Dao Fruit

"The pursuit of literature cannot be pure and single-minded?"

Hearing this sentence, Qiu Yan's heart moved, and a long-standing question came to his mind.

In fact, he has long noticed that great scholars like Ma Yang can mobilize the order around them when reading and writing. Even simple words can make the spiritual energy resonate and make evil spirits ward off changes. However, he himself has not practiced magical powers. In fact, many great Confucian scholars devote themselves to studying and cannot devote their energy to practicing martial arts. As a result, their bodies are fragile and they will be threatened as long as they let martial artists get close to them.

However, those great Confucian scholars who have achieved something, although they have not followed the path of spiritual practice, have all understood Wenxin, which means they have skipped the first and second realms of monks and directly have the Taoist Heart and Boxing Intent.

Moreover, now that Qiu Yan himself has condensed the Taoist Heart and Fist Intention, he also realizes that as long as the great Confucians are willing, they can let the soul out of the body anytime and anywhere, and even overcome all kinds of tedious procedures, directly achieve the soul, and even reach a higher level. Break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level.

This is no joke, but their accumulation is too huge. The collection of classics and history has long been filled in their hearts, and it can undergo transformation at any time.

However, neither Ma Yang, nor Zhao Bingcheng, nor Han Yi, who was standing in front of Qiu Yan at this time, did so. They still let their souls disperse in flesh and blood, and they were still mortal bodies. Most of the time, they showed What comes out is just the level of a mortal old man.

When he first met Ma Yang, Qiu Yanshang didn't find it strange. When he met Zhao Bingcheng, he didn't show much power, as if he was just an ordinary old scholar. But now he saw Han Yi, who had the same status as the previous two people. , although the other party has a good momentum, and even the words and thoughts from his body are pouring out, filling the entire study, and even Qiu Yan's soul can be faintly suppressed by it, he is still a mortal.

It is possible that Han Yi is not a Confucian master, but a Legalist!

But in a sense. He is the same as Ma Yang and Zhao Bingcheng, so Qiu Yan's suspicions all along can't help but come to mind -

"Could it be that the pursuit of literature conflicts with the cultivation of sex?"

It was only at this moment, after hearing Han Yi's words, that Qiu Yan's speculation finally became possible.

When Han Yi heard Qiu Yan's rhetorical question, he shook his head, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down!"

"The student thanked the old Prime Minister." Qiu Yan did not ask further questions. He walked over, and Han Yi turned around and returned to his seat to sit down.

Qiu Yan only took his seat after Han Yi sat down.

"Your name is Qiu Yan? I have never heard of this name before. A few days ago, you released the captured Wensi, so I asked someone to ask, and after getting to know you a little bit, I found out about you."

Han Yi smiled slightly, and the solemn atmosphere in the room instantly dissipated: "Jiannan Dao Jie Yuan, the words have charm. Being able to write the words with charm shows that you have something on your mind. And since you have gathered the literary heart now, it shows that you have the Tao in your heart. , You have thoughts and principles, yes. No wonder you can keep your mind and body still and release them when faced with thoughts.”

"Sure enough, it was because of this matter that I was invited here."

Qiu Yan felt relieved. When he learned that Han Yi invited him to meet, he started to guess the reason. There are several possibilities listed, and this release of Vince is one of them.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Yan finally shook his head and said: "Returning literary and cultural relics to their original owners is actually not worthy of praise. For anyone else, as long as they have studied hard and have a conscience, they can put themselves in the shoes of those who have lost their literary and spiritual things. , you can make normal choices.”

"It's rare for you to have this kind of insight. However, many people only feel sorry for themselves. If things don't fall on themselves, they don't feel the pain. Therefore, they are often blinded by the things in front of them. They only pursue it for a while, but lose the whole life. Therefore, It is necessary for the court to formulate laws to restrain others and make up for the lack of humanity.”

Han Yi also shook his head. After saying something, he suddenly mentioned another matter: "I heard that you are very familiar with my Dali's laws. In Xuankou Town, you used it to reprimand King Yan's soldiers?"

Qiu Yan replied: "I dare not say that I am familiar with it, but when I was a child, my family was poor and had few books. It happened that my father was working as a clerk in the county government at that time, so he had access to the laws, codes and criminal systems, so he read them. Ripe."

This passage is true, but Qiu Yan, who memorized the laws and punishments, was not what he is now. He could only be regarded as a different kind of inheritance, and was inherited by Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan's father, Qiu Zonglin, worked as a clerk in the yamen. He could only be regarded as a helper, not really an official, because according to Dali law, subordinate officials and their sons could not take part in the imperial examination. Qiu Zonglin could not He would destroy his own future, not to mention his son. However, he had a good reputation after all, so he had built some connections in the yamen and had access to the legal code and criminal system.

Dari's engraving and printing costs a lot of money and is unaffordable for ordinary people. However, the government is not included in this. It has organized large-scale printing. This Lüdian Xingtong is one of them. Each yamen has two sets. Several thick volumes were lined up in a row for officials to read through.

In addition to the advisors who followed Taizu to pacify the world, the people who compiled this set of laws, codes, and punishments were also famous people who exhibited after the world was settled. Therefore, this set of books is limited to its purpose and is not considered to be literary and romantic. The word "value" refers to "Wen Tong", so Qiu Zonglin let his son read and memorize it.

"So that's what happened." After listening to Qiu Yan's narration, the smile on Han Yi's face became more obvious, "This is why you have a destiny with the Dharma..."

Afterwards, Han Yi seemed to be very excited about the conversation. He actually proposed a few laws for Qiu Yan to answer, or said one for Qiu Yan to follow the next sentence. It was as if he was learning what he had learned in the examination school, and Qiu Yan was able to produce it. A feeling like being in an examination room.

At the beginning, it was just simple content. Later, Han Yi would even tell Qiu Yan about the solutions for several cases and let him judge whether they were reasonable.

Such things are difficult for people who have never been to court to judge cases, and Qiu Yan is no exception. Fortunately, he has the incense mind, which can analyze instantly, and has the memory of his previous life as a reference, so he responded one by one.

Some of Qiu Yan's answers made Han Yi nod repeatedly, some made him fall into deep thought, and some made the old prime minister shake his head and frown.

After waiting for an incense stick of time, Qiu Yan actually felt that his thoughts were much clearer. The hidden soul gradually had a slight connection with the surrounding thoughts, and the Dao heart and fist intention were slightly supplemented, and he immediately understood.

"Yes, my Daoxin Quanyi is based on knowledge and action. This 'knowledge' is to seek knowledge, cognition, and knowledge, but action is not just to execute and implement it yourself. It also means to let the world follow it, and isn't the law the tool to achieve it?"

Just when Qiu Yan changed his mind, Han Yi suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Qiu Yan, nodded, and smiled and said: "Do your best to follow the law, and prepare for it. Although you are not from the Legalist family, you have the breath of the Legalist in your heart. Practice this way. You will definitely achieve something."

Do your best to follow the law, and prepare for it.

The words come from the article "Loving Ministers" by the Legal Saint, which means "to use the law to regulate everything about others and prepare various measures to supervise them", which is a clear manifestation of the Legalist thought.

"This old prime minister is trying to enlighten me."

Understanding this, Qiu Yan stood up from his seat, bowed to Han Yi and said, "Thank you for your teachings, old prime minister."

Han Yi smiled and waved his hand: "No need to thank me, I am doing this for the inheritance of my own school. Although you studied Confucianism and took the path of cultivation, you have talent and knowledge. When you go to the court in the future, you will always be able to hold power. And talking with you, I know that you have learned a lot, are eloquent and thoughtful, and are a seed of reading. You should learn the law and benefit the world. I am old. There is not much I can do for Da Rui."

Hearing this, Qiu Yan felt admiration and seized the opportunity to ask, "Is there a conflict between the path of cultivation and the way of literature? I got some inheritance by chance and don't know the secrets. I hope the old prime minister can help me. I can give you some pointers."

"In fact, you have already noticed something. When you have more ideas in the future, you will find the reason. But since you asked, I will tell you about it."

Han Yi picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and then said: "The way of cultivation, whether it is life cultivation or nature cultivation, is to gather external objects to satisfy oneself. Life cultivation is more direct, requiring natural treasures and spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and although nature cultivation is hidden, it also requires continuous collection of various theories and methods to awaken oneself as a state of mind accumulation. This kind of path can only achieve one person in the end, and at most the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven."

Speaking of this, Han Yi suddenly shut up, but what he said was like a flash of lightning, which dispersed the fog in Qiu Yan's heart and made his thoughts clear.

In fact, the truth here is not profound, but it is just a layer of paper, which is a blind spot in thinking.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and the old servant's voice came in--

"Master, you should rest."

Qiu Yan heard it and looked at Han Yi intently. He saw the fatigue in the other's eyes and understood it.

"Although the old Prime Minister Han is knowledgeable, he is a mortal after all. He looks strong and energetic, but his energy naturally declines with age. He has been talking for such a long time and he is still very interested. Of course, it consumes his mind."

Thinking of this, he took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Han Yi did not keep him, but said: "When you are free in the future, you can come and sit with me. My second son is entertaining young people, and there are also outstanding people among them. You might as well go and take a look. Maybe you can gain something."

"I will obey your order." Qiu Yan said this and retreated, and the old servant walked in.

"Brother Qiu, how is it? Did you gain anything from meeting my grandfather?" Han Wei'er was still waiting outside the door and asked when they met.

"I've benefited a lot." Qiu Yan nodded.

"Of course," Han Weier smiled, "My grandfather's knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people. By the way, my second uncle just sent someone to ask if you are willing to go over. He wants to introduce some people to you."

"Since Lord Han invited me, how can I refuse." Qiu Yan said, and left with Han Weier.

………………

In the study, Han Yi, who looked a little tired, drank a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and then said to the old servant: "Wu Ying, take out the third box on the second layer of the bookshelf and give it to Qiu Yan later, so that he can study it for a few days."

"Huh? What!" Wu Ying was surprised when he heard this, but he immediately concealed it and bowed his head to answer the order. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
