The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1062: Gentleman's Oneness [Please subscribe*Please vote for the monthly ticket]

"She was born close to the Tao, and your uncle and his men have established the foundation of her Tao heart. Her starting point is already the end point that countless warriors dream of."

"If immortals really exist in this world, she would be the person most likely to become an immortal in the past thousands of years."

Jing Ke was also a little envious. With Xiao Yun'e's family background, it was unlikely for her to go astray. There were too many masters and powerful people who had laid a solid foundation for her and it was impossible for her to go astray.

Therefore, if we were to say who has the greatest chance of becoming an immortal over the past thousands of years, it would be Xiao Yun'e.

"Then doesn't that mean she is born invincible?" Jing Tianming never expected that there would be such a ruthless person among people of the same age.

If he remembered correctly, one must have cultivated Mohist martial arts to the tenth level and loved the world before being qualified to be called a grandmaster.

Since Mozi, no one in the Mohist school has relied on Mozi's mental method to cultivate to the tenth level.

Even as the Six-Fingered Black Knight, Jing Ke followed the path of swordsmanship rather than the pure path of Mohism.

"Although it is very unfair, this is the reality." Jing Ke said helplessly.

"Don't compare yourself to her. A natural master may not be able to reach the pinnacle. Man can conquer nature, and latecomers may be able to surpass him."

"A warrior must have a fearless heart."

"High talent is her advantage, but it can also be her constraint. She has the best talent and the strongest backing in the world, but this also means she will lack a lot of training."

"Your uncle and his men protected her too well, so she lacked experience. This is where you can surpass him."

Jing Ke was also afraid that Jing Tianming's fearlessness as a warrior would be shattered by Xiao Yun'e's talent.

This talent is so terrifying that even the elders like them are afraid, let alone the young Jing Tianming.

"It is your sorrow to be born in the same era as her, but it is also your luck."

"Father, if I become Master Yan Lu's apprentice, will I have a chance to surpass her?" Jing Tianming asked doubtfully.

Jing Ke hesitated for a moment. Surpassing Xiao Yun'e, not to mention Jing Tianming, even Yan Yan might not dare to say so.

But if the truth is told, Jing Tianming's faith will probably be broken.

"If you can walk out of the Mohist path, perhaps you can catch up, but the Mohist path is too difficult and it is difficult to start. The only way is to walk the Mohist path again." Jing Ke thought about it.

It is simple to love the world, but also difficult. Both he and the Six-Fingered Black Knight have reached a bottleneck, but they have both embarked on the path of swordsmanship.

If you want to walk out of Mozi's path, you have to walk Mozi's path again.

First start with Confucianism, then create Mohism!
Learn by analogy and use the Confucian path to strengthen the hearts of Mohists.

The most suitable Confucianist is Yan Lu's establishment of the Tao for Jing Tianming.

Fu Nian's inner sageliness and outer kingliness is the way of majesty, and does not belong to the path of pure Confucianism.

Xunzi's Haoran was too grand and profound, and Jing Tianming could not match him.

Only Yan Lu's method of sitting and forgetting is most suitable for laying the foundation for Jing Tianming.

A gentleman does not argue, and a Mohist is fearless.

The two seem to be in conflict, but they are in line with Confucianism: the poor should take care of themselves, while the rich should help the world.

It also closed the Mohist chivalrous way. The chivalrous word is a homophone, and the extended meaning is to sacrifice oneself for others, not to love oneself, and not to turn back even if one dies. "If you can learn from Master Yan Lu, you will have a chance to surpass her. Otherwise, if there is no greater opportunity than her in this life, it will be difficult for you to catch up with her."

Jing Tianming listened to his father's words and looked at Xiao Yun'e's receding back. With his young mind, how could he tolerate being suppressed by a girl of the same age for the rest of his life?
If there is no hope, then it would be fine, but since he has the opportunity and hope, then it is worth a try.

"I'm going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to become a disciple of Master Yan Lu!" Jing Tianming said firmly.

"Good, you have great ambitions, and you are worthy of being my son." Jing Ke nodded with satisfaction, "However, if you are not in a spur of the moment, it will not be so easy to become Master Yan Lu's apprentice. First of all, reading and learning to read are your compulsory courses."

After listening to Jing Ke's words, Jing Tianming suddenly became dispirited.

Learning martial arts is fine, but asking him to bury himself in scriptures is somewhat difficult for this active boy.

Young people prefer activity to quietness, and not everyone can like this and love classics.

"Are you scared now?" Jing Ke smiled. "The book 'Shuowen Jiezi' written by your uncle is actually quite interesting. It explains the meaning of characters from the six methods of creating characters. It's like listening to a story. It's quite interesting."

"Even though I used to fall asleep as soon as I read the text, I can now read it with great interest."

"And your uncle said that there are 10516 characters in Shuowen Jiezi. Not everyone needs to understand and learn all of them. As long as you can comprehend even one of them and apply it throughout your life, you can become a great scholar."

"The simplest thing is one, the hardest thing is also one, so a gentleman sticks to one!"

"Although I don't understand what it means to be a gentleman and stick to one principle, but your uncle said that he has been pursuing this principle throughout his life!"

"One?" Jing Tianming was puzzled. Anyone who was Chinese, or even not Chinese, could recognize this word. Why was it the path that Yan Yan followed?

"Don't ask me. I don't know either. Not to mention that I don't know, I'm afraid that only the great Confucian scholars in the whole world, or even only Master Xun, Master Fu Nian and Master Yan Lu can understand it." Jing Ke shook his head. He really didn't know.

That’s what Yan Yan told him anyway.

Even with just the two words 'holding on to one', he couldn't understand whether it was about practicing on one or being attached to one. He couldn't understand it.

It’s like a Taoist seeks truth, but what is the truth?
Perhaps only they themselves can understand it.

Jing Tianming's little head was also confused by Jing Ke.

As a result, Jing Ke told him that he himself didn't know what it meant, so how could he play it?

"In fact, your uncle's talent is actually better than Xiao Yun'e's, but your uncle was dragged down by Bingzhou. Otherwise, no one can imagine what realm he would be at now if he focused on martial arts."

"But even though he is entangled in worldly affairs, your uncle is still the number one among our generation."

Jing Ke sighed. Jing Tianming was under a lot of pressure. In fact, people of the same era as Yan Yan were under even greater pressure.

How many people have the ability to have sudden enlightenment at any time and anywhere?
What's more, Yan Yan has cultivated both internal and external strengths, and his horizontal training and internal strength are both top-notch in the world.

Although his Henglian is not as good as Dianqing, and his Haoran is slightly inferior to Master Xun, he is the only one in the world who has both.

And this is based on the fact that Yan Yan is entangled in worldly trivialities.

What really makes people despair is not that you cannot catch up with the other person no matter how hard you try, but that the other person stops and starts, and when you finally touch the corner of his clothes, he disappears in a flash.

It makes you see hope, but also makes you despair.

Therefore, in their generation, they no longer regard Yan Yan as a peer, so as to avoid having their own spiritual faith shattered.
