Asking Immortals: From the Republic of China to Marvel

Ming Jin: When practicing, the rules must not be easy. The movement of the body must be gentle but not surly. The rise and fall of the hands and feet must be neat and not scattered. The Boxing Sutra says: "The square one should correct it." This is what it means.

As the name suggests, when punched out, it is fierce and violent, constantly removing the rot and retaining the essence. The clumsy strength is cut away, and the strong and crisp strength is produced, which is Ming Jin.To put it bluntly, he is still fierce and violent.Just past the easy break is Ming Jin.

Dark energy: The spirit of practice should be stretched but not restrained, and the use should be flexible and lively but not stagnant.The Boxing Sutra says: "The round one corresponds to the outside." This is what it means.

The power of dark energy is as its name suggests, turning from light to dark. It is like hitting a cow across a mountain. Take the ultimate in softness and punch it. If there is no abnormality on the opponent's body and the six internal organs in the body are afraid, it is considered successful.

Hua Jin: Practice the movement of the whole body and limbs. Do not focus on rising, falling, advancing or retreating. Use it exclusively with divine will.Although it is an application of divine will, the formal rules are still the same as the previous two and cannot be changed.Although the whole body is moving without exerting any effort, it cannot be completely without exertion. It is always under the penetrating ear of divine will.The Boxing Sutra says: "Three turns and nine turns are one form." This is the meaning.

Ye Wen was also secretly modest that he had just entered Dark Jin. In fact, he was inexplicably proud of himself. Although his little cousin was born with supernatural powers, he was only in the realm of Ming Jin. The realm of martial arts was not developed over time and needed to be understood.

Even if a dull person practices martial arts to the age of forty, if he can't understand it, he just can't understand it. Inexplicably proud, Ye Wentian gave Ye Wen an unprecedented blow on the spot.

Really, sometimes you won’t know what despair is if you don’t work hard. When Ye Wen finished talking about the specific realm of An Jin.

"Cousin, do you see if this is the case?!"

Ye Wentian held the teacup in his hand, used all his strength, raised his arm downwards, and smashed it hard, hitting the stone table with the bottom of the porcelain cup.

There was a "click" sound, and a crack appeared in the middle of the table. Slowly, more and more cracks appeared, spreading like a spider web. Then there was a "cross gap", the stone table shattered, and the broken stones spread a layer on the ground. .

Ye Wen was secretly surprised, and then looked intently at Ye Wentian's hand holding the tea cup. Ye Wentian turned his hand and opened it, and an intact and exquisite small bowl and teacup stood in the palm of his hand.

Ye Wen was petrified on the spot. He stared at Ye Wentian dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and then closed it again, not knowing what to say. After taking a sip of tea, Ming felt that the tea was no longer fragrant, and sighed secretly. After staying for a while, he spoke:

"If you and I were the same age and were apprenticed to Master Chen Huashun, I would never dare to say anything about pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts now~"

He stood up, turned around, and walked away with a somewhat depressed pace. Ye Wentian was left sitting in his original position, scratching his head and looking puzzled.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that my own understanding is good. The Dao Jing originally expounds the concept of Tao. If I understand the principles of heaven and earth, I will naturally master the world and myself.

In fact, it's not a big deal in the first place. After practicing the Tao Sutra Volume 1 for more than a year, my mastery of myself is definitely beyond ordinary people.

Every part of the power is grasped to the smallest detail, but I just don't know how the dark power works. It's normal to suddenly wake up after hearing Ip Man's explanation. Just two words can describe it: "understood in seconds".

Hahahaha, I feel happy and smile silently.

But in the future, transforming energy will definitely not be so easy. After all, transforming energy is just a state, and there is no clear way to practice it. Forget it, you will reach that point sooner or later anyway.

I am a Taoist myself, and things that are surprising to ordinary people are considered normal to me. People who seek immortality and enlightenment are always compared to ordinary people, and they are transcendent.

A week later, at the gate of Ye Mansion, a group of people watched Ye Wen leave.

Ye Wentian thought for a moment. Ye Wen was a gentle and honest person, knowledgeable and reasonable. The two of them got along very well, and they were cousins.

In this case, twenty years later, when Foshan is in disaster, I will come and visit to ensure that your family goes west~ No, Ip Man is not Tang Sanzang, eh~ I will ensure that your family is safe.

Understand the cause and effect, and understand one's own body. (It’s important to mention that Buddhism talks about cause and effect, while Taoism talks about responsibility, and responsibility includes cause and effect.

The Buddhists believe in the afterlife, so they have a life of suffering. In order to attract believers, they use cause and effect to intimidate believers to achieve their own goals.

In fact, no matter which religion you believe in, it is naturally correct; if you do not believe in any religion, you will go to hell; if you are a vegetarian, you are a naturally good person; if you eat meat, you are a natural bad person.

Don't think too much about the matter. No matter what sect it is, there is always something in the teachings that people can agree with, so that it can last forever. Faith only gives you a sustenance in your heart, rather than asking you to become superstitious.

The reason why Taoism emphasizes this life is to enable you to be truly kind to yourself, truly face life positively, and spend this life optimistically. You cannot think of yourself as a slave of God or a lamb of God. You are first of all independent and free, and truly wise. of you.

Therefore, Taoism governs by doing nothing, seeking immortality and peace of mind. Ancient astronomy comes from Taoism. The revision of calendars from ancient times to the present has the shadow of Taoism. If the ancients did not know the solar terms, how many people would starve to death, because the method of alchemy is an ancient science. and made great contributions to medicine.

The foreign moths did not engage in farming and seized believers. Only later did our own Zen Buddhism emerge from them.

Although it was born out of Buddhism, green is better than blue.

Asan Buddhism uses strict precepts and rules to restrain people's spirit and body. It directly breaks people's knees, kneels down in front of the Buddha statue, and fully converts to Buddhism from spirit to body, and no longer has independent thoughts of its own.

In Zen Buddhism, one does not read or recite sutras, one just follows one's heart and does not abide by any precepts, only seeking enlightenment and becoming a Buddha.In terms of thought, it has its extremely glorious highlights.

In fact, some people want to ask why those monks who often go to Buddhist temples still abide by the rules and precepts are because Buddhism came to China and we couldn't live anymore due to the harsh thoughts of precepts, so it merged with Chinese culture and formed various branches and sects, not only Zen Buddhism , as well as Vinaya, Pure Land, Tantra, etc., each with different rules.

Responsibility is a bit profound, but we will talk about cause and effect later. )

A few days later, Ye Wentian got permission from his parents and took Cai'er out of Ye Mansion. Before leaving, Li Xiuli gave Cai'er a money bag with dozens of silver dollars in it. She carefully told Cai'er that if the young master likes anything along the way, don't be afraid to spend money and buy it back.

Seeing this, Ye Wentian felt warm in his heart. In fact, since he entered Taoism, his daily behavior has become closer and closer to that of an adult. His parents do not regard him as a child. They only think that their children must be as smart as possible.

He was able to protect him a little when he was a child, but he no longer had to rely on himself as an adult. Ye Qin and his wife also looked forward to Ye Wentian quite a lot.

Walking on the streets of Changping County, there are ten-meter-wide streets paved with smoky blue stone bricks and antique shops on both sides. As far as the eye can see, there is hardly a building with a height of more than three stories. The sound of hawking can be heard from left and right, making it very lively.

"Cai'er, is there a place that sells antiques in the county?"

"Master, there is a flea market in the west city that specializes in buying and selling old things. There are also several pawn shops not far away that deal in antiques and the like. I wonder where the master wants to go."

Originally, I came out this time just because I had never been out after being here for so long, and I was a little curious about the outside world. Halfway through, I suddenly thought, why don't I learn to travel through the crowd to pick up missing treasures, and maybe I will gain some unknown things. Even if you get nothing, it doesn't matter, just appreciate today's humanistic customs.

"Let's go to the flea market and lead the way."

"Okay, sir."

After finishing speaking, Cai'er quickly passed Ye Wentian and walked in front, leading him in one direction.

How can you go to a place like an antique store to pick up leaks? The prices are expensive and pitiful. Thinking about it, he quickly followed up. Along the way, a cute girl who was about eight or nine years old led a little shota who was half a head shorter and walked leisurely.

Most of the people passing by looked at the two people curiously, and admired in their hearts what a golden boy and girl. It would be great if these were my children, but they were also a little worried about why there were no adults accompanying them.

Not long after, the two came to the flea market and walked into the alley, with no end in sight. Compared with the main road outside the county town, there are a lot less cries here, but there are quite a lot of people. There are stalls on the left and right, with two or three meters left in the middle for people to pass.

Although there was some jeering around, it was not noisy and few people shouted.Ye Wentian found it quite interesting and walked forward slowly, looking around randomly.

He stopped and picked up a small bronze tripod, looked at it carefully for a few times, then put it down and walked to the next curious stall. Only a voice came from behind:

"Hey, young sir, this is the Guoqu Ding handed down by Qin Shihuang. It only costs two silver coins. Alas, don't leave. The price is negotiable..."

"..."

Ye Wentian curled his lips slightly and continued to look around, ignoring the shouts from behind. I am young, but I am not stupid. Let’s not talk about whether I can buy Qin bronzes with two silver coins (the purchasing power of two silver coins is equivalent to two thousand yuan in later generations. Two thousand yuan can buy real Qin bronzes. All I can say is hehe).
