Chapter 17: Preaching
Seeing that his one hundred and ninety-six yuan, that is, all his assets, appeared in the hands of Zheng Huan and Uncle Zheng, Zhou Ang was immediately stunned, but soon, his heart suddenly became steady.
Being semi-forced to take away all his money, a normal person, even if he had already agreed, how could he be completely free of anger at this moment?
But that's the case with Zhou Ang.
Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because compared to what he wants to learn, one hundred and ninety-six yuan is too insignificant, and it is not even worth mentioning - he is not the previous Zhou Ang who has been poor since he was a child and has almost never seen money, he came from modern society, although he cherishes these copper coins that he has earned so hard, but he has never really regarded them as truly precious things in his heart.
He was very happy that his uncle could be so "understanding" and show his hand in front of him.
A person who has supernatural powers that no mortal does, who can take things in the void and take money from the outside without being known, will he be short of money? Will he lack the shackles of this hundred and ninety-six texts?
Apparently not.
So in the face of Uncle Zheng's generous smile, Zhou Ang also smiled, and actually pulled a futon in the past, and sat cross-legged on Zheng Huan's side, following his example.
"Uncle Shi, now I have also handed over the bundles, but I am really a disciple. Can you tell me about it? My master said that he doesn't cultivate the Dao, so he doesn't have the Dao Method, and he also said that the Dharma is a small way! So the disciple is quite puzzled now, what exactly is our mountain gate practicing?"
Zheng Huan smiled when he heard this, as kind as ever, he stuffed all the copper coins into his clothes and replied: "Of course, what your master cultivates is not Taoism, but according to the explanations of other people in the world, it is naturally also Taoism. Of course, the 'Dao Method' that your master cultivates is indeed very different from the 'Dao Method' of all the cultivators in the world. ”
"As for the so-called magic techniques, they are even more small insect carving techniques, and even I don't care to take them seriously! But what I can teach you can only be Taoism. Because what your master can teach you, I can't teach. ”
Zhou Ang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked again: "That...... What is Taoism?"
Zheng Huan smiled and said, "Fake ten thousand scrolls, really pass on one sentence." Thirty years ago, I asked your master what it was, and what your master told me, I'll tell you again. ”
After a pause, he put away his smile and said seriously: "The so-called Taoism is simple and easy, saying: Breathe with heaven and earth!"
Zhou Ang was a little confused and asked, "What's the explanation?"
Zheng Huan said with a smile: "The path of cultivation, the first level, said: enlightenment." ”
The human body has 36,000 orifices, which are naturally closed on weekdays, and only open on special occasions. When will it be opened? When is it raining down with sweat!"
When Zhou Ang heard this, he suddenly realized.
The so-called trick is to sweat pores!
At this time, Zheng Huan said again: "But you need to know that when the human body sweats like rain, it will certainly open its body and sweat, but the so-called 'opening of the body' at that time is not an opening of the body. At that time, it was only opened, and there was out, but there was no entry. If there is no entry or exit, it is naturally impossible to breathe. ”
"Why? Why is there no way out, why is it only open at special times?"
Throwing out two questions in a row, Zheng Huan smiled and asked: "You may not have thought about these problems on weekdays, but after you go back today, you can try it to see if you can control your sweating when you shouldn't!"
Zhou Ang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.
The reason is very simple! He could guess what Uncle Zheng meant.
Many organs and functions of the human body, such as sweat pores, such as heart beating, are controlled by autonomic nerves, and the human body cannot adjust or change their operation through its own consciousness, and autonomic nerves will automatically adjust according to your physical condition.
Of course, it is not completely impossible, because the information received by the autonomic nerve is transmitted to it by the brain, and if the news is false, processed by the brain, or simply the brain has been deceived, the wrong information will inevitably cause wrong adjustments. But that's another topic.
The core problem in Uncle Zheng's words is that human beings cannot directly control the opening and closing of their sweat pores in the same way as they control the distance of their eyes and the opening and closing of their hands!
At best, it is indirect.
There is nothing wrong with this argument from the perspective of modern medicine.
Of course, people in this era probably won't know the word autonomic nerve, and there should be no research on this area, so when Uncle Zheng says this, it is estimated that others will be confused, and then give birth to the heart of seeking advice - but I'm not confused!
And...... Zhou Ang was very entangled in his heart, and he didn't know whether to tell his special situation.
Of course, he hadn't cultivated, but according to Uncle Zheng's description, he suspected that he had probably "enlightened" - but he couldn't say, and it was hard to say.
Zhou Ang always felt that it was his ultimate secret, and it was also the secret that kept the last thought in his heart at all times - I had died and come back to life, but what came back to life was already the soul of another world.
This secret, even the closest people, he will not share.
But at this time, Uncle Zheng's question could not be left unanswered, so he shook his head and said, "No! So, the so-called meaning of breathing with heaven and earth, the so-called enlightenment, is it to allow our practitioners to control this point freely......? Thirty-six thousand tricks, go to ...... Is there a difference between breathing heaven and earth?"
Zheng Huan smiled, "Thirty-six thousand?"
Zhou Ang was puzzled, Zheng Huan smiled, and sighed: "Even if ordinary people have a chance, they still don't know anything! Those who are talented have 12,000 skills, and those who are talented have 24,000 skills." Your master, you have 33,000 tricks!"
Zhou Ang was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
He remembered the feeling that there was a cool breeze blowing into his body all over his body, and he didn't know how many tricks he had learned. So, he couldn't help but cautiously ask a question, "That...... Is there that kind of genius, who is born with great talent, and who has already mastered 30,000 tricks without practicing!"
Zheng Huan was solemn when he heard this, and to Zhou Ang's surprise, he nodded and said, "Yes!"
But after a pause, he added: "However, most of them died early, and they are not old enough to practice! Even if they are physically strong and in the prime of life, if they are not guided by the Supreme Cultivation Method, they will definitely die if they only rely on their physical bodies and heaven and earth to breathe, let alone a young child!"
Zhou Ang was stunned again.
Immediately, he asked, "What about ...... Uncle Shi, when will you be able to pass on my cultivation method?"
Zheng Huan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry! As I just said, the path of cultivation is extremely dangerous, and before you formally learn to practice, you must first be calm, and your mind is like water, so that you are not easily shaken by external objects." When you can do this, Uncle Shi will give you the elixir to help you 'open your mind' and teach you the method of cultivation!"
