Chapter 119: Tao Te Ching
Time passed little by little, and Xu Lai gradually felt as if his body was no longer his own.
However, it was also at this time that the qi and blood in the body finally slowly became lively.
A hint of joy flashed in Xu Lai's heart, and he ran more attentively and harder.
With his pace, his qi and blood recovered little by little, as if a giant dragon was gradually waking up.
Xu Lai's steps became more powerful, and his breathing gradually became smoother.
The complexion, which had turned pale and blue due to lack of oxygen, gradually became ruddy. The surging qi and blood churned in the body like a giant dragon, providing a steady stream of strength to Xu Lai's body.
Xu Lai ran more and more easily, faster and faster, until the electric bell suddenly rang, Xu Lai realized that he had run 10,000 meters.
The silence in the school was suddenly broken, and the sound of cars driving into the campus sounded at the school gate.
The sound of buckets and basins hitting and catching water gradually came from the dormitory building.
Xu Lai ran under the faucet and washed his face, and the cold tap water was poured on his face, giving people the same feeling of happiness.
Xu Lai exhaled deeply, wiped his face casually, and walked towards the teaching building.
The sound of the horn did not sound, which means that there was no morning exercise this morning.
A smile flashed on Xu Lai's face, the first 10,000 meters were completed, not to mention the followers.
In short, he learned kung fu from Fang Qianluo, and that was a matter of learning.
Thinking of Fang Qianluo's unpredictable kung fu, Xu Lai's heart was full of expectations, and what he was even more looking forward to was how wonderful it would be to learn kung fu from Fang Qianluo?
In anticipation, Xu Lai quickly came to the classroom and sat down, at this time, there were no other students in the classroom.
Looking at Fang Qianluo's empty seat in front of him, Xu Lai suddenly stretched out his hand and opened Fang Qianluo's desk.
The inside of Fang Qianluo's table was very neat, and a book was neatly stacked on top of each other.
Xu took a look, and there were books such as "Tao Te Ching", "Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Tang and Song Poems and Yuan Qu", and "Book of Changes".
No wonder Fang Qianluo's language can get full marks! Xu Lai sighed in admiration, and took a copy of the "Tao Te Ching" and read it.
Fang Qianluo's "mentality theory" that reads more, Xu Lai still agrees with it, because he is the beneficiary of the "mentality theory".
And the two poems of Master Shenxiu and the Sixth Ancestor Huineng benefited Xu Lai a lot.
Shenxiu's poems are just that, but the poems of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng really made Xu Lai have a big breakthrough.
Like the ability to scan the soul, it is also because of the poems of the six ancestors Huineng.
"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. Xu Lai's eyes were confused and deep, the wisdom of the ancients was really incredible, and such philosophical proverbs could be written.
Of course, this is also a blessing thanks to Fang Qianluo, otherwise, Xu Lai doesn't know when he will notice this poem.
And the mentality that Fang Qianluo said, Xu Lai also has a deep understanding.
Different from what Master Shenxiu said about wiping diligently, Master Shenxiu means that you should always be vigilant to the changes in your own mind, keep a calm mind, and when there is something that affects the peace of mind, you must wipe it off.
Fang Qianluo's meaning is to fundamentally improve the spiritual literacy, cultivate a broad mind, so that the soul does not have negative emotions.
Master Shenxiu is passive, while Fang Qianluo's is active.
The former is to be vigilant against changes in the mind, and once the mind changes, wipe it off and bring it back on track, while the latter is to improve the spiritual literacy and fundamentally eliminate the possibility of mutation in the mind.
Focusing on Xu Lai, Master Shenxiu meant that when negative emotions appeared, they would be decisively wiped away to return the soul to calm, while Fang Qianluo's was better, enhancing personal cultivation and improving spiritual literacy.
This reminded Xu Lai of a sentence: Watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and the clouds outside the sky are rolling.
So is it better to be vigilant about your negative emotions at all times, or to eliminate negative emotions at all?
In terms of good or bad, the latter is naturally better, but unfortunately, how many people in this world may not be able to bear negative emotions in their hearts? It is not easy to be vigilant at all times and wipe it diligently.
If you really have the mentality of "watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and wandering with the clouds outside the sky", what can break your inner peace?
Xu Lai shook his head, opened the "Tao Te Ching" and read it seriously.
This book was read by Fang Qianluo himself, and he didn't know if it was an illusion or what, when he read the book, Xu Lai always felt that there seemed to be a taste of Fang Qianluo on it.
This made him smile a little helplessly, is this his crush Fang Qianluo going crazy?
"Tao Te Ching" is a very interesting book, known as the first book of Taoism, in many people say that "Tao Te Ching" has the top Taoist cultivation methods, but there are also many people say that "Tao Te Ching" is just a book that writes about family thoughts.
Xu Lai didn't know who to believe, but now, he was just holding the mentality of estimating and seeing.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always none, and I want to see its wonder, and I always have, I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ”
This is the beginning of the "Tao Te Ching", Xu Lai frowned, he couldn't say it, he saw it, and he remembered it, but just like what it said, it was mysterious and mysterious, so that people didn't understand it at all. It's just that I don't understand, but I feel like I've realized something, and I don't find anything in my head.
Xu Lai felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning in this, but on the contrary, he couldn't say what the true meaning was.
Xu Lai thought for a while, and after not getting the gist, he continued to look back.
This "Book of Virtues" is really very interesting, broad and profound, and with his wisdom, it is impossible to understand at all.
"The goodness is like water, and the water is good for all things without fighting, which is the virtue of humility, so the rivers and seas can be the king of a hundred valleys, and the king of a hundred valleys can be the king of a hundred valleys with its goodness. The world is not weak in the water, and the strong can win, this with soft virtue, so the soft is better than the strong, the weak is stronger than the strong, because it has nothing, the help can enter the none, which can be known to teach without words, and the benefit of nothing. ”
"The world is weaker than water, and the strong can win, and it is not easy. The soft is better than the strong, the weak is stronger than the strong, the world knows everything, and nothing can be done. With its indisputable, so the world can not fight with it, this is to imitate the water virtue, water is more than the road, the road is omnipresent, the water is not unfavorable, avoid the high trend, have not tasted the reverse, good place, empty place is quiet, unfathomable, good for the abyss, loss is inexhaustible, do not seek retribution, good for benevolence. ”
This is the statement about water in the Tao Te Ching, which can be said to be a profound interpretation of the way of water.
Xu Lai thought about this passage back and forth several times, and gradually felt that he had gained something. The water is soft, and it is rigid, nothing can break when it is soft, and it breaks the mountains and the ground when it is just time!
Xu Lai thought about it and shook his head, this was his understanding, however, it was of no use to him.
