Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 113 Undefeated in form and unfailing in appearance

"Rich imagination."

This is a sentence that almost all the commentators of "Zhuangzi" in later generations must mention when introducing this book, including modern times of course.In the translation of Zhuangzi that Xu Guangling is reading now, there is this sentence in the preface.

In the past, Xu Guangling also regarded Zhuangzi as such a person and "Zhuangzi" as such a book.

But today at Mr. Zhang's place, as I said earlier, Xu Guangling's world view was refreshed, and after the refreshment, he realized that there are still some things in the world that ordinary people don't know.

If Zhuangzi is really a "Great Master", assuming that this is a fact, then looking at the book "Zhuangzi", isn't it "unique and rich in imagination"?

Not any more.

totally not.

It is very likely that a great master is speaking lightly, leisurely, and casually about some experience in the realm of a master, without exaggeration or imagination, just starting from himself, and then using some metaphors appropriately Or just to explain.

To put it simply, this is probably a manual, a manual about certain realms, levels and experiences.

Not boring, that's all.

But it should definitely have nothing to do with "imaginative" or anything like that.

And if "Zhuangzi" is like this, then "Laozi" is not?Accompanied by this idea, Xu Guangling suddenly felt that he had read "Lao Tzu" many times in the past, and the five thousand words he knew by heart in each chapter began to become a little strange at this time.

If Zhuangzi is a great master, what level is Laozi?

An ordinary person?Xu Guangling wouldn't believe it even if he said it.At the same time, when searching that night, a piece of information about Laozi also appeared in Xu Guangling's consciousness at this time, it was about Laozi after he left Hangu Pass.

It is said that later, Lao Tzu "ascended" in a certain place.

At that time, Xu Guangling took a second look at this kind of nonsense and thought it was a waste of time. He even saw some scholars verify Lao Tzu's specific "ascension location". At that time, Xu Guangling felt that it hurts!

Xu Guangling doesn't know how to evaluate the scholars who have verified this kind of thing.

But at this time, Xu Guangling suddenly became suspicious.At this moment, Xu Guangling felt that many things in history needed to be re-understood.

With such a thought in mind, Xu Guangling saw the following sentence in Zhuangzi's Great Master: "Nan Bo Zikui asked the girl, saying: 'You are old, but you are as beautiful as a child, why should you be a child? Also?' Said: 'I have heard the Tao.'"

The color is like a child.

If he had seen it in the past, in fact Xu Guangling had seen it before, and his understanding at that time was that this was a description, the so-called white hair and youthful face.

But if you think about it carefully, you will feel that this understanding is actually wrong. ——A person with white hair and youthful face, the world will know that he is good at keeping in good health, or good at keeping in good health, well maintained, and he will never ask "Why?", but only ask, "How do you take care of it?"

Only completely extraordinary phenomena will make people can't help but ask, "Why?"

At this moment, Xu Guangling stretched out his right arm in front of his eyes again, put it in his line of sight, looked at it, put it down again, and put it on the page again.

The heart orifice in his right hand has only been opened for a day.

But after sleeping, his entire right arm has already undergone a slight change.If the days go by, will his right arm also look "like a child"? ——It is similar to a child's arm.

On it, there will be no flaws at all, whether it is the appearance or the inside.

Because there is no obstacle in metabolism, qi and blood flow in it vigorously and vigorously. In other words, every cell is in the healthiest and most perfect state, and can always receive the most sufficient nutritional supply.

In a situation like this, there's no reason for a flaw, even a little bit!

Going back to this sentence, if Zhuangzi is really a "true person" or "great master" who understands all five hearts, then this sentence is not at all Nanbo Zikui asking a woman, but Zhuangzi is introducing a phenomenon. To make an explanation——"Those who are connected with five hearts, their beauty will not fade."

Is it or is it not?

It is impossible for Xu Guangling to know for the time being, but this does not prevent him from making such a judgment or conjecture.

At this time, Xu Guangling couldn't help recalling the appearance of the two old gentlemen Zhang Lao and Chen Lao.

"Mr. Zhang, your body is as healthy as a pine, your spirit is as deep as a bell, and your mind moves like a dragon. You look like forty or fifty people." When I first met Mr. Zhang, Xu Guangling said to Mr. Zhang, "Look If there are forty or fifty people here," Xu Guangling was actually exaggerating.

If it is not exaggerated, the real description should be, "It looks like fifty or sixty people."

That is, add ten years to the top.

But how old is Zhang Lao this year?Xu Guangling doesn't know, anyway, it's seventy plus, how much to add, how old to add, whether it's in his teens, or tens of years, I don't know.

However, even so, it doesn't really fit the description of "the color of a child", if Xu Guangling didn't misunderstand it.

How can it be called conformity?

There is no need to force yourself to be like a boy in his teens or twenties. Even if he is completely healthy and his metabolism is completely unaffected, there is still a difference between old and young, but at least he should look like a 40- or 40-year-old. A bit old.

And "look old", this feature should not exist.

But in the study, Zhang Lao admitted that he had opened up his top opening.

Perhaps opening only one orifice will not be able to resist the "big trend" of the whole body after all, and all five hearts must be connected, or five orifices must be opened at the same time, in order to truly look like a child, with invincible shape and unfailing appearance?

Next, Xu Guangling's memories shifted from Mr. Zhang to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen looks younger than Mr. Zhang, there is no doubt about it, but that doesn't mean anything.Mr. Chen also does not meet the requirement of "sex like a child". Of course, he is not all-in-one.

Xu Guangling's suspicion is that Mr. Chen may have connected three hearts, that is, the heart on the top of the head, and the palms of the hands.

"With one heart, you can stay underwater for about half an hour. With three hearts, you can stay underwater for two to three to seven or eight hours. Maybe some people can take longer, but it's just a matter of tolerance. , the basic situation is that Sanxinsongtong is still unable to fully breathe in water for self-sufficiency.”

"As for whether the five-heart-connected person can be self-sufficient and thus extend the time in the water indefinitely, there is no clear record in ancient books."

This is what Zhang Lao said at the time.

Xu Guangling didn't pay attention at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he thinks there was a problem. ——There is no record in the ancient books of those who have five hearts and five hearts. Could it be that there are people with one heart and three hearts?
