Xu You Rong's blood and qi were all used up. She was very weak. She couldn't even walk, let alone fight. Therefore, her "Do you want to die" didn't have that arrogant, noble, and domineering feeling. Of course, in Chen Chang Sheng's eyes, this ridiculousness was more like cuteness.
He smiled and said, "If you weren't sick, why would you have such an absurd idea?"
Xu You Rong tried to control her emotions and said, "How is this idea absurd?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "I said before, there is no perfect person in this world. If you can't be perfect, if you are a little worse than others, you should feel ashamed. Isn't this absurd? The Pope's potted plants aren't as good as the gardeners in the Herb Garden, so he should feel ashamed? The Divine Queen's needlework isn't as good as the needlework of the workers in Wen Shui City, so she should feel ashamed? "
Xu You Rong slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm talking about an attitude towards life. Only by living with this attitude can you become more perfect."
Chen Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that this attitude isn't desirable, but have you ever thought that if it's attitude that matters, then as long as we keep working hard, until the last moment of our lives, we can't say that we don't have the possibility of being perfect. Since the winner hasn't been decided, why should we feel ashamed?"
"As for feeling inferior, that's even more impossible." He took out a freshly cooked root from the fire and gave it to her. He exchanged the slightly cold root from her hand and continued, "If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. Even if you can't do it in the future, so what? Working hard should come from the heart and not from the psychological gap caused by comparing with others. As long as you really work hard, then it's enough. "
Xu You Rong was silent. No one knew what she was thinking.
Chen Chang Sheng said again, "I think you should think clearly. Other people's hopes for us aren't important. What we want to do is truly important. Shouldn't people live for themselves? "
Xu You Rong raised her head and looked at him.
Chen Chang Sheng understood her meaning and said, "Of course we have to take responsibility, but we should still live for ourselves. Moreover, the latter should be above the former."
Xu You Rong thought about it and said, "I don't understand."
Chen Chang Sheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm just saying."
After this conversation, he realized that the girl was like a hedgehog in the forest, always on guard against something. It was easy for her to hurt the flowers and plants around her and the kind hands that carried kindness, but it was also easy for her to hurt herself. Perhaps it was because of this that she was so sensitive and delicate under her calm, indifferent, and powerful appearance.
When he mentioned perfection earlier, he was just playing along with her words. In reality, he had never thought about it. He felt that her way of thinking was very strange, which was why he thought that she was sick. Which ordinary person would set perfection as their goal in life? Once they realized that they couldn't achieve absolute perfection, they would start to self-doubt and belittle themselves?
"What you said sounds reasonable, and it might make life a little easier, but if …"
Xu Yourong hesitated for a moment and asked, "The education I received since I was young makes me unable to accept your point of view. Then how should I face this kind of pressure?"
Chen Chang Sheng pointed at the root in her hand and said, "Eat it while it's hot. Let's just chat."
Xu Yourong followed his words and tore open the slightly burnt skin of the root. Along with a stream of hot steam, a light fragrance also floated out.
Chen Chang Sheng said, "First, we need to know what we want to do the most and what is the goal of life."
Seeing her expression, he quickly said, "Don't say the word 'perfection' anymore. Perfection is used to describe the degree, not the specific reality."
Xu Yourong thought about it and said, "The thing I want to do the most is cultivate."
"Then cultivate." He said.
Xu Yourong was a little unhappy, thinking that he was just fooling around.
Chen Chang Sheng explained, "Except for cultivating, you don't need to think about anything else."
Xu Yourong said, "But those things still exist."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "When I close my eyes, the sky is dark. If I don't look at the world, the world doesn't exist."
Xu Yourong said, "How can you convince yourself with idealistic words? Also, cultivating is only a method, not the goal."
Chen Chang Sheng looked at her and recalled everything he saw and heard on the way here. He said, "If I'm not wrong, your goal of cultivating should be … to become stronger?"
Xu Yourong said, "Only when I'm strong enough can I bear the responsibility that I should bear."
Chen Chang Sheng said helplessly, "Can we first forget about the word 'responsibility'?"
Xu Yourong said seriously, "I don't dare to forget about it."
Chen Chang Sheng thought about it seriously and said, "Then I suggest that before you become the strongest person, temporarily forget about this goal and put all of your energy into cultivating the Dao."
Xu Yourong said, "Without a goal, how can I walk steadily?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "That means your goal isn't firm enough and can't be shaken. If the goal has already entered into your consciousness and blood, why do you need to constantly remind yourself?"
Xu Yourong thought about it and said, "That makes sense … then what's your goal of cultivating? Have you already forgotten? "
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Chen Chang Sheng was quiet for a while and said, "What I want is immortality."
He cultivated to follow his heart and sought the Way of Immortality.
"What's the benefit of doing this?" Xu Yourong asked.
Chen Chang Sheng understood that she was asking about the benefit of having one's heart and forgetting one's thoughts, not the benefit of seeking the Way of Immortality.
Regarding this method, only he could understand the benefit of it the best in this world – because the goal he wanted to pursue was itself a great pressure – the shadow of death had always shrouded the end of his path of xiu xing, waiting for him and getting closer and closer. If he didn't learn to forget this, he probably would have already become crazy under this terrifying pressure.
Why did he always cultivate to follow his heart from the old temple in Xi Ning Village? Because if his heart didn't follow his heart, he wouldn't be able to live normally. How could his heart follow his heart under this terrifying pressure? He could only forget but remember his initial thought and live like that. Only by doing so could he be peaceful and happy.
His voice kept ringing. It was very calm and the speed of his speech was not fast, but the meaning was very clear. No matter how violent the snowstorm outside the temple was, it couldn't suppress it.
The door of the ruined temple was broken long ago. Cold wind mixed with snowflakes floated in. Most of it was blocked by the bonfire, but some fell on his face, just like the firelight fell on his face.
The cold wind and the warm firelight blended together and became a cool breeze.
Xu Yourong listened very seriously. Looking at his face, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
This young man seemed to have seen everything in the world, but he didn't look old and heavy. He was still full of energy, just like a cool breeze, making people feel very comfortable.

(I don't know how to write this chapter. For a normal person like me to write about the conversation between geniuses, it's pure nonsense. So I didn't write the details later. Anyway, they were discussing Dao and preparing to have a heart to heart talk. After this chapter, the next chapter will still be released after seven o 'clock. I will try to update it regularly. Yes, I have a draft, although it's only one chapter.)
