Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

Fu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Ren, it's Ren, there's no need for so many messy explanations."

Feng Yao was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Fu Yuan gave an example: "It's like almonds and peach kernels. They are wrapped in a thick, hard shell, and inside is a kernel, a seed. As long as you cultivate it well, it will break out of the shell, take root, sprout, and grow new fruit."

Feng Yao understood and said, "So benevolence is the original heart, the original nature. The thick shell that wraps benevolence is the various evils and hypocrisies above human nature.

Only by breaking through falsehood and eliminating evil can one understand one's true heart, see one's true nature, and seek benevolence and obtain it... Ayuan, your understanding of Confucianism seems to have always been inclined towards Taoist practice?"

Fu Yuan said seriously, "Practice is practice. Why is there a difference between Taoism and Confucianism? Ultimately, the goal is the same. It's just that Taoism points directly to the original heart, to the benevolence beneath the thick shell. But how many people in this world can not be hindered by the thick shell?

Confucianism, on the other hand, focuses on the outer shell, studying how to break it open. Once the outer shell is broken, the inner benevolence will naturally be exposed."

Feng Yao gave a thumbs-up and said, "That makes sense! Break through the shell and see the heart, and you'll see the truth. So, Immortal Daying is able to discard prejudices, and he's truly a true man!"

Fu Yuan pondered and said, "Great success is like a lack, but its use is endless. Great fullness is like a void, but its use is infinite. The world regards success as not lacking, so success must have its drawbacks. It regards fullness as not being empty, so fullness must have its limits.

As the saying goes, "Reversal is the movement of the Tao." In the face of great success, one does not worry about its shortcomings; in the face of great abundance, one does not hate its impact. Therefore, success does not lead to failure, and abundance does not lead to insufficiency... The name "Daying Immortal" is not good. The immortal has already achieved perfection. If the name "Daying" is added... "

Feng Yao also sighed and said, "I'm afraid it will all be in vain in the end."

Fu Yuan shook his head and said, "Okay, let's talk about Li Muxuan."

Feng Yao sorted out his thoughts and said, "This has to start from Yinghe Tower..."

Yinghe Tower is considered a stronghold for extraordinary people today. People from various sects often gather here to communicate with each other.

Li Muxuan was in Yinghe Tower. Provoked by someone, he blew himself up on the spot, admitted that he was a disciple of Ghost Hand Wang Yaozu, and said in person that he had joined Quanxing, thus triggering a melee.

It was only after Wang Yaozu asked Feng Yao (Wu Gensheng) to step in and resolve the dispute that the dispute was barely resolved.

It was also in Yinghe Tower that Quanxing Ruan Tao and Wang Yaozu personally acknowledged Wu Gensheng's identity as the acting head of Quanxing.

After Feng Yao finished speaking, Fu Yuan sighed and said, "When the will is unified, the qi is agitated, and when the qi is unified, the will is agitated. Now, those who stumble and those who run are actually qi, which in turn agitates the heart.

A focused mind can stimulate qi, and a focused qi can also stimulate the mind. Just like running and jumping, both are the effects of qi, but they can in turn affect one's mind.

This Li Muxuan is not cultivating Qi, but being cultivated by Qi. He even got the master-servant relationship wrong. If you don't understand this, you will suffer in the future."

How can a person who is controlled by his temper and personality talk about spiritual practice?

Feng Yao nodded, paused, and said, "What do you think will happen if Li Muxuan continues to be taught by Immortal Daying?"

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "The harder the shell, the tastier the kernel inside. However, the harder the shell, the harder it is to break. If we can't grind away his stubborn temper, no one can teach him!"

Feng Yao thought for a moment and then asked, "If you were one, how would you teach?"

"No!" Fu Yuan shook his head and said decisively, "He is willing to abandon his true nature and cling to appearances. Rotten wood cannot be carved, and dung cannot be rubbed."

Feng Yao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Indeed."
