Chapter 186: Smashing the Pot (8)
Zhao Qian suddenly felt that he had the feeling of giving birth to a child again, it was a feeling as if he had eaten extremely full, but he always felt that he was missing a bite. Since he was a child, he felt that his father seemed to be completely different from others, and no matter how he discovered and studied, he couldn't learn what his father had.
Now that Zhao Qian has grown up, this feeling is even stronger. Daddy's evaluation of fear and death has made Zhao Qian take a long time to digest and absorb, and it may not even be able to reach Daddy's current level for a long time. But this question that has plagued mankind for thousands of years has an answer here, and what kind of realm will it be if you can take a step forward?
Zhao Qian wanted to know, but he didn't dare to ask directly. He has been trying to follow his father for nearly thirty years, and the frustration during this period has piled up. These memories are not pleasant, Zhao Qian has accumulated experience, as Xunzi said, the learning of a gentleman is also in the ear, in the heart, in the four bodies, and in the form of movement. At the end of the day, one can be the law. The learning of the villain is also in the ears and out of the mouth; Between the mouth and ears, the four inches of ears are enough to be beautiful for a seven-foot body!
Daddy radiates light and heat like the sun, it's not that Daddy takes out what he has learned and uses it, but Daddy himself is strong enough. Because Daddy is strong enough, he will come up with a suitable method according to the specific problem. For example, after giving Zhao Qian the title of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Dad came up with a means to find the nine-tailed fox and create momentum for Zhao Qian. If it was Zhao Qian, he couldn't think of such a means by frowning and biting the pencil.
Zhao Qian is after encountering a problem, he went to the things he learned to hear and see to seek similar solutions, and now looking at himself, Zhao Qian sees himself covered with all kinds of gorgeousness, lion's mane, peacock's tail feather, tiger pattern, and so on. But Zhao Qian couldn't take out what belonged to him, and if he continued to do this, the knowledge on his body would become a burden, and sooner or later Zhao Qian himself would be crushed. The clearer he realized this, the more painful Zhao Qian felt. When it was possible to face the decisive ultimate idea, Zhao Qian did not dare to ask.
"What are you doing greasy and crooked, if it's okay, go and do your own business." Zhao Jiaren said.
Hearing that his father was going to pick someone up, Zhao Qian made up his mind, he considered his words, and asked cautiously: "Dad, you are not afraid of death, I know." β
"I'm not afraid of death, I just accept that death is an inevitable experience in life."
After listening to his father's correction, Zhao Qian suddenly felt that the next discussion had a foothold, and he asked, "The death I am talking about is not the kind of physical death, but the interruption of our own consciousness. I don't believe in the so-called spirit in heaven, but I find that many times if we can't identify with the spirit in heaven, it seems that our life is meaningless. β
After speaking, Zhao Qian stared at his father, wanting to understand something more from his father's expression. I saw that my father's eyes drooped slightly, and his face showed a nostalgic expression. Then I saw my father laugh, "Oh." It's kind of interesting. β
"What do you mean?" Zhao Qian asked.
"You obviously don't give in to your own flesh, and after a few hungry meals, see if you don't have such thoughts. Ha ha! β
Daddy's tone and diction are not very serious, especially the final laughter, which has the flavor of a cat watching a mouse.
Zhao Qian only felt hurt in his heart, but it didn't take long for him to find that this emotion quickly dissipated. Zhao Qian said: "Dad, don't be as you said Bodhi Ancestor's reaction when he saw Sun Wukong seeking immortality, you know what you're talking about, but I don't know." So I just said straightforwardly, I want to be as strong as you. So I feel like I have to go through the door of life and death. β
Zhao Jiaren then laughed: "Hahaha! Very good, I'm not a Bodhi ancestor It's hard to say, do you mean a bit of Monkey King. β
"I just want to be stronger from the inside out, not from the outside in. But no matter what you do, you can't break free from the sense of victory. I really wanted to win, so I was conquered by victory. I just wanted to be stronger, so I was crushed by being stronger. But no matter what, I will not give up on this pursuit. Zhao Qian said what he thought in one go, thinking that it would be very tragic, but he found that after saying it, there was nothing but emptiness. It's been like this since I was a child, even if I finally got what I wanted, I couldn't satisfy myself. If it weren't for the father in front, Zhao Qian would probably have given up. But because of his father in front, Zhao Qian felt that his life seemed uninteresting while he had courage.
Looking at Daddy, I saw that Daddy's expression regained calm, and then listened to Daddy ask, "Why don't you give in to desire?" β
"Because that's wrong. I don't know what is right, but I know what is wrong. β
"Why don't you find something you love?"
"That kind of life is even more meaningless. Even if I get that thing to the top, I'll have to face my current uneasiness in the end. Dad, I think it's a matter of life and death. Just like a carp jumping over a dragon gate, it becomes a dragon when it jumps over. I can't jump, no matter how good my life is, even if I become a carp essence, I am still a carp. β
"Interesting! You think so, aren't you worried about being said to be too ambitious? β
"It's so ambitious because I can't do it, I really did it, why should I care about other people's comments!"
"And what do you want to understand?"
"What is life and death! I know who I am. Where I came from, I also know. But I don't know where I'm going! After Zhao Qian finished saying this, he felt that what he had been vague in the past became clearer. He suddenly felt no longer ashamed of his incompetence, because the goal he pursued was actually very clear, that is, he wanted to become an emperor like his father who could provoke the world's great responsibilities. Now Zhao Qian can't accept the gap between himself and his father, if he sees a mountain in his life but can't climb it, he will only think that his life is a complete failure.
"Zhao Qian, what do you think death is?"
"End! The end of life, the end of self. β
"I ask you, when exactly do people die, when they are shot in the heart? Got an incurable disease? Or is it trapped in the dead and cannot be saved? β
"Father said this, you said that death is the time when the world forgets."
"Why is it forgotten?"
"There are many reasons...... Zhao Qian felt like he was in turmoil after speaking.
"Because you can't do anything for anyone else. Many old people ask each other in the name of deceased elders or relatives and friends, and those who died can still be remembered at that time. β
Zhao Qian also thought about this question, so he replied: "If you build up your merits, you can prolong the time for you to be forgotten. As long as Da Song exists, his father will not be forgotten. β
"People will die, and the Great Song Dynasty will also perish. It's like a serious illness can be cured, but death can't. β
"As long as Huaxia is still around, my father will not die."
"I don't think so. I can't represent China, just as Qin Shi Huang didn't represent the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty collapsed, but the abolition of the partition, the establishment of counties and counties, the same text, the same track, unified weights and measures. Because I want to build a powerful Great Song Dynasty, I have to move Qin Shi Huang out. The same is true for people, only when they face problems that cannot be solved, they will move out the previous people. When I die, I think it will be the same. So the key is what you have created, Zhao Qian, whether you have the courage to face the unknown world and create something for those behind you. It's not that you're above everyone and create something that belongs to you. Of course, that's not to say you can't do that. But if you do it, it will be similar to Qin Hui. β
"How do I create myself?" Zhao Qian felt that he still hadn't been able to break through, and he had thought about these things.
"Labor creates man himself. Go to work, go to work. Let your work and labor be able to communicate with the society, and only when the society has demand can your labor be valuable. β
"It's all for someone else, can you leave a little for me?"
"If you are struggling with this, you have to ask your mother. She has a thorough understanding of the Tao Te Ching. If you must hold on to what belongs to you and not let go, then you will die with your point. β
"Dad, that kind of so-called detachment is not what I want, what I want is a down-to-earth foothold, even if it is a place to stand."
"I see. You're trying to figure this out. β
Hearing his father talk about this key point, Zhao Qian wanted to listen with bated breath. Then I heard my father say: "I didn't dare to write my key points." It's also because I have ideas, but I can't write them. If you want to read it, I'll try to write it. β
Zhao Qian only felt that his mood was calm and full of anticipation. He just wants to understand the root of his father, which must be the ultimate truth of the world. At least until now the ultimate truth.
I was about to ask my dad when he would be able to write it, but he heard his dad say, "Why are you so impressed by Journey to the West?" β
"I grew up listening to it and thought it was fun. Later, many times I found that the story in it was wonderful, but the subtle meaning of what my father said was really wonderful. β
"Then I'll give you a job, and you can organize some people who like to write and summarize the story I said. Get a basic draft out. β
"Writing books?" Zhao Qian was stunned, he didn't hate this job, but it seemed to be a waste of time.
"What you said today makes me feel a lot. It's actually not bad to make up this comment. β
ββ¦β¦ I did my best. Zhao Qian could only agree.
"Then go ahead. I still have something to do. "Zhao Jiaren really wants to pick people up this time.
Zhao Qian began to contact people here, the culture of the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and there were many people who liked to write books. I found some people to send to my dad first, and Zhao Qian waited for my dad to respond. A few days later, Dad told Zhao Qian, "These people can't do it." β
"How to calculate, there must be a standard." Zhao Qian knew that it didn't work, and he also knew that he couldn't look for it blindly.
"This is something that I asked them to write a paragraph and then revise it. Look. β
Zhao Qian took the two pages and read the beginning of the paragraph where Sun Wukong sought immortality.
One day, the patriarch sat on the altar, summoned the immortals, and opened the avenue. It's really a sky and a golden lotus. Wonderful performance of the three teachings, subtle and perfect. Slowly shake the tail and spray pearls, and the thunder and thunder move for nine days. Talk about the Tao for a while, talk about Zen for a while, and the three families cooperate with this as it is. The word of enlightenment converts sincerity and reason, and guides the non-birth of sexual mysteries.
Sun Wukong listened to it from the sidelines, and he was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, smiled with his eyebrows, and couldn't help dancing with his hands and feet. Suddenly, he was seen by the patriarch and called Sun Wukong and said: "You are in the class, why are you dancing wildly and not listening to me?" Wukong said: "The disciple listened sincerely, and when he heard the wonderful voice of the master, he was overjoyed, so he didn't feel that he was enthusiastic." I hope Master forgives your sins! The patriarch said, "Since you know the wonderful sound, let me ask you, what kind of Tao do you want to learn from me today?" Ancestor Wukong said: "But with the teachings of the respected teacher, there is only some Taoism, and the disciple will learn." β
The patriarch said: "There are three hundred and sixty side doors in the Daozi Gate, and the side doors all have positive fruits. I don't know which one you are studying? Wukong said: "With the will of the teacher, the disciple listens wholeheartedly." The patriarch said, "How about I teach you the way in the sect?" Wukong said: "What do you say about the way of the martial arts?" The patriarch said: "In the door of the word art, there are some people who invite the immortals to help Luan, ask the yarrow, and know the reason for seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." Wukong said: "Is it possible to achieve immortality like this?" The patriarch said, "No, no!" Wukong said: "Don't learn, don't learn!" β
The patriarch said, "How about teaching you the way of flowing words?" Wukong asked again: "What is the righteousness in the Liuzi Gate?" The patriarch said: "In the Liuzi Gate, there are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Moism, and medicine, or reading scriptures, or reciting Buddha, and descending to the truth. Wukong said: "Is it possible to achieve immortality like this?" The patriarch said: "If you want to live forever, it is like a pillar in the wall." Wukong said: "Master, I am an honest person, and I don't know how to play the market. What do you call the wall pillar? The patriarch said: "People build houses to be strong, and set up a pillar between the walls, and one day the building will decline, and he will perish." Wukong said: "According to this, it will not last long. Don't learn, don't learn! β
The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way of the Jingzi Gate?" Wukong said: "What is the positive fruit in the Jingzi Gate?" The patriarch said: "This is to rest the grain and keep the grain, be quiet and do nothing, participate in meditation, precept fasting, or sleep gong, or make meritorious service, and merit it into the fixed sitting pass." Wukong said: "Can you live forever like this?" The patriarch said: "It is also like the adobe of the kiln." Wukong smiled: "Master Guo is a little dripping." One line said I don't know how to play the city. What is the kiln head adobe? The patriarch said: "Just like the brick and tile blank on the head of the kiln, although it has been formed, it has not yet been tempered by water and fire, and once it rains heavily, he will be indiscriminate." Wukong said: "It's not long-term. Don't learn, don't learn! β
The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way of moving words?" Wukong said: "But what about the way to move the door?" The patriarch said: "This is a promising work, picking yin to supplement yang, climbing the bow and stepping on the crossbow, rubbing the umbilicus and passing the gas, concocting it with a square, burning the grass and beating the ding, entering the red lead, refining the autumn stone, and taking women's milk and so on." Wukong said: "Do you have to live forever like this?" The patriarch said: "This desire for immortality is also like fishing for the moon in water." Wukong said, "Master is here again." How is it called fishing for the moon in the water? The patriarch said: "The moon is in the sky, and there is a shadow in the water, although I see it, but there is no place to touch it, and it is only an empty ear." Wukong said: "Don't learn, don't learn!" β
