Chapter 2064

On the first day Ye Xiao came to this courtyard, he noticed that the old man's kung fu was good, and proposed to learn martial arts from him.

However, at that time, Ye Xiao still needed to prepare for the fight with Xiao Mo Ke, so he was rejected by the old man.

But today is different. The Yang family has been stabilized by him, and Hua An has also told him that there is no need to do anything extra. Ye Xiao believes that he is calm at this time, and he doesn't believe that the old man can still refuse with the previous reason.

Moreover, Ye Xiao also sensed the presence of the old man in the war camp yesterday. He should have been invited by the second elder or Hua An to control the situation. This shows that the old man is not completely secluded and does not care about worldly affairs.

However, the old man is still drinking porridge in small sips at this moment, and he is not in a hurry to respond to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also has enough patience for the old man, just waiting quietly.

Finally, after the old man swallowed the last grain of rice porridge in the bowl, he said casually: "Boy, you don't have to fight to spar. Put away the bowls and chopsticks and let's chat!"

Ye Xiao hesitated. He never liked to sit and talk, but he liked to see the truth with fists and feet. But thinking that he was still a guest after all, he should follow the host's wishes!

So he stood up and started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.

A few minutes later, Ye Xiao returned to sit opposite the old man. At this time, the old man had lit a pipe and smoked leisurely.

"Senior, now it's okay!" Ye Xiao still maintained a humble attitude.

There was no way. The old man was not only older than his grandfather, but also had a higher martial arts cultivation than himself. Ye Xiao thought he had no qualifications to be arrogant in front of the old man.

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Boy, do you know why I don't fight with you?"

Ye Xiao shook his head, "Please teach me, senior."

"Yesterday, I saw you fighting with Xiao Mo Ke, and I knew who would win, so there's no need to fight again." The old man said lightly.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao's brows slightly frowned. It was obvious that the old man meant that he was not his opponent!

For a young man like Ye Xiao who was full of blood and had almost no defeats in recent times, he was naturally a little dissatisfied.

Of course, the old man could see Ye Xiao's dissatisfaction. He asked slowly, "Boy, the martial arts predecessors said that a warrior needs to see himself, the world, and all living beings. What do you think?"

Ye Xiao knew that the old man wanted to convince himself that his strength was not as good as his, so he wanted to compete with the old man.

He followed the martial arts words taught by the old man from Qingyun Mountain and gave a standard answer: "Seeing yourself is to feel the true self and the original self, so as to be open-minded and courageous!"

"Seeing the world is to know the law of the waxing and waning of the moon, and to know the impermanence of birth, aging, illness and death!"

"Seeing all living beings is to transcend the limitations of the world and break the cage of the world!"

After saying that, Ye Xiao stared at the old man. His words were equivalent to reciting the words of a martial arts predecessor. Could it be that he could still be found fault with them?

The old man laughed, "Boy, when did you see yourself, when did you see the world, and when did you see all living beings?"

"Which of these three came first and which came last for you?"

"Uh!" Ye Xiao was stunned by the old man's question.

He had never thought about such a question before. He thought that he could deal with the old man by reciting the standard answer, but unexpectedly, the latter asked such a question.

Ye Xiao shook his head, threw away his distracting thoughts, and began to think seriously.

Seeing oneself should be when breaking through the realm of seeing the gods. If one cannot see one's own heart, one cannot break through that layer of shackles.

What about seeing the heaven and earth? This should correspond to the time of breaking through the realm of transformation, but part of the credit for his breakthrough in the realm of transformation should be attributed to the gift of the old monk of Angkor Temple. He did not seem to rely on himself to feel anything.

As for seeing sentient beings, Ye Xiao was even more at a loss.

He had seen countless people, and those were naturally sentient beings, but he only saw them with his eyes, just like seeing the flowers and plants in the world. For him, there was no special feeling.

After a long time, Ye Xiao sighed in frustration, "Senior, I can't answer the heaven and earth and sentient beings."

Ye Xiao said everything.

The old man smiled, "In fact, I can't answer the two questions I just asked."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

When the old man asked this question just now, he thought that the old man was a person like a master who could enlighten him with just one word. He never thought that there would be such a turn in the end.

However, the old man said calmly: "You just said that we are sparring."

"If I make a move and you can't catch it, then I win, what can you do?You must care about me, whether I can break my moves? "

Wow! It makes sense, I was speechless.

"Senior, if you say so, I am indeed not as good as you." Regardless of whether the old man's words were perverse, Ye Xiao did not find a reason to refute.

At this time, the old man continued: "I can see that you have learned a lot of kung fu, and your moves are not restricted by a single pattern. It will be difficult for people to resist in a hurry, but if some moves are forced to be combined, you can only get the form but not the spirit. "

After hearing the old man's previous words, Ye Xiao was still a little complacent, but he didn't agree with the old man's later words.

However, before Ye Xiao could respond, the old man spoke again, "The Xingyiquan left by our ancestors was originally just three types of boxing: drilling, wrapping, and stepping, but later people did not understand the ingenuity, so they simplified it into complexity and created the twelve-form boxing and the five-element boxing. ”

“At the beginning of Baguazhang, there were only single and double palm changes. Later, people created the 64 palms. ”

“The ancients did not create boxing out of thin air. It is like a mantis catching a cicada. After observing it, the ancients did not simply copy the movements, but integrated the philosophical ideas of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and understood its spirit and meaning. ”

“Then there was the corresponding boxing. ”

“This is my understanding of seeing the world! "

Ye Xiao savored the old man's words carefully, and his initial doubts disappeared without a trace, and the more he thought about it, the more insightful he felt.

He couldn't help but think that in the battle between Penglai and Cherfu, his five steps to seize Huashan, wasn't it because he understood the true meaning of this boxing, so he played it with charm?

And he could only reach the level of seeing himself, while the old man had undoubtedly reached the realm of seeing the world. It seems that if he really fights, he is afraid that he will not have a chance of winning!

Ye Xiao stood up solemnly and bowed to the old man, "Thank you for your teachings."

Although he didn't get the kung fu routines he wanted to see from the old man today, the old man's words were enough to benefit him infinitely.

The old man nodded again, "Boy, I hope that one day you can answer those two questions completely. Maybe then, it will be my turn to ask you for advice."

"Okay, I should go weed. "

After saying that, the old man tapped his pipe on the table, put it on his waist, and just like when Ye Xiao first met him, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the yard, to the vegetable field.

"See the world, see all living things!"

"This is a martial arts path worth taking!"
