Zhuang Zhou supported old man as he walked on the street.
When people coming and going saw this old man, they all felt an unparalleled respect and respect from deep in their hearts. They immediately took two steps back to both sides and bowed to salute. Even the gangsters on the roadside were solemn at this time.
One of them was still laughing with others, and gave his boss a backhand that broke his head. After reacting, they all put on their clothes and saluted respectfully, even a little reservedly.
This is a living legend in the world.
He has been preaching here since the beginning of Nine Stone Tablets.
Their grandfathers all listened to old man's sermons, and their fathers used to play in front of old man's knees when they were young. Even they themselves, when they were learning Daoism for the first time, dressed neatly and went to see this old master.
In their eyes, this old man who preached to people all over the world was one of the most prosperous totems of the human race in this era.
On the cornice on one side, young girl, who looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, is wearing smart clothes, deerskin boots, and a long sword slung across his body. He is looking lazily at the white-haired master below, but it is the little Dragon Maiden. The dragon clan has a long life. After more than fifty years, he looks like he has only grown a year or two.
"Master, how are you today?"
"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. My cultivation has improved again."
People are laughing and saying something.
The old man responded gently.
Although everyone is practicing now and has a strong internal energy, Saint Qiu founded private schools to teach various kinds of cultivation, and the existence of Jiuding directly strengthened the talents of practitioners. As a result, in the past seventeen years, the human world has almost entered a state of [knowledge sharing]. Many problems that were caused by unreliable foundations and lack of True Disciple at the beginning, resulting in no progress after a certain level, have all been solved.
After solving these unnecessary internal consumption.
The combat power of the human world has further expanded.
Soon, Qiu integrated Yin and Yang and compiled the scriptures of Yi, so that [Yi], which was once only accessible to the most talented people, directly reduced the huge difficulty; he compiled many scriptures to provide people with different interests to practice.
He taught each of his disciples different things according to their characteristics.
For himself, he is just silent.
Master Qiu only described himself but did not write anything, and did not want to pass down his writings to future generations.
And his disciples were scattered all over the world. The three thousand disciples who entered the room represented three thousand different dharma lines and different inheritances, falling into the world like stars in the sky.
The commentators in front of Nine Stone Tablets under Jimen were stimulated.
So I started to be forced to 'roll' it up.
It also began to spread throughout the world, recruiting disciples to teach the Dharma.
Master, put everyone first.
The common people benefit.
He integrated a complete set of perfect practice paths, directly abandoning many of the code words used when the great Aristocratic Clan sects monopolized knowledge, and provided the whole world with a complete set of templates for basic practice. Qiu described the practice of this path incisively and vividly, which is enough to suit 99% of people.
A considerable part of the human race's combat power in the past has declined significantly due to the monopoly of knowledge.
Qiu smashed the door frame with one punch, and everyone in the world began to imitate it.
If we don't open the door to convenience in this way and integrate it into practice, how can we defeat this terrifying existence that is unparalleled in terms of talent, talent, and willpower?
Qiu laid the foundation and set the first step of all cultivation as [self-cultivation].
The ultimate goal is the realm of [Define the World]. Green-robed Scholar can see clearly that this so-called realm of [Define the World] is clearly the so-called Higher Vehicle way that the Daoist came to realize by sitting in front of Nine Stone Tablets. Simply put, it is [Transmitting the Dharma to the Common People. Cultivate the Dao and Attain Enlightenment, Deliver the Bewildered Multitude. Universally for All Sentient Beings, Eliminating Calamities and Obstacles].
The direct result of what Qiu has done in the past seventeen years is the blowout level expansion of the Human World practitioners.
This is to set a precedent for future generations.
Today, Qiu, who is already famous in the world, is fifty-one years old. He has once again fulfilled the agreement he made back then and came to see the nearly seventy-year-old old man. Green-robed Scholar put his hands behind his back and looked at Master Qiu walking over, Green-robed Scholar narrowed his eyes slightly.
The way of the world is an extraordinary way. Because of the Nine Cauldrons, Human Dao Destiny circulates throughout the world.
This results in that as long as the requirements are met, anyone in the human world can mobilize a certain level of Human Dao Destiny.
Primordial Prenatal Qi can burst into combat power at the level of True Person.
Ordinary people may burst out with a lethal force of Primordial Prenatal Qi at any cost.
The human race has no intention of despising the flames of war, but if an enemy comes to the human world, as long as the nine tripods are still there and the terrifying Destiny Great Formation circulates endlessly, then those enemies will face a terrifying world with a large number of people, the Emperor Wa is alive, everyone has Primordial Prenatal Qi explosive moves, and the strongest Leader of the School of Military God of War is stationed.
This does not include the schools of thought.
Qiu's existence is like a huge enemy, forcing all the schools to unite. While frantically trying to defeat Qiu's school, they secretly continue to study Qiu's school and incorporate things from his school.
Then challenge.
He continued to be pressed to the ground by one hand and rubbed.
Ravage!
Then they continued to go back and study the book angrily. They chased the figure with endless glory in history, and they also pulled themselves forward, reaching a direction that they had never thought of before.
Zhuang Zhou sent the old man to Nine Stone Tablets, then turned around and walked out to greet Qiu.
Under Jimen, it was a place where the powerful Aristocratic Clan people could live. More than fifty years ago, it was demolished by the young King Wei Wu Li Zhai at that time. Then a Daoist came from the sky and erected nine blank stone monuments. Until now, for more than fifty years, the location there is excellent, and it's not that no one is greedy.
However, the majesty of Human Emperor Li Weifeng has become even greater. Even if someone is greedy, they have not succeeded at all. Gradually, this place has become a kind of acquiescence, with some kind of value and power that exceeds Mortal world. Seventeen years ago, the thirty-four-year-old Qiu once talked about it and shocked hundreds of families.
During these seventeen years, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and various scholars discussed the Tao with great fervor and brilliance.
Human Emperor Li Weifeng smiled and called it [all the heroes in the world come here, and do not want to enter the palace and serve as officials]
[This place is also a palace].
And therefore, under Jimen.
The world calls it--
Jixia Academy.
The name Jixia is originally so simple.
When Zhuang Zhou saw Qiu again, both of them were no longer young. Qiu's expression was gentle and solemn. Zhuang Zhou looked at him for a long time and sighed. He originally planned to respond lazily, but looked at this guy again.
Thinking of this Qiu walking around the world, he even went to the Demon Kingdom Land of Ten Thousand Spirits and was trapped in the formation. He was seriously injured and starved for three days and three nights. He was so weakened by the formation that his disciples could not stand up, but he could still play the piano and sing.
I looked at his broad shoulders and arms and his kind expression.
And that sword.
Master Qiu's sword is long and has no edge.
Very convincing.
Zhuang Zhou has never been a stubborn person, so he took the initiative to hand over his hand and said, "Master Qiu is here."
He said, "Old man... ahem, I mean, Martial Uncle Ancestor is already waiting for you there." Next to Qiu, there was a man who looked cold and noble. He frowned and said, "Under the Nine Monuments, the students in the Academy are already extremely outstanding. They are famous inside and outside the Six Realms, and everyone in the world knows about it!"
"And the Hundred Schools of Thought, you all respect that old gentleman. Even if you don't call that ancestor [son] as in this era, you should still have the most basic respect!"
That man said solemnly that there was a law.
Zhuang Zhou wants to throw him into the moat and make him fish.
Doesn't he understand that this is also a kind of intimacy and respect?
Zhuang Zhou said to Qiu: "Your disciples follow the external etiquette and rules, but ignore the inner essence. The roads they find are just ropes on the outside. The trees are straight on the outside but rotten on the inside. They have grown worms. Can they be regarded as pillars?"
"In the ancient times, the people of the ancient kings did not cry when their own relatives died, and the people did not blame them. Let me see, in the ancient times, you, this disciple, should not have sprayed all the ancient kings to death?"
"You, you, you!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but blush.
Among all the sages in the world, among the many schools of thought, there are very few who can beat Zhuang Zhou in terms of discussion, not many, but very few can beat him. This guy can always say a lot that sounds ridiculous to you at first glance, but makes sense when you think about it carefully. The last time you clapped your hands, it was still ridiculous logic.
But the logic is perfect, you can't defeat him.
This guy and his friend Zhuangzi's famous paradox chatted for half an hour about whether or not they should eat fish today.
Zhuangzi's famous paradox, An Zhiyu is happy.
Non-Self, do you know that I don't know the joy of fish?
Many young urchins confronted each other and shouted, "You are stupid."
"Anyone who calls me stupid is a fool."
"The person who calls me stupid is the one who is stupid."
Zhuang Zhou enjoyed it, free and easy. Seeing that things seemed to be quarreling, he simply handed over his hand as an elder and said lazily, "Wrong, wrong, you heard wrong. I didn't mean the old man, I meant, Laozi, Laozi."
The middle-aged man said, "Are you still swearing?"
"What curse words?"
Zhuang Zhou said seriously, "old man, longevity; son, respect!"
"According to what you said, I respect him!"
"Laozi!"
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded. He simply had no idea what to do with this lazy but logically self-consistent guy in front of him. Zhuang Zhou laughed and handed over Qiu, the self-named man in front of him, and said, "Please, Qiu, the sage of the north!"
"Martial Uncle Ancestor, which is Laozi."
Zhuang Zhou, in full view of everyone, glanced at the disciple, joked in a teasing tone, and said, "He is waiting for you."
"Okay."
Qiu's expression was solemn. He and Zhuang Zhou walked side by side to old man where Jixia Academy was. Whether it was Qiu or Zhuang Zhou, there was a premonition in the Unseen that he talked to old man again that the chance was running out.
This may already be the last time.
That old man is sixty-eight years old.
Qiu's year was fifty-one.
The seventeen years between these years represent the youthful energy of old man that no one knows in this era.
He is a heroic young man that people of this era have gradually forgotten as time goes by.
Even the world is unified happened seventeen years ago. In the peaceful era, the battle of the Demon Realm more than fifty years ago has gradually turned into a legend. This era is a magnificent era, a magnificent prosperous age. The people live and work in peace and contentment and have pursuits. Who still remembers the sixteen-year-old young Daoist who came and went with a sword.
It's always like this.
Our lives, deaths and adventures became stories, and stories eventually became legends over time.
Legends will sublimate into myths one day, and our original imprints and prototypes will also completely disappear. Only after a long time, there will be short words left, which contain the grandeur of the past.
It's just that from what others read, such an earth-shattering meeting was just a simple sentence.
When Zi Xing was fifty years old, he did not hear the Tao, so he met Laozi in the south.
--<Zhuangzi·External Chapter>
When Qiu saw old man again, his expression became more humble. old man was still wearing a black robe and a light gray double-breasted jacket. His white hair was as white as silver and was tied up with a jade crown. At a glance, it was almost impossible to distinguish between the jade crown carved from Kunshan jade and old man's hair.
Qiu Gong paid a visit to him. Different from the previous two visits, Qiu Gong of this era was already famous all over the world and was no less a great sage than old man. His disciples and grandchildren opened up the cultural context after this era, and he came here to pay a visit to old man, the most virtuous and respected person before Nine Stone Tablets.
This detonated the entire world almost in an instant.
Li Weifeng had no choice but to order many guards to maintain order.
However, they never expected that nine out of ten guards would take a vacation today. If not, they would just say that they were too hungry and could not do their jobs. After the officer in charge left, they would climb up the wall and leave. Then at the next corner, they would meet the officer who had also come out, and they would share an awkward smile.
What a pity, what a pity.
The matter of discussing Daoism has still not been made public. I don't know whether it is because I want to practice Daoism and remember to aim high, or because of other reasons. This time, the discussion was the same as seventeen years ago. There were still two people, the gray-haired old man, and the fifty-one-year-old Qiu.
The recorder is Zhuang Zhou.
This discussion lasted for three months.
It's longer than before!
Someone asked the later Zhuang Zhou why he didn't practice diligently since he had seen such an unprecedented experience with his own eyes, and it was estimated that there would be no successors to talk about the Tao in the future? Zhuang Zhou remained silent for a long time, then stood with his hands behind his hands and sighed with emotion:
"My life has its limit, but I know it has no limit."
This sentence is so sad.
People feel that this undisciplined Daoist sage also has a serious side.
People think that this talented Daoist senior, after witnessing that Tao discussion with his own eyes, probably felt regret and sadness in his heart. My life has limits, but knowledge is boundless.
Immediately, I heard the Daoist senior add the next sentence, saying:
"If you follow the boundless with the boundless, you will be in danger!"
Using such a precious life to pursue the road with no limits is simply a stupid street kid.
At that time, there was a saying that those who are greedy for life and fearful of death are just pretending to be sick.
This contrast directly makes others stunned.
Zhuang Zhou recorded this sentence naturally and confidently.
Place it--<Chapter on Nurturing Life>.
Study?
There is no end to learning this stuff. You should eat and sleep when you should, so don't think too much about it.
As for the ending of this discussion, Zhuang Zhou also recorded it in his own writing.
[What is the fate of the sky? What is the location of the earth? What are the sun and the moon fighting for? Who advocates what? What is the principle? What is the principle of living without anything? What is the purpose of it? It is organic and has no choice but to have it? What is the intention of its movement but cannot stop evil? The cloud is rain? The rain is cloud? Which is the long-term application?]
[I won't be out for three months, see you again]
[Laozi said - Yes, Qiu got it]!
These words were recorded by Zhuang Zhou in his own inheritance. As for the name of this article, Zhuang Zhou, who was already old at that time, was content with the supreme freedom, but was lazy and did not seek immortality. He was silent for a long time, with nostalgia for the past. For the nostalgia of the past, he did not shed tears, but just laughed and sang, and wrote down the name--
[Zhuangzi·Tianyun]!
He put down his pen and vaguely remembered the words old man said with lowered eyes and a smile.
"Qiu, I got it!"
And Zhuang Zhou was not the only one who was shocked by the joy, expectation, calmness, and open-mindedness of letting go in these four words. On that day, on the mountain opposite Book Keeper, a man in a green shirt lowered his eyes and looked down at all this. He was holding a wine bottle, watching old man stand up with a gentle smile, watching Qiu bowing his hands, old man patted his shoulder.
Then old man came out.
Two people, light and dark are intertwined, as if time is colliding.
At that moment, old man walked across the hill.
old man's white hair is hanging down and her eyes are gentle.
The Hundred Schools of Thought all specialize in one section, while Daoism covers them all!
The program of hundreds of schools, the foundation of all things Dao Ancestor.
Daoist!
Qiu bowed his hands and bowed, meticulously and solemnly.
There has never been a Master since the beginning of mankind!
Respect the teacher of all generations and set a precedent.
Confucianism!
At this moment, the years have merged.
Zhuang Zhou is standing by, and the surge in my heart is magnificent!
Green-robed Scholar held the wine pot and looked ahead. He saw that Imperial Pure Tree had already grown to its limit. It sprouted in seventeen years, branched in seventeen years, and followed the Hundred Schools of Thought and Qiu's three thousand disciples in another seventeen years to multiply the world!
When we use counties and counties as branches and the Hundred Schools of Thought as branches, the wind blows at the top of Mount Tai, covering the vastness of the world!
From now on, one hundred and eight thousand years will be spring, and one hundred and eight thousand years will be autumn!
There are 66,360,000 branches, each one has a future possibility!
There are ninety-nine, eighty-one and ten thousand leaves, and every leaf is like a dragon or a phoenix among the people!
The world is under my green shade!
At the moment when the fates of one Confucian and another Confucian were intertwined, Fuxi had the illusion that he was witnessing a legend. He was stunned. In front of Nine Stone Tablets, countless people were chanting something and gathered together, as if luck was rising from the sky.
The voices gathered together, as if the wind blew over from fifty years ago. At that time, young Daoist crossed his legs, lowered his eyes gently, asked Fuxi with a smile, and said:
"There are great changes in heaven and earth, and there is no difference between the past and the present in the world."
"The poor Daoist Qi WuHuo took this control of Qi as his son. When he fell into the world of mortals, he gave this world a lifetime of Spring and Autumn Cauldron prosperity."
"Fellow Daoist, how are you?"
Fellow Daoist, how is it?!
Now the foundation of the prosperity of the world, Spring and Autumn Cauldron is prosperous, Imperial Pure Tree, the shaking is extremely huge, and the sound is like a wave.
Fuxi stood there and saw the solemnity, solemnity and vastness that he saw, and he was so stunned that he couldn't speak.
After a long time, he replied, "Fellow Daoist."
This voice starts with a high pitch and ends up in a sigh, "The best!"
The wine bottle also fell to the ground without realizing it.
After a long time, Fuxi suddenly realized--
Qiu De said.
This also represents the reason why the Daoist is sitting here, waiting here, and the reason and reason why he is unwilling to climb the Heavenly Tower.
Finished?!!
Green-robed Scholar's pupils suddenly contracted!
