Chapter 133: Talking about Immortality by the Weiming Lake
Early in the morning, Cheng Xuyuan woke up from his sleep.
I took out the watch from under the pillow and, with the help of the dim light, I saw that the time was only half past five.
At 5:30 in the morning, Cheng Xuyuan quickly got dressed.
According to Cheng Xuyuan's personality, he actually doesn't like to get up early.
But his stomach, which rebelled from time to time, made him afraid to stay in bed for too long.
It has been more than ten days since the start of school. A series of activities have been held, including a simple yet grand opening ceremony and the start of classes. Cheng Xuyuan's biggest feeling is that the toilets in the morning are too crowded.
If you are unlucky, you will have to wait in line outside.
It’s easy at other times, but once your stomach rebels, it’s troublesome.
After experiencing five minutes of agony outside the squatting position, Cheng Xuyuan tried to get up a little earlier every morning.
After tidying himself up, Cheng Xuyuan put on his shoes and walked downstairs.
At this time in the dormitory, many students have already started to get up.
When Cheng Xuyuan walked down the dormitory building, he heard someone reciting in the distance.
The sound of reciting was not loud, but in the early morning when it was still dark, it could be heard from far away.
Although he didn't know what the classmate standing under the dim street light was reciting, Cheng Xuyuan's heart was full of admiration.
Although the school had just started, Cheng Xuyuan was still touched by the learning spirit of these classmates.
Almost all the students were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
I basically get up around six o'clock every day, and then, apart from eating, I study.
The library is always the most popular place. If you go too late, there will be no room at all.
Cheng Xuyuan felt ashamed when thinking about his experience as a student at a second-tier university.
At that time, the school library was not only spacious and bright, but also well-equipped with complete facilities.
Heating and air conditioning, warm in winter and cool in summer! However, it doesn't matter, not many people learn it.
But neither I nor my classmates go to the library very often.
Cheng Xuyuan got up so early not to study, but to run.
The experience of two lifetimes told him that without a good body, everything is zero.
Therefore, his first task every morning is running.
After running for half an hour to get my body moving, I go to eat and then start my study for the day.
Cheng Xuyuan felt that living in the school was very inconvenient, but in the short term, he did not want to move back to the staff quarters of the Chengnan District Writers Association.
Because here, there are also many conveniences.
For example, eating, looking for books, chatting with classmates...
Following the path on campus, Cheng Xuyuan ran towards the direction of Weiming Lake. Along the way, Cheng Xuyuan met many students who were reciting their lessons while running.
Cheng Xuyuan never reads when he runs. He runs just to exercise his body.
After his rebirth, he wanted to enjoy life, and he absolutely could not let life enjoy him...
He writes to earn money in order to enjoy life, and he goes out for a run in the morning to enjoy life better...
More than 20 minutes later, Cheng Xuyuan, who had already run to the shore of Weiming Lake, stopped.
I'm already sweating after running all the way. If I continue running, it won't have much effect except putting a burden on my body.
But he was not going to stop. After walking slowly for a few steps, he began to practice the health-preserving Tai Chi that he had learned in his previous life.
In his previous life, he practiced and discarded this set of health-preserving boxing techniques.
Now that he has returned to school and started a regular life, Cheng Xuyuan has started to pick up this set of boxing techniques as a supplement to his running exercises.
His experience in his previous life told him that making money is very important in life.
But compared to making money, being able to enjoy the money you earn is more important.
The health-preserving Tai Chi is praised by so many people. Instead of practicing it when you are old, it is better to practice it more often on weekdays.
"As the momentum rises, the wild horse spreads its mane, the white crane spreads its wings..."
Cheng Xuyuan's Tai Chi is purely common stuff learned from the Internet. In his previous life, he didn't practice it well enough, so now he just uses it to exercise his body.
As for using it to compete with others, that is even more impossible.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was enjoying the pleasure of exercising, he heard someone say, "You are just practicing Tai Chi blindly."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties standing not far away.
Judging from his appearance, he is here to exercise.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know who this old man was, but since he could come to the vicinity of Weiming Lake so early, he must be either a school teacher or a family member.
He didn't want to argue about this, so he smiled and said, "I was just practicing randomly in order to eat more in the morning."
This is already a sign of weakness, which means everything you said is right.
Generally speaking, at this point, the person who pointed out the mistake should not say anything more.
However, this short-headed old man seemed to be angry.
He looked at Cheng Xuyuan and snorted, "Young man, I'm doing this for your own good. If you practice like this, not only will you not be able to grasp the essence of Tai Chi, but it will look more and more like dancing."
"I know you are practicing boxing, but those who don't know would think you are dancing!"
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless. I already said that I practiced Tai Chi in order to eat more. Do you have to continue to tell me what to do?
Since his rebirth, Cheng Xuyuan has told himself that everything should be peaceful.
But in fact, he still has some bad temper.
"From what you said, I can see that you have done a lot of research on Tai Chi. So, what does it take to be considered a good Tai Chi practitioner?"
The old man could hear the dissatisfaction in Cheng Xuyuan's words. He snorted and said, "For beginners, Tai Chi should really be practiced one move at a time."
"Once you have mastered it, you will not be bound by the moves. The essence of it is to do whatever you want."
"Your Tai Chi looks good, but I think it's so soft and silly. It's ridiculous to watch."
Cheng Xuyuan chuckled and said, "Old sir, when I first heard you say that, I thought you had done a lot of research in this area!"
"It turns out you're not much better than me."
"I once heard someone say that when practicing boxing, at the beginning, it is just like what you said, but after doing whatever you want, you have to return to the basics."
"What does it mean to return to nature? It means to see the mountains as mountains and the water as water. What do you think?"
The skinny old man felt his face turn red after hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said.
He had just given Cheng Xuyuan some advice, but was ridiculed by the person involved. He said that his level was not high enough, so how could he endure this?
He said immediately: "I didn't expect that you are not very good at boxing, but you still have such a set of words."
"Then tell me, what happens after returning to nature?"
If he had asked any other question, Cheng Xuyuan might have been stumped, but how could Cheng Xuyuan, who had read countless martial arts novels in his previous life, be stumped by this question?
He smiled and said, "After returning to nature, nature and man are one."
"Harmony between man and nature means integrating boxing with the surrounding environment, bringing everything under one's control..."
Hearing the words "harmony between man and nature", the old man frowned and said, "harmony between man and nature, that does make sense."
"What happens after heaven and man become one?"
After a round of exercise, Cheng Xuyuan had nothing to do, so he smiled and said, "After achieving unity between heaven and man, one will break through the void and transcend the material world..."
What is Shattered Void? Is there really such a thing as transcendence? Although the old man is old, his brain is still very powerful.
He quickly realized that the young man in front of him was talking nonsense to him seriously.
"What happens after you transcend the material world?" The old gentleman continued to ask after finding the young student interesting.
Can't you talk nonsense? Then go on.
Haha, it’s easy to continue! “After transcending the material world, you will enter a new mode of cultivation. The beginning of this mode is to build the foundation…”
Feeling that Qi training seemed a bit too low-level, Cheng Xuyuan chose to start directly from foundation building.
"Foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul..."
The realm of cultivation in later novels was directly brought out by Cheng Xuyuan.
Listening to these things, although the old man knew very well that Cheng Xuyuan was talking nonsense, he felt that what he said seemed to make some sense.
After all, some things seem to be from books I read before, and there are some references to them.
"What does your golden elixir mean?" asked the old man.
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at his watch and found that the time was already seven o'clock.
If we don't go to eat now, the corn porridge will be finished, so Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Old man, it's time to go to eat."
"We'll talk later."
The old man was listening with great interest. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan was about to leave, he stopped him and said, "Finish your words before you leave!"
"No, I'm too hungry. If I don't eat, something will go wrong."
"Besides, there is so much to say next. You can digest what I have said first. If you want to listen more, we can meet here tomorrow."
As Cheng Xuyuan spoke, he walked out.
"What's your name?" The old man no longer stopped Cheng Xuyuan, but became concerned about Cheng Xuyuan's name.
Can you tell me my name? Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I am Chen Jianxun from the Chinese Department of 77."
After saying that, he ran towards the cafeteria.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan leaving, the old man shook his head, but he also remembered Chen Jianxun, the freshman in the Chinese Department.
Be prepared to have a good chat with this interesting young man.
After taking a walk, the old man returned to his home in Yannan Garden.
After eating porridge with pickles, the old man prepared to read a book. A middle-aged man came over and said, "Teacher, we are going to Yanjing Literature and Art to attend the seminar on "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"."
The old man slapped his head and said, "Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it!"
"When I woke up this morning, I was still thinking about it, but after chatting with a little guy for a while, I forgot about it."
"Then let's go now."
"I really want to meet the young man who wrote The Pursuit of Happyness."
Hearing the teacher's words, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Teacher, Yenching Literature and Art has invested a lot in this seminar."
"I heard that several famous artists were invited."
"Tsk tsk, I heard that even Elder Wan is participating."
The old man nodded and said, "It's a good thing to see more old friends."
"By the way, can you help me find someone, Chen Jianxun from the Chinese Department, Class of 1977."
Although the middle-aged man didn't know why the teacher wanted to inquire about this person, he still nodded and wrote it down.
