Taoism also has similar effects, which is really amazing. Wu Yugang thought to himself: Could this Taoism also be applicable to all things? If you cultivate a magic, then it is not a bad thing to be able to understand all things. However, to be able to understand all things, you need to understand many things in the world to be able to use them freely and skillfully! If you don't have the ability to adapt and the mind to adapt to changes, even if you learn the supreme Taoism, it will be in vain. There is a big difference between learning to apply and learning but not being able to use.
Growing up in the south, where there is not much food produced, the only land has to be used carefully. It seems that people's genes have a great influence on inheritance. Wuyazi has indeed inherited the most astute side of this place. He can even improve the Taoist methods and cultivation techniques taught by his master by combining what he has seen and heard. It seems that the master of Chunyang Sect also spends a lot of effort in selecting apprentices.
"This art of circular light is a Taoist method of utilizing the light of the divine realm. This is exactly what is connected to the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils that Master has received." Wuyazi explained to his junior fellow apprentice, "The liver opens up to the eyes, and the essence is stored in the liver. When the essence is sufficient, the eyes will glow with bright divine light. If you wipe them diligently, the divine light will shine naturally, and you can communicate with the gods. This circular light utilizes this divine light, and then guides and utilizes it to show what you want to know."
Wu Yugang was suddenly surprised. It was incredible that his senior brother could understand and use the Fire Eye Light to such a high level. It turned out that many Taoist methods could be used in that way. Wu Yugang was suddenly enlightened. He was a rare talent who could apply what he learned flexibly. It was really exciting that those seemingly simple Taoist methods had so many magical uses.
"Brother! You are so smart. It is not difficult to have the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. Physical activity is exercise. Moving the eyes is also exercise. It is so profound. I have benefited a lot from it." Wu Yuguang praised his brother from time to time.
"It is not easy to practice Taoism and achieve a golden body, and those spells certainly have their sublime aspects. If you don't think hard and don't know much, how can you improve and progress? The magical methods of the immortals are the best of the best, and their meanings are clear. But things in reality are very complicated. The Taoism we practice is already the essence. If we don't hone it in the mortal world, how can we get its spirit?" Wuyazi told his junior brother his feelings and understanding calmly.
"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles will enrich the knowledge you have learned, rather than just a few isolated tips. Don't you think this is the truth? Practicing Taoism cannot just be about hard work. You should understand the true meaning of inaction. Inaction means everything. That is the original meaning of Taoism. Besides, Master Lu Zu is still teaching and saving people in the world. How can we see his inaction?"
Wu Yugang kept nodding his head and said to his senior brother: "I am still young, and I have only learned a little more knowledge. As for the things in the world, I know very little. After listening to what my senior brother said, I feel that what I have learned is very thin and lacks flesh and blood. If I don't have more knowledge, how can I improve my cultivation!"
Wuyazi laughed loudly after hearing what his junior brother said, "You are not being modest, are you? You have come a long way to come here and have gained a lot of abilities. There are not many young people like you who are so humble and eager to learn. I am a few years older than you, but I can also give you some knowledge that you don't know. As your senior brother, I have not failed the master's trust, and I am relieved! You have lived in the north for a long time and have been deeply influenced by the Confucianism of the Mean. After coming here, you have made rapid progress."
"Ah! It turns out that there are many mysteries in this practice. If I hadn't met my senior brother, how could I have gained so much knowledge! I only heard that this place is full of sorcery, but there are so many things to learn. The distinction between good and bad is not made by Taoism, but by the morality of the practitioners! I have understood a lot of the true meaning. It is not in vain to come here." Wu Yugang sighed deeply. This senior brother, whom he had never met, could also give him huge gains. This kind of relationship is not something that a master and apprentice can give, and it can only be like this through communication between brothers.
I never thought that there are many unknown secrets and Taoist techniques hidden in these rolling mountains. These are incomparable to the north. Although the north and the south are separated by only the Yangtze River, the cultural differences are so great. If it is in life, the differences are even more obvious. In the same world, the differences are so great that people can't help but be amazed. Everyone has his own strengths. If you combine the strengths of each family, how can you not make progress! And those pitiful concepts actually make people exclude good things, how can you make progress!
"Listening to what you said, I was quite moved. Although the north has many advantages, its thinking is not very open after all. Relatively speaking, there is a big difference." Wu Yugang felt ashamed. "People here are good at striving for progress, while people in the north only want to seek comfort. It is always difficult for them to accept those new things. Therefore, they lag behind a lot."
"There are differences everywhere. As far as martial arts and cultivation are concerned, the northern martial arts seek novelty in mediocrity, which is also in line with the original intention of Taoism's inaction. And how can we make greater progress in mediocrity? Only through constant struggle can we show our strengths and weaknesses and make changes. It is difficult to seek development through movement in the north. After all, there are regional differences." Wuyazi has a broad mind and a deep understanding of the world, which is not the knowledge of Wu Yuguang, a child from a commoner family.
Although Wu Yugang was broad-minded, he was born in a commoner's family. Although he was the Dragon Prince in his previous life, he had been imprisoned for a long time and it was difficult for him to understand the situation in the secular world. Moreover, he was more than ten years older than Wuyazi. As a descendant of the royal family, Wuyazi was not an ordinary person. With such a background, it was natural for him to be well-informed. Moreover, the people he met were all famous people with a lot of culture. In that era when common people were illiterate, they certainly had a deep understanding of the world.
In that era, people with reputation were mostly rich or noble, and only those from rich and noble families could get a good education, which was out of reach for common people. Most people with reputation were officials, and culture could rule and manage people. They held the key to people. Without noble talents and virtues, how could one become a person of reputation? These insights allowed Wuyazi to receive an education that was difficult for common people to obtain. What's more, he was extremely smart!
Before they knew it, the eastern sky had turned pale. It was almost dawn, and the two of them had a long conversation in the quiet mountains all night. Wuyazi learned humility from this junior brother, which no one else had, and he had a deeper understanding of his martial arts and the culture of the north. Invisibly, he understood and loved this junior brother even more.
Wu Yugang's feelings were hard to describe. He felt that he had grown a lot under the guidance of his senior. An invisible force filled his whole body. This was the magical power produced by the combination of northern and southern cultures. These made Wu Yugang more fulfilled and more powerful.
The fiery red sun appeared in the eastern sky, and the crowing of roosters came from the mountains. The sky was bright, and looking around, in the thin morning mist, the shape of a house appeared in the distant mountains. (To be continued)
