Chapter 922: The calamity he set for himself
"After listening to my story, I believe Bai Daoyou has already understood how to resolve the life and death calamity, right?" Ouyang Fei asked Bai Zihua with a smile after finishing the story.
Bai Zihua nodded slowly and said: "With some clues, Daoyou is right, the key to resolving the life and death calamity is indeed the word 'obsession', whether it is achieved or put down, it can resolve the life and death calamity." ”
"If you let go of your obsession at the beginning, you and Mrs. Zun will naturally have no reason to love and kill each other, only love will remain, so that maybe one day, you can still comprehend 'only can be extremely affectionate, can be extremely sword', and create 'sentient world sword twenty-three'. ”
"And because of the enlightenment of the pure void Dao, you have the help of external forces, but you have realized this realm from another aspect, so you have achieved your obsession, and the calamity of life and death has also been resolved, you are indeed very lucky. ”
Ouyang Fei looked like he was concerned, and said, "Yes, I am indeed very lucky, so I owe Qingxu Dao Chief a great favor." ”
Mu Xi said softly: "Husband, you are lucky, and your Excellency is also very lucky! You have the Pure Void Dao, and your Excellency has also received your guidance, presumably, for your own life and death, the Venerable Master knows in his heart, right?"
"I just don't know, what is the obsession of the Venerable, is it possible to let go or achieve it?"
Bai Zihua was stunned when he heard this, and was silent, he promised that he had no obsession, and persuaded others to let go of his obsession countless times, but now he found that in fact, his own obsession is the deepest, so deep that he knows that it is an obsession, and he is willing to be obsessed.
Bai Zihua's obsession is different from Ouyang Fei's description of his obsession, Ouyang Fei's obsession only involves him personally, whether it is to let go or achieve, it is relatively easy.
But what about Bai Zihua? His obsession is to live up to the long stay, the Six Realms, and the common people, and to protect the long stay and the people of the world with his own mana, which is not only an obsession, this is almost a "great wish".
Bai Zihua is very confident, self-confident to the point of conceit, he always believes that his judgment and choice are right, he has his own set of logic, he always acts according to the rules he delineates, regardless of the eyes of others.
Among them, "ruthlessness" is what he considers to be the most correct and supreme code of conduct, and he has indeed done it.
Living alone in the palace of despair, let the peach die and scorch its flower, let the falling flowers and flowing water have a thousand kinds of style, let the snow moon silver light sultry people's feelings, he is also like an ancient well, no ripples.
This ruthlessness made Zi Xun Shangxian Immortal's liver and intestines broken, and his body was bruised, and it also made Hua Qiangu suffer and torture.
His earnest teachings are thousands of bones, and cultivating immortals is the most taboo of seven emotions and six desires, how many people are trapped by love and unable to improve their Taoism, in order to cultivate the truth, I have to do no obsession, no ties, no love and hate.
The coldness in the bones, the indifference between the eyebrows, and the cold and icy true qi exuded around the body all teach people not to dare to approach, right is right, wrong is wrong, it doesn't matter whether you love or hate, only what you should and shouldn't.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to kill the previous generation of Immortal Monarch who was forcibly controlled, Dongfang Yuqing's father, making Dongfang Yuqing hate him to the bone and bent on making him "make mistakes".
Bai Zi's painting is so ruthless, so what kind of love is he? What he absolutely is not only the private feelings of his children, but also the simple human feelings that need to be observed, the worldly feelings of the world.
He is an immortal, not hungry or cold, not thinking about food, those firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, those daily life experiences that mortals have, he has never had.
Taking a sip of peach blossom soup and eating with Xiao Gu is already thinking of the gift of friendship between master and apprentice, Bai Zihua has never thought about what ordinary people want.
He has never lowered his stature to listen to and feel the demands of ordinary people, he adheres to the standards of good and evil, right and wrong, good and bad in his heart, thinking that what he thinks is what people think.
He renounced human desires, did not feel the normal feelings of others, and did not have personal experience, how could he push himself and others and observe human feelings?
Therefore, he often imposes his own wishes on others in the name of righteousness and goodness, and he thinks that treating all living beings in the world equally is the greatest compassion and mercy.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and he regards all things as dogs, and he regards himself as the way of heaven.
He thought that banishing Hua Qiangu, imprisoning Hua Qiangu, and escaping Hua Qiangu's feelings was the greatest pity and love, but the result was that Hua Qiangu was bruised all over his body, hurting his body and heart.
"You never asked me what I wanted, do you think I'll be happy if you do this?" Hua Qiangu's rhetorical question can be described as a broken sentence, hitting Bai Zihua's heart.
Bai Zihua put himself in the dilemma of protecting the common people of the world and protecting Hua Qiangu, and he finally killed Hua Qiangu with his own hands for the sake of the common people of the world.
If his ruthlessness is for the sake of the common people, then can a ruthless person really protect the common people? Bai Zi drew his own love, forbade his desires, and was in a high place, and the high place was unbearable, and the high and low were low.
All living beings have seven emotions and six desires, he does not eat the fireworks of the world, does not care about the warmth and coldness of people, it is not so much to protect the common people, but to watch from the sidelines.
The reincarnation of the world, the vicissitudes of life, the joys and sorrows, love and hatred, birth, old age, sickness and death of mortals, are just passing by for him.
The common people are only limited to the common people, they are generational, they are fluid, they are faceless, they are homogeneous, they are not real individuals, but a concept.
If you don't understand the feelings of the world, how can you protect the world? Regardless of your personal feelings, how can you care for the world? Of course, Bai Zihua is not only a ruthless person, he is also a person who abides by principles.
How ridiculous and ridiculous is it that he opposes affection and propriety, and when there is a contradiction between affection and propriety, he gives up affection and protects propriety? There is no shortage of disputes over affection and propriety in history, and there have been many classic discussions on the relationship between affection and propriety in Confucianism.
The starting point of Confucian discussion is benevolence, which originates from the human heart and is the most authentic emotion that exists in the relationship between people.
What is benevolence? Forgiveness, do not do to others what you do not want to be done.
Tracing the roots, to have benevolence, first to have desire, desire is to have affection, benevolence from the hearts of the people, to the outside, how to treat people appropriately, cut off righteousness.
The standard of righteousness is still in the human heart, and righteousness is cultivated in the contact and interaction with people, in the comparison of the heart with the heart, and in the experience of other people's feelings.
In the Five Lun, you can learn the proper way of treating others through contact, that is, righteousness, outside of the Five Lun, in a farther and larger scope, it is difficult to achieve the experience, and this is the norm of etiquette.
Etiquette, in the final analysis, is still created according to the standard of human affection and the standard of righteousness.
It can be said that love comes first, etiquette comes last, love and etiquette are compatible and complementary relationships, and it is absurd to oppose love and etiquette.
Further, the rite is born in love, and the sacrifice of love and protection can be described as the sacrifice of the roots, dare to ask if the skin does not have hair, and will be attached? Therefore, it is necessary to have affection to protect the common people, and how can ruthlessness help the world?
The tragedy of Bai Zi's painting lies in the fact that he himself is a contradiction, he himself is obsessed but teaches others to let go of his obsessions, he himself is ruthless but wants to protect the world's sentient beings, he himself separates love and courtesy, and puts himself in the whirlpool of love and courtesy.
His highest pursuit conflicts so badly with his code of conduct that he will never be able to escape the catastrophe of life and death, and what he cannot escape is the catastrophe he has set for himself after all.
Ouyang Fei didn't expect that with these three words, he would be able to make Bai Zihua let go of his obsession and face his relationship with Hua Qiangu calmly.
Therefore, if you want to give Hua Qiangu a happy ending, you need the help of these "outsiders" after all, well, it's good to kill Qianmo, if it doesn't make sense, just force it.
"Bai Zihua, if you dare to hurt her for your disciples, I will slaughter you, if you dare to hurt her for the people of the world, I will kill all the people in the world. ”
This is very domineering and touching, but unfortunately, his strength is not good, and he can't do what he said, so, can Ouyang Fei do it?
Hehe, Ouyang Fei said, don't be too simple, Tu Chang will stay full of doors, and after integrating the power of the desolation, that is, with a wave of his hand, it is easier to destroy the world, and a T virus is enough.
Of course, Ouyang Fei would not directly force Bai Zihua to be with Hua Qiangu, and even Hua Qiangu would not accept this approach.
He will only force him to give up the position of head of the family for a long time, and from then on he will go into hiding, not asking about the world, and the rest can only rely on Hua Qiangu himself, this is already the ultimate that Ouyang Fei can do for Hua Qiangu, with her "invincible" character and tenacity, Ouyang Fei believes that she can do it.
