Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire!

721 Method

The drizzle was now as light as a spray. Moreover, after eating breakfast, Ye Xuan’s body felt warm. Sitting here and drinking hot tea in the cold wind was really charming.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. Ye Xuan looked at the sky and knew that today should be a sunny day through the calculations of the laws of nature. However, it would only be sunny close to noon.

If the rain lasted longer than noon, it meant that it would rain for an entire day today.

Dark clouds covered the sun. It didn’t mean that the sun hadn’t come out. It was just that the sun had been blocked. It was like a layer of black cloth placed horizontally between the ground and the sun, covering it tightly.

Therefore, it was normal for there to be rain in the morning. It was also normal for it to rain heavily at night. After all, before the sun rose, the dark clouds would not dry and the wind would not disperse them, so there was rain.

However, it was different during the day. During the day, there would be the sun. The heat of the sun could clear the dark clouds and dissipate them.

The sun was most intense at noon. It was enough to clear most of the dark clouds, unless they were especially thick.

From this, it could be seen that if it continued to rain even after noon, it would definitely last for a day.

Even the sun at noon could not dissipate it, let alone the afternoon sun.

Time was the law of the world. It was very important. The ancient people had studied this truth very thoroughly, so many things could be born. It was just that people didn’t understand it.

After all, it was too obscure and unbelievable.

The four seasons formed the established laws. One could understand the laws of the world. Then, one would naturally be able to understand many things in-depth and derive many things. For example, planting in the four seasons was a planting strategy born because one knew the laws of the world. It was the 24 solar terms that allowed people to know how and when to sow seeds.

There was no need to mention the fact that more profound things, such as various Daoist things, actually came from this.

By observing the changes in the world, one could obtain the Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams. Although the Eight Trigrams were researched by Fuxi after reading the River Chart and the Book of Luo, one thing was missing. It was because of the symbol of the River Chart and the Book of Luo that the changes in the world were recorded. The Eight Trigrams recorded the laws of the changes in the world and the many phenomena in the world.

Once one understood the law of how things worked, one could understand many things very thoroughly. From the fate of the country to the lives of all living beings, people were just a part of all living beings. They couldn’t break away from this law, and they couldn’t escape the cycle of reincarnation. This was fate.

However, fortunately, humans were intelligent and obtained the strategies left behind by these gods. Thus, humans were luckier than any creature because they could reach the maximum level earlier.

Ye Xuan looked at the sky and couldn’t help but fall into a daze. He thought about many things and sighed. Then, he retracted his thoughts and got up to find an ancient book in the study. He then returned to the balcony to read it.

He drank tea, read books, and listened to the rain. This was enjoyable.

Reading books would give people a very peaceful feeling. It would make one’s entire heart calm down and no longer be impetuous. Only when one’s heart was calm would one be able to understand many things.

This was the logic of meditation. Those who didn’t believe it could give it a try. If they encountered a problem, they wouldn’t be able to think of a truly appropriate solution if they kept panicking. However, when they meditated and calmed themselves down, they would think of many reliable methods.

It was the same feeling as when one lay in bed and was going to fall asleep. One would close their eyes and gather their thoughts, waiting for sleepiness to sweep over them before falling asleep. Before sleepiness swept over them, distracting thoughts might appear and one’s imagination might run wild. They would think along these distracting thoughts and think about many things. They would discover that they were so clear.

One could think of many things and fantasize about life, but when one sat up and wanted to record such things, they might forget them in an instant.

This was because one’s five senses were released and one had suddenly relaxed their mind. It was like a bottle with five holes. No matter how much water one contained, the water would leak.

However, if the holes were blocked, the water would not leak. This was the benefit of meditation and meticulousness. If one blocked the five holes, all their energy and spirit would be focused in their mind. That way, they would discover many different feelings.

Silence didn’t make people uncomfortable. Instead, it made people feel comfortable. If one found that their silence was uncomfortable and made them uneasy, it meant that they hadn’t completely calmed down.

When one achieved true silence, one could sit alone by the river for three days and three nights without feeling bored or restless. Moreover, it would be especially gentle and comfortable.

If one was impetuous and started playing with their cell phone, they would feel uneasy after putting it down for a few minutes. They always wanted to do something. They wanted to move around and couldn’t calm down.

Their hearts would keep feeling hungry. There was something missing and they couldn’t enrich themselves. It was very uncomfortable.

This was actually very bad. Learning how to accept silence, and learning to calm down and read more ancient books was very good for one’s body and mind.

Ancient books were not necessarily boring. Many modern books made a lot of sense, but compared to ancient books that had been refined for a thousand years, they were indeed less thorough.

For example, books like the Popular Collection of Traditional Chinese Wise Sayings and the Caigentan taught many people many principles. These principles had been recorded for thousands of years.

They were very useful and made people understand.

The ancient book Ye Xuan was reading now was the Tao Te Ching. Everyone knew about this book, but many people had only heard of it and didn’t know what it was about.

Laozi talked about the Dao, the world, and even more about people. He talked about big things like the world to small things like human relationships. There were all kinds of things.

Moreover, this book could make one very intelligent. It could make one’s thinking methods more active and broad.

If one could study this book for a long time, their thoughts and wisdom would be greatly developed. It could also stimulate more comprehension.

Comprehension was different from intelligence. No matter how smart a person was, they might not have comprehension. No matter how stupid a person was, their comprehension might be ridiculously high.

Comprehension might be the standard to measure intelligence. Whether a person had intelligence or not depended on whether their comprehension was high. However, what was comprehension?

From Ye Xuan’s point of view, comprehension might just be a thought. When he was looking at something, a thought would suddenly burst out in his mind. This thought was connected to other things. It was a useful thought that could make up for many things.

It was like a bridge. Others would tell one that their destination was on the other side of the bridge, but no one would ever tell one that this bridge was broken.

When one arrived, they wouldn’t know what to do. After asking around, no one was willing to help build a bridge or teach them anything.
