Chapter 478: Great Virtue and High Cultivation
"Wu Gensheng lost both his parents when he was born, so he took his adoptive father's surname Feng. Because his pupils were bright, big and shining, like the twinkling stars and moon, he was named Yao!"
Suddenly, Murong Ji's pupils shrank. Yaoxing Society? ! ! Is this really what Xingyao meant? ! !
Murong Ji lowered his eyes, glanced at Qu Tong, and then continued: "That old Taoist Feng is an ordinary person. He is a god spirit born without roots. He grew up naturally with his own innate Qi. He has no sect or school!"
"That statement is actually not true! Although Old Taoist Feng is an ordinary person, he is definitely an existence that ordinary people cannot reach."
"I am saying the following to make you understand how extraordinary Taoist Feng is."
"The influence of saints on the world can be divided into two types: one is the thoughts passed down, and the other is the skills passed down."
"Confucianists have three conditions for becoming a saint: establishing virtue, establishing merit, and establishing words. In other words, their practice is different from that of other schools."
"Instead, he abandoned fate and directly cultivated himself with his mind and nature. The Doctrine of the Mean says, 'Nature is destiny, and following nature is the Way.'"
“Only the most sincere person in the world can fulfill his nature. If he can fulfill his nature, he can fulfill the nature of man. If he can fulfill the nature of man, he can fulfill the nature of things. If he can fulfill the nature of things, he can praise the transformation and nurturing of heaven and earth. If he can praise the transformation and nurturing of heaven and earth, he can be equal to heaven and earth.”
"The key point lies in these four words, 'can compare to heaven and earth'! In other words, it is the skill of achieving the unity of man and nature."
"To do one's best is to refine one's mind and nature to achieve enlightenment. This is the Confucian method of cultivating the inner sage's mind. This mind refers to the root of man, the innate Qi."
Qu Tong probably understood what he said, and after a little thought, he asked, "You mean, that Taoist Feng is also an extraordinary person, but he doesn't cultivate his acquired Qi, but directly works on his innate Qi?"
"So, Wu Gensheng couldn't sense his Qi and said he was an ordinary person?"
Murong Ji nodded. In fact, if you think about it, you can imagine how wealthy people were to be able to survive in that era and have enough food to raise a child.
"Taoism and Buddhism both have similar methods of cultivating immortals. They meditate on Zen and seek enlightenment, and directly work on the innate Qi. They follow the path of Laozi and Confucius. Or, in other words, that was the way it was in that era."
"That's why there are so many schools of thought. This direct way of enlightenment lasted until the end of the Han Dynasty when the world changed drastically and Zhang Daoling cultivated the acquired Qi..."
These are Murong Ji's guesses and inferences, and they cannot be taken literally. No one can be sure of the situation at that time.
Qu Tong gradually came back to her senses, "No wonder Wu Gensheng could make Wu Man realize something several nights ago..."
Murong Ji's pupils shrank slightly. He also read Jin Feng's memory. "Wu Man, this is not the way to go."
"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to overcome all suffering. After this sentence is translated..."
"That is, to use the wisdom of Prajna to look after the heart, to see the nature of the mind. To cultivate the profound supreme wisdom to save oneself. To see through the world, see through life. To achieve great enlightenment to save others and oneself."
"Wu Man's behavior is good, but he is trapped in a dilemma, which is the endless cycle of seeking the truth, like the death spiral of ants. The road to heaven has no end, so how can it be a circle?"
"How could what Wu Man saw be the true fruit of Buddhahood? Wu Gensheng is presumptuous of being a teacher and has pointed Wu Man to a dead end."
Qu Tong couldn't understand the reason behind it, she couldn't understand...
"What about Wu Gensheng?"
Murong Ji came back to his senses and continued, "The answer is right in front of you. Taoist Feng is not a simple person. His level of cognition is beyond that of ordinary people. He raised Wu Gensheng and taught him until he was an adult."
"What he was taught was this inner sage method. Then the origin of the divine spirit and wisdom came out."
"In the 15th chapter of the "Chuan Xi Lu", there is a sentence: Between heaven and earth, man is the heart. What is man's heart?"
"Wang Yangming gave an answer: spiritual enlightenment. People have spiritual enlightenment as their heart."
"My wisdom is the master of heaven, earth, ghosts, and gods. Without my wisdom, who can look up to the height of the earth? Without my wisdom, who can look down to its depth? Without my wisdom, who can tell the fortune, misfortune, disaster, or auspiciousness of ghosts and gods? Without my wisdom, there would be no heaven, earth, ghosts, gods, or all things."
"That old Taoist taught him the fundamental method of Wang Yangming. Who knows, maybe that old Taoist is the direct descendant of Wang Yangming."
"So, Wu Gensheng's innate Qi is so active and strong, so Wu Gensheng can find the Tongtian Valley here."
"Besides, look at his actions. As a Quan Xing person, he is the leader of the most chaotic sect among the aliens. He is able to restrain his lawless disciples, but he turns a blind eye to the evil deeds of his disciples."
"The most treacherous and evil people are willing to obey orders, and the most kind and true people are sincere in their interactions. Being able to do this is really something that people envy."
Not to mention other things, Murong Ji himself did not have this state of mind, otherwise he would not have taken so many detours.
"He acts eccentrically, but he follows his heart. He is a man of integrity, but he is not a wicked person. He does not do good things, but he is recognized by decent people. In short, you can say that it is his personality charm, or that the thirty-six people he is friends with are all evil people with evil thoughts."
"It can all be summed up in one sentence: use things to understand the truth and use things to achieve yourself. Other than that, I can't think of any other reasons."
"Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is the study of things. To know good and evil is to go to the whole nature, where there are the most evil people. 'Doing good and eliminating evil' is his practice."
Murong Ji said a lot, but Qu Tong remained silent. There were too many schools of cultivation in the world, and they were too complicated. The methods of cultivation for each one were different when broken down.
After a long silence, when Murong Ji was about to fall asleep, a voice suddenly came to his ears. "Practice is so difficult..."
Murong Ji deeply agrees that the difficulty of cultivation is not how good your aptitude is. Aptitude is like the shoes on your feet, which can only make you walk faster, but cannot determine how far you can go. If you don't accumulate your own consciousness, you will not be able to nurture your own soul, and you will be weak in the later stage and stop moving forward.
If you think about it carefully, which of those great virtues and high cultivation achieved it by lying down? And which of them was not a well-educated person?
Yanhuang, Jichang, Zhougong, Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzhou, Mencius... Newton, Einstein and so on.
Which of these people does not fulfill the principles of nature and humanity?
In the following days, Murong Ji found the center of the formation, slightly changed the changes in the aura, and created a steep cliff.
A Qiheng Palace was excavated, and formation patterns were set up to connect the Qi Bureau.
There are many medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests, and Murong Ji began to treat Qu Tong's body.
With Qu Tong, he sat cross-legged to practice, relying on the power of heaven and earth to practice, which could achieve twice the result with half the effort. The effect was just like being in the womb.
Unfortunately, what increased was the acquired Qi, not the innate Qi. For Murong Ji, the increased true Qi was enough.
Qu Tong opened her eyes slightly, somewhat surprised at how fast her cultivation was going. It seemed like this was another self-cultivation furnace, but this kind of furnace had no one holding it.
He took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Murong Ji, as if he had merged into one with the mountain, carefully sensing his body.
As long as my skills are running, there will be a force constantly flushing my meridians. This feeling is very comfortable.
Her Qi grew rapidly.
Suddenly, she saw a white jade bead floating in. Qu Tong's face stiffened instantly. She didn't want others to notice the strangeness of this place.
"Er Zhuang, you're back."
Qu Tong stood up. She didn't know if Gao Erzhuang could hear her, but she could only take a chance now. "He is in seclusion. Don't disturb him."
Then he walked outside.
Gao Erzhuang, who was in soul state, sneered, waved his hand, and let the white jade bead follow her out, then looked up into the cave.
The energy changes everywhere were clearly visible to her.
No matter how it changes, it will eventually turn into a gentle force and flow into Murong Ji's body, nourishing his body and soul.
[His golden body of spirit and soul was forged in this way! ]
Gao Erzhuang sat cross-legged in Qu Tong's original position and began to practice his skills. The next moment, it seemed as if his whole body was integrated into this energy situation, as if he was being recharged, feeling numb and comfortable.
When Qu Tong came back, she secretly exhaled, sat down again, and began to practice her skills. However, for some reason, she always felt that someone was stealing her resources.
Time passed quickly, Qu Tong's satellite phone rang, and the three of them woke up instantly.
After Qu Tong finished answering the phone, she said, "Honey, they've left."
Murong Ji suddenly remembered that he still had things to do, so he stood up without saying anything more and walked outside.
A day later, Murong Ji stood on the cliff and looked at the people entering the mountain, including Wang Zhenqiu, Zhang Chulan, Jin Feng, Xia Liuqing, Feng Baobao, and Barron.
"They are all familiar faces, and they move pretty quickly."
Murong Ji muttered something, and the next moment, Gao Erzhuang's voice came from his phone, "Brother Murong, I have set up a one-way audio channel for you."
Just as he was about to refuse, Jin Feng's voice came through the phone, "When the headmaster brought me here..."
Murong Ji heard the conversation of several people clearly. In an instant, Murong Ji stopped refusing. Er Zhuang's ability was truly invincible in this world.
"Er Zhuang, help me contact Mr. Zhao and ask him to find a place where there is no one." Tongtian Valley is not his final destination, there are still many places he needs to visit.
Qu Tong walked away from behind and stood beside Murong Ji, saying softly: "Those people have also arrived, but they took another road."
Murong Ji nodded, and before he could speak, Qu Tong suddenly asked, "Husband, what do you want to verify?"
Murong Ji didn't answer, turned around and left, looking in another direction.
Soon, a group of foreign friends began to enter the valley.
Murong Ji stood on the top of the mountain, looking down, feeling a chill in his heart.
"Brother Murong, Director Zhao has been contacted."
