The narrator said: Ye Yu, do you think there will be anyone as aggressive as Elder Wang? Ye Feng had already given in to him. Is anyone really so ignorant?
Ye Yu said: Do you think anyone can be as moral as the people in "Sanchi Alley"?
The narrator said: Sanchi Lane?
Ye Yu said: Sanchi Alley is also called Liuchi Alley. Fu Yijian, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, was an official in Beijing. His family had a homestead dispute, so he wrote a letter in the hope that he could support his family. After receiving a letter from his family, he wrote a letter from home: "The purpose of building a book thousands of miles away is just for the wall, so why not let it be three feet long? The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang was nowhere to be seen." After the family saw it, they felt ashamed and took the initiative to give up three feet. When the neighbors knew about it, they also felt deeply ashamed and gave up three feet, thus forming today's Liuchi Alley.
But in today's world, "Be patient for a while, make progress, take a step back, and make it worse." Forbearance has limits, and there is no way to retreat. We should follow the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will offend them!" the rules.
The narrator said: Are you saying that the moral standards of people today are not as good as those of ancient times?
Ye Yu said: Of course not. From the perspective of people's hearts and human nature standing still, the moral standards of today's people are the same as those of ancient people. There is no saying that the moral standards of modern people are inferior to those of ancient people. The simplest thing is, if the ancients had such high standards, is the story of "Sanchi Alley" worthy of being passed down? Just like the fact that you ride a bicycle to work, is it worth passing on to future generations?
The narrator said: Get out! Go tell stories.
Ye Yu smiled and said: Haha, Elder Wang only has two sentences in total, let's analyze them one by one.
Regarding the first sentence, first of all we must make it clear that Elder Wang is not stupid. First of all, he knew that he could not attack Ye Feng directly, but other people, and the first tentative sentence was also so measured, well-measured, and well-founded in attack and defense. From this, it can be seen that Elder Wang is not a fool. No matter how bad it is, he can practice to the middle stage of Mahayana, how can he be a fool.
The narrator retorts: Then why did he do such a stupid thing?
Ye Yu said: So I said, the world is very magical. Is whether you are a fool directly related to whether you do stupid things?
As a group, the vast majority of people in this world have normal IQs and above, but most of the things they do can hardly be called smart, and can only be considered barely satisfactory.
Personally speaking, no matter how smart a person is, he will sometimes be stupid. After all, who in this world can only do smart things all his life?
The reason for this is the information gap I mentioned before. It's obvious that Elder Wang has been plotted. From the foreshadowing I left before, it's not difficult to guess. You must know that not everyone has Ye Feng's ability to see through people's hearts, especially when a person is being calculated.
The reason why you felt abnormal before was because everything was planned by others, and the "demon" was here. I have to say that the ancestor was brave enough to even plot against Ye Feng, but Ying Ruyu obviously didn't know. If you know the answer to a test, can it still be called a test?
The narrator said: What about the second sentence?
Ye Yu said: First of all, we said before that if you take a step back, others will think you are easy to bully, and then they will intensify your efforts and take advantage of you. This is the bad nature of human nature and is universal. The reason why some people are not is just because they have good personal cultivation. Individuals cannot represent the group, and the group cannot represent the individual.
It is obvious that Elder Wang is not a well-educated person. In terms of behavior, he is the kind of person who is jealous, ruthless, arrogant and rude. It is because of his personality that he was chosen to be the victim of the test.
The narrator interrupted: Then doesn't he know how to read people's emotions?
Ye Yu said: Do you remember what I said about the two ways for poor people to turn around? One is lucky, the second is immoral.
We said before that the second type of poor people who have turned over will be very cruel. They are more cruel to the poor than the rich because they have climbed up from the bottom, so they understand the principle of "if you don't kill the poor, you can't be rich." Such people generally have the following characteristics: scheming, mentally tough, able to endure hardship, good at observing people's emotions, strict self-discipline, good at being a good person, and able to understand human nature. The only thing missing is a heart that prefers good between good and evil.
But Elder Wang is not the second type. He is the first type who gets lucky. Coupled with his arrogant and rude character, he will never be able to observe words and emotions.
The narrator said: Why do I think you are talking about Ye Feng?
Ye Yu said: Didn't I say that? Ye Feng and Elder Wang are very similar, they both climbed out from the bottom. It's just that Ye Feng is rare. He is someone who climbed up through the second way but can "incline to the good". But the funny thing is that Elder Wang is obviously the first to climb up. Elder Wang obviously has the opportunity to do good but still chooses to do evil. Ye Feng obviously has the only way to do evil, but he can do good. How can he do it? ridicule! Therefore, the word "heart" seems simple to write, but it is quite complicated. Otherwise, why would Wang Yangming's theory of the integration of three religions be named "Xin Xue".
So to sum up, he will definitely say that vicious second sentence.
Therefore, what seems magical from the perspective of a third-party God is very normal and reasonable if you bring it from the perspective of Elder Wang. To put it bluntly, if Elder Wang was not such a death-seeking person, the Ying clan would not choose him. They would definitely choose Elders Zhao, Elder Qian, etc. who can meet the conditions of seeking death.
It's not that Elder Wang's fate has been decided, but that the chosen person's fate is destined to die.
The narrator said: Is fate really unchangeable?
Ye Yu said: I have said it countless times before. Don’t you even look at it? You are confusing fate with destiny. Destiny is the process, destiny is the result. Our character makes our destiny unchangeable and makes it difficult to change the direction of our life. but!
Destiny can be changed!
The results can also be changed!
Therefore, Taoist Lao Tzu said that you should let go of your delusional mind, cultivate your mind, and do nothing, so that you will not miss any opportunity to change your destiny. It was as if Ye Feng had given Elder Wang a chance, a chance to change his destiny, because Ye Feng knew that he, like himself, was a pawn used by the ancestor of the Ying family to test Ying Ruyu, and he was just a victim, so Ye Feng would give him a chance to change his destiny. Chance,
But it's a pity that Ye Feng has never been a good person, so he won't give it a second time. And the arrogant Elder Wang did not seize this opportunity.
As a thousand-year-old man, Ye Feng would never help others complete the test in vain. He was also testing the character of the little girl Ying Ruyu. After all, he never said he wanted to kill Elder Wang.
People only reveal their true nature when they are in a hurry, so Ye Feng only gave Ying Ruyu "3 seconds" and did not give her any extra time to think about it. So Ying Ruyu's first instinctive reaction was.
kill!
Leave no consequences!
