Really, know yourself?

Before Qu Zhengfeng asked this question, she thought that she knew it: she was in Xihai Zen Buddhism, because of the past self turned into a demon, got the opportunity, realized the way of "me", thought that everything yesterday became the present me, and the present I am the true self;

It's a seemingly simple question, but when it comes to answering, I don't think it's possible to start it.

Qu Zhengfeng didn't urge her, just raised his eyes to look at her, with a bit of undisguised scrutiny in his eyes.

When he saw the sorrow, his brows gradually wrinkled.

After a while, she was sure, "I don't necessarily know myself, but I know myself." Know what kind of temperament you are, what your ambitions are, what you want to do, and what choices you will make in different situations. If people in the world know six points about themselves, I should have eight points. ”

It's not conceit, it's self-confidence.

When she said to the heavens, "My way is myself", she had surpassed countless conservative monks in this world, to a point that ordinary people could hardly reach.

But even so, I didn't dare to say it all.

So Qu Zhengfeng laughed out loud: "You are very bold, you dare to say such crazy words as eight points!"

"Maybe not eight, just seven, six, even five and four, but it's two points more than most people in the world. Seeing that he was worried, he didn't mind how Qu Zhengfeng evaluated himself, so he naturally didn't get angry, "It's just that since His Majesty the Sword Emperor asked me this question, he must think that he knows himself?"

"On the contrary, I didn't know anything about myself. ”

In front of him was a jade plate of delicacies, full of wine, Qu Zhengfeng's wide sleeved robe hung down from the desk for a few minutes, and when the wind blew, it swayed gently, which also led him to look at the hazy sky outside the building.

"But I know this world!"

The world, time;

The Boundary, the Space.

This world is this universe!

This sentence was originally a fluttering sentence in the Quzheng outlet, just like the most ordinary sigh when countless sages looked up at the galaxy since ancient times, but it gave people a thrilling feeling!

Who would dare to say—

Know this world for yourself?!

Seeing that Chou was sitting across from this long case, when he heard his question clearly, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked at him with an almost incredulous look.

Qu Zhengfeng laughed out loud.

He seemed to know the ripples that this sentence had set off in his heart, and when he turned his head to see her reaction, he was also extremely calm.

"Heaven and earth are vast, you are a human being, but you are only one of these ten thousand people, and man is only one of ten thousand beings in the world. In the first life, man fears death with a stripe of life, hunger for food, thirst for water, weep when he is with him, clamor when he agrees, and eat if he has it, without scruples, and his nature is no different from all the other unintelligent beings in the world. As the years go by, we know that there are rules in the world, cause and effect are right and wrong, hunger and thirst are outside, and desires are born in the heart, but we dare not violate the rules of the world. For a long time, there are thoughts of good and evil, good and evil, and the distinction between honesty and shame, and the so-called 'gentleman and saint nature' of the world is above the desires of nature, although hunger refuses to steal neighbors' food, although death does not violate the way of ethics. ”

When he said this, he was a little more sarcastic.

"Mortals are born in the world, survival is instinct, even stealing is not guilty, and later you will find that stealing will pay a price, so you will use the rules of this world to satisfy your desires, but there is still a recognized morality between heaven and earth, and over time, morality will always exist in your heart, but it can make you forcibly suppress your desires, even at the cost of death......"

One is nature, one is compromise, and the other is transcendent.

"You say that you know yourself eight points, but you know what your nature is, what desires you have, and what constraints you are bound by?"

Qu Zhengfeng drank the wine in the middle of the night, in fact, he was already a little drunk, but on the eve of the storm, the wine was just right here.

Then, he asked her meaningfully.

"Also, do you agree with the so-called righteousness and goodness, justice and morality in this world, and do you feel that if one day, survival and morality are contrary, you will choose to sacrifice your life, and would rather die than fulfill the so-called 'morality'?"

“……”

There was a long silence when I saw sorrow.

Above the tall building, there is no starlight in the high part of the sea of stars tomorrow, but in this huge basin, there are still many lights, and it looks like a flickering glory from afar.

Human beings may be simple, but human nature is complex.

Although Qu Zhengfeng only said this, she actually thought of a lot. In this short but long moment, an endless number of ideas came together.

She knew at once what Qu Zhengfeng really wanted to say.

He wanted to tell her that there is no axiom and morality in the world, but because there are more people in the world, and survival and desire are the most primitive nature of all people, and there is a conflict between the needs of nature and the needs of nature, so the so-called "rules" in the world were born.

Seeing sorrow, I had a faint premonition that some of the original things in my heart began to shake, began to peel off, and slowly something new was injected in, gradually filling in the cracks that were shaking and peeling.

The wine cup on the table sat for a while, and she didn't move.

But in this moment of silence, she watched for a long time, and finally reached out and picked it up, and drank it slowly.

Mellow wine, a little too strong.

I don't know what kind of immortal medicine Immortal Valley is used to brew, in addition to the sweetness, there is also a faint bitter taste.

When the wine enters the throat, it burns wherever it goes.

It wasn't until she put down the wine cup that she said: "You want to tell me that we are human beings, and there is no difference between them and all things in heaven and earth, and they are afraid of life and death, but it is only because people restrain each other that there is the so-called distinction between good and evil, good and evil." Moreover, the good and evil, good and evil of human beings are not the good and evil of all other things in the world, and the measure of human beings is not the measure of all things. It's just that people have spirituality, so they come up with countless rules in this world to restrain themselves. But all the rest of the things do not, and all their nature is the nature and animal nature of life and desire at the beginning of heaven and earth. In other words, you want me to put aside justice and morality to interrogate the nature and bestiality that have been hidden in my heart. ”

"It is worthy of being a person who can successfully ask his heart with the body of heavenly void, and he can understand it at one point. Qu Zhengfeng began to feel interesting, because he noticed it, sensed the resistance of seeing sorrow, "But you don't seem to be willing to face your own nature, or do you not want to face your own nature in front of me?"

"It's that I have a natural beastly nature, and it's also a time when I was ignorant in the past. I know I have, but I don't have to look back. What I am is is the original self, the compromised self and the transcendent self of all this, and all the causes of the past are what I am today. It's not that they don't want to face their own nature, and even if they say that they are beastly, they won't return to the relationship between nature and animal nature. The rules of the world may be shackles, but they have been deeply rooted in my heart and carved into my bones, and it is difficult to change them. ”

Seeing that I stopped thinking about it, I suddenly became a little clear.

"The frog at the bottom of the well only knows the world at the bottom of the well, and if people are in this world, they have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but they can only know this world, and cannot transcend the world. The same is true in the human world. ”

"Then don't you know it very clearly?" Qu Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows, and his gaze at her was insightful, and he was very amused at this time, "You are very clear that you have your own position, unless you overturn and start over, you are the one in the world at this moment, you can't ask for it, but why do you want to ask for it, and you want to ask for a good and evil, good and evil and truth that are different from the world?"

The wine jug was picked up, hooked on his fingertips, and lightly lit, Qu Zhengfeng took a while before he said: "Unless, what you care about is not only the so-called supreme truth in this world......

Seeing that the sorrow suddenly fell into silence, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled, and when he looked back at him, his eyes were calm: "You are asking very right, I am indeed forcing and asking." I want to know that the truth in this world is good, but the cause is not because of the truth itself, but because I have encountered a problem and I can't answer it, I don't know where I'm going to go and what to do. One is in the game, unable to detach himself from the various morals and axioms of the world, and the other is trapped in people's emotions, and has doubts about some truths and cannot make decisions. In the end, it's because you care. I remember that decades ago, when I was still in Yashan, I received a thunder letter on the bank of Guihejing, and His Majesty the Sword Emperor was also present at that time, and I asked if this letter was from a demon......?

“……”

At this moment, the silence suddenly turned into Qu Zhengfeng, his calm and cold eyes with the majesty that he had accumulated over the years of dominating the sea of stars, he looked at it like this, and it took a long, long time before he laughed out loud.

"It turned out to be his ......"
