Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

Not only should you pay attention to your breathing, but you should also be aware of your body at all times and be highly focused, as this is where fatigue comes from.

"Fu Erxiao, let's go play in the river?" someone shouted.

Fu Yuan waved his hand and said casually: "No, I have to look after the house."

People are gone.

Fu Yuan rested for a while, stood up, picked up the stick, and started practicing again.

If one time doesn't work, try ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times...

During these seven days, as long as you don’t die from training, then train to death!

As for what to do if you can’t sense Qi within seven days? That will happen after seven days.

……

One day, two days, three days... until the seventh day.

Fu Yuan had almost practiced this set of movements into an instinct, and even maintained the breathing method in his daily breathing without interruption.

But he just couldn't sense the existence of Qi!

Or rather, his Qi has always been flowing in his body, but Fu Yuan just doesn't believe in the existence of Qi... Because he doesn't believe it in his heart, Qi doesn't exist, so he can't perceive it.

Even though he told himself again and again that Qi really existed and was flowing in his body, he just couldn't sense it.

The concepts formed by decades of reality in his previous life were simply not something he could get rid of.

On the evening of the seventh day, Fu Yuan stopped the wooden stick in his hand, knowing that this road was blocked and he had to find another way.

I was planning to go to Old Man Liu's house, but as soon as I took a step, I stopped.

Let’s not talk about whether Old Man Liu has other methods...why would he teach me?

Moreover, Old Man Liu also said that if one cannot even sense the Qi through this set of movements, then he really has no aptitude at all.

No matter how many means you use, if you can't perceive it, you can't perceive it.

Want to give up?

People must eventually learn to accept reality. Fu Yuan naturally understood this truth, but he was still unwilling to accept it in his heart.

This feeling of unwillingness was suppressed in his chest and rushed straight to his head, making him feel sore in his nose...

Is the feeling of unwillingness also Qi?

But I can only feel the emotion of unwillingness, and cannot sense the Qi!

"Second Junior..."

He heard his grandmother's cautious call beside him, afraid to disturb him: "Let's eat first?"

Interrogative sentences are both inquiries and requests!

Fu Yuan turned around with red eyes and saw his grandmother's face full of worry. Behind the door, his grandfather was sitting at the table, looking at him with the same worry.

During these seven days, Fu Yuan practiced like a madman and no one could persuade him to stop. The ones who were really worried were the old couple.

Facing the gazes of his grandparents, Fu Junyuan was at a loss:

What am I forcing?

If I can’t become an alien, can I still survive?

There are countless ways to live in this world, and being an alien is just one of them. Is it because of this crazy idea that I want to live my life again?

The resentment in my chest slowly dissipated.

Fu Yuan wiped his eyes, revealed a hearty smile, and said, "I'm here, grandma, what are you having for dinner?"

The worry on grandma's face gradually dissipated, and she smiled and said, "I'll give you some lard to eat with the noodles..."

Inside the house, Grandpa also shouted cheerfully: "Come and eat, the noodles are getting mushy..."

Chapter 4: Change the road

The seven-day period was up, and Fu Yuan was unable to sense the Qi, so he did not go to Old Man Liu's house again.

But two days later in the morning, Old Man Liu came to the door himself.

Fu Yuan was still alone at home, but he didn't practice the movements like crazy anymore. Instead, he sat at the door and read an old book.

He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even notice Old Man Liu approaching him.

Old Man Liu stood beside Fu Yuan and noticed his breathing. After a long while, he said with a tone full of regret: "After all... you still can't sense the Qi?"

Fu Yuan suddenly came back to his senses, put down the book, stood up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu is here, I'll move a stool for you, please sit down!"

Old man Liu originally planned to take a look and leave, but for some reason, he did not refuse.

After Fu Yuan brought a stool from the house and sat down, Old Man Liu sighed and said, "After all, I came to see you because I was unwilling to give up. In fact, if you didn't come to my place, I could have guessed the result."

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Grandpa Liu."

"It's not disappointment in you, but regret..." Old Man Liu shook his head and said regretfully, "You are a smart kid, precocious, resilient, and have excellent comprehension. Just a set of introductory exercises has allowed you to reach this level. When you walk, sit, or lie down, your Qi channels flow continuously... Some people can't reach your level even after practicing for a lifetime.

Why can't I sense Qi?"

Fu Yuan was surprised and said, "I just incorporated that breathing method into my daily life. It's not as mysterious as you said, Grandpa Liu, right?"

Old Man Liu said seriously: "It's not mysterious, you can't feel your own Qi, so you don't know that there is already a hint of sword charm in your Qi!

And judging from your current state of mind, it shows that you are not forcing things and your mentality is peaceful. With your character...why can't you get started?

It would be great if I could get in. My art would definitely flourish in your hands... I won't say more. The more I say, the more frustrated I feel!"

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. I can't sense it, but it's not without benefits. I can jump very high if I take a deep breath now.

Not only did I learn to "raise my spirit," I also learned to "sink my spirit." Grandpa Liu, look!

As he spoke, Fu Yuan squatted down and took a horse stance, standing firmly and giving people an unshakable feeling. Even his two little feet sank slightly into the mud.

Old Man Liu couldn't help but praise, "Good, good, the Qi sinks and takes root in the earth, great! But the better you do, the more unwilling I feel... Boy, Grandpa Liu will teach you another introductory technique, do you want to learn it?"

Fu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu, you also said that I don't have any talent at all. I can't sense it, and no matter how many entry methods I have, it will be useless."

Old Man Liu certainly understood this truth, and his face was full of regret: "I know, I just didn't want to give up, so I wanted to try again...Haha, you little kid knows how to stop at the right time and stop forcing it, so why should an old man like me still be unwilling to give up?

Forget it, it's better to give up. In the future, ordinary people will be safer than extraordinary people. Only ordinary people can live a stable life! "

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "Grandpa Liu, not forcing it doesn't mean giving up."

Old man Liu was stunned, his face full of confusion.

Fu Yuan placed the old book in front of him and said, "Look."

Old Man Liu glanced at it and said, "Mencius? This is not my kind of book. People like us used to be wandering around the world and joining gangs. We are not suitable for such a sage book."

Fu Yuan pointed to the page and said, "Look here! There's a sentence on it: 'May I ask what the Master is good at?' He replied, 'I know how to speak, and I'm good at cultivating my noble spirit.'"

Haoran Qi should also be a kind of Qi, right?"

Old Man Liu was stunned and said hesitantly, "Haoran Qi... should it be Qi?"

Fu Yuan asked curiously, "Why 'should'? Don't you know?"

Old Man Liu shook his head and said, "Our sect... or most of the extraordinary people, all talk about the 'Innate Qi'. All kinds of magical powers are changes that evolved from the Innate Qi.

This majestic aura... I've often heard people talk about it, but I've never seen it myself."

Fu Yuan changed the book and spread it out, saying, "Look, in Wen Tianxiang's 'Song of Righteousness', he said that he used his own righteous energy to fight against water, earth, sun, fire, foul air, rice, etc.

They have seven energies, and I have one. If I can defeat seven with one, what is there to worry about? Moreover, the righteous energy of heaven and earth is Haoran!

All things begin with primordial qi, and water vapor, earth vapor, foul air and the like all come from primordial qi. The "innate qi" you mentioned is also from primordial qi, and the great and righteous qi is naturally no exception.

From this perspective, this "righteousness" must be quite powerful."

Old Man Liu was a little confused: "So you want to cultivate this 'Haoran Zhengqi'? What's the method? Is it mentioned in the book?"

Fu Yuan shook his head and said, "What Mencius said is vague. He only said that it was born from "collection of righteousness", but the whole "Mencius" failed to explain clearly what "righteousness" is..."

"Then how do you practice?"

Fu Yuan put down the book and said, "But I have noticed one thing: righteousness is not something that can be cultivated, but nurtured."

Old man Liu blurted out: "How to raise it?"

"do not know."

Fu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "But Mencius belongs to Confucianism, and Confucianism teaches people how to behave in society. So I will strictly follow what the book says and see if I can cultivate this so-called 'righteous spirit'."

Old Man Liu couldn't help but sneer and said, "That's it? You don't have any special skills, just rely on some principles of dealing with people, and you think you can cultivate a righteous spirit? Are you daydreaming?"

Fu Yuan smiled softly and said, "Grandpa Liu, I won't force it. Even if I can't cultivate a righteous spirit in my lifetime, at least I have learned some principles. These principles will be enough to benefit me for the rest of my life. No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss."

Old Man Liu's expression turned serious. He said, "Are you planning to spend your whole life practicing the principles in the book? Even if the so-called righteousness is just your guess?"

"Yup!"

Fu Yuan smiled confidently and said, "And I believe in myself. As long as I practice, the righteousness in my heart will burst out sooner or later!

The day this breath of righteousness is exhaled, I will naturally be able to sense the Qi."

"You..." Old man Liu was speechless. He just stared at the child in front of him, deeply shocked.

What this six-year-old kid revealed at this moment was even more shocking than his own talent and understanding.

God is so unfair, why can't he be allowed to enter?

Fu Yuan responded calmly, his expression extremely confident.

Since it exists if you believe and does not exist if you don't believe, he firmly believes in the existence of the great righteousness and constantly cultivates it. As long as he keeps practicing the principles of how to behave in the world as written in the book, and lets the great righteousness grow in his chest, sooner or later it will be exhaled.

At the same time, this is also equivalent to him reshaping his own worldview.

Since his past life experiences prevented him from perceiving the existence of "Innate Qi", he should change direction and turn his past life experiences into nourishment for cultivating his righteous spirit!

Anyway, you have a second chance to live your life, and it’s up to you to decide how to live it!

I have already lived this life step by step: going to school, graduating, finding a job, making money to support my family, getting married and having children. No matter how much money I make in this life, it is just a repetition of the life in my previous life.

Very boring!

If I could live my life over again, I would rather change my lifestyle.
