Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 400 Being able to adapt without desire, this is the Tao!

"The emperor is a worldly success. Although he understands the concept of the great road, he cannot give up external things when he wants to explore the great road."

"The last 'knowledge' is that most pursuers in the world are obsessed with the good and bad of external things. Once they become obsessed, they will be swayed by desire and unintentionally deviate from the Tao."

"Just like a little girl, she is searching hard but has lost her way."

After listening to Xu Miaoyun's reading comprehension, Lin Che looked at him a few more times in surprise, with a little relief in her eyes:

"Yes, that's it."

“That sums it up very well.”

"Ruzi can be taught."

Xu Miaoyun blushed inexplicably for Lin Che's generous praise.

But he saw her lowering her head involuntarily, looking at her in embarrassment, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito:

"Sir, the praise is too great. This little girl is not worthy of it. It is better for you to guide me. Well, thank you very much, sir!"

Seeing the girl's red face, Lin Che couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. She didn't tease her anymore and said casually: "Good is good, bad is bad."

"Although you are mine now, you are expected to be accommodating to me."

"On the contrary, my requirements for you will only be stricter."

"Do you know what I mean?"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun didn't dare to be negligent in the face of a formidable enemy, and nodded obediently, not daring to bargain.

There was silence for a while.

"The rain in spring sprinkles on the earth, indicating that the years have entered the next cycle. However, at this time, Confucius always felt uneasy."

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"He realized that people were just passers-by in heaven and earth, so he went to the Taoist sage Lao Tzu and wanted to ask him about the mysteries of Tao."

"I told Confucius that you should first fast and purify your mind, abandon your intellect, forget your thoughts, and cleanse your spirit. I cannot tell you what Tao is like, but I will try my best to give you a general idea."

"The light of this world is born from darkness, and the form is born from the invisible. After having the form, the spirit is derived."

"From this came all the things in the world."

Xu Miaoyun took a deep breath, pursed her red lips tightly, and looked at her very seriously.

"What drives the evolution of this world is the empty Tao, but we can't tell the traces of the Tao, and we don't know where it runs from."

Lin Che stretched out, walked to the window, and sighed: "The sky would not be high without it, the earth would not be vast without it, the sun and the moon can only move based on it, and all things can prosper if they need it. .”

"The rules of the derivative world are probably the true form of Tao."

"People in the world always want to find a distinction between reality and fiction, pursuing material rights instead of spiritual pursuits. But in fact, the so-called truth is not necessarily reality."

"Classic texts are not necessarily true knowledge."

"The saint has long since abandoned the distinction between reality and fiction, and is looking for the truth of Tao in the chaos."

"Today you gain something and tomorrow you lose something. People in the world are always hesitant about gains and losses..."

"If you can reach the state where getting is not like getting, and losing is not like losing, then you will understand the concept of Tao."

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face tightened in confusion, and Lin Che slowed down her speech and whispered:

"We are born between heaven and earth and have a special form. We call this form 'human'."

"But he always has to return to his origin. In the final analysis, the gathering and separation of people are just accidental."

"Although some people live long lives and some live short lives, how big is the difference?"

"It's just a matter of seconds. Where is the need to distinguish between Tang Yao and Xia Jie?"

"Melon trees and fruits are different, but they follow the same law of long-term victory. Although people's society is more complex, with differences in appearance, wealth and poverty, the same law also exists." Lin Che was methodical. : "In this contradictory world, being able to reconcile and adapt, to put it bluntly, this is virtue."

"Being able to adapt without desire is the way!"

"By substituting generals, virtues and Tao into the rise and fall of dynasties, we can see the law of dynasty changes."

Hear this.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Lin Che with eyes full of disbelief.

However, she didn't wait to ask further questions.

Lin Che's magnetic voice interrupted her thoughts:

"In life, if there is a gap between heaven and earth, it is just a sudden, natural birth, natural death, whether it is life or death, it is just a natural change.

"People will always lament and sympathize with death, but in fact, all things are one, and death just breaks away from the constraints of nature and returns to its origin."

"Most of the arguments and noises among secular people come from the limitations of secular farming, and they care about poverty, wealth, good and evil."

Lin Che shook her head slightly.

"It's just not what the enlightened people care about."

"Because good and evil are subject to the limitations of the times, and there are individual differences. In more than ten years of life, as long as the rules change, good and bad will be reversed again."

"How can you be obsessed with the right and wrong of the moment?"

Xu Miaoyun opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak, as if she had caught some light in the chaos, but she couldn't describe it for a while.

After thinking for a moment, she sighed angrily:

"What Mr. Lin said is absolutely true."

"The realm of a little girl is still too low, and she should not try to figure out the way of a saint."

"It's really overestimating one's capabilities."

"It made you laugh."

Seeing her lonely, hurt, and mixed emotions, Lin Che's expression did not change. She did not try to answer her doubts, but continued to give guidance: "It doesn't matter!"

"Come on, let's go back to your original question. The road is among the ants. If you can't understand, the road is among the weeds in the rice fields, or among the tiles and bricks."

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it, and blurted out: "Huh?"

"Why are you getting lower and lower?"

Lin Che smiled and said:

"How about staying in the latrine you just visited?"

Xu Miaoyun: "???"

"This question of yours is already out of line!"

"There was once an official named 'Huo' who asked the butcher about the fatness of the pork. The butcher told him that by pressing the leg of the pig, the deeper you go down, the more you can understand the real situation."

"So, don't be obsessed with something, and don't think too grandly."

Lin Che left the bedside, opened the door to the room, and made a final conclusion: "The great road is everywhere, reaching every corner. It is like a great statement that can be fulfilled in any era."

"As usual, there is no boundary between the Tao of all things and the boundaries between all things. The differences that exist between all things are the differences that people think of."

"It's just a difference in performance!"

"It makes no real difference!"
