Chapter 1213 Yellow Turban Warrior
As a time traveler, Sun Ce is often a little proud and teased the elites of this era, but he is self-aware and knows that he has no advantages besides some knowledge from later generations. Even if he doesn't talk about the most important Confucian classics of this era, just in terms of IQ, there are a lot of people who can crush him in this era, and in terms of political struggle, power and strategy, there are many people who can tease him in their palms.
Even a fairy like Yu Ji who was swept into the garbage dump of history by later generations, he dared not take it lightly. Not to mention anything else, how many people are still as old as the wind and their physical condition is not inferior to that of young men? He has seen many centenarians in his previous life, but not one of them is as energetic as Yu Ji.
Although he cannot trust the unknown, it is necessary to maintain a little awe. At the banquet, he already suspected that Yu Ji had an mechanism, but he still did not dare to point it out in person. After all, he was not very good at illusions. If Yu Ji used the method he thought, wouldn't it be embarrassing? It was just that there was a young man who pretended to have broken legs and cooperated with Yu Ji's performance. He believed that Yu Ji was a human being but not a god, so he could press forward step by step and gain the upper hand psychologically.
If Yu Ji is really a god, he doesn't need to pretend to be a god or a ghost.
Seeing that Yu Ji had been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, and had extraordinary skills for more than 90 years, he believed that Yu Ji was sincere, so he asked Yu Ji to take a seat and formally communicate. He said it was a communication, but in fact he asked Yu Ji for advice. In this regard, what he knew was very limited.
"Yu Gong, what is Jinsheng Yuzhen?"
"The sound of gold and jade is an external appearance, which means that a person's voice has the essence of gold and jade. It is based on its foundation. It means that the person's vital energy is sufficient and the body is healthy. According to the five elements, the kidney is water, which is the innate qi. If the innate qi is sufficient, the body will be strong. Water produces wood, wood is the liver, and kidney water moistens the liver will make bright eyes. Metal is the lungs, and kidney water feeds the lungs metal, which makes a loud and bright sound, and there is a sound of gold and jade..."
Sun Ce heard Guo Jia explain the story of Jinsheng Yuzhen, but Guo Jia has heard that he has not studied much about this, and the explanation is far less clear than Yu Ji, a practitioner of Taoism. Traditional Chinese medicine, which focuses on the theory of five elements of birth and restraint and internal organs, has declined in later generations and is often denounced as pseudoscience. However, Sun Ce did not think so. Whether pseudoscience may be just a standard issue, but it is real that traditional Chinese medicine can cure diseases and save people. Not to mention that before Western medicine was introduced, even after Western medicine was introduced, traditional Chinese medicine still had room for survival. Looking for traditional Chinese medicine to condition if it is uncomfortable is a normal choice. It will never be regarded as superstitious as burning incense and worshiping Buddha, let alone acupuncture and massage. Medical methods such as medical treatment have even been recognized by the Western medical community.
It cannot be called pseudoscience just because you can't explain it. Whether it is pseudoscience depends on the efficacy. Sun Ce dares not judge whether Yu Ji's explanation is scientific, at least he thinks it makes sense.
"Is it difficult to achieve the golden sound and jade shaking?"
"It is difficult to say it is difficult, not difficult to say it is not difficult. It is related to talent and practice methods. If you have good talent and practice methods, you can basically succeed if you have a hundred days fast or three years slow. However, there are few people with good talent and proper practice methods, so there are less than one person who can truly take this step. Many people have been practicing Taoism for a lifetime, but they cannot overcome this hurdle."
Yu Ji looked at Sun Ce. "The general was extremely talented and had proper practice methods, but your mind was not on practicing Taoism, so you only encountered the threshold of the golden sound and jade throne. It is still unknown whether he could enter the house in this life." He stroked his beard and looked at Sun Ce with a smile. "If I guess correctly, the general practiced the art of room. The art of room is indeed a wonderful method of practicing Taoism, but the danger is beyond other methods. If the heart of Tao is not strong, he will often become a vulgar and end. Generals should be careful."
Sun Ce's old face was hot and he forced himself to calm down. "If the Tao heart is firm and the practice is practiced, can he become an immortal?"
"I dare not assert whether I can become an immortal. It is still possible to be able to become an immortal."
Sun Ce smiled. Tiannian's statements vary, but roughly refers to between 100 and 120 years old. Even in the 21st century when science was prosperous, there were not many people who could live for so long. "Not to mention being able to live for as long as Tiannian, I would be satisfied if I could be as strong as Yu Gong."
"It is naturally a good thing for the general to be content with happiness. However, the age of heaven is only the basis for practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal." Yu Ji put away his smile. "The most important thing in cultivating the world is time. If you follow the way, you will be ordinary, and if you reverse it, you will be immortal. One year after another, one year after another, a total of 128 years old. Only when you are still full of energy and energy at the age of 128 is considered to have truly entered the Taoist sect and have hope of becoming an immortal. Therefore, those who can become immortals in ancient times often have long years. Longevity may not necessarily become immortals, but those who become immortals live long. Why? It is not enough to observe the way of heaven. Even if you practice entering the world, if you die young, there is no way to talk about it. Yao lived for 100 and 17 years, and Shun lived for a hundred years. They were inseparable from becoming saints and longevity."
Sun Ce was skeptical, but he was very obsessed with hearing. Are the theories Yu Ji said right? He dared not assert that he had never seen a real immortal after all, Yu Ji himself had not even really entered the Taoist sect, and he himself had never seen an immortal. But not seeing it does not mean that it does not exist. Of course, it is wrong to admit it easily, and it is not necessary to deny it easily.
Moreover, Yu Ji did not ask him to practice the way of transcendence. He hoped that he would major in the way of transcendence and cultivate the way of transcendence. Cultivating transcendence would make him strong, live longer, and have enough time to practice the way of transcendence. The biggest difficulty in entering the way of transcendence is that people die and political abstinence. Living for a long time is the basic condition for realizing ideals. Yu Ji cited Yao and Shun as an example, but it is also true that most emperors who have made achievements have longevity.
When talking about this purpose, Yu Ji gave another negative example: Zhang Jiao. If Zhang Jiao had not died early, even Huangfu Song might not have been able to defeat him easily. Before Huangfu Song, he had already defeated Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo. If he did not die, he would have defeated Huangfu Song.
Sun Ce was surprised. "Zhang Jiao really has a good fortune?"
"The general has a Yellow Turban general, so he should know that there are many people who are practicing art in the room."
Sun Ce nodded. He knew that the Yellow Turban Army had mixed men and women, so he was ridiculed as dirty. In fact, the Yellow Turban Army was just a common name. Their official name is Taiping Tao, and the classic practice is the "Taiping Sutra". The Taoist practice includes the art of room. Of course, for most people, practicing Taoism is a cover, and greed for the desires of men and women is the truth.
"Zhang Jiao served in the teachings for more than ten years when he was young, and had reached the stage of golden sound and jade. He had nine scepters, and his voice was loud and radiant when he preached, which was quite capable of bewitching people's hearts. In addition, has the general heard of the Yellow Turban Strongman?"
Sun Ce was shocked. He had heard of the Yellow Turban Strongman, but the specific situation was unclear.
"The Yellow Turban Strongman was a disciple that Zhang Jiao took over when he was preaching, and was loyal to Zhang Jiao. These people were not only strong in body and had high martial arts skills, but also had great strength after Zhang Jiao used secret techniques, and were extremely powerful and could not be injured by swords. When the two armies fought, Zhang Jiao often asked the Yellow Turban Strongman to break the enemy's formation first, and then blocked the killing with a large army, and they were invincible. However, these people only heard of Zhang Jiao. Once Zhang Jiao died, they became walking corpses and were soon killed. Without Zhang Jiao's command and without the Yellow Turban Strongman breaking the formation, it was inevitable that the Yellow Turban Strongman would be defeated again and again."
Sun Ce's heart moved. "Yu Gong, what do you mean is that Zhang Jiao's secret technique of practicing the Yellow Turban Strongman comes from the "Taiping Jing"?"
"Yes, but these are all side ways, not real Taoism, and they hurt the way of heaven. I hope the general will not use it."
"So, Yu Gongyou?"
Yu Ji nodded. "If the general needs it, I can write you one hundred and seventy volumes of the "Taiping Jing". The secret technique of refining the Yellow Turban Strongman is in the school-detention volume in the outer chapter."
