Xu Ke raised his feet and walked from the stairs to the twelve-story pavilion.

He still recalled in his heart the question asked by the owner of Canghai Mansion:

"Little brother, if your real life is like my hundred years of vicissitudes, rushing by, and finally returning to dust, will you feel regret in your heart?"

At that time, he did not immediately answer the question of the owner of the Canghai Building, but was silent for a long time, but he didn't know what to do for a while, the owner of the Canghai Mansion just smiled when he saw this, and waved goodbye to him......

Xu Ke walked up, suddenly feeling a little strange in his heart, this staircase seemed to be unusually high, he kept climbing the stairs, but he never reached the end.

He leaned down and looked down, but he had long since disappeared from the owner of the Canghai Mansion downstairs, and all he saw in front of him was a wooden ladder. He looked up again, and the wooden ladder was slender and long, leading to the top, and it seemed that he couldn't see the end, and there seemed to be a vast cloud at the top of the wooden ladder......

At this moment, while he slowly walked up, he thought to himself:

"If my real life is like a fantasy in this sea building, every day is spent plainly, and every day is just repeated. There are no other joys and accidents in life except for eating and sleeping...... If I really have this kind of life, I should have regrets in my heart, right?"

"I came into this world in a hurry, I didn't know why I came, I didn't know what I was going to do, I didn't even know who I was, and I left in a hurry...... I didn't understand all the doubts in my mind, but I passed away in a hurry, what difference is there between living my life like this and not living at all?"

"Although I have abundant food and clothing on the island, I live a happy life, no one bothers me, no one hurts me, and no one gives me any pressure or grievance...... However, what is the meaning of such a life? Although I have lived together for more than a hundred years, in these hundred years, my life has only been constantly repeated, repeatedly satisfying my appetites, resting, sleeping, getting up, resting and sleeping, resting and sleeping, and repeatedly fixing myself in a state of numbness...... I've lived my whole life in repetition like this, and even if I live for a hundred years, what's the benefit?"

"However, if this is not the case, how shall I finish my life in order to be meaningful? What kind of life should I live so that I will not be left with regrets? What kind of life should I live in vain?"

"All things are born and each has its own belonging, and who in this world can tell how a life should be walked through in order to live a meaningful life?

"Haha! Since ancient times, how many people have become kings and marquises, and how many people can have a good ending? If you have high merit, you will be the master of the town, and you will cook as soon as the cunning rabbit dies! But if you are a person with no talent and no merit, how can you become a king and a marquis! Among those who are officials, who is not a slave to the upper and the lower, and pretends to be a low-spirited person? In order to keep climbing upwards, he does not hesitate to use all his means to do so, what is the interest of his life?

"As for those wealthy businessmen, they are even more worried, they have worked hard for half their lives, and they have a huge wealth, not only do they have to worry about wealth being coveted by robbers and the government every day, but they also have to guard against thieves every night, and prevent their wives, concubines, children, and relatives from plotting to seize your family property. If you have wealth but no officials, wealth will only bring disaster to you, and if you have wealth but no means to defend yourself, wealth may be enough to kill you! You guard a pile of gold and silver, but you worry day and night, and defend day and night...... It's really funny and generous to be so worried about my life!"

"Even if you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and own the whole world, the greater the power, the heavier the responsibility! The Son of Heaven needs to go to court every day, and the memoranda to be reviewed alone is like a mountain, and you are overwhelmed. You must guard against bullying by your neighbors externally, and you must guard against the abuse of power by ministers internally, and you must set an example by bowing to your superiors in everything, and you must be vigilant day and night to prevent the people from rebelling...... How many days and nights can make you truly relaxed and happy?"

Xu Ke imagined what kind of life could make him feel that he had not lived in vain, and when he finally left, he would not feel regretful, but he thought about it for a long time, no matter what kind of life it was, it couldn't arouse his great interest......

If he is allowed to be an official, he is already in the position of a hundred households in Tsing Yi at a young age, and the court experience of half a year has really made him tired of the way of officialdom. In the future, if he is allowed to return to the temple and then enter the deceit of officialdom, he will not be very happy in his heart.

If he is allowed to become a wealthy businessman, he will find it even more boring. In his current life, he already owns a mansion in Liquanfang, with everything he needs at home, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, food and drink, what he wants, and daily life, although it is not as good as the emperor's house, but it is enough to be proud of the capital. In addition, there is a "clever empty" Shu hatetian in the family, and when the silver is not enough, the treasury can be filled overnight. He is actually a little tired of the life of this rich businessman.

Since ancient times, what mortals have sought is nothing more than power and wealth, but Xu Ke is tired of both. If he is asked to seek it all his life, in order to constantly pursue more power and wealth, he will definitely not agree. But what else can people in the world do in the world for besides chasing this fame and fortune?

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes have spent their lives constantly practicing, practicing day and night, in order to achieve great success in their kung fu and one day be invincible in the world. But in Xu Ke's eyes, even if you are a great kung fu and can overwhelm the crowd, what can you do? In the eyes of those immortals in the heavenly court, those kung fu of mortals are just the skills of children's daily play, and the so-called "invincible in the world", in the eyes of the immortals with supreme divine power, what ability can you with? Moreover, people in the martial arts have always been people outside the mountains, no matter how good your kung fu is, no one can think of being invincible in the world! He also doesn't want to spend his short life on endless martial arts training, if he lives like this, why not stay on the island, enjoy himself, and live happily for a lifetime?

In the end, Xu Ke even felt that even if he gave you a position as an emperor, it might not be a meaningful life. If you do your best to be a good emperor, tired of working day and night, and diligent day and night, how much fun will this life have? If you only care about your own pleasures, you will inevitably listen to and believe partially, and allow traitors to abuse power and cause chaos, so that you will become a faint king, not only will the people of the world be miserable, but will also leave an infamy in the history books, and such a life will make him regret it even more......

"In the end...... What kind of life can make me feel satisfied, so that I don't end up with regrets?"

"As long as I can do what I want to do, walk the way I walk, love the people I love, look up to the sky, bow down to the earth, follow the way of nature in everything, follow myself in my heart, and live comfortably and self-sufficiently every day...... In such a life, I should not leave any regrets!"

Xu Ke thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that his life on the island was actually a good choice. Although I have always been alone, but this life is also spent without trouble, every day in my heart is like a bright day and white clouds, relaxed, complacent, every day is like the waves of the sea, clear and light, clear and flawless, and there is no trace of mundane troubles entangled, such a life, why should I feel regretful?

Whether you are an official or a wealthy person, the more you get, the more you lose, as everyone knows, while you envy others, others are also envious of your life. Perhaps, an ordinary life will really make you have no worries, no troubles, and no regrets in the end.

Xu Ke stepped up and continued to raise his legs up.

......

......

Almost at the same time, in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace in Chang'an City.

Emperor Li Chongsheng was leaning on his imperial couch, holding the recitals of the ministers in his hand to read them one by one, and Gao Liangshi, the chief of the inner court, walked up to the palace in small steps, bowed to the emperor, and Li Jin, the king of Wei, asked to see him.

Li Chongsheng raised his head slightly, and said with a slight puzzle: "Didn't he just come here last night?" I remember that he seems to have felt a cold outside, and his body is still a little weak, why did he enter the palace again today? Let him come in!"

Gao Liangshi leaned over to receive the order and walked out, and before long, he saw Li Jin, the king of Wei, slowly walking to the front of the emperor, kneeling to the emperor, and said respectfully:

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! How many times have I said that when you come to see me in the future, if there are no outsiders, you don't have to kneel!" Li Chongsheng hurriedly waved his hand to order Li Zhen to get up.

Gao Liangshi had already moved over a pestle covered with a leather mattress, picked up Li Zhen and carefully helped him to sit down on the pestle.

Li Chongsheng asked: "Jin'er, I just told you last night to let you rest and recuperate at home, why do you want to enter the palace again after half a day?"

Li Zhen hurriedly replied: "Enlighten my father, my son's son is only a little cold, and I have drunk some ginseng soup this morning, and I feel very good!

Li Chongsheng said: "You are in a hurry to come today, you won't be for that 'stunned young man' again, right?"

Li Zhen said: "Back to my father, my son's ministers came today, and it was indeed for Xu Ke's business......"

"Really?" ......Li Chongsheng couldn't help but twist his beard and laugh, he put the fold in his hand on the imperial case, simply stood up, stretched his arms casually, walked back and forth in the hall a few steps, and asked with a smile:

"Didn't I already promise you to acquit him......? Do you want to ask for an official for him?"

I didn't want to, but Li Zhen nodded and replied: "Back to my father, my son is here for Xu Ke's official position......

Li Chongsheng waved his hand, returned to the royal couch and sat down, and said:

"I know that you cherish this Xu Ke and want to cultivate him well, but ...... I just issued an order early this morning, stripped him of his official position, and demoted him to a commoner, how can I change the order and suddenly restore his official status?"
