Chapter 12 Prince Yu's Dog Face
Chapter 12 Prince Yu's Dog Face
Zhu Zaigui's temper immediately flared up.
Zhu Zaigui's face changed. You're so shameless, huh?
It’s really a penalty for not eating the toast!
Zhu Zaigui slammed the table and snorted, "You dare to come to Chaotian Temple with only a few rural tricks? Do you believe that I can drive you out of the capital right now? I am asking for advice with good intentions, and I want to learn some fitness methods, but you are making excuses and are unwilling to teach me the real methods. Do you really think that you are the only 'real immortal' in Chaotian Temple?"
"When I leave this place, all I have to do is to stretch out my finger, and the Taoist priests in this temple will surely flock to me and teach me the Dharma! I advise you not to be ungrateful!"
Lan Daoxing was stunned, he never expected that Prince Yu was such a ruthless person, changing his mind at any time. The royal family was indeed ruthless!
Now Lan Daoxing has not met Emperor Jiajing yet, and does not have his own foundation. If he is really driven out of the capital by Zhu Zaigui, wouldn't he die unjustly?
Lan Daoxing said helplessly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It is my fault. Since Your Majesty is interested in Taoism, I do have a Taoist internal skill called "Xiantian Gong". It is a method of internal Qi training. Long-term practice can strengthen the body and prolong life."
When Zhu Zaigui heard that it was true, his eyes immediately lit up.
It turns out that you have to have the strength to be able to put on airs. It is wishful thinking to expect to be respected by just asking for advice humbly and being courteous to others!
Zhu Zaigui was overjoyed and said, "Since the Taoist priest has this wonderful method, please quickly pass it on to me. I will definitely thank you for your kindness in passing on the method."
After saying this, Zhu Zaigui bowed to Lan Daoxing in a warm and humble tone, as if he had never lost his temper.
This also made Meng Chong, who was standing by, stunned.
Strange, so strange!
Meng Chong had never seen Prince Yu's expression change so naturally as it did today.
It all looks so natural, yet so unreal.
But this is what really happened.
Meng Chong could only stand aside and watch cautiously, secretly thinking in his heart that the reason why Zhu Zaigui acted like this might be that the death of the prince had suddenly stimulated his wisdom.
When Meng Chong thought of this, his eyes lit up. This was really exciting!
Zhu Zaigui asked Lan Daoxing about the "Xiantian Gong" seriously and enthusiastically, and he didn't want to waste even a moment.
Lan Daoxing couldn't help feeling happy when he saw Zhu Zaigui's enthusiastic and serious attitude towards learning. Which teacher wouldn't like such a studious student?
Therefore, Lan Daoxing was very serious when teaching. For some words and sentences that he found difficult to understand, he would convert them into easy-to-understand language to explain to Zhu Zaigui.
Zhu Zaigui felt a sudden enlightenment as he listened to Lan Daoxing's profound and easy-to-understand theory.
Lan Daoxing's "Xiantian Gong" is divided into three parts. The first part is Qi breathing, which mainly uses the control and adjustment of one's own breathing rhythm to complete the control of one's own body rhythm to achieve a state of emptiness and transcendence.
This part is also very necessary for Zhu Zaigui, because Zhu Zaigui also knows the importance of breath to a person.
Although Zhu Zaigui had never practiced kung fu before traveling through time, he had read a lot of dazzling martial arts novels and novels about cultivating immortals.
The descriptions of martial arts masters in these novels are especially those that almost all follow the routine of long-lasting breath and profound internal strength.
Now the method of breathing and regulating qi that Lan Daoxing taught him, if converted into the context of martial arts novels, isn't this the method of internal strength?
Therefore, Zhu Zaigui was extremely concerned about this method, fearing that he would miss any key points. The second part of Xiantian Gong is some natural movements, which are somewhat similar to Tai Chi, and are a fitness technique that relies on movement exercises. This set of fitness techniques, combined with the Qi-moving and breathing method in the first part, is simply a set of Taoist martial arts that is invincible and extremely profound.
However, this kind of martial arts is definitely not suitable for fighting, but it is very effective for exercising, maintaining health and prolonging life.
Therefore, Zhu Zaigui was extremely concerned about the second part. He asked about every move and asked Lan Daoxing to demonstrate it to him in practice.
It can be said that if Lan Daoxing’s other disciples saw such learning conditions, they would probably be so envious that they would shed tears.
As for the third part of "Xiantian Gong", Zhu Zaigui was not interested.
Because the content of the third part was too abstract, we went straight to talking about the method of becoming an immortal, what the golden elixir was, and what the way of heaven was.
This is obviously a hoax. Zhu Zaigui is not the Jiajing Emperor who was superstitious about Taoist methods of becoming an immortal.
As a modern person who traveled through time, although Zhu Zaigui could not explain why he traveled through time, based on his knowledge in his previous life, he was very clear that all the methods of becoming an immortal were nothing but illusions and a dream.
There cannot be a method in this world that can make people become immortals. If there really is, then why are there only legends of immortals from ancient times to the present, but no trace of immortals?
Therefore, Zhu Zaigui believed that becoming an immortal was nothing more than a fantasy of longevity and freedom for a group of people who had practiced Taoism to the highest level.
Zhu Zaigui would not have any extravagant hopes for such a fantasy.
He just wanted to live a healthy life and witness how many extraordinary figures stepped onto the stage of history and stirred up the ripples of history during the turbulent Jiajing era!
After teaching the third part of "Xiantian Gong", Lan Daoxing also clearly felt Zhu Zaigui's lack of interest.
Obviously Zhu Zaigui was not interested in this illusory method of becoming an immortal.
Zhu Zaigui's performance naturally caught the attention of Lan Daoxing.
Although Lan Daoxing is also a successful Taoist priest, as he practices for a long time, he also feels that becoming an immortal may be just a fantasy, and there may really be no one in this world who can cultivate and become an immortal.
Therefore, Lan Daoxing was shaken and became fascinated by Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind, hoping to gain spiritual liberation from it.
It was precisely because of Lan Daoxing's enthusiasm for Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind that Xu Jie had the opportunity to meet him, after a discussion between the two.
Xu Jie felt that Lan Daoxing was a different Taoist priest, so Xu Jie recommended Lan Daoxing to Chaotian Temple to prepare for the opportunity to ask Emperor Jiajing for advice.
Now Zhu Zaigui also showed his boredom in the path to becoming an immortal, so Lan Daoxing was naturally shocked!
You have to know that Zhu Zaigui is just a thirteen-year-old child. What can a child understand? If someone tells a thirteen-year-old child that he can become an immortal through cultivation, Lan Daoxing can conclude that no matter what the child's aptitude is, he will yearn for it and want to become an immortal.
But Zhu Zaigui had no interest in becoming an immortal. Doesn't this show that Zhu Zaigui was determined and would not be deceived by fantasies?
Isn't it a blessing for the people of the world that a prince who has the opportunity to inherit the throne can have such a steadfast and unshakable character?
At this moment, Lan Daoxing couldn't help but be impressed by Zhu Zaigui's performance. He secretly decided that he would help Zhu Zaigui ascend to the throne and become the supreme being no matter what!
