Chapter 3864 134. The best doctor heals the country (Mei Luo and Yu Hua have different opinions)

"Mei Luo, do you know that there are only four inner demons that trap people's minds? They are: unwilling to give up, unable to let go, unable to guess, and unable to afford to lose. Counting the past of your life, think about it, have you been entangled and troubled by these four inner demons?"

Yuhua's shocking words immediately stunned Mei Luo.

Mei Luo stared, his eyes gradually becoming deep, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, all of which corresponded to the so-called four demons that Yuhua had just mentioned. Coincidentally, all of them corresponded.

Yuhua looked at the change in the other person's expression, and had no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued.

"The chrysanthemum master Tao once said: I will not bend for five pecks of rice. Do you know what he went through at that time? In order to be an official, he studied poetry and books and participated in the imperial examination. Because of his extraordinary talent and courage, he successfully entered the palace selection and was valued by His Majesty. However, he served as a county magistrate in Pengze, Jiangxi for only more than 80 days, and then claimed that he was unwilling to "bend to the country children for five pecks of rice". Then he resigned and went home, ending his life of sometimes hiding and sometimes serving in the government, and ended his life in the countryside. He wrote the "Returning to the Garden and Fields" that has been passed down for thousands of years. His integrity is admirable. When he learned that what he wanted was completely opposite to the facts, he would never compromise his character. He would rather be a countryman than wrong his own heart. If he had not left the officialdom early, the masterpiece "The distant village is warm and the smoke is lingering in the village." would have been passed down to this day. He resolutely chose a quiet and pastoral life that was not in dispute with the world, which was a kind of insight into the troubles of the world."

Yuhua has changed his tactics at this moment. He no longer talks about those empty and grand theories. Instead, he begins to use specific examples to illustrate his point, thereby achieving the goal of directly touching Mei Luo's heart.

"What can I say about Mr. Tao? If he were in the officialdom, he would be a fool, a idiot who doesn't know the ways of the world!"

Mei Luo smiled helplessly and expressed his opinion on Mr. Tao.

"That's right. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has different positions and opinions. They have different viewpoints on different people and things. Don't you like Mr. Tao?"

"No! I admire him very much, but I think his approach is a bit too radical. He is obviously a man of talent. If he could restrain his edge and be more patient, he could achieve great things in the officialdom. But the result is..."

"What's the result? He is Mr. Tao, the only Mr. Tao in the world. He has his integrity and his pride. If he was like me and knew when to advance and retreat, he would not be the only Mr. Tao in the world. Because of his distinctive personality and cynical attitude towards the secular world, he has become a celebrity who will be passed down to the world forever. He lived a hard life, but he was upright. He respected nature, loved the people, and was unwilling to go along with the evil flow. Even if he lived a life of poverty, he just wanted to be himself. And what about us? Although we look decent now, if you think about it carefully, you will know... I'm afraid that your identity and mine will never be made public in this lifetime, and our future destination may only be drowned in the long sea of ​​people in history... What qualifications do we have to look down on a clear stream like Mr. Tao?"

After these words were spoken, Mei Luo, who had just shown a look of unwillingness to admit defeat, suddenly changed his expression and became like a wilted eggplant.

"Yeah...what qualifications do we have to look down on Mr. Tao? People of our status...are only fit to be a shadow...haha...that's ridiculous..."

Having said that, Mei Luo smiled bitterly, and a layer of gloom covered his heart.

At this point, Yuhua couldn't help but feel distressed. Perhaps it was because his language just now was too radical and really hurt the other person's fragile heart.

"Reluctance is the second level of the inner demon. Ordinary people are reluctant to give up the wonderful and imperfect years in the past, the vanity when they were in a high position, and the applause when they were proud. If you don't like Mr. Tao, then let's talk about another literati who was a little more smooth and knew how to handle himself in officialdom, Mr. Letian. When he was an official in the court, he was very talented in writing. He once expressed in his poems, 'There is a lot of vanity in the world, and a hundred years without a king is a day of joy.' It has something to do with people who are reluctant to give up vanity. They can never know themselves objectively. They lack self-knowledge and overestimate their strengths, and thus lose their true pursuits. On the contrary, a person who can put aside vanity, what pain can he have in his heart?" After these words came out, Mei Luo was speechless, because he knew that Yuhua did it on purpose. He knew what he was thinking in his heart, but he had to find examples of great men who could shut him up, so that he couldn't say a word.

"Are you angry?"

Seeing that Mei Luo didn't say anything, her face was full of dissatisfaction. Yuhua didn't want to tolerate it, so he just asked her about her face.

"I...can't be angry?"

"You're angry, which shows that you're not that dissatisfied with the current situation. Does it prove that you think your life is still right?"

"That's true. I think I can still survive like this. Sometimes I think that I can live without making trouble, so I just compromise."

Then you compromise once, compromise twice, and being violated again and again is a test of your bottom line, to see if you can compromise, to see if you can accept it, and the next violation will only get worse. "

Yuhua snorted coldly. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Mei Luo's answer.

"So what? You also said that the inner demon is coming and it troubles people. I am just a mortal. I can't achieve the same high level of cultivation as you and obey my heart in everything. Under the oppression of power, I was powerless and had no choice but to surrender."

"Really? Is that really the case? Or are you unable to let go of everything you have worked so hard to gain? You have already told yourself in your heart that you are a king, and you are placed so high up that you cannot afford to lose?"

"I... Indeed, it was not easy for me to get everything. I fought and killed my way through. I am covered with wounds. How can I let it go easily? Also, if I let it go easily, how would my mother live? We can't be so selfish. It's fine if we have no worries, but when we have weaknesses and people we want to protect, we can't help ourselves."

"Yes... You still have your mother to protect. Those people are holding your weak spot, making you unable to move..."

"If we really want to be peaceful and quiet in everything, and can let go of everything at will, then it would be too simple. However...how many people in this world can say that they are not affected by the secular world? If we can really be free of worries, then we must get married and become a monk, not caring about the secular world. Perhaps that is the real peace. As long as there are still people I truly love, I must think carefully about them..."

"them?"

At this point, Yuhua was stunned. He thought, besides his mother, is there anyone else in this world that Meiluo cares about?
