"If you come, you will be safe. The most important thing now is to save the goddess. ”

Li Feibai is one of the few people who entered the Dan Cave with Ming Qin, her cultivation is far above Ming Qin, and she will need to find a way to return to the fairy world in the future.

The goddess of Lishan is really unfavorable, just woke up from the Nuwa stone, and encountered an opponent like the sea storm, the sea storm devoured the inner dan of several Shura sect priests, and gave birth to the power of the bloodline, the goddess of Lishan is not too difficult to defeat him, the sea storm is also too confident, when the bloodline divine power is exerted, she can't control the power of devouring in the Yuan Dan, and she ends up with no bones, and the goddess of Lishan is also injured by the mirage and is unconscious.

Life is numb, and practitioners are even more so. The adult world is always full of interests and deceit, and human beings have many desires, but they do not feel happy.

There are about three kinds of needs in the world: physical, material, and spiritual. Many creatures stay in the physiological stage, and all they need for life is diet and reproduction. The Terrans have established a world of artifacts and spiritual needs, such as philosophy, religion, music, art, and calligraphy.

In fact, there seems to be no absolute connection between the material and the spiritual. Yuan Zhen's poem, 'poor and lowly couples mourn everything', but it only refers to material poverty, and the spiritual life of Yuan Zhen and his wife should be pleasant.

Many people think that mental suffering is due to material deprivation. Guan Zi also said, 'Cang Liao is full and knows etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace'. Food and clothing are physiological and material needs, and etiquette and honor are spiritual aspects. Mencius also said, 'There is no perseverance without constant production'. People who are poor in material things are prone to debauchery.

But on the other hand, the higher the material conditions, the more happy and satisfying the spirit? Spirit is not material-based. There are many people in the world who are happy and happy, such as Yan Hui and Yuan Xian, and their religious practice is especially to become a monk and escape from the world, and to suffer from self-suffering. Although this is the behavior of a small number of people, it seems that these people are the so-called seeers of the Tao, who really see through the relationship between matter and spirit.

Matter and spirit do not seem to be necessarily linked. Brocade clothes and delicacies, high-rise buildings and mansions can only settle people's bodies, but cannot satisfy people's spirits. Religion, philosophy, music, and fine arts, only these spiritual things can bring spiritual comfort, and physical and material deficiencies will not affect this spiritual satisfaction.

Eating and sleeping are physiological needs, and if you don't eat enough or sleep well, you will certainly feel uncomfortable, and eating and sleeping enough will not eliminate your worries and worries. In the same way, material scarcity will bring some hardship, and material abundance will not eliminate the anxiety of life.

Physical, material and spiritual should be different levels, and spiritual satisfaction can neither go without eating and sleeping, nor can it directly solve the problem of livelihood. Of course, a work of art may bring some material benefits. This also shows that although art is spiritual, works of art are material.

Physicists preach 'preserving the principles of heaven and destroying people's desires', eating sparingly, and having few desires. Because people's energy is limited, on the one hand, they seek too much, and on the other hand, they will inevitably be lacking. Physiology and matter are visible and touchable, only the spiritual world is elusive. Therefore, practitioners often lower their physical and material needs in search of spiritual mysteries.

Worldly people often think that the richer the material resources, the more spiritually satisfied. Taoists believe that too much materialism can lead to spiritual obstruction. It is clear that physical, material and spiritual cannot replace each other. Yan Hui has a spoonful of food and a scoop of drink, in the alley, the material can be described as extremely poor, but diet is always indispensable, otherwise it will not be able to sustain life. The Buddha enlightened in the forest, did not drink or eat, and finally could not hold on and accepted gifts from passers-by.

From the perspective of human admiration, material is important, but spirit is even more important. What can be passed down through the ages and become the immortal value of human civilization is mostly spiritual things. Life in the world, especially in secular society, is almost still at the level of material pursuits. Confucianism also recognized the rationality of material pursuits, and Confucius traveled to defend the country, and believed that he should be rich and taught. Mencius also said that if there is no permanent birth, there is no perseverance, and it is necessary to make the people live and die without regrets. After Liu Bang pacified the world, he recruited Confucian students to formulate etiquette, but the two Confucian students of Lu refused to go, thinking that it was not the right time.

Ritual music is a spiritual thing, and Confucian red tape has many things that are not practical. But spirit and matter are different aspects of human needs, and matter is not the absolute basis of spirit, so Wang Chuanshan criticized Lu Ersheng's behavior. The material pursuit is endless, and it is impossible for people to pursue the spiritual level after material satisfaction, and Taoists believe that if the materialistic desire is too strong, the mundane will be obscured, and it will be more difficult to see the mind.

Therefore, in a materialistic society, the moral standard is not necessarily high.

Material pursuits have their rationality, but after the material reaches a certain level, the state and society should direct the pursuit of human beings to the spiritual level, and in turn control material desires, so as to avoid the crisis of incorruptibility and shame and profit-seeking.

Otherwise, 'the rich have a land of hope, and the poor have no place to stand', 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones', the wealth and profits are not abundant, only in the hands of a few people, the poor are hungry and cold, no one cares, the society is vying for fame and profit, accustomed to shamelessness, in the endless pursuit of material desires, grabbing, sinking + falling, luxury enjoyment, what hope is there?

'If it is not for useless things, how can it be sent to life'. The ancients said, 'Virtue, meritorious service, and speech' are three unfortunates. None of these three things have eternal value.

But it seems that life does not have to pursue eternal values. The world is so big, it is impossible for everyone to be the protagonist, but in their own lives, one family and one room, after all, they are the protagonists.

Virtue and meritorious service, not necessarily famous in the world, Ze is born, as long as you can make the people around you feel happy, when you are old, there are still people who miss it, and it is considered that you have done all the things of life, and you have not walked in the world in vain.

Ming Qin is not Mo Yu, he has no sense of belonging to the Dragon Realm, and the Southern Mo Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect are also very unfamiliar to him. But 'people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless', and the ancient sages are nothing more than more developed emotions and reason.

Buddhism is compassionate, Mohist is love, evil loves the enemy as oneself, what is not emotional? Lao Tzu does nothing, Zhuangzi is free, Yang Zhu is me, what is not rational?

If the emotion is too developed, it is emotional, and the kindness of the woman is its disadvantage, and if the reason is too much, the emotion is numb, indifferent and ruthless, which is also not good.

Emotions need to be controlled by reason, and reason needs to be regulated by emotions. This is the spirit of Confucianism.

Lao Tzu said, 'repay grievances with virtue'. This is a sign of deep emotion. Confucius said, how to repay virtue? This is rational adjustment, 'to repay grievances with directness, and to repay virtue with virtue', which is not only clear about love and hatred, but also not loyal.

The gods are high, and they think they are transcendent and extraordinary, but they only ask about the things of the world. It's not hard to understand that humans who aren't entomologists don't pay much attention to the habits of ants.

Cultivators are not as good as immortals, but their skills are far beyond those of ordinary people. There are not many deep feelings, but cold and ruthless abound.

Mencius said, 'Those who are adults do not lose the heart of a child'. Adults are one of the six realms of Confucianism, and what is usually referred to as adults, as opposed to children, refers specifically to adults. Adults are too rational and insensitive. A child is a baby, and his mood is left to nature, so reason needs to be supplemented by emotion. in order to become a full and glorious adult.

Life is like a reverse journey, is there a time when you are tired? Grief has nowhere to vent, no one to confide in grievances, over time, cold and numb, ups and downs in the world, depraved in material desires, no longer sheds tears, will not be moved, like walking corpses, the soul is half dead, how sad!

Cultivators in the world are like the sands of the Ganges, there are those who seek immortality, and those who strive for fame and fortune abound. In terms of Mingqin's circumstances, it is not difficult to get ahead and go to the peak of life.

However, he has been running for many years, and it seems that he has achieved nothing, so he can only say that he is not here. But he also survived the fate of being insensitive, and did not kill people and seize treasures like many cultivators, and only regarded profit as he was.

Luo Yongyan searched for a long time in the palace, and finally found Ming and Xiao on the platform.

"Hai Shao, you can make it easy for me to find it. ”

Luo Yongyan felt strange, Ming Qin tied up his daughter-in-law with five flowers, but hid outside with a little palace maid under the moon, Qingqing and I, I don't know what kind of soup Luo Xuanyin was poured by him, and he actually fell in love with such a person.

"Luo Ling, are you looking for me?"

Ming Qin didn't expect Luo Yongyan to come over, seeing that she couldn't hide the disdain in her eyes, she knew that the relationship with Xiao Wanlan couldn't be explained.

Luo Yongyan said: "You tied up the Tong girl, I can't get rid of Miss Qi, so I can only come to you." ”

"Jiaoru is too temperamental, and I have no choice but to do this. It's not difficult to untie her, but I can't control it if she makes a fuss. Let her sleep peacefully and talk about it tomorrow. ”

Ming Qin planned to go to the Zhishui Palace to say hello to Gu Pan first, so as not to make Xiao Wanlan walk around the palace and make people suspicious.

Luo Yongyan saw that Ming Qin was pulling Xiao Yilan to leave, and said hurriedly: "Are they all waiting for you? I can't let you go." ”

"Luo Ling, this is my family business. You don't want to meddle. ”

Ming Qin knew why Luo Yongyan was so concerned about Luo Qi, and the Mirage Dragon King let Luo Qi and Luo Yongyan get close, and he didn't know what to do.

Ming Qin ignored Luo Yongyan and took Xiao Yilan to the Water Palace.

Luo Yongyan looked at the figures of the two and was helpless, so she had to go back and discuss with Luo Qi. This is the Mirage Palace, she is a guest resident, and she can't tie Ming Qin back. Besides, he is right, this is a family matter, and once Mingqin and Tong Jiao reconcile in the future, she will become nosy.

Wu Sichen organized the palace maids to go to the city to treat the wounded soldiers, and also made a lot of efforts. After the war, these palace maids were dismissed from the palaces, Luo Xuanyin still lived in the Zhishui Palace, and the Mirage King held a banquet to entertain the leaders of the Golden Crow Sect tonight, so he should not come here.

Ming Qin was familiar with the path in the palace, and took Xiao Yilan straight to the Water Stopping Palace.

As soon as I walked into the palace, I suddenly heard the sound of conversation, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I saw the Mirage Dragon King and Wei Zhenyi sitting opposite each other in the pavilion, while Wu Sichen and Gu Pan stood aside.

The Mirage Dragon King sighed, "Brother Wei, we are also old friends. You haven't heard from you all these years, and my brother didn't dare to treat Xuanyin and Hui'er badly. You just go in and talk to Xuanyin, don't have any worries. ”

The Mirage Dragon King's move was also to test whether Lou Cheng and Luo Xuanyin were forgetful.

"Si Chen, you lead Mr. Wei over. ”

"Yes, Mr. Wei, please come with me. ”

Wu Sichen smiled gently, she and Wei Zhenyi danced together in the hall, and found that Wei Zhenyi had an excellent demeanor, he was a humble gentleman, and he was by no means comparable to the Mirage Dragon King, no wonder Luo Xuanyin fell in love with him.

"Thank you for your trust. ”

Wei Zhenyi hesitated for a moment, but still decided to meet Luo Xuanyin.

"Brother Wei, don't worry. ”

The Mirage Dragon King teased, "I will keep this matter a secret from Luo Ling's envoy." ”

Ming Qin saw Wu Sichen leading Wei Zhenyi into the side hall from a distance. The Mirage Dragon King looked at Wei Zhenyi's figure with a gloomy face, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

Gu Pan picked up the wine jug and filled it for him, and said cautiously: "The Dragon King asked Wei Zhenyi to meet his wife, I don't know what purpose?"

"Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't. ”

The Mirage Dragon King snorted coldly, and Gu Pan's face turned pale with fright, and he was as silent as a cicada.

The Mirage Dragon King glanced at her coldly, pinched Gu Pan's face and said, "Xuanyin lives here with you, you have to take good care of her." Whether it is Wei Zhenyi or someone else, what he said or did, he must report it to me. ”

Gu Panqiang smiled: "Don't worry, Dragon King. I'll set up dragon balls in her room and watch her every move. ”

"I still have something to do, I'll be at your mercy another day. ”

The Mirage Dragon King patted Gu Pan's face and walked away.

"Congratulations to the Dragon King. ”

Gu Pan's head drooped slightly, and he didn't raise his pretty face until the Mirage Dragon King walked away, and his eyes showed a hint of coldness.

"Mrs. Gu. ”

Ming Qin waited for the Mirage Dragon King to come out of the Zhishui Palace before he appeared.

Gu Pan was startled when he heard this, and saw that it was Ming Qin who quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Hai Shao, why are you here?"

"I've found someone to wait for you. Her name is Xiaolan, she is my sister, help me take care of it. ”

Ming Qin knew that Gu Pan's status was quite high, and he was favored by the Mirage Dragon King. It's easy to give Xiao Yilan an identity.

"Your sister?"

Gu Pan glanced at Xiao Yilan, and saw that she had a straight waist, a slim back, picturesque eyebrows, and a bit of bookishness, not under Luo Qi and Wu Sichen.

"Then how dare I let her come and wait, let her serve Madame. ”

Gu Pan is smart and clever, what kind of person she is, how could the sea storm send someone to wait for her, this is obviously sent to take care of Luo Xuanyin, if she can't understand it, it is impossible for her to stay by the side of the Mirage Dragon King for many years, and she will not be favored.

"You can arrange it. Sister, you can stay in peace, tell Mrs. Gu if you have anything, and she will help you. ”

Gu Pan was present, Ming Qin was not too close to Xiao Yilan, the main thing was to let Xiao Yilan feel at ease, don't act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Are you leaving?"

Xiao Yilan was afraid that Ming Qin would leave her alone, and her eyes were full of resentment.

"I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”

Mingqin can't stay too long, and when Wei Zhenyi comes out for a while, it's not good to be blocked.

Xiao Yilan put her mind at ease, pouted and said, "You must come." ”

Mingqin smiled and nodded, turning to leave. Gu Pan called him and said, "Hai Shao, I have a few words I want to tell you, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"

"What?"

Ming Qin was stunned for a moment, and his face was puzzled.

Gu Pan glanced at Xiao Wanlan, and seeing that she had no intention of evading, he sighed: "You also know that I have had a relationship with Ling Zun. I am also responsible for his death. ”
