At this moment, for Tu Shan Xinyue and others, a powerful existence that they were completely incapable of was interfering, and it was no longer possible to take Tu Shan Ling away by force. But the only possibility is what Ye Feng just said and Tu Shanling's own intention. As long as she is willing to leave, Ye Feng Yuli can no longer stop her. As for the Tu Shanling mentioned just now, she is Ye Feng's person. I am not a fool. Tu Shanling is clearly still a virgin, how can she be yours?
So Tu Shanlong said to Tu Shanling: "Ling'er, you should know what it means to refuse the marriage of the Dapeng clan. If there is a choice, how can we, as your relatives, bear to see you jump into the fire pit, but this One time, the Green Lion clan and the White Elephant clan were matchmakers. To put it bluntly, the Blue Lion clan, the White Elephant clan and the Dapeng clan jointly put pressure on our clan. You should know what the consequences will be if we don't agree."
Ye Feng sarcastically said: "A race that relies on selling women to survive has the nerve to take this kind of thing as a matter of course. Such a bloodless race will perish sooner or later."
Tu Shan Xinyue did not refute Ye Feng, because she knew that what Ye Feng said was right and what he scolded was right, but this was the price paid for survival, so Tu Shan Xinyue knew that the other party was ridiculing Tu Shan, but she Still no argument.
As a former core member of the Tushan clan, how could Tu Shanling be outside the core of power if she hadn't been injured by the strange fire and injured her Nascent Soul? So Tu Shanling still knows something.
In today's demon world, the Green Lion clan, the White Elephant clan and the Dapeng clan are all the top powerful clans in the demon world. What's more important is that these three clans are brotherly alliance races. They usually share wealth and status, and advance and retreat together. Otherwise, this time he would not have acted as matchmaker to the Sky Fox clan for the sake of the Holy Son of the Dapeng clan. It may be impossible for any one of the Blue Lion Clan, White Elephant Clan and Dapeng Clan to respond to a hundred people in the demon world and cover the sky with one hand. But if the three races unite, they can do it. Although the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan is not the weakest race, it can hardly be considered a strong clan. To put it more conceitedly, it can only be regarded as an above-average race at best. Naturally, it cannot be compared with any of the Dapeng, Green Lion, and White Elephant clans. Fortunately, there are many beautiful women in the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan, and they can maintain certain relationships with various clans through marriage. However, in Tu Shanling's view, that kind of relationship is a shame, no different from the prostitutes in brothels. Just as Ye Feng said, they are a race that relies on selling women to survive. But no matter how humiliating it is, it is still his own clan, and the object of this marriage is the Dapeng clan, and it is a marriage at the level of a saint son and a saint. No wonder the senior leaders of the Tianhu clan agreed to this kind of thing, and even sent his grandfather Come and take me back with my second grandma. What can I do? Can I ignore the problems of others in the clan for the sake of my own willfulness? I am not Sister Qingni. If I were Ye Feng's wife, I could ask Ye Feng to help me. But if I am not, can I ask for it?
While there was a battle between heaven and man in Tu Shanling's mind, Ye Feng came to Tu Shanling with a smile and said, "Would you like some tea?"
At this moment, Tu Shanling was in a daze. She just responded, took the tea and took a sip, but the taste in her mouth suddenly brought her back to reality. The taste of Ye Feng's tea was so bad that Tu Shanling couldn't help but spit it out. It didn't look like a lady at all. Tu Shanling scolded: "Ye Feng, is your tea drinkable for humans?"
And Ye Feng smiled and said, "You finally have some energy."
Tu Shanling realized at this time that it turned out that Ye Feng was trying to cheer herself up, but she really couldn't agree with the method, especially since his tea-making skills were really bad. He was on the same level as Ren Xiaojin. No wonder they were a couple.
"By the way, the saint just asked me why Taoists don't have the concept of hard work. They are not qualified to listen, but you do. Do you want to hear it?" Ye Feng said.
Tu Shanling was puzzled, but nodded.
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Ling'er, you see, the word 'nu' for hard work, the upper slave and the lower force, originally means that the slave is forced to work hard. Because if you want the slave to work hard, there must be external force. When beaten with a whip, the result is "effort". Using force while always in a state of "effort" is the concept of "effort". In other words, effort is forced to act because there is no inherent spontaneous motivation. In fact, effort It is a word with a strong Confucian flavor, because Confucianism values etiquette, and the essence of "ritual" is "interaction and coercion."
"The Tao Te Ching says: If you don't respond to a courtesy, you will throw it away. Therefore, Confucianism's "force" is engraved in its cultural genes. Although Confucius once said, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. , but what those Confucian hypocrites like to do most is: do to others what they want, that is, to force what they think is good on others. Under the guise of doing your own good, stand on the moral high ground and force others to do it. .As everyone knows, in this world, even if it is what you want, you cannot do it to others easily.
Another important reason is reflected in Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning" chapter. Xunzi encouraged people to study and compared it with objects such as wheels, axes, and gold. He said, "Wood will be straight when it is roped, and it will be sharp when metal is sharpened." The wheel is the key. Constantly pressing it with external force means constantly polishing it with external objects. The cantilevered beam on the head pierces the buttocks, causing self-consciousness.
"The "Tao Te Ching" talks about "the great things are not accomplished" and advocates spontaneity. There is a fundamental conflict between Confucianism and Taoism here.
"Actually, whether it is self-compulsion or forced, it is an unnatural state. Therefore, there is no concept of effort in the Tao Te Ching. Because if there is effort, it is not called natural."
Ye Feng paused and continued: "Will birds work hard to sing? Will fish work hard to swim? Will flowers work hard to bloom?"
"It happens naturally in compliance with the inherent power of all things. This is called nature. The power of nature is inherited from heaven and earth, while human efforts are limited to man-made efforts. Heaven, earth and man-made are two different levels of power. The former is a miraculous workmanship, and the latter is The two are carefully crafted. One is a natural-made article, and the other is a pile of rhetoric. Therefore, the "Tao Te Ching" says that great things are not easy to achieve, because what is achieved by the power of heaven and earth is a great thing, while what is made by man can only be small. become.
"The Tao is hidden in small achievements. No matter how hard those who pursue small achievements work, they will never become great. Because their initial direction is wrong.
"So nature is an extremely important concept in the Tao Te Ching."
The sound of "papa" applause came from Tushan Xinyue. Tushan Xinyue felt that Ye Feng's theory was worthy of these rounds of applause.
But Ye Feng didn't care about her appreciation, but continued to look at Tu Shanling and said, "Do you understand?"
Seeing that Tu Shanling still didn't understand, Ye Feng sighed deeply.
Tu Shanling looked at Ye Feng's expression of hatred for steel, and scolded: "Don't laugh at me for being stupid!"
