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism on the Tongmai, and Zhuang You listened to it with relish, this is a complete cultivation system.

"In each great realm, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and the monks of the first realm with a solid foundation often defeat the second realm and the third realm, but this situation is common in the Tong Realm, although there are all kinds of thoughts, but there are many less,"

"Different cultivation methods also have their own emphasis, such as Buddhist ascetics, tempering the physique, often a one-realm ascetic monk several two realms and three realms are invincible, as well as the flying sword technique in sword cultivation, different practices, in each period have different pursuits, Taoist health preservation pursuit of longevity, regardless of superiority, the Tao is different. ”

After listening to it for a long time, Zhuang You only felt that Senior Brother Tangjing's knowledge was too profound, and the methods of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were at his fingertips.

And one of his words made Zhuang You pay attention to it.

"Tuna is a Taoist exercise, and different tuna has different ways of guiding qi, and it will also have an impact on the operation of the meridians. In addition to the twelve positive veins of the human body, there are eight strange meridians, and the penetration of this meridian is not an external force, and there are many books about this kind in the study. ”

"Zhuang You, are you going to the room?"

Zhuang You didn't expect Senior Brother Tang to come up with such a sentence, he was stunned for a while and nodded, Senior Brother Tang asked him to go quickly, the young man didn't expect Senior Brother Tang to remember this and salute and leave.

For dinner, Zhuang You did not make braised pork, but made a hand-grabbed mutton, Daqin is located in the north, and most Daqin people like to eat mutton.

The three students who helped him lay down just chopped a lamb bone were struggling tightly, making the meat scattered, Zhuang You sighed, took the knife, and the technique was fast, and after a while, a hill of mutton piled up appeared in the back kitchen.

This technique amazed a few people on the side.

Wash the mutton and the mutton fat on the surface, put the mutton into the pot, add nothing, the water overflows the meat, the cold water boils, the rich meat fragrance is pervasive, there is no smell of mutton, the sheep of Bailu College are not ordinary.

Zhuang You took the gauze and wrapped the fresh ginger, dried ginger and peppercorns and put them in the pot.

After a long time, the sunset only left a gap, and when the pot was boiled, the pungent smell rushed into the nasal cavity, making people sigh comfortably.

And the sound of galloping footsteps can be heard from afar.

Hand-grasped mutton, garlic paste and Zhuang You's secret sauce, accompanied by a rich milky white mutton soup, steamed bread, steamed buns, rice and other things on the side, in the late autumn when winter is about to enter.

When Zhuang You saw Senior Brother Tang, he hurriedly loaded him with a big bowl full of mutton, and the arrogant Tang Jing came in with a much softer color, looking at the fragrant mutton, he smiled at Zhuang You, and sped up his pace to find a place to sit down.

Many children in the north ate a bite of mutton and were amazed, this hand-grabbed mutton is very authentic.

At this moment, what everyone is thinking about is that this little junior brother who cooks can't go!

After Zhuang You was busy, he went to the study by night, and he wanted to see the information about the eight veins of the Qi Jing.

When I met some people on the way, they all nodded and smiled at him, and after Zhuang You returned the salute, he was a little strange and didn't think much about it. When I arrived at the study, as soon as I entered the door, the students at the door saw Zhuang You and greeted them warmly.

The students of Bailu Academy have uniform clothes, blue represents Taoism, white represents Confucianism, and the color and pattern on the clothes can be seen which subject the students are.

Zhuang You searched for the information he wanted in the rows of bookshelves, and on each shelf there would be a nameplate with the classification of the book.

Herbs, talismans, water conservancy...... Looking for it all the way, Zhuang You finally saw the word meridian, and walked forward to take a look, densely packed with a large number of books.

After a while, Zhuang You found an empty table with a stack of books and sat down, and looked at it seriously......

I read it very carefully, but I can't understand it at all, not to mention the obscure words, his tongue is about to be knotted when he reads the acupuncture points one by one.

Reading hard, Zhuang You could only give up, looked up, and happened to see Senior Brother Tangjing going out.

If the students of Bailu Academy are serious and studious, Tang Jing is definitely the best among them, except for teaching and cultivating in class, all the other time is soaked in the study, except for the main peak, there is a figure in every study.

Zhuang You quickly put the book back and chased after Senior Brother Tang.

"Brother Tang"

"What's the matter, oh, Senior Brother Zhuang, is there anything wrong with you?"

"I have some questions for you, I don't know if you're available?"

"Sensitive and studious, don't be ashamed to ask, good thing, if you have any questions, just ask. ”

"What if a person has already opened the twelve meridians before the first realm, and needs to open up the eight meridians of the strange meridians?"

Tang Jing pondered for a while, and said: "This kind of thing is rare, opening up the meridians before practicing, it may be related to the exercises, some exercises have requirements for the body, so they will refine the body and cooperate with various medicines." I remember that there is an ancient book that records that one of the ancient qi practitioners must be cleared before they can cultivate, but it may also be other reasons, depending on the specific situation. ”

The two of them walked in the night, and the students who passed by couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Zhuang You chatting with Tang Jing, Tang Jing is notoriously notoriously unpopular, boasting that he is ancient and modern, few people can enter his eyes, Some students once asked him and was scolded for being a bloody dog, and now there is a little junior brother of Ding Zike who is talking to her, and Tang Jing is quite pleasant.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, what's the situation with that person you're talking about?"

"He should have soaked in a medicinal bath in order to practice a kind of boxing technique and open up the meridians in advance"

Tang Jing couldn't help laughing, this little junior brother was simple and cute, and he was clearly talking about himself.

"In fact, there are two ways to encounter this situation, one is to enter the inside from the outside, through the external method to open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and the other is from the inside to the outside, Taoist Mingxia Gong has the effect of opening up the meridians and dredging the meridians, Confucianism and Taoism can turn the true qi into righteousness, and the guidance of righteousness can also be opened, Buddhism has mantras, and there can be thunder and sound throughout the body......"

"Senior Brother Zhuang, do you know Mr. Lu Jiyi?"

"Yes, I took her swordsmanship class"

"That's easy, you just ask her. ”

Only then did Zhuang You know that Senior Brother Tang already knew his business, scratched his head, and saluted Senior Brother Tang, Tang Jing smiled and patted Zhuang You on the shoulder, and walked away.

Back in the dormitory, Zhuang You picked up the ebony stick and chopped it meticulously, although Mr. didn't ask for anything before going down the mountain last time, Zhuang You decided that in addition to punching twice in the morning and evening, he would add a splitting stick in the future.

It is also thanks to Zhuang You's physique that is different from ordinary people, all the aches and pains are gone after a few sleeps, and a few students can't even lift their hands the next day, so they change hands when they eat in the cafeteria, which is very interesting.

It was late at night, and the lights in the school house had been extinguished a lot, and Zhuang You was still gritting his teeth and insisting, silently counting in his heart,

Four hundred, four hundred and fifty, four hundred and ninety, five hundred.

The young man who almost collapsed just wanted to get to bed quickly, but he still took a shower with water, lying in the barrel issued by the academy, the heat was rising, Zhuang You sighed comfortably, and rubbed his sour arm.

Tomorrow morning is still Taoism, and I don't know what the lazy Mr. Qi will teach.

The water temperature gradually cooled down, Zhuang You got up, wiped it dry, poured water, and lay on the bed, the bed next to him was still empty.

He didn't know who his roommate was, and he didn't ask, but now he was curious.

What is Ji Xiaoyao doing now, the little fat man in the Golden Arches should have gained weight again, uncle, have they lived a free life, and where has the master gone?

Zhuang You is actually still a confused teenager, he has a lot of visions for the future, but he can't see it clearly, so he can only walk silently.

Habitually getting up early, punching, slightly warm, the sky is not yet bright, the wind is a little cold, the tail of autumn is about to be caught, and winter is coming.

Daqin's winter is very cold, but Zhuang You has not worn a winter coat for several years, he is no longer afraid of the cold, but when his mother is still there, he is very afraid of winter, Zhuang You's skills in chopping wood are practiced in winter, just to make his mother comfortable.

Since cooking, Zhuang You no longer needs to participate in the morning reading.

In the morning, I steamed the buns and made meat porridge, which was not complicated, but it was much better than the gruel and pickles in the past.

Zhuang You's steamed meat buns have thin skin and large filling, and the soup overflows when you bite into it, without a fishy smell. He made several kinds of porridge such as meat porridge, vegetable porridge, and black rice porridge, and several large pots were steaming.

"Hey, you Yu Minfeng's still eat here?"

"I heard that there is a little junior brother here who makes delicious food, so I came here, don't you know that the person on the mountain is either salty to death, or light and tasteless, and I really can't eat it. ”

There were a lot of students from several nearby peaks, and there was nothing left in the morning, Zhuang You decided to do more in the future, and he was very happy to be recognized by others.

After finishing the work, I went to class, and met a person in the same class on the way, remembering that his name was Yuan Yuanyuan, and this name can pronounce people's mouths.

"Zhuang You, the buns and porridge I made this morning are delicious. ”

"Thank you"

"Anyway, how do you cook so well?"

"I've been cooking since I was a kid"

"Oh, well, I have servants in my house, and I haven't even been in the kitchen. ”

Zhuang You didn't care, smiled gently,

"I hope Mr. still has a bad voice today. ”

"Why?"

"Then you don't have to go to class, it's boring. ”

Zhuang You smiled helplessly, he couldn't understand Yuan Yuanyuan's feelings, he only hoped that Mr. Qi could teach something seriously, he had already felt that he needed a stronger self in the future, and for this, he had to work harder.

In all kinds of waiting, the sick Mr. Qi entered the door, raised his worried eyes, and cleared his throat.

"What is the Tao?"

In an instant, all the students saw the starry sky, as if they were in the center of heaven and earth, every star was rotating in front of them, dazzling, some dazzling, some deep, the once distant heaven and earth seemed to be able to reach out and touch, but at the moment of reaching out and in the ocean, the oncoming monstrous waves made people desperately speechless, the loud sound in the ears shook the body numb, the black clouds, the pitch-black sea, just when the huge waves pressed down, suddenly in the depths of the desert, the scorching heat wave hit, and the sandstorm covering the sky was brewing in the distance......

Everything was calm, but the momentary change was engraved in everyone's minds for eternity, and they were speechless for a long time.

"What is the Tao?"

The lazy voice of the real person from the east pulled the teenagers back to reality, and the triangular eyes that were about to be opened were still worried.

The young people couldn't say what the Tao was, and some of them were still immersed in the magnificent picture just now, and in the dark, they felt that what had just happened might be the Dao, or rather, one of the Daos.

"There is a mixture of things, born from nature, lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, and can be the mother of heaven and earth.

I don't know its name, the word is the way, and the name of the strong is big. ”

Mr. Qi read it lazily, and Zhuang You remembered that this was a sentence in the twenty-fifth chapter of the Taoist Sutra.
