According to legend, when Sakyamuni was born, he pointed one finger at the sky and the other at the earth, claiming that he was the only one in heaven and earth.
The "I" here refers to self-awareness.
If my life ceases to exist, the world will be nothing.
All kinds of things in the human world, the love, hatred, beauty, and ugliness we experience, can only be viewed with awareness.
Therefore, I am the only one in heaven and under heaven.
Then Chu Qianqiu has reached the end of his career at the peak of martial arts, and needs an inspiration and opportunity to determine his own path and find the "only self" path.
Power, force, wealth, beauty, and love and hate in the world can all be turned into roads.
Which path should Chu Qianqiu choose?
How to become a heavenly being is not the most important thing. After all, if you have not reached the last level of "only oneself", how can you talk about being a heavenly being?
So he hugged Liu Ruxin and fell into deep thinking.
After all, after people are happy, they will think about some profound philosophical issues and enter the state of sage.
"What is the master worried about?"
"Maybe I can help give you some ideas."
Liu Ruxin asked in a low voice.
She never thought that her destiny would have such a huge deviation. Originally, she was the only daughter of the Liu family who did not choose a son-in-law, and her status in the Liu family was somewhat inferior, so she was sent to Fengzhou to become a prince and run Qixiu.
Pavilion, please contact Hehuan Sect by the way.
I didn't expect that the Hehuan Sect would fall so quickly, and even I would become a prisoner of Lord Zhongwu.
But Liu Ruxin was able to achieve the position of pavilion master, and she was obviously not a fool. She did not want to be a concubine who only served her because of her beauty.
Liu Ruxin can be called a beauty, but she is definitely not a beauty, so she must show greater value.
However, when Chu Qianqiu heard it, he didn't take it seriously.
"My wife's cultivation level is a little low, so it's not of much use."
"It just adds to the worries."
How can a warrior who is in the early stage of Xiantian discuss the issue of peak martial arts?
"What you said is wrong."
"There is a saying in Fengzhou that ants who work together eat deer with horns, and magpies who work together catch tigers."
"I am of low physical strength, but I can still discuss some important matters with my husband, and I may even be able to provide some inspiration."
Liu Ruxin was not a person who gave up easily. She rubbed Chu Qianqiu's chest and said very seriously.
"Forget it, just tell the lady."
Chu Qianqiu briefly explained the difficulties of the solitary approach, and then looked at the woman in his arms with a smile.
"Madam, have you got an idea?"
"I really don't know how to answer."
"But I think of something that may be of help to your husband."
"Oh, ma'am, it's okay to talk."
Chu Qianqiu said with great interest that regardless of whether what Liu Ruxin said was helpful or not, her willingness to make such a gesture was a happy thing in itself.
"For example, Sakyamuni from Buddhism and Taishang Laojun from Taoism, they all have one distinctive feature."
"What characteristics?"
"They are all different from ordinary people and do not follow the rules."
"Worldly wealth, power, and beauty are not attractive things to them."
"They are not subject to worldly vision or demands and pursue their own ideas firmly."
"This may also be a kind of self-centeredness."
Even society's requirements for individuals cannot restrain them.
This is also a kind of solipsism.
After all, man is a social creature, and there are very few people who truly implement their own will and live their own lives.
Parents' expectations, moral precepts, and social requirements will all constrain a person's behavior.
"What do you mean, madam, are you too observant for your husband?"
Chu Qianqiu nodded, understanding what Liu Ruxin meant.
"I don't know if this is correct."
"But in my eyes, my husband is a good person, sometimes too good."
"I am a good person?"
Chu Qianqiu looked at Liu Ruxin in his arms. In a sense, they just met today, and then they made the great harmony of life.
Although he didn't do much coercion, he wasn't really a good person.
"In the past, Taizu Xiao fell in love with the saint of Tianyin Sect and directly ordered her to be snatched away."
"It was just that it was later transformed into a match made in heaven. Even Tianyinmen themselves forgot this period of history."
The Liu family has a long history. They can be traced back to the time when Qilin Academy was still in existence. Naturally, they have accumulated a lot of historical texts. Liu Ruxin is one of the few people in the Liu family who likes to read documents, so she naturally knows a lot of historical truths.
This made Chu Qianqiu listen with gusto.
It turns out there is such a thing.
"Compared to other big shots, my husband is indeed a good person."
"That's why the Liu family chose the Hehuan Sect instead of the Chu family."
Liu Ruxin lowered her head and said.
"My lady is right."
"Many big people do things as they please, probably to explore the path of [only me]."
Just like Xu Guogong ordered the massacre of the city and even allowed his son to do whatever he wanted. This in itself is a feeling that a big man does not need to be subject to various restrictions.
Xu Guogong deliberately raised his son in this way. Part of it was for his own pleasure. The other part was probably to make arrangements in advance to help Xu Shi'an develop a demon king so that he could reach the peak of martial arts in the future and advance to heaven in one go. Note: Chapter 632
Another example is the emperors of the Xiao family. They used the power in their hands to do whatever they wanted, and they could easily count dozens or twenty things. As for the bastard things they did, there were even more.
Things like large-scale construction projects, building a star observatory, ordering the selection of concubines, selecting beauties from all over the world, etc., are only more absurd, not the most absurd.
Do you really have to be a bad person to break through the realm of "only me"?
Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered a philosopher from his previous life. He called people who were gentle, humble, long-lived, did not quarrel with others, and were immersed in happiness the last person. (Note 1)
The character corresponding to the Last Man is called Superman and pursues excellence.
This seems to be somewhat similar to the realm of "only me".
"Then Madam Ruxin, do you want to be a bad person for your husband?"
Chu Qianqiu came out of his thousands of thoughts.
"I naturally hope that my husband is a good person."
"But if I want to be a bad guy, then I hope that my husband will be the most successful bad guy."
Liu Ruxin hugged Chu Qianqiu tightly. She had already staked her fate and naturally hoped to have the last laugh.
"Madam, don't worry."
"My husband has the ability to be a good person, and he is the worst kind of person."
"The worst good guy?" Liu Ruxin asked with some confusion.
"Like now."
Chu Qianqiu had a wicked smile on his face and started to move, while Liu Ruxin repeatedly begged for mercy and shouted:
"Husband, stop, this won't work."
"Husband, please spare me."
The two of them were in the room again and did something indescribable.
After Chu Qianqiu was happy, she thought about Liu Ruxin's words again.
"Is it because I have done too many good things recently and I want to do something bad?"
"But what bad thing can I do?"
"You can't imitate Emperor Taizu and kidnap the Wushuang Princess of Daxia."
…
Just as Chu Qianqiu was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and his recently hired personal maid Tang Waner came to report.
"Sir, there is a warrior who claims to be your personal guard and is looking for you."
"What's his name?"
"He claimed to be Yang Guang, but his subordinates could not confirm the authenticity."
