The second bitterness is called the old bitterness: there is a poem: "There is only white hair in the fair world, and the nobles will not be spared on their heads." "Old, no one can avoid it. Even if you are like us, practicing the immortal path and seeking immortality, if you can't break through the realm, you will end up in vain. When I am old, I still can't help but feel pale, my vision is vast, and my teeth are shaken. In addition to the decline of physiological functions, the backache, rheumatism, stomach diseases, etc., which are left due to the accumulation of hard work in the past, are unbearable pains, and aging is more cruel for women, because in addition to physical pain, women have the psychological pain of losing their youth. From bright eyebrows and bright teeth, goosebumps and goosebumps from the city and the country, and the old dragon clock, although it makes people sigh, but who can escape this old process?" Nangong Yuhuan sighed when he said this.

Not only Nangong Yuhuan sighed, but all the women present couldn't help but show some sad expressions more or less.

Without waiting for everyone to sigh, Nangong Yuhuan continued: "This third suffering is illness: people have formed an indissoluble bond with illness since the day they fell to the ground. Juvenile illnesses such as smallpox and measles, middle-aged illnesses such as five labors and seven injuries, and old age illnesses such as heart disease, perhaps those of us who practice should be less ill, and all of you here are in the palace, so why worry about not being able to cure your diseases? In the world of life, it is inevitable that there will be cold and heat disorders, when you are sick, you will lie on the sickbed and suffer the pain, and you will be fine for a short time, if you linger on the sickbed for many years, and you will be with medicine every day, how can this kind of pain be indescribable?"

Everyone nodded frequently after hearing this, and Nangong Yuhuan continued: "The fourth suffering is called death suffering: even the magic weapon in our hands has a lifespan of only tens of thousands of years, and we, as a flesh and blood body, cannot become immortals, and eventually become empty? If this is the case, it is not surprising that people want to die! However, "the great ambition dies before the body is paid", and every deceased person has a great ambition that he has yet to complete, so there are many people in the world who are not blind to death, and at the same time they suffer physical and mental pain before death, the four major separations, and difficulty breathing, and there are a thousand words in their hearts, but they cannot say a single word. At this time, the delicate child, surrounded by the couch, life and death parted, extremely miserable, especially when he was about to die, what he did in this life, good and evil, all reflected in his mind. Those who are good and worthy of their hearts will feel comfort and tranquility, but those who are evil and have a conscience will feel remorse, pain and horror. At this time, because of the pain and terror, the hell is inspired, and the divine consciousness is drawn by karma and falls into the evil path.

Nangong Yuhuan said: "The first four kinds of suffering are already annoying, but this is the law of heaven and earth, and it is also a helpless thing, but the last three kinds of suffering are enough to annoy, and the relationship between love and affection makes people give birth to nameless karmic fire." ”

"Oh, what kind of suffering is that?" asked Ru Concubine in surprise.

Nangong Yuhuan said: "The fifth bitter name is love and parting from suffering: Yuyun: "Le Mo Lexi new acquaintance, sad and sad parting," life and death parting, human tragedy, youth widowhood, middle-aged loss of children, although grief, even if it is not death, or for the sake of seeking food and clothing, or because of the situation, and the life of love, will also feel pain. However, there is no feast in the world that will not be separated, and it is as close as a father and son, as close as a husband and wife, and it is rare to stay together for life, not to mention anything else? ”

As soon as Nangong Yuhuan said this, everyone was silent, and for a while they all thought that they were born in the palace and parted from their family and friends. 'This is true of the Houmen, let alone the Imperial Palace?'

Nangong Yuhuan said again: "The sixth bitter name is called resentment and hatred: it is the opposite of love and bitterness." Like-minded friends, lovers who swear to each other, loving couples, or children who are happy under their knees, or birth and death, all can not be autonomous. But on the contrary, those who are hateful, whose language is dull, or who have conflicting interests, who are incompatible, gather together. Helplessly, there are many complicated personnel problems in society, and "it is not that they do not complain about their families and do not get together." In certain situations, the more people who hate each other, the more they are arranged together, as if there is no longer time to disperse, and this is not even more distressing?

Everyone smiled bitterly when they heard it, thinking about it, it seems that this is really the case, they are really dumb and can't say that they are suffering from eating Coptis chinensis. Nangong Yuhuan said again: "The seventh is not bitter: if you want to get a certain thing, you can't reach the economic power; if you want to seek a certain position, you can't find more monks and less porridge." A man falls in love with an otome but otome falls in love with C man. His ambition is to be an elite disciple in the sect and become an immortal, but in order to eat, he has to entrust himself to be a waiter. These are all things that cannot be suffered. Don't say that you can't ask for it, even if the first wish is granted, the second wish is born immediately. The valley is easy to fill, and people's desires are difficult to settle, who will feel that they are satisfied with everything? If they are not satisfied, that is, they ask for something, and they cannot ask for it, will they not be distressed?"

Nangong Yulan sighed and said: "Just now I was still envious of my sister, I can cultivate to the stage of transformation so quickly, don't look at my current brocade clothes and jade food, but I am even more jealous of her cultivation, this is what I can't ask for!"

Everyone said in unison: "What Concubine Lan said is true." ”

Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile: "Don't envy me, don't envy me, if you can be brave and diligent when you practice, your achievements will definitely not be lower than mine, after all, the resources in the palace are still quite rich." ”

"Hey, forget it, don't talk about this, anyway, we'll be in a while and a half, this cultivation can't catch up with Sister Yuhuan, sister, let's talk about the last suffering. Concubine Qiang simply stopped thinking about it and urged.

Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly and said: "The eighth and fifth yin is full of suffering: the five yin is the five aggregates, and the five yin are gathered into a body, like a blazing fire, and the first seven sufferings are born from this." The color is blazing, the four major imbalances, and there is the suffering of disease. Accept the yin and the fire, accept the separation, so that all the sufferings turn to the extreme: want to be yin and prosperous, want to pursue each other, and there is love and parting, resentment will be, and you can't ask for all suffering. The line is blazing, and all the karma is the cause of the later retribution, and because of the line, the flow is non-stop, and there is the pain of old age. Knowing the yin is blazing, confusion is created, three generations are circulating, and there is the pain of life and death. These are the eight sufferings of life. ”
