Martial arts talent system

Chapter 154

After a few days of leisure, Li Jianxin finally couldn't hold back his thoughts of being still and wanting to move.

On this day, Li Jianxin went to Dongchang alone and found Cao Zhengxiu.At that time, Cao Zhengxiu was sitting in the conference hall and watching [Baopuzi] wholeheartedly. Li Jianxin looked at Cao Zhengxiu reading a book, and couldn't help being a little curious, but he didn't bother him. He just sat quietly and waited for Cao Zhengxiu. After reading the book.

After a while, Cao Zhengxiu put down the [Baopuzi] in his hand, put away the books in his hand, and stuffed them into his sleeves.Only then did Cao Zhengxiu notice Li Jianxin, and he said, "How long has Li Shaoxia been here?"

"I've only been here for a while, but I didn't dare to disturb Cao Changgong when I saw you reading a book." Li Jianxin said respectfully. He was really grateful for Cao Zhengxiu's life-saving grace.

When Cao Zhengxiu heard this, he showed a warm smile, and said loudly: "Li Shaoxia doesn't need to be so polite, what are you doing here today?"

"The boy has nothing to do recently, but he wanted to gossip with Mr. Cao, and happened to see Mr. Cao watching this [Baopuzi], so he couldn't help but be a little curious."

"I wonder what Li Shaoxia is curious about? Is he curious about what Cao is reading, or is he curious about the book [Baopuzi]?" Cao Zhengxiu said with a smile, he was in a good mood these days.Since he saved Li Jianxin last time, Liu Yiyi has come back often to make tea for him, which has allowed him to enjoy some family happiness.

Hearing Cao Zhengxiu's words, Li Jianxin couldn't help touching his nose, and said calmly, "I'm all curious."

"Okay, since Li Shaoxia is curious, Cao and Li Shaoxia will come to clarify the confusion. I don't know what books Li Shaoxia usually reads?" Cao Zhengxiu looked at Li Jianxin as he spoke.

"I read some Buddhist scriptures in the early years, and now I vaguely remember some. In recent years, I have gradually realized it. As for the Taoist classics like [Baopuzi], I haven't read much." Li Jianxin didn't hide it, Just said it frankly.

"Actually Cao saw that [Baopuzi] was the same as Li Shaoxia's reading Buddhist scriptures, it was a kind of experience to realize one's own martial arts.

Dozens of years ago, Cao Mou went to Shaolin Temple, and the abbot at that time told me such a truth, saying that this Buddhist martial art must have advanced Buddhist practice to be able to exert its due power.

Cao, who was young and energetic at the time, cited several counter-examples, saying that martial arts is about martial arts and not about principles. There is no reason why martial arts needs the support of principles to exert its power.

The abbot just smiled and said Amitabha.I didn't understand it at the time, but I didn't understand the truth until I was in the realm of metamorphosis between heaven and man in the past 20 years. "

"What's the reason?" Li Jianxin watched Cao Zhengxiu start to talk about it, and quickly handed over the topic to Cao Zhengxiu.

Cao Zhengxiu smiled slightly, but said: "Young man with a heart, do you think there are many mediocre people in this world, or are there many extraordinary people?"

"Naturally there are more mediocre people."

"Yes, naturally there are more mediocre ones. For mediocre warriors, it is already very good for them to understand a principle to fit their own martial arts.

And those extraordinary people themselves stand out from these mediocre people. For them, there is not much cover for the principles of life and world affairs. If they do good, they are good, and if they do evil, they are evil. .

The principles of these martial arts are also the same. For ordinary monks, it is fortunate that this Dharma can bless those Buddhist martial arts. After all, to a certain extent, they have achieved the 'unity of knowledge and action'.As for the example we gave, we can’t say it’s wrong, but it’s somewhat exaggerated. Although those Buddhist scoundrels use Buddhist martial arts, to them, this martial art is just one of their tools for doing evil.

There is no distinction between good and evil tools. They have already implemented their own ideas in their own martial arts. These ideas have distorted the principles of martial arts itself. Naturally, there is no need for those Buddhist principles.Therefore, for a mediocre warrior, it is enough to just do what the martial arts classics teach him. "

Li Jianxin listened to Cao Zhengxiu's eloquent talk, and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and asked Cao Zhengxiu: "The factory master said martial arts from the heart?"

"Martial arts from the heart? It's not wrong. To a certain extent, martial arts is indeed restricted by the mind of the user. Of course, these are all below the realm of transformation between heaven and man. After reaching the realm of transformation between heaven and man But it's different."

"Oh, what's the difference between the celestial and human transformation state and the super-first-class state? Although the boy has touched the celestial-human transformation state, he doesn't know why the super-first-class state is so far from the celestial-human transformation state."

Cao Zhengxiu shook his head, stood up and shook his head at Li Jianxin and said, "I don't know how the laughing madman taught you. How come you don't know anything about this with your level of cultivation?"

Li Jianxin was about to defend himself when he heard the words, but Cao Zhengxiu said again: "Come, come with me to the backyard." After saying that, Cao Zhengxiu left the meeting hall of Dongchang and walked into the backyard.

Cao Zhengxiu pointed to the silver clothes in the courtyard, and asked Li Jianxin, "What did Shaoxia Li see here?"

Li Jianxin looked at Cao Zhengxiu and didn't know why. He just thought that Cao Zhengxiu's problem must not be that simple. He pondered for a while and said: "I saw the desolation after the snow in winter."

After listening to Li Jianxin's words, Cao Zhengxiu couldn't help but turn around and look at Li Jianxin, and then said: "To you Jianxin, it is lonely, but to Cao, this courtyard is quiet.

This courtyard has not changed much just now, it has always existed here, but the courtyard we both saw was different, which was caused by our state of mind at that time, that is, determined by our hearts.This is what a super-first-class realm can do, to implement one's own principles in martial arts.

Then let Cao come to show you what the realm of metamorphosis between heaven and man can do, watch it! "Cao Zhengxiu said, and Li Jianxin felt that there were pieces of murderous intent hidden in the silver-clad courtyard, and then the murderous intent condensed and disappeared, and the icy cold house began to glow with hot air. The snow has not melted in the slightest.

Seeing this unreasonable scene, Li Jianxin couldn't help being a little surprised. For his poor imagination, this is no longer something that martial arts should be able to do.Li Jianxin couldn't help but said: "Cao Changgong, is this what the realm of heaven and man can do?"

Listening to Li Jianxin's words, Cao Zhengxiu withdrew his true energy, and said slowly: "When a warrior enters the realm of transforming into a celestial being, it means that the warrior has reached the realm of 'do whatever you want'. The method is completely unknown in front of the masters of the realm of heaven and man. For the outside world, the warrior himself is enough to affect the existence of external things. This is a kind of ability for the warrior to carry out his own will, which means that no matter how hard the warrior is to be affected by the outside world. Factors affect the state of mind, but can let one's own martial arts influence the outside world and assimilate the world. So this martial arts is more about the polishing of one's own ideas in the future."

"I see. No wonder when I fought with Zhang Fengwu, I felt that I couldn't control my emotions, and I even felt a trace of jealousy. I was manipulated by him without knowing it." Li Jianxin said to himself .

Cao Zhengxiu pinched Li Jianxin's shoulder and said, "You mean this Feng Wu's martial arts can arouse negative emotions in others?"

"Yes? Is there anything strange about this?" Li Jianxin looked at Cao Zhengxiu slightly puzzled.

Cao Zhengxiu released his hands on Li Jianxin's shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I just lost control a little bit. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. But when it comes to the [Seven Sins Sect], this matter is a bit serious. This phoenix dance can arouse the negative emotions of others, which can invisibly promote the expansion of his Seven Sins. Ordinary people have no power to resist under his emotional control. In this way, it will not take long for him to The forces will condense as quickly as the Yellow Turbans."

"Yellow scarf?" Li Jianxin listened to Cao Zhengxiu's words, but remembered a dream he had a few months ago about Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher.

"Yes, the Yellow Turbans! A large part of the fall of the former Han Dynasty was due to the Yellow Turban Uprising. When Zhang Jiao raised his arms, the whole world was filled with Yellow Turbans in an instant. There was one Yellow Turban among three or five people. Do you think If Zhang Fengwu had gathered countless congregants like Zhang Jiao, then what would the world be like?" Cao Zhengxiu said with a hint of worry on his face.

Standing aside, Li Jianxin unconsciously touched the unknown ring on his right hand, but the scene of Zhang Fengwu raising his arms and shouting, and then the ground was filled with smoke and flames of war appeared in his mind.Thinking of this, Li Jianxin looked at Cao Zhengxiu and couldn't help asking a little nervously: "In that case, why didn't Master Cao pay attention to this Feng Wu?"

Cao Zhengxiu took a look at Li Jianxin, heaved a long sigh, and said helplessly: "After all, Dongchang is the power of the imperial court, but it cannot exercise power outside the rules.

Our family also wants to take precautions before they happen and nip the root causes of these problems in the cradle. However, due to some events that year, Dongchang's reputation in the world has been too tarnished.At that time, there was a peerless master of celestial transformation who killed the Forbidden City, threatened the late emperor, and forced the late emperor to make an oath to shrink the power of Dongchang.After Cao took over Dongchang, he only gathered his forces and most of the actions were carried out secretly. However, even so, Dongchang's reputation was constantly demonized.As long as the people from my East Factory are dispatched, everyone in the rivers and lakes there will be in panic.In the end, Dongchang was responsible for many unclear things. "

Li Jian believed a little of what Cao Zhengxiu said, but he didn't believe it entirely. In his opinion, the Dongchang was far from as clean as Cao Zhengxiu said.Of course, Li Jianxin was not stupid enough to show his thoughts. He was only grateful to Cao Zhengxiu now, not to Dongchang.Although Li Jianxin didn't believe it in his heart, he still said: "I think Mr. Cao Chang doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

"What's there to worry about?" Cao Zhengxiu laughed as he spoke, and said, "Didn't the yellow scarf be so powerful back then? After the horned body died, didn't the tree fall and the monkeys scattered? As long as this Feng Wu hits this After taking the name of the Seven Sins Patriarch and starting to act, then our family will have a good time with them." Seeing Cao Zhengxiu's proud look, Li Jianxin couldn't help being a little surprised at Cao Zhengxiu's conceit.

The two chatted about martial arts again. Most of the time, Li Jianxin was asking questions and Cao Zhengxiu was answering.

Li Jianxin felt dizzy when he heard that, Cao Zhengxiu looked at Li Jianxin's appearance, patted Li Jianxin's shoulder and said: "If you have time, you should read more Taoist classics written by the predecessors, which can help you along the way of martial arts. You have cleared up a lot of doubts. What Cao is saying now is his own thoughts, which may not be suitable for you. Martial arts, after all, you still have to walk your own path. Those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die. Remember this Just a word." Cao Zhengxiu solemnly patted Li Jianxin on the shoulder as he spoke, and Li Jianxin nodded solemnly.

"Come with me to the study." Cao Zhengxiu said and walked in the direction of the study. Li Jianxin just followed Cao Zhengxiu without saying anything.

In the study room, Cao Zhengxiu took out a copy of [Huainanzi] from the bookshelf and handed it to Li Jianxin, saying, "This [Huainanzi] can be used as an enlightenment book for Taoism. Read it through first, and then look at what you are interested in against my notes.

The classics of Taoism are not inferior to Buddhism and Confucianism, but the text is too concise, which is inevitably a bit obscure to read.If you can see it, read a few more classics, but you can look at the problem from the perspectives of Buddhism and Taoism, which can better help you enter the realm of metamorphosis between heaven and man.Come on, we still have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. "

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Li Jianxin took [Huainanzi] and flipped through it briefly, and saw that there were many small script footnotes beside the page, which must be Cao Zhengxiu's handwriting.

The two chatted for a few more words.Li Jianxin had the idea of ​​resigning, but someone outside the door shouted: "Mr. Factory, Qi Qi wants to see you."

"Come in." Cao Zhengxiu said and stretched out his hand. The true energy in his body moved the door leaf, and the door opened.Cao Shiqi walked to the study, half-knelt down and said: "Mr. Factory, Prince Ning has recently made a name for himself as the 'Qing Jun Side' in Guangzhou. It has entangled a large number of literati, and he has issued some grievances to denounce Mr. Factory. .”

However, Cao Zhengxiu waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem. Those military lords and Guangzhou prefects will get involved. Seventeenth, this kind of thing is not under the control of Dongchang, and Dongchang doesn't need to take care of it. Dongchang has to do it." The only ones left are the supervisory officials and Jiang Hu. Get up!"

"The boss taught me that." Cao Shiqi replied before standing up.

Li Jianxin next to him looked at Cao Zhengxiu's calm and relaxed appearance, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Don't you worry, Mr. Factory?"

"There's nothing to be anxious about. Prince Ning is just raising a banner, and he doesn't show his ambition.

There are more people in the world who know his virtuous reputation, and even more people know Cao's bad reputation.If Cao jumped out to speak now, wouldn't it just give him a chance to seize Cao's leverage?Cao couldn't interfere with this matter.

Besides, it was almost the end of the new year, and it was also the time of the new year. King Ning could only yell loudly now, but he had to calm down his subordinates and not let them get into trouble. "

"Is there something wrong with the factory owner being so confident?" Li Jianxin looked at Cao Zhengxiu and advised.

"King Ning is not a man of success, he just knows some tricks, so don't take it to heart." Cao Zhengxiu waved his hand and said.

After listening to Cao Zhengxiu's words, Li Jianxin stopped persuading him and just left.
