My Confucian Father

Chapter 13 The Dao Ke Dao

Chapter 13
By reviewing the past deeds of Confucian saints, combined with the entire history of the prosperity of Confucianism and Taoism, Su Mu discovered one thing.

Before the rise of Confucian saints, the world can directly lead the way of saints, only medicine, law, soldiers, and Buddha.

At that time, the highest Confucian and Taoist monks were only the fourth rank, and there were no monks of the third rank.

Later, Confucian saints rose and reached the bottleneck of the fourth rank of Confucianism cultivators at the age of 16. After four years of precipitation, they finally broke through this limit at the age of 20 and became the first Confucian cultivator in history to reach the upper third rank.

He is also the first scholar who cultivates a righteous spirit!
The emergence of Haoran Zhengqi has pointed out a path for scholars all over the world, letting them understand that if they want to reach the upper third rank, it is not just a matter of high knowledge.

But a real great Confucianism needs to have the lofty ambition of governing the country and the world, and seeking peace for all the common people!

Only in this way can it be called a "Confucianism" word!

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear.

Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and care about everything.

If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people, and if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your ruler.

Before the world's worries and worries, after the world's joy and joy.

Confucian saints used these principles to explain to all scholars what kind of heart is needed to become a real great Confucianism.

Learning is just the knowledge you have. What's the use of reading books all day without asking about things outside the window and burying your head in books?
If you can't be virtuous and don't have the ambition to govern the country and the people in your heart, you won't be able to cultivate awe-inspiring spirit.

In that case, no matter how high the knowledge is, it is just a book bag.

"Before Confucianism and Taoism reached the third grade, it was over. It was the Confucian saint who opened up a new path and became a saint."

"I can no longer take the path of Confucianism, but I don't believe that there are only a few paths of all schools of thought to become saints!"

"There is no way in the world, and the way is made by people. If Confucian saints can do it, why can't I?"

Su Mu's eyes were firm, and he didn't intend to accept his fate.

Everyone has traveled through time, why should he be inferior to Confucian saints?He didn't believe there was such a reason.

But soon Su Mu started to have difficulties again, because he didn't know where to start.

"What path do I want to practice? How to practice?"

Su Mu returned to the room and sat by the window, frowning and thinking hard, without any clue.

When the Confucian saints traveled across the world, at least there were Confucianism and Taoism there, so you don’t have to worry about which one to choose, just copy the poems without thinking and you’re done.

He has searched all kinds of books now, but he has not found any other paths except the five major paths of cultivation.

Could it be that he can only be a vulgar soldier?
Su Mu quickly nibbled on this idea, and both the Bing Sheng and the Dharma Sage were defeated by the Confucian Sage, which was simply too lucrative.

We have to find a path no less than Confucianism and Taoism...

When he thought of this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a bold idea emerged in his mind, which made him couldn't help but slap himself, and cursed: "I'm such an idiot!"

He found that he was really a fan of the authorities.

Why did he struggle with which way to go on the Three Thousand Ways?This is the world of Xianxia, ​​what kind of body training and books do you still want to read?He directly started cultivating immortals!

Su Mu suddenly became enlightened and extremely excited.

In China's 5000-year history, the most influential sects that have been passed down are Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism!

Now there are Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, but Taoism is still blank, at least he has not heard of Taoist monks.

Then he can take the path of Daomen cultivating immortals!

Buddhism is Taoism, Confucianism and Taoism are also conceived from Taoist thought, and Lao Tzu was once a teacher of saints.

In what way is Taoism worse than Confucianism and Taoism?

And in the records of Taoism, there are people who ascended to immortality!More than one!
If this was the case on the earth in the previous life, it might be even more suitable in this fairy world where one can cultivate already.

Therefore, cultivating immortality is his only way out, and how to cultivate immortality has already been clearly written in web novels.

"Cultivating immortality is different from other paths. This is a very clear golden road that can directly lead to immortality and ascension."

"But how should I practice? Where can I find exercises?"

"I don't know if I have spiritual roots..."

Su Mu frowned, the path is determined, but how to practice is another big problem.

Daoism is a Taoism with cultivation, but those Daoism are not something that he can touch as an ordinary person. Although he has read some classics of Taoism, he doesn't remember too much.

Among them, the most impressive one is the Tao Te Ching.

The Tao Te Ching is called the ancestral book of Taoism. It was written by Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, and it is full of infinite truth.

Su Mu is familiar with ancient books, and is quite familiar with sage classics such as the Tao Te Ching, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has memorized them backwards.

Because he has a habit, that is, whenever he is upset, he will meditate and recite the Tao Te Ching silently.

This can quickly calm his mind.

When I just crossed over before and couldn't move my whole body, except for the company of my mother Xu, I also relied on the Tao Te Ching to stabilize my mind and passed that tormenting time.

Therefore, when it comes to Taoism classics, the first thing he thinks of is Tao Te Ching, but although this book is wonderful and regarded as a must-read book for Taoism by countless people, it is not a practice method.

After thinking about it, Su Mu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, who cares, let's see if we can try it!"

If you try, you may not succeed, but if you don't try, you will never succeed.

Just doing what he said, Su Mu got up and closed the doors and windows, went back to the bed and meditated cross-legged, assuming a meditation posture with five hearts turned to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, he adjusted his breathing, slowed down his heartbeat, and made his pulse and breathing rate gradually converge.

He still knows the basic way of meditation and breathing. Breathing in one long short three way, this is the standard way of breathing.

The so-called one long means that the inhalation time is long, and the short three means that the exhalation time is only one third of the inhalation time.

This way of breathing is quite uncomfortable, and it is difficult to persist, but Su Mu still persists, while silently reciting the Tao Te Ching.

"The Tao can be the Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name can be the name, but it is not the eternal name. The nameless beginning of heaven and earth; the name is the mother of all things.

Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to observe its essence;These two come from the same name but have different names.

The same name is mysterious, mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders..."

Su Mu recited the Tao Te Ching silently, and soon he was shocked to find that as he recited silently, after only a moment, he felt a weak air flow gathering in his dantian!

"Is it really possible?!"

Feeling the qi in his dantian, Su Mu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he just tried it with the thought of being a dead horse doctor, and it really succeeded!

The Tao Te Ching can really be practiced!
With his heart surging, the energy in Su Mu's danzhong almost dissipated, which made him startled.

He didn't dare to be distracted any more, so he quickly concentrated on reciting the Tao Te Ching silently, and stopped thinking about other things.

Soon immersed in the text of Tao Te Ching.

He has experienced too much these days, and his spirit is a little exhausted, so now as soon as he starts to meditate, his whole body sinks involuntarily.

Su Mu's consciousness gradually blurred, his whole body was relaxed and natural, as if he had turned into nothingness and merged into the heaven and earth.

His whole being was in an extremely mysterious state, and he was not aware of everything around him.

And as Su Mu began to recite the Tao Te Ching silently, the aura in the room also began to fluctuate, and slowly flowed towards him.

He has completely entered the state of cultivation.

At this moment, the window was suddenly pushed open.

A sneaky figure entered the room, it was the big red-haired bird.

"Su Mu, Lord Bird, I'm a boudoir with yellow flowers. You kissed me, but you have to be responsible to me."

"From now on, Master Bird, I will be your bird..."

The big red-haired bird squirmed and said authentically, but when it looked up at Su Mu on the bed, it couldn't help being stunned.

Because it saw Su Mu sitting cross-legged on the bed in a strange posture, with his eyes tightly closed.

At the same time, a layer of faint fluorescence appeared on his body, which was the aura of heaven and earth that was constantly gathering.

The whole person is full of a very mysterious feeling.

"What is he doing?"

The big red-haired bird stared wide-eyed, uncertain.

Su Mu is now constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and he is obviously cultivating. With his knowledge, he can't see what Su Mu is cultivating.

It is neither the way of warfare, nor the way of Buddhism or medicine, nor the way of Confucianism or law, but a way he has never seen before.

More like... a demon!

Because the Yaozu gathers the spiritual energy of the heaven and the earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and after thousands of years of hard training, they can become great monsters, and they have to go through thunder disasters, which can be described as very difficult.

Therefore, more demons choose to slaughter the human race directly, sucking the blood and soul of the human race, which can greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

From its point of view, Su Mu's current method looks like a monster!

But Su Mu is human!

Just when the big red-haired bird was full of confusion, it saw Su Mu's lips moving, as if he was saying something.

After hesitating for a moment, the big red-haired bird approached cautiously, only then could he hear what Su Mu said clearly.

"...the world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog; the sage is not benevolent, and treats the people as a straw dog.

Between the heaven and the earth, is it still a big one?Emptiness and unyielding, moving and Yu out.If you hear a lot and are poor, it is better to stay in the middle..."

Su Mu's voice was ethereal and lofty, and it fell into the ears of the big red-haired bird, causing its body to tremble like it was struck by lightning.

It doesn't know what Su Mu is reading, but every sentence and every word seems to contain infinite truths, resounding in its mind like a great bell!

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs!
