Chapter 40: In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate!

"Xiang Gongzi go slowly, welcome to come next time!" the shopkeeper sent Xiang Yu out with a smile on his face.

Xiang Yu nodded and walked away.

After a while, Xiang Yu returned to his Shangshan Courtyard, thought for a while, and walked straight towards the study.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Xuanji sitting next to the desk, concentrating on writing and drawing there, completely meticulous, so that after Xiang Yu opened the door and entered the room, he didn't pay attention to him.

Xiang Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, she is still a girl who loves to learn, and it is not in vain that she deliberately took time out to tutor her in her studies in addition to her cultivation, and she may be able to be a talented girl like Lingyun in the future, and she taught it by herself, I don't know what will happen to the two of you, it must be very interesting." ”

Xiang Yu thought in his heart.

However, when he made up one day that Yu Xuanji and Sheng Lingyun were competing for literary talent, he suddenly couldn't help but think in another direction.

First of all, Sheng Lingyun's exquisite face came to mind, as if the Zhong Lingxiu in heaven and earth had all gathered on her body, with a slender and graceful figure, captivating the country and the city. Especially in the few days I spent with Xiang Yu before, that kind of delicate and gentle appearance can instantly conquer the hearts of all men.

Look at Yu Xuanji again, although she once had a bad background, she even wandered on the streets. But the almost flawless face, the beautiful and exquisite, the delicate body that is not stained with fine dust, the manlike willow, a pair of sharp and scorching eyes, is as cold as a star, and the skin is as white as transparent, which is simply gorgeous.

The whole person is cold and lonely, cold and cold!

Alive, both of them are a generation of stunning!

What am I thinking?

Xiang Yu's face suddenly turned red, why did he want to be crooked unconsciously, even if he is not a gentleman, but he can be a righteous person, how can he be confused by a woman, and he is guilty of sin.

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Xiang Yu walked gently towards Yu Xuanji.

"Hyun Ji, where is today's idiom written, so serious. ”

Xiang Yu asked, and his head leaned up.

"Ah?!!h

Although Xiang Yu's voice was very soft, the inquiry exploded in Yu Xuanji's ears like thunder, and she was shocked that she accidentally shook a drop of pen and ink on the paper she was writing.

Yu Xuanji hurriedly wanted to pull the paper under her body and hide it, but found that the paper was pressed under the weight, and she didn't do so for a while.

"Huh??"

Seeing Yu Xuanji's work, Xiang Yu was stunned and looked confused, because Yu Xuanji was not writing at all, but drawing a portrait. And if it is an ordinary painting and calligraphy, it is nothing, but the problem is that Xiang Yu can see at a glance that this painting is not himself, although just now Yu Xuanji accidentally dropped a drop of ink on the position of his left eye, causing some blurry, but it is not difficult to see at all.

"Brother Xiang Yu, why did you come in without any sound. Yu Xuanji pretended to be calm and said.

"You painted so seriously that you didn't even see me come in. Xiang Yu was amazed, looking at this masterpiece, not to mention, the painting was really like, and he couldn't help but look at Yu Xuanji meaningfully.

"You're mistaken, I... I'm drawing a person in my dream, not you. Yu Xuanji's face flushed, her eyes dodged and looked at the beam, her expression fluctuating.

"Ao~, it's the person in the dream, I said the appearance of this talent, how can there be a second one in the world, it's so handsome. Xiang Yu knew this, and teased with a wicked smile.

"Boom!"

Yu Xuanji took a sip in a low voice, how could she still have her usual cold appearance, she was very shy.

"Ahem, don't talk about that, but have you finished writing today? Xiang Yu put away the hippie smile and said with a serious face.

"Written, written. Seeing that Xiang Yu was no longer talking about this portrait, Yu Xuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really too shy, and hurriedly pulled out today's practice pen from the paper next to her.

"Well, yes, the handwriting is beautiful, and it has indeed made great progress. After Xiang Yu looked at it carefully, he couldn't help nodding, and then said: "Is there anything you don't understand about these idioms, you can ask me now." ”

"There are indeed two idioms that make me a little confused, and I hope Brother Xiang Yu will answer for me. Yu Xuanji settled down and replied.

"Well, let's talk about it. Xiang Yu nodded.

"The first is this idiom called 'seeing no complete cow', according to the literal meaning, my understanding is that people have no concept of the overall situation and cannot see the essence of things. ”

Yu Xuanji pointed to an idiom she had written on paper.

"Haha, that's not how it is understood. This 'eyeless cow' is recorded in ancient books, a person who killed a cow for the first time, saw the whole cow, three years later, the technology is proficient, when the knife is used, only the skin and bone gap, but not the whole cow. Later, it was used as a metaphor for skills to reach the realm of proficiency and handy. It's a compliment. ”

Xiang Yu explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Yu Xuanji thought for a while, then nodded as if she didn't understand, and then asked: "There is also this idiom called 'wind from nothing', I think it may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, because I once heard people in the village say that generally there must be holes when there is wind on the mountain." ”

"That's true, this 'groundless wind' is a reasonable and well-founded description, and what you villagers say is right. The ancients have long believed that there must be holes when there is wind, and holes are the conditions for the formation of wind. Xiang Yu agreed and nodded appreciatively.

"There's nothing I don't understand. Xiang Yu then asked.

"It's gone. ”

Yu Xuanji shook her head, obviously she learned it quite seriously, only these two idioms didn't understand.

"Well, today we will continue to explain a holy word. ”

Xiang Yu didn't waste any time, silently put away the portrait on the desk, took the pen and paper, and wrote a sentence in a dragon and phoenix dance.

I saw that there was great beauty in heaven and earth without saying anything, there was a clear law at four times without discussing it, and everything was justified without saying it!

This is a sentence in the ancient book "Zhuang Sheng", the idiom just said 'the eyes are not complete' from it, just twenty-four words, but full of heaven and earth. Xiang Yu said in awe, this "Zhuang Sheng" can have a great origin, it is written by a saint in ancient times, because the age is too long, it can no longer be verified, so people call the author Zhuang Sheng. Then Xiang Yu began to explain.

Literally, this means that heaven and earth have a unique beauty, that there are natural changes in the four seasons, and that all things live and die. This is all due to the origin of 'living in the form of death, and the power of heaven and earth', and in the face of the root of the universe, only to maintain a pious and reverent heart is the duty. ”

"Staying true to one's heart is a necessary prerequisite for experiencing beauty everywhere. But people's hearts are complex and changeable. Therefore, it is said in "Zhuang Sheng: Zaiyou" that when the human heart is rash, it is as hot as a scorched fire, and when it retreats, it is as cold as ice; the speed of change is so fast that it can travel to and from the four seas in an instant; when it is fine, it is quiet like an abyss; once it is launched, it is far away from the heavens, agitating and arrogant and difficult to restrain it. If we allow our senses and desires to pull us, then our minds will become the source of our troubles and the source of suffering, that is, the brilliance of life that is hidden in our hearts will be obscured, and we will not be able to live at peace for a moment. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but pause, people's hearts are unpredictable, who can know whether they are really good or bad. turned to look at Yu Xuanji, and seeing that she was still listening carefully, she continued.

Therefore, Zhuang Sheng proposed the method of "heart fasting" to cleanse and rectify the "heart", so that it can enter a state of emptiness and tranquility, that is, the heart is like a withered tree as mentioned in the book. The heart is like a withered tree, not to dry up the mind and make everything lifeless, but to gradually reduce the stimulation of the senses, external temptations, endless desires, and attachment to self-centered concepts and prejudices. After the 'heart fasting', the heart underwent a wonderful change, and the original brilliance covered by materialistic thoughts was revived, and Zhuang Sheng believed that the wonder of the human heart was nothing more than this. ”

Xiang Yu sighed that the reason why saints can become saints is that they have seen much more than ordinary people, their cognition is thorough, their virtues are evergreen, and they look at others, themselves, and themselves, which is incomparable.

"So, Xuan Ji, do you have any insights after hearing this? Xiang Yu finally asked.

Yu Xuanji tilted her head, thought for a long time, and said word by word: "There is the sun and the moon in the heart, and everything can be seen!"
