The original Manor Lord said, "From the beginning to the end, your hand is just a mass of air, never increasing or decreasing. The reason why there are gains and losses, sorrow and joy, is all caused by subjective thoughts. When you clench your fist, you think you have grasped something, but in fact you have nothing. But this process gives birth to obsession. Just like your Shifu, he used his own thoughts to give this obsession a form. He did not fall in love with Chu Anlin, but fell in love with the obsession he created himself. Since he did not get it, how could he lose it? It was only because he thought he had once gotten it and then lost it that he experienced the extreme change between the two emotions. However, if one were to look at it from a different perspective, Chu Anlin had never belonged to him. In fact, even this individual had never existed. Her life and death were all extremely ordinary changes in the natural world. It was just like how the air around him was constantly flowing at every moment. Yet, who would stop and look into it? The Hierarch of the Devil Cult was an external cause, but the real pain was caused by his obsession. The ancients have long said that the world is vast, and people are in the same place, no different from mayflies residing in the world. There is also a saying that goes, 'The Heaven and the Earth cannot be seen in an instant.' Everyone comes naked and leaves naked; they cannot bring anything with them, nor can they bring it with them. Life is short for several decades, the only one who can really accompany you is yourself. There is never any superficial gain or loss. If everyone can achieve a clear mind and few desires, then there will be no inner demons that can affect his state of mind. "
Li Yijie seemed to have formed some ideas in his mind, but because of this, he became even more confused. He hesitated and said, "In that case, what I see and hear right now is not real, but an illusion of my obsession? After a hundred years, there will be no more me in the world. All sounds, colors, and forms will be nothingness in the blink of an eye, never worth grasping? But … in life, if there is nothing to cherish, won't it be too boring? Since there is sorrow of loss, there must have been joy of gain before. Why can't we just focus on what is in our hands? Why must we cling to those things that 'can't be obtained' and 'have already been lost' and make ourselves miserable? "
The original Manor Lord said, "It's not asking you to completely abandon yourself. How you view your gains and losses depends on whether you can properly adjust your state of mind. Only by being able to not be affected by the changes in the outside world and not be pleased by external gains or sorrowful by personal gains would he be able to truly jump out of the vicious cycle of gain and loss, and he would be able to stand above the passage of time and attain the realm of immortality. However, if one really wanted to achieve this, it would be difficult for a mortal with flesh and blood to achieve. For example, you are grieving for your dead Master and Junior Martial Brother. That is precisely why you are troubled by your obsession. In other words, fear was born out of love. In the Dharma Sentence Sutra, there was a saying, 'Therefore, don't love, parting from love is bitter. If there is no love or hate, then there is no restraint. ' If they had never existed, or if you had never seen them, and today's events continued as usual, would you mourn the parting of life and death in some corner of the world? Even if he wanted to mourn, he had no place to start. In this world, there were countless people dying every day, but there were also countless people being born. It was just a kind of general reincarnation. Brother Meng has already died in this life. Only in the future will he be reborn. Sometimes, even if we love someone deeply, we can't keep them by our side forever. We should have been aware of this from the beginning. "
Nangong Xue said softly, "You are right. However, since we were born as humans, we should accept the current situation and at the same time cherish everything. Happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, resentment, and hatred are emotions that only humans can experience. Even if they can be felt by external objects, at least we have truly lived and are not one of the thousands of stones in this world. "
The original Manor Lord was startled. Li Yijie asked, "Original Manor Lord, forgive me for being rude. Since you know that this kind of path of gain and loss is in accordance with the laws of heaven, and that the power of mortals cannot be reversed, why didn't you tell my Master earlier that you wanted him to sink into a quagmire and exhaust all his energy until he was unable to extricate himself?"
The original Manor Lord said, "I only have a rough understanding of the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. I am still far from being proficient. Even if I understood, it would be difficult to enlighten others. Brother Meng's obsession is deep. He is immersed in the sorrow of losing An Lin. His only hope in this life is to work hard and one day defeat the Hierarch of the Demonic Cult. Then, he will be able to regain An Lin. To be honest, he is often complacent about the arrival of that day. However, he doesn't know that it is just a dream that he made up. However, all his happiness is entrusted to this. How can I tell him that for so many years, he has been bitterly clinging to something that doesn't exist? The most terrible thing in life is not failure, but losing one's goal. That is true despair. Once his belief is destroyed and his goal is turned into a void, I am afraid that he will immediately collapse. Sometimes, showing the identity of a prophet and seeing through everything at the same time is not necessarily a good thing for others. After all, in life, there is still a need to conceal some good intentions. "
Li Yijie said, "Shifu is not an unreasonable person. After you told me all this, even I, a blockhead, have some understanding. How can he not listen? Even if he is in pain for a while, it is human nature. After all, it is better to have a short pain than to have a long pain. It is better than letting him waste his whole life. "
The original Manor Lord said, "You still don't understand the complexity. As the saying goes, the person involved is baffled, the onlooker sees everything clearly. It is because you are not involved in the situation, you have no interest in it. This kind of logic is very simple in your eyes. That is why I can use these few simple examples to explain it clearly to you. But your Shifu is in the situation, it can be said that he has become one with the swamp. If you want to save him, you must first cut the bindings. But that will also injure him, how is it different from cutting the channels on his hands and feet? It is just like giving advice to others to play chess. Often you will think that the chess theory is just that. But when you really let go, you will feel that in all directions, everywhere is an ambush. You will really have no idea where to start. The theories that you have heard before are no longer useful. People can only put themselves in other people's shoes when facing their own interests. If you are not involved in the situation, you will never be able to thoroughly understand others. Moreover … Ha, what qualifications do I have to comfort him? Who doesn't know how to say a few words of truth? If you are really open-minded, then it is very difficult. On the surface, I say that success and failure are up to fate, the Dao is natural. But if I am really open-minded, I will not take my anger out on the world after accidentally killing Ah Yin. Even more so, I will not always think about her for more than ten years. No matter how beautiful other women are, they cannot enter my eyes. It is funny to say that I know that the dead cannot come back to life, but in my heart there is always hope. I hope that one day my vision will blur and I will see her standing in front of me again. Even if she does not come to see me, but only to see Yi 'er, that is also good … "
Li Yijie's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought about how he was also deeply entangled in the mire of obsession. In the past, he bitterly loved Shen Shiyun. It was precisely because he shaped all the kindness and beauty in the world into his obsession that he could not avoid falling in love with her. He did not have any desires, so he did not have any demands. It was only in the end that he finally recognized his true feelings.
And Jiang Liechen was able to manipulate him at will, play with his emotions in the palm of his hand, and trample on him at will. Wasn't it because he valued his master and all his junior brothers too much? Because of love, fear was born. He was well aware of his own weakness and had mentioned it more than once. His biggest weakness was that he was too soft-hearted and cared too much about the people around him.
But even so, he could not cultivate himself to be as cold and heartless as Jiang Liechen. In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to give up all of himself, did not hesitate to casually grab the people around him to use, and even sacrificed them. Therefore, he used Nangong Xue as his biggest bargaining chip, tormenting himself to the point of near mental collapse. In this way, it seemed that Jiang Liechen was indeed an expert in playing with one's inner demons.
The original Manor Lord saw that his expression finally showed some understanding. He said, "Do you understand now? Your master does not understand these things. I don't know what position you, his most beloved disciple, will take. "
Li Yijie felt as if his heart was bleeding, but he could no longer feel the pain. He softly said, "I understand now. It is just that the truth is too cruel. Master actually gave up everything for something that did not belong to him, or even something that never existed? That's right. If I were you, I would definitely not tell him this news. I would rather let him always have hope, even if it means deceiving himself. "
