Zhu Fayun also covered his mouth and smiled, looked at the slave mockingly, took the initiative to open the porcelain bottle and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Uncle Shi is here, otherwise this kid would definitely think that I deliberately rectified him." ”

The slave didn't dare to reply, so he hurriedly took a plum in his mouth, and then felt that the almost disgusting astringency in his throat had dissipated a lot, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you." ”

A simple sentence, but with a tone of real gratitude, Zhu Fayun listened to it in his ears, and he only felt sweet in his heart, his face was slightly red, and he wanted to say something to sarcastically mock him, but he felt that his heart was empty, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only awkwardly snatch the bottle and glared at him again, and then picked up the bowl he had just drunk and put it on the tray.

Zhu Fatai waited for Zhu Fayun to pack up the cup and go out, then sat close to the slave, and said lightly in a seemingly casual tone: "Although the old man is very senior in the tile coffin temple in Kyoto, he would rather live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for several years, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Jinu's heart moved, and he looked at his somewhat white eyebrows seriously, only to see that the eyes that had gone through the vicissitudes of life were extremely moist, like a boundless ocean, which could accommodate hundreds of rivers and be outstanding and clear.

Until this time, he also faintly felt that the encounter with Zhu Fatai was not accidental, in that special place, at that special time, he was actually waiting for his appearance to help himself, if it was a coincidence, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

At that time, he had a faint feeling in his heart, but he couldn't be sure of the other party's intentions, and couldn't judge whether he was willing to help or use, and now it seems that Zhu Fatai is obviously kind to himself, as for the reason, he doesn't know, but he is very willing to listen to his words.

"Please also ask the master to give advice." He heard his own voice, and spoke steadily, naturally, without flattering excitement, nor the slightest uneasiness or suspicion, since when did his tone no longer reveal his thoughts? He thought about it leisurely, but he didn't ask for much understanding.

Zhu Fatai also remained unchanged, and said indifferently: "Do you know what 'impermanence' is? ”

Naturally, the slave didn't know, and he replied respectfully, "I don't know." ”

"What does it mean to know and what does it mean not to know? You are so quick to say that you don't know, but you don't really know if you really don't know, that's impermanence. ”

This is actually a very paradoxical concept, in later generations there was a foreigner who invented a very interesting word to describe this state, that is, "Schrödinger's cat", that is, in a completely sealed box, put a live cat and a piece of poison-stained food, when the box is closed, the cat is alive or dead, no one can know.

However, as early as a thousand years ago, ancient wise men had already put forward this concept, that is, "impermanence".

Zhu Fatai continued: "If you always face all unknown problems with an attitude of rejection, then what you know or don't know will eventually become something you don't know. ”

The slave boy chewed the meaning of his words carefully, only to feel that the deep meaning contained in it was endless, and he couldn't help but be stupid for a while.

For example, people say that "life and death are impermanent", but people always live in this world, and the end of life is always death.

Superficial people pay attention to the present, and people who really have a broad mind can see farther and see more clearly.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Zhu Fatai was quite relieved in his heart, only to feel that this child still had a lot of wisdom, he paused, and asked more slowly word by word: "By analogy, do you know what is good and what is not good?" ”

The slave hesitated and said, "To be good to others is to be good, and to do evil wantonly is to be unkind, is that what it means?" ”

Zhu Fatai smiled: "So if you are a poor person, but you have such a neighbor, his family is also very poor, but he has two children, so he sneaks to your house every night to steal some food, and would rather feed his children without eating or drinking, but this behavior has caused you and your family to not have enough to eat every day, then is he good or bad?" ”

Jinu frowned, and replied without hesitation: "Naturally, it is not good. ”

Zhu Fatai immediately retorted: "But for his children, he is the kindest person in the world, how can you argue with it?" ”

Jinu was speechless and said sneeringly: "Even so, his behavior is against the law." ”

Zhu Fatai glanced at him leisurely and asked rhetorically, "What is the law?" Who made the law? Why do we have to obey the law? ”

The slave was even more speechless, but he felt that a strange feeling was slowly rising in his heart, as if a new sky was unfolding in front of him, he had never seen such a galaxy, such a bright light, completely enveloping his mind.

Zhu Fatai said leisurely: "You understand, in fact, everyone's existence is because of the law of the growth of all things, which is 'permanence', and what everyone can do in their short life is different from person to person, this is 'impermanence'." ”

"Some people go around and around to manage their own pros and cons, and even think about it to the point of fighting for baht, even if they occasionally let their neighbors smell the aroma of a pot of good meat cooked by their family, they feel that they are losing. Such a person is short-sighted, has no meaning for others or himself, is really silent, goes to no one cares, once he dies, except for his closest relatives, who knows that he once existed? ”

"Some people, born rich and noble, with a golden spoon in their mouths, loved by their elders like treasures, and servants are even more careful to serve, busy please, they do not know what the life of other people in the world is like since childhood, and they do not know how to cherish everything they have, often with no one in their eyes, and they are proud of themselves. Such a person is always smooth sailing, and once he encounters a small setback, he feels depressed, and most easily depressed, lost in beauty and wine, and when they die, relatives and friends will inevitably discuss: 'The one of such and such a family, who is so noble, and the world thinks so highly of him, why did he live a life of mediocrity and do nothing?' ’”

"Some people, not from noble background, but have an extraordinary mind, because the environment in which they grew up when they were children was too poor, they almost tasted all kinds of hardships in the world, so their desire for money and power is much higher than ordinary people. Once such a person gains power, he suddenly stands under the eyes of everyone, and he is easily subjected to all kinds of sincere or ill-intentioned flattery and demagoguery from others, and the already unbalanced heart is even more easily distorted under the words instigated by others, and it is inevitable that he will do something that loses his identity, small thieves steal money, big thieves steal the country, Wang Mang in the Han Dynasty is the best example. ”
