Chapter 16 The Intention of Practice
The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn.
On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach.
This is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, written about the scenery of Yangzhou. The 24 Bridge is a bridge on the Slender West Lake, the most famous scenery in Yangzhou, Yin Zhiping is now boating on the Slender West Lake, looking at this famous 24 Bridge.
There were also Li Mochou, Zhang Yibi, and Zhang Yixin on the boat, but Zhang Yibi specially invited the three of them to swim in the lake and took them to enjoy the scenery of the Slender West Lake, so as to fulfill his friendship as half of the landlord.
Among the four, Yin Zhiping had never been to Yangzhou in this era; Li Mochou had only been to Yangzhou two or three times before; Zhang Yixin had only been to Yangzhou once when he was a child; so it was true that Zhang Yibi was the most familiar with Yangzhou and had come the most often, so he could be added to half of the landlords.
Yin Zhiping and Zhang Yixin came to Yangzhou this time for Zhang Yibi, his matter has been resolved, and both of them have nothing else to do, and they are not in a hurry to leave, so they have leisure to enjoy the scenery. As for Li Mochou, it is completely with Yin Zhiping, and whatever Yin Zhiping does, she will follow.
When Yin Zhiping and Zhang Yibi had their first meeting on the Yueyang Tower, Li Mochou was also present, but at that time, in order to avoid trouble, Yin Zhiping gave Li Mochou a fake identity of Mo Zhiqiu, and he also said this name when he introduced it to Zhang Yibi. This time I don't have to hide it, I have reintroduced it. As early as last night, before drinking, I introduced it to Zhang Yibi, which surprised Zhang Yibi for a long time. As for the relationship between Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou, Yin Zhiping didn't specifically explain it, but it is estimated that Zhang Yixin had already revealed it to her cousin.
Anyway, when Zhang Yibi looked at the two of them today. Always treat the two as a couple. However, he knew that Yin Zhiping's identity was a little embarrassing, so he didn't say anything. Everyone understands each other's hearts, that's it.
The four of them talked and chatted while enjoying the scenery while swimming in the lake. Zhang Yibi has decided. After giving some brief explanations about the teaching affairs of the Central Plains, he went to the Mingjiao General Altar in the Western Regions with Zhang Yixin. Not to mention what he promised Zhang Yiming, Zhang Sangun was seriously ill, and since he, a nephew, had already received the news, he naturally had to rush to visit.
The four of them came in the afternoon, swam the lake until the evening, enjoyed the scenery on the Slender West Lake, and returned in the afterglow of the sunset.
After nightfall, Zhang Yibi held a banquet in the restaurant where everyone lived. It is also a farewell wine, because tomorrow everyone will be separated. Yin Zhiping, Li Mochou, and Shoujing are going back to Suzhou tomorrow, and Zhang Yibi and Zhang Yixin's cousins are also leaving Yangzhou. Then, he and Zhang Yixin rushed to the Western Regions General Altar.
After a big drunk last night, he did a foolish thing, but today Yin Zhiping didn't dare to get drunk again, and the taste of the hangover was not good. He had wanted to take a drunken moment last night to forget his sorrows, but he didn't want to wake up even more sorrowful.
What happened after getting drunk last night. He still couldn't remember anything about it. He really didn't like this kind of situation of falling into a delirious situation and letting things get out of control, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would never get drunk again in the future, and it was a mistake to get drunk.
But to accompany Zhang Yibi, I had a lot of fun. Yin Zhiping still accompanied him during the banquet and drank bitterly. It's just that as soon as he gets drunk, he will resolve it with internal force, and he doesn't dare to open up and let himself get drunk.
After the feast. Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. But after Yin Zhiping returned to the room, he was a little upset. I couldn't meditate, and I couldn't sleep when I lay down in bed. Fidgeting in the room. He sprang out of the open window, rolled onto the roof, and lay down on the sloping tile, blowing the cool night breeze, looking at the waning moon in the night sky.
Although he is reunited with Li Mochou today, it is really difficult for him to be very happy in his heart. For it was not of his own will, but in the morning conditions in which he could not bear or say no.
Originally, he had determined that he would break up to the end this time and completely cut off the emotional entanglement with Li Mochou, but after only one night, things suddenly took a sharp turn in the opposite direction, which was really unexpected and made him unacceptable for a while. It is precisely because he violated his original intention that his mood today is really not high.
With this kind of reluctantly agreed, he didn't know how long Lu Dao could last with Li Mochou. And he felt that it would be difficult for the two of them to return to the same level as before. Although it is a compound, the rift is still there. He didn't know what Li Mochou was thinking, but it was only a day before he suddenly had a big change in attitude. Sometimes he was really worried in his heart, Li Mochou Mo didn't go crazy because he was stimulated too much.
I can't figure out what to think about Li Mochou, it's really cut, and it's messy. He sighed helplessly, shook his head and shook off Li Mochou's matter, thinking of the Ba Si Pa incident that Zhang Yiming told him last night.
This Phags-pa is a famous figure in history, and he is a genius in real history, and he is naturally even more talented in this world, which is not trivial. Even before the Golden Wheel Dharma King, he had already begun to practice the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong". If Phag-pa had already practiced to the level of the later Golden Wheel Dharma King in the original book, I am afraid that he would not be the opponent of this Phag-pa now.
"It's a pity that Zhang Yiming didn't find out how many layers of Ba Sipa's "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" was practiced. If you can know the Tao in advance, you can make some targeted preparations in advance. He said that Pas-pa had already been released this year, and he did not know if he had arrived in the Central Plains now. I had to go back and inform the beggars and ask them to help me keep an eye on whether any Tibetan monks had entered the Central Plains. If I can know the whereabouts of this monk in advance, I can make some preparations. ”
Yin Zhiping thought to himself in his heart, putting aside Li Mochou's matter, but his mind gradually calmed down.
Sitting up straight, he decided to meditate on the roof for a while to calm his mind. The practice of martial arts, to the end of the year, also to go to the cultivation of the mind, the heart is not strong, the mind is uncertain, it is easy to be disturbed by external objects, it is difficult to make progress. And the mind is not good, and the strength that you have cannot be controlled.
In the cultivation of internal strength, the concept of "meaning" is very emphasized. Intention to keep the dantian, the intention to penetrate the body, to the intention to resist the qi and so on. What drives the internal force to run in the meridians, what does it depend on, is this meaning. Intention is not only the mind, but also the will and the mind. The stronger the mind, the more able to control the internal force as the arm commands, the more flexible and free, and the faster the progress in the cultivation of internal strength.
It's just that since ancient times in martial arts, there has been no specific cultivation method for such things. can only rely on more experience and more training to grow slowly. In addition, it is some calming and calming kung fu, which also has some auxiliary effects on the growth of consciousness. This is also the reason why since ancient times, the two sects of Buddha and Tao have been particularly easy to achieve in the cultivation of internal strength. Because meditation, fasting and other meditation exercises are their housekeeping skills, and their intentions are naturally stronger than ordinary people. (To be continued......)
