Wang Po now had a strong interest in Ye Feng, but of course it was not a sexual interest. She said, "So what does Mr. Ye Yi think about today's immortality after reading the literature and books in Wenlou?"
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "The knowledge of the seniors is far better than that of the juniors. I'd better stop trying to do the same thing."
Gu Xun'er was slightly shocked. Ye Feng's knowledge had been taught by him, but Wang Po was just a servant in the first floor of the literary building. Ye Feng actually said that her knowledge was far better than him. How could this not surprise Gu Xun'er. But Gu Xun'er believed that what Ye Feng said was by no means aimless. Could it be that Wang Po is the sweeping monk in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon"?
Wang Po shook her head and said: "Mr. Ye Yi is too modest. I just want to hear your opinion."
Ye Feng glanced at Granny Wang, stood up, bowed respectfully to Granny Wang, and said, "The junior has made a fool of himself. If there is anything inappropriate in what he said, senior Wanwang will correct it in time, and the junior will definitely benefit a lot."
At this time, Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Ye Feng had greatly changed. She nodded slightly, with admiration in her eyes. Since ancient times, Chinese culture has placed the most emphasis on "rituals". It is certainly valuable to be knowledgeable and talented, but the most rare thing is to be humble, polite and respect teachers. This Ye Yi really impressed me.
"Junior generation believes that whether it is literary Tao or today's Immortal Tao, the real purpose is to pursue the truth at the end of the Tao. It's just that the expression is different. And at this point, Immortal Tao is directly naked. Immortal Tao uses immortality as bait. It leads countless people to flock to the immortal way. However, in countless years, there are only a few people who can truly understand the truth and reach the end of the way. This is a matter of probability. Therefore, taking advantage of human beings' fear of death and using immortality as bait to increase the population base of seekers, This is undoubtedly a very wise and smart choice. But here is the problem
As we all know, there are many kinds of power in this world, such as spiritual power, divine power, magic power, demon power, witch power, Yin power, etc. Judging from the historical documents recorded in Wenlou, a long time ago, these forces in the world had their own cultivation systems, so a long time ago they had a common name called "cultivator". But now everyone can only call them "immortal cultivators". That's because after several so-called "catastrophes" or "catastrophes at the end of the Dharma" in the literature, except for the immortal cultivation system, almost all other cultivation systems disappeared from generation to generation. So that everyone can only take the path of immortality. Therefore, everyone calls themselves immortal cultivators. The spiritual power is not bad, but it is not difficult to understand that others who forcibly follow the path of cultivating immortals cannot reach the realm of the Emperor of Heaven.
But it is indeed detrimental to the practice of Taoism. Just like in the history of China, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the period when a hundred schools of thought contended. It was an era when different schools of thought emerged and families and schools competed for prominence. It was also an era when thought and culture were most brilliant and stars were shining. During that period, there was an unprecedented academic situation where hundreds of schools of thought challenged each other and argued with each other. It occupied an important position in the history of the development of Chinese thought. It was an era when academics were most prosperous. If this world is really just about pursuing the end of the Tao, it would actually be the most beneficial situation for a hundred schools of thought to contend. Comparing the inheritance and development of various monastic systems can increase the number of ways to reach the end of the Tao, so the probability will naturally be greater. But now this is not the case. This has to remind people of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who implemented the policy of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" in the history of China. This indeed created the glory of Confucianism, but also cut off other schools of thought. way out. The prosperity of the contention of a hundred schools of thought has ceased. The reason is simply that it facilitates rulers to control their thoughts and use them for their own purposes. Therefore, the kings in history were both Confucians and Taoists. That's why. Then by analogy, why is there only one path to immortality in the world today? Is it because someone did it deliberately? Is it that the path to immortality is conducive to the rule of the real ruler above the Emperor of Heaven? Are the so-called major disasters really just natural disasters? Is it possible that a man-made accident is causing trouble inside? As for why I chose the immortal way. . . "
At this time, Ye Feng caught a glimpse of Gu Xun'er looking at him in confusion. Gu Ying was swaying from side to side, shaking her head, and her head was smoking.
Ye Feng scolded Gu Ying, "Sit down, it's a girl's house. You can't stand well or sit well."
Gu Ying was shocked by the scolding. She quickly adjusted herself and sat down. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake and said, "I know, Dad."
Gu Xun'er suddenly pulled Gu Ying into his arms and glared at Ye Feng, "The child is still young, why are you so mean!"
Ye Feng was dumbfounded for an instant and sighed deeply. When he turned back to look at Mrs. Wang, he saw that Mrs. Wang was smiling at him.
Because when Grandma Wang saw the scene in front of her, she really looked like a family of three, a stern father, a naughty and playful daughter, and a mother who doted on her daughter too much.
Ye Feng cupped his hands in front of Grandma Wang and said with a wry smile: "Senior will laugh at you."
Wang Po shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter."
Ye Feng turned back to Gu Ying and said: "Xiao Ying, you have to remember that reading history can make you wise, and only by knowing the past can you learn about the present. History is not useless, and sometimes it is even crucial. So you should read more in the future, especially history books ,Do you understand?"
"Dad, Xiaoying knows." Gu Ying replied
Looking at Gu Ying, Ye Feng finally smiled and nodded.
Ye Feng turned around and continued: "Just now, why the only remaining thing is the Immortal Way, we have to start with the Immortal Way itself. In fact, the Immortal Way is a path with a serious logical problem. For example, one of the common sense rules is that a low realm cannot defeat a high realm. Immortal cultivators, that’s why people work hard to improve their realm. However, in the world of immortality, geniuses fight across one great realm, and for example, peerless geniuses like Xun’er fight across two realms, and there are quite a few of them. This in itself is The logical contradictions can be explained by the level of skills, treasures, and formations. However, if the realm of cultivating immortals is numerically quantified, it is theoretically impossible to achieve the size of a large realm, but it is actually It really exists. For example, there is another rule that it is impossible to master the exclusive skills of the corresponding realm if you have not reached the realm. Some people have broken it. There are many contradictions like this, but even if there are so many contradictions, some people Reaching the realm of dominance shows that this road can indeed reach the end of the road. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to change to a path with less contradictions? Natural selection is a replica of the world's law of the jungle, and it is the way of heaven, but such a contradiction is full of contradictions. It is the most unreasonable path to survive. And this contradiction is also one of the reasons why we often say that cultivating immortals is a road that defies heaven and leads to a narrow escape from death. So what is the problem? "
Ye Feng paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed: "Actually, this can still be explained."
