Qin Xuan suddenly felt a little emotional. Along the way, before he gained fortune, he studied hard just to make his family's life better, and getting better was a kind of acquisition of daily necessities.
And these materials are resources!
That is everything that is needed for secular life, that is, what is often called food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and at this moment, he has easily obtained all of it!
Of course, materials are not everything. After all, people are not individuals, but groups. Therefore, there is love between people, such as friendship, teacher-student love, family love, love, brotherhood, colleagues...
However, for the former Qin Xuan, he needed to protect family ties, and obtaining supplies to improve his family's living conditions was also his pursuit!
Thinking about it now, if he had not been lucky, he would have been working part-time, working hard and making money after going to college. By then, he might have been a so-called successful person in society, and by that time, he had experienced the social changes.
He may not be as innocent as he was when he was a child!
Everything is for life!
Qin Xuan suddenly thought of a poem!
"Calligraphy, painting, music, chess, poetry, and wine were all inseparable from it back then. Now seven things have changed: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea."
This is a poem by Zhang Can in the Qing Dynasty, called "Play Title". In terms of category, it is a limerick, but in terms of essence, it is not oily at all. Not only is it not oily, but it is very "astringent". This "
"Astringent", permeated with substance and spirit.
From a material point of view, the wandering life of boyhood was eventually replaced by the real life of adulthood.
From a spiritual point of view, whether it is "calligraphy, painting, music, music, chess, poetry, wine, flowers" or other things, they are all blown away by the rain and wind. In the first sentence of the poem, it ends with "flower". In addition to phonological considerations,
In addition, in fact, when I taste it carefully at this moment, I don’t realize that it means a lot.
Because calligraphy and painting, whether it is playing music or playing chess, are actually "flowers".
Since it is a flower, it will wither.
Flowers are illusions. Flowers are short-lived. Only after they wither can we see the true nature of the plant.
Whether it is the "Grand View Garden" in "A Dream of Red Mansions" or "Boyhood", they are all walls. In this wall, you can pile up dreams as much as you want, and pile up all crystal clear and dream-like things.
But within the walls is not all of life, just a part of it.
No matter how beautiful life is within these walls, you have to come out.
Some people rush out of it voluntarily, early and impatiently, in order to experience the higher and broader world outside. Some people come out unwillingly, slowly and procrastinatingly, and some people never come out for the rest of their lives, just to experience the higher and broader world outside.
Don’t face the complicated, windy, rainy, muddy and vulgar world outside.
But for most people, whether they are willing or unwilling, they always have to come out.
Calligraphy, painting, music, chess, poetry, and wine were all inseparable in the past. Now these seven things have changed: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, this is the world outside the wall.
On a windy and rainy day, it is difficult to be decent, chic, and romantic.
There is no room for "one makes friends, one will live up to them forever", there is no room for "the mountain has no edges, the heaven and the earth are harmonious, so I dare to be with you", there is no room for "calligraphy, painting, music, chess, poetry and wine".
In "The White-Haired Girl", Huang Shiren's loser Mu Renzhi has a classic saying, "A poor man makes a living, but a rich man has a conscience."
This is naturally an "anti-society, anti-human" sentence, especially for the "poor" people mentioned in this sentence.
but……
In the face of life and death, many people will betray.
In the face of money, wealth and future, many people will betray.
There are people who don't betray, but not many.
If there is no pressure of life and death, if there is no difficulty of money, wealth and future, what kind of situation would it be? Presumably, many, many people would like to be glamorous and elegant.
This is the secular life, and by extension, in the spiritual world, the secular resources are only for a life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, but the resources of the spiritual world are for the pursuit of immortality!
Immortality may be everyone's pursuit from the soul. In the secular world, there may not be such a path. Therefore, when seizing the materials you want, the first thing that comes to mind is the law.
Because you desperately want to obtain this resource, but normal means cannot achieve it, then you must use abnormal means, and the first thing to use for these abnormal means is strategy, a combination of vertical and horizontal strategies. If you still cannot achieve it,
Only then did he reach the point where he took a desperate risk and drew his sword to kill someone!
And this is a worldly thing!
What about in the spiritual world?
Cultivation is for immortality, and the pursuit of immortality may be more tempting than anything in the secular world. And it is precisely this that makes the world of cultivation appear to be a hundred times more cruel than the secular world...
Whoever blocks my path to immortality is my enemy. I will draw my sword and stain the mountains and rivers with blood!
Therefore, if you want to have simple beauty, you must first have strength.
This is not the truth, but many times, it is a reality.
Betrayal includes betraying others and betraying oneself. It is easy not to betray others, but difficult not to betray oneself. But if you want not to betray, if you want not to go against your will, you must be strong.
Only by being strong can you be qualified not to betray.
Only when you are strong can you have the qualifications to "do whatever you want" and live in truth.
Only by being strong can you have the qualifications to build a grand view garden for yourself and others in the midst of wind, rain, dust and turmoil.
Only by being strong can you have the qualifications to fully appreciate, enjoy and even create "calligraphy, painting, chess, music, music, poetry and wine".
"Isn't a simple beauty..."
Qin Xuan is thinking, and his soul is also sublimating. If the sublimation of the soul when singing a laugh from the sea last night was a beginning, then this moment is a continuation, not only for that care, but also for the moment.
For all the simple beauty he wants, he needs...power!
Is it powerful...
I can do it. I want the people I care about to live without those plots and plots, without the life and death of life and death. I want the people I care about to live simpler and better lives...
I can do it!
Let me protect you from the wind and rain outside!
At this moment, Qin Xuan is so determined. Perhaps, this has always been his behavior, but at this moment, it is just because of Liu Shishi's words, because of her words, Qin Xuan's thoughts are extended, and his understanding is deeper!
"Qin Xuan, what are you thinking about?" Looking at Qin Xuan's stunned look, Liu Shishi couldn't help but wave her hand in front of Qin Xuan's eyes.
"ah!"
Qin Xuan retracted his thoughts and woke up, suddenly a little embarrassed, because this seemed to be his first time being stunned, and it was still at this moment.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just had some thoughts suddenly!"
"What do you think? Can you tell me what you think?"
Liu Shishi became somewhat interested. She was extremely curious about Qin Xuan. With such achievements at such a young age, the future must be limitless, and she was only a few months older than Qin Xuan!
This is what she found out from Cheng Tingting!
"This, do you really want to say it?"
"Of course, you don't have to say it!" Liu Shishi was a little angry!
"Ah, okay, I say!" Seeing this, Qin Xuan immediately surrendered, "Actually, I am just summarizing my dream!"
"dream?"
Liu Shishi looked at Qin Xuan strangely, then smiled, "Tell me about it and I'll give it to you for reference!"
She has always been very interested in other people's dreams, because dreams are other people's expectations for the future, and they can also tell a person's life pattern, although sometimes dreams cannot be easily realized.
And you can also reflect on yourself from other people's dreams, not to mention that this is Qin Xuan's dream, she immediately acted like she was listening!
"I actually have two dreams!"
Qin Xuan thought for a moment, and then said: "One is a dream of practice, and the other is a dream of life!"
"Tell me about it!" Liu Shishi was even more interested!
"Okay, let me first talk about my dream of practice!"
Qin Xuan took out a piece of fruit and gnawed on it while saying: "Other people's cultivation dreams are nothing more than a few, such as power over the world, hordes of beauties, immortality... But mine is much simpler, that is
When pursuing strong cultivation, let the people you care about live a good life and live a simple and relaxed life. On this basis, I also want to see the end of the cultivation road. If there is an end, what is it?
Such style..."
"Well, this cultivation dream is indeed simple!" Liu Shishi nodded, "What about your life dream?"
"Haha, this is even simpler!"
Qin Xuan finished eating the fruit in his hand, buried the core in the soil, then clapped his hands, stood up, and said: "I hope to have a vast grassland as far as the eye can see. Every morning, when the sun rises, I will be there."
On this big grassland, run against the sun.
The cool morning breeze blew past me. The dew on the grass blades hit my bare feet. I ran and ran until my whole body was dripping with sweat. At this time, there should be no dew at all.
The grass on the ground was warmed by the sun, so I lay on the grass and rolled around wantonly.
If you want your face to be up, turn your face up; if you want your back to be up, turn your back up. When my back is up, I will smell the grass; when my face is up, I will smell the sunshine.
"
"Such an activity will allow me to fully feel the vitality of life."
"When I come back, I will soak in the bathroom and let the warm water rinse my body clean. Then, I will feel that my whole body, mind, and the whole world are refreshed."
"When I feel like this, I will come outside and sit down on a bench, or half sit and half lie down on a wicker chair, and let the warm sunshine and peaceful wind accompany my breathing.
, spend a peaceful morning.”
"In the afternoon, I can do some thinking alone, or do some research, or chat with some wise people, so that life can become richer, deeper, and more colorful little by little."
"Then, I will cook some delicious food with my own hands to reward myself. When the sumptuous food is placed on the table, I will either taste it carefully or eat it generously depending on my mood at the time.
Eat and drink.
"After dinner, I will take a casual walk, or spend the evening with my relatives and friends in any ordinary way." "In the evening, I will recuperate my life in the deep sitting practice.
, and little by little, it condenses and improves. Then, when you open your eyes, it is a new day."
"Actually, these two dreams can be combined together, because life is also practice!"
"This dream is indeed simpler!" After listening to Qin Xuan's dream, Liu Shishi thought for a moment and could only say this. The fastest way to read the novel "Master" is on Kanshu.com, welcome to log in to read the full text!
