Chapter 40: Playing the Sword and Dancing the Knife
Taoist Qingya saw that Mu Qiuhuang was deep in thought, so he did not urge him. He stared at Mu Qiuhuang seriously, expecting his explanation.
Mu Qiuhuang sighed slightly and said, "I can't explain it."
Before Taoist Qingya frowned, Mu Qiuhuang quickly explained: "Some words can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words... I have thought about these words for a long time and found that no matter how I explain them, they may not be the same as what they originally intended to express.
The meaning is quite different."
After Mu Qiuhuang said these words, he was ready to be beaten, because this kind of thing has happened before. The last time Taoist Qingya asked him to explain a paragraph in "Qianfang Ji", Mu Qiuhuang had perfunctoryly said
, which resulted in a beating... Later, Mu Qiuhuang had become accustomed to this. What's more, Mu Qiuhuang discovered that after being beaten by Taoist Qingya, although the wound hurt, her body felt better than before.
few.
Therefore, although Mu Qiuhuang was beaten, he did not feel resentful.
After waiting for a long time, before feeling the imaginary fist fall, Mu Qiuhuang raised her head and asked in confusion: "Why don't you hit me if I don't explain it to you this time?"
After asking this question, Mu Qiuhuang felt a bit mean-spirited, so she smiled sheepishly.
Taoist Qingya turned around and looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a puzzled expression. Apparently he didn't know what Mu Qiuhuang was laughing at.
Taoist Qingya looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said seriously: "The last time I beat you, it was because you were deliberately perfunctory with me. It was natural for me to beat you. But this time you told the truth. If I was beating you, it would be unfair."
I'm being unreasonable."
Mu Qiuhuang looked puzzled and said: "How do you judge whether I am telling the truth or a lie?"
Taoist Qingya looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said seriously: "You can tell by looking at His Royal Highness's face."
Mu Qiuhuang was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be a mind-reading skill?
Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang raised his eyes, looked at Taoist Qingya carefully, and couldn't help but ask: "Come and see what I am thinking about right now?"
Taoist Qingya looked at Mu Qiuhuang with suspicion and said, "Xiaodao is not a roundworm in your belly, how can he know what you are thinking?"
Taoist Qingya thought for a while and said: "Last time Xiaodao asked His Highness the Crown Prince what ants climb up a tree? His Royal Highness casually told Xiaodao that ants climbing up a tree means ants climbing up a tree. Xiaodao asked you why it is not ants climbing up the mountain but ants descending the river.
At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mocked Xiao Dao again... But this time the Crown Prince told Xiao Dao, "It can only be understood, not expressed in words." This sentence is closely related to the Buddhist saying of holding flowers and smiling. It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought carefully before answering this time.
Xiaodao, so His Royal Highness did not deceive Xiaodao this time..."
"Is this how you judge?" Mu Qiuhuang looked shocked.
Taoist Qingya looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "Appearance comes from the heart. From a person's face, you can naturally judge what is in that person's heart."
After listening to Taoist Qingya's explanation, Mu Qiuhuang looked depressed and thought: "If I had known that I could make you believe these words that come and go in a serious manner, why would I have written these days in vain?
After receiving those beatings..."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, His Royal Highness, please don't slander Xiaodao in your heart?" Taoist Qingya said.
Mu Qiuhuang looked confused and said, "Do you really know or are you pretending to know?"
Taoist Qingya looked at Mu Qiuhuang and replied: "Xiaodao said, 'The face is born from the heart'. His Royal Highness cannot deceive Xiaodao."
Mu Qiuhuang did not speak this time and was dubious about Master Qingya's words.
The little donkey, on the other hand, rolled his eyes over Qingya and Taoist Mu Qiuhuang, thinking sarcastically, the human world is really false, and it’s still a donkey.
The world is so simple. Thinking of this, the little donkey picked up a fruit in his mouth and started chewing it deliciously.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at the donkey's face and couldn't help but said leisurely: "Donkey breeder, why do I feel that you treat this beast any better than you treat your disciples and grandchildren?"
Yes, "donkey breeder" is Mu Qiuhuang's unique title for Taoist Qingya.
Taoist Qingya was not angry at Mu Qiuhuang's words. He tilted his head and said, "Hey, in your eyes, he is a beast, but in my eyes, he is my best friend."
"Hey?" Mu Qiuhuang pursed her lips and asked, "The name you gave me?"
"What? Hey, doesn't it sound good?"
Mu Qiuhuang joked with a smile on her face: "That sounds good, that sounds good. Your name is Qingya, and his name is Heiya. It would be unreasonable for you two not to be friends..."
Taoist Qingya turned his head and looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "What's so funny about this?"
Mu Qiuhuang saw that Taoist Qingya was serious and laughed a few times, but she couldn't help but feel bored. She thought for a while and said: "Donkey breeder, do you know what little monk Wuxin has been doing this month?"
Yes, since Mu Qiuhuang and Wuxin came to Wudang Mountain, Zhang Fuling separated the two. Mu Qiuhuang followed the donkey to Feisheng Cliff to practice, while the young monk Wuxin was taken elsewhere by Zhang Fuling.
To be honest, Mu Qiuhuang hadn't seen Wu Xin in a month, but she still felt a little worried about him.
Taoist Qingya looked at Mu Qiuhuang and asked doubtfully: "Is the young monk your friend?"
"That's right!"
Mu Qiuhuang thought for a moment, nodded and said firmly: "We are friends, just like you and your hey."
"Oh." Taoist Qingya responded to express his understanding.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Wu Xin?" Mu Qiuhuang asked with a worried look on his face.
Taoist Qingya shook his head and said, "He's fine."
Mu Qiuhuang felt relieved after hearing this.
Taoist Qingya continued: "This friend of yours has been quite the limelight on the mountain this month. He actually challenged seventy-two peaks in one month and won them all."
"The young monk challenged the seventy-two peaks alone?" Mu Qiuhuang looked incredulous.
We must know that the humble and meek young monk Wu Xin will never take the initiative to cause trouble. With Wu Xin's character, how can he challenge the Seventy-two Peaks to cause trouble? What's more, the disciples who can practice alone in the Seventy-two Peaks of Wudang will definitely have a certain level of cultivation.
They are all the best in Wudang... Although the young monk is a disciple of Buddhism, based on his age, his memory inheritance should not be integrated. But if there is no integration, how can he beat those outstanding people?
Who?
But now Wuxin has not only challenged them one by one, but also won them all. Isn't this contrary to common sense?
Taoist Qingya saw Mu Qiuhuang's confused look and knew that he didn't believe it, so he continued to explain: "I don't know why the master did this. After you came to Feisheng Cliff, the master arranged for the young monk to go to Qisheng.
The Twelve Peaks repeatedly asked for advice, but they also ordered the disciples in the Seventy-Two Peaks not to bully the little monk based on their cultivation... In this way, those guys who usually don't know how to practice hard are no match for them, but okay
These discussions were all done at the last minute, so no one was injured..."
"So that's what happened?" Mu Qiuhuang suddenly realized.
Seeing Mu Qiuhuang's appearance, Taoist Qingya asked in confusion, "Can you understand the master's intention?"
"I guessed."
Mu Qiuhuang picked up a fruit, rubbed it on her body, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Your master should
Is it to bring Buddhism and Taoism closer together? I don’t know much about the specific situation.”
"Bringing the relationship closer to Buddhism and Taoism?" Qingya Taoist murmured to himself.
Mu Qiuhuang saw Taoist Qingya deep in thought, but she stopped continuing the topic and interrupted: "By the way, donkey breeder, last time you said that I could practice swordsmanship, was it true or not?"
"Of course it is true, the Taoist path has never deceived people." Taoist Qingya said dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang explained: "I didn't doubt your intention, but Gu Chenyuan, a swordsman, once told me before that I was not suitable to learn swordsmanship after I learned it..."
"When Chi Jianxian said these words, you should have said them before your Qi Hai was still alive, right?" Taoist Qingya asked.
Mu Qiuhuang scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Is there any difference?"
Taoist Qingya nodded and explained: "Of course there is a difference. If a person's Qi sea is compared to a big vat, the real energy is like the water in that vat. The real Yuan accumulated in your Qi sea before is all yours.
After practicing the sword, it is naturally more suitable for wielding the sword than for wielding the sword... But it is different now. Your Qi sea is now broken and then established. When your Qi sea is destroyed, your true energy has already been exhausted, just like the water in a vat.
It's completely normal, now your Qi sea is like an empty tank that has been repaired. Because it is empty inside, you can now better fill it with things. If you fill it with wine, it will be wine, and if you fill it with oil, it will be oil...
"
After hearing this explanation, Mu Qiuhuang's eyes lit up and she said, "Can I pour wine and oil at the same time?"
"You want to practice swords and swords at the same time?" Taoist Qingya sat up and asked in surprise.
"What? Isn't it possible?" Mu Qiuhuang's face was full of doubts.
Taoist Qingya did not answer directly, but picked up a piece of gravel and drew countless lines densely on the ground, mumbling to himself constantly...
"If we can't practice at the same time? I will continue to practice swordsmanship, right?" Mu Qiuhuang said to Taoist Qingya: "I'm a little fanciful, and that's right. In all these years, there has indeed been no one who wields swords at the same time in the world.
.If you think about it carefully, it is quite clear that human energy is limited after all. If everything is too complicated, I am afraid that I will bite off more than I can chew..."
Seeing that Taoist Qingya ignored her words, Mu Qiuhuang curled her lips helplessly and looked at Taoist Qingya for a while. After realizing that she couldn't understand what he drew on the ground, Mu Qiuhuang lost interest.
Just when Mu Qiuhuang was about to complete his unfinished feat today, carrying rocks down the mountain, Taoist Qingya suddenly stood up and said to Mu Qiuhuang with excitement on his face: "It's feasible, what you said is
Is it feasible?”
"What is feasible?" Mu Qiuhuang asked puzzledly.
"Is it possible to pour water and oil at the same time? Even if water and oil are not compatible, you can also pour water and sand at the same time..." Taoist Qingya danced and gestured.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Taoist Qingya and asked, "You mean I can practice sword repair at the same time?"
"Yes, the prince's words awakened the dreamer. I have evolved countless times and found that what the prince said is feasible?" Taoist Qingya said happily.
"You just smeared it on the ground for a long time, just evolving these things?" Mu Qiuhuang was stunned.
"You don't understand!" Taoist Qingya said happily: "One method can lead to changes in all methods. This is the same as what is described in Taoist Tai Chi..."
Mu Qiuhuang was confused about what Taoist Qingya described in his words, and knew nothing about his nonsense... He only understood one thing, that is, he could practice swordsmanship at the same time.
