Shi Zhixuan landed the sunspot cleanly, seeing Yu Wenyong on the opposite side twisting the white son between his fingers, staring at the chessboard and falling into deep thought, Shi Zhixuan took the gap to pick up the tea cup on the stone table and brought it to his lips, and sniffed the slightly bitter and intoxicating fragrance of the top tribute tea between his nose.

After a while, Yu Wenyong finally thought about it, and said casually: "Pei Qing hasn't come to play with me for a long time, right?"

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty cares about the world, and every day is in charge, how dare the minister disturb Your Majesty too much?"

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh...... The ancients don't deceive me!" Yu Wenyong sighed, "Every day, government affairs are piled up, so that I can't help but be distracted from morning to night, and I can't help but think about the handling of one or more political affairs every moment, I must be perfect, otherwise I will be worried in my heart, and my thoughts will be sluggish, and I will be walking on thin ice!"

"Oh?" Shi Zhixuan sighed lightly, put down the teacup, twisted the trumpet, and continued: "This is the vision that many cultivators dream of...... Wechen hereby congratulates Your Majesty on getting better on the road of refining gods!"

Yu Wenyong couldn't help but raise his gaze on the chessboard, and his expression was slightly solemn, "Why did Pei Qing say this?"

"Martial arts practice, like people drinking water, knows their own warmth and coldness...... Outsiders can only scratch their boots, in short. Shi Zhixuan groaned slightly, "Your Majesty heard that in the old years, His Majesty had a close relationship with Wei Yuansong and Zhang Bin, two moral feathers, and Yu Dao and Yi Zhixue entered the room...... In this case, the minister might as well try to explain a thing or two to His Majesty with the Taoist metaphysics. ”

Yu Wenyong smiled bitterly, and said with embarrassment: "Pei Qing doesn't have to put gold on my face, I didn't have to deal with Wei Yuansong and Zhang Bin at the beginning, not to participate in the study of metaphysics, Yu Dao and Yi Gao's arguments are just a superficial taste." ”

In fact, Wei Yuansong participated in Buddhism as a young man, and also became a monk, and then befriended Zhang Bin, a Taoist Yushi, studied Taoism, and finally took off his monk's clothes, changed into Taoist robes, and turned into a Taoist celebrity, and wrote Yuwen Yong said: "Tang and Yu have no Buddha to seek national security; But benefiting the people and the country will be Buddha's heart. Those who have the heart of the Buddha are based on great kindness, live in peace and happiness, and never work hard for the people. "It is recommended to destroy the Buddha, which can be said to have won the heart of Yuwen Yong.

It's a pity that Yuwen Yong was forced by the situation later, not only forbidding the Buddha, but also banning the Tao, but the latter is not as strict as the former. At the same time, Yu Wenyong also had to set an example and alienate Wei Yuansong, which was suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, which was very criticized.

It's no wonder that when he mentions Wei Yuansong, he is embarrassed.

Shi Zhixuan's eyes were condensed, and he said leisurely: "Daomen cultivation is based on yin and yang to reason, with the three elements of essence, qi and spirit as the core, that is, the common saying "refining and refining qi", "refining qi and transforming gods", and "refining gods and returning to emptiness".

Those who don't know what to do will mistakenly think that the three levels of refining, refining, and refining spirits must be carried out step by step, layer by layer, and forcibly split them into many single small steps, such as cultivating essence, refining essence, refining qi, refining qi, transforming gods, refining gods, and so on, but in fact, it doesn't matter, it's ridiculous!"

Yu Wenyong couldn't help but sigh lightly, and his eyes lit up.

Shi Zhixuan's eyes flashed with a look of reminiscence, "At the beginning of our practice, we accumulated energy and energy, no matter whether we were moving and still working, we all needed to coordinate the three of our body, mind and mind, and we had never heard that one of our physical and mental intentions was missing and could enter the room!"

Yu Wenyong had a little aftertaste, and couldn't help but praise lightly: "Not bad!"

Shi Zhixuan said eloquently, "The refining of the essence depends on the body, the refining of qi depends on the heart, and the refining of the gods depends on the mind...... At the beginning of the practice, if the body, mind and mind are pure and unique, the body is fixed, the heart is pure, and the mind is sincere, then the practice will advance by leaps and bounds, that is, the three elements of essence, qi and spirit will be practiced together.

Therefore, even if a cultivator who has just started [refining and refining qi], no matter how much energy, momentum, and mind is stronger than ordinary people, it is not just energy.

In this way, the three layers of [refining and refining qi], [refining qi and transforming gods], and [refining gods and returning to the void] are all refining the three elements of essence and qi from beginning to end, rather than one or two of the three elements of a certain layer of specialized refining.

The difference is that [refining and refining qi] is mainly to nourish and refine essence, and if the yuan essence is overflowing, it cannot stop transforming vitality, and it is best to cooperate closely in a state of meditation and concentration, so that refining qi and refining can be regarded as a shallow taste;

[Refining Qi and Transforming God] is mainly to refine the Yuan Qi, and the pure spirit of the Yuan Qi does not stop nourishing the Yuan Shen, during which the Yuan Jing must be inexhaustible, and the divine will is unswerving, and the requirements for the Yuan Jing and the will are further improved, which can be described as subtly refining and refining the God again.

[Refining the Spirit] seems to be focusing on the most unfathomable, mysterious and mysterious Yuan Shen Kung Fu, but in fact, at this stage, the essence and spirit have been blended into one, and refining the spirit is the three elements of the essence and the spirit, which is in harmony with the void. ”

Yu Wenyong's eyes were full of light, and he faintly realized something, and muttered to himself: "Refining the gods......"

Shi Zhixuan put the finishing touches on it in a timely manner: "Just as there are thousands of types of ancestral qi refining skills for everyone, each person's method of refining the gods is also different, depending on each person's unique state of mind, will, and environment and status.

The subtlety of refining gods lies in doing nothing, intentionally or unintentionally, it can be said that there is no most brilliant method of refining gods, only the most suitable method of refining gods.

In the world, the method of refining the gods is by no means limited to the meditation and meditation and meditation methods that are customary in the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism, as well as the methods of self-harm and asceticism in the Demon Gate.

Various behaviors such as reciting poems and painting, playing the piano, playing chess, chanting and chanting, touring the mountains and rivers, watching the wind and the moon, cultivating land and fishing, washing and cooking, and so on, all of them must become one of the external manifestations of refining the gods.

And the most common and favorite method of alchemy used by our martial artists is to fight with life and death, sharpen the spiritual will with the great terror and perseverance between life and death, and gain spiritual wisdom. ”

Yu Wenyong was shocked, "Do nothing, intentionally or unintentionally...... In this way, when I was immersed in governing the country, I was also unintentionally refining my gods?"

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said, "If this is not the case, with His Majesty's resolute will, how can he be inexplicably resentful of the failure to handle one or two government affairs perfectly?"

After all, the emperor is the supreme head of politicians, and the necessary skills of politicians such as compromise and mud are at the pinnacle, and they are two diametrically opposed creatures to the paranoid pursuit of perfection.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor can drag mud and water, be ambiguous, or turn a blind eye against his will, pretending to be confused, but it is impossible to drill the horns of the bull.

Only when the emperor begins the process of refining his heart and refining his spirit, consciously or unintentionally, acts with the feeling of his true self and pursues the perfection of his state of mind and thoughts, will his thoughts be clogged because he has done something contrary to his heart in handling government affairs, and it will be difficult to let go for a long time.

Yu Wenyong pondered for a moment, took a long breath, and said happily: "Pei Qingguo is a mentor and helpful friend, listening to your words is better than me building a car behind closed doors for more than ten years!"

"Your Majesty has praised ......" Shi Zhixuan smiled humbly and reminded: "It's time for Your Majesty to fall down." ”

Yu Wenyong refocused his attention on the chessboard, dropped a son, and suddenly said: "I have made up my mind, and in May Jichou (23) will go out to fight against the Turks, and the troops will advance in five ways. ”

Shi Zhixuan laughed, full of pride, "Your Majesty's destiny is in your body, and the battle will be won!"

After a pause, he said regretfully: "Chen Jiuwen Bi Xuan Venerable is the strongest master in the history of the Turks, and this expedition to the Turks is a God-given opportunity to fight with him...... However, He Chen has made a breakthrough in his deeds recently, and he needs to settle down from time to time, so I'm afraid he won't be able to go north to the prairie with His Majesty!"

Yuwen Yong paused slightly, not only didn't mind, but smiled heartily, "It seems that you and I really have a good heart...... In fact, I originally planned to keep you in Chang'an to assist the prince in the regent of the state, just in case.

In particular, it should be noted that the Southern Dynasties knew that the main force of our Great Zhou was about to conquer the Turks in the north, and since March they had been hoarding warships and soldiers on the Huainan border, stirring up the wind and rain, not only wanting to use this feint attack to force us to divide our troops to resist and increase the difficulty of our army's northern expedition against the Turks, but also to turn a feint attack into a strong attack at any time when our army was fighting with the Turks, and swallow up a large area of land in our Huaibei.

I vaguely heard that Chen Ji had been sick from time to time recently, but I didn't think that his ambition would not be reduced in the slightest......"

Perhaps after the annexation of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the future of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was bright, and there was an endless stream of masters who attached to the imperial court.

Shi Zhixuan listened attentively on the surface, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart: "If it weren't for knowing that your emperor's heart was perfect, and he ordered me to preside over the court, he would definitely arrange for Yu Wenxian to stay in Chang'an to secretly supervise and balance me, maybe I would really have the feeling that a little bit of a confidant would die...... Of course, the premise is that I still have the consciousness of being a loyal servant and lackey in the depths of my conscience!"

Originally, after getting along for so long, Shi Zhixuan was a little unbearable to participate in the murder of Yuwen Yong, but when he thought of the cold-blooded and ruthless nature of the emperor and politician that Yu Wenyong had shown from beginning to end, the only remaining trace of entanglement suddenly dissipated indifferently.
