For a real old scholar, what they really desire is not success or fame. There are only two things they desire: one is the end of research, and the other is that someone can inherit the mantle of their knowledge. This is the normal thought of a mortal, a person with a life limit, and it is also the reason why human beings can continue to this day and continue to move towards glory.
Therefore, although the old man also felt that "stealing the knowledge that others have learned throughout their lives in a short period of time" sounded nonsense, but after seeing this young man's performance, he inevitably had such thoughts in his heart. Although I don’t have any peerless skills in my memory, my mind is just some miscellaneous knowledge about the customs and customs of the ancient fairyland from the books I spent time reading, but that is not something that anyone can easily or casually take away. s things.
Some things are your own, even if they are despicable in the eyes of outsiders, they cannot be underestimated or despised by anyone. Moreover, I have strict requirements for who will inherit my mantle, and not just any cat or dog can be a thief!
At this moment, Ye Feng asked everyone to rest in their own space beads. The Immortal Ascension Conference after dawn tomorrow is the time for everyone to show off their skills. With Ye Feng's current ability, the Space Pearl is already more like a fairyland than the real fairyland in Yong'an before.
After everyone went back to their residences to rest, Ye Feng himself was still reading books. Ye Feng didn't mean to steal the knowledge in the old man's memory, but after discovering the old man's astonishing amount of knowledge, he wanted to quickly find the whereabouts of the dragon. The vast number of books in the library is indeed worthy of the name "Jiuzhou Library". Even if the books here cannot cover all the books in the world except for exercises, they can probably reach 80-90%. And Ye Feng will leave Zhongdu after the Ascension Conference. Even if Ye Feng uses all the books to read, he may not be able to read all the books in the remaining time to find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball, so Ye Feng comes here. The last resort was to read the old man's memory, which only took less than a second.
We know that to read a book, to understand the meaning between the lines, short-term memory is necessary, otherwise the act of reading a book itself will not be possible. And Ye Feng's memory is not short-term. Ye Feng has the ability of photographic memory. So in the end, because Ye Feng wanted to find the whereabouts of the dragon ball in the old man's mind, he accidentally wrote down all the memories in the old man's mind.
Some people say that Ye Feng was trying to save Su Waner, which is understandable. But Ye Feng doesn't think so, because this involves the "doctrine of merit" that "as long as the purpose is good, it's OK to do whatever it takes in the process."
To be honest, thinking this way is close to being a demon. To understand it, in fact, when you do whatever it takes, it is meaningless to discuss the right or wrong of the matter itself. Because good things depend on the heart, and bad things depend on the behavior. This sentence itself advocates that "bad things can also depend on the heart." If you really do that, it will only lead to the collapse of order. Therefore, it has always been prohibited by law. At best, the penalty can only be reduced, but it is impossible to revoke the penalty. The most typical example is the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
So Ye Feng knew very well that he just "took it for himself without asking anyone, and he was a thief." If it were the seven sect leaders with evil intentions at the beginning, it wouldn't matter if Ye Feng saw through their underpants, he wouldn't I feel a little guilty, and I won't even apologize. But this old man can't do it. He is not an enemy, but a person who is kind to him. So what he did just now is indeed wrong. What he did wrong is what he did wrong, and it has nothing to do with his heart and purpose. If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright.
So Ye Feng came to the old man, bowed 90 degrees to the old man and gave a big salute - this is a courtesy that is only used when apologizing. But the old man did not stop the young man in front of him, but looked at him with a sharp look. Ye Feng didn't hear the old man asking him to get up, so Ye Feng kept bowing like this.
After a long time, the old man's original sharp eyes became softer, and the admiration in his eyes gradually became stronger, so he said: "Get up, if you don't mind, how about playing chess with me? People have the habit of insomnia when they get older. ,"
Ye Feng said respectfully: "Yes, senior."
The old man's chess skills are very strong, and he rarely encounters opponents. He is more than enough to be the chess master of this ancient fairyland. Ye Feng also did his part and actually fought evenly with the old man. It's just that when you meet your opponent in chess, you are equally matched.
It is easy to see a person's character and strategy from Go. While the old man was extremely satisfied with the character and strategy of the person in front of him, he was also shocked by the young man's chess prowess.
What the old man didn't know was that Ye Feng admired the old man even more. You must know that the old man is already in his twilight years, and he is in his prime, but he is on par with him. Although he can beat him, it will take a lot of effort. So when this old man was young, it was really unknown whether he could win. Fortunately, this old man was not of the same era as him, and fortunately he was not his enemy.
Suddenly the old man said: "What's your name?"
"Junior Ye Feng."
The old man said: "You don't have spiritual roots, do you?"
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said: "This junior does not have spiritual roots and has no chance to cultivate the path of immortality." Ye Feng just has no chance of cultivating the path to immortality, and it is not that he has no chance to practice the path of immortality. It does not count as lying to the old man. After all, it may not be a blessing for others to know your secret, but it may be a disaster.
The old man smiled and said: "It's enough to transplant spiritual roots. Don't be discouraged. Young man Ye, what do you think cultivation is? Let alone cultivating immortals. That's just to fool me, old man."
Ye Feng bowed his hands and thought for a moment, then said: "Juniors believe that cultivation is to accept everyone, and the process of acceptance is to experience one's own heart and magnify one's own pattern, until the heart is tempered to the perfection of character. Because there is nothing outside the heart, what we see What you feel is actually the representation of your own heart. In other words, the appearance of others in your eyes is actually the appearance of another self. Therefore, others are mirrors, and what you see from them is actually yourself in the mirror. The more you are exposed to mirrors, the more you can see yourself clearly in an all-round way, instead of getting angry and angry when you see the shortcomings of others. The younger generation thinks this is the meaning of practice. Practice is to use the mirror to correct your behavior and behavior all the time. Thoughts. Therefore, we must learn to treat and accept others correctly. We should not regard others as disasters that cannot be avoided, but as opportunities for ourselves to awaken. One thought of suffering, one thought of joy, one thought of gain, one thought of loss. One thought of letting go, Everything is free."
But at this moment, the old man smiled and said: "But there are indeed things that you can't let go of."
Ye Feng smiled and said: "So this junior is still far behind. Even if you don't have spiritual roots, you still have to keep practicing."
