"Old Wu, Old Wu, Haoran is here!" As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xie Zhenhua shouted into the house at the top of his lungs.
Soon, an old woman about his age ran out of the house, still wearing an apron.
Just when Xia Haoran was hesitating, Xie Zhenhua's wife had already greeted him with a smile and said: "You must be Haoran. Since Lao Xie came back last time, he has been nagging me recently about meeting a year-end friend by the North Lake.
, I talked about it so much that my ears almost got calluses. Now it’s better, you are finally here, and my ears can finally be cleaned.”
"Hello, sister-in-law! I am Xia Haoran, and this is my girlfriend Li Mengyao next to me. Let's come to my sister-in-law's place to eat and drink together today." Xia Haoran also said with a smile.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" After hearing this, Li Mengyao also stepped forward and said hello obediently.
"Okay! What a pretty girl, come in and sit in the house." Xie Zhenhua's wife said, then reached out to take the fruit basket from Li Mengyao's hand, and said angrily: "You two are really, what else did you bring when you came to your eldest brother's house?
Gift, please don’t do this again next time!”
"Haha, okay! Listen to my sister-in-law." Xia Haoran said haha, and a group of people entered the house.
A few people sat down and learned through chatting that Xie Zhenhua's wife was named Wu Meirong, and she was also an old professor at Huaxia University. After everyone had a conversation, Wu Meirong got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
At this time, Li Mengyao also stood up and wanted to help.
Seeing the two people refusing to be polite, Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said: "Sister-in-law, let Yaoyao follow you to start a fight. We are all from rural families, and we usually cook and cook in the kitchen.
We can all make do with it.”
Hearing what Xia Haoran said, Wu Meirong didn't refuse anymore and took Li Mengyao's hand and walked towards the kitchen together.
Xia Haoran could naturally tell that this Wu Meirong should have practiced some housekeeping skills and had a strong body, but after all, like Xie Zhenhua, she was old.
"Haoran, since I listened to your instructions that day, I went to grab the medicinal materials and started taking them. In just a few days, I feel comfortable and energetic all over my body!" Xie Zhenhua said happily.
"Well, you have to keep taking this medicine for at least a month. At that time, I will adjust the new prescription for you according to your physical condition. By the way, brother Xie, let your sister-in-law take the same medicine as you do every day from now on."
After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "I have seen it, and my sister-in-law has also practiced some housekeeping skills. The prescription I prescribed for you is purely for health care, strengthening the body and cultivating the body. After taking it, it will
Your bodies will benefit greatly."
"Okay! No problem, there is no problem at all. I originally wanted to ask you about this." Xie Zhenhua waved his hand and said happily.
The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to cultivation.
"I have some time today, so I will simply talk to my elder brother in detail about spiritual practice." Xia Haoran took a sip of water, organized the language in his brain, and then said: "We usually talk about spiritual practice, but it is actually a very general term.
, is also a very broad concept. Brother Xie should have seen those ancient TV series, so he should know that we humans practice immortality; demons practice demon ways; ghosts practice ghost ways; and the essence of plants and trees can also practice Taoism."
When Xie Zhenhua heard this, his eyes widened immediately, looking as if he had seen a ghost in disbelief. He couldn't help but said: "Then... well, Haoran, are the monsters, ghosts, etc. you just mentioned, real?
?”
Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said: "Brother Xie, when we are talking about cultivation, you'd better remove the word 'science' from your mind completely, because we ourselves are existences that cannot be explained by science, and we are now
The topic we are talking about is beyond the scope of science. Therefore, we must not look at the problem through ordinary people's eyes."
"Oh, that's right! It seems like I'm over the top, haha..."
"All things have spirits! But let's leave aside things like demons, ghosts, and the essence of plants and trees. Today we will only talk about us humans."
After a pause, Xia Haoran continued: "When humans practice Taoism, there are usually many subdivisions. For example, for Taoists, they practice vitality; for Buddhism, they practice Buddhism; for warriors, they practice
Internal energy that comes from the outside into the inside. Of course, there may be other ways to say it, but the road leads to the same goal. Each school has its own sect, and each school has a different name. However, it cannot be separated from its sect, and its essence is the same.
, are all cultivating Taoism. Just like today’s schools not only offer mathematics, but also Chinese, English and many other courses. They are all cultural knowledge, but they are subdivided into several subjects."
"Oh, that's it." Xie Zhenhua nodded, understanding in his heart.
"But in the Age of Ending Dharma, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely thin, and our monastic inheritance has been almost ruined and extinct. Today's new and new humans have integrated and pieced together based on the little things left by their old ancestors, and finally formed the contemporary monastic system -
—Ancient warrior."
"Ancient warrior?"
Xie Zhenhua was also surprised when he heard this new term. Although there are still ancient warriors in China today, for an old-time educator like Xie Zhenhua, who has been imprisoned in campus all his life, he has never heard of it.
Said.
"Yes! In China, there are still some ancient martial arts families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years." Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said: "However, the circle of those people is another world, and we ordinary people are very
They are difficult to reach. Moreover, even if those people are walking around us, it is generally difficult for us to find or recognize them.”
"Haoran, is what you said true?" Xie Zhenhua asked in surprise.
Xia Haoran nodded affirmatively. In fact, he still had something to say. If he now revealed that he not only knew that there was an ancient martial arts family, but also that a certain ancient martial arts family had a great connection with him, then Xie Zhenhua would not be intimidated.
How strange!
"yes!"
Xia Haoran nodded and said: "In the ancient martial arts world, there is a complete system of cultivation. They divide cultivation into four realms of 'Huang, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven', and each realm is divided into elementary, middle, and
The last three small realms. Among them, the early Huang level is the lowest and the Heaven level is the highest. And Brother Xie's current cultivation level is probably between the early Xuan level and the middle Xuan level."
"ah?"
Xie Zhenhua was completely shocked this time!
He never expected that there would be such a clear system and realm division of ancient martial arts. And he had to cultivate hard all his life before he could reach the early stage of Xuan level.
Having said this, Xia Haoran shut his mouth and did not say anything further. He knew that he had brought enough news to Xie Zhenhua today, and he needed to take time to digest and absorb it.
