With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

35 The Way Forward
  Eunuch Chen walked in a hurry.

It was as if someone was chasing him from behind, and he looked anxious.

When he raised his head, he saw Li Zhen in front of Chuixiang Tower, looking at him in surprise.

After running a few steps quickly, he knelt down in front of Li Zhen.

The words are sad and the tears are shed:

"Taoist Priest, Taoist Priest Li!"

"Please consider what happened back then and save the manager."

Zhao Chang successfully won the battle for the throne.

Likewise, as an old minister of Qiandi who had been by his side when he was King of Huainan.

Manager Wang has also been promoted step by step.

It was easy to become the chief steward of the palace.

But maybe it was too easy to get.

Among countless compliments.

This person is easily distracted.

This is not.

Last night, there was a fire in the palace where the emperor stayed that night.

The panicked emperor fought to save his life.

In the autumn season, I jumped into the pond in the palace.

Although his life was safe, he was infected with the cold.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

It was eventually discovered that the cause of the fire was deliberately set on fire by a palace maid.

As for this palace maid, she entered the palace in the same way as the palace manager.

Although, Manager Wang is not the first-hand person in charge.

But after receiving the money, he couldn't escape the relationship.

He is now in jail and is waiting to be punished.

Li Zhen, who listened to the story silently, said nothing.

It only took some strength to pull Eunuch Chen up.

There was a fire in the palace last night, and he saw it.

It's just that I didn't expect it.

There are also these twists and turns here.

He had nothing to say about Manager Wang.

There are always consequences for what you do.

"Eunuch Chen, I may disappoint you."

Li Zhen said calmly:

"Although I have never done anything in the palace, I know that being with a king is like being with a tiger."

"Mr. Wang is in charge of what he does."

He shook his head, a little helpless:

"I'm confused!"

As an emperor, what do you value most about the people around you?
  loyalty!

Absolute loyalty.

Today you can do it for just a few cents.

Just arrange people by my side.

What about the future!

Is it true that as long as you have money, you can sell my head?
  So, once the seeds of doubt are planted.

It has already begun to take root and is irreversible.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen cast a sympathetic look at the helpless Eunuch Chen in front of him.

As close servants to people who serve in the palace like them.

It seems that in the end, no one can escape the fate of being jealous of the Lord.

And he stood completely on the sidelines, observing this matter silently.

Inexplicably, it seems that I have some new insights.

Just as the truth is vaguely revealed in Xiaoyaoyou.

In life, as long as you are used by others, you will lose your true freedom.

Want true transcendence.

Only standing in an unknown corner.

Be a spectator in the world.

But is this kind of carefreeness his own way?
  Maybe some.

But it seems incomplete.

Vaguely.

Li Zhen felt that he had some enlightenment.

The barrier between acquired nature and innate nature has gradually revealed its true appearance.

All he sent was a final touch.

Eunuch Chen left in despair.

In fact, he didn't have any hopes at first, it was just wishful thinking.

I hope Li Zhen can take this into consideration.

You can ask the eldest princess to come forward and say a word for Manager Wang.

But looking back and thinking about it, were things really sentimental?
  Even if there is.

That was also the debt Manager Wang owed to the late Eunuch Yu.

After Li Zhen walked out of the gate of Huainan Prince's Mansion.

That's it, it's already clear. However, Eunuch Chen did not gain nothing.

Li Zhen still gave him some suggestions.

For example, let Mr. Wang take the initiative to hand over the money he has made over the years.

Then he quietly handed the list of people with whom he had transactions to the emperor.

Finally, I asked to go home and retire.

Maybe the emperor would let him go for the sake of past friendship.

But is it really possible?
  Eunuch Chen has no expectations for this.

He clearly remembers what the manager has done in order to make money over the years.

I also gave a subtle reminder that something was wrong.

However, Manager Wang turned a deaf ear and continued to go his own way.

After a long time, he didn't want to talk anymore.

I had to cover him up as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, the incident happened after all.

"Ugh"

Sighed deeply.

Eunuch Chen looked back and saw the tall Chuixiang Tower standing on Xianming Mountain.

He hurried to the prison where Mr. Wang was imprisoned and made one last attempt.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's order was not the destiny!
  Some time passed.

Li Zhen didn't take it to heart that Eunuch Chen came to his door.

He has been thinking about his future in martial arts recently.

That is, simply asking for a break?
  Perhaps it's more than that, and there are greater ambitions.

I have so many thoughts that I can't understand them all for a while.

So he left the chores in the Chuixiang Tower to the more steady nature.

I chose to retreat.

It is different from the past when I concentrated on studying and studying martial arts.

This time, it was just about sorting out my thoughts.

He hid in a secret attic on the roof of the building.

Open the skylight and watch the sun, moon and stars.

Close your eyes, meditate, and explore the way forward.

At this time, there was a key question in front of Li Zhen.

What is innate?

In Taoist scriptures, these two characters are often not displayed separately.

Instead, it appears in the form of innate energy.

And in medical books, it says:

It is born before the body, which is called innate. Innate Qi is in the kidneys and is endowed by parents.

So, can it be understood in this way?

The so-called martial arts practice is a process from acquired to innate.

It is to constantly pursue and exist at the time of innate birth.

But as he grows up, his "innate energy" is gradually hidden.

The essence of the martial arts will mentioned by Zhao Shenyue is a person's spiritual power.

It is used to amplify the "innate energy" hidden in the human body.

Then, find it out.

In the future, the innocent energy and charm will be cultivated to achieve the purpose of returning the acquired nature to the innate state.

As his thoughts became clear, the next question came.

How to do this?

Li Zhen’s answer is:

To the extreme of emptiness, to keep quiet.

Face your heart and ask yourself what you really want.

Is it Xiaoyao?
  Yes, but not completely.

It is the freedom of having power.

It is also freedom that is not shackled by the flaws of the human body itself.

It is eternal life and long-term vision, and it is also the Tao!
  Now that the way forward is clear, Li Zhen's whole person also suddenly becomes enlightened.

[You sit and observe your body, with a clear mind, you clearly understand the true meaning of your own martial arts: the way of yin and yang]

The magical power suddenly appears, and the spiritual light dances.

With the last bit of doubt cleared up.

The door of innateness has been completely opened to Li Zhen.

Invisible energy surged out of his body, stirring up the breeze.

Gradually it condensed into the shape of Yin Yang Tai Chi, suspended above the head.

A mighty and peaceful energy rippled out.

Naturally, who was sorting out the books in the Chuixiang Building, suddenly paused and raised his head in confusion.

On Tiandu Peak, the melodious music of the piano stopped, and a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Shenyue's calm eyes.

In a Beijing wine shop, the bald man who was serving a drink paused and looked at Xianming Mountain thoughtfully.

Some people know it, and some people are still confused.

But this does not hinder.

In the seventh year of Tianbao's reign, another martial arts prodigy was born in the capital.
