Chapter 30: Traveling Far and Wide

Li Xuan still insists on doing good deeds every day, but the Xuanhuang merit recipe seems to have entered a bottleneck, and it has not made much progress by simply relying on cultivation or doing good deeds.

Now, Li Xuan is cultivating the second layer of the Xuanhuang Merit Recipe "Benevolence is like water". Practicing exercises should be like the character of water, benefiting all things without fighting for fame and fortune.

With the increase of Li Xuan's good deeds and his understanding of the exercises, his understanding of how to be a person is also becoming more and more profound.

As someone said:

Be a man like water!

Thou art high, and I will retreat, and will not drown thy merits;

Thou art low, and I will come to thee, and will not expose thy defects;

When you move, I will go with you, and I will never leave you alone;

If you are quiet, I will keep watch and will never disturb your peace.

When you are cold, I will freeze, and I will not ignore your coldness;

If you are hot, I will boil, and it will not hinder your enthusiasm.

And goodness is like water, that is, from goodness like flow, like water life, then with the fate of peace.

Water is good at helping all things without competing with them. It stays in a low-lying place that no one likes, which is "water flowing downwards".

The virtuous people should live as humbly as water, their hearts should be as deep as water, their friendship should be as deep as water, their words should be as sincere as water, their politics should be as orderly as water, their affairs should be omnipotent like water, and their actions should be as ready as water.

Only when man is like water and has no quarrel with all things, can he have no troubles.

The more he practiced the second layer of the Xuanhuang Merit Technique, the more Li Xuan had a feeling of doing whatever he wanted in his heart. Because water is unwilling to be restricted, only when it flows can it reflect the true meaning of life.

The virtue of water is the closest to the Tao, and the Tao is everywhere, so there is nothing wrong with water. It avoids the high and tends downward, and it will not be hindered in any way. It can flow anywhere, nourish all things, and wash away impurities. It is in a deep pool, the surface is clear and calm, but unfathomable. It flows endlessly, benefiting all things without expecting anything in return. Such virtue is the most benevolent and the most good......

Finally, the summer vacation arrived, and Li Xuan could no longer restrain his desire to travel far away.

"Dad and Mom, I'm going to travel this summer and increase my knowledge. ”

"Travel, what's good outside, you just stay at home if it's okay!" Mother Song Yuhua felt that her son was still young, and she was reluctant to let him go far away, so it was better to be by her side.

"It's okay to go out and see, I've been to Mudan City the farthest in so many years, and I can't do anything. Let my son go out for a walk, and he will be able to have some success in the future!" Father Li Dajun still has a supportive opinion. Now there is no shortage of money at home, and I can exercise my son when he goes out.

Besides, Li Dajun always feels that his son now has an incomprehensible feeling. Speak and act better than some adults, and should be able to cope with the scene outside.

"Then you need to bring some money, and don't go out hungry. Mother Song Yuhua is still not at ease, but her husband agrees, so let's go.

Li Xuan took some money and belongings, said goodbye to his parents, and walked along the Elm River to the distance, exploring the distance of water.

On this trip, Li Xuan didn't have any deliberate purpose, that is, he walked casually like water, and he didn't want to go treasure hunting, nor did he deliberately practice the exercises, but just followed the direction of the water, kept moving forward, forward, and felt the grandeur and broad-mindedness of the water...... Feel the richness and breadth of water enlightenment.

Li Xuan walked downstream along the Yushu River, and when he was thirsty, he picked up a handful of river water and drank it, and when he was hungry, he picked a few wild vegetables and fruits by the river and swallowed them. That is to say, Li Xuanxuan's Huang merit has been achieved, no matter how difficult it is to walk by the river, it is like walking on the ground.

Li Xuan walked and stopped all the way, not pursuing speed, but just savoring, feeling the water nature, and melting into the water nature. As Li Xuan traveled along the Yushu River, the Xuanhuang Merit Recipe operated spontaneously, like a stream of water, full of spirituality and vitality.

First of all, Li Xuan felt the suppleness of water. That is, "the water flows to a low place", such as the humble gentleman, respectful and courteous, self-inferior, benevolent, righteous and virtuous. Although the posture is low, it follows its proper channels, always does not change its line, and rushes forward.

The water comes from the top of the high mountain, which is a mountain spring, refreshing and sweet, clean and transparent, clear in the mountain, without impurities. Overlooking the world, but willing to go all the way downstream, nourishing all things is the greatest, but not competing with all things, even settling in low-lying places that others don't like.

And water is the most moving object. As long as there is a little unevenness, it will begin to flow, interpreting the true meaning of "life is endless, flowing endlessly", and always moving forward.

The most rare thing is that when the water stops, the surface is the calmest, and under the calm, it is still constantly penetrating, flowing and circulating.

Think about how many people in this world can give up the high place where they are and be willing to go to the lowly place? How many people can do not fight? And how many people can never stay, and keep moving forward in the process of continuous self-circulation?

To be a man is to achieve "endless life and struggle", and always maintain a spirit of consciously moving forward.

People should be like water, good at absorption, trickle, and eventually become a river.

It is necessary to take learning as the forerunner of all progress, as the way of civilization inheritance, the key to the prosperity of the country, the ladder of life growth, as the starting point for seeking innovation and change, and the premise of innovation and creation.

People should be like water, overcoming rigidity with softness, and dripping water through stones.

The world is weaker than water, and the strong can win, with its easy. The weak is better than the strong, the soft is better than the strong, the world knows everything, and nothing can be done.

Li Xuan could feel that every stone in the river recorded the power of water.

It is the flow of water that keeps these stones away from where they should be, it is the flow of water that smooths their edges and corners and makes them rounded, and it is the flow of water that carves exquisite curves on them, making every stone vivid and vivid.

And the whole riverbed is the traces carved by the water on the earth, proving that they have come, and they have run to the front.

Weak as water, you can not fight with the world, and slowly dissolve the strength of the strong. And the "softness" of water has reached an "invisible" state, as long as there is a little gap, the water can penetrate into it, and then fill it.

People should be like water, keep moving forward, on the road of historical progress, to persistently explore the unknown ahead, constantly fully absorb from mistakes, gain something from losses, move towards success in failures, and constantly open up the right direction of progress.

Only by overcoming many difficulties and obstacles and improving excellent quality can we move towards the future with a more calm and confident appearance.
