This old woman has white beard and hair, her silver hair is messy and tied up casually with strips of linen cloth, and her snow-white eyebrows almost hang down to her abdomen.
She was wearing a thick, shabby cotton cloth that was originally supposed to be colored, but it had turned white after washing and looked very strange, just like the wax figures in the Bactrian Museum five hundred years ago.
A feeling of twilight came to my face.
"The distinguished guest is here."
There was a smile in her mother-in-law's voice.
He was leaning on a white natural wood crutch without any carvings and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, early this morning, I heard the chirping bird at the door."
"Hello, village chief, grandma."
Li Xiaofei saluted.
"Young man, you are as rich as jade." My mother-in-law praised with a smile.
"Mother-in-law, are your eyes dazzled?" Ji Man covered her mouth with a smile. How could such a fat man be worthy of the term 'Feng Shen Ru Jade'?
My mother-in-law didn't explain either.
He just pulled Li Xiaofei and said that his family was short-lived, and even took him to visit various places in the tribal village, as if he was entertaining guests from afar.
He also introduced Li Xiaofei to everyone in the village, saying he was a distinguished guest of the village.
Soon, most people in the village knew about Li Xiaofei's arrival and existence, and responded in kind.
Simple folk.
This is Li Xiaofei’s truest feeling.
It is really like what is described in "Peach Blossom Spring": "The land is flat and vast, the houses are neat, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo trees. There is traffic on the streets, and chickens and dogs hear each other. There is planting and work, and the clothes of men and women are all as follows.
Outsiders, their yellow hair hangs down, and they are content with themselves."
Everything here is original.
Li Xiaofei was a little curious.
Since Nangong Longjian has been secretly collecting various resources, why are there not all kinds of convenient means of transportation, electrical appliances and other daily necessities.
Or if there were other modern facilities, the living conditions here would not be so primitive.
After all, these inconsequential, non-strategic materials are very simple for Nangong Longjian. They are a piece of cake.
Return to the reception hall.
The village chief's mother-in-law smiled and said, "We are here.
The time here is very early, thousands of years ago, so I still prefer the old way of life. The colorful tools and supplies in Chongque City are very magical, but they will change our lives, so I have never let Nangong."
Li Xiaofei nodded thoughtfully.
The village chief's mother-in-law answered a question deep in his heart.
But the question is, did she guess that she had doubts, or was she...mind-reading?
I always feel that this old woman who looks like she can be knocked down by a gust of wind is actually very extraordinary.
I heard the village chief's mother-in-law say again, "Of course, there is another reason. The main practice we practice here is called 'Natural Kung Fu'. The core purpose is the harmony between man and nature, and the practice is natural. Therefore, we need to maintain the original living condition to
To understand nature and improve cultivation, too many supplies from modern society entering Taoyuan will destroy nature, destroy the cultivation environment, and give rise to all kinds of unnecessary desires in the hearts of villagers."
Li Xiaofei nodded repeatedly.
I see.
The village chief's mother-in-law's frankness surprised him a little.
What surprised him even more was that after the village chief's mother-in-law finished speaking, she took out a piece of green animal skin and handed it over, saying, "Brother Chen, you can observe and learn. This is the 'natural skill' practiced by everyone in Taoyuan.
"
Li Xiaofei hesitated slightly and took the green animal skin.
Ah Qing next to him didn't say anything, and his expression was calm.
But Ji Man was a little surprised.
A pair of clear black and white, watery, large, round peach blossom eyes, blinking and blinking, looking at Li Xiaofei carefully, as if they were discovering something and wanted to see through him completely.
Li Xiaofei lowered his head to look at the green animal skin.
At the top is the outline of the general chapter of ‘Natural Kung Fu’.
"There is something mixed, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely and lonely, independent and does not change, and moves around without dying. It can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name. The strong character is called Dao, and the strong character is called Da. Da is called Da.
Pass away, passing away means far, far away means reverse. Therefore, the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are also big. There are four majors in the domain, and humans live in one of them. Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the
nature
.”
After reading this paragraph, Li Xiaofei opened his mouth.
Isn’t this the content of Chapter 25 of the Tao Te Ching?
Is it the general outline of ‘natural power’?
Could this exercise be derived from the Tao Te Ching?
When Li Xiaofei was in college, when he read many novels, he often saw settings that used the "Tao Te Ching" as a super skill. Later, when he studied traditional martial arts and ancient martial arts with 108 masters, he also saw some settings.
The profound meaning of the exercises is consistent with the Tao Te Ching.
He himself also studied the Tao Te Ching.
I also know that countless top philosophers in the world, such as Hegel and others, highly praise this article.
There is even such a saying in Daxia——
"There are five thousand words to speak of morality.
Little did you know that every word is a layer of heaven.
Ordinary people can understand one thing,
In an instant, the body becomes a golden immortal."
But at that time, Li Xiaofei's knowledge of martial arts was only superficial, and his understanding of martial arts was not deep, so he was unable to appreciate the great principles contained in these five thousand words.
At this time, I looked again, and I felt that after reading the content of Chapter 25 of the "Tao Te Ching", my mind suddenly became blank, and I felt as if something was suddenly imprinted into my soul, and it seemed that my mind was wandering outside.
Nothing is understood and understood.
The village chief's mother-in-law looked at Li Xiaofei in a daze holding the blue animal skin in his hands, with a faint smile appearing in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Hehe, you're stupid." Ji Man covered his mouth and smiled, with some slight contempt in his words.
I remember that when she first looked at this green animal skin, she fell into trance instantly, and it also caused a vision of lightning and thunder. She was called the best genius in Taoyuan in history, and made countless elders and villagers admire it.
The shock.
This so-called 'distinguished guest' from Chongque City actually looked at him with a blank expression. This shows that those people in the outside world may not be that strong or powerful, and they are not as good as himself.
There was only one person in the entire Taoyuan. When looking at this green animal skin, he was dumbfounded and had no reaction. He tried countless times and couldn't understand it.
It’s Sister Aqing.
But although Sister Aqing is not a cultivator,
He is good at "Natural Skills", but his swordsmanship is very powerful. He has an inexplicable power and refinement, so he is also very strong.
Li Xiaofei finished reading the general outline and continued reading.
The subsequent content is no longer the text of the "Tao Te Ching", but some explanations and comments on breathing, walking, sitting, standing, movement, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, viewing and meditating, and other insights in daily life.
Its content is more like annotating Chapter 25 of the Tao Te Ching.
It is divided into several layers.
The first level is "man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature."
Its method of cultivation is more like starting from the content of Chapter 25 of the Tao Te Ching, and working backwards from the last paragraph until it reaches the sentence "When things are mixed, they are born in the heaven and the earth."
The content contained on the green animal skin actually coincides with many internal exercises that I have come across before.
In general, this "Natural Kung Fu" has its own mystery. It integrates the practice into every stage of daily life, including sitting, standing, walking, farming, eating, and sleeping. It emphasizes the primitive accumulation of "quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes".
Li Xiaofei had an intuition that if someone could stick to "Natural Kung Fu" from the beginning and maintain the state of "doing nothing but doing something", he might really be able to achieve the level of making a breakthrough by accumulating time and effort.
But for him, this skill should have greater reference value.
"Do not worry."
The village chief's mother-in-law said with a smile, "Brother Chen, please stay here first and watch carefully all night before talking."
That night.
Li Xiaofei lived in Taoyuan.
Under the moonlight, he lay on the bed and continued to look at the green animal skin.
Suddenly there were hidden footsteps outside the door.
Then the door was pushed open.
A beautiful image appeared, turned around, walked directly in, and got under the quilt of Li Xiaofei's bed.
"I had an emergency at home yesterday, so I was planning to finish the update, but ended up finishing it very late.
The key is that with the new backend, chapters of less than 1,000 words cannot be published, so I cannot ask for leave in the book.
I have to be busy today.
Dear readers, please forgive me, o"
