Silence crept through the lobby.

Jin Hong watched with great eyesight.

That kind of extremely oppressive atmosphere, ordinary people may really can't bear it.

However, Chen Yun was not under pressure at all, and kept thinking about acting skills.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Jin Hong seemed to be patient, and he said impatiently, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Chen Yun saw that the time was almost over, took a deep breath and said, "I'd rather die, Chen Mou won't go to the Jin Mansion as a son-in-law!" ”

"Good! Ok, good, good! Jin Hong laughed angrily, stood up and said angrily: "Since you are killing yourself, then I will send you on the road!" ”

As he spoke, he shouted angrily, "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, three tiger-backed ape-waisted family members broke in outside the door.

Jin Hong didn't talk nonsense with his family, and directly stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Yun, "Tie up this little thief!" ”

The three family members stepped forward and held down Chen Yun, and directly came to tie up the flowers.

Chen Yun didn't even struggle this time, and let the family tie up.

Jin Hong said sharply: "I'll ask one last time, are you really not afraid of death?" ”

"Death, of course I'm afraid." Chen Yun looked at Jin Hong and said resolutely: "Jin Xiangguo said that I ruined the innocence of the Qiao girl, and only by death can I apologize, although Yun is not a virtuous person, I also know that the woman's innocence is as complete, if I Chen Yun dies today, I can exchange the innocence of the Qiao girl, I am willing to be killed by Xiang Guo!" ”

Seeing that Chen Yun was tied up, Jin Hong didn't seem to be in a hurry.

He tiptoed to Chen Yun's side, squinted his eyelids and looked over, "Would you rather die than get into trouble, is it because you really can't bear the shame of being rich?" ”

To put it simply, a son-in-law is a man who "marries" into the woman's family, not only to settle in the wife's house, but also to take the wife's parents as his own parents, and the children to follow the wife's surname, and the offspring must also inherit the mother's ancestry.

And in ancient times, the son-in-law was not only a status symbol of shame.

It is even a symbol of "slaves" and "criminals", and is bullied and discriminated against.

For example, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Yan Zhu's Biography records: "Huainan customs, selling sons and others as slaves and maids, called Zongzi, can not be redeemed for three years, so they become slaves." ”

The so-called son-in-law means son-in-law.

If the family does not come to redeem it for three years, they become real slaves.

Because sons-in-law are generally from poor backgrounds, large families will not marry their daughters to them, and they are often matched with concubines, or even directly with female slaves.

Therefore, it can be said that the role played by the son-in-law is completely a fertility tool, and he will not be respected by the wife's family as an uncle at all.

The pre-Qin literature "The Book of Songs: Ge Yuan" once mentioned the humble status of the son-in-law: "The brother of the end is called the father of others, and I don't care about it...... It is said that he is the mother of others, and I have ...... It is said that others Kun, and I don't hear it. ”

Therefore, it is a shame to be redundant.

"Definitely." Chen Yun shook his head, "Jin Xiangguo is willing to marry the only daughter in the family, and I don't feel ashamed to enter the Jin Mansion." ”

Jin Hong was surprised: "Then why don't you want to join my Jin family?" My Jin family has a lot of money, and I can help you to rise to prominence in the future, I really can't imagine the reason why you refuse to enter my Jin Mansion, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will break your head and rush to get rich. ”

Chen Yun didn't answer this question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Jin Xiangguo, I have always had a question that I can't understand, you are well-informed, can you ponder it for me?" ”

Jin Hong nodded and said, "What's the problem?" You come on. ”

Chen Yun looked at the other party seriously, "Where do you say people will go after they die?" ”

Jin Hong was stunned and said with a smile: "People die like lights going out, how do I know where to go?" ”

He was transformed by Zhongli Quan, how could he not know where people go after death?

It's just that these words can't be spoken, otherwise they will be seen.

Well, Zhong Liquan still thinks that his acting skills are very good, and he has not revealed any flaws.

Although Zhong Liquan is confident that his acting skills are fine, he always feels that something is wrong, as if Chen Yun's attitude is a little too comfortable.

Chen Yun nodded in agreement, "Yes, people die like lights going out, so what's the use of asking for thousands of family wealth?" Can life bring it, and death can bring it? ”

Hearing this, an inexplicable brilliance flashed in Jin Hong's eyes.

The same is true of Wang Laozhi, Cai Rujin and Wang Zixi, who play the role of the family at the door.

Chen Yun continued, "You were an emperor during your lifetime, and you are only a handful of graves after death, so I want to ask Jin Xiangguo, what is the use of money?" What is the use of rights? ”

"When a person dies, power and wealth are naturally useless." Jin Hong agreed, and then retorted, "However, life is short for decades, if you have no power, you want to be an ant, if you have no wealth and suffer a lot, don't you want to live a life of fine clothes and food, and scold Fang Xuan?" Don't you want to make a name for yourself and be admired by future generations? Even though a man dies, his spirit endures. ”

Chen Yun shook his head gently, "Meritorious service is for a country, my ambition, under the whole world, all things are born, all nature, so Chen Yun is dedicated to the Tao, but seeks longevity, rain and the world." ”

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was shocked!

All things are alive, all things are natural?

This remark is just like Lao Tzu's words "man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature", which is deafening!

What is the law of man, the law of the earth, the law of heaven, the law of heaven, and the law of nature?

The general meaning of this sentence is: people live and work and multiply according to the earth; The earth alternates between cold and summer according to the heavens, and nourishes all things; The natural climate and celestial changes follow the "avenue" between the universes; The great "Tao" is based on the nature of nature, and it is natural to become what it is.

Ordinary people have made meritorious achievements, and even emperors govern the country, but they only educate the subjects of a country.

However, Chen Yun's words show that his ideal is to raise the heavens and the earth, grasp the yin and yang, and let everything in the world develop naturally.

This is Taoism with great love!

Taoism advocates "great love without love", that is, "heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are used as dogs, saints are not benevolent, and people are dogs".

Heaven and earth are merciful, they have no benevolence, they treat everything like a dog, and they let everything die on its own.

The Tao often does nothing, but does nothing.

Jin Hong's eyes when he looked at Chen Yun completely changed.

He finally knew what kind of ambition the young man sitting in front of him was.

Wang Laozhi, Cai Rujin and Wang Zixi, who played the role of a family member at the door, all looked at Chen Yun in disbelief.

Not only them, but also He Xiangu and Uncle Zheng Wen, who hid at the door to "watch the play".

Everyone was taken aback by Chen Yun's words.

This kind of ambition is not something that anyone can say!

It's just that this kind of comprehension of the Tao is not like what a young man can have.

Zhong Liquan, who turned into Jin Hong, even had some doubts that someone had taught these words in advance.

He immediately looked at He Xiangu and Uncle Zheng Wen who were waiting outside the house, and then swept the cheeks of Wang Laozhi at the door.

If someone taught Chen Yun in advance, it could only be these three people.

Because although Cai Rujin and Wang Tsaixi's cultivation is not weak, their understanding of the Tao cannot reach this level.

Who knew that when Zhong Liquan looked over, the eyes of these three people showed surprise and surprise.

Obviously, He Xiangu, Zheng Wenshu and Wang Laozhi were also surprised to hear that Chen Yun had such magnificent ambitions.

Then, this remark can basically declare that no one has been taught.

It's just that Zhong Liquan is still suspicious.

It is impossible for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to realize such a truth.

He decided to come to a ruthless one and see what the real situation was.

Thinking of this, Jin Hong suddenly sneered, "What do you mean, you won't marry a little girl no matter what?" ”

Chen Yundao: "Yes." ”

Hearing this, Jin Hong's hair was all open: "You thief trespassed into the little girl's boudoir, tarnished her innocence, and refused to be responsible, do you really think my Jin family is easy to bully?" Good! Today, I will bury you in the hall, and wash away the shame of the little girl's innocence with your purple blood! ”

After that, he took out the waist knife from his waist and pointed it directly at Chen Yun's neck, "Little thief, let me ask you again, do you marry a little girl?" ”

Chen Yun resolutely said: "If you can't prove immortality to the Tao wholeheartedly, Chen is willing to die!" ”

"Then you will die!"

Jin Hong suddenly stabbed the tip of the knife into Chen Yun's heart!

At this point, Chen Yun still thought that the other party was acting, and he didn't have the slightest worry.

He felt that the other party would not really kill him.

However, what was unexpected was that Jin Hong didn't leave any hands!

Poof!

The tip of the knife pierced through the flesh and into the ribs.

A sharp pain came from the position of his heart, and Chen Yun looked down in disbelief at the chest that was bleeding from the piercing of the waist knife, and his face turned white all of a sudden.

Difficult...... Am I guessing wrong?

Isn't the other person a master of the preaching world?

He really couldn't believe that the other party would stab him in the heart.

At this moment, Jin Hong's face was hideous, and his sleeves were even more dyed red by the blood gushing out of Chen Yun's chest.

He asked again, almost frantically, "Little thief, do you regret it?" ”

Feel the life force passing.

Chen Yun's whole body twitched in pain, and his consciousness became a little blurred.

Do you regret your choice today?

To be honest, Chen Yun is more afraid of death than anyone else.

And realize that all previous guesses were wrong.

It stands to reason that the intestines that I should regret are blue.

I don't know why, when he really stood between life and death, Chen Yun's heart calmed down all of a sudden.

Life is short for decades.

If you can't attain immortality and eternity, early death and late death are death.

If you enter the Golden Mansion and steal your life, and you lose the opportunity to become an immortal, what is the point of living?

Emily, a famous poetess in Europe and the United States. Dickinson wrote in "If I Had Not Seen the Sun": I could have endured the darkness if I had not seen the sun.

Oh, yes.

If I hadn't known that there was an immortal in this world, maybe I would have been willing to live an ordinary life.

But......

I've seen the light!

Chen Yun, whose consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, suddenly raised his head and smiled sadly, and read the words of Guan Yunchang before his death in the seventy-sixth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and said: "Jade can be broken but cannot be changed, bamboo can be burned but not destroyed, although the body falls, my will cannot be changed!" ”

After speaking, Chen Yun's eyes darkened, and he completely lost any consciousness.

But it didn't last long.

The next moment, a loud laugh rang in his ears.

"Haha!"

"Good! A good jade can be broken and cannot be changed to its whiteness! A good bamboo can be burned but not destroyed! Although a good body falls, I can't change my will! ”

"Senior Brother Chen, don't wake up soon?"

With the sound of laughter, Chen Yun only felt a burst of brilliance in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he saw himself standing safe and sound under the sunny day, and all the carved beams and paintings were gone, and they were replaced by a deserted countryside.

Well?

Am I not dead?

Chen Yun was puzzled for a while, and when he looked at it, he Xiangu, Zheng Wenshu, Wang Laozhi, Cai Rujin and Wang Zixi stood in front of him; and a middle-aged man with combed hair, long hair over the abdomen, holding a fan in his hand, bare-chested and exposed breasts, and a bold and atmospheric appearance.

Looking at his image, this person is Zhong Liquan!
