After leaving Junji Peak, Wang Liangyu galloped along the Si River on his snow-treading Wuzui.
Si River is in the northeast of Taishi Mountain, winding and winding, and will eventually merge into the Yellow River.
If you walk along the river bank without a guide, you will definitely not get lost.
A few days later, Wang Liangyu arrived at Hulao, where the Sishui River meets the Yellow River.
According to legend, King Mu of Zhou Dynasty captured tigers as livestock here, hence the name.
The terrain of Hulao is dangerous, with Songshan Mountain to the south and the Yellow River to the north. The mountains are intertwined, creating a natural danger. It has been a battleground for military strategists of all ages.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Hulao Pass where the three heroes fought against Lu Bu was located here.
With his body full of travel dust, Wang Liangyu rode into the tiger prison on Tuxue Wuzui.
I randomly found a restaurant, ordered a few signature dishes, and ordered a bottle of wine to enjoy.
Just after taking a few bites, Wang Liangyu suddenly noticed that there were many more customers in the restaurant. He raised his head and looked around, only to find that a square table was suddenly placed in the center of the restaurant, with other tables and chairs surrounding it, one after another.
Circle, the stars are like the moon.
Looking at the customers in the restaurant, they all stretched their necks and looked expectantly.
Wang Liangyu was surprised. When he was confused, a middle-aged man with a white face and a beard walked out of the back hall. He had a wooden waker in one hand and a folding fan in the other. He walked slowly to the square table and sat down.
Looking at this outfit, Wang Liangyu immediately recognized that this was a storyteller, and he was a direct descendant of the Spring and Autumn storytellers. The folding fan was a symbol.
Folding fans in history did not appear until the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Now they appear, naturally, thanks to the gift of Wang Liangyu.
It is not difficult to make a folding fan, and it is actually easy to imitate it, but not many people have the luxury to use silk to make the fan surface.
Yes, the fan of Storyteller’s folding fan is not made of paper, but silk.
Wang Liangyu doesn't dare to use papermaking technology for the time being, because the impact is too great.
The middle-aged storyteller shook his folding fan, coughed slightly, slapped the wood in his hand, and opened his mouth and said: "The book will be continued..."
While Wang Liangyu was eating and listening, he glanced at the audience around him from time to time, and felt greatly relieved to see their immersed faces.
However, as he watched, Wang Liangyu couldn't help but frown, and his eyes instantly turned sharp as he looked at the middle-aged storyteller.
The middle-aged storyteller seemed to realize something. He turned around and looked over. His expression suddenly changed, his voice got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help coughing violently.
"Hug..." The middle-aged storyteller looked horrified and quickly put away his folding fan and raised his hands to the audience around him, as if to apologize.
"Don't stop, keep going, what's going on next?!" Wang Liangyu shouted like a cheer.
The audience were wondering what happened to the storyteller. When they heard this, they all started shouting.
Seeing this, the middle-aged storyteller coughed dryly, drank tea to cover it up, and then continued talking, concentrating on it.
About half an hour later, as the wake tree fell with a "pop" sound, the middle-aged storyteller said loudly: "You can predict what will happen next, and listen to the explanation next time!"
After finishing speaking, regardless of the audience's efforts to persuade him to stay, the middle-aged storyteller put away his folding fan, turned and walked into the back hall, and then secretly glanced at Wang Liangyu.
Wang Liangyu walked through the crowd casually and followed him into the back hall without anyone noticing.
"My disciple Gongsun Shi has met the young master!" As soon as Wang Liangyu walked into the back hall, he saw the middle-aged storyteller bowing to him.
Under the leadership of Lu Qi, the Spring and Autumn Storytellers all respected Wang Liangyu and regarded themselves as their disciples.
Wang Liangyu was used to this, so he didn't worry about it. He just looked at Gongsun Shi in surprise and asked, "Do you know me?"
"Young Master opened the way for the storytellers of the Spring and Autumn Period, how could we not know you!"
Wang Liangyu waved her hands, said a few words of humility, then turned to straighten her face, looked stern, and asked in a solemn tone: "What happened to you just now? Don't you know that the mental energy of all living beings cannot be directly absorbed?"
When Gongsun Shi was telling stories just now, Wang Liangyu discovered that he was actually absorbing the mental power of all living beings in the restaurant. The mental power of all living beings contains the will of all living beings. If he absorbed it directly, he would be in trouble and become a demon. That's why Wang Liangyu had such a big reaction.
Gongsun Shi bowed and bowed, and explained with a hint of fear: "Disciple naturally knows that our Spring and Autumn Storytellers do not want to be controlled by others, and take it as their own duty to perfect the storyteller's practice." After a pause, he added, "Disciple once followed Master.
After learning the Confucian method of nourishing qi, I came up with the idea of using the method of nourishing qi to cultivate the mental strength of all living beings."
Confucian practitioners respect Confucius as their master.
Hearing this, Wang Liangyu couldn't bear it anymore and asked urgently: "Have you mastered it?"
"According to this method, I can directly absorb the mental energy of all living beings." Gongsun Shi nodded, secretly glanced at Wang Liangyu, and stopped talking.
"Don't worry, I know all the rules!" Wang Liangyu waved her hand, signaling Gongsun Shi not to be nervous.
The dispute between orthodoxy and sectarianism has a long history.
The cultivation methods of each sect are secrets that are not passed down, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to know.
Secret learning and secret transmission are all despised.
This is why Wang Liangyu clearly learned the secret techniques of Taoism and military strategism, but never thought of teaching them to storytellers such as Lu Qi.
When Gongsun Shi heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Liangyu pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you give me a general introduction?" After speaking, he was afraid that Gongsun Shi would misunderstand, so he added, "Just tell me the principles briefly, and there is no need to explain the specific methods of practice."
Gongsun Shi frowned and thought for a moment, sorted out his words, and began to speak.
Wang Liangyu listened carefully and quickly grasped the key.
The reason why the mental power of living beings cannot be directly absorbed is because it contains the will of living beings. If you absorb it directly, your own consciousness will be impacted by the will of living beings, which can range from going mad and becoming possessed to being possessed, to the worst, causing your consciousness to collapse and your body and soul to be destroyed.
The novelist uses the movement of heaven in the illusory world to wipe out the will of all living beings in the minds of all living beings and transform them into pure minds and hearts. Only in this way can they be absorbed and practiced.
The method developed by Gongsun Shi relies on the Confucian method of nourishing qi to cultivate the mental energy of all living beings, which is also a means of purification.
In Confucianism, nourishing qi is actually a method of nourishing the spirit. Nurturing qi nourishes the spirit, which is similar to that of military strategists who gather power and cast their souls.
In fact, the practice of hundreds of schools of thought is inseparable from the spirit of essence, which is the so-called "refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine with Tao".
However, military strategists transformed this process into three steps, from gathering energy to accumulating potential, and then from accumulating potential to casting soul, and slowly advanced.
On the other hand, Confucianism is all about getting it right in one step.
Nourishing Qi means nourishing the mind.
It’s not about which one is higher or lower, it’s just that the methods are different.
Let’s go back to the mental power of all living beings.
The will of all living beings contained in the minds of all living beings is extremely poisonous to most practitioners, but for Confucian practitioners, the will of all living beings is the best tempering and the best nutrition needed to nourish the spirit.
In other words, the mental strength of all living beings and the cultivation of Qi in Confucianism are bound to each other, and have a two-way bonus effect.
The will of all living beings helps Confucianism nourish Qi, and the mental strength of all living beings is absorbed by the storyteller.
A perfect match, kill two birds with one stone!
"Yes, very good!" Wang Liangyu stretched out his hand and patted Gongsun Shi on the shoulder, praising him repeatedly, and then couldn't help but make suggestions and encouraged, "Gongsun Shi, you can try to integrate Confucian nourishment into the storyteller's practice system, and create a storyteller
The method of nourishing one's Qi, then you will be the founder and pioneer of the Spring and Autumn Storytellers!"
Wang Liangyu did not intend to let Gongsun Shi contribute Confucian Qi nourishing, but instead encouraged him to use his creativity to create a storyteller's Qi nourishing method.
Hearing this, Gongsun Shi's eyes flashed unconsciously, his body trembled slightly, and he could not hide his excitement.
No one can refuse the temptation of leaving a mark in history!
"Come on, I believe you can do it!" Wang Liangyu left a message, turned around and walked out of the back hall.
Without making any further stops, Wang Liangyu walked straight out of the restaurant. His original intention of visiting Hulao was gone, so he rode on the Taxue Wuzui and headed straight for Hulao Pier.
Now Wang Liangyu can't wait to pay homage to Confucius and ask about Confucianism!
