Chapter 96 Xuanguan descends the mountain
A month later, Emperor Zhou Tian and the palace manager Zhang He came to Yilong Palace.
Emperor Zhou Tian called Zhou Ti aside and said, "Brother Ti, I will take Master Gaye to the Demon Cave, and I will be able to come back in less than a month." I specially brought Mr. Zhang, who saved my father's life by force, and my father said that his force was unfathomable, especially because he knew more about things than anyone else in the world. If there is a strange person in the world, it is Manager Zhang, you can definitely learn 'rare treasures' from him, it depends on whether you have such creation. ”
Zhou Ti knew that Mr. Zhang was the first person to be trusted by his father during his reign, and now Mr. Zhang has become the most trusted person of Emperor Zhou Tian, and this humanity is unimaginable.
After Emperor Zhou Tian and Gaye left, Zhou Ti invited Zhang He to his room, and the two began a long talk.
Zhang He said: "When the former emperor was on the throne, I was always by the emperor's side, and I knew that the first emperor was originally inclined to make you the crown prince. ”
Zhou Ti said: "I don't want to be the crown prince and the emperor, I only like to study martial arts since I was a child. ”
Zhang He said: "So you became a monk and became a Taoist priest, do you regret it now?"
Zhou Ti said: "Now let me be the emperor, I still think it is a painful thing. The greatest joy in my life is to create a practice that is completely different from the martial arts exercises of the world. ”
Zhang He said, "Have you created any new exercises now?"
Zhou Ti said: "No! I use our Zhou family's exercises to fight with people, and I can easily defeat my opponents, and I can't find a more clever technique." Therefore, he has never been able to break through the exercises he has mastered, and naturally he has not created new exercises. ”
While the two were talking, a Taoist priest came to call Zhou Ti for dinner, and Zhang He followed Zhou Ti to the kitchen.
There were three dining tables in the middle of the kitchen, and more than a dozen Taoist priests sat down at the tables and began to eat.
Zhou Ti and Zhang He sat in two empty seats, with a plate of steamed buns, a plate of taro pickles, and two bowls of radish and tofu soup on the table.
Zhou Ti grabbed a steamed bun and ate it, and he talked to the Taoist priest at the same table while eating.
Zhang He watched with great interest as Emperor Zhou Tian's younger brother Zhou Ti and more than a dozen Taoist priests were eating with a smile and a warm smile on his face.
Zhou Ti's bowl of radish and tofu soup was quickly gone, and a Taoist priest at the same table got up to serve Zhou Ti food. Zhou Ti waved his hand, stood up and walked to the cauldron not far from the dining table, where he filled a bowl of dishes.
Zhou Ti came back with a vegetable bowl, and saw that Zhang He's vegetable bowl was also empty, so he rushed to serve Zhang He's food.
After eating, Zhou Ti took Zhang He out of the mountain gate of Yilong Palace, and there were stone tables and stone benches on both sides of the door.
Zhou Ti and Zhang He walked along the neat stone steps and walked towards the mountain.
Qingdang Mountain is 1,000 or hundreds of meters above sea level, but because it is located in the plain area, it looks majestic and straight.
At this moment, the reddish sunset is slowly moving towards the horizon, and the returning birds are chirping and calling for their families.
Zhang He looked at the ancient trees and pines in the mountains, and then turned his head to look at the endless wheat fields under the mountain, and said, "This place is more beautiful than the capital."
Zhou Ti said: "Manager Zhang, if you were to live here for the rest of your life, would you still say that this place is beautiful?"
Zhang He said: "Some people say it's beautiful, some people say it's not beautiful, and some people disdain it." ”
Zhou Ti said: "The same scenery here, how can there be so many different results. ”
Zhang He said: "Change! It is a change in people's hearts, as long as people's hearts change again and again, the scenery here will change again and again." ”
Zhou Ti said: "Can this change change change everything?"
Zhang He said: "The mist on this mountain is blown away by the wind, and when it is changed by the sun and water droplets, a new mist comes out again; the grass on the ground dies when it is changed by the seasons, and it is alive again when it is changed by the seasons; people are dyed by time, and time will turn into a newborn baby; only by change can there be new life and creation, and everything in this world is like this." ”
Zhou Ti said: "Mr. Zhang, wait, according to what you said, as soon as the force exercise method changes, a new exercise can be produced." My martial arts are all about pursuing force, speed, and skill, and if I want to change, I want to abandon force, speed, and skill. In that case, the exercises have indeed changed, and they have become weak and sluggish, so is that still the exercises?"
Zhang He said: "Look at the river, it goes straight without hindrance, and when it encounters a boulder, it runs around and runs to the side and flows with the bend, and where the depression is weak, it flows to wherever it goes, and the river is always changing and changing, and finally it does not use the strong river water to swallow all the stubborn stones." ”
Zhou Ti said: "Ah! Use a roundabout method to find a place where there is no hard and strong force, the weak can overcome the strong, and the small force can beat the big one." With that, if I use my power like this, I will be able to defeat my opponent more easily and easily. ”
Zhang He said: "Look at the poisonous snake, when it attacks, it will never take the initiative to attack. It hides its fangs and dangles its erected head, and if you don't move it, it won't deliver that fatal blow. Its immobility is also a kind of change, it does not move on the surface, but in fact, its soul is always moving, always looking for the best time to attack. ”
Zhou Ti listened to Zhang He's words and said excitedly: "That's right! This roundabout attack and quietly waiting for the opportunity can be used together. The intention is not forceful, and there are infinite changes hidden in the unchanged. I see, in that book, it is said that 'I dare not be a guest for the Lord', which originally meant that when fighting with others, we should not take the initiative to attack first, but wait for the move and then strike first, and finally achieve the main goal of countering the guest. In addition, the 'guest' can do whatever he wants, run as he wants, enter as he wants, come and go freely, and his direction and whereabouts are uncertain, which is exactly in line with the truth of the world's great avenue of 'change'. ”
Zhang He looked at Zhou Ti with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and after Zhou Ti stopped talking, he asked Zhou Ti again: "What do you mean by 'Wu Wei'?"
Zhou Ti said: "'Wu Wei' is not to do anything other than one's duty. ”
Zhang He said: "Don't do anything other than your duty, this is the form, just like the state before the fatal blow of the poisonous snake, its surface form does not move, but its soul is always moving, constantly looking for a way to complete the fatal blow." 'Wu Wei' is not doing anything other than his duty, but the real 'Wu Wei' is looking for and discovering the truth of the Great Dao in heaven and earth, and then not doing anything that violates the truth of those Great Dao. The person who can reach that step is the Dao Zhenren, he is omnipotent, he has merged into the operation of this mountain, river and earth. ”
Zhou Ti said: "Is there such a real person in the world?"
Zhang He said: "No! The truth of the Great Dao in which all things in heaven and earth run is endless, but human intelligence is limited, and those who can completely break through the cage of their own desires and eyes and persist in searching for the truth of the Great Dao all their lives are saints. ”
Zhang He stayed in Yilong Palace for three days before leaving, while Emperor Zhou Tian and Gaye returned to Yilong Palace after more than twenty days.
Emperor Zhou Tian heard that Chief Manager Zhang was gone, and said to Zhou Ti with a smile: "The palace is inseparable from Chief Manager Zhang, will the arrival of Chief Manager Zhang be helpful to your exercises?"
Zhou Ti said: "If I have a completely different high-level exercise in the future, it will be Mr. Zhang's discipline." I now understand why my father and you regard Mr. Zhang as the most trusted person!"
Emperor Zhou Tian said, "Does Master Gaye still want to stay in Yilong Palace?"
Zhou Ti said: "No need, I will practice for a long time the two illusion skills that the master passed on to me. ”
After Emperor Zhou Tian and Gaye left, Zhou Ti spent half a year making earth-shaking changes to the moves of the Zhou family's exercises. Giving up the concept of fighting the weak with strong and vigorously fighting with small force, the fast hand and the slow hand were created, and it was created to use the change of internal strength of the mind as the leading, taking the weak parts of the opponent's body as the target of attack, and adopting a new form of combat in the form of static braking and then preemptive.
Zhou Ti's daily training method has completely changed, and he knows that to fully control this new set of exercises, he needs deeper internal strength, more dexterity, and more wisdom, which can only be improved through continuous training.
Zhou Ti felt that his set of exercises was more suitable for people with understanding and wisdom to practice.
After several years of training, Zhou Ti has unconsciously raised his strength to a higher level.
Zhou Ti fulfilled his long-cherished wish to create a new practice, and the person he was most grateful to was Emperor Zhou Tian.
Zhou Ti learned from the mouth of the fourth prince Zhou Huan that the emperor Zhou Tian had died, and his heart was full of grief.
Zhou Ti looked at Zhou Huan, the fourth prince who was still injured on his body, and said: "The first emperor's force has already broken through the level of the Great Martial Sect, who can defeat the first emperor?"
The fourth prince, Zhou Huan, said: "It is Shi Dewa and Feng Dewa, Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, also died at the hands of their brothers, and the cracks in my ribs are all given by Shi Dewa and Feng Dewa." ”
Zhou Ti said: "You are here to avenge the former emperor! Okay! I can't ignore the enemy's hatred, so I'll go down the mountain to find Shi Dewa and Feng Dewa!"
