Taiqing Sword

Chapter 55, Returning to God and Returning to the Market

Shangguan Jinghong has figured out what is the unity of man and nature. To put it bluntly, it means spending very little internal energy to use the power of heaven and earth for his own use. Float to any place where the breeze blows, come with the wind, and leave with the waves.

"Teacher, you have just realized the realm of the unity of man and nature. You must firmly consolidate it and learn how to use it. In the past few days, you can explain to me and practice with me. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Hong Hong Ever since Tianyu accepted Shangguan Jinghong as an apprentice, he never really taught him, but let Shangguan Jinghong grope for himself, and Shangguan Jinghong also understands the truth that the master leads him into the door to practice, and has never disturbed Hong Tianyu, just like this, one of the two doesn't want to teach, and the other doesn't want to bother.

But now it is different, the realm of the unity of man and nature has only been achieved by five people since ancient times, and all of these five people have dominated for a while, and one of them has reached the supreme martial arts, and the worst one is also ranked in the top ten in the world Shangguan Jinghong has realized the unity of heaven and man before he stepped into the realm of becoming a saint, and his future achievements in martial arts are limitless. If Hong Tianyu doesn't pay attention to it now, he will be a teacher in vain.

At this time, Shangguan Jinghong was also at a loss for the way ahead. He originally relied on two extreme exercises to hope to break through to the fifth level of Taiji Xuantian Kungfu. His realm has not improved at all, and he was eager for someone to give advice, so he nodded and said: "Master, then I will go and talk to Ning Xin, and I will go to your place later."

At this time, Leng Han and Ning Xin were talking happily, Shangguan Jinghong came in suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I'm so sorry, I can't accompany you, I'm going to retreat with the master for a few days, Ning Xin, you take care of me Let uncle take a turn."

Ning Ning's heart twitched, and she asked worriedly: "Jinghong, what happened?"

"Oh, that's not true. I'm eager to make breakthroughs in my skills. Just now, by accident, I realized the realm of the unity of man and nature. The master asked me to retreat immediately to consolidate the realm."

Ning Ningxin once saw the unity of man and nature in an ancient book, but he only mentioned it briefly, and didn't understand it at all, so he was even more worried. , Uncle, I will take my leave first."

Leng Han nodded: "Well, let's go, Xin'er doesn't have to worry too much, with Senior Hong around, nothing can go wrong with Jinghong."

Listening to Hong Tianyu's presence, Ning Ningxin felt a little more relaxed: "Jinghong, how many days do you want to retreat for?"

"I don't know yet, let's talk about it after I leave the customs." After finishing speaking, Shangguan Jinghong quickly arrived at Hong Tianyu's residence.

Seeing Shangguan Jinghong coming, Hong Tianyu knew that he had made arrangements, and said, "Disciple, there is no limit to the advancement of martial arts. There is a saying that the waist and the horse are integrated in the practice of external exercises. My martial arts also need to achieve the unity of yin and yang, but the highest state of all this is the unity of heaven and man. The former is only compatible with oneself, but the harmony of heaven and man is different. How can it be stronger than heaven and earth?"

Shangguan Jinghong nodded thoughtfully, and Hong Tianyu continued: "As a teacher, let me ask you, what is heaven and earth?"

Shangguan Jinghong thought for a while and said: "This world is everything in this world."

Hong Tianyu nodded appreciatively: "Well said, you are one with the heaven and the earth, that is, you are compatible with all things. In the past, there was a saying in Buddhism that 'there are five elements in the world, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and five directions, east, west, north, south, middle, and more. There are five immortals, they are heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts." The four elements of Buddhism are empty and the heaven and earth are regarded as the most important. It can be seen that the power of heaven and earth is extraordinary. In addition, the skills we practice are not included in the five elements, but Qi training, yin and yang Qi, one clear and one turbid, the combination of the two is chaos, since it is Qi and does not belong to any of the five directions, this is why very few people can practice Taiji Xuantian Kungfu."

Shangguan Jinghong seemed to understand but didn't understand, he didn't understand why Hong Tianyu said this to himself, but he didn't ask, he just waited for Hong Tianyu to continue talking.

"Disciple, the protection of yin and yang energy can contain all things, and the heaven and earth can contain yin and yang energy. What you need to do now is not to think about how to break through, but to learn how to use the heaven and earth to accommodate yin and yang energy. When you master it, everything in this world will become your weapon."

"Master, do you mean to let me learn to control the power of heaven and earth, and the power of nature?"

"Hehehe, what a big tone, control? How can this power of heaven and earth be controlled by one person? You only need to be able to use one ten-thousandth of it to become the number one master in the world."

Shangguan Jinghong scratched his head in embarrassment, heard the master say something about gods and ghosts, and thought he was destined to become a fairy, but it turned out that he was thinking too much: "What the master taught is that the disciple is too ignorant."

"Teacher, I have attached a very small amount of my internal energy to an object in this room. It can only be attached for three days, and it will disappear after three days. Now you have to use the harmony between man and nature you have realized within three days. One realm to feel the difference between him, find out this object and give it to me.”

Shangguan Jinghong's eyes were slightly closed, everything around him was in his heart, he searched hard but couldn't find any difference, Hong Tianyu smiled and said: "If you can feel this way, then you understand the unity of man and nature. Realm is useless." After speaking, Hong Tianyu turned around and left the room, leaving Shangguan Jinghong alone.

Shangguan Jinghong looked at himself as a cheap master, and he didn't care about anything after talking about the theory, but the key is reality, what's the use of talking?In fact, this is also Shangguan Jinghong's mistake of blaming Hong Tianyu. It's not that Hong Tianyu doesn't want to teach him, but that even though Hong Tianyu has reached the stage of becoming a saint, he has no chance to realize the unity of heaven and man, and there is no way to teach him. Hong Tianyu also saw those principles from ancient books in the past.

'Forget it, you have to rely on yourself. Shangguan Jinghong sighed in his heart, closed his eyes slowly, and scanned every corner of the room with his thoughts, but he didn't notice anything that was out of the ordinary. Shangguan Jinghong was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Hong Tianyu's voice came: "Teacher, the air flowing around your cheeks is a part of your body."

Shangguan Jinghong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he felt the surrounding aura circling around him, even the slightest breeze coming from the crack of the door was in Shangguan Jinghong's consciousness, Shangguan Jinghong attracted As this airflow slowly hit every corner of the room, every object, suddenly a writing brush on the table had a slight airflow rebound, Shangguan Jinghong raised the corner of his mouth, and took the brush in his hand: "Master, It's a good deal."

Hearing this, Hong Tianyu also opened the door and came in: "Yes."

Shangguan Jinghong was still waiting for the next sentence, but Hong Tianyu stopped talking. Shangguan Jinghong said: "Master, don't you praise me?"

Hong Tianyu glared at Shangguan Jinghong angrily, and said: "Praise you, what is there to praise? As a teacher, I have never realized the unity of heaven and man, but after all, there are lessons learned from the past. What is the value of using the natural energy to find an object?" To show off? The true unity of man and nature, you can empty a lake, even if it is rumored that it is possible to move mountains and seas, what is there to brag about?"

Shangguan Jinghong scratched his head in embarrassment: "Haha, I'm just joking, but master, can you really move mountains and seas?"

"Is it true? I haven't seen it, but there are records in ancient books. It is said that the Martial Dao Supreme once sailed on the sea and met hundreds of demon masters. , the Supreme Being couldn’t bear to see the innocent beings burnt to the ground, so he played the piano and made waves to defeat the enemy.”

When Shangguan Jinghong heard this, he couldn't help but think of "the blue sea produces tides and press the jade flute", and he was even more shocked: "Master, is the record true? Then the supreme one really used a zither to make waves in the sea and repel the powerful enemy ?”

"Haha, apprentice, I didn't realize that level as a teacher, but you, who have already achieved the unity of heaven and man, came to ask me? Isn't it ridiculous?" Hong Tianyu laughed and said self-deprecatingly.

Shangguan Jinghong also scratched his head helplessly: "It seems that I am the only one who has figured it out by myself."

Hong Tianyu nodded and said: "Yes, the road ahead is hard. I thought I could give you a few pointers, but now it seems that you are limitless, and the only thing a teacher can help you is when you want to know some secrets. Time to be a storyteller."

"Master, what shall we do next?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Didn't you say to let me retreat for a few days?"

"Hehe, I said before that I don't understand the unity of man and nature. I originally thought that it would take at least three days for you to find the things I used. Who knew you would find them in an hour. As a teacher, I don't know what's next. What should we do?"

Shangguan Jinghong who said this was slightly taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "The disciple has retired."

"but……"

As soon as Shangguan Jinghong was obedient, there was a turning point: "But what?"

"However, you now have enough strength to attack the fifth entrance of Taiji Xuantian Kungfu, don't you want to try?"

Shangguan Jinghong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Master, please give me advice."

Hong Tianyu said: "The fifth entrance, originally I thought your grade was too young and it was extremely difficult to reach, but it seems that it is extremely easy for you to pass this level." Hong Tianyu looked at the bewildered Shangguan Jinghong , Paused and continued: "Returning to the gods and returning to the ruins, to put it bluntly, is also a kind of perception. Compared with the unity of heaven and man, it is very different, but it is also wonderful in the same way. When everything returns to the ordinary and the true, then You can find yourself and do whatever you want.”

"Master, what the master means is that returning to the gods and returning to the ruins is to make yourself ordinary and ordinary, so you have no desires and desires. It is because you have no desires and desires that you can do whatever you want?" After thinking through this, Shangguan was shocked. Hong Tianyu stared blankly as soon as Hong's breath turned, but Shangguan Jinghong, the protagonist, didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Hong Tianyu clapped his hands and laughed, turned around and walked away when he heard the words: "It's time for you to retreat as a teacher. You can go on your own in the future."

Shangguan Jinghong was completely taken aback: "Master, what do you mean?"

The only one who answered this sentence was Hong Tianyu's back.
