None of this is important. We are here to listen to the class, not to see the ugliness of these people.
After a while, a skinny old man came up. He got on the podium and sat on a futon. There was a table on the futon. There was a teapot, a teacup and a plate of snacks on the table. He poured himself some
I ordered a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "Everything in the world is not static, but can be transformed into each other."
He then grabbed a piece of snack and said, "If I eat this snack, tell me, how much meat can I grow and how much can I pull out?"
I became interested as soon as I heard it, thinking that this old man is interesting, and this question is also interesting!
The old man continued: "These snacks add up to two taels. If I eat these two taels of snacks, who can tell me how much meat I can grow?"
A student raised his hand, and the master pointed his finger and said: "You tell me!"
The student said with a smile: "Except for the shit, it's all meat!"
His answer triggered a burst of laughter, and the master was not angry. He asked him to sit down and said, "Who can tell me how much meat can be gained from two taels of cake?"
Not to mention, this question is really difficult to answer. One student raised his hand, then stood up and said: "It depends on each person, but I think even the best conversion rate will not exceed one or two!"
"
The master nodded, asked the student to sit down, and then said, "Can anyone say anything else?"
I slowly raised my hand, but no one could see me.
Xiao Dezi looked at me and said: "Don't speak much, we can just listen!"
At this time, I stood up from the corner and shouted: "Master, I think I can gain at least a pound of meat!"
When I shouted, all the students immediately turned to look at me and burst into laughter.
Some students shouted: "If only you were a pig, wouldn't you be rich? Two hundred kilograms of grain can feed a thousand kilograms of pigs. Why are you collecting manure? You can go home and raise pigs!"
The master looked at me, then nodded and said, "Xiao Dezi, is this your partner?"
Xiao Dezi raised his hand and said: "Master, this is my partner."
The master nodded and said: "Very good, come here, prepare two mats for Xiao Dezi and this person, and let them come to listen to the class."
In this way, we sat at the back and listened to the class.
The master looked at everyone at this time and said: "You have listened to the class for so long, and you are not as knowledgeable as a newcomer. What meat is, most of it is water, and a small part of it is other substances, but this is very disappointing.
It doesn’t have much water. If you eat it, it will be absorbed by the body, form a structure, and then fill it with water. If it is transformed well, it is possible to turn it into two pounds of meat.”
After the master finished speaking, he ate a sip of snacks and drank a sip of tea. Then he held the tea cup in one hand and the snacks in the other and asked: "You should all understand now, meat is composed of snacks and water. So, our
How is the world made up? This is a very serious question, and it will take us a lifetime to find the answer. But what we can know now is yin and yang. This is the most fundamental part. Any substance has yin and yang, and yin and yang can also be
Things that are mutually convertible, such as water, above the fourth degree of water are yang, and below the fourth degree of water are yin attributes, there is no transition between yin and yang, neither yin nor yang, there is nothing in the world that is neither yin nor yang, this is Tao!"
The teacher picked up the water and said: "Although we are creatures with a balance of yin and yang, and our attributes are both yin and yang, we cannot say that we are neither yin nor yang. Human attributes are still yang. For example, we
If you drink hot water, you won’t get sick. If you drink too much ice water, you will get a stomachache. The reason is very simple, isn’t it? What each of our bodies emits is yang energy, not yin energy. Water is flowing.
, the air is also flowing. For a long time in the past, people did not realize the existence of air. Even when people became aware of the existence of light, they did not realize the existence of air until long after they realized the existence of light. Even the air is divided into yin and yang. "
The master smiled and said: "The lower level is Yang and the upper level is Yin. We live in the Yang layer, but this does not mean that there is no Yin Qi in the Yang layer. There is no absolute. The theory of Yin and Yang cannot go to extremes. Qi and water
Everyone is most familiar with things, but do you really understand them? Let me tell you, Qi and water are not a mess, but have distinct levels. If you can understand the state of Qi and water,
Then you will definitely become a master, and your swordsmanship and your understanding of Tao will all be in a state of flowing clouds and flowing water. It is a free and easy state that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words."
As soon as I heard it, I knew that what the teacher said was exactly what I felt. It was such a wonderful feeling, and what he said was absolutely correct.
When the teacher said this, he continued to talk about the theory of yin and yang for a while, and I nodded frequently. When he finished the bottle of water, he stood up and said: "Okay, that's it for today. You guys understand yourself and each other."
Communicate and then go practice. No matter how much you talk, it’s useless if you don’t practice.”
The master just left. Xiao Dezi and I came out and saw that the students were all walking in the same direction. Xiao Dezi pulled me back and said, "That's a place for cultivation, not where we should go."
place!"
In this way, we returned to the place where we lived. We picked a lot of flowers along the way. When we came back, we decorated the house, and suddenly the whole house was filled with fragrance.
Xiao Dezi looked at me and said, "I've done all the work now, and I really don't know what to do anymore."
I fell on the bed with my eyes closed, thinking about Yin Yang, Five Elements, Tai Chi and Bagua, and ignored him.
Xiao Dezi looked at me and said, "Zhang Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
I opened my eyes, sat up, looked at him and said, "Xiao Dezi, do you understand what the master said about yin, yang, water and qi?"
Xiao Dezi nodded and said: "Of course I understand. Besides, I have been listening to it for hundreds of years. If I hadn't gone to the lecture with you, I wouldn't have wanted to go. I don't have any intention."
I shook my head and said, "But have you understood it? Have you felt the subtle changes in the water vapor?"
Xiao Dezi looked at me and said, "What's the use of understanding it? I'm just an immortal, I don't have enough Qi. No matter how skilled I am, it's all in vain without strong Qi to support me. I'm just wondering, why am I stuck?"
Already?"
I thought about it and said, "Didn't you ask someone to check it?"
Xiao Dezi sighed, then sat down on his bed, leaned back and said, "Why not?"
