Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…………

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast and desolate. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged. Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides. The leap years are more than a year old, and the laws of Lu adjust the sun. The clouds make rain, and the dew turns into frost. ..., ... "

Yu Liang held in his hand the "Thousand-Character Essay" written by the great Confucian himself and studied it word by word.

As he concentrated on observing, the words seemed to be injected with life, like smart insects, one by one they jumped on the paper and then wormed their way into his mind.

In his mind, a magnificent scene described by "The Thousand Character Essay" appeared:

The sky is blue and black, the earth is yellow, the sun and moon alternate, and the stars line up. Cold comes and summer comes, the years go by, and the twelve rhythms of the harmony of heaven and earth play in this alternation of yin and yang.

The clouds rise and the rain falls, and the dew turns into frost...

These vivid pictures, like real natural scenes, unfolded in his mind one by one.

When the pictures depicted by all the words emerged in his mind one by one, these pictures began to twist and change, and finally turned into words, which were deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Is this the foundation of literature?"

Yu Liang slowly put down the "Thousand Character Essay" in his hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, immersed in this wonderful experience.

He seemed to be able to feel the power contained in those words.

"Use words to write down the insights of life, the rhythm of nature, the laws of heaven and earth!"

After a while, he opened his eyes, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a poem:

"A general is born to be brave and courageous, with a Qishui Yanfei saber across his waist."

As the pen tip beat on the paper, every handwriting seemed to be given life, and a vivid picture emerged in Yu Liang's mind:

A mighty general stood on the battlefield. He was wearing armor, his eyes were like torches, and a wild goose feather sword as bright as autumn water hung across his waist. His heroic ambition seemed to soar into the sky.

Yu Liang slowly closed his eyes.

In the quiet environment, his breathing gradually synchronized with the surrounding environment, and his mind gradually became better.

Time seems to have lost its meaning here. Yu Liang is immersed in this wonderful realization, feeling the shock brought by every word.

He seemed to be able to touch the soul of the general through these words and feel the majesty and momentum in him.

Unknowingly, Yu Liang began to exude a majesty and momentum similar to that of the general.

There was an inviolable awe in his brows, as if he had become a general commanding thousands of troops, ready to cut off all obstacles with his sword at any time.

This majesty and momentum were not deliberately imitated or pretended, but were naturally exuded after he realized the power of literature and art.

At this moment, Yu Liang felt as if he had merged with the general, galloping together on the vast battlefield.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with an unprecedented light.

"Is this the power of literature?"

Ta~ta~ta~

Just as Yu Liang was deep in thought, footsteps came from the door of the bookstore.

He put down the book and looked up.

I saw three women walking towards me.

Among the three people, the young lady in the middle is dressed plainly, but judging from the material of her clothes and the temperament she exudes, she is obviously rich or noble. Even the two maids accompanying her look different.

Although Yu Liang was confused, it was rare to have a customer in such a remote and simple bookstore. How could such a customer come today?

But he immediately organized his thoughts, stood up, and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Welcome, the store is newly opened and the books are not yet complete..." Yu Liang greeted politely.

Before he finished speaking, the rich lady interrupted him softly. She took out a rolled-up piece of paper from her wide sleeves and handed it to Yu Liang.

He asked in that clear and sweet voice, as sweet as a silver bell:

"Did you keep this poem?"

Yu Liang took the manuscript and unfolded it. What was recorded on it was the poem he wrote after watching a poetry meeting in a restaurant when he first arrived here.

【Who will cut the Yitian Sword to create the Yitian Peak? The water is rushing behind you, and the other mountains are facing each other. The trees are green and misty, and the cliffs are covered with thick white clouds. It rained heavily all night, and a poisonous dragon appeared in front of us. 】

Uh~

Just when Yu Liang was thinking about how to answer.

The other party spoke again: "I have investigated before coming here. This poem has not been handed down before. It must have been written by a hermit."

"As long as you can introduce me or tell me some information about this hermit, I will give you a generous reward."

Hearing this, Yu Liang shook his head with some regret and replied:

"I'm sorry, I actually found this poem by accident on a stone. I don't know who the author of this poem is."

Hearing this, the lady nodded thoughtfully and whispered to herself: "Poems are carved on stone."

Then he asked Yu Liang: "Where did you see that stone?"

Yu Liang did not answer this question directly.

Seeing this, the other party said: "Tell me, I will not miss out on your benefits."

As she spoke, a maid next to her took out a money bag and threw it directly to Yu Liang.

Yu Liang weighed it with his hands, listened to the sound of money rattling in the money bag, and then said with a smile: "Huashan!"

Hearing the name Huashan, the woman thought for a moment, then nodded in approval:

"Well, that's right. This poem must have been written by the hermit on a whim when he was traveling in Huashan, and then he casually carved it on the stone beside him."

After saying that, she took her two maids and left Yu Liang's bookstore again.

After watching them leave, Yu Liang opened the money bag in his hand and found that there were more than twenty taels of gold in it.

"rich!"

Yu Liang couldn't help but sigh at the other party's generosity.

"I happened to be short of money to buy books, now I have money!"

To be honest, with Yu Liang's ability, he should not be short of money.

But in order to keep a low profile, he tried his best to maintain his persona as an ordinary person and acted in a low-key manner.

Since arriving here, the only high-profile thing I have done is probably the poem I left in the restaurant when I first arrived.

Yu Liang returned to the counter.

Then I picked up the Thousand Character Essay again.

This kind of manuscript written by a great Confucian scholar not only helps to build the foundation of literature and art, but also assists in the practice of literature and art.

The process of mobilizing and releasing the power of literature is a mysterious process that combines spirit and words. It involves the practitioner's deep understanding and realization of words.

first.

Understanding texts: In-depth study and understanding of specific texts or passages. These texts contain profound truths. Resonate with words by understanding the meaning behind them.

Spiritual resonance: When the understanding of words reaches a certain level, the spirit will resonate with the power contained in the words.

Gathering of power: Through continuous resonance and realization, the power of Wen Dao begins to gather in the body. The strength of the text depends on the depth of understanding of the text.

Guidance by thoughts: When the power of Wen Dao accumulates in the body to a certain extent, guide the release of this power through thoughts.

Word Externalization: Externalize this power by writing, reciting, or silently chanting specific words. These words become a carrier of power, conveying the practitioner's thoughts to the outside world.

Power release: With the release of words, the power of literature will also act on the target object or environment. This power may manifest as healing, protection, enlightenment, or other forms of influence, depending on the intent and the words used.
