It is precisely because of the fear of power that we will not abuse it unscrupulously, so as to avoid bringing destruction to ourselves and others. It is also because of the fear that when we face despair that even we are afraid of, Only in this way can we better understand the fear of despair faced by those who are weaker than ourselves. Only in this way can we truly muster the courage to hold on to the weapons in our hands for those behind us, and use the power that is already exaggerated for ourselves to protect ourselves. They, in order to protect those who value themselves and who they also value
Speaking of this, there is actually another problem here. This problem is that Ye Feng rejected the proposal of the Taoist of Life and Death in the boundary of life and death. Because Ye Feng did not say anything about this situation, others only knew that Ye Feng was pretending to be dead, but only Ye Feng knew that he was really about to die. Generally, severe brain death may occur after 3 minutes of human heart stopping. It must be within 5 minutes. After receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, even if Ren Xiaojin desperately gave Ye Feng artificial respiration and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, if the heartbeat still did not beat again after half an hour, he could be declared dead. So Ye Feng didn't have much time. This is the most important reason
On the one hand, he refused to be his registered disciple because Ye Feng had already understood the principles of life and death after looking at the old man for a while, and there was no need to become a disciple again. However, Ye Feng would not deny his half-master friendship with the old man. After Ye Feng realized the way of life and death, he already had a way out. To put it simply, he just demolished the place. Of course, he didn't use a hammer to demolish the wall. That's why the ancestor said that he was talking nonsense. The second is that Ye Feng has not completely believed in the old man. Once he has the name of master and apprentice, he will have great consequences. Just like Linglong always calls him dad, the reason is very simple. "Once a teacher, always a father." Isn't a father a father? Of course, Ye Feng is not as exaggerated as his father, but Ye Feng still doesn't want to have too big a relationship with immortals, especially immortals, such as masters and apprentices. The third is the most important thing. Ye Feng has no spiritual roots. His current practice system only refers to immortals. It is essentially a human practice system. His power is human energy rather than spiritual power. This is something that has never happened before. Because of distrust, Ye Feng is also afraid of the existence of this Taoist realm. He drags himself to be a guinea pig for research, and even just tells his secrets. When he does not have enough strength to protect himself, In this case, this situation will only harm yourself and the people around you.
I have to admit that anyone who can step into the realm of Taoism is not a person with amazing talents and has gone much further than anyone else in spiritual cultivation. But because we have gone too far, it is even more impossible to go back and take other paths to understand other paths. For example, after you become a successful mathematician in your old age, if all your theoretical foundations are based on 1+1=2, then a new person suddenly appears and refers to your system based on 1+1=3. Established a new theoretical system, so what will you do?
There is this sentence in the Three-Character Sutra: "In the past Zhongni was taught by Xiangluo." But in fact, there are still a few people who can achieve the enlightenment state of Confucius who was not ashamed to take a seven-year-old child as his teacher. The reality is that it will only invite endless suppression from others. Didn’t Edison, the king of invention, also crazily suppress Nicholas in his later years? Do you want to kill this younger generation who is more outstanding than yourself at the same time? So back to Ye Feng, we often say that people’s hearts are sinister, but is it true that only humans have sinister hearts? If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Those winds are all old winds that have been famous for a long time. Otherwise, where would the destructive power come from?
What's more, Ye Feng didn't completely trust this ancestor.
Ye Feng's road to humanistic cultivation is full of thorns, and he can't even see the way forward. He needs to walk out of everything by himself. The broad road of immortality can be a reference, but if you copy it, you will definitely go astray. Therefore, even if he became the disciple of his ancestor, the experience he could give was very limited. Ye Feng was content to understand the principles of life and death. Of course, if the advice given by the ancestor is too final, it will greatly affect Ye Feng's future path. The most important thing is that once you become a disciple, your secrets will inevitably be exposed. This is almost certain
The reason why Ye Feng rejected the ancestor's proposal was not because he looked down upon the named disciple given by the ancestor. As we often say, the only person who can determine what kind of person you are and what height you can reach is you, not who you are in other people's mouths and eyes. Therefore, the names of these so-called registered, outer sect, inner sect, and true disciples are just empty names.
As for why he also rejected the old man’s secretary who taught Taoism, it was basically the same as the reason why he refused to be a registered disciple. What’s more, he had rejected someone else’s master status. Ye Feng would not shamelessly accept favors in vain, but Ye Feng no longer had it at that time. What can I trade with the old man? After all, I was really half-dead at the time. What's more, once you really learn it, it's no different than personally acknowledging the master-disciple relationship. So in fact, the old man was using two methods, one light and one dark, to induce Ye Feng to worship him as his teacher, but how could this not make Ye Feng feel a little more distrustful. So even if Ye Feng is a pervert with a face thicker than the Great Wall, what will the old man teach Ye Feng? Something simple? No, it must take some time to understand, otherwise how can we reflect the ancestor's level as a master. But Ye Feng had no time at that time. Although the time at the boundary of life and death may not be consistent with the real time, it was not as long as one second and one day. In Ye Feng's state at that time, even one second was precious.
As for why you ended up telling stories to impress the old man, it was of course because when you fucking demolished other people’s homes, you did it while they were not at home. You demolished other people’s crystals in front of them. Believe it or not, someone else's Taoist ancestor who has reached level 15 will slap you to death for hanging up at level 1. He will directly tell you to go back to the spring water and go down to the underworld to report. You can cross the Naihe Bridge and directly report the name of the ancestor without having to pay tolls. Believe it or not!
Now that the explanation is over, let’s get back to reality.
The relocation of the Jade Rabbit Clan was quickly settled. It was nearly dusk. So Ye Feng and the others planned to return the next day.
According to tradition, the Jade Rabbit tribe will hold bonfire parties to express gratitude and pray to the moon god during harvest, migration, wedding and other events. So tonight we held a bonfire party as usual. Although the Jade Rabbit tribe is no longer bound by the belief in the Moon God at this moment, although Chang'e recognized Ye Feng in Guanghan Palace, Ye Feng also recognized this senior, even though this senior was real a few seconds ago Want to kill myself
The great elder was entrusted by Ye Feng to host this bonfire party. Jiang Yu, Fatty, and Linglong had already joined in and went crazy. Ye Feng quietly sat not far away and watched all of them. Ren Xiaojin sat next to Ye Feng
