"I want to read the Dao Canon, all the Dao Canon in the Taoist Hall!" Fang Zhengzheng said what he was thinking.
Over the past month, he recited it diligently every day, but he also discovered a pattern. The more he read the same content, the fewer and fewer insights he gained. Therefore, he felt that he had to develop a new "battlefield."
Let your dad go out and buy books every day? Not to mention the lack of money, the journey alone was quite hard, and the most important books he bought were simply not enough for him to read.
"Yes, but you must be able to answer my questions!" Wang Anhua nodded without saying much.
Fang Zhengzheng slowly sat up again, his eyes calm, but his heart was extremely excited. Hard work paid off. After waiting for a month, the fish finally took the bait!
I often heard that every scholar has a heart that cherishes talents. Fang Zhengzheng thought that there was nothing to lose anyway, so he went to the door of the Taoist hall every day to try his luck. First, he could let others know that he was eavesdropping outside the Taoist hall. In this way, I also have a reasonable explanation for my future literacy. Secondly, if I am lucky enough to attract the attention of a gentleman, there will be many benefits...
In one sentence, Fang Zhengzheng only needs the other party to ask him one sentence, and he has absolute confidence that the other party will definitely ask him the second sentence!
He had fantasized about the scene when he met Mr. Daotang countless times. Fang Zhengzheng also thought about pretending to be a good baby and answering whatever the other person asked.
But after thinking about it, he felt that the biggest benefit of doing this was to get an opportunity to enter the Taoist hall to study, and he might not even get it.
Even if you get the chance, would you really study the Three Character Classic with those who are just starting out
Not only wasting time, but also lowering his IQ, all he wanted was the "Tao Canon" and the right to read through the "Tao Canon"!
Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi adopted a more direct approach.
Exciting general method!
"Excuse me, sir." Fang Zhengzheng's tone became obviously much better this time.
Wang Anping smiled, seemingly satisfied with Fang Zhengyi's sudden change of attitude.
"The best is like water, how do you explain it?" Wang Anhua asked casually.
When Fang Zhengzheng heard this, he frowned slightly. He felt that under normal circumstances Wang Anhua should ask about some child-level knowledge, such as memorizing the "Three Character Classic" or writing a few words from "Hundred Family Surnames" Character.
Unexpectedly, Wang Anhua directly took out the Tao Te Ching from his previous life to ask questions.
It's really weird.
When he slept outside the Taoist hall every day, he could probably hear the content of the lectures in the Taoist hall. Up to now, he only talked about the "Thousand-Character Classic".
You actually asked me this? Fang Zhengzheng was a little confused.
Give up? Keep pretending to be low-key? Fang Zhengzheng vaguely felt that this was a more appropriate approach, but he was a little unwilling to do so. After all, he had worked hard for more than a month to get this opportunity. If he really gave up, his cultivation progress would be greatly affected. It will be severely delayed.
"Haha... can't you answer it?" Wang Anhua smiled softly, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute!" Fang Zhengzheng called to Wang Anhua.
"Have you thought of it?" Wang Anhua turned back and looked at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengzheng felt a little entangled in his heart, but he really longed to have the right to read books.
"The best good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting. It is disliked by everyone, so it is less than the Tao." Fang Zhengzheng finally gritted his teeth and said the answer.
Wang Anhua asked about "The best is like water," and the phrase "the best is like water" comes from Chapter 8 "Being in the World" of the Tao Te Ching. There are two paragraphs in this chapter. Fang Zhengzheng remembers the first one, but he doesn't remember the latter one clearly. , so it is omitted directly.
Hearing Fang Zhengyi's words, Wang Anhua's eyes narrowed sharply, with extremely shocked light shining in his eyes. He only asked what the explanation of "The Supreme Good Like Water" was, but he did not expect that Fang Zhengyi actually mentioned the origin of "The Supreme Good Like Water". out.
Then, there will naturally be no problem with the solution that the best is as good as water.
Sure enough, Fang Zhengzheng spoke again after telling the source.
"The essence of the highest good is like water. Water nourishes all things but does not compete with all things for benefit. It lives in a place that everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao."
"Good! Good explanation! I didn't expect that there is such a self-taught scholar in Nanshan Village? Haha... From now on, if you want to borrow a book, you can call me from the back door of the Taoist Hall!" Drawn by Wang An His expression was complicated, but he didn't ask any more questions because he already got the answer he wanted.
"Can I ask you a question?" Fang Zhengzheng stopped Wang Anhua again.
"Okay, ask!" Wang Anhua stopped.
"How to enter Taoism?"
"Enter the Tao?! Haha... Do you think I have ever entered the Tao?" Wang Anhua was slightly surprised. A six-year-old child asked him how to enter the Tao, which surprised him.
"Since you are teaching in the Taoist hall, you have never entered Taoism." Fang Zhengzheng almost didn't think.
"You are smart. Yes, I have never entered the Tao. It is really difficult to become a Taoist! However, since you asked me, I will say one thing, the way of all things is to put people first! This is also what my husband once said. Taught me!" After Wang Anhua finished speaking, he went straight into the Taoist hall.
"The way of all things is to put people first?!" Fang Zhengzheng fell into deep thought after hearing Wang Anhua's words...
…
At nightfall, a bird covered in snow and with sharp claws as tough as knives burst out of the Taoist hall, instantly flew into the night sky, spread its wings and disappeared without a trace...
One day later, the bird landed in an extremely huge mansion. At the door of the mansion, a plaque made of pure gold hung high on it, with three bright red characters on it, "Shenhou Mansion".
Then, a sealed volume of creed was delivered to a study room by a sergeant. Chi Guyan, a runaway lolita wearing a sky-blue uniform, looked at the creed in front of her, with a faint sparkle in her star-like eyes. A proud smile appeared on his cherry-like mouth.
"Fang Zhengzheng?! Haha... I waited for him for a month and finally took the bait!"
…
…
The way of all things is to put people first? !
Fang Zhengzheng has been lying in bed these days, with only this sentence in his mind. From a literal point of view, it is not difficult to understand this sentence.
The difficulty lies in how to relate the meaning of this sentence to entering the Tao.
Last time, General Li from the Shenhou Mansion said that in order to master the way of all things, one must first understand all things. And Wang Anhua from Daotang also said that the way of all things is people-oriented? !
It seems that what these two people said is somewhat contradictory...
Is it from General Li? Or do you believe it was painted by Wang An? Or are these two people right
Fang Zhengzheng was a little confused in his heart. Over this period of time, through continuous efforts, his cultivation has also made great progress. The leaf he saw in his dream has changed from one to five, and the water drop has also changed from one to five. drop.
At the same time, my sense of control over my body is becoming more and more refined.
The flow of blood and the contraction of meridians have been perfectly controlled for a long time. He can even feel some unknown things in his body now.
If he had to give this thing a name, he thought it would be more appropriate to call it muscle.
Able to control muscles? This was something that was unimaginable to Fang Zhengzheng before, but now, he feels this way very strongly.
It's just that he can't fully control it yet, he can only control part of it. For example, the muscles at the front of the fingers can become elastic or slightly hard, and the skin on the surface of the arm can also be controlled to change...
He didn't know what the use of controlling his muscles was, but it still felt pretty good.
Wait a moment…
control? Control yourself? The way of all things is to put people first!
For a moment, Fang Zhengzheng felt that the problem that had been bothering him seemed to be solved. Could this sentence mean... If you want to control everything, you must first be able to control yourself
Understood! Understood!
All things come from the heart, and all things are people-oriented!
Now that buds have grown in his heart, those water droplets should be the source of his control over his body, as long as he can control his body perfectly.
So…
Everything will fall into place!
Excited and excited, all the troubled problems seemed to be completely solved at this moment. Fang Zhengzheng couldn't help but want to try again. He stood up from the bed, opened the window and jumped into the small courtyard again.
When Fang Zhengzheng looked at the fist-sized bluestone in front of him again, he still felt a little sad.
After all, the last attempt paid a heavy price.
“If you want to succeed, you must make sacrifices!”
Fang Zhengzheng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, slowly adjusted his body, and controlled the muscles to converge towards the palm of his right hand...
Gradually, he had a feeling that the muscle density of his palms was increasing...
Be stronger, be stronger!
"It's coming...this is how it feels! Don't stop!"
Fang Zhengzheng gave a loud shout and instantly struck the bluestone with the palm of his right hand.
“…”
After a brief silence, Fang Zhengzheng's little face became a little distorted again.
"It hurts!"
Fang Zhengzheng jumped up on the ground very "happily", and then jumped back into his room through the window...
"Crack!"
A slight sound sounded after Fang Zhengzheng left, and a finger-long hole instantly opened on the bluestone in the courtyard...
