But if this book was left for me, did I meet Mr. Yangming first and then he left the book, or did he leave the book so I could meet him?

This seems like a paradox...

An Qisheng held the yellowed ancient book, his heart unable to calm down.

After his mind calmed down, he put down the book, went to the bathroom to wash away non-existent dirt, and changed his clothes.

Only then did he carefully pick up the book again.

"I should have burned incense, bathed, and washed my hands, but conditions are limited."

An Qisheng sat upright, reopened the yellowed book, and the first sentence of the opening chapter came into view:

【Before you see this book, this book is as silent as your heart. When you see this book, the words on it will come alive, and this book is in your heart.......】

An Qisheng was stunned for a moment. He also knew the origin of this sentence, which was one of Mr. Yangming's deeds.

When he first got it in that dark room, he had glanced at it roughly. At that time, he felt nothing, but now when he looked at it again, his heart was deeply touched.

This was simply said to him.

"This handwritten book is really left for me..."

An Qisheng steadied his mind and continued to read.

........Confucianism, Buddhism, Laoism, and Zhuangism are all used by my heart, but when studying the sages, there must be no sages in the heart. Clay sculptures and wooden figures are only in temples, and must never be placed in the heart.......The heart is the body of the universe, the master of all things, the foundation of life, and the measure of right and wrong. My way is to attain innate knowledge, to unify knowledge and action, the mind is principle........

The unity of knowledge and action, now thinking about it, the word "unity" is also superfluous, knowledge and action are originally one.......】

There were not many words on the yellowed book, but An Qisheng looked at it extremely slowly.

Whenever the words flashed through his mind, it was as if he saw the figure of the old man with a thin face and gray hair.

The old man was either walking or sitting, or writing at his desk, or holding a book, enjoying himself with a gourd of water and a basket of rice.

Gradually, An Qisheng became entranced.

In his heart, it seemed that light was budding, impurities disappeared, and slowly it became like colored glaze, reflecting everything outside.

Planting trees requires cultivating roots, and cultivating the mind requires nourishing the body first........

Autumn night of Kaiyuan 8764,

A casual note to a friend, Wang Shouren】

End of the scroll.

"Cultivation is being a person, attaining innate knowledge, the mind is principle, unifying knowledge and action....... This is the master's Dao!"

After a long time, An Qisheng closed the ancient book and carefully put it in his arms, keeping it close to his body.

There were more than a thousand words on the ancient book, none of which talked about cultivation, but in his opinion, every word was cultivation.

Only a thousand words, but it had already stated the master's lifelong learning, the essence of mind learning, and the essence of cultivation.

It had already solved all his previous doubts.

Heart to heart, that's how it is.

It was much more magical than the legendary empowerment!

An Qisheng stood up. He had not slept all night, but his spirit was extremely good. It seemed that something was sprouting and budding in his heart.

The heart is the seed, and the various Daos are the nutrients, so it can grow into a towering tree.

Swish~

He pulled open the curtains, the sky was gradually brightening, a round of red sun was rising slowly between the clouds, and the morning glow broke through the dawn, illuminating the earth.

"This heart is bright, what else is there to say!"

An Qisheng's heart was very quiet.

At the time when the great sun was rising, it seemed that a sun was also rising in his heart, its light breaking through the haze, and a piece of clarity was like colored glaze.

All kinds of knowledge learned in the past emerged in his mind.

The heart is like a bright mirror, reflecting all doubts, and various insights constantly arise.

An unprecedented sense of ease spread from his heart, and then reached his hands and feet, and every subtle part of his body, as if water and milk were blended, and as if heavy shackles had been removed.

With a close of his eyes, under the reflection of a clear heart, all the doubts of the past seemed to have been answered.

Hu!

With a thought, he started practicing boxing in this narrow hotel room.

With a move of his feet, he was as agile as a leopard, as heavy as a bear, and as majestic as a tiger.......

Just by stepping, the various things he had learned in the past, such as the horse stance, snake step, chicken step, monkey step, rat form, etc., were naturally integrated into his footsteps.

Hu!

He raised his arm and pressed forward, joints crackling. With a grab of his fingers, the air seemed to flow through his fingers like water.

Fist, palm, finger.

In an instant, he changed dozens of fist, palm, and finger techniques in his hands, such as Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, Taijiquan, Eagle Claw Fist, Gumen Xinyiquan, Imitation Boxing, Dragon Form Boxing, etc., were all readily available.

With a thought, his strength reached his whole body, and all kinds of boxing routines were spread out.

Flowing like clouds and water when launched, and disappearing like clouds and flowing wind when withdrawn.

It was indescribably easy, freehand, and natural.

An Qisheng found it difficult to describe his current feeling, as if a person who had been foolish for many years suddenly became enlightened, or as if his body had disappeared and his mind was operating spontaneously.

The boxing techniques that he had learned and seen, whether he was proficient or not, suddenly reached an extremely high level.

For example, it's like usually seeing others making some fancy movements, and you feel it's simple at a glance, as if you've learned it, but when you really operate it, it's extremely difficult.

So, have you learned it, or have you not learned it?

In fact, you have already learned it, but the brain knows it, and the body wants to use it, but it still has to convey countless complex instructions, mobilize the bones and muscles of the whole body, countless cells, and countless nerve nodes,

To be able to make such movements.

But for An Qisheng at this time, the limitations of the body seemed to not exist.

The boxing routines, techniques, and movements that he was proficient in or not proficient in, even if he had only seen them a few times and had not practiced them.

As long as they appeared on this 'bright mirror' in his heart, he could learn, display, be proficient, and master them in an instant!

It was as if he had a cheat!

Huhu~~~

The more An Qisheng practiced, the happier he became, the more hearty and uninhibited he became. Without using any strength, his body naturally exuded a pleasant taste.

His movements were slow and fast, and he wandered within inches without touching anything, as if his whole body was eyes.

Hu!

After a long time, An Qisheng stopped and quietly realized this feeling.

"If I can maintain this state at all times, no matter what kind of unparalleled talent, they will definitely not be able to compare with me!"

An Qisheng's eyes were extremely bright.

This ancient book could not make him advance by leaps and bounds in an instant, reach the Embracing Oneness or even the Seeing Divinity realm, but this benefit was even more shocking to him than a huge improvement.

At the same time, he also understood what the heart learning meant when it said that the heart is the body of the universe and the master of all things.

"No wonder the master can master Confucianism, Buddhism, Laoism, and Zhuangism. If the heart knows, then the body moves. This kind of ability is used for learning, it's simply terrifying."

An Qisheng's heart rippled:

"For me, it's an unparalleled divine skill!"

His ability to enter dreams can learn countless boxing techniques and knowledge, but the learning progress is still limited by his own learning efficiency. A boxing technique takes others ten or eight years to learn, and it's impossible for him to master it in a few days.

But as long as the 'bright mirror' in his heart hangs high, his learning efficiency is more than a thousand times that of ordinary people?

Learning boxing for one day can be compared to three years of hard training for others!

This is not mind learning at all, it's simply a cheat!
