Chapter Thirty-Three: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
After the storm is a quiet world, after the calm is more violent storm. Therefore, the world always swaps roles with each other in the storm and tranquility, and it will never go on forever in one mode, nor will it always be magnificent or always as smooth as water. Only those who switch between these two modes can always be calm, calm and respond to change.
After returning home for a few days, I felt like I had enjoyed unprecedented peace. When I was too young, I didn't understand the true meaning of calm, and only after this wave of life and death can I really feel the comfort of peace. Everything seems to have returned to three or five years ago, Guan Lao's cooking skills have not been taken away by time, on the contrary, Guan Baijiao, who has not eaten too many civilized society dishes in the past three years, feels that Guan Lao's cooking is delicious, and his whole tongue is about to melt. In the past few days, he has not cultivated the Tao, but has been lying on the rattan chair in the courtyard all day long looking at the sky in a daze, he now understands why Guan Lao likes to stare at the sky in a daze; it turns out that the sky is so relaxed and light and lovely, those clouds are so cute that people can't help but jump up and touch them a few times, but they are afraid of disturbing their freedom, so they can only look up at the sky. He also found out the books he hadn't finished reading before, and he took this time to finish them, and he realized that reading all kinds of interesting books was still his favorite. Reading a book on a wicker chair, covering your face with a book when you are tired, sleeping seriously, getting up and continuing to read or eat delicious food that melts your tongue, life can not be more comfortable.
Watching the hundred tribulations lying there and enjoying the lifestyle that only the old man in the twilight would like made Jian Yinpu very incomprehensible, he thought that it was time to feel it well in order to reach a higher level? Watching the Hundred Tribulations is simply a waste of time, this is shameful in the eyes of any seeker, and what makes Jian Yinpu even more incomprehensible is the attitude of Guan Lao, although he has heard in Fengyuan City before, Guan Lao indulges in watching the Hundred Tribulations, but after all, he has not stepped into the Dao, but now he is stepping into the Dao, and when others are desperately using any time to comprehend the Dao, he also connived at the Hundred Tribulations to be so lazy, Jian Yinpu does not think that Guan Lao does not understand the truth, as a person who once dominated Shenzhou, he understands this more than most of him. But what he is doing now is just making all kinds of delicacies for Guan Baijiao every day and never urging him to realize, you must know that the current Guan Baijiao is three small realms behind himself. He really didn't understand the thinking of the grandson.
Jian Yinpu didn't understand that the thinking of this pair of grandsons didn't mean that he was just silent and didn't speak, he saw that the matter of not cultivating for the waste of time for watching the Hundred Tribulations was more serious than not cultivating himself, and he felt that it was time for him to wake up and observe the cultivation of the Hundred Tribulations. Jian Yinpu slowly crossed to the front of Guan Baijiao lying on the rattan chair, after a few days of basking in the sun and watching the Baijiao, his skin has become very normal, but it is still the same as a few days ago, which has to be made up slowly. At this time, Guan Baijiao was sleeping soundly with a fist-thick book on his face, and this casual state made Jian Yinpu unbearable. He picked up the book, and the dazzling sunlight directly pierced his eyes and woke up Guan Baijiao, he raised his head and said sleepily: "Stone, why are you doing, don't you see that I am sleeping soundly, why disturb my sweet dreams, you!" Jian Yinpu held back his anger and said: "What else can I do is to chat with you, see that you are bored." Guan Baijiao said in a voice: "It's rare, you also have a time to chat, what do you want to talk about, astronomy and geography, heaven and earth, whatever you talk about, I will accompany you!"
Jian Yinpu shifted his gaze to look at the door in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time, just when he was about to wait for the Hundred Tribulations, Jian Yinpu spoke: "Short life, what do you say we are desperately seeking for immortality in our lives? Can we really hold on to such a slim road to the end?" Everyone knows that the road is very narrow, so narrow that if you are not careful, you will be squeezed down, so all the people are desperately running forward to reduce the chance of being squeezed out, you see, even a person like Grandpa who is crisscrossing China is accidentally squeezed out, how long can we hold on?"
Guan Baijiao listened to Jian Yinpu's question, and slowly lay down on the vine chair again, his eyes empty, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke: "Stone, do you know, when I was very young, I heard my grandfather tell all kinds of bloody stories on the way to the Tao, and I also have a fanatical love for seeking the Tao; when I was more than four years old, my grandfather gave me a book called "Shenzhou Tianjiao", which is full of all the characters in Shenzhou who have had glory on the road of seeking the Tao and seeking immortality since there were records. My grandfather asked me to use him as my literacy enlightenment book to let me know the glory of China, and at first I did read it with admiration, but later I found that there was never a single page of happiness in the deeds of these characters, and there were even people who gave up the lives of tens of thousands of families in order to live forever. So I think they just extend the length of life but don't have the breadth of life, just look at the joys and sorrows of all things in the world without joy, reincarnation and separation. Since then, I have developed a fear of immortality, I am afraid that in the end of my quest for the path I will be left sitting high in the cold clouds, dimples in all my lives, lonely and calm, not afraid of the loss of time, but to witness all the beauty and sorrow of the world. All I have always thought of immortality is to expand the width of life to infinity, as for the length is not the most important, I just want to maintain the immortality of having relatives and friends to warm the life, rather than slowly becoming an immortality that only time can be squandered infinitely. Besides, there are a few people in Shenzhou who can live forever since ancient times, even if they become nothing, they will not see it, and they will have time to squander it infinitely. ”
After listening to the words of Guan Baijiao, the question that Jian Yinpu inadvertently raised was not solved, but deepened his doubts, and he muttered, "Isn't it that you have everything after immortality." But you're right, it seems like you're getting nothing. What is the right thing to do then!" Jian Yinpu thought about this question for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a while, turning his right hand into a branch rubbing his chin, a little nondescript.
Guan Lao heard the conversation between the two in the kitchen, and the smile in the corner of his eyes seemed to be swinging around. These two children are amazing talents, and some people who have lived for a hundred years may not be able to think of the content of the conversation just now, although they can't understand and feel it when they think about it now, but it's kind of powerful to think of it, isn't it. Guan Lao took out the prepared dishes and put them on the table to beckon Guan Baijiao and Jian Yinpu, who were still in a daze, to come to eat, looking at the two of them frowning and still thinking about something, Guan Lao smiled and said, "Come, don't think about it, hurry up and eat." As the so-called stealing a floating life for half a day, one by one, the way to find the way, what is there to say after eating!!
Yes, anything that pushes you too close is easy to break parts, and only if you can be idle can you have vitality for a long time.
