Chapter 454: Dream and Reality
Sun Bin took the letter of appointment and became a member of the Heavenly Court, although he was under the banner of Yun Yao, he was also subordinate to the Heavenly Court.
"Since you are already an official of the Heavenly Court, then I will tell you about the current situation in the Three Realms." Yun Yao began to explain what she knew.
After listening to it, you will know that not only the mortal world is not peaceful, but the Three Realms are also not peaceful, but the saint does not see swords and guns when he plays chess, but the danger is even worse than war. There is no smoke of gunpowder, but life and death.
The way of heaven runs, and between the rise and fall of existence and death, even the gods are unpredictable.
Sun Bin only felt that the world of mortals was so narrow, in addition to mortals, there was a broader world, where there were gods, demons, demons and monsters, there were heavenly courts, underworlds, dragon palaces, monks, and the vast world slowly kicked off, that is the unbounded space that a gentleman should explore. Just listening to it is already exciting.
Yun Yao is just talking about it, but even if he just said this, he has already said that it is dark.
Sun Bin only felt that it was not enough, and wanted to hear more stories about the Three Realms and monks.
"In the future, you will have a long time to understand the Three Realms well, so let's stop here today." Yun Yao has regained her disguise and turned into a young and elegant man.
For the change technique of the immortals, Sun Bin was amazed.
Yun Yao thought to herself that what she had learned was only the simplest change technique, and it was not at all as amazing as the seventy-two and thirty-six changes. Whether it is the thirty-sixth change or the seventy-second change, you need a certain amount of cultivation to see through it, and Yun Yao's change skills are still shallow, if you don't rely on the cloak, ordinary monks can see through Yun Yao's transformation, and they can also deceive mortals.
But in Sun Bin's opinion, Yun Yao's change is already a high-end means of the gods, which has already made him admire, and he doesn't know when he will be able to learn it.
"We'll talk another day." Yun Yao said goodbye to Sun Bin and turned to go home.
Zhuangzi had a very good life in Qimo, because the ink man did not need to cook himself, and the ink man cherished his small life and did not seek great wealth and wealth, but only wanted a stable life. Therefore, Zhuang Zhouman likes the ink man, and the ink man also has a lot of strange theories, just like his friend Hui Shi.
Hui Shi has put forward a lot of interesting propositions, because he is a famous artist, that is, he wins with eloquence. Although the Moist is not a famous artist, he is the leader of the famous artist, and the first to systematically sort out the logic of the debate is the Mohist, and the famous man is only carried forward on the basis of the Mohist.
Today, Zhuangzi discussed with a blacksmith and ink maker about the day's 'fire is not hot', which is a proposition put forward by Hui Shi, he believes that fire is not hot, and the reason why people feel hot is not because of fire, but because of people.
It's not fire that's hot, it's people.
When Yun Yao returned home, he saw Zhuang Zhou eating dinner and sharing his harvest with his wife in high spirits: "Mo is also good at debating in addition to organs, and tomorrow we will discuss whether chickens have three legs." ”
Yao Zhuang saw her husband's happy appearance, and knew that he must have met a master of quarrels, otherwise he would not be so energetic.
"How can a chicken have three legs?" Zheng Dan felt strange.
"You don't know that the chicken, though it has only two legs, has one foot in the place where it is not visible. But as soon as you lift the chicken feet, you'll use them. Zhuang Zhou said prominently.
Xi Shi couldn't help but say, "You mean the name 'chicken feet'?" ”
Zhuangzi nodded approvingly: "That's right, in addition to the two feet on the body, the chicken also has an invisible 'chicken foot', which is the name 'chicken foot'." Because of this name, chicken feet became chicken feet. As he spoke, he was eager to start a tirade: "I once debated with Hui Shi, arguing endlessly about twenty-one things, I thought that no one could debate with me except Hui Shi, but I didn't expect that there were strange people among the ink scholars, and it seems that they are going to show their real skills." ”
The young Zhuang Zhou, like all young people, likes to debate, and he would never think that when he is older, he will criticize Hui Shi for being 'stronger than things and weaker than virtue'.
Just when Zhuang Zhou was talking rhetorically, it was Xia Ji who suddenly asked a question, which she and Nanzi had also discussed but had no result, she asked: "You said that we may be living in a dream, so how to prove that we are awake, how to prove that everything is real?" ”
Xia Ji thought about it for two days and didn't get any results, so she couldn't help but ask Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou didn't know, he quieted down, although he proposed Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, but he didn't think about proving it. It proved that this kind of thing was not romantic at all, so he said, "Isn't it important whether it's a dream or a reality?" I don't think I can change my attitude towards life just because it's in a dream or in reality, whether it's Zhuang Zhou or Butterfly, I won't change. ”
Zhuang Zhou is very open-minded, and he doesn't care about dreams or reality, he is him anyway.
However, Xia Ji was not satisfied, she felt that this did not prove anything: "Nanzi has a spell to manipulate dreams, and she worked hard to experience everything in her dreams, but when she first woke up from a big dream, it came to naught. If it's a dream, why should we try to do it, everything will disappear when we wake up anyway. ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Ji, knowing that she had experienced too many ups and downs, had been working hard to persevere, and had always thought that her efforts were meaningful, so she was hit the hardest when she wavered.
Nanzi, Zheng Dan, and Xi Shi's experience is really nothing compared to Xia Ji, although they also sacrificed their youth for national politics, but their suffering is very simple, that is, being with a man they don't love. But Xia Ji has been on the move all her life, meeting one man after another, but she still believes that suffering is meaningful, and will eventually usher in a complete ending, whether good or bad, she can always know what she is going through all this for. Now someone tells her that everything she has experienced is meaningless, it's just a big dream, and when she wakes up, it will be over, which makes Xia Ji angry like the unfinished movie and the eunuch, and she definitely can't accept this kind of life that ends without a problem and gives up halfway.
All the efforts came to naught, there was no ending, no answer, not even an explanation, I came in a daze, woke up in a daze, and didn't know why I went through all these tribulations. If the ending is really just waking up from a dream, then Xia Ji doesn't want to work hard, there is no need to watch a movie that she knows is unfinished, there is no need to read a book that she knows is a eunuch, and there is no need to continue a life that she knows will end absurdly.
If she can't prove that everything she is experiencing now is not a dream, Natsuki doesn't feel the need to work harder.
In fact, Yun Yao also thought about whether her crossing was a dream, and she was still not sure that it was not a dream, after all, there was no way to prove it. However, Yun Yao feels that Zhuang Zhou's attitude is still good, whether it is Zhuang Zhou or Butterfly, since he is active, then everything is worth it, even if the final finale is waking up.
The ending of waking up from a dream is as nonsense as the ending of a meteorite falling and completely extinguished, but if it can't be proved to be a dream or reality, the possibility of nonsense cannot be ruled out.
"We don't know what we'll do in the end, but at least we can do one small thing at a time." Yun Yao said: "Whether it is a dream or reality, we will not know the final result, so we still assume that we are in reality, and then do one thing after another, and in the end there will be nothing to regret." ”
Xia Ji looked at Yun Yao, obviously this bowl of chicken soup didn't taste strong, and she didn't feel it after drinking it. However, Xia Ji still laughed and said: "If it's a dream, there's no point in working hard yourself, but it's still interesting to watch others work hard." Xia Ji felt that she didn't want to work hard, but she could still watch the play, Yun Yao's performance was very good, she couldn't guess it, the viewing experience was very good, and she still had the best viewing seats next to Yun Yao, so she could continue to watch it.
Yun Yao thought to herself, then you can just watch.
