Chapter 155 - 93: Having Grasped the Magnitude of Heaven and Earth, Yet Still Pity the Lush Grasses and Trees
Chapter 155: Chapter 93: Having Grasped the Magnitude of Heaven and Earth, Yet Still Pity the Lush Grasses and TreesInspector Li knew that after that severe illness, his nephew was like a different person, like a living immortal. In less than a year, the Li family underwent earth-shattering changes under his nephew’s planning.
Having a history of events as proof, Inspector Li certainly understood that if Xu Qing said something with certainty, it must be guaranteed.
He also put his mind at ease.
He didn’t know how much good fortune he had accumulated in his past life to be able to raise Xu Qing.
While everyone hopes their son will become a dragon, in his case, he was simply winning just by following his nephew’s lead.
Though he also lost the pain of climbing step by step, he also gained the joy of rising with every step.
There’s always a loss for every gain.
And it’s not as if he hadn’t suffered; he had indeed faced many hardships raising Qing for the past ten years!
After chatting for a while, Inspector Li secretly took out a sum of silver.
Xu Qing curiously asked, "Uncle, are you planning for me to help you save this private stash of silver?"
Inspector Li shook his head: "I’ve heard that the Recovery Society you formed often assists the poor and teaches reading and writing. These are all expenses, but also acts of kindness and virtue. Your uncle can’t help much, but take this silver to continue doing good deeds. Enjoy the blessings under your name; that’s enough for your uncle."
"Alright, I accept." Xu Qing nodded.
...
...
Returning to the courtyard, Xu Qing’s heart still held some of the warmth from his time with his uncle.
He felt subtly moved.
These days, he was on the verge of breaking through to "Dark Strength" in his Fist Skill and to "Exorcism" with his Divine Soul, just separated by a layer of window paper, always unable to punch through.
The emotional fluctuations tonight seemed to grasp something.
"The path of cultivation not only requires diligence and full dedication, but also a ’moving’ force."
Xu Qing thought of a song.
"This force is iron, this force is steel, harder than iron, stronger than steel..."
Whether it’s "Exorcism" in the Divine Soul or "Dark Strength" in Fist Skill, both actually require a tenacious will to govern.
This will must come from things that move oneself.
Just like a great poet can’t create poetry without being moved, Bai Juyi couldn’t write verses like "Both are strangers in a foreign land; why bother to know each other if we meet?" without such feeling.
"Human is the spirit of all things, with rich emotions. With feelings and desires, life becomes vivid and meaningful; only then does longevity make sense..."
Even when Neo-Confucianism proposes "preserving heavenly principles and quelling human desires," it’s not about annihilating humanity, but emphasizing restraint on excessive desires and not cutting off emotions and desires.
"Basking in the spring, in
As though a realm full of vibrant vitality and competition amongst all beings was about to sprout before his eyes.
"Indeed, where there’s Dao, there’s Skill."
"Last night my Divine Soul broke through, grasping the Dark Strength in Martial Arts, these things are simply not worth mentioning. Last night’s greatest gain was my unintentional entrance into the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, thus influencing the tree brother, bringing forth this sprout of vitality."
The new buds swayed with the branches in the wind, carrying a rhythm of the Dao.
"Alas, it’s not yet profound and concrete enough. Otherwise, my Divine Soul would at least be at the Great Success of Exorcism," Xu Qing somewhat regretted.
He observed the bronze mirror, and indeed the assessment of his Martial Arts had added the content of "Dark Strength." Besides, his Daoist Skill reached the realm of "Exorcism," and even the progress of opening the Ziwei Meridian had advanced several degrees.
