Chapter 25 Civil, Military
Zhao Shoucheng is now seventy-five years old, but due to his cultivation of martial arts, he has always maintained the appearance of middle age. A face with a national character, a majestic demeanor, simply standing there, there is a majestic momentum emanating.
This kind of majesty is in the bones, and it is completely different from what ordinary people call "majesty", and the grade is much higher.
Since Zhao Shoucheng entered the house, even the lively and active Zhao Ling'er has become well-behaved.
The long-standing "Jiwei" is not something that can be shaken by a mere character.
I saw Zhao Shoucheng walk in without saying a word, and when he was the master of the dining table, he directly ordered his subordinates to open the meal.
Zhao Xuan didn't know what the situation was like when he was away, but in "history", whenever he sat at the dinner table, he had never seen Zhao Shoucheng laugh once.
He didn't even say much.
I don't know if Zhao Shoucheng's personality is like this, or if he is not welcomed.
Of course, Zhao Xuan is still very self-aware and biased towards the second possibility: if he has such a son, he will not be seen after a long time!
In ancient times, we all paid attention to food and did not say anything, and the same is true of this world. The family eats quietly and silently, which is also a lot of pressure for Zhao Xuan.
He was afraid that Zhao Shoucheng would see that there was something wrong with him, and he might not be able to explain it when the time came.
You must know that this Zhao Shoucheng's cultivation is superb, according to Zhao Xuan's understanding of this world, his cheap father definitely belongs to the top of the category.
The cultivation of this world is divided into two paths: Wen and Wu, and its Chinese cultivation talent and martial arts are divided into nine layers. The cultivation of the Wendao is in the order of Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, Scholar, Confucian, Semi-Sage, Yasheng, and Sage, and the order of martial arts cultivation is: Practicing Essence, Keeping Spirit, Knowing Knowledge, Returning to Truth, Practicing God, Jindan, Transforming God, Faxiang, Hedao, and God.
Zhao Shoucheng is now in the realm of "turning into a god", according to the system of this world, Wen Xiu becomes holy, and Wu Xiu becomes a god. Turning into a god is the most important step from "human" to "god"!
Zhao Xuan has been "inquiring" around for so many years, and he told him that if a martial artist cultivates, as long as he reaches the realm of returning to the truth, he will have a longevity of two hundred years. Further up, it multiplies. When you reach the realm of transforming into gods, living to be 1,800 years old is like having fun.
Such a long lifespan also means that cultivation is extremely difficult, and Zhao Shoucheng reached the god transformation at the age of only seventy-five, which can be described as an out-and-out genius.
This genius is not Zhao Xuanfeng's, but the first genius recognized by this world!
As far as Zhao Xuan knew, the martial arts cultivation in this world seemed to be similar to the cultivation of immortals. First, when you start refining and refining qi, when you feel qi in your body, you have to contemplate something in your mind. The Transformation Realm is to "concretize" that kind of thing.
For example, if a person visualizes a sun, and when he reaches the realm of transforming into a god, he is turning his "primordial god" into a round of sun. After that, the "law phase" is to be able to make the "primordial spirit" manifest and so on.
Of course, this so-called "Yuan Shen" is just Zhao Xuan's statement, and things similar to "Yuan Shen" in this world have their own names in this world.
And when you reach the realm of "god man", you can control a certain law of this world. If a person's "dharma appearance" is fire, that person will become a "fire god", and if the dharma is water, that person will become a "water god".
There is only one person in this world who has truly cultivated a "god-man", and that was hundreds of thousands of years ago in the Middle Ages. In today's world, the highest known cultivation is only the transformation of gods. In the same way, the cultivation of Wendao is only a "great Confucian" corresponding to the period of transformation of the gods. However, the cultivation of Wendao does not have such a strong "longevity bonus", even if it reaches the realm of Great Confucianism, at best, it can only live for one or two hundred years. Only when you reach the half-saint will the longevity increase. But whether it is a great Confucian or a god, although the legend says that they can't open the world, but the cracking of the mountain and the stone is only a pediatric - of course, Zhao Xuan has not seen it in person, and he doesn't know if this legend is true.
As for the Half-Saints, Dharma Phases, and beyond, no one has seen them for a long time.
There are only two real "gods" and "saints", but these two people have not been born for hundreds of thousands of years, and no one knows whether they are still alive.
Although there are rumors that the true God and Holiness are immortal, who can know if the rumors are true or not?
It's not that Zhao Xuan didn't think about cultivating the two ways of civil and martial arts in this world, but unfortunately, he really couldn't cultivate.
After secretly inquisitively and eavesdropping on many sides again and again, he had to come to a helpless inference: The martial arts of this world are cultivated by the "laws" between heaven and earth. The so-called realm of gods and men is to merge with a certain law between heaven and earth, so as to be able to control that law. Then it is natural to summon thunder and lightning, spit fireballs or something. The cultivation of Wendao should be the "order" between heaven and earth. Using words or language, communicate the power of order, mobilize the spirituality between heaven and earth, so as to achieve the effect of fighting with poetry and writing, killing people with music and rhythm, and so on.
To put it simply, one is to integrate the laws of heaven and earth and cultivate oneself, and the other is to communicate with the order of heaven and earth, "reason" with heaven and earth, and then obtain certain miraculous abilities.
These two methods are similar to the ancient Chinese witchcraft, but there are some differences in the details.
In addition, the world is different, which is why it makes people look a little difficult to understand.
In fact, in essence, it is just a kind of power to control heaven and earth.
However, the bad thing is that Zhao Xuan came through and came, **is from this world**, but his soul does not belong to this world. In this way, his soul cannot be integrated with the "law" of this world, neither can he mobilize the law, nor can he "reason" with the order, and only if he can cultivate the exercises of this world can he have a ghost!
On the contrary, whether it is "** Xuanyuan Gong" or "Northern Shengong", they are just exercises to improve themselves. Although "Northern Shengong" also needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, the aura does not belong to the law, let alone to the order. In this way, without involving the laws of heaven and earth, Zhao Xuan was able to smooth his cultivation.
"Speaking of which, the exercises in this world still have certain limitations, and they may not be able to be used in other worlds. Although it is much inferior to the Northern Spiritual Skill in comparison, it is more suitable for me than it is!" Zhao Xuan thought to himself. But in his words, people can hear a taste of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour.
In fact, he also knew that he might not really be able to cultivate the exercises of this world. As long as your Yuan Shen is strong enough, you can completely "steal" the power of law and order. The stronger the Genshin, the more it will steal. What can be stolen must not be proportional to the primordial spirit. It's like the Yuan Shen is so powerful, he can obviously use himself to deliver a devastating blow, and the power of stealing the law can only make a small flame...... I'm afraid only a fool would do that!
Zhao Xuan thought about it with regret in his heart: it seems that he is the life of a 'warrior', and if he wants to be a 'mage' who collapses and cracks the earth and changes color when he waves his hand, he doesn't even think about it......
But will things really go this way? You know, everything in the world is often unexpected.
Of course, it's not that it wasn't expected......
Ahem!
......
"Third brother, let's go out together today?" After breakfast, Zhao Ling'er took Zhao Xuan to bid farewell to his parents, went out of the dining room, and turned to Zhao Xuan to ask.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Xuan to agree, took his hand, and walked directly outside.
This Zhao Linger is kind-hearted and ignorant when she was a child, but as she grows older, she feels more and more pitiful that she is a "stupid brother". can't learn literature, can't practice martial arts, and doesn't even treat her parents very well, so as long as she has the opportunity, she will always naively want to be good to her stupid brother.
The so-called "good" in her heart is nothing more than sharing Zhao Xuan with some food and play when she was a child, and when she grows up, she can go out to play and take Zhao Xuan out to play. And she naively taught Zhao Xuan to learn words - fortunately because of her naïve behavior, otherwise Zhao Xuan would really only be an illiterate person in this world where the evolution of writing has turned a corner.
Zhao Xuan was originally very happy with his cheap sister's behavior of looking for himself every once in a while and taking him out to play when he had time, after all, he was often depressed at home, and even a fool was easy to get sick. However, although he can't say at any time, he can often enter other worlds. I don't care much about whether or not I go out in this world anymore.
But now he can't be allowed to refuse: he has never refused before, and now he refuses, although Zhao Linger may not think much about it, he is still unwilling to take risks.
How much time can be wasted when you just go out and go around?
Zhao Xuan was dragged by Zhao Ling'er, followed by a maid and two guards, and a few people left Zhao's mansion and came to the street after a while.
The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and the shops on both sides are lined up one after another, and the whole capital is a lively and prosperous scene.
This world is roughly similar to ancient China, with three emperors and five emperors, Xia, Shang and Zhou. Fuxi also deduced gossip, and Shennong also tasted all kinds of herbs. The difference is that there are demons and barbarians in this world.
In ancient times, the ancient demons and witches were born with strong physiques and liked to feed on human flesh. The human race was trapped in it, unwilling to be reduced to food, and secretly observed the two races, creating their own cultivation methods. This was the formation of the original martial arts.
Although Fuxi was regarded as the "ancestor of humanity" by later generations, it was also a martial art practiced at that time.
Millions of years ago, in ancient times, the aura of heaven and earth was condensed, and ordinary people could live for hundreds of years if they were not affected by natural disasters and were not eaten by demons. Since the advent of martial arts, thousands of years have not been casually talked about.
It lasted for a long time, and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were gradually born. Fuxi performed gossip and measured the weather, and Shennong tasted herbs and diagnosed and treated diseases. It greatly increases the hope of survival of the Terrans. But it wasn't until the Xuanyuan period that the human race finally united completely and successfully repelled the demon barbarians for the first time.
After that, the five emperors ruled the world, about 100,000 years later, the last of the five emperors, Yu, cast Jiuding, divided Kyushu, and created the zào Shenzhou enchantment, and people completely got rid of the fate of being used as food by demons.
At this time, human civilization fell into a process of rapid development.
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, there was Ji Changyi, based on the Fuxi gossip, acting the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow, and founding Zhou Yi, since then, it has opened a way of literary and Taoist cultivation for mankind. This period is also known as the Middle Ages.
At that time, although the cultivation of Wendao was a grass creation, after all, it was the cultivation method of the "own" of the human race, so the cultivators still went forward and succeeded, just like a koi crossing the river.
After the research of generations of brilliant people, until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a person named "Confucius", with outstanding talent, and finally became holy. At this point, the cultivation of "Wendao" has been completely completed, and Confucius has also been called the master of all worlds, called: Confucius.
At that time, the human race had a Shenzhou enchantment, and it had long forgotten the previous history of suffering, leading to disputes among the powerful and civil strife. But the two demon barbarians have been recuperating. Seeing that the Terrans were in turmoil, they finally attacked again at this time.
Although Confucius was a sage, it was difficult for him to resist the strong men of the two races since ancient times with the strength of one person. Fortunately, at that time, there was Sun Wu, who was known as the "peerless double pride" with Confucius, and Wu cultivated into a god. The two of them are one god and one saint, and the divine joint force completely injured and disabled the two demon and barbarian races.
Legend has it that the two of them stayed away from Shenzhou, went straight into the hinterland of the demon and barbarian clans, rampaged for millions of miles, and killed hundreds of millions of living beings. This battle was fought to the point that the mountains and rivers were shattered, and the smoke and rain were scattered. In the end, the result of the war was that the demon and barbarian clans hid again, and they did not dare to appear in the field of vision of the human race for a long time.
It is a pity that no one has ever seen these "gods" and "saints" again, and no one knows whether they are still alive in the end.
Although I don't want to believe it, the demon and barbarian clans have been strong since ancient times, and no one knows if they have any secret means, so the world has speculated that Sun and Kong's "twins" have been sacrificed.
After this battle, the heavens and the earth suddenly changed greatly, and the aura decreased sharply. Whether it is a human race or a demon barbarian, it is difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult to increase longevity. Since then, it has been called the Early Antiquity period. Until now, only a few Confucians and gods are known to the world.
Of course, all of the above are legends, and they are just "eavesdropping" from Zhao Xuan everywhere, and it is impossible to know whether it is true or not with his current "identity".
It was at that time that the history of mankind began to shift its direction, and it was not until after the Qin and Han dynasties that history turned completely and was no longer the same as that of ancient China.
According to Zhao Xuan's speculation, it is because of the threat of demons and barbarism that there are no two "negative" ways of life in human civilization, Buddha and Tao. And it is precisely because of the lack of the important doctrine of "Taoism" that the later development of this world will deviate from ancient Chinese history.
As for whether the truth is really what he speculated, I'm sorry, he doesn't know.
He only knew that the current Shenzhou Continent was centered on the Jin Dynasty, surrounded by more than a dozen small countries and dozens of ethnic groups. Each other has its own battles, and outside the Shenzhou Continent, in addition to the endless ocean, it is the territory of the demon and barbarian races - as a "fool", it is not easy for him to know so much!
Precisely:
The vast continent has nine heavens, and there are demons and barbarians outside the nine heavens.
The demon man loves cannibalism, and the war between the three clans has made waves.
Barbarian refining body, demon alchemy, human law, barbarian demon civil and martial arts.
Wu Xiu became a god and became a saint, and became a god to prove that he was a demon barbarian.
Expelling demons and barbarians to set the Three Realms, and millions of years have passed like this.
For millions of years, there has only been civil and military, and there is no Buddha at all.
The world is full of sacred ways, but outside the world comes to the immortals.
Don't cultivate God, don't cultivate sacred, don't cultivate civil and military, but both.
Born only to speak the Buddha's way, the Buddha's way is one and the law is natural.
After millions of years, he made a boat out of his skin.
No matter how many storms there are in the world, you will never return until you reach the other side.
If you ask what is the name and surname of this immortal, the Taoist name is too Xuan!
He also said:
The civil and military Zhang Chi is a degree, and he is called a miracle.
Lonely souls are lonely guests for thousands of miles, and Buddhism is more mysterious.
It's not hot, it's not cold, it's swaying, and it's breathing.
The white-headed old man lowered his eyebrows, and the blue-eyed bearded monk pointed to the sky.
The wonder is to be able to generate the ontology, and to be diligent everywhere.
After three thousand achievements, I will return at ease.
Take the white tiger to the three islands during the day, and stand the ancient altar in green clothes at night.
If you can get it from this, there is no mystery outside this mystery!
