Shang Tang asked Xia Ge, "Were there all things in ancient times?"
Xia Ge said: "If there was no thing in ancient times, where did everything come from now? Is it okay for people in the future to say that there is no thing now?"
Shang Tang asked again: "Then there is no difference in the generation of all things?"
Xia Ge said: "There is no boundary between the death and the creation of all things. The birth of this thing may be the death of that thing, and the death of this thing may be the beginning of that thing, so how can we figure out the clues to them?
That is, I did not know anything except what I saw, before I knew all things. Shang Tang asked, "So is there a final end to the upper and lower eight directions?" Xia Ge said: "I don't know. ”
Shang Tang asked him repeatedly.
Xia Ge said: "There is no limit to what is invisible, there is no end to what can be seen, how can I know? But there is no limit beyond the limit, and there is no end in the infinity."
There is neither limit nor limitless, neither endless nor endless, and I know from this that there is no limit to everything, there is no end, and I do not know that it has an limit and an end. ”
Shang Tang asked again, "What is beyond the four seas?" Xia Ge said: "It's the same as China. Shang Tang asked, "What do you use to substantiate this view?"
Xia Ge said: "I went east to Yingzhou, and the people are the same as here. Ask the east of Yingzhou, and it is the same as Yingzhou. Heading west to Fenzhou, the people are the same as here. Ask the west of Fenzhou, and it is the same as Fenzhou. Based on this, I know that the four seas, the four wildernesses, and the four poles are no different from our place. Therefore, the big and the small contain each other, and there is no end.
He that contains all things is like heaven and earth. Because it contains all things, there is no end; Because it contains the land of death, there is no limit. How can I know that there is no greater body beyond the heavens and the earth than the earth? But heaven and earth are also objects. Objects have their own shortcomings, so in the past, Nuwa smelted stones of five colors to make up for the gap between heaven and earth, and cut off the four feet of turtle fish to support the four corners of heaven and earth.
Later, the Gonggong clan competed for the throne with Zhuan Xiang, and because of anger, he ran into Buzhou Mountain, broke the pillar holding the sky, and tore off the rope that pulled the ground, and the sky tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars all moved to the northwest; The land sinks to the southeast, so the rivers and lakes flow to the southeast. ”
Shang Tang asked again: "Do all things have sizes, do they have lengths, and are there similarities and differences?"
Xia Ge said: "In the east of the Bohai Sea, hundreds of millions of miles away, there is a big ravine, which is actually a valley without a bottom, and there is no bottom below, and its name is Guixu. There is nothing that does not flow there from the eight poles of the earth, in the center of the eight directions of the sky, and in the Milky Way, and there is neither an increase nor a decrease in the water there.
There are five mountains there: the first one is called Daiyu Mountain, the second one is called Yuanqiao Mountain, the third one is called Fanghu Mountain, the fourth one is called Yingzhou Mountain, and the fifth one is called Penglai Mountain. Each mountain extends up to 30,000 li in circumference, and the flat area on the top of the mountain is also 9,000 li. The distance between the mountains is 70,000 miles, but they consider each other neighbors.
The towers and palaces on the mountain were all built by the king of gold and silver beads, but the birds and beasts on the mountain were the same pure white. The tree of jewels and gems grows densely, and the flowers and fruits taste so delicious that they will never grow old and never die if they are eaten. The people who live there are all immortals and saints, and the number of people who can fly over and back in one day and one night is too many to count. However, the roots of the five mountains are not connected, and they often move up and down with the waves of the tide, and there is no stability for a moment. The gods and saints hated it, so they reported it to the Emperor. The Emperor of Heaven was worried that these five mountains would flow to the westernmost and deprive many immortals and saints of their place to live, so he ordered Yu Qiang to command fifteen big cao to raise their heads and hold these five mountains up. It is divided into three classes, and it is changed every 60,000 years. These five mountains are only beginning to stabilize and no longer flow, but there is a giant in the country of Lombard, lifted
After walking a few steps, they reached the place where the five mountains were, and with one hook they caught six big hoots, and together they returned to their country on their backs, and then burned the bones of the big hoots to divinate good fortune and evil. So the two mountains of Daiyu and Yuanqiao flowed to the northernmost and sank into the sea, and the number of immortals and saints who were displaced and migrated was so large that it was necessary to calculate in hundreds of millions.
The Emperor of Heaven lost his temper, so he gradually shrunk the territory of the country of Lombal to make it narrower and narrower, and gradually shrunk the people of the country of Lombard to make them shorter and shorter. By the time of Fuxi and Shennong, the people of that country were still dozens of zhang high. 400,000 miles west of China is a country of Yuyu, whose height is only one foot and five inches.
There is a person named Jingren in the northeast, who is only nine inches tall. There is a kind of ghost tree in the south of Jingzhou, which takes 500 years to grow a leaf and 500 years to fall a leaf.
In ancient times, there was a kind of big Tsubaki tree, which took 8,000 years to grow a leaf and 8,000 years to drop a leaf. On the rotten soil there is a plant called mushroom that grows in the morning and dies in the evening. In spring and summer, there is a small flying insect called a gnat, which is born when it rains and dies at the sight of the sun. There is a sea in the north of the country, also called Tianchi, and there is one of them
Breeding fish, up to thousands of miles wide, its length and width are commensurate, and the name of the fish is Kun.
There is another kind of bird, its name is Peng, its wings are like clouds hanging in the sky, and its body is commensurate with its wings. How do people in the world know that there are such things?
Dayu saw it when he traveled to control the water, Boyi named them after he knew it, and Yijian recorded them after hearing about it. There is a very small insect called the scorched borer, which flies up in swarms and gathers on the eyelashes of the mosquitoes, and they do not touch each other. Resting on the eyelashes, lodging, flying around, the mosquitoes are not aware at all.
Li Zhu and Ziyu wiped their eyes to watch in broad daylight, but they couldn't see their shapes; Yu and Shi Kuang hollowed out their ears and lowered their heads to listen when the night was quiet, but they could not hear their voices.
Only when Huang, Emperor and Rong Chengzi lived on Kongtong Mountain, fasted together for three months, their minds were dead and silent, their bodies were abandoned, and then they slowly observed with their divine thoughts, so that they could see things like clods, like the hills of Songshan Mountain; Listen slowly with your breath to hear a thumping sound, like the sound of thunder.
There is a big tree in the states of Wu and Chu, its name is pomelo, the green leaves are still green in winter, the fruit is red, and the taste is sour. Eating its skin and juice can cure the disease of qi reversal. The people of the Central Plains cherished it, but transplanted to the north of the Huai River and became a citrus tree. Starlings can't cross Jishui, and badgers die after crossing Wenshui, all of which are caused by the earth's qi.
Even so, the shape and temperament are different, but the nature is the same, and there is no need to exchange with each other, the nature is very complete, and the talent is also sufficient. How can I tell how big they are, how long they are long, how can I tell if they are the same or the same?"
Taihang, Wangwu two mountains, a radius of 700 miles, 8,000 zhang high, originally in the south of Jizhou, the north of Heyang.
On the north side of the mountain, there is a foolish man, who is nearly ninety years old, and lives facing the mountain.
Suffering from the fact that the mountain blocked the road from the north of the mountain to the south of the mountain, and the entrance and exit had to go around the mountain, he called the whole family to discuss and said: "I and you will spend all your life to smooth out the steep and steep, so that the road can go straight to the south of Yuzhou and reach the yin of the Han River, okay?" The whole family agreed in unison.
His wife asked, "With your strength, you can't move even a small mound, what can you do to Taihang Mountain and Yuwu Mountain? And where will the excavated soil and stones be placed?"
Everyone said, "Fall to the shore of the Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden land." Yu Gong then led three of his children and grandchildren who could carry the burden, knocked stones and dug the soil, and transported them to the shore of the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. The widow of the neighboring Jingcheng clan had a boy who had just reached the age of changing his teeth, and he also ran to help.
Winter and summer change once before a round trip. A man named Zhisu laughed at them and said, "You are so stupid! At your dying age, you can't destroy even a single hair on the mountain, and what can you do with clods of earth and stones?"
Beishan Yugong sighed: "Your thinking is too stubborn, too stubborn to make sense, even widows and children. Even if I'm dead, there's a son.
Sons beget grandchildren, grandsons beget sons, sons beget sons, sons have sons, sons have grandchildren, children and grandchildren, there is no end, and the mountains will not grow any higher, so why worry about digging unevenly?"
Hequ Zhisu had no words to answer. The mountain god who the snake heard about it, and was afraid that they would really dig non-stop, so he reported it to the emperor. The Emperor of Heaven was moved by their sincerity and ordered the two sons of the Kua E clan to carry the two mountains, one to the east of Shuozhou and the other to the south of Yongzhou. Since then, there are no hills blocking the south of Jizhou and the yin of Hanshui.
Kuafu is not able to do anything, but wants to chase the shadow of the sun.
Chasing to the edge of the valley where the sun is hidden, he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he ran to the Yellow River and Weishui to drink water, the Yellow River and Weishui were not enough to drink, and he was ready to go to Daze in the north to drink. Before he could reach it, he died of thirst in the middle of the road. The cane he threw away, due to the infiltration of flesh and blood from the corpse, grew into a forest, called Dunlin. Deng Lin is vast and has a radius of thousands of miles.
Dayu said: "Between the upper and lower four directions, within the four seas, the sun and the moon shine on it, the stars surround it, the four seasons make it have rules, and Tai Sui makes it have a compendium." Produced by the gods, they come in a variety of shapes, some die young, some live a long life, and only a saint can understand the truth. Xia Ge said: "But there are also people who don't need gods to be generated, who don't need yin and yang to have a body, who don't need the sun and the moon to have light, who don't need to kill and die, who don't need to be maintained, who don't need to have food, who don't need silk to wear, who don't need cars and boats to walk, and whose methods are natural, which is not something that a saint can understand." ”
Dayu managed the flood, lost the road, and went wrong to a country, on the coast of the north of the North Sea, I don't know that there are tens of millions of miles away from China.
The name of that country is Zhongbei, and I don't know where its borders end. There is no wind, rain, frost and dew, and there are no birds, beasts, insects, fish, plants and trees. It is flat in all directions, south, east, and west, and is surrounded by triple mountain ranges.
There is a mountain in the middle of the country, and the name of the mountain is called the pot collar, which is shaped like a tile urn. There is a mouth on the top of the mountain, shaped like a ring, called Zixue. And water gushed out of it, and its name was Shinki, and its fragrance was better than that of a pepper, and its sweetness was better than that of sweet wine.
From this one source, four tributaries are divided, which flow to the foot of the mountain, and pass through the whole country, and there is no place where it cannot be infiltrated.
The rustic atmosphere is neutral, and there are no people who die early due to the epidemic. Human nature is weak, go with the flow, do not compete, do not fight; Kind-hearted, weak-minded, not proud, not jealous; The elder and the younger dwelt together equally, without kings or ministers; Men and women mingle, there is no matchmaker, there is no dowry; dwelling by water, not planting, not reaping; The soil temperature is pleasant, no weaving silk, no clothes; Live to be a hundred years old before you die, don't die early, don't get sick.
The people there multiplied innumerably, with joy and joy, without aging, sorrow and pain. The customs there love music, hand in hand and take turns singing, and the singing does not stop all day long. When you are hungry and tired, you drink the water of the sacred spring, and your strength and mind will be neutralized and calm again.
If you drink too much, you will get drunk, and it will take you more than ten days to wake up.
Bathing with the water of the sacred spring, the complexion is smooth and shiny, and the aroma dissipates for more than ten days. King Mu of Zhou once traveled to that country when he traveled north, and forgot to go home for three years.
After returning to the palace of the Zhou Kingdom, he still longed for that country, felt very frustrated, did not want to eat wine and meat, and did not see the concubines, and it was only after several months that he returned to normal. When Guan Zhong heard about it, he persuaded Qi Huan to visit Liaokou and go to that country together, and he was almost about to leave.
Xi Peng dissuaded: "You discard the vast land of Qi State, the many people, the considerable mountains and rivers, the abundant products, the grand etiquette, the gorgeous clothes, the enchanting concubines fill the harem, the civil, military and loyal and good people fill the court, you can gather millions of disciples with a single blow, and you can make the princes obey orders with a single order, why should you envy other countries and abandon the ancestors and land of Qi to go to a barbaric and backward country? This is the confusion of the middle father, why should you listen to him?"
Huan Gong then stopped preparing for the trip and told Guan Zhong what Xi Peng said. Guan Zhong said: "This is not something that Xi Peng can understand. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to go to that country, what is there to be nostalgic for the richness of Qi country?
People in the southern countries cut off their hair and bare their bodies, people in the northern countries wore fur fur in the middle of their heads, and people in the central states wore top hats and clothes.
Depending on the conditions in Kyushu, some farm, some do business, some hunt, and some fish, just like wearing a leather jacket in winter and silk in summer, and traveling by boat or land by car.
You don't need to speak, you naturally understand, and you can succeed naturally. In the east of the Yue Kingdom, there was a country of Mu Mu, and after the first son was born, he peeled him and ate him, saying that it was good for the younger brother below. Their grandfather had died, and they had to carry their grandmother out and throw it away, saying, 'The wife of a dead ghost cannot live with us.' ’
There is a Yanren country in the south of the Chu State, and their parents have died, so they have to remove the flesh from their bodies and throw them away, and then bury their bones in the soil, which is considered filial piety. There is a Yiqu country in the west of the Qin State, their parents died, and they had to pile up the firewood and burn it under the corpse, and the smoke from the burned corpse ran straight up, shouting: Do ascending to heaven, so that it can be regarded as a filial son. The people at the top take it as a political matter, and the people below take it as a custom, and they don't think it's anything strange.
Confucius traveled to the East and saw two children arguing, so he asked them why they were arguing. One child said, "I think the sun is near us at the beginning of the mountain and far away at noon." ”
Another child said, "I think the sun is far away from us at the beginning of the mountain and close to us at noon." A child said, "When the sun first comes out of the mountain, it is as big as the lid of a car, and at noon, it is as big as a small plate. Another child said, "When the sun first comes out of the mountains, it is cold and cold, and at noon it is like a hand in hot water. Confucius could not adjudicate. The two children laughed and said, "Who said you have a lot of knowledge?"
They are the highest standards in the world, and the same is true when it comes to tangible objects.
Even hair can hang even objects, some light and heavy, and the hair is broken, because of unevenness. The strength is even, and what should have been broken will not be broken.
Most people think that this is not the case, but naturally there will be people who understand this truth. Zhan He used a silk as a fishing line, a mango needle from rice and wheat as a fishing hook, a vitex and tender bamboo as a fishing rod, and a cut rice grain as bait, and caught a big fish that could fill a cart in the abyss and turbulent rapids at a depth of 80 zhang. When the king of Chu heard this, he felt strange and summoned him to ask him about the truth. Zhan He said: "I heard my late father say that Pu Jizi shot birds, with a weak bow and slender silk thread, and shot out while the wind was blowing, and he was able to shoot a pair of orioles from above the green clouds, because he was single-minded and evenly moved.
I followed his method and learned to fish in imitation, and it took me five years to fully master the technique.
When I was holding the fishing rod by the river, I had no distractions in my mind, I just thought about hooking the fish, throwing out the line, sinking the hook, and my hands were neither light nor heavy, and nothing could be disturbed.
When the fish saw my bait, it thought it was settled dust and gathered foam, and swallowed it without question. This is why I am able to subdue the strong with the weak, and get the heavy with the light. If the king can govern the country like this, then the world can run in the palm of your hand, and what else can't be done?" The king of Chu said, "Well said!"
Lu Gonghu and Zhao Qiying were sick and went to Bian Que together to ask for medical treatment.
Bian Que treated them and soon healed them together.
Bian Que said to Gonghu and Qi Ying: "The disease you suffered before invaded the intestines from the outside, and it can be cured with herbs and needles. Now that you are born with a disease that has grown with your body, how about treating you now?" The two of them said, "I would like to talk about the symptoms of our illness first." ”
Bian Que said to Gong Hu: "You have a strong mind but a weak spirit, so you have too many schemes and lack decisiveness. Qi Ying is weak in mind but strong in spirit, so he has too few plans and is very domineering. If you swap your hearts, it will all be good. ”
Bian Que then asked the two to drink poisoned wine, made them unconscious for three days, cut open their chests, took out their hearts, exchanged them and put them in again, gave them miraculous medicines, and when they woke up, everything was the same.
The two said goodbye and went home. So Gonghu returned to Qi Ying's house and had his wife and children, but his wife and children did not know him. Qi Ying also returned to Gonghu's house and possessed his wife and children, and his wife and children did not know him. The two families therefore started a lawsuit and begged Bian Que to find out the reason. Bian Que explained the reason for the incident, and the lawsuit was resolved.
Playing the harp can make the birds fly and the fish jump.
After Zheng Guo's teacher heard about it, he left home and followed his teacher to study, tuning the strings by fingers, but he couldn't play a piece of music well in three years. Shi Xiang said, "You can go home." Shi Wen put down his piano, sighed and said: "It's not that I can't tune the strings, and it's not that I can't play music well, but what exists in my heart is not the strings, what I think about is not the music, I can't concentrate in my heart, and I can't correspond to the instrument outside my heart, so I don't dare to let go of my hand to pluck the strings."
Give me less time and see what happens to me. Not long after, I went to see Shixiang again. Shi Xiang asked, "What's wrong with your piano?" Shi Wen said, "Okay. Please let me try it. ”
So in the spring, the Shang strings were plucked, and the Nanlu rhythm was played, and the cool wind suddenly blew, and the plants and trees ripened and bore fruit.
In autumn, the horn strings are plucked again, and the rhythm of the bell is played, and the warm wind slowly swirls, and the plants and trees sprout and bloom.
In the summer, the feather strings are plucked again, and the rhythm of the yellow bell is played, and the frost and snow fall one after another, and the rivers and ponds suddenly freeze into ice.
In the winter, the strings are plucked again, and the rhythm of the rein music is played, and the sun is blazing and strong, and the solid ice immediately melts. At the end of the playing, the palace strings were plucked again, and the harmony of the four seasons was played, so the warm south wind returned, the auspicious colored clouds fluttered, the sweet rain and dew fell, and the beautiful spring water flowed. Shi Xiang stroked his heart and jumped up, saying, "You play too delicately! Even if Shi Kuang plays the clear horn, Zou Yan's rhythm cannot surpass you, they will follow you with the strings and Xiao Guan to ask you for advice." ”
Xue Tan learned to sing from Qin Qing, but he hadn't fully learned Qin Qing's skills, and thought he had nothing to learn, so he quit and went home.
Qin Qing didn't stop it, he was still walking for him at the intersection of the suburbs, and sang sad songs to the beat, the sound vibrated the woods, and the echo blocked Xingyun. Only then did Xue Tan admit his mistake and ask to return to continue his studies, and he did not dare to mention going home again for the rest of his life.
Qin Qing once said to his friend: "In the past, Han E went east to the Qi country, and when the grain ran out, when he passed through Yongmen; relied on singing to make a living. After she left, the voice that remained still echoed between the beams of the house, and it did not stop for three days, and the people around thought that she had not left.
When Han E passed by the hotel, the people in the hotel insulted her. So Han E dragged out her voice and cried sadly, and the old people and children within a mile around her were also sad and sad, relatively tearful, and did not eat for three days.
The people in the hotel hurriedly chased after her and apologized to her, and after Han E came back, she sang for a long time with a long voice, and the old people and children within a mile around her also clapped their hands and danced happily, and no one could stop by themselves, forgetting the sadness just now. Then give her a lot of money and send her home. Therefore, the people near Yongmen still like to sing and cry until now, which is imitating the voice left by Han Mo!"
Boya is good at playing the piano, and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. When Boya played the piano, he thought of the high mountains, and Zhong Ziqi said: "Okay! tall and solemn like Mount Tai!" Thinking of the flowing water, Zhong Ziqi said: "Okay! Boya thinks of something, Zhong Ziqi must be able to understand. Boya was visiting the north of Mount Tai, suddenly encountered a torrential rain, stayed under the rock, and was sad in his heart, so he picked up the piano and played. played "The Exercise of the Rain" first, and then "The Sound of the Collapsed Mountain", every time he played a song, Zhong Ziqi could understand its purpose. So Boya put down the piano and sighed: "Your ability to listen to the piano is really too high, too high! What you think in your heart is exactly what I think, how can I escape your ability to recognize sounds?"
King Mu of Zhou inspected the west, crossed the Kunlun Mountains, and arrived at the Tizi Mountains.
Then he returned, and before he reached the Central Plains, someone on the way volunteered to dedicate his skills to King Mu, named Yanshi, and King Mu summoned him and asked, "What talent do you have?"
The Yanshi said, "I can do whatever you want." But I've made something, and I want the king to see it first. King Mu said, "Bring it in a few days, and we'll have a look at it together." ”
One day later, the Yanshi came to see King Mu again, and King Mu summoned him and said, "Who is with you?" The Yanshi replied, "I am the one I have made who can sing and dance." King Mu looked at it in amazement, walking and pitching, just like a real person.
The carpenter shook his head, and sang a song that was in tune with the music; Holding its hand, it danced to the beat. It's ever-changing, and you can do whatever you want it to do.
King Mu thought it was a real person, so he asked Sheng Ji and the palace to come and watch it. Towards the end of the performance, the man who could sing and dance blinked his eyes and beckoned to King Mu's concubines on the left and right.
King Mu was furious and immediately wanted to kill Yanshi. Yan Shi was very frightened, and hurriedly dissected the singing and dancing people to show King Mu, it turned out that they were all made of leather, wood, glue, paint, white powder, black powder, red powder, green powder and other materials, King Mu carefully inspected, the liver, gall bladder, heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys, intestines, stomach, muscles and bones, limbs, joints, skin, hair, teeth, hair, hair, etc., all fake, but there is nothing that is not available, and the aggregation is the same as what I saw at the beginning. King Mu tried to take away its heart, and its mouth could no longer speak. Take away its liver, and its eyes will no longer be able to see; Take away its kidneys, and its feet will no longer be able to walk. Only then did King Mu happily exclaim, "Can human skill have the same function as the Heavenly Emperor who created all things?" Ordered the Yanshi to get on the auxiliary car and return to the Central Plains. Ban's lost ladder, Mo Zhai's flying kite, claims to be the highest skill. When the disciples Dongmen Jia and Yu Huali heard about the Yanshi's skills, they told the two teachers, who never dared to talk about their skills again in their lives, but they were always studying with the rules.
The ganfly was a person who was very good at archery in ancient times, and when he opened his bow, the beast lay down and the bird landed.
There was a disciple named Feiwei who learned archery from Gan Fly and surpassed his teacher in terms of skill. There is another man named Ji Chang, who learns archery from Feiwei. Feiwei said, "You learn the skill of not blinking before you can talk about archery." ”
When Ji Chang returned home, he lay on his back under his wife's loom, his eyes on the pedals that kept moving up and down.
Two years later, even if the tip of the cone touches the eye socket, it does not blink. He told Feiwei about this skill, and Feiwei said, "No, you must also learn to see things, and then you can learn to shoot arrows, and you can see small things like big things, and you can see small things like big things, and then you can tell me." ”
So Ji Chang tied a louse with a long hair and hung it on the window, looking at the lice facing south. Over the course of ten days, the lice he saw grew in size; After three years, it's like looking at the size of a wheel.
If you look at everything else, it's all hills and mountains. So he used the bow decorated with the horns of the Yan Kingdom and the arrow made of the fluffy grass of the Chu State to shoot the lice, which just penetrated the heart of the lice, but the long hair of the hanging lice did not break.
He reported this skill to Fei Wei again, and Fei Wei jumped up and patted his chest and said, "You have obtained the skill!" After Ji Chang completely learned the skills of Feiwei, he thought that only Feiwei was the only one who could be the enemy of himself in the world, so he plotted to kill Feiwei, and once met in the wild, the two shot arrows at each other, and the arrows collided in the middle of the road, falling to the ground, and even the dust was not raised. Feiwei's arrow was shot first, Ji Chang didn't leave one, after he shot this arrow, Feiwei used the tip of a grass thorn to resist, and blocked the arrow at all. So the two threw away their bows with tears in their eyes, bowed down to each other on the way, begged to be married to father and son, and swore that they would cut off their arms and swear that they would not pass on their skills to others.
The father's teacher was called Taidou, and when the father first learned to drive with him, he was very humble in etiquette, but Taidou did not teach him for three years.
The Father was more cautious in his courtesy, and Tai Dou told him, "
The ancient poem says: 'The disciples of the excellent archers must first learn to make dustpans; The disciples of excellent smelters must first learn to make leather clothes. 'You see me walk briskly.' If you can walk as fast as I do, then you can grasp the reins and steer the horses. The Father said, "Everything is at your command." ”
So Taidou erected the stick to make a path, and only one foot could be placed on the stake, according to the size of the pace, and then he stepped on the stake and walked, running back and forth as fast as he could, and did not fall. The Father learned this technique, and he learned it completely in three days.
Tai Dou exclaimed, "Why are you so sensitive? When you were walking on the stake just now, it was your feet that stepped steadily, and the commander was your heart.
Extending this to driving, when coordinating the reins and armatures, the speed and the command are in harmony, the correct command is within the heart, and the rhythm is between the arms. There is a moderate amount of thinking in the body, and the outside of the body is in line with the temperament of the horse, so it can follow the rope and ink in advance and retreat, the melody conforms to the rules, chooses the road, and gallops long distances, and the strength is more than enough, which is the real mastery of driving skills. Get a signal on the armature and immediately respond on the reins; Get a signal on the reins and immediately respond to your cares.
When you get a signal in your hand, you immediately respond in your heart. In this way, there is no need to look with eyes, no need to rush with whips, the mood is leisurely, the body is upright, the reins of the six horses are not disordered, the pace of the twenty-four horses' hooves is not wrong, there is no turning and retreating, there is nothing that does not conform to the beat. Then, it was possible to walk without any other marks than the wheels, and without the horse's hooves on any other ground, without feeling the hardships of the valley and the flatness of the fields. My skills are gone, you should remember them!"
Wei Hei egg killed Qiu Bingzhang due to personal grudges, and Qiu Bingzhang's son Laidan was ready to avenge his father.
Laidan's momentum is very brave, but his body is very weak, counting rice grains to eat, and he can only walk with the wind. Although angry, you cannot raise your arms to retaliate.
He was unwilling to borrow the power of others, and vowed to kill the black egg with his own sword. Wei Hei's ambition is stronger than all the people, and his strength can also fight against a hundred opponents, and his muscles and bones are not something that ordinary people can resist. He craned his neck for the slash, his chest wide open for the arrow, the blade of the sword broken and bent, but his body showed no signs of being struck.
Relying on his own skills and strength, he regarded Laidan as a bird that had just come out of the shell, and Laidan's friend Shen said: "You resent the black egg to the extreme, and the black egg underestimated you too much, what are you going to do?"
With tears in his eyes, Lai Dan said, "I hope you will find a way for me." Shen said: "I heard that the ancestor of the patriotic Kong Zhou obtained the sword of the Son of Heaven of the Yin Dynasty, and a child wore it and repelled the officers and soldiers of the three armies, why didn't you go and beg him?" So he came to Dan and went to Weiguo, met Kong Zhou, made a great gift of slaves, asked to mortgage his wife and children to him, and then talked about what he wanted.
Kong Zhou said: "I have three swords, you can choose, but none of them can kill people."
Let's start with them. A sword is called Hanguang, you can't see it, you don't feel it exists when you use it. When it touches an object, you don't feel anything physical at all, and you don't feel it when it passes through your body.
The other sword is called Chengying, and when the sky is about to light in the early morning, or when the sky is about to be dark in the evening, looking north, it seems that something is faintly present, but its shape is not clear. It touches the object, it makes a sound clearly, it passes through its body, but it doesn't feel pain. Another sword is called Night Practice, and you can see its shadow but not the light during the day, and you can see its light but not its shape at night. It touched its body, clicked and passed, and as soon as it passed, it closed again, and although it could feel pain, there was not a trace of blood on the blade. These three swords, which have been passed down for thirteen generations and have not been used, are treasured in a box and have never been opened. ”
Lai Dan said: "Even so, I still have to borrow the most inferior one. So Kong Zhou gave him back his wife and children, fasted with him for seven days, knelt on a half-sunny and half-cloudy day, took the sword that had been given to him by his knees, and after receiving the sword twice in Laidan, he returned home. Since then, Lai Dan has followed the black egg with a sword, and one day the black egg was drunk and lying under the window, and Lai Dan slashed the black egg three times from the neck to the waist, and the black egg did not notice.
Thinking that the black egg was dead, Laidan hurriedly left, but at the door he ran into the son of the black egg, so he slashed him three more times with his sword, as if he had slashed into the void. The son of the black egg smiled and said, "Why are you waving to me three times stupidly?" Lai Dan realized that this sword really couldn't kill people, and went home with a sigh. When the black egg woke up, he was angry with his wife and said, "You took me naked while I was drunk, and made my throat clogged and my waist hurt. His son said, "He came to Dan just now, and he met me at the door, and he beckoned to me three times, which also made my body ache and my limbs numb. Did he use some kind of spell to subdue us?"
When King Mu of Zhou made a large-scale expedition against the Western peoples, the Western peoples contributed kun and gong swords and fire-washed cloth. The sword was one foot eight inches long, and the steel was skillful, and the blade was red, and it was used to cut through jade like dirt.
When washing the cloth with fire, it must be thrown into the fire, and the cloth becomes the color of the fire, and the dirt becomes the color of the cloth, and the cloth is taken out of the fire and shaken a few times, and the cloth is as white as snowflakes. The crown prince believed that there was no such thing in the world, and that the legend was false. Uncle Xiao said: "The crown prince is really too confident, and he really slanders the reason of things!"
