Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 95 The Great Way is Like the Azure Sky

Han Yun waved his hand and accepted the fox fur and recipe. Eighty white jade coins and one red jade coin jingled as they fell into Jiu Yue's palm.

The little fox's eyes lit up instantly, and he cheered excitedly, clutching the money bag: "I'm rich!"

After September left, Han Yun also left the inner space.

The journey must continue. The more Han Yun delves into the world of Under One Person, the more he discovers its extraordinary nature.

Don't forget that the ancient world of Under One Person actually witnessed the war between the Chan and Jie sects, which consisted of three major sects: the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect.

Those who can be called Moral Celestial Venerable, Primordial Celestial Venerable, or Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable are definitely not simple, no matter which world they come from, even if the world's level is not powerful enough.

Its methods and lineage may be limited by the world level, but the vastness and profundity of its ideas cannot be denied.

Take, for example, the Mahayana Bodhicitta Sutra left by the Buddha Kongwang. If it were placed in a world like Journey to the West, would you dare say that he couldn't attain Buddhahood?
Three people, there must be my teacher Yan.

The world is the same; we should not dismiss it simply because it is weak. Its intellectual essence and profound wisdom are the culmination of the wisdom of our predecessors.

Han Yun never looked down on any of the various skills because they were not powerful enough. What he possessed was always a heart that tirelessly sought the Dao, and he was humble and modest.

There is no sequence in the Tao, and the master is the teacher.

After his trip to Mianshan, Han Yun set his sights on the Jade Emperor Temple.

On the way, Han Yun took out the book "Nourishing Qi and Rectifying the Mind" and began to read it. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a Confucian classic, but in Han Yun's eyes, it became a secret manual on how to cultivate righteous qi.

Humans are born with innate Qi, which is pure and unmixed. It is easily influenced by factors such as the surrounding environment, personal spirit and will, and cultivation methods, thus forming different characteristics.

Of course, most of it is still hidden by acquired turbidity and no longer possesses spiritual clarity.

The so-called cultivation of Qi is to cultivate a breath of righteous Qi, which originates from the heart. It begins with understanding principles and investigating things, recognizing what is righteous, and then upholding this heart.

This mind is the mind that understands the universe, and also the mind that seeks rules and regulations for a particular world.

The heart resides in the chest, like a fire, burning fiercely, ready to burst forth. It also gathers the primordial Qi in the chest, the location of the lower dantian. After being tempered by a righteous heart, the primordial Qi naturally becomes the vast and righteous Qi.

The vast and righteous energy is then emitted through the mouth, the pen, and so on, filling the heavens and the earth, and can naturally shake a region. This is how one mobilizes the energy of heaven and earth in a region with one's own spirit and will.

The vast and righteous energy can take form, becoming weapons or any other shape. It can then draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, such as wind, thunder, water, and fire, to create a physical entity.

This achieves a state of transformation between Qi, form, and body.

As if his words held the mandate of heaven, his pen strokes startled wind and rain, and his poems moved even ghosts and gods to tears.

According to the "Cultivating Qi and Rectifying the Mind" chapter, the six arts of a gentleman—rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics—each have different methods.

The rites include five categories: auspicious rites for sacrifices, inauspicious rites for funerals, military rites, diplomatic rites, and celebratory rites for daily life, each with its own unique application.

Auspicious rites connect with heaven and earth, bringing blessings and good fortune; inauspicious rites soothe the soul and calm the spirit; military rites boost morale and inspire the troops; diplomatic rites enhance one's demeanor, making one's words more convincing; celebratory rites attract birds and beasts, adding to the festive atmosphere, and so on.

In addition to the Six Arts of a Gentleman, the later Confucian school added seven other skills: qin (a stringed instrument), chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and tea. These were used for lofty discussions among literati and scholars, and also as means of warfare.

With a single utterance, half of the glorious Tang Dynasty was revealed.

This is certainly a true reflection of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
The words written by the scholar are as cold and sharp as iron leaves. When reading, one experiences various strange phenomena, which is a manifestation of a Confucian heart and literary courage.

Even figures like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong studied Confucianism.

Especially during the Three Kingdoms period, military strategists and other schools of thought flourished, while Confucianism, after being suppressed by other schools of thought and promoted as the sole state ideology during the Han Dynasty, also began to thrive. The spirit of military strategists and the intellectual essence of Confucianism complemented each other perfectly!

Crouching Dragon, Young Phoenix, Tomb Tiger, Young Unicorn, Tiger Fool, Fierce Tiger, Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong, Evil Lai...

Chaotic times are also great times for extraordinary people!

The Hundred Schools of Thought were magnificent, and one can only imagine how diverse and colorful the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were, not to mention the time of the Investiture of the Gods.

Then look at the most powerful person in the world of supernatural beings today, Zhang Zhiwei. The Celestial Master's Mansion he belongs to has only existed for more than two thousand years and was founded by Zhang Daoling!
Looking at those eight extraordinary skills, they are merely the legacy of Master Ziyang, Zhang Boduan. But how many years has Zhang Boduan lived since then?
Only a thousand years.

It has been about 4,100 years since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. Don't forget that the great land of China also had the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

As for the "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), although in Han Yun's previous world it was said that the book was written under a pseudonym, in the world of "Under One Person," it is possible that it was indeed written by the Yellow Emperor.

If the Yellow Emperor's era already had such a mature theory and understanding of the human body, then what about the cultivation of extraordinary individuals?

Is the world of Under One Person really that complicated?
It is naturally deep, even to the point of being unfathomable.

The further Han Yun walked on the road beneath his feet, the more he felt its profound history and extraordinary nature. He was not merely traversing a simple path, but rather walking through the five thousand years of Chinese civilization.

The wisdom of countless ancestors, whether adrift or mired in the mire, is like the Tao itself, hidden in excrement and urine.

Some might say that Han Yun is now invincible, but Han Yun doesn't think so. The further he goes, the more he realizes his own insignificance, and the more he should maintain a humble attitude.

When I see the ancient sages, it is like an ant seeing the bright moon.

To claim to be invincible is nothing but a laughingstock!

Han Yun has only inherited the legacy of a few families and accumulated some wealth. Coupled with the advantages of the interior space, he has more resources than ordinary people.

Han Yun has always had a clear understanding of his own position.

Han Yun slowly closed the book and put it into his backpack, which was actually returning it to his inner space.

He sighed, "The great road is like the clear sky; I walk it alone, solitary and carefree!"

He was simply a person seeking truth and enlightenment!
As for whether he could slap Zhang Zhiwei until he cried, who knows?

Perhaps I can give it a try if I have the chance.

-----

One day later, in Jianxing, at the Jade Emperor Temple.

The Jade Emperor Temple is famous for its statues of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Each statue has a different expression, some with angry and majestic eyes, others with kind and benevolent eyes, and their flowing robes seem to be surrounded by a fairy aura.

Han Yun stood in the hall, carefully observing the sculptures. He discovered that the skeletal structure of these statues was extremely exquisite, especially the hemp tendons and bones at the joints, which seemed to exude a faint spirituality, as if they were real people.

"Is this layperson interested in painted sculptures?"

A clear voice came from behind. Han Yun turned around and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest holding a whisk and standing there with a smile.

Han Yun cupped his hands and said, "My name is Han Yun. I have heard that the Twenty-Eight Constellation statues in the Jade Emperor Temple are a masterpiece of painted sculpture, so I have come to pay my respects."

"Han Yun..."

The middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly asked, "Is it the young master in person?"
