Chapter 468: There is no self for others

He has always been straightforward and decisive in doing things, rarely hesitating and entangled, and he himself hates unnecessary entanglement, because everything has pros and cons, and if you accept the pros, you must suffer the cons. After weighing the pros outweigh the cons, do it. If the cons outweigh the cons, do it.

Don't do it if you want to benefit, it's simple and clear, there is no need to hesitate or worry.

But there are always exceptions to everything. This matter cannot be weighed simply by the pros and cons. In order to send the general food back, he would not hesitate to kill an entire village of innocent people. It is understandable that he could not make up his mind for a moment.

He is not afraid of being scolded, because he was already scolded by civil servants when he was an official in the court. Being scolded is not necessarily because he did not do well, it may also be because he did too well and outcompeted others.

Or maybe you stand too high and others cannot understand what you do. Everyone in the world is like this. You scold those who are not recognized by you. You scold those who don’t understand you. You scold those who are better than you. If you don’t want to be scolded, the only way is to scold them.

One way is to be mediocre, but mediocrity also has its drawbacks, that is, it will be laughed at.

In life, you will either be scolded because you are better than others, or you will be laughed at because you are not as good as others. One of these two big scapegoats must be shouldered.

He is open-minded and transparent, and does not care about what the world thinks of him, but he cannot pass his own test. Those are living people. There must be at least a hundred people in a village, including old, weak, women and children. Kill them at will?

He kept his head down, not looking at Zhang Mo or Chen Liqiu. He didn't dare to look at Zhang Mo and Chen Liqiu, because both of them knew the situation they were facing. If they couldn't make up their minds, they looked at others. What do you mean, let others

Make decisions for yourself and let others take the blame for you?

Dilemma, to be precise, three dilemmas. No matter what decision you make, it will be wrong, and it will be a big mistake. If it is because you are soft-hearted and cannot bear to hurt innocent people, the military rations will not be delivered, which will eventually lead to Zhang Shan's 100,000-strong army.

If the entire army is wiped out, then he is the sinner of the ages, regardless of the severity of the crime, and the kindness of women.

If innocent people were sacrificed in order to transport the general's food back, that would be a cold-blooded and ruthless act that only cares about gains and losses. If he thinks about this in the future, he will definitely regret it and never let it go.

But it’s not okay to just sit there with a sullen expression. As a man, no matter what you do, you should do it neatly and neatly. You can’t act like a mother-in-law. He has been unable to come up with an idea or make up his mind. He is very worried that Zhang Mo will treat him because of this.

disappointment.

He originally wanted to buy himself time to think by going over to investigate the terrain in person, but the actual situation did not allow him to delay, because it was almost time, and there was only one hour left before dinner time, which was the time for his side to release the poison.

There was barely enough time for Chen Liqiu and Batulu to go out and buy medicinal herbs.

Zhang Mo and Chen Liqiu know each other very well and can make decisions quickly no matter what they encounter. This is the first time that they have frowned and thought painfully like today.

In the end, Chen Liqiu broke the deadlock, and he was not relieved. His words were quite sharp, "You want to be a fool, but you also want to build an archway?"

"Third Senior Brother, do you think what I did before seemed like I wanted to build a memorial arch?" He shook his head and said, "I don't care at all what the world thinks of me."

"Then why are you lingering?" Chen Liqiu said seriously, "I think you still care."

There are not many people in the world who are qualified to criticize, and Chen Liqiu is undoubtedly one of them. I do not feel disgusted with Chen Liqiu's criticism, but think about it seriously and reflect deeply.

After a brief pause, he stretched out his left hand and opened his palm. The talisman box mechanism was activated, and the talisman paper and talisman pen were activated at the same time.

pops up.

Picking up the talisman pen and writing quickly, wisteria, castor, white snake root, acacia, and white sheep peach are all highly poisonous herbs, and their medicinal properties are combined, and the toxicity will be even more severe when burned.

Although I wrote very quickly, my hand was shaking slightly while writing. After writing the name of the medicine and the required weight, I added two herbs, Uncaria and Acorus, behind the talisman paper.

These two flavors are not poison, but herbs that can cause fainting. This is the limit of what he can do, let them go peacefully.

Chen Liqiu took the medicine list and kept it close to his body, "We will definitely get back before dark."

After Chen Liqiu finished speaking, he spat out the dogtail grass he had been holding in his mouth, stood up and walked over to Batulu. The poisonous grass he needed weighed hundreds of kilograms, and was so bulky that he couldn't carry it himself.

After Chen Liqiu spoke to Batulu, Batulu ran over with half a bag of rice, put down his bag and whispered, "Don't touch those two boxes of firecrackers, wait until I come back to put them away."

"Okay." He tried to force out a smile.

Watching Batulu and Chen Liqiu take off to the east, he turned to look at Zhang Mo, "Are you disappointed in me?"

"No," Zhang Mo shook his head sternly, "This is your first time experiencing something like this, so hesitation is normal."

"Is my decision right?" He asked again. He knew that Zhang Mo was his woman now, but in his subconscious Zhang Mo was always his elder.

Zhang Mo did not answer the question directly, but said, "Actually, I can change the direction of the wind from the bottom of the wind, but if I do that, I will probably not be able to escape unscathed, so I won't do that."

Although Zhang Mo did not answer directly, her words already showed her attitude, which was the same as the choice she made.

Zhang Mo said again, "Zhuangzi said, "The best man has no self, gods and men have no merit, and saints have no name. What you do is to help the world and save people in need, but you don't care how the world evaluates you. You neither seek fame nor seek fame."

You have lived a long history, and you have achieved that saints have no name and gods have no achievements, but you have not yet achieved the perfection of others without self. You have a high level of understanding and should know what it means to have perfection with others without self."

"No self." He said.

"Yes, you haven't achieved selflessness yet, so although you don't care about external fame, you still care about inner feelings," Zhang Mo said, "Selflessness means the unity of heaven and man, the world is unkind, and treats all things as stupid dogs. Saints

Unkind, treating the common people as stupid dogs. We are the people playing chess for the world, not the chess pieces on the chess board. When playing chess, we should look down with cold eyes instead of getting deeply entangled and troubled. You have played very well, but no matter how good you are,

Even the best chess players can't win a game of chess without losing a single piece."

I know that Zhang Mo's words are not to comfort myself, but I still can't feel calm in my heart. This is indeed the truth, but as a human being, who can ignore their own feelings.

Seeing that his expression was still sad, Zhang Mo asked again, "Do you know why Tongchen lost?"

"I know, Fu Ren is undecided." He nodded.

"If they can prevent me from going to hell and whoever goes to hell, they won't lose," Zhang Mo said sternly, "Their mistake is that they can't pass the test in their own hearts. If they keep cutting off, they will suffer from the chaos."

"If I don't go to hell, who will?" He was in a daze.

"Take away the infamy and leave behind a peaceful and prosperous world," Zhang Mo held his hand, "Don't be afraid, the world doesn't understand you, I understand you..." He has always been straightforward and decisive in doing things, and hesitation and entanglement are rarely seen.

And he himself hates unnecessary entanglement, because everything has pros and cons. If you accept the pros, you must accept the cons. If the pros outweigh the cons, do it. If the cons outweigh the benefits, don't do it. It's simple and clear. There is no need to hesitate at all.

Hesitating, whining.
