Chapter 7: Where is the essence of cultivation?

　　 Listening to what his mother said, the three-year-old slug from Uncle Zhang’s house suddenly appeared in Zhang Bairen’s eyes, and the dirty little girl who followed him all day long.
　　 Looking at his sickly bones, Zhang Bairen shuddered: "Mother, is it too early to say this?"
　　 "Morning? It's not too early, you are four years old now, you can get married at twelve, and your mother at thirteen can hold your grandson, how could it be early?" Mother Zhang turned and gave Zhang Bairen a blank look.
　　 Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly when he heard the words, put down the chicken coop in his hand, and decided not to continue to struggle with this issue.
The Sui and Tang dynasties are not the 21st century. Everything can happen in this world. Early marriage is a common phenomenon, because the Sui and Tang dynasties were sparsely populated. Although the Sui and Tang dynasties were a heyday in Chinese history, the population was less than the previous 20th century. One part.
　　 In this era, there are countless premature deaths due to diet, hygiene, disease and other problems.
　　In this era, doctors are definitely worthy of respect, and good doctors must be bowed for them.
　　 "Sun Simiao"
With a murmur, Zhang Bairen suddenly thought of Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao is the pinnacle of medical skills in this era. He has time to discuss medical techniques with Sun Simiao. There are countless pharmacopoeias in the 21st century and after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. I think Sun Simiao is very interested in these talents. If it can be gathered under his hands, it will surely be able to win over countless dignitaries.
　　 It’s just that Sun Simiao seems to be a Taoist monk. Are Taoist monks so easy to deceive?
　　 "What is Bairen thinking?" Mother Zhang put the chicken coop away, turned around and glanced at Zhang Bairen: "Hurry up and enter the house. Your bones are already weak. If you catch the cold, your mother can't live."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am worried about my mother." Zhang Bairen tightened his clothes, hunting these days, some rabbits, pheasants and other furs were obtained. Zhang mother was ingenious and sewed a piece for Zhang Bairen. Clothes, for the time being, they are clothes, but cloaks are more appropriate.
　　 The house is dim. It was already close to dusk. In ancient times, the house would not have the high transparency of the 21st century.
With dead leaves ignited in the stove, Zhang Bairen sat down slowly, looking at his mother’s thin body, and bitterly said: "I don’t know where my father has gone, leaving a flower-like person like his mother to suffer here. Fortunately, widows and orphans, the folks here are simple and honest. In this world, if there is any accident, maybe this father is too irresponsible."
　　 Zhang Bairen doesn't have the slightest affection for his own father. After all, he is an adult. If he calls a father to someone who has no grace to nurture him, it is definitely more uncomfortable than killing him.
　　 Sitting there, Zhang Bairen began to think about the way of practice. What is the essence of practice?
　　 The essence of practice lies in self-cultivation, and yes, it is self-cultivation and development of one's potential.
　　 As the saying goes, refining Qi is not about refining Qi.
　　 Lianjinghuaqi and Lianjinghuaqi have the same pronunciation, but the meaning is definitely a difference between heaven and earth.
　　 In Taoism, this world is considered to be the world of energy and Qi, and it is not bad to say that it is refined Qi.
　　 But as far as the cultivation is concerned, it should be called the refinement qi.
What is 　　炁? It is the potential of the human body. You can think about the meaning of the word. There are four small teeth under the teeth. What are the small teeth? Call it baby teeth!
　　 Human tooth removal is the transformation of the human body and the function of the potential in the human body. Cultivation is the gathering of this potential and the power of it, which can have incredible power.
　　 In the 21st century, there is evidence that a mother who had been rumored at that time overturned a car and rescued the child under the car. How can a woman have such power?
　　 This is the potential of the human body. It has infinite power. In fact, ordinary people can't develop one billionth of their physical potential until death, so they can only be wasted.
　　 So how do you develop your potential? Potential is elusive, hidden in the porch of the body, how to develop it?
　　 What is a heart-wrenching horse?
　　 Thinking about human consciousness, isn’t it also illusory as well?
　　 Although human consciousness is illusory, it can be felt under normal circumstances. For example, human thinking, etc., are not all consciousness developing?
　　 Use the same vague consciousness to develop the potential of vagueness. This is the meaning of meditation in Taoist practice.
　　 It's a pity, even if you know this, you will not develop your potential because you have no teacher.
　　 The three treasures of Taoism, why list the master as one of them? The key to learning is here.
　　 Sometimes things that you don’t acknowledge may not exist. For example, consciousness. Everyone knows the existence of consciousness because everyone is thinking, but how do you express consciousness?
　　 The so-called materialism has actually deviated from the road.
　　Zhang's mother was cooking porridge on the stove. There were some dry plant roots in the porridge. Zhang Bairen's small face turned white subconsciously, and Zhang's mother on one side chuckled lightly. After cutting off a piece of chicken, he put it into the pot.
　　In this world, the biggest expectation of ordinary people is to be full. They don't dare to pray for good food, as long as they are full, no matter if it is grass roots or leaves, as long as they can be full.
　　 What a simple wish!
　　 It is a pity, even if it is as strong as the Great Sui Empire, it is still difficult to satisfy the simplest wish of the people.
"There is no hybrid rice. Although the 21st Century has reformed and opened up, and the flowers are blooming, everyone may not be able to eat well. It is okay to eat well." Zhang Bairen subconsciously licked his lips while watching the chicken thrown into the pot. He secretly scolded the chicken thief for stealing a pheasant from himself. If he was caught by himself, he had to tell him why the flower was so red.
"Hey, Hebei has a severe drought this year. It would be nice to be able to fill your stomach. You guys are still picky. I don't know how many people change their children to eat..." Mother Zhang sighed softly and sat next to Zhang Bairen. Into the arms.
　　 Zhang Bairen did not speak, but looked at the roof of the thatched hut with a pair of eyes, as if he saw the stars in the void, where there was a spirit of spirit.
　　 "Since there is a God Realm, why is there a severe drought among the people?" This is the doubt in Zhang Bairen's heart.
　　 The atmosphere fell into silence, Zhang's mother slowly stroked Zhang Bairen's forehead, seeming to sink into memories.
　　 After a long time, a fragrance permeated, and Mother Zhang woke up and said: "It's boiling, you go and wait, mother will bring it to you."
　　 Although a lot of grass roots and bark were added to the dinner, Zhang Bairen had to swallow his anger in the stern eyes of Zhang's mother, as if he had finished eating on the battlefield.
　　 Even if the chicken is boiled, the grass root is the grass root, it is not delicious!
　　 "Mother, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, if you remember correctly, the Huai Shui branch is not far away" Zhang Bairen drank the chicken soup and suddenly spoke.
　　 "Well, yes!" Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Bairen suspiciously.
　　 "It's freezing today, everyone, why don't I go ice fishing" Zhang Bairen couldn't help but wonder.
"The Huaishui River is three feet of ice, it is extremely cold. It is not easy to break open." Mother Zhang looked at the north wind of the outside world: "What do you want to do, some food is good, you are weak, tomorrow Don't go up the mountain."
"No, the winter is dead. The medicinal materials that will mature in winter can only be excavated in this cold north wind. These medicinal materials will definitely sell for a good price." Zhang Bairen categorically rejected it, and then said: "Mother, Su Wen The Central Plains are prosperous, and the South is more home to fish and rice. It is always green in all seasons. Why do we suffer in this bitter and cold land instead of going to the Central Plains and the South to enjoy the prosperity."
　　 Mother Zhang smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "This is outside the Great Wall. If you want to enter the customs, you must be guided! We don't have a guide, it is extremely difficult to enter."
　　 "Road guide?" Zhang Bairen was taken aback.
"Although the north is bitterly cold, it is not suffering from wars. Five years ago, the imperial army suddenly came to the outside of the Great Wall and took root here, far away from the Great Wall. Only then did it provoke the nonsense to watch and keep watch! Put us and these refugees into danger, otherwise this bird Wherever he doesn’t shit, the nonsense won’t stay too long! I ran away long ago!
Mother Zhang gritted her teeth and said:
I’m waiting to escape into the barbarian land and stay away from the Central Plains. I never thought it would be difficult to escape the suffering of war.

　　 "Away from the Great Wall?" Zhang Bairen was taken aback: "Doesn't that mean that we are in the abdomen of Turks?"
　　 "It's not the abdomen, it's already close to the abdomen," Mother Zhang sighed slightly.
　　 Zhang Bairen fainted when he heard the words. He thought he was in Hebei before, but now it doesn't seem to be the same.
