Episode 2087 Chase the Wolf and the Tiger
On the surface, a person can change by changing the environment, so most people in the world keep changing the environment in an attempt to solve the conflicts in life.
But essentially, when you change the environment, the biggest change is the change in pressure.
In a better environment, the pressure is reduced, and one person can calmly solve certain things, which may lead to changes in life. But true nobility depends on conduct under pressure.
With money and leisure, most people can pretend to be noble. Only those who can remain consistent under heavy pressure have a firm will.
The fundamental reason why nouveau riche cannot become aristocrats is because of lack of integrity. Whether a person can change depends essentially on his perseverance.
Therefore, Li Babai is still Li Babai!
In another world, even if he kills himself, there will be traces of what Li Babai did.
Shen Yue pondered, "Li Babai should be a figure from the Li family?" He heard Shui Qingmeng talk about Si Dao, and he still remembered it.
Shui Qingmeng nodded, knowing what Shen Yue was thinking, "Wang Yuanzhi is the master of Maoshan Road."
"The Taoist master of Louguan Tao..."
Before Shen Yue could ask, Tianya already said, "That man's name is Pei Ju."
Nie Shan finally said, "That person who was flattering in the Sui Dynasty but loyal to the Tang Dynasty?" He was familiar with history and knew that Pei Ju had been in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasties, and had always been a high-ranking official. He was indeed a figure.
It’s not surprising that a person is honored occasionally. Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?
But loyal ministers in the previous dynasty will be rebellious in the new dynasty. This is an almost unchangeable law. It is by no means simple for a person to remain firmly at the top of the temple after three dynasties.
Nie Shan knew that Pei Ju was not simple, but he did not expect that this man was actually very related to Zhang Jiao.
Tianya said slowly, "Perhaps Pei Ju's most loyal person is just himself."
Everyone was silent.
Shen Yue smiled and said, "Tianya, although you are naive, you finally see the world clearly."
Tianya said softly, "It's clear to see, but hard to understand."
Shen Yue knew that there was still one point of conflict in Tianya - because without self, Tianya still could not agree with some of the things that human beings who have self have done for themselves.
"A person who is most loyal to himself will naturally not be willing to be manipulated by Li Babai." Shen Yue speculated.
Tianya agreed, "That's true. He replaced himself quietly, and no one knew what methods he used."
Everyone was secretly feeling chilled, thinking that Pei Ju was as generous as Li Babai.
Tianya added: "When Li Babai found him, Pei Ju did not resist. He just said that all the obstacles lay with Sun Simiao. As long as Li Babai got rid of Sun Simiao, he would obey Li Babai."
"This is the art of driving away wolves and tigers."
Wanyan Loushi understood this immediately, "Pei Ju knew that Li Babai was not Sun Simiao's opponent. If he dealt with it this way, he would not have any conflict with Li Babai. Secondly, even if both Li Babai and Sun Simiao would lose in a fight, he would
You can reap the benefits of being a fisherman."
Tianya sighed softly, "If you had been there at that time, you would have become a figure."
Wanyan Loushi smiled and said, "Although I understand, I know that the past is like smoke, so how can I walk with ignorance?" What he said was truly sincere, and his heart had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Tianya murmured, "But Li Babai walked all the way to the dark side. He is also an extraordinary talent, and he quickly discovered Sun Simiao's loopholes."
Wanyan Loushi frowned and thought, "What flaws does Sun Simiao have?" From his point of view, Sun Simiao was almost a perfect man. If there were flaws, it was kindness.
Shen Yue pondered, "Sun Simiao originally left people speechless, but at the last moment, he was the only one who failed to reach the copy world. Could it be that Li Babai took advantage of this?"
Many people are puzzled.
Wanyan Loushi's eyes were slightly bright, and then he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile, "Just as it is, I missed Zhang Zhongjian. Zhang Zhongjian can become Li Babai's chess piece."
Shen Yue nodded slightly, "That must be the case."
Nie Shan was confused. He was a loyal and capable minister, but in terms of strategy, he was obviously not as good as Wanyan Loushi. He couldn't help asking, "How could Zhang Zhongjian be manipulated by Li Babai? In... the original world, he was not standing with Sun Simiao.
there?"
Wanyan Loushi raised her voice and said, "This moment, that moment! In the original world, Zhang Zhongjian was obviously moved by Sun Simiao's sincerity, and then decided to go with Sun Simiao. But in the switch between the two worlds, only Sun Simiao
Miao has not arrived to copy the world, which will inevitably make Zhang Zhongjian suspicious. With suspicion, twists and turns will arise. I think Li Babai will use Zhang Zhongjian's suspicion to attack Sun Simiao and repeat the scene of besieging Hulu Mingyue?"
Everyone sighed secretly, thinking that although what Wanyan Loushi said was not pleasant to listen to, he really observed human nature in detail, so it was no wonder that he was able to win many battles on the battlefield.
Fighting on the battlefield is also a competition of human nature.
Tianya said softly, "You are right. Among them, the most painful one is undoubtedly Zhang Zhongjian."
Nie Shan murmured, "Yes." He seemed to understand deeply.
Tianya suddenly asked, "Why do you think so?"
Nie Shan said calmly, "Because my conscience still exists, I am in great pain."
Everyone looked at Nie Shan's gray temples and thought to themselves that Nie Shan felt the same way.
People who forget their conscience will naturally not suffer. Pain is due to the struggle of conscience in contradictions - the four Taoist masters each have their own characteristics, Li Babai is crazy, Pei Ju is scheming, and Wang Yuanzhi is tactful and worldly. They are all used to living in the turbid world.
The world protects itself, no matter what method it uses.
Zhang Zhongjian may not be as firm as his name, but he has a conscience, and his conscience made him choose Sun Simiao. However, when he found that Sun Simiao was not what he had in mind, his conscience would be shaken.
The same is true for Nie Shan.
He was loyal to the Song family, but his conscience told him that such loyalty was not absolutely correct, which also made him painful.
When a person lives in a mistake, knows the mistake, but has to maintain the mistake, some people choose to be indifferent and turn a blind eye to the mistake, and some people choose to destroy their conscience and coexist with evil...
Only those who retain their conscience suffer the most!
Tianya said softly, "Nie Shan, you shouldn't think so. Although it is painful for you to retain your conscience, you also retain the last hope of enlightenment. Compared with those who make themselves completely insensitive and destroy their conscience, you retain hope.
"
Nie Shan's heart was slightly shaken, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for waking me up."
Soft light from the four walls gathered on Nie Shan's head and poured into his body. Nie Shan sat cross-legged, looking relieved.
Everyone knew that Tianya was helping Nie Shan clean up his chakra, and they were silent for a while.
After the light dissipated, Shen Yue said, "Tianya, when you told the story, you were full of hope. It seems that Zhang Zhongjian has defeated his inner demons?"
Everyone was startled, not wanting Shen Yue to be so sensitive.
Tianya did not directly answer the question, but just said, "Li Babai's schemes are endless. Although Sun Simiao at that time could communicate with himself in the original world, it was not that easy for Sun Simiao in the copied world to accept everything."
Everyone couldn't help but nod, thinking that this place was like the end of the world. With Shen Yue by his side, everyone was convinced of the strange changes in the space. This is just like what the disciples said to Sakyamuni in the "Diamond Sutra" - "Diamond Sutra"
The Sutra described all incredible phenomena. Subhuti and other disciples believed that what Sakyamuni said was true because of their firm belief in the World Honored One.
