Ye Feng narrated as if nothing had happened. Even after others mentioned Hong Ye's death, Ye Feng could still look as normal now. It seemed that there was no impact at all, as if he had walked out of the shadow of Hong Ye's death. After all, time is the best healer for any past pain, it's just a matter of how long. A thousand years is enough to cure any disease in the world and erase all pain in the world, but is it really so? Who knows? At least no one present noticed anything strange about Ye Feng, but the only one who felt something was wrong was Ren Xiaojin. It felt like there was a small fluctuation in the bottomless abyss, but it was calm on the surface. It was so dull that Ren Xiaojin once thought it was her illusion.
Although Ye Feng is no longer as stubborn as before, it does not mean that he has completely forgotten it. He just knows that sometimes, he needs to let go of some things and travel lightly, so that he can go further. It's like he accepted Li Dukang's death, but didn't forget it, just kept it in his heart, and the smoking habit was inherited from Brother Li to commemorate the ancients. What about the red leaves?
The book returned to the main story, Ye Feng continued
"The Buddhist scriptures say: Man is a hypocrite, and man cannot be a Buddha. It means that everything that people deliberately pursue is hypocritical and goes against the way of heaven. However, if you comply with the way of heaven and do not force it, what ordinary people do without deliberately doing it will happen naturally. Enter the realm of Buddha.
"The sages of Huaxia realized the difference between the heart of the heart and the heart of the Tao. The heart of the heart refers to the way a person handles affairs with interests first, which contains the element of "artificial hypocrisy"; the heart of the Tao is to comply with the laws of nature, Cultivate an elegant feeling of compassion and compassion.
"And what is the difference between nihilism and conforming to the way of heaven and not forcing it? After all, they are very similar, right? Nihilism is the belief that everything is meaningless, and therefore has no interest in anything. The emergence of nihilism is usually accompanied by Emotionally negative and pessimistic, even depressed. Such people tend to see problems more profoundly, but they can easily go to an extreme.
"We often say that there are three realms in life: the first realm sees mountains as mountains, the second realm sees mountains as not mountains, and the third realm sees mountains as mountains."
"Nihilistic people are people who are in the second level of understanding, and they are people who have a biased understanding. People at this time basically cannot return to the first level, just like a blind man who opens his eyes and cannot It's the same as closing it again and returning to the dark world. But this doesn't mean that life has no meaning, nor does it mean that you can't enter the third realm."
"Take the barbecue I just mentioned as an example. Only people who think barbecue tastes bad will think about the meaning of barbecue."
Ye Feng paused and said to Lan Lan:
"So the fundamental question is not whether everything is meaningful, but Miss Lanlan, you just don't like your life at the moment. Am I right?"
"You!" Lan Lan wanted to retort, but when the words came to her lips, she was unexpectedly unable to say them out, because she realized that what Ye Feng said was right. So she couldn't refute Ye Feng.
Ye Feng continued: "Zhuangzi once said this: Everyone knows the use of useful things, but no one knows the use of useless things. People only see the meaning of usefulness, but they cannot see the meaning of those seemingly useless things. Sometimes there is meaning in it, but people's vision, vision and laziness make people ignore its "useless use".
To talk about something interesting, useless things in this world are often of great use, while useful things are often of small use.
There is a large chapter in the "Tao Te Ching" that expresses this idea: no intention can make great use, and things cannot be used by gods. A popular saying is, "If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade."
"The sentence in "Laozi" "The Tao always does nothing and does nothing". It means that the Tao always conforms to nature and will not deliberately do anything. In this way, following the laws of the Tao, everything can be accomplished naturally. It is the same as what is said above. A truth.
"When you ask others and yourself what the meaning of life is, essentially you are unhappy now. You don't like your current life. Because if you like your life, you won't think about life at all. meaning, I just hope that it can continue forever without an end.
"As a human being, life is not meant to be meaningful. However, the environment in which we live and our lives are required to give too much value and meaning, which means over-emphasis on the existence of the end point. But feelings are ignored This stage of the beautiful process. Real great writers are often just attracted by literature itself. Real musical geniuses are often just intoxicated in the process of their own creation. Just imagine if they think about when I can write the four masterpieces every day Anyway, I couldn’t write a masterpiece, and it didn’t make any sense, so I stopped writing it. The songs I wrote were not as stunning and brilliant as Jay Chou’s anyway, and they would only be laughed at, and they had no meaning, so I stopped writing them.
“What an unhappy life that would be.
"Including monks, everyone's life is like a train that doesn't know where it will end. The train is moving forward, where is the train going, when will the next stop arrive, are there any seats on the train, etc. These issues are not important and cannot be decided by us, but we can decide our mood while riding the car, and the most important thing is to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
"So when you are confused, you might as well try to just feel the process and not think about the meaning itself. Because the search for meaning from the beginning has no meaning in itself."
Ye Feng looked at Lan Lan with a smile and said, "Miss Lan Lan, I don't know my answer. Are you satisfied?"
At this moment, Lan Lan's face was ashamed and red, not because she had a good impression of Ye Feng, but because she had lived for countless years, and today she was educated by a brat who only lived for less than a thousand years. It was really a shame and a great humiliation. The problem was that the other party That said, I didn't even have a word to refute. His face was suppressed from being red.
And the man in front of me is really, as my sister said, surpassing her in terms of being a person and a humane person. This is something I least want to admit.
. . .
The narrator said: Ye Yu, did Ye Feng really have such a period of downturn?
Ye Yu said: Yes, it's true.
The narrator said: Ye Feng said for a long time, isn't the meaning of Ye Feng's life to spread the civilization of mortals to all the world?
Ye Yu said: That's just what he wants to do, not the meaning of his life. Didn't he already say this? Others, if you ask me, I don’t know. After all, there is one thing I have emphasized countless times. Ye Feng is no longer the puppet protagonist of online novels that I can control now. What was he thinking and how could I possibly know?
