Chapter 13 Good Fortune and Bad Fortune
Han Taozi listened to Lan Qi's words, and was very puzzled in her heart, what is self-deception, what is good luck and good fortune? What does this have to do with loving the world?
"What Mr. said is too brief, I don't understand, I don't know if I can say it in detail?" Han Taozi asked.
"Don't call me sir anymore, you call me sir again, and we'll end there. It's really boring to talk like this, a new pot of tea has just been brewed, and we talk while drinking tea. Lan Qi said and hung up a sign, indicating that it was closed, and then took out a pot of tea, two bowls, and poured two bowls of tea each.
"May I ask Brother Lan Qi, what is self-deception?" After Lan Qi sat down, Han Taozi asked.
"I can't understand the great truths of the world, and I don't have the courage to face the suffering of the world. I had to close my eyes and see nothing; plug your ears so you can't hear anything; Then entertain yourself and indulge in your own fantasies. Lan Qi said.
"It's true that a lot of people hear incredible things and think they're all lies. When calamity comes, there is no ability to bear it at all. There is no problem with this when there is peace and stability; But in today's troubled times, it has become a source of suffering. I want to ask Brother Lan Qi, do you think my father is deceiving himself? Han Taozi sighed and said, and then told Han He about his experience of lecturing for more than ten years.
"Listening to what the girl said, your father is not deceiving himself, but he just realizes that he is powerless and chooses to do what he can within his ability. Your father has been lecturing for decades and has been suppressed by the Goddess Cult and the Fox Worship Sect, but he can still persevere, which is very valuable. Now attached to the power to teach, although there is no so-called integrity, but it is also a kind heart. Lan Qi replied.
Brother Lan Qi said. I'm relieved. It's not easy for my dad over the years, and I know the helplessness in his heart. But I still want to pursue real knowledge. May I ask Brother Lan Qi, what do you mean by auspiciousness, evil and blessing, this and love for this world. What does it matter? Han Taozi said.
"If the good fortune does not happen, it is good luck, and if the good luck and evil become reality, it is a good fortune. The difference between good fortune and evil lies in the gain and loss of interests. Whether it is a master who learns to be rich and rich, or a small person who is illiterate, he will feel pain when he loses his benefits, and he will feel joy when he gets benefits. Love the world because of joy and hate this world because of pain, all people are the same. Lan Qi took a sip of tea and replied.
"Benefits! Is it true that the root of everything lies in profit? Brother Lan Qi said this, isn't it the same as those flies and dogs? Han Taozi said in surprise.
"Of course it's different. Although interests determine people's likes and dislikes, interests are changeable. Your interests are different from mine; The interests of the present are different from the interests of the future. If you are bent on pursuing interests, when your interests change, you are still walking on the old road, of course, you will feel pain because of the loss of interests. The funny thing is that these people blame the world for everything, and they are completely unrepentant of their mistakes. What really doesn't change is the good and the bad. Only by being aware of good fortune and evil can we achieve true happiness. Only when you get true happiness can you truly love the world. Lan Qi said.
"Brother Lan Qi is right, I feel happy because I get benefits, I feel sad because I lose my benefits, everything is manipulated by interests, where is there still humanity? However, what Brother Lan Qi said was good luck and bad luck. And how to control it? It seems a bit mysterious. Han Taozi shook her head and said.
"The sage once said: 'Those who know are not confused, those who are benevolent are not worried, and those who are brave are not afraid' and wisdom, benevolence, and bravery. It is the key to mastering the good and the bad. Lan Qi said.
"I've also heard what Sage Kong said, and when I heard Brother Lan Qi say it, it seems to have a deep meaning." Han Taozi said.
"Nature has a deep meaning. A wise person can learn a lot of truths, look at things in the world, perceive some clues, and know what the result is, judge good and bad and know good and bad, and he is talking about a wise man. A wise man can identify the good and the bad, so as to seek advantage and avoid harm, of course, there will be no doubt. Lan Qi said.
But what is the use of having a high level of wisdom? A person is not only born in the world, not only for himself, if he gets wisdom, just for his own benefit, then this life is not very boring? What does it mean to be in a high position and full of gold and silver? If you get it, you are afraid of losing it, and if you lose it, it will be a disaster. What's more, everything is empty when people die, and what do they get in the end? Han Taozi shook his head and said.
"That's right, so the sage also said the word 'benevolence'. The benevolent love others, promote the love for themselves to thousands of people, and seek benefits for thousands of people through their own wisdom. If you don't care about your own gains and losses, you will naturally not be dominated by interests, and if you can make everyone happy, you will naturally feel endless happiness. Lan Qi said.
"Still no. How small it is for one person to face the whole world. There are so many powers and so many strife in the world, how can one person change them? According to what Brother Lan Qi said, what he got in the end was nothing more than helplessness. Han Taozi sighed.
When Lan Qi heard Han Taozi's words, she frowned, and she was a little unconfident, and after a little thought, she said: "Finally, there is a brave word, no matter how many hardships and dangers you encounter, no matter how many difficulties you encounter, what does it matter?" My heart is like real gold, and the fire is still the same; I am like steel, only stronger. With courage, without any fear, and working hard for your own thoughts, what if you are helpless? I'm still me. ”
"Brother Lan Qi's words are very attractive. In the final analysis, if you have wisdom and a heart of benevolence, you also need to have the courage to do it. Only by doing things can we make the ideal a reality little by little. After listening to your words, I realized that my father was a truly learned person. I was bent on seeking true learning, and true learning was always by my side. Han Taozi said.
"The girl is very knowledgeable, and you can see that your father is also learned. Lan Qi and you also have some understanding. I am only obsessed with the art of power and conspiracy, and I think that only by mastering the art of power and scheming can I achieve my own great revenge. Now it seems that it is necessary to intensify the training of will. Learning can only grow by learning from each other, I wonder if the girl is willing to learn the art of scheming with me? Lan Qi drank a bowl of tea and said with a smile.
"Brother Lan Qi is finally willing to teach me. But the trick of trickery. I don't know much, it can't be a conspiracy! Han Taozi said.
"Those in power, four or two thousand pounds; The conspirator moves the whole body with one shot. The art of scheming lies in the manipulation of misfortune and fortune, and seeks the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. It can be for one person. It can also be for all the people of the world. It can come openly, or it can be done in the dark. There is an element of conspiracy, but conspiracy is not the whole story. Would you like to learn from me? Lan Qi said.
"The master naturally has the world in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say the truth just now. Peaches is willing to learn from the master, but the master should not dislike me for being stupid. Han Taozi said, and bowed to Lan Qi.
"A madman master and a foolish apprentice also complement each other. It's not too early, so I'll clean up. I'll teach you how to make tea first, and then I'll teach you scheming. Lan Qi laughed.
So against the backdrop of the sunset, the two cleaned up the tea shed and entered the house.
The evening breeze was blowing, the night was very quiet, and when the morning sun appeared the next day, it not only illuminated Anyun, but also illuminated Yishan. It's just on the top of Yi Mountain. There were already two people sitting together, admiring the rising sun. The dew on all sides shines brightly in the sunlight, telling a vow that has lasted for more than ten years.
"Brother Wei, it's been a long time since we've been sitting together like this, and it's a very happy thing to watch you like this and watch the sunrise." Wei Zhen closed his eyes and snuggled up to Wei Zeng and said.
"It's been a long time since I've been with you like this. I remember the last time I watched the sunrise with you, it was more than ten years ago. The promise I made when we first made a date can now be confidently said that I have fulfilled it. Wei Zeng said.
Yuzhen opened his eyes. The bright eyes look especially beautiful in the soft sunlight of the early morning. It's like the drop of dew and the endless night, fused together, turned into two pearls, and set there.
"Actually, I used to think that I felt very happy to be by your side, but since the incident, we have been together less and more apart, and I am worried that one day you will leave me. At the beginning, my life was very rich, but I felt very tired of fulfilling my duties and being a general's wife. Now I don't have to call you husband all day long, I can accompany you to talk about Sangma, I think it's very kind. Yesterday was like a beautiful but bleak dream, and today I feel very warm lying in your bosom. Wei Zhen said.
"What's the big deal, anyway, what we have in the future is time, spring and autumn, summer cicadas and winter snow, the four seasons are like songs, the mountains are picturesque, they all belong only to you and me." Wei Zeng hugged Wei Zhen and said with a smile.
"You are getting better and better at saying good things, you used to be silent all day, and I had to keep comforting you, you know how sad I was at that time." Wei Zhen tapped a fist on Wei Zeng's chest, and said with a smile on his eyebrows.
"You didn't say it before, so how do I know? You have to tell me everything like now, how can I make you sad. Wei Zeng said.
"Not to mention the past, it was not easy for you, Brother Wei, at that time, of course I won't trouble you. But for now, you're going to make it up to me. Wei Zhen said.
"Well, I will compensate you and stop you from suffering." Wei Zeng hugged Wei Zhen and said.
The morning sun rose, the dew disappeared, and Wei Zeng took Weizhen down the mountain.
After returning to Yishan, Wei Zeng and everyone were busy for the sake of the lives of thousands of people. After six months of hard work, this winter's food ration has finally been solved. Wei Zeng asked Wu Linzi to help take care of the children, and he took Weizhen with him to watch the sunrise on the mountain.
Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen walked halfway up the mountain and saw Ye Yuan standing there, the corners of his clothes were wet with dew, obviously standing for a long time.
"Ye Yuan, why don't you tell your father and me when you come, you will get sick if you stand for so long." Wei Zhen said.
"I didn't want to disturb my father and aunt, but the second uncle came back and brought some news about the Zhantu people, and I need my father to go and discuss." Ye Yuan replied.
"Brother Wei, you and Ye Yuan can find the second senior brother. It's not far from where we live, and I can go back alone. Wei Zhen turned his head and said to Wei Zeng.
"Don't worry, let's go down the mountain first, and it's not too late to separate when we get to the village." Wei Zeng said and gestured to Ye Yuan, and then the three of them went down the mountain together.
Ye Yuan walked in front, Wei Zeng walked behind with Weizhen, and he didn't say anything all the way, but he had a human touch in it. Step by step into the valley, Yuzhen followed a path to the upper part of the valley. Wei Zeng and Ye Yuan walked towards the valley.
"Ye Yuan, you can still adapt to life here. Whoever is honest, there is nothing here, everything has to be created by ourselves, which is really a bit hard. Wei Zeng said.
"I'm actually happy to be able to work with my dad for the future. My aunt is very kind to me, and the people here are also very kind, and it is actually very adequate to be able to live here. Ye Yuan replied.
"It's good if you can adapt, as long as we father and son work hard, this place may not be a paradise." Wei Zeng looked at the people working around him, and he was also very happy, and he was also full of confidence in the future.
Ye Yuan nodded yes, in fact, he thought in his heart that everything is very peaceful now, and if his biological mother is still there, there will be no regrets.
After walking a short distance, I saw several carriages parked in one place, and a group of people were unloading things, which were purchased by Zhen Haocai. When these people saw Wei Zeng, they all stopped saying hello, and Wei Zeng also responded well.
Zhen Haocai took an account book to sketch and draw, and when he saw Wei Zeng coming, he stopped working and welcomed Wei Zeng into the house.
"Ye Yuan told me that Senior Brother has news about the Zhantu people, could it be that the Zhantu people robbed us of our things?" Wei Zeng asked.
"Not really, but since the Zhantu people returned to Mobei, Mobei has become more and more unstable. Now that the autumn is high and the horses are fat, some of the Zhantu tribes have begun to move, and I am afraid that they will soon go south to plunder, so we should be careful. Zhen Haocai replied.
"Senior brother is right, although we are located in the deep mountains, we also need a few roads in and out. If these roads were blocked by the occupants, we would be trapped here. In a few days, I will lead people to build several battalions and posts, and they will be responsible for monitoring the movements of the Octans. The people here can gather and train, and they can also defend themselves against the attacks of the Zhan Turks. Wei Zeng replied.
"My junior brother has been a general, so these things are naturally a piece of cake. However, our food is enough to cope with this winter. However, it is too hard to hunt for a long time, so I plan to buy some tools to level the land in the mountains, and maybe it will become fertile land in the future. Zhen Haocai said.
"No problem, I'll allocate some money and manpower to the second senior brother, for the sake of the future happy land, everything is worth it." Wei Zeng said firmly. (To be continued.) )
