The heavens begin with Hongquan

Lu Jinzhi looked at the word "国" on the desk, tasted it carefully, and gradually saw the flavor in it.

"Mr. Kang, this word is probably for the old man."

With that said, Wanyankang carefully rolled up the scroll without waiting for a response.

That way, it's like handling a rare treasure.

If outsiders saw Lu Jinzhi's behavior, they would be shocked.

Because Lu Jinzhi himself is a master of calligraphy and painting, a calligraphy and painting is worth a thousand dollars, and it is actually like this now.

Wanyankang laughed dumbly.

"Mr. Lu, this calligraphy book was written for you. If you can understand the true meaning of it, play with it and copy it every day, and spend your time leisurely, you can live at least ten more years."

Extend your life by ten years!

So magical?

"Sir, is this too exaggerated?" Yelu Chucai didn't believe it.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Lu Jinzhi laughed.

"Master Yelu, your realm has not reached that level yet, and you don't know the true meaning of the secret. The artistic conception in this calligraphy is the real secret of cultivation. Cultivate the aura of awe-inspiring and obtain the essence of jade, which can cleanse the essence, nourish the nature and prolong life. Yes. It can be passed down from generation to generation.”

Huang Yaoshi sighed slightly: "Now I understand, why can you resist my sound wave skill? It's because your internal skill has returned to its original state, and you are just like an ordinary person."

Although, he didn't understand how Wan Yankang's cultivation could reach such a high level at his age?

Even if you practice it from your mother’s womb, it’s impossible!

Wan Yankang said: "Island Master Huang, you misunderstood. I do not have any internal strength, but it does not mean that I have not practiced."

No matter what kind of internal energy, it must go through the step of "refining and transforming qi" - refining the water, grain essence and natal essence in the body, and turning it into invisible and qualitative internal force.

But for Wan Yankang, this is just pushing the body.

For so many years, he has been carefully caring for his body, strengthening his body and making up for the loss of his innate origin.

"What is spiritual practice?"

Wanyankang suddenly asked.

What is spiritual practice?

Huang Yaoshi, Lu Jinzhi, and Yelu Chucai each had their own answers.

Wanyankang said: "It is recorded in the Diamond Sutra that Subhuti asked Sakyamuni: "If you want to become a Buddha, how can you subdue your mind? ". In one sentence, the true meaning of spiritual practice is revealed. Four words - surrender your mind."

Surrender his heart?

The three of them were shocked and each realized something.

"This is a Buddhist saying. It is similar to it, such as the Taoist saying of "reaching the extreme of emptiness and maintaining tranquility" and the Confucian saying of "entering concentration". These actually mean the same thing."

When returning home, Yelu Chucai was still thinking about Wanyankang's words about "country".

Yelu family.

After finishing his official duties, Yelu Lu talked with Yelu Chucai.

"Sanlang, what's wrong today? You're out of your mind."

Yelu Chucai ranks third in the family, with the eldest brother Yelu Biancai and the second brother Yelu Shancai.

The eldest, Yelu Biancai, served as the general of the country, the second, Yelu Shancai, went to General Longhuwei, all serving as errands in the palace, while Yelu Chucai served as the chief historian in the palace of King Zhao.

However, it was this younger son that Yelu Lu valued most.

Because the official positions of the eldest son and the second son only sound majestic, but in fact they are prestigious but not powerful.

But the long history of Prince Zhao's Mansion is different. Especially in the past few years, Prince Zhao's momentum has been very strong, and he has surpassed other princes both inside and outside the court.

"Dad, I'm fine. I just traveled with the prince today and felt a little bit."

"Oh, come and listen to me as a father."

Then, Yelu Chucai explained Wanyankang's explanation of the word "国".

After hearing this, Yelu Lu closed his eyes, stroked his beard, and fell into deep thought.

"Sanlang, do you think the young prince's words are a test of King Zhao's will?" "A test?"

"Use "country" to express your aspirations, receive orders from heaven, and live a long and prosperous life. This is the ambition of an emperor!"

"You are worrying too much, dad. The prince has never concealed his ambition, otherwise the child would not choose to assist him."

"Sanlang, it's better to be safe. Although your Majesty is old, he is still getting stronger. In addition, the position of the prince is still undecided, so everything is not clear yet."

"...Dad, some things are confidential, I can't tell you too clearly." Yelu Chucai carefully considered his words, "I can only say that the crown prince has become a trend and no one can stop him. But the crown prince doesn't want to leave yet. Just go to the front.”

Yelu Lu frowned.

He keenly captured the key point in his son's words - the crown prince's destiny has been accomplished, not that King Zhao's destiny has been accomplished.

Yelu Lu opened his mouth.

Could it be that Prince Zhao’s Mansion wants to learn from the previous dynasty’s Tiance Mansion?

Yelu Lu's heart trembled at this thought.

He wanted to ask, but seeing Yelu Chucai's silence, he swallowed his words again.

If the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity; if matters are not secretive, it will cause harm.

If this kind of thing is true and one more person knows about it, it will be very dangerous.

Since ancient times, those involved in this kind of "seizing of legitimate children" have always been extremely dangerous. If it is done, it will be the power of Conglong, and it will soar into the sky. But if it fails, both you and your family will be greatly implicated.

Yelu Lu has a stable character and has no big ambitions. If he had a choice, he would never let his family get involved in this kind of trouble. But looking at Saburo, it was obvious that he was deeply involved.

Eh……

"Sanlang, as a father, I don't care about your affairs."

"But as a father, I want to say one thing. If King Zhao really wants to go further, he needs to decide on the title of prince as soon as possible. The so-called name is legitimate."

courtyard.

The night is like water.

"Is the power of the heart really that powerful?"

Huang Yaoshi raised his glass to invite the bright moon and formed three people facing each other.

He recited what Wan Yankang said during the day—cultivation is to "subdue one's mind."

A few examples were also given.

For example, Confucianism's "the way of sincerity can be known in advance"; Buddhism's "knowledge of others' minds"; Taoism's "opening of the eyes of the sky" are actually spiritual practices.

This statement is a bit mysterious.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.

When practicing martial arts, martial artists are also required to keep their spirits in order to prevent internal energy from going awry, and in severe cases, they may even go crazy.

"However, this Wan Yankang is really not simple. He doesn't have any bad habits of being a dandy. The people gathered around him are all talented people..."

Huang Yaoshi recalled the people he had met in the past few days.

White Phoenix, Black Crow, Golden Wheel, Hongyu, Yelu Chucai, Lu Jinzhi...

This team is full of talented people with both civil and military skills.

When Huang Yaoshi first entered the city, he vaguely felt that the forces of the entire Zhongdu City seemed to be integrated, and they were all tightly or loosely connected with each other, and they were well organized.

Unlike the Lin'an Mansion in the Song Dynasty, where the Jianghu forces were mixed.

At first, Huang Yaoshi thought this was the Jin Dynasty's military deterrence, but now it seems that all these changes may have something to do with the Zhao Palace.

He shook his head and gave up his distracting thoughts.

"We have lost two games in a row, what should we compete in this third game?" (End of Chapter)
