Confucian Cultivator Under One Person

"Just get an electric car."

Fu Yuan leaned back with his eyes closed. It was really worry-free to have someone helping him take care of the chores!

Chapter 82 Biyou Village

A person's heart is like the sea, and thoughts are like waves, never stopping for a moment, and no one knows where they will be carried to...

This is what is called "a restless mind".

Each school of practice has its own tricks for dealing with a restless mind, which are nothing more than "emptiness, forgetfulness, and concentration".

But there is another method, which is "visualization": imagining an object is to transform the invisible thoughts into a tangible object, and then gather them together.

In a sense, refining equipment also belongs to this category.

While using Qi to nourish the magical instrument, you are also visualizing the magical instrument, which will make the magical instrument spiritual and have special abilities!

A dead object cannot sense human malice, but if a dead object has a spirit, it can sense it.

The spirit of animals is bestowed by the God of Heaven and Earth (or Tao), while the spirit of humans is bestowed by the primordial spirit... The same is true for the spirit of magical instruments!

……

Biyou Village is in the mountains... It seems that when talking about spiritual practice, we always have to go back to the mountains.

With the address, Fu Yuan easily found the location of Biyou Village, but was stopped on the way into the village.

"The front is private property, no one else is allowed to enter!"

Looking at the two people who jumped out, Fu Yuan's mind conjured up another scene: This road is my own, this tree is my own, if you want to pass through here, you have to leave money to buy your way through...

Unable to help but laugh, Fu Yuan rode on the electric scooter and said, "I'm an alien, can I come in?"

"Are you an alien?" The two men exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Then show us your skills!"

Fu Yuan looked at the two of them, nodded, and said, "Chaos God!"

The sound was not loud, but it had a kind of shocking feeling. It entered the ears, from low to high, and finally it was like thunder in the brain, which made the brains of the two people go blank.

Then his eyelids fluttered and he fell to the ground.

Fu Yuan propped up the electric scooter, walked forward, squatted down to examine carefully, and finally took out a magic weapon from each of them.

This was the first time Fu Yuan saw a magic weapon. Just by playing with it in his hands for a while, he understood the mystery behind it.

Among the five internal organs of the human body, the heart belongs to fire, and people's thoughts originate from the heart, so the fire needed for refining tools is actually the fire of the heart. The principle is to use pure thoughts to refine external objects into "magic tools" that are integrated with one's body and mind!

Of course, we can also say it another way: people's thoughts, emotions, etc. are all generated by the primordial spirit. These things emitted by the primordial spirit are rectified to form a "spirit", which is given to external objects, making them spiritual and having supernatural powers.

Anyway, they are different ways of saying the same thing.

After throwing the magic weapon back to the two of them, Fu Yuan looked at them carefully again, then stood up and continued on his electric scooter.

……

A person's senses are divided into internal senses and external senses.

The external senses are commonly used by people, including eyes, ears, nose, body, and mind, which collect information from the outside world by radiating to the outside world.

Internal senses are quite complex, such as the perception of one's own body, hunger, fatigue, pain and other states, as well as emotions such as joy, sadness, anger, etc.

But whether it is the external senses or the internal senses, you must first have "knowledge"!

It's like a person born blind. No matter how vividly others describe something, they will never be able to understand it. They won't understand what color is, what light is, how vivid objects illuminated by light are, or what it's like to be able to "see"...

To give another example, when a person takes a deep breath, the air can no longer be felt after entering the mouth and nose, but the air really exists, so can a person sense the circulation of the breath in the body?

Imagine that if this breath is cold air and the temperature does not change, after inhaling it into the body, can you clearly feel which part of the body this breath reaches?

Perception, perception, only when you feel it personally can you have "knowledge"!

The same is true for human innate qi. Everyone has innate qi, but if you don’t feel it, you won’t have “knowledge”, even if you use it unintentionally!

This "feeling" is the qualification of extraordinary people to practice. They can feel Qi and "know" the Tao Qi, and then they can perceive Qi.

When Fu Yuan was a child, he could not feel this breath of Qi no matter what, so he could not "know" and could not sense the innate Qi.

To describe it in a certain state... Without external perception, such as pressing with hands, listening with ears, etc., the human body cannot feel its own pulse beating.

However, under special circumstances, such as brain congestion or intense blood flow, the human body can clearly feel its own pulse beating.

The same is true for refining Qi. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be perceived, but through practice, the innate Qi becomes clear and can then be perceived, which allows for subsequent practice.

……

The two people blocking the road had very mixed auras. Logically, they should not be able to sense the innate qi, but they both happened to be extraordinary people.

Has Ma Xianhong’s furnace been built?

Fu Yuan rode his electric scooter, swaying towards Biyou Village.

Gradually, I could see a few roofs and buildings vaguely visible in the dense forest...

But that’s about it.

Before Fu Yuan could move forward, he was surrounded.

If the two people who blocked the way before had mixed auras, the auras of these people in front of him were very pure. The condensed innate aura was completely prominent, overwhelming the other turbid auras.

This is the extraordinary person who has been created through practice!

Seven or eight people surrounded Fu Yuan, but no one rushed to take action, and no one spoke. Instead, they looked at him with curiosity.

These people included men and women, tall and short, strong and thin, old and young, and even a Taoist priest... Although Fu Yuan didn't know any of them, he had some guesses in his mind.

This should be what Biyou Village calls "superior aptitude".

Fu Yuan raised his hands decisively and said, "Surrender!"

The people surrounding him made way for a gap, and a man with long pink-gray hair, a bandage on his head, and a white robe, with magical weapons on his hands, feet, and neck, walked over. He looked at Fu Yuan and said, "I know you, the Confucian cultivator Fu Yuan, who made a big splash at the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Your swordsmanship is exquisite, capable of severing all laws. You speak the law of heaven and can break laws with a single word."

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You cultivate your noble spirit, so I thought you would choose to fight head-on rather than surrender. This kind of compromise doesn't really suit your noble spirit... By the way, my name is Ma Xianhong, and I'm the village chief of Biyou Village."

"Hello, Village Chief Ma."

Fu Yuan greeted, "Everything in the world has its own way. The wise know when to advance and when to retreat, and the brave have self-control. If you only know how to be stubborn, how can you survive in this world?"

If someone thinks that Confucianism always chooses to be tough in everything, they are totally wrong.

Whether you can fight hard or not depends on the situation. First, you have to be right, and second, you have to be able to win. If you ensure these two points, then fighting hard is called backbone and righteousness.

You clearly can't win, but you still fight hard. That's courting death!

Or maybe you are not in the right and want to confront him, but you don't have the confidence.

What should I do if I am right but cannot win the fight?

At this time, Confucianism recommends the "snake-like way", which means bending and stretching in moderation, advancing and retreating freely, being flexible and adaptable like a snake, and enduring and accumulating strength, so as to find a chance of survival in desperate situations.

Not all Confucians are open and honest. Some appear to be submissive but are actually accumulating strength. Some appear to be giving in but are actually waiting for the opportunity.

When Confucians become vicious, they are no worse than anyone else!

However, given the current situation, Fu Yuan didn't want to fight, and there was no reason to fight, so he simply chose to surrender.

Ma Xianhong was a little surprised. He stared at Fu Yuan for a long time and said, "What you heard from me is different... What brings you to Biyou Village? What brings you here?"

Fu Yuan said directly: "First, find Fu Rong, second, find Chen Duo, and third, find you."

"Coincidentally, your three targets are all in the village."

"So, can I enter this Biyou Village?"

"please!"

Chapter 83 Ritualization

On the way into the village, Ma Xianhong kept observing Fu Yuan: "You seem very happy?"

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "Did you figure it out?"

"You showed it very clearly." Ma Xianhong waved his hand behind him, and the people with superior aptitudes dispersed. Before leaving, their eyes lingered on Fu Yuan for a while.

Fu Yuan nodded and said, "Well, you have a very contradictory mindset. On the one hand, you want me to enter the village, but on the other hand, you don't want me to enter the village... Now that I have broken through the barriers and entered, I am naturally happy."

Ma Xianhong asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "You showed up so quickly, as if you'd been waiting for me for a long time... I guess you've been keeping track of my movements for a long time. You might have seen me dealing with those two people just now, using some means."

If Ma Xianhong really didn't want Fu Yuan to enter the village, the two people at the door should not have let Fu Yuan use any tricks, but should have driven him away directly.

When Fu Yuan forces his way in, he will have to endure the siege of those with superior aptitude.

But the result was that the superior people surrounded but did not attack...which highlighted Ma Xianhong's contradictory thoughts.

Ma Xianhong also realized it and said, "So you deliberately used... the 'mouth of heaven's law'? Is that what you said? With just two words, you solved them and aroused my curiosity?"

Fu Yuan pointed at Ma Xianhong and said, "Did someone tell you not to let me into the village, but your curiosity is too strong..."

Ma Xianhong's face was a little awkward: "I just didn't expect that a Confucian cultivator with such great righteousness would choose to surrender directly. He has no courage at all."

People who have a sense of righteousness in their hearts will subconsciously act with reason in mind and argue based on reason. Who would have thought that Fu Yuan's "surrender" would make it impossible to argue.

Fu Yuan was amused and said, "I only know one thing: if one party is right in a conflict but still holds back, it's either because they are cowardly or they have concerns or something they want.

Are you concerned about my strength, or do you have something to ask of me?"

Ma Xianhong's cheeks twitched. He wanted to refute, but he only had three choices. Did he have to admit that he was a coward?

There was no way to argue, and Fu Yuan directly stated the purpose of coming here, so Ma Xianhong couldn't even say the word of refusal - could he still stop the other party from finding someone?

Among them is his biological sister.

Biyou Village isn't some pyramid scheme scam...

After all, I am not as decisive as Fu Yuan!

He simply kept silent and took Fu Yuan to a house, saying, "You stay there first. As for Fu Rong and Chen Duo, they will come to see you when they want to."

After that, he left without looking back.

Fu Yuan watched him leave with a smile, went into the house to tidy up, and then began to wander around the village.
