Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

Fu Yuan thought for a moment and said truthfully, "He arbitrarily decided the fate of two people. Today it's two people, tomorrow it could be two hundred, two thousand, twenty thousand people... There are some things that cannot be done!"

"Trouble!" Wang Ye leaned back lazily, supported himself with his hands, and looked at the sky.

Fu Yuan was not in a hurry. He just sat there and waited slowly.

After a long while, Wang Ye finally spoke and said, "How do you practice the laws of heaven and earth?"

Fu Yuan smiled, knowing that Wang Ye had agreed, and said, "Using one's own Qi to set up the Qimen Bureau will always have its limitations. The world is so vast that even my Haoran Qi cannot fill it. What's more, your Xiantian Qi, even if you try your best to expand the Qimen Bureau, how much can it expand?

In this case, it is better to look inward!"

Wang Ye was stunned and sat up straight. "Inward? The essence of Qimen layout is to use one's own Qi to control the changes in the world within the situation. What does "inward" mean? To control the changes within oneself?"

Fu Yuan shook his head and said, "You always want to control the changes in the world. Aren't you putting yourself too high? Why not transform control into equal coexistence?"

Wang Ye was thoughtful: "The unity of heaven and man?"

Fu Yuan stood up and said, "Zhuangzi said: All things are born with me, and heaven and earth are one with me! Confucianism also said: If you want to achieve great success in the world, you must first cultivate your inner heart so that it is not affected by the environment and is not born from things. Only then can you achieve the unity of heaven and man, and reach the highest state.

That's the truth, the rest is up to you to figure out!"

Then he raised his hands and said to the referee: "I give up!"

Wang Ye was anxious: "Alas, you..."

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "You need a duel between sorcerers. Think carefully and comprehend it carefully!"

"The winner is the king!"

Wang Ye also slowly got up and walked out of the arena, saying, "What's the big deal? In comparison, Zhang Chulan's matter is insignificant."

This game, which started off well but ended badly, ended just like that.

For those who were just watching the game, there was really nothing interesting to watch, so there were a lot of people making noise at the scene.

But laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door.

Whether it was Wang Ye who remained in the same position and skillfully used two spells, or Fu Yuan who spoke the law of heaven and made decisions with a single word, the profound things revealed in them were enough to shock people.

So there were many people at the scene who were silent and thinking.

However, not many people heard the conversation between the two, and even fewer could ponder its meaning.

……

The Eight Wonders, in the eyes of others, are just eight powerful skills, but in Fu Yuan's view, it is a complete set of rituals.

How many steps are needed to put an elephant into a refrigerator?

The first step is to find the elephant. "Daluo Cave View" seems to have been lost, but Du Xiaozhai is still there.

The second step is to have a refrigerator. Isn’t that what the “Shen Ji Bai Lian” is used for?

The third step is that if the refrigerator is empty, "Qi Body Origin" and "Six Treasury Immortal Thieves" can clear out the refrigerator no matter how full it is.

The fourth step is to drive away the elephant. It is definitely not possible to pull it hard. You need to communicate first. You must use the "Tongtian Lu" and then use the "Fenghou Qimen" to guide it.

Step 5: Close the refrigerator door. What if the elephant is too big?

The final step: what to do if the elephant struggles? Summon the spirit and send the general!

Done, perfect!

Chapter 73: Binding the Spirits

When Fu Yuan arrived at another stadium, the game had already begun.

Feng Xingtong is against Deng Youfu, and Ju Lingqianjiang is against Chu Maxian.

The two sides started fighting with fists and kicks from the beginning, but it was obvious that Feng Xingtong was at a disadvantage for the time being.

Fu Yuan smiled, found a place to sit down, and admired quietly, but his eyes were mainly focused on Feng Xingtong.

Extraordinary people use Qi to bless themselves, exerting strength, speed and reaction far beyond that of ordinary people, but Feng Xingtong is not like that.

The Qi that was blessing him was not his own, but the Qi of spirits. There were several spirits wrapped around him, providing him with blessings. Although they cooperated with each other, it was not his own Qi after all, and he could not control it as easily as he could with his own arms.

But this is only temporary. After all, Feng Xingtong still lacks experience. As long as he continues, accumulates experience, and cooperates with each other more tacitly, victory is inevitable.

After all, Deng Youfu just borrowed some Qi.

The martial arts of boxing and kicking are just the basic skills of cultivating both body and soul.

Deng Youfu also realized this. After forcing Feng Xingtong back with a punch, he took a deep breath, his expression pious, his tone respectful, and shouted: "I am Youfu, the third-generation disciple of the Deng family. Please come to see Master Liu!"

There was no shaking head like in the original novel, nor any cold and evil aura, only a golden light descending from the sky, enveloping Deng Youfu.

The golden light dissipated, and Deng Youfu remained unchanged. However, behind him, a huge python was circling, swallowing and spitting out its tongue, its body seeming illusory and erratic.

A faint sense of majesty spread throughout the venue.

Many people in the stands suddenly stood up and looked at the field with uncertain expressions.

"This isn't asking for a spirit to possess you..."

"It's not about going out..."

"..."

Fu Yuan supported his chin with interest and looked at Feng Xingtong to see how he would respond.

Xiang Er's Commentary says: "All possessions are just common false tricks in the world, not the true way!"

The Jade Code of the Supreme Altar of Heaven states: "All the supreme celestial beings and gods will not possess the bodies of living people. If they possess the bodies of people, they are definitely evil demons and heretics, or evil spirits."

It also says, "Some claim that the Supreme Being has descended and possessed a living being... Then, five great demons from the heavenly and external sects invade the altar."

A righteous god will never possess a human body!

Some low-level ghosts or elves have acquired supernatural powers because they have attached themselves to statues of gods for a long time and accepted incense and worship.

As mentioned before, there are laws between heaven and earth, and naturally humans also have laws. Incense and vows are one of the laws of humans. Accepting the incense and vows of humans is accepting the laws of humans.

People learn from heaven and earth, so when they reach a certain level, they can follow the laws of heaven and earth.

Ghosts and spirits imitate humans, and naturally, they can also use human bodies and practice human laws, but they are not authentic gods after all, so they also have life and death, and have the troubles of greed, anger, ignorance and stupidity, and they also need to absorb the blessings of the people who worship them.

To orthodox Taoism, these are "evil and unorthodox teachings", and to Confucianism, these are "various heresies"!

On the field, although Feng Xingtong realized that something was wrong, he never thought that Deng Youfu would actually invite a real god - the one who came was naturally not Liu Kunsheng's real body, but a clone.

Liu Kunsheng is now the god of Yanji Mountain, and Yanji Col is his real body, so he naturally cannot leave.

After seeing the giant snake behind Deng Youfu, Feng Xingtong thought it was just a special spirit. As long as it was a spirit, it could not escape his family's spirit-binding and general-dispatching methods.

Therefore, Feng Xingtong's eyes were filled with silver-white light, and he used a special way of "observation" to find the weakness of Liu Kunsheng as a "spirit".

Fu Yuan stared at him without blinking.

Are spirits actually spirits? Can they be detained?

Not only Fu Yuan wanted to know this question, but Deng Youfu and Liu Kunsheng also wanted to know it, so they did not launch an attack, but stood there and waited.

Anyway, it's just a distraction, so even if he is taken away, it won't be a big deal.

The scene was silent.

Time passes minute by minute...

Gradually, cold sweat appeared on Feng Xingtong's temples... He couldn't find the weakness of this "spirit"!

Fu Yuan frowned, a little disappointed: This shouldn’t be the case. As one of the Eight Miracles, it shouldn’t be this bad, right?

Finally, Feng Xingtong didn't know what he did, but suddenly opened his hands and shouted, "Come!"

Liu Kunsheng's illusory body floated for a moment.

Fu Yuan's eyes lit up: Detained?

"Come quickly!" Feng Xingtong's eyes lit up and he shouted again.

This time, Liu Kunsheng's body inexplicably generated a pulling force, and his originally illusory body began to converge towards Feng Xingtong...

Seeing that Liu Kunsheng was about to be taken away, Deng Youfu suddenly let go of his hand, and the spirit behind him turned into a golden light that shot up into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Feng Xingtong was stunned and looked confused.

Deng Youfu raised his hand, his expression hard to tell whether he was happy or sad, and said, "I give up!"

Originally, the immortals that were invited to possess the body could be taken away by just snapping their fingers in front of the Soul-Snatching General. However, Liu Kunsheng had become a god and had a certain resistance to the Soul-Snatching General. Even if he was taken away, it would only be a distraction, which made Deng Youfu happy.

But the sad thing is that even if we invite the righteous gods, they are still no match for the spirits and generals!

Fu Yuan in the stands also smiled, stood up and slowly left the stands.

……

At the entrance of the stadium, Feng Xingtong walked out with a pensive look on his face. When he saw Fu Yuan leaning against the wall, he was stunned for a moment and said a little stiffly: "Fu Yuan? Shouldn't your competition be held in another venue?"

Fu Yuan stood up straight and said with a smile: "The game is over, I lost, and I came to talk to you."

Feng Xingtong's eyes widened immediately. "You lost? Your opponent...that Wudang Wang Ye, even lost to you?"

Fu Yuan tilted his head to signal him to go along, saying, "Do you know what Deng Youfu invited?"

Feng Xingtong thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely not an ordinary spirit. I've never trapped such a difficult spirit before!"

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "That's a god."

Feng Xingtong uttered an "Oh" before stopping and blurting out in disbelief, "God?"

Fu Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Heaven and earth have laws, and humans also have laws. The power of incense and vows is a human law, and being ordained is also a human law... Then have you ever thought about why humans have laws?"

Feng Xingtong swallowed and laughed dryly, "How would I understand that... But, is that really a god?"

"Yeah, I blocked it."

Fu Yuan said this casually. Seeing Feng Xingtong standing there in a daze, he simply put his arm around his shoulder and continued walking, saying, "You can't calm your mind and body over such a small matter. If you encounter other things in the future, you will just be shocked, scared, panicked... and so on, and then you won't be able to do anything!

When you were learning this art of summoning spirits and sending generals, didn't you learn to "hold the spirit in stillness"?

Feng Xingtong exhaled heavily, smiled bitterly, and said, "How can I not be surprised by something like this? But Fu Yuan, how did you know that summoning spirits and sending generals requires a state of tranquility?"

Fu Yuan wrote lightly, "Zhuangzi said: 'See nothing, hear nothing, embrace the spirit in stillness, and the body will naturally straighten itself. Be still and clear, do not tire your body, do not shake your spirit, and you will achieve eternal life. With eyes seeing nothing, ears hearing nothing, and the heart knowing nothing, your spirit will guard your body, and your body will achieve eternal life.

As the saying goes, if you master one principle, you master all principles. Cultivating the innate Qi is always within the realm of Taoism. Moreover... your family's spirit-binding and general-dispatching methods are primarily based on "spirit," supplemented by "intention," right?
