Chapter 119: Reading in the Teahouse
"Yu Changwen said that the ancients opened the heavens, at the beginning of the one yuan, the two instruments were differentiated, the four images were formed, and then there were five elements, eight trigrams and twelve palaces, and then turned into three thousand worlds, one hundred thousand heavens, and finally you and me. ”
Yu Shao knew poetry and books, admired the magic power of the ancient immortals through heaven and earth, resolutely searched, and then got a wisp of immortality. After practicing for 150 years, the golden pill will be knotted, and all the bones will be molted. I have not forgotten the admiration of my childish years, visited all over the three mountains and four seas, the five lakes and eight wildernesses, and got one or two anecdotes about the great cause of the ancient immortals, and then compiled them, and finally became a volume, the name of which is called, Persona of the Three Thousand Worlds. ”
"Three thousand, the number is vain. The world has the reincarnation of heaven and earth and the reincarnation of all things. Those who hear different things say that they have never heard of anything they have never heard, and they have never seen what they have never seen, and they dare not believe it or say that it is false. ”
Du Lanzhen and Shen Huaiyan sat in the teahouse opposite Hui'an Pavilion, leaning against the window, forbidding them, sitting face to face, with the books that Du Lanzhen had just bought on the table, and read them together.
"It turned out to be a myth and a legend. Du Lanzhen read the editor's introduction and suddenly said, "When I was in the sect, I didn't read this kind of book very much, maybe there are records in the sect, but I don't know." ”
"When you first cultivated immortals, didn't you read this kind of book?" Shen Huaiyan said strangely, "I thought that these myths were the most attractive to children, and everyone had to turn them over when they had time." When I was young, I often looked for it, and when the elders saw that it was not a script, at least they could gain more knowledge, so they turned a blind eye and didn't stop me from turning it over. She said with some emotion, "Back then, the foundation was not built, in addition to practicing swordsmanship, I only had this fun to talk about in the Lingyun Sword Sect to be relieved." ”
"I always felt that these things were useless and I didn't bother to look at it. Duran said, "But now it has changed, firstly, the longevity is not short, you have to have some fun, and secondly, accumulate some seemingly useless things, who knows when you will use them." ”
"You, this is a typical theory of the usefulness of reading!" Shen Huaiyan laughed when he heard this, leaned back, leaned back in the chair, and smiled lazily at her.
"What is the usefulness of reading?" Du Lanzhen knew that she was halfway talking, waiting for herself to ask, but he didn't care, smiled slightly, and asked according to her meaning.
"You think reading is useful, you can gain knowledge, know the gains and losses, and know the advance and retreat, so you are willing to read, right?" Shen Huaiyan asked.
"Naturally. Duran really laughed, "There is a theory that reading is useful, and there is also a theory that reading is useless." Don't tell me, you don't think it's meaningful to read, if you have time to read two more books, it's better to go out and experience it, at least you can earn some spirit stones. ”
"Wrong!" Shen Huaiyan raised his eyebrows, "The one you said, although it is also useful or useless, but it is not the same thing as the one I said." ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"Like that stupid thing, it is meaningless to say that some reading, it is better to earn spirit stones, whoever cares about him is to let him not study, and it is not someone else's business to suffer. Reading, naturally, is useful. ”
"But listen to you, you still have a useless theory, and you obviously are not a useful theory?" asked Duran.
"Yes, I'm the kind of useless theory of reading!" Shen Huaiyan clapped his hands and laughed, "You read because it is useful, if it is useless to you, you don't want to read, and would rather spend your time on other things." I read, but it's not like that. ”
"I thought, why should reading be useful? Reading for the sake of being useful is already inferior, and the gain and loss are too great, so I don't take it. Reading should be reading for the sake of reading, just for reading, and nothing else. It is broad and observant, thick and thin, and has its own providence in the future. ”
Shen Huaiyan's spirit is flying, and he said freely, "Why should reading be useful", happy and unrestrained, without scruples, between words, there is a kind of beauty beyond the skin, thrilling, people can't help but be impressed by its unrestrained bearing.
"According to you, isn't it also a matter of accumulation? This seems to be a bit contrary to your theory of uselessness?"
"Reading is the cause, and accumulation is the effect. Your theory of reading is useful, but reading is the means, and accumulation is the goal, can this be the same?" Shen Huaiyan asked rhetorically.
Duran Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Even if you have some truth, there is still merit." ”
Shen Huaiyan smiled, didn't say any more, and Du Lanzhen lowered his head again, looking at the Three Thousand Worlds Persona.
The two are just chatting, and they don't talk about the so-called useful or useless, because they know that once they talk seriously, they won't be able to finish it in a while, and the two have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, and this matter does not have to be right or wrong.
In other words, there is no right or wrong.
Du Lanzhen and Shen Huaiyan are like-minded, but they don't have to be similar in everything, the so-called harmony and real creatures are not the same, the two don't force it, but when they talk about it, they just laugh it off.
"There are immortals outside the world, who are called Tongwei Shaoyang Dao Ancestors, and their magical powers are incomparable. ”
"There are immortals, known as Lingtai Xuanmiao Daojun, with boundless mana, longevity and Tianqi, benevolence, and educating the people. ”
"No wonder the Persona of the Three Thousand Worlds is now scattered. The two of them flipped through a pamphlet page by page, and it didn't take long to finish reading it, Shen Huaiyan exhaled, threw down the booklet, and said with a smile, "This boring, storyless Persona specializes in listing some great supernatural powers, and boring stories that mortals are tired of reading, who wants to read it?"
Duran really didn't expect that the Three Thousand World Persona would sell dog meat on the head of a sheep. Persona Persona, nothing unusual, just a list of the names of the great supernatural powers that no one knows if there is, it's strange that some people like it.
"It's just for fun. Duran smiled helplessly, put the book away, and looked down through the window. In the crowd, there is no shadow of Feng Yi.
"Didn't that trickster come?" Shen Huaiyan slumped lazily on the chair, took out a bamboo stick casually, and knocked it on the teacup again and again, making a tinkling sound.
Du Lan really heard her say "arrogant", and she refused to even shout her name, so she knew that she was quite disdainful when she mentioned Dou Yuanbaiyi, and obviously looked down on this person. Fortunately, Du Lan really didn't really fall in love with Dou Yuanbai, otherwise he would definitely start to wonder if his vision was really bad.
"Who looked at him?" Du Lanzhen sneered, "I just glanced at Feng Yilai and didn't come." ”
Shen Huaiyan glanced at her, suddenly approached, and grabbed her hand, the two faced each other, one with a sharp gaze and the other with a gentle gaze, but no one dodged.
"You didn't come to Haiguo to simply come to practice, right?" Shen Huaiyan looked at her with a smile.
