Chapter 54: Goodness

Summer was blown away again, and he now feels like a fool. The elder of the sect came easily, and casually explained the details of the action, which was reasonable and meticulous. Everyone understands the simple and straightforward truth, but such a clear application and derivation as Zong Lao is unheard of in the summer.

In this world, strength is respected, and the folk legends are all legends of the strong, and few wise men show their grandeur. Without the excavation and induction of wise men and literati, the level of strategy in this world is generally not high, and even those who are insidious and treacherous only rely on past experience and their own understanding to act, lacking system and depth.

And Xia Yuan is from the Chinese of the earth. Although the history of the earth human race is far less than that of this world, there is a saying in China since ancient times that "princes and princes will have a kind of Xiangning", where there is no absolute suppression of the cultivation level, the battle is extremely fierce and complicated, and the literati and strategists are highly respected. In a long-term life-and-death struggle, all kinds of strategies have almost been studied to the extreme, and the conspiracy has run through the entire history. Xia Yuan Wenqing is usually a good reader of history books, and he has learned a little bit from it, but compared with those treacherous people on the earth, he thinks that he is not on the stage.

However, due to the difference between the two worlds, Xia Yuan's scheming, which was at most an office struggle, completely shocked Xia.

In the summer, he felt that the wisdom of the elder was unattainable, and the elder of the sect made a judgment here, and Wang Chenghai, who was far away in the Dongshuai Mansion, was controlled by his fate, and Wang Chenghai's joys, sorrows, and sorrows were all decided by the elder Zong, which was very powerful, and it was also terrifying to think about. The mood in summer is mixed, with joy and surprise, admiration and reverence, and trembling and hesitation. In the past, he had never been insidious, and although the matter was very important at the moment, he was also hesitant.

Xia Yuan saw Xia's expression change, and knew that such an excellent and arrogant brave young man must not be able to turn around in his heart, and he also needed psychological counseling.

Xia Yuan sighed secretly, Ben Shao has a lot of work, this is really troublesome to teach people, he said patiently: "Summer, do you think that you are acting so insidiously and unwilling to do it?"

Summer muttered in a low voice.

Xia Yuan said: "You have a good heart and act openly, but do you know what goodness is? There are two kinds of goodness, one is the goodness of standing up for oneself and opening one's heart, and the other is the goodness of being asked to be guided. ”

"Those who have accomplished great deeds and benefited the world should have the former goodness in their hearts. This kind of self-realization of goodness and goodness is cleared up, and his heart is self-contained, and he is not trapped by the rules of the world; he is persistent and courageous in his deeds, and he is not hindered by hardships and hardships; and his achievements break through evil and establish a path, and he will eventually benefit all the people. ”

The latter kind of goodness is out of the needs of others. Out of the instinct to protect themselves, everyone wants the people around them to be harmless and docile. As a result, some standards have evolved to measure whether someone is good or not. This kind of good person, passive and self-wrong, is often tied hand and foot by those standards, in order to meet the standards, they do nothing, hurt others and themselves. This kind of goodness is good behind the rules, but it is actually not good. ”

Summer seemed to understand what she didn't understand, and her eyes were confused.

Xia Yuan continued: "For example, in the matter of Wang Chenghai, if you act according to the plan, will Wang Chenghai be harmed?"

Summer shakes his head.

"The cooperation between the Xia family and the Dongshuai Mansion will reduce the hidden danger of resentment from the young master of the Dongshuai Mansion, and the cooperation between the two families will be smoother, which will benefit the many clansmen of the two families, right?"

Summer nodded.

"You solve the misunderstanding with Wang Chenghai, you no longer feel guilty, he no longer resents, it is good for your state of mind, right?"

Summer nodded.

"You take Wang Chenghai to see the dark side of the capital, so that he can know the sinister nature of the world, so that he will be more cautious outside the world, and no longer be simply stupid, which is beneficial to his growth and safety, right? ”

Summer nodded.

"If you do what you do, you will reap these benefits. On the other hand, if you are trapped in a way that is not upright enough and does not conform to the standards of goodness in the world, and thus gives up your inaction, it will be of no benefit to others and to yourself, and this will be of no benefit to others and to yourself.

Xia Yuan's reasoning was simple and straightforward, and Xia easily understood, but these were too subversive for him! After listening to the teachings of the sect elder, Xia felt that he was not only stupid, but also had a very problematic character. His mind was dizzy and he was in a cold sweat.

Xia Yuan didn't have the patience to wait for him to think about it, so he stretched out his hand and threw out a meditation trick, quickly calming down Summer's state of mind.

Xia wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and thanked Xia Yuan, "With Lao Zong's hard teaching, I know a lot of truths and how shallow and careless I used to be. When I go to Dongshuai's Mansion today, I will do my best to do it, and I will not disappoint you. ”

Xia Yuan said: "Things haven't been detailed yet, what are you panicking about." ”

Summer was stunned for a moment, he felt that there was nothing wrong with things, and he didn't know where there was anything wrong. Now that the summer has no doubt about the sect elder, knowing that he has another place to be negligent, he is busy concentrating and listening to the sect elder's instructions.

Xia Yuan is also suitable for face-to-face teaching in summer.

......

In the side hall of Dongshuai's Mansion, Xia Yuan and Wang Weitai sat on the upper seat, and Xia stood beside him.

Xia Yuan took the fragrant tea offered by Wang Weitai himself, took a symbolic sip, then put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Wang Shuai is polite." This kid is the summer who caused trouble, and today I brought him to apologize to Chenghai. injured Cheng Hai in the summer, and thanks to Wang Shuai for his magnanimity and lack of accountability. ”

Wang Weitai waved his hand and said: "Elder Xia Zong has seen the outside, this kid Chenghai is not angry, and he can only be blamed for his lack of skill, so there is no need to apologize." ”

Summer secretly admired on the side, Zong Lao only came into contact with this Dongshuai yesterday, and after only one meeting to see the situation, the two were extremely friendly, it seems that cooperating with Dongshuai's Mansion is not a lie, Zong Lao is really capable of anything!

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Wang Shuai, the state of mind of a cultivator is still very important. Yesterday I saw that Chenghai was still indignant, and my heart was still depressed, which is not good. I think it's better to call Cheng Hai out and let Summer apologize to him, and resolve Cheng Hai's grievances, and I can feel more at ease. ”

Wang Weitai was no longer polite when he heard this, he transmitted the message to Wang Chenghai and asked Wang Chenghai to come to the side hall.

While waiting for Wang Chenghai's arrival, Wang Weitai took a look at the summer, and saw that his cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh layer of quenching the body, facing the marshal in the army, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, and he couldn't help but praise loudly: "Your Xia family is really talented, I think that Xia is the best among his peers even in the entire country." Needless to say, his temperament is not bad, he is rare among his peers, Chenghai is far worse than him. ”

Xia Yuan laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this: Summer is not calm, he is not so old. Cheng Hai is coming, he is practicing how to calculate Cheng Hai in his heart, he is just distracted, Wang Shuai, you can look away.
