Now that Xu Yourong's blood vessels and true essence have been exhausted, he is very weak, not to mention fighting, he can't even walk. So, her question, do you want to die, not only does not have such a sense of pride, nobility and domineering, but it is a bit ridiculous. Of course, in Chen Changsheng's eyes, this kind of ridiculousness may be more like cuteness.
He smiled and said: "If you are not sick, how can you have such a ridiculous idea."
Xu Yourong tried hard to control her emotions, and said, "How ridiculous is this idea?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I said that there is no perfect person in the world. If you can't be perfect, you will feel ashamed if you are worse than others. Isn't this absurd? The Pope's level of raising potted plants is not as good as that of Baicao Garden." He should be ashamed of the gardener here? The empress of the Holy Empress is not as delicate as the needlework of the women of Wenshui City, so should she be ashamed too?"
Xu Yourong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I'm talking about an attitude towards life. Only by living with this attitude can you become more perfect."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that this kind of attitude is unacceptable, but have you ever thought that if what you value is attitude as you said, then as long as we keep working hard, we won't be able to say that our There is no possibility of perfection, since the outcome is not decided, why should we be ashamed in advance?"
"As for inferiority complex, it's even more impossible." He took out a freshly roasted root from the fire and handed it to her, replaced the slightly cold one in her hand, and continued: "I can't do it now, It doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future, and even if you can't do it all the time, what's the point? Effort should come from the desire from the heart, not from the psychological gap caused by comparing with others. As long as you really work hard, then That's enough."
Xu Yourong remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Changsheng continued: "I think you should think clearly. Others' hopes for us are not important, what we hope for is really important. Shouldn't people live for themselves?"
Xu Yourong raised her head and glanced at him.
Chen Changsheng understood what she meant, and said, "Of course we must bear the responsibilities that should be borne, but we should still live for ourselves, and the latter should be higher than the former."
Xu Yourong thought for a while and said, "I can't understand."
Chen Changsheng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually."
After this conversation, he found that the girl was like a hedgehog in the forest, always on guard against something, easily hurting the flowers and plants around her and her kind hands, and easily hurt herself, or because of this, she was in Under the calm, calm and powerful appearance, she is so sensitive and slender.
He said before that perfection was just following her words. In fact, he never thought about it. He thinks her way of thinking is weird, so he thinks she is sick. Is there any ordinary person who would regard perfection as the goal of life? , Once you find that you can't achieve absolute perfection, will you have self-denial and depreciation
"There's some truth to what you're saying, or it might make life easier, but if..."
Xu Yourong hesitated for a while, and asked for advice: "The education I received since I was a child makes me unable to accept your point of view, so how should I face this pressure?"
Chen Changsheng pointed to the rhizome in her hand, and said, "Eat it while it's hot, and let's chat casually."
Xu Yourong tore off the slightly scorched skin of the root according to his words, and accompanied by a stream of hot steam, a faint fragrance also wafted out.
Chen Changsheng said: "First of all, we have to know what we want to do most, what is the purpose of living."
Seeing her expression, he hurriedly said: "Don't say the word perfect again. Perfection is used to describe the degree, not the specific fact."
Xu Yourong thought for a while and said, "The thing I want to do the most is to cultivate the Tao."
"Then cultivate the Tao," he said.
Xu Yourong was a little unhappy, thinking that you are fooling people.
Chen Changsheng explained: "Aside from cultivating the Tao, you don't think about other things."
Xu Yourong said: "But those things still exist."
Chen Changsheng said: "When you close your eyes, it becomes dark. If you don't look at the world, the world doesn't exist."
Xu Yourong said: "How can you convince yourself with idealistic words, and cultivating the Tao is just a means, not an end."
Chen Changsheng looked at her, recalling what he had seen and heard along the way, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of your cultivation should be... to become stronger?"
Xu Yourong said: "Only if you are strong enough can you take on the responsibilities you should bear."
Chen Changsheng said helplessly, "Can we forget the word responsibility first?"
Xu Yourong said seriously: "Don't dare or forget for a while."
Chen Changsheng thought about it seriously, and said, "Then I suggest that before you become the strongest person, temporarily forget about this goal, and put all your energy into the method of cultivating the Tao."
Xu Yourong said: "Without a goal, how can you walk steadily?"
Chen Changsheng said: "That proves that your goal is not firm enough to be shaken. If that goal has already penetrated into your blood, why do you need to remind yourself all the time?"
Xu Yourong thought for a while, and said, "That makes sense... What about your goal of cultivating Taoism? Have you forgotten it?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Chen Changsheng was quiet for a while, and said, "What I seek is longevity."
What he cultivates is to follow his heart, and what he seeks is the way of longevity.
"Is there any benefit in doing this?" Xu Yourong asked.
Chen Changsheng understood that she was asking about the benefits of keeping one's mind and forgetting about it, not about the benefits of seeking longevity.
For this approach, he is the only one in the world who can understand the specific benefits—because the goal he wants to pursue is itself a great pressure—the shadow of death has been shrouded in the end of his road, waiting for him, And it was getting closer and closer. If he hadn't learned to forget about this matter, he might have already turned into a lunatic under the pressure of a great terror.
Why, starting from the old temple in Xining Town, he has been cultivating his mind? Because if his mind is not clear, he has no way to live normally. How can I have a smooth mind under such terrifying pressure? You can only forget, but remember your original thoughts, and live like that instinctively. Only in this way can you be peaceful and happy.
His voice kept ringing, it was very calm, not fast, but the meaning was very clear, no matter how violent the wind and snow outside the temple was, it couldn't be suppressed.
The door of the ruined temple had been broken a long time ago, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles drifted in, most of which were blocked by the bonfire, and some fell on his face, just like the firelight fell on his face.
The cold wind and the warm firelight merged into a breeze.
Xu Yourong listened very carefully, looking at his face, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
This young man seems to have read all the world, but he is not old-fashioned, but still full of vigor, like a ray of breeze, which makes people feel very comfortable.
