Wu Yugang was a little annoyed when facing Kongtong's rather rude disciple. However, no matter how annoyed he was, he could resolve it, fight back, and convince him. The profundity of Taoism lies in competition, but now it seems that competition is no longer necessary. What is needed now is to convince these people. Only by convincing these people can they keep a place, otherwise it will be useless. And the magic skills are the best way to leave the deepest impression on people.
"The level of cultivation depends on comprehension, and the level of comprehension depends on understanding and communication." Wu Yugang said calmly, "And the most important thing about enlightenment is communication. If my Tai Chi sect could not communicate with other sects, there would be no Tai Chi sects. Chen, Yang, Sun, Wu, and Wu, all the Tai Chi sects came from the same sect. If they were kept as secret as you, they would not have developed Tai Chi to this extent."
Wu Yugang's words, like a knife, pierced the hearts of every Kongtong person. These are things that every wise person can recognize. Kongtong's pyramid-like practice method ultimately only allowed a small number of people to practice Tai Chi. On the contrary, Tai Chi School adopted the method of widely teaching boxing to allow more people to practice and inherit it. Although different schools have emerged, they all follow the path of Tai Chi. These are also the reasons why Tai Chi can achieve great development and progress.
Guang Chengzi couldn't help but ponder in secret, the huge difference in inheritance between these sects is bound to lead to decline. Taiji Sect is like a tree growing, spreading branches and leaves, and will only become more prosperous and dense. Although Kongtong Sect can also prevent those mysterious martial arts from being lost, it pales in comparison. And that kind of conservative inheritance seems much more shy in comparison with Taiji Sect.
The Xuankong Sect disciple heard Wu Yugang's ruthless pointing out of the gap, but his expression was so calm. This inevitably made people feel ashamed of the gap. Although so, the disciple saw Guangchengzi standing aside with a calm expression and no objection. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This immortal is indeed extraordinary. It is useless to just argue with him. Learning some skills is the right thing to do, otherwise it will be out of the meaning of the immortal master's teaching.
This disciple is actually Hu Feizi, a clever disciple who is listed in Xuankong Sect. He is famous for his cleverness and eloquence in Kongtong Sect, so he is listed in the highest position of the sect. He is also the only disciple who is deeply loved by Kongtong masters and disciples and has won the hearts of the people. Hu Feizi said: "The mystery of the skills does not depend on the number of disciples taught, but on the method. My Kongtong Tai Chi was taught by the ancient immortals, and I have the true meaning of Tai Chi. There is nothing in the world that can surpass this!"
Hu Feizi's way of defense is rare in the world. By saying this, the face of the Kongtong disciples seemed to have been restored by him.
Wu Yugang was not in a hurry when he heard this, and said calmly: "The mystery of a technique lies in whether it can be explained in simple terms and directly point to the essence. Although it looks simple, it is extremely profound. Did you know that?!" Wu Yugang's question had pushed the Kongtong disciple to the edge, and he had no choice but to speak.
Hu Feizi said: "Although the ancient eight-style Tai Chi is simple, it is also extraordinary. The eight-style means to move the eight directions, the truth of the eight trigrams, and move the heaven and earth. It is difficult to describe it in words!"
Hu Feizi was about to speak, but stopped. If he revealed the mystery, he would be guilty of revealing the secrets of his master. It was too late to shirk responsibility. Facing Wu Yugang, who said he was communicating, Hu Feizi was in a dilemma.
Wu Yugang laughed loudly upon hearing his words: "Tai Chi contains the principles of all things, and its meaning is hard to describe. Is this something that can be said? However, for cultivation, Tai Chi is the body and the five elements are the function. The way of cultivation is to gather the three flowers at the top of the head and the five qi return to the origin. And Tai Chi is also inseparable from this. Qi is the foundation of human beings. If the qi is not harmonious, you can't practice boxing!"
When Wu Yugang said this, the Kongtong disciples were very surprised. They secretly discussed that Tai Chi and self-cultivation were inseparable, but where was the mystery? Although some people had practiced it before, it was difficult to explain the mystery. This made people feel quite regretful.
Wu Yugang said: "The method of practicing Tai Chi lies in the use of the chaotic energy of heaven and earth, and the human body is Tai Chi. The five elements are the root of human beings. The metal energy belongs to the lungs, and its image is an axe, so it is practiced with splitting fists. The five elements of energy correspond to the five internal organs of the human heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the corresponding training methods are splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal. If the five elements are not lost, the five elements will not flow smoothly, and it will be difficult to practice!"
Although Wu Yugang was young, he was able to reveal the mysteries that many older practitioners in Kongtong Sect had never told anyone before, which shocked many of the people in charge of the Kongtong Sect. If these were explained, many disciples would develop rapidly, which would inevitably affect the status of many people, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
At this time, Guangchengzi and Lü Dongbin were sitting in the cave of Taoyuan Cave in Jiuxian Mountain, chatting. In the stone mirror on the stone table in front of them, Wu Yugang was preaching to the disciples of Kongtong. His majestic look made Lü Zu and Guangchengzi very satisfied.
Guang Chengzi half-jokingly said: "Master Lu, it seems that my Kongtong will belong to your disciple!"
Lü Dongbin smiled and said, "Master, why are you so impatient? Your Kongtong Mountain, my disciples can also exchange some Taoist teachings. Just like you and me, although we have become immortals, we still need to communicate! If we are like those disciples who have inherited the tradition in the world, many of them are conservative to the point of being stingy. What room for development is there for the sect!"
Guang Chengzi looked at Wu Yugang in the mirror and nodded, saying, "What Lu Zu said is very true. The foundation of cultivating immortals lies in great compassion. If those disciples are too conservative, they will lose the meaning of great compassion. After all, conservative people are mostly selfish. How can selfish people understand the meaning of broad compassion!"
Guangchengzi's words were meaningful. Lü Dongbin nodded and smiled, "So, the development and decline of Taoism also have their reasons. Now is the era of decline, but the true inheritance of Taoism is just the beginning! Because many high-level magic skills are mostly preserved in ancient temples in the mountains, and the world knows very little. Even the students who are devoted to practicing Taoism find it difficult to see the true appearance of the magic. These are also the regrets of Taoism!"
Guangchengzi looked at Lü Dongbin with a strange look on his face, because what Lü Zu said hit the nail on the head on something Guangchengzi had never mentioned. These were also the concerns of every ancestor who had attained the Tao and became an immortal. (To be continued)
