Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 221

Wang Shouren came back to his room to write, and called the eldest son, Shouren, out to entertain the guests. Wang Shouren came happily, intending to listen to the teachings of the new champion Cui Shixiong.

Because Ryan Cui did not know the art of war, they could only discuss the classics. Wang Shouren taught the Book of Rites. Ryan Cui had taught his younger brother before, but teaching a mediocre person was different from teaching a genius. He did not dare to fool people with his own half-full bottle of water, so he started to talk about the Four Books.

Ryan Cui was used to teaching his younger brother and two students, so he answered this question smoothly and was not nervous at all. He talked to him freely and told him all the ideas in Zhu Xi and the Four Books.

But the way to teach a genius is different from that of ordinary people. Wang Yangming is not the kind of person who studies for the sake of passing exams, but a person who truly seeks knowledge and truth. He saw that Ryan Cui's explanation was no different from the imperial examination guide book his father brought back, and he found it boring, so he took the initiative to ask: "I just saw the breathing chart that Brother Cui drew, which seems to be different from the method of resting and maintaining health that ordinary Taoists and alchemists talk about."

Ryan Cui smiled and said, "Sitting quietly to recuperate, breathing and practicing Qi are the Taoist methods for longevity. My Qi-cultivation method does not seek longevity, but only seeks to strengthen the body and generate strength, so Qi must be cultivated in motion. You see those who meditate and practice 'inhale, exhale, exhale, and hee', which also expand the chest and lungs, expel the old and take in the new. When the Qi in the body is deep, the body will naturally be healthy. My method of running to practice Qi-cultivation can move the limbs and bones in addition to breathing, and the blood vessels, muscles and bones will be bathed in the fresh air you inhale, and the body will naturally be stronger."
