From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Being fond of teaching others is simply a matter of showing off and boasting.

However, during the ordeal in Yuhua Kingdom, although Sun Wukong did show off his martial arts skills, that was just his personality. Throughout his journey westward, when had he not shown off his skills?

But it was precisely at this point that he took in his apprentice.

Why?

It was only because he wanted to be a teacher.

That is, to truly share one's knowledge with others and provide them with practical and positive help.

Since they had arrived in India and were about to achieve their goal, Sun Wukong believed that monks should have more disciples. Furthermore, when he taught the princes martial arts, he truly imparted divine power and martial arts skills, which would be of practical help to the three princes in protecting their homeland. Moreover, before formally accepting them as disciples, he knelt down and performed the disciple's ceremony, genuinely seeking their permission.

Helping others naturally comes with the consequences, which is what Guangmu Tianwang meant when he said, "Because of wanting to be a teacher, one can attract a den of lions."

Sun Wukong himself knew this would happen, so when Guangmu Tianwang said this to him, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "That's exactly it! That's exactly it!"

On his journey westward, how many times did the traveler laugh when he went to heaven for help?

It's clear that he didn't take the matter of provoking a den of lions seriously at all!

The journey westward was fraught with hardship; wasn't it always like this?

However, during the previous calamities, he was only responsible for eliminating the monsters and did not intend to pass on his skills. But after arriving in Yuhua Kingdom, he began to move in the direction of "giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish".

The same applies to rivers.

I aspire to be a teacher.

This is both to express gratitude for the generosity of the extraordinary people in the cultural street and to repay them, as well as to share my own philosophy of spiritual practice and provide everyone with truly useful help in reality.

As for whether it will attract a pack of "lions"?

If there really are "lions," it would be better to provoke them than to keep them hidden!

Coming into the open—

That's perfect!

In today's world, unlike the 21st century, we are not afraid of having "lions," but we are afraid of not having "lions" at all!

If any more "Nine-Headed Lion" dares to show their face later, Jiang Liu has no Tang Sanzang to protect him. The people in the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe are of one mind with him, and there is no Taiyi Salvation Heavenly Venerable in this world who can save the life of that "Nine-Headed Lion"!

Having learned the methods from each household in Cultural Street, Jiang Liu spent his days, besides cultivating and working, using the power of his mind, will, metal spirit, wood spirit, yellow spirit, heaven, and earth spirit to study them together. In just half a month, he had created a completely new cultivation method.

This method uses fist techniques as a foundation, breathing as the source, and human magnetism as the basis. It combines the postures and stances of Tai Chi, Bajiquan, and the Sun and Moon Refining Form, and also incorporates the breathing method of Hunyuan Yiqi Method. It consists of sixteen sets of movements, involving the entire body's bones, joints, and meridian circulation. When combined with specific breathing, it can slightly vibrate the eight extraordinary meridians. Even those without Qi cultivation aptitude can instinctively and spontaneously activate the Qi within their bodies during the stretching, thus ensuring good health!

Furthermore, because this method incorporates some of the movements for refining one's form with the sun and moon, although it cannot absorb the essence of the sun and moon, it can still slowly improve one's aptitude.

A child without any aptitude for Qi cultivation began practicing at the age of six, doing so every day without fail.

According to Jiang Liu's simulation and calculations within his mental landscape, by around the age of twenty, his aptitude would be no different from that of ordinary people with Qi cultivation aptitude.

Is twenty years old late compared to other extraordinary individuals?

As long as you don't compare yourself to exceptionally gifted individuals (such as Jiang Liu, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin), it's not too late. For most people with supernatural abilities, strength doesn't depend on the level of their skill, but on the efficiency of their skill utilization and the flexibility of their abilities.

Just like Zhang Chulan in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he had already obtained Feng Baobao's "Old Farmer's Skill," but in terms of life cultivation among the younger generation, frankly speaking, it can be summed up in two words:

Bottom!

However, by skillfully applying the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic, he was able to fight against Zhang Lingyu in a short time, and even defeat him.

The only problem is that his cultivation level is not high enough, and his endurance is not as good as Zhang Lingyu's.

# Chapter 411 The Desire to Build an Academy

"Brother Jiang, can everyone really cultivate this technique?" Lu Jin observed the new technique created by Jiang Liu immediately and found that it was indeed unique.

By combining basic movements of the boxing style with a special breathing method, the eight extraordinary meridians are activated, allowing the Qi to circulate. This, in turn, helps to regulate the internal organs, spirit, and brain, promoting physical development and strengthening the body.

but.

Those who are not exceptionally gifted cannot use this ability to control human magnetism. At most, they can only use it to stabilize the eight extraordinary meridians and regulate the five internal organs, thereby making their vital energy abundant and strengthening their life cultivation.

"Everyone has a magnetic field, and this method is essentially based on that magnetic field. However, it cannot enable practitioners to truly control their magnetic field; they can only instinctively regulate it to adjust their body and mind and strengthen their internal organs. It can be considered a versatile foundation-building method."

Jiang Liu commented on this newly created technique, "Of course, if there are talented individuals, such as Zhang Zhiwei, they can also hone an extremely powerful life cultivation with just this technique, reaching the realm of breaking through all laws with one force, without needing those fancy superpowers."

Of course, that only applies to advantages in combat strength.

In life and work, if one only possesses formidable physical strength but has no one to support him and is not skilled in business, he can only engage in heavy manual labor.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin laughed and said, "If someone truly possessed talent like Brother Jiang or Zhang Zhiwei, I reckon any sect would worship them."

"That's true."

Jiang Liu nodded, and then, relying on that spark of sincerity, he contacted the members of the Confucian Association and told them about his new method.

When the Confucian scholars arrived, they were all astonished to see that Jiang Liu had actually created a new method, and in such a short time.

Peng Qizi took it, examined it once, and couldn't help but raise his hand to demonstrate, exclaiming in surprise: "It involves all the bones and joints of the human body, and when combined with the rhythm of breathing, it vibrates the blood and qi, regulates the five internal organs, and mobilizes the body's innate qi, constructing a magnetic field around the eight extraordinary meridians to strengthen the physique—"

Although this method is of little use to cultivators like us who have already developed supernatural abilities, it is a method that can change one's destiny for those who are laying the foundation or even ordinary people!

Even if a person has poor aptitude, if they spend some time exercising every day and persist for more than twenty years, their aptitude can still rival that of ordinary extraordinary people.

Incredible!

no doubt.

This is a technique that has the potential to turn everyone in the world into extraordinary individuals, but it's not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires perseverance.

In other words, even if this method can transform ordinary people into those with the aptitude for Qi cultivation, those who truly wish to become extraordinary individuals must still train step by step.

In this process, one can naturally temper one's character.

If one cannot persevere, or gives up halfway, the effect of this method can be summed up in four words:

Improve your health!

Jiang Liu understood that transforming all the people of Shenzhou into extraordinary individuals was not something that could be accomplished overnight, nor could it be done in one fell swoop; it was a gradual and subtle process, like the story of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains.

"So, should we promote this method in a short period of time?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Do not."

Jiang Liu shook his head. "Personally, if we discover something good or make new research findings, we should naturally use it internally first."

This is the key to our control over the discourse.

I am willing to believe that human nature is inherently good, but I will not ignore the baseness of human nature.

and so.

This law is to be first enjoyed by members of the Confucian Association, residents of Cultural Street, and children from the welfare home.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At the beginning of life—

Is human nature inherently good?

Or is human nature inherently evil?

They didn't care, but they all understood that good and evil coexist in people's hearts, and it was impossible to publish the results of their research all at once.

"As for you, this foundation-building method that I created by combining the commonalities of various schools of thought does theoretically have the effects I mentioned, but it has not been verified in practice."

From this perspective, we need to experiment and try it ourselves first to confirm that this method is truly effective.

"My Tai Chi disciples are willing to be the first to try it."

As a Tai Chi master, even without practicing it, Peng Qizi was 100% certain that this method could definitely improve one's aptitude, so he took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Within the Confucian Association, the other extraordinary individuals also had some understanding of cultivation and expressed their willingness to let their children cultivate.

No one wants their child to be mediocre.

The ordinary members of the Confucian Society are the same; they do not expect their children to become extraordinary beings and control supernatural abilities, but they would also be unwilling to see their descendants healthy and strong.

This method has such effects, and it is not difficult to cultivate. You only need to spend some time practicing at sunrise every morning. It does not require as much effort as ordinary Qi cultivation. You can strengthen your body and regulate your internal organs. Why not do it?

"If that's the case, then it's settled."

Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Next, let's discuss the establishment of the academy."

"Academy?"

Bonaide asked in surprise, "An academy that teaches people how to cultivate Qi?"

"It's not just about teaching spiritual practice, but also subjects like Chinese, mathematics, history, and even foreign languages."

Jiang Liu added, "Chinese language, that is, the classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, must be understood before one can be called a 'great man'."

What is an adult?

aldult?

Or is he an official?

Both.

However, the "adult" that Jiang Liu mentioned is different from the two mentioned above. It is an adult based on the concept of "harmony between man and nature"!

To understand the Way of Heaven is to not let one's perceptions and experiences shackle one's mind; one's mind should be as vast as Heaven.

In ancient times, there was a word that could summarize the "great man" in the concept of "harmony between man and nature"—the shaman.

The word “巫”.

The top horizontal line represents the sky, the bottom horizontal line represents the earth, and the middle line represents people, illustrating a group of upright and indomitable people.

However, with the passage of time, cultural development, and changes in traditions, the meaning of the word "witch" has also changed, and it has been given many mysterious connotations.

of course.

This is also somewhat related to the fact that those "great men" in ancient times were essentially extraordinary people.

But it doesn't matter.

In this new era, Jiang Liu can also give the word "adult" a completely new meaning!

The members of the Confucian Society all understood the meaning of "great man" as Jiang Liu said, and they also agreed with this principle. Besides, who among them did not hope that their descendants could take on responsibilities?
