Chapter 577: Strangeness
After a while, the road gradually sloped and began to go uphill. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Daqiu City is exquisitely built, the layout is reasonable, everywhere is a place to enjoy the scenery, there are always pedestrians on the road to stop and watch the scenery.
However, the higher you go, the more you go up, the more people there are in the Zhumen Deep Courtyard, and the number of pedestrians has decreased a lot.
At this time, Shen Yirou suddenly asked, "Doesn't Brother Xiao want to ask me something?"
The two were silent for a long time, but after all, Shen Yirou couldn't hold her breath first and asked back.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Since you and I got acquainted, Yirou should have known some things, but I was just in the dark." For such a long time, if Yirou wanted to say it, she would have said it a long time ago, so why should I ask. If Yirou doesn't want to say it, what's the use of asking?"
Shen Yirou was dumbfounded, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked timidly, "Is Brother Xiao weird Yirou?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Yirou doesn't say it, she has her own reasons not to say it." ”
Shen Yirou said: "If Brother Xiao can think like this, Yirou will be relieved." After a pause, he said: "There are some things that Yirou doesn't know much, and Yirou feels that this matter can only be explained to Brother Xiao when the time comes." Otherwise, if you can't figure out the truth, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to accept Brother Xiao's calmness. ”
Xiao Yi looked at the avenue stretching upwards and couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Yiju said: "As long as Brother Xiao knows, no matter when, Yirou will always stand on Brother Xiao's side, and will never hurt or allow others to hurt Brother Xiao." ”
Xiao Yi listened to the sincerity of what he said, and was moved in his heart, and he was busy thanking her, and actually comforted her in turn.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the two of them didn't speak for a while, and suddenly felt a little lonely.
Shen Yirou felt guilty in her heart, and said without words: "Brother Xiao, since you entered Qingzhou, you haven't found a single strange thing?"
Xiao Yi said: "What's strange?"
Shen Yiju: "Didn't you find that there are only restaurants and no restaurants in Qingzhou?"
The person who corrects does not eat grains, so he does not care about restaurants and the like. After Shen Yirou reminded him, Xiao Yi looked back and thought about it, and sure enough, he didn't find a restaurant in Qingzhou. He was strange in his heart, and he became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What is the reason for this?"
Shen Yirou smiled: "Actually, it comes from an allusion at this time. ”
Xiao Yi was very interested in Confucian allusions, and he was overjoyed and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Shen Yirou sorted out her thoughts and said: "In ancient times, whenever a new weapon was cast, it was necessary to kill animals to take blood and sacrifice them. There was a good-hearted king, and when he saw his men passing by with a trembling ox, he asked him why he wanted to go. ”
The man replied that he was going to kill the blood sacrifice bell. The king felt compassion for him, and ordered his men to let the oxen go, saying that they could not bear to see the ox trembling. But the king said, "Why don't you sacrifice the bell?" ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yi smiled and said: "This king deceives himself, he is really funny and angry. ”
Shen Yiju said: "At that time, the people didn't understand Wang's approach, some thought like Brother Xiao, and some thought that Wang was stingy and deliberately found an excuse to change the small into the big." ”
Xiao Yi nodded. He knew that there was still a twist in the story, but he could not think of any better words in his mind, so he listened more intently, lest he miss a word.
I only heard Shen Yiju: "At that time, there was a person who believed in the king's statement very much. The man knew that the king was not stingy, nor was he deceiving himself. The reason why the king replaced the ox for a sheep was because he had never seen the sheep tremble. ”
Xiao Yi was puzzled: "Cattle and sheep are all life, since you see the cow trembling when you see the innocent death, you should know that the sheep will tremble when they die for the cow, isn't this self-deception?"
Shen Yirou said: "This has nothing to do with self-deception. For it is true that the king was only unbearable. ”
Xiao Yi still can't understand that in his opinion, all beings are equal, like cattle and sheep, which does not mean that he is unbearable.
Shen Yirou once heard his argument and knew what he was thinking, so he continued to explain: "Brother Xiao has a very high understanding, and when he sees the cow trembling, he can think of the sheep's scared appearance. But mortals are different, mortals have limited thinking, and they can only really feel it when they see it with their own eyes. In the eyes of Brother Xiao, a leaf knows autumn, but in the eyes of mortals, a leaf is a leaf. ”
Xiao Yi's heart jumped, and he exclaimed, speechless. To put it mildly, he overestimated the understanding and wisdom of the people who heard the sermons, thinking that anyone could become a saint as long as he devoted himself to teaching.
His heart was moved, and he began to understand the king's thoughts.
I only heard Shen Yirou continue: "That king has a superior life, and he has never seen a sheep die, so he thinks that saving cattle is the greatest benevolence." The people could not understand because they were accustomed to seeing cattle and sheep and other livestock die miserably, and they knew that cattle and sheep were the same. ”
Xiao Yi couldn't speak, and said in his heart: "In this way, although the king's approach is questionable, his heart is not bad. ”
Shen Yirou suddenly sighed and said, "Although we have been studying knowledge, we want to create a peaceful world. However, there are always some injustices in the world that are destined and unavoidable. For example, jackals, tigers and leopards must eat other animals to survive, and we humans must continue to kill to survive. We have always opposed killing, but the killing has never stopped and will never stop. ”
Xiao Yi looked back at Shen Yirou with a little surprise, and couldn't imagine that this girl, who had always been shy and silent, dared to ask such a profound question about the world.
From these insights, it can be guessed that the experience of the soft woman in front of her must be very bumpy.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi felt the same way, and also said: "Yirou is right, these are irreconcilable contradictions between man and nature. However, for nature, killing also has its positive side. It is precisely because of the killing that all living beings will continue to forge ahead and strive to avoid catastrophe. It is precisely because of killing that countless civilizations such as the Hundred Schools of Thought were born. Killing is also a kind of nature, endless, and all we can do is reduce unnecessary killing. ”
After going through a lot, he gradually saw through it, and when it came to killing, although he still sighed a little, it was no longer as heavy as before.
Although Shen Yirou has a wonderful understanding, she has not yet reached the height of her understanding, and when she heard the last sentence, she suddenly said: "All we can do is to reduce unnecessary killings." Brother Xiao's words really express the essence of all schools' learning. (To be continued.) )
