Chapter 1338: Choice 2
Dragon Slayer.
For a person, it is actually not easy to remember his original dream in the long road of human growth......
Like many people nowadays, if they were asked to think about their original dreams in life, perhaps most of them would have forgotten them......
It's not easy to remember, but it's even more difficult to persevere......
In fact, when Wang Yu first watched Journey to the West, his feelings for Sun Wukong were simply because of the strength of this monkey, just because he liked the strength of this monkey, and he liked him because he liked the monkey's unscrupulous personality......
However, as he grew older little by little, with the forgetting of many things, he gradually began to understand a little......
Even the most valuable and terrifying thing about Sun Wukong is actually his firmness and perseverance......
It was a kind of attachment that was so simple that it could even make people feel stupid, which was precisely the most fundamental reason why he finally achieved Monkey King......
In this world, there are many people who are temporary, just like a lot of rich people, often only when they are really old, will they begin to fear death, will start to try to go through all kinds of research, try to pass guΓ² physical examination, to make themselves live longer, but often by this time, many things have already happened, and many things are already late......
And if you can take precautions and check your body in advance, maybe many diseases will have no source of transmission......
In return, many rich people are working hard. It's true that I don't have any free time to check my body. When a person is really busy. I often don't have time to think about what I should do......
Many times, if you take the wrong path at the beginning, it is often difficult to turn back......
For example, some people have been bent on making a lot of money since they were young, and then they put their whole lives into it and made a lot of money. This is to choose a path of wealth, and at this time, if he still wants to exchange his wealth for his health, it is undoubtedly a luxury......
On the contrary, some people have grown up in Taoist temples since they were very young, and since elementary school they have been practicing health, and since they were young, they have taken the path of cultivating truth. Maybe you may not be able to really cultivate and become a person with great magical powers like in a Xiuzhen novel. But not to mention anything else, no disease and no disaster, a long life, but it can be expected, from a certain Cheng dΓΉ above, the Taoist cultivation method, in fact, in essence, is often more self-cultivation, and like in martial arts novels, Taoist priests often belong to the kind of storage that is more than the upper than the bottom, their force is often not the most powerful, but their lifespan is often very long, except for a very small number of top Taoist peerless powerhouses like Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfeng, The strength of most Taoist priests in the martial arts is actually not too high, but they often win in cooperation with each other, and all kinds of powerful formations are generally from the hands of Taoism and Buddhism......
In the final analysis, it is best to pursue a path along the way, otherwise, you may change your path once, and your own character will be weakened, and the road will often become passable and passable in the end......
If you want to have some, you have to pay some, this is an inevitable thing, want to get all the benefits of this world, itself is an impossible thing, but in this world, the people who can really insist, often very few, the vast majority of people, often in the twilight, and then in the end but nothing is obtained, gradually reduced to mediocrity......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

In the final analysis, people like Sun Wukong are only a minority of the minority......
From the time he left Huaguo Mountain, he was very clear and firm in a goal, and asked the immortals, immortality!
Except for this goal, all other qiΔ can be abandoned!
In fact, this kind of persistence is a truly rare thing......
Many times, many people, when they are poor, are often able to stick to their ideals, to stick to their beliefs, to work hard, just to realize their illusory dreams......
However, after success, the vast majority of people tend to have a hard time persevering, and many people will naturally compromise with life......
For example, there is a person who set a goal for himself before he was admitted to university, if he could not be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, he would never accept the admission notice of other schools, so he repeated his studies year after year, and finally one year, he got an admission notice from another prestigious school that was slightly inferior to Tsinghua University and Peking University......
In such a situation, I am afraid that the vast majority of people will choose to accept it, rather than continue to waste their time......
In a way, this is undoubtedly a wise decision, but on the other hand, is it not a compromise of fate?
If there is a compromise, there may be countless compromises, and if there is a concession, there may be countless concessions......
Some people have high aspirations when they are young, but when they grow up, they go through compromises again and again, so they end up being out of the crowd......
In fact, it is not an easy thing to stick to your dreams when you are poor, all kinds of ridicule, all kinds of contempt, can make a person give up their dreams because of this, and the vast majority of them can be said to be mentally strong when they can persevere......
However, wealth is often a greater test than poverty......
A person is in a time of poverty. The reason why they still stick to their dreams. Sometimes it's not because they want to stick to their dreams. More often than not, it's just because for them, they have no other choice than to stick to their dreams, and giving up their dreams is like giving up on life for them, and they have no way out, so they can only move forward with ridicule and contempt until they can succeed!
But wealth is different. When a person is in wealth, there are often many, many choices, and there are often many, many temptations hidden in these choices......
Just like some entrepreneurs, at the beginning of their business, they are poor and white, and they are often able to work together to build their own companies, and they can work together to complete all kinds of work, because they are penniless, so they must improve their own situation through their own efforts. They had no choice but to do so......
However. When the company is famous, the company is faced with other large companies when the high price of acquisition, I am afraid that there will be very few willing to stick to it, many entrepreneurs in the early stage of entrepreneurship, often have an unimaginable persistence, but once the business is successful, there is an improvement, but on the contrary, it will be subject to all kinds of temptations, so as to indulge in it, sell the business they founded, for many entrepreneurs, sometimes it is not a difficult choice......
In other words, for many entrepreneurs, the purpose of entrepreneurship itself is often to make money, if they can earn their own wealth, then for them, there is no difference between keeping and selling the business, although there are some suspicions of killing chickens and eggs, but real benefits, It's often what they really value......
Because there is a choice, so naturally there will be people who waver......
Just like gamblers in a casino, when they don't have chips, they are often the craziest and most unscrupulous, but once they have a certain amount of chips, they will naturally become cautious and conservative, and their bets will become rational and regular......
At the end of the day, it's nothing more than the difference between having and having nothing......
However, only entrepreneurs who love their own enterprises in the real sense can overcome one difficulty after another, resist the temptation one after another, and finally truly make their enterprises bigger and stronger.
In fact, the choice faced by Sun Wukong is the same......
It is undoubtedly a very, very difficult thing for a monkey to integrate into the world of humans, but Sun Wukong has done it, and this alone is actually enough to make people feel emotional, and when he really steps into the three-star cave of the oblique moon, it is a new starting point for his real life......
This was also his first step from being a seeker to truly entering the Daomen!
The life of a qiΔ wandering has come to an end, and he has found an immortal who can really teach him......
So the suffering ended......
If you are an ordinary person living in such an environment, I am afraid that the initial idea of wanting to live forever will slowly fade, and you will realize little by little how unrealistic your initial idea is and how unreliable your initial idea is......
Many people will naturally have such thoughts: "Forget it, you don't have to think about immortality, as long as you can learn some spells, this life will not be in vain......"
When people are poor, they often don't think about how far away their dreams are, because for them, dreams are just illusory things at that time, so they don't care what this kind of dream means to themselves, they only know that the existence of dreams is the only motivation for them to persevere, as for whether the dream itself is realistic, this is not a problem they will consider at this stage!
And when a person gets rid of the state of difficulty, he will begin to really think about his dreams, whether his dreams are reasonable, whether they are realizable, or just simple foolish dreams......
It was once said. There is such a thing as knowledge. The more you know. The more you can feel your own insignificance......
The same is true of dreams......
When I was a child, almost every time I was in a new environment, the teacher would ask the students to introduce themselves......
Generally speaking, in the self-introduction, students will be asked to introduce themselves and explain what kind of person they want to be in the future and what kind of work they want to do......
As a child, people's dreams. It's often very simple but ambitious, because for most people, they don't know how difficult their dreams really are, just like many people always say that they want to be astronauts or scientists when they grow up......
But in fact, these two professions are basically rare professions among the extremely few rare professions, such as astronauts, each of which almost needs to go through very, very, very strict selection before it can be cultivated, whether it is physical requirements. Or the body is zhì, or the political zhì background. You have to be 100% reliable to be selected as an astronaut, and as for scientists, you need to stand out from countless top students to be able to achieve......
And when a person grows up and is sensible, he will often understand that many of his childhood dreams are actually very, very, very naΓ―ve ideas, so they will not say that they want to be an astronaut or a scientist, which will make their classmates laugh when they say it, so their life goals will naturally become careers such as painters, teachers, doctors, policemen, lawyers, etc......
No one will babble nonsense that their goal in the future is to be an immortal and live forever......
However, when a person grows up, their dreams may change again, because basically when a person goes to high school, they often have a certain understanding of the social structure, so by this time, the vast majority of high school students will already clearly understand that even if it is a profession such as a painter, teacher, doctor, policeman, lawyer, etc., it is not easy to get it, and many of them require a variety of assessments to obtain... β¦
At this time, the vast majority of high school students will no longer think about what they want to do in the future, they will think more about what kind of university they should be admitted to, what kind of major they should study, and as for the job after entering the society, it is better to go with the flow......
So, the dream was once again downgraded......
In fact, if modern people substitute themselves into Journey to the West, when the Bodhi Ancestor asked Sun Wukong, they will be substituted into Sun Wukong's body......
I'm afraid that the vast majority of people who have asked the first sentence of the Bodhi Patriarch with great magical powers have already hurriedly agreed. "I'm afraid that most people don't ask such a ridiculous question......
Just like the story of the golden axe and the silver axe, most people, I am afraid that when someone gives a silver axe, they will not hesitate to admit that it is their own thing, and thus give up their original iron axe......
In the final analysis, the reason why many people insist when they are poor is simply because they want to take a breath, just because they have no choice, so when they are rich, they will naturally subconsciously abandon their original ideals, subconsciously abandon their original thoughts, subconsciously make compromises to life, and subconsciously comfort themselves in their hearts, which is actually very wise......
However, Monkey King is different!
No matter how Bodhi Ancestor told all kinds of supernatural powers, he only had one sentence, that is, "Can you live forever?" β
No matter what the thousands of spells, thousands of methods, don't ask anything else, just ask for an immortality!
This is Sun Wukong's persistence!
That's his obsession!
I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, experienced countless hardships and obstacles, even in the face of countless choices!
He still hasn't changed his original intention!
This is the true sense of great wisdom, great courage, great perseverance!
As for the so-called backdoor incident that was praised by many people later, in fact, it was just a little cleverness in the final analysis, and compared to his great wisdom, such a little cleverness is actually not worth mentioning......
Actually, from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, the hint of the ancestors. In itself, it can be explained in a variety of ways. Whether it's three watches to go. If you go three days later, or three hours later, the ancestor will actually accept Sun Wukong's explanation and teach immortality and seventy-two changes to this monkey......
Because, the test itself has ended before, and the hint itself means that the ancestor has actually recognized the wisdom and ability of this monkey, no matter how the monkey understands the hint, as long as the monkey can appear in front of the ancestor. Eventually, the Ancestor would actually teach the monkey spells......
In other words, for the ancestor, the reason why the monkey was able to obtain the inheritance was not because he cracked his own hints, but because of his attachment to immortality, because the monkey had enough persistence and talent, so the ancestor would give hints, which is the real cause and effect......
Just like the female secretary of the company whose boss hinted at his application, for the boss, the female secretary figured it out whenever she came to "work". He wouldn't say no, because from the moment he gave the hint. In fact, he has already recognized the other party's appearance and figure, and he has no loss if the other party does not come, and he will not refuse when he comes, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a transaction......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

The monkey's persistence, in the eyes of many, is incredible, even a little stupid......
However, it is precisely this persistence that ultimately made the monkey famous......
The result is a true legend......
It's like the story of the fool moving mountains......
In fact, Wang Yu heard the story of Yugong moving mountains when he was very young, and it will be ...... in textbooks
However, every time I read this story, Wang Yu's feeling is different every time......
When I read this story for the first time, Wang Yu only felt that Yugong was really a very great person, diligent, hard-working, just to be able to move away from the mountain in front of his door, and even this sincerity moved the gods, so that his final wish came true, as for the so-called Zhisuo, in this story, he is an authentic villain, a stomach full of sourness, but he does not put forward any constructive suggestions......
A sentence of infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren exhausts the most true thoughts of Yugong!
However, when Wang Yu grew up a little and began to look back at the story of Yugong moving mountains, he had a diametrically opposite idea, he began to feel that Yugong was indeed a fool, and there were not many people in the family. Living in the deep mountains and old forests where life is inconvenient, and there are mountains blocking the road in front of the door, such a living environment itself is bad, rather than this, it is better to honestly change a place to live, isn't it a better choice? If there is no existence of the gods in the story, can Yugong's family really realize the infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren? Is there really a woman who is willing to accept such a husband's family, willing to accept that her children will be digging all year round until they die of old age?
If Yugong really implements such ideas and concepts, I am afraid that within a few generations, he will be cut off from his children and grandchildren......
Speaking of which, for the vast majority of adults, I am afraid that more or less for the story of Yugong moving mountains, there will be some thoughts, since the original living environment is very poor, why are you unwilling to change to a new living environment? Why do you have to stick to living where you are? From this point of view, foolishness is indeed the stupidity of people as they name it......
After all, reality is not a so-called fairy tale, so in reality, many things can often only end up in compromise......
Such a thought, such a concept, in fact, also represents the cognition of the vast majority of people, such a thing as a god, in essence, is just an illusory existence, in reality, no one can help Yugong break the two mountains in front of him, simply relying on his own efforts, is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket......
However, in the previous library, Wang Yu once again read the story of Yugong moving mountains......
But this time, he felt a little different from the previous two times!
Because, again, he suddenly felt. Foolish man may be right!
Despite what his approach seems. Somewhat stupid. But sometimes, in this world, there is always a real need for such fools!
There is a saying that the road is uneven, and someone steps on it......
For Yugong, if the mountain is uneven, he will naturally have to shovel it......
If you are forced to choose a different place to live because of the high mountains in front of you. So if there are mountains in the future, wouldn't it be necessary to change places?
If you are accustomed to a concession, you will often retreat again and again, and if you are accustomed to a compromise, you will often compromise this time......
And if a person really reaches the point where there is no way back, then he will be completely in a desperate situation!
In a sense, changing and correcting the earth's topography is something that everyone should do, and only by correcting the landform well enough can people's living environment and living space be expanded. Only when more survival resources can be collected, can human beings gain more space for development......
To know. In fact, even if there is a possibility of cosmic migration in the future, the cost of this immigration is bound to be unimaginably high, so if you think about it carefully, before human migration to the alien planet, what really needs to be dealt with is actually the living environment inside the earth......
At least, no matter what process is carried out on the earth, in terms of pure cost, it is definitely much lower than the transformation of alien planets!
From the original bungalows, to the current high-rise buildings, in fact, the human living environment has inevitably begun to show a relatively crowded state, after the sky, there must be underground and ocean, it is conceivable that perhaps more than ten years or even decades later, every inch of land on the earth, whether it is the sky, the earth or the ocean, will be occupied by human buildings, there will be human dwellings underground, and there will be human dwellings in the ocean......
The cost of earth transformation cannot be higher than that of interstellar migration, which is because of this, so before interstellar migration can be realized, the transformation of the earth can be said to be a top priority, and even a must to be done!
In this process, the removal of mountains and reclamation and desert vegetation can be said to be just ordinary things......
Although the cost of doing these things is actually very high, in order for human beings to have a greater living space, these things must be done!
In a certain way, Yu Gong is such a person, although in the eyes of many people, this thing is a very stupid idiot, but from another point of view, the stupid thing he is doing is something that no matter who he is in the future, he must do......
From this point of view, it is not so much that the fool is stupid, but that he is a very far-sighted person......
And this fable, if you look at it from this point of view, actually makes sense......
Yugong can realize the necessity of moving mountains and reclamation, and Heavenly Court can naturally realize it, so they will send immortals to move the mountain away, this is not simply because of Yugong's persistence, but because Heavenly Court itself does have such a plan, Heavenly Court actually hopes that the world will become better, only by allowing people to have a bigger and better living environment, human beings can reproduce more population, so that the ruling power of Heavenly Court will be greatly strengthened......
In the final analysis, what Yu Gong is doing is actually what Heaven wants to do, and it can even be said that all human beings must do it......
The reason for this is actually very interesting to think about......
The same story, different people, can see different things......
What the children saw was just the simplicity and diligence of the foolish man who moved the heavens......
What adults see is that they are inflexible and stubborn......
And if the old man goes to see this story, he may see the foresight and wisdom of Yugong, and maybe he will see what is truly in accordance with the mandate of heaven, and what is the true meaning of heaven......
In the final analysis, what kind of senses the person who sees the story has for the story is, in essence, only what kind of person the person who reads the story himself......
Yu Gong may be as simple as a child, Yu Gong may be as stupid and inflexible as an adult, and Yu Gong may be as full of vision and wisdom as an old man, and truly understand what it means to conform to the destiny of heaven......
But in the final analysis, what kind of person Yugong is just depends on what kind of person he is, what kind of eyes he looks at, and what kind of fable he sees......
The fool in the eyes of children is simple, because children themselves are simple......
Fools in the eyes of adults are stupid, perhaps because they themselves are just as stupid, but many times their stupidity lies in the fact that they are too accustomed to making compromises, too many accustomed to making concessions, too accustomed to going with the flow......
In the eyes of the old people, Yu Gong is a wise and far-sighted store, he has long been able to see that the mountain in front of the door will be moved away one day, he wants to move the mountain, what he expresses is just an attitude, the mountain that presses on himself, with the change of dynasty, there will inevitably be a god to move the mountain away, and the peasants will definitely have a day when they will be the masters of their own homes, and the mountain that oppresses them will always be overturned one day......
And in Wang Yu's eyes, the foolish man is the foolish father, he has said some things, done some things, and that's it......
Sometimes, the higher you are in the environment, the more you can see, the more things you can think, and the more things you can understand......
Countless thoughts wandered in Wang Yu's mind......
All sorts of thoughts also kept flooding up in his consciousness and then disappearing with them......
One after another, the currents of thought surged in his consciousness like a tide, and finally disappeared without a trace......
Many, many truths flashed in Wang Yu's mind, and then they were integrated into other truths......
Big waves!
Yes, big waves!
It seems like a long, long time, or maybe it's just a moment......
In Wang Yu's mind, the originally chaotic thoughts seemed to become extremely clear and clear in just a moment......
All kinds of seemingly complex truths in life seem to be simply grouped into one Taoist, as if a Taoist is enough to explain the location of all the truths in the world......
Just in a short moment, Wang Yu felt that his thoughts were blank, as if he had forgotten many, many, many things......
No, I haven't even forgotten this concept, I just feel as if I have experienced a dream, and when I wake up from the dream, I don't remember it at all......
However, despite this, his consciousness did not feel empty of memory, he still knew who he was, he knew what he was doing, they knew the date of birth of their parents and elders, and he remembered many things very clearly, and everything was extremely clear...... (To be continued......)
