Han Fei had only entered the 'Calm' state by chance, which was a short-lived phenomenon.

However, since he had already stepped into it, as long as he continued to be " sincere," he would step into it again sooner or later until he stabilized at the " settled " realm.

In the future, Zhang Liang should be able to stabilize in the "still" realm, so it seemed like he could predict everything in advance.

The so-called " the path of utmost sincerity allows one to know in advance " did not really mean that one could see the future through time and space.

Instead, it was " the spirit of the human heart knows everything, and everything in the world has a reason." The human heart had the ability to recognize, and everything had a certain reason.

In the state of 'calm', one's sincere and righteous heart could predict what would happen in the future based on the known situation and the principles of things!

This also verified the principle of " the heart is reason " in " The Study of the Heart ". As long as one kept " restraining the heart " and kept the heart in a state of being neither evil nor evil, one could " fully express one's nature "!

That was why there was a saying in the Doctrine of the Middle: " When misfortune and fortune are about to arrive, good must be known in advance. When bad is about to happen, good must be known in advance." Therefore, he is as sincere as a god."

He could predict misfortune and fortune in advance. Sincerity was as subtle and magical as a god!

……

Gao Jing was busy gathering his thoughts and making his chaotic heart return to normal.

Han Fei looked at him in surprise and asked,""How did Little Uncle-Master know what I saw?”

Gao Jing was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he waited for his mind to be "straight" again before he said," You wholeheartedly want to save Korea, and for this, you even entered the 'fixation'. It can be seen that you are sincere…

The question is, can Korea save them?"

After a moment of silence, Han Fei shrugged and said casually,""Little Uncle-Master is right, but whether he can be saved or not, we have to try.”

Gao Jing sighed." So, I'm not surprised that you'll die."”

Knowing that it was impossible to do it, this was boldness and broad-mindedness!

No wonder Han Fei was able to enter the 'fixed'.

Han Fei rolled his eyes and changed the topic.""Little Uncle-Master, do you think there is a power that surpasses mortals in the world that controls fate?”

"What does this have to do with me?" Gao Jing raised his eyebrows and laughed.”

Han Fei was puzzled.”

Gao Jing shook his head and said," My heart is the 'Heavenly Axiom'. There is nothing outside my heart, so I don't ask for it from outside. Therefore, whether I have this kind of power or not has nothing to do with me. I will only act according to my heart, with my conscience, and with the unity of knowledge and action!”

"This is Little Uncle-Master's 'Heart Technique'? It's a little like the concept of the Daoist sect…"

Han Fei thought for a moment and then said with emotion,"" When I heard Youngest Uncle talk about the study of the heart, I thought it was all nonsense. Now I realize that the study of the heart is as cold as water and as hot as fire…"

With that, Han Fei stared at Gao Jing and suddenly handed the wine pot forward.""Little Uncle-Master, do you want to drink with me?”

Gao Jing looked at him strangely.”

Han Fei asked, Little Uncle, you actually want to drink it too, right? Since his heart…no, his mind was moved, why didn't he drink it?”

Gao Jing stopped licking his lips and said with a bitter face,""My state of mind isn't enough, and I'm still in the stage of 'self-restraining', so of course I have to restrain my' will'!”

Han Fei suddenly realized, It's like Youngest Uncle is very interested in martial arts but never learns it.”

Gao Jing nodded.”

The Confucians demanded self-restraint in order to reduce unnecessary distractions.

Once he had stabilized his state of mind, there would be no need for him to do this.

……

Even when it came to reading, there was a saying in the Disciples 'Rules: There are three ways to read: heart, mind, mouth and faith.

Modern people believed that books were easier to read when they were arranged horizontally.

In fact, it was easy for people to read ten lines at a glance, especially those novels. When they read the first sentence, their peripheral vision would have already swept through the entire paragraph.

It was still better to read vertically. Only by reading vertically could one's eyes stare at every word!

The Confucian school had six arts, but Gao Jing had not learned any of them.

She was reading every day, and she was sincere.

Of course, Gao Jing did have some leisure time. In his spare time, he had learned how to play chess. He was not very good at playing, but he was beaten up by Master Xun every day.

Therefore, Master Xun liked to play chess with Gao Jing.

……

"Pa da!"

Master Xun pressed down on a flag and asked,""Little Junior Brother's studies have been getting better recently.”

Whether or not he had really immersed himself in reading, he could tell by listening to the sound of reading.

Gao Jing's voice was catchy when he was reading. It didn't make people feel annoyed at all. Instead, it could calm people's hearts. This was the charm of reading.

Gao Jing's book had countless modern joseki Go manuals, but he had never read them. He only played with his own abilities.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Jing placed a piece and said,""I barely managed to stabilize the heart monkey and tie the psyche horse.”

"A restless heart?" Little Junior Brother's words were always so incisive and logical. What books have you been reading recently?”

"Six Secret Arts," Gao Jing followed.

Without giving Gao Jing any time to think, Master Xun placed another stone."The art of war? Any insights?"

Gao Jing was stumped. He stared at the chessboard and thought for a while before saying casually,"It doesn't matter if the weak wins against the strong. In general, it's just bullying the weak and fighting with numbers.”

"Oh?" Master Xun raised his head in surprise and asked,""Junior Brother, how do you explain this?"

Not only Master Xun, but also Han Fei and Li Si looked at Gao Jing in surprise.

To defeat the strong with the weak, to defeat the many with the few, this had always been the pride of the militarists.

"Six Tao" was written by Jiang Ziya, which is divided into Wen Tao, Wu Tao, Long Tao, Hu Tao, Leopard Tao and Dog Tao.

Gao Jing raised his head and glanced at Master Xun, then he simply messed up the chessboard…

Xun Fucius accidentally pulled out another strand of his beard. He looked unhappy…He was about to win this game of chess!

Without giving him a chance to speak, Gao Jing took out ten white chess pieces and five black chess pieces. Then, he divided the white chess pieces one by one and explained,

" To put it simply, the enemy has ten, and we have five. We definitely can't defeat them in a head-on fight. Then, we'll use various methods to divide the enemy's forces…"

Divide the ten white pieces into one, two, three, and four pieces.

" With five on our side, we will attack four on the enemy. With the advantage, we will defeat the enemy and lose one and four on our side..."

"Then, we will use four of our forces to attack three of the enemy's forces. With the same advantage, we will win and lose one of the remaining three…"

" And so on, three against two, two against one…The battle has been decided. Overall, it seems that the weak are winning against the strong, but if you look closely, it's just the strong bullying the weak.”

Xun Fucius, Han Fei, and Li Si all put their heads on the chessboard, frowning and thinking carefully.

"Of course, this is only in general. A battle formation is complicated. Other than the number of people, there are also armaments, morale, terrain, weather, logistics, and so on…However, the difference between the strong and the weak is not just the number of people.”

" Therefore, the so-called 'defeating the strong with the weak' can actually be said to be turning the weak into the strong, and then using the strong to fight the weak..."

After a long time, Master Xun raised his head and smiled.""Little Junior Brother can lead the army now!"
