Back then, Pat was waiting for him to make a decision. Today, he is waiting for Pat's current teacher to make a decision. The development of worldly affairs is truly amazing.
Weilin did not feel the irony, but was filled with regret and helplessness in his heart - who would be willing to give up a disciple that he admired and liked unless he had no choice? To take a step back, even if that disciple is not something he values, as a cultivator,
Doesn’t it sound good to give up the name of one’s disciple?
It's just that the matter has passed, and it has been so many years, and it will be in vain to say anything else.
Moreover, he is already half dead, so what is there to fear? Before, if Pat's father hadn't begged him so hard, he would rather die than step into this place.
Seeing the old man whose whole body and mind were obviously in decline and vicissitudes, from the perspective of a fellow cultivator, Fang Tian sighed slightly in his heart. He did not have any embarrassment, but rather gently explained the situation of the mosquito coils to the person opposite.
He explained it in detail, and then asked if he would be willing to manage it on his behalf and arrange for the long-term planting of raw materials for mosquito repellent incense in Sanhe Town.
The several plants needed to produce mosquito coils are currently under the responsibility of the temple, but this is only a temporary solution, not a long-term solution. Moreover, in the final analysis, in Fang Tian's plan, mosquito coils are just a small thing after all, and are really unnecessary.
Taking up the temple because of it is actually quite a high-end human resource.
Then, it is inevitable to find a place within the jurisdiction of Yanhuang City to be responsible for this matter.
Within the jurisdiction of Yanhuang City, there are three cities and twenty-eight towns. The three cities can be excluded as they will be responsible for more important affairs in the future. There are several other towns that already have special production or can develop special production. They can also be excluded, but they are still left.
About twenty towns.
"Mosquito Repellent Town" can be any one of these towns.
And since it is arbitrary, Fang Tian is of course arbitrary and does not need to consider any other factors. Whichever he says is the one. - In this case, when thinking of Weilin and the town of Sanhe where he is, then it is it.
.
For Weilin, after hearing Fang Tian's words, his first reaction was that he heard wrongly, and then he felt unbelievable. But after raising his head and looking at the other party steadily for a while, under Fang Tian's gaze again,
The old magician had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like. He bowed deeply and said, "Weilin accepts the order. Thank you, sir."
Fang Tian nodded slightly.
Watching the other party's slightly staggering figure leaving, Fang Tian sighed again.
The other party's steps are not shaky, but appear to be very steady, but in Fang Tian's eyes, well, it's not just a simple look, but a more comprehensive judgment. The other party's "life status" is already a step forward.
Staggering.
This old man will be at the seventh level in his entire life and will never be able to go up to level 7 again.
Moreover, as he ages, his various "indexes" belonging to cultivators are also in the process of slow but irreversible decline.
Not only this physical and mental state, but also Weilin's emotional feelings just now, he had a relatively intuitive and profound experience. He didn't know whether this inexplicable realm brought him or whether he was normal.
The current level of cultivator brought it to him.
But it seems that the two are actually almost the same thing?
And precisely because he understood the other person's feelings, Fang Tian also sighed in his heart.
To be honest, Fang Tian has no ill feelings towards this old magician. Of course, he can't say he has a good impression. Fang Tian just thinks that this person is not a bad person.——
Not a bad person.
This is enough. For the rest, I can only lament the impermanence and perversity of fate.
For what happened that year, Pat paid a heavy price. The price was obvious and direct. If he hadn't met him later, it's not difficult to imagine how Pat's life would have ended. But this magician who drove his beloved disciple out of the house
, and it’s not without paying a price.
It's just that the price is more hidden.
If you shrink back under force and then make an irreversible choice, you will be subject to all kinds of material criticism and silent accusations from the circle. On the other hand, after making this choice, your heart and mind will be different in the days to come.
How to reach it smoothly?
Therefore, the price for him is this life. Since that incident, he has not made any progress in the practice of magic. Then, he is an old magician who has been stifled of the possibility of progress. He feels bitter, helpless and impossible in his heart.
Regrets and suffering through the years.
And who is to blame for this whole thing?
Blame Morrissey as the source of what happened?
Is it to blame Pat for insisting on brotherhood and then not knowing where the sky is the limit?
The monster is not a bad person but just an old magician who follows the rules of society and makes the "right" choice?
The powerful person behind the blame who only wants to show off his power?
Among these four, except for the last one, which is still open to question, Fang Tianzhen really doesn’t think the other three are at fault for the other three, especially the third one. Don’t hold everyone to high moral standards.
At this point, Confucius did very well.
Although China has always been fond of killing people with morality in previous generations, and many people in later generations attributed this behavior to Confucianism, and finally directly blamed it on Confucius, anyone who has really read the Analects has only roughly read the Analects of Confucius.
, will all come to the conclusion: Confucius is really pragmatic.
According to Fang Tian's current view, Confucius's core thought is just one sentence, that is - acknowledge reality, base yourself on reality, and then on this basis, wish for yourself and others, and make progress every day.
"Acknowledge reality and base yourself on reality" is an extremely important point. Anyone who does not understand this point will run counter to the core of Confucius.
"Acknowledge the reality" and you will not cover up your vulgarity.
That’s why Confucius said, “When three people are walking together, they must have me as their teacher.”
The world cannot be the same for everyone, and if it is not the same, it means there are differences, and this difference, in the eyes of Confucius, is where we can learn, "Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."
Whether it is good or bad, you can see yourself through it and improve yourself.
Therefore Confucius said, "I am a young man who is humble, so I can do many despicable things."
When I was young, I came from a lower-class background and had a humble family. I had to work hard to make a living, so there were many deacons who worked hard. Not to mention the era when the hierarchy was more strict, but also in the later generations thousands of years later. How many people,
Can you say something like this calmly?
If you "base yourself on reality", you won't have too high demands on yourself and others.
Just like the case of Duanmu's gift to save people and Zigong's rescue of people, Zigong received reward for saving people, but Duanmu saved people for free. Confucius praised the former but not the latter because the latter was not unworthy of praise, but
The vast majority of people in the world cannot do this.
Take things that "most people can't do" and use them as a benchmark. Over time, this benchmark will turn a blind eye to everyone and be completely abolished.
Take Mencius, known as the "Senior Sage", as an example.
Mencius said, "The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important."
These words will really encourage many "people". Why? The most "expensive" one!
But isn’t it realistic?
If it is true that "the king is a despise", then who's head will be kicked by a donkey? If you are a good noble citizen, you will be a despised king? The essence of this sentence is almost to say that the more you climb up, the higher the level.
The higher you are, the more humble you are.
This fundamentally denies the meaning of everyone's struggle and efforts.
Therefore, even if it is "the people", only the people at the bottom who have no way to retreat will preach it. And those with a little bit of status and status who can move forward will only
Ignore this sentence.
In fact, even the "people" at the lowest level themselves, even if they are preaching this word, deep down in their hearts, it is impossible for them to agree with it.
Because essentially, this statement is wrong.
It is not based on reality.
The existence of these words is meaningful, and its significance lies in the fact that it puts forward such a shocking idea, which is a stimulant for all oppressed people, but stimulants can be used occasionally to boost the spirit.
If the effect is used for a long time, the person will definitely become useless.
Real life must eventually return to the track of "based on reality".
Only by being based on reality can we move forward bit by bit in a down-to-earth and genuine way, both personally and as a society.
In a sense, anything that is not based on reality is a "stimulant" or "drug" that makes people immersed or indulged in a dreamlike "perfection" and thus regard reality as
dirt, and then they may be cynical about the world, feel disgusted, or have thoughts of escaping.
In this way, under the soap bubble-like "perfection", his own body and mind gradually moved toward fragmentation and destruction.
"Stay away from upside-down dreams."
Fang Tian suddenly remembered a sentence from the Buddhist scriptures of his previous life.
All sages are based on truth, rely on reality, and base themselves on the present moment.
The next moment, such a realization slowly flowed through Fang Tian's heart, and the next moment, tens of thousands of "suns" of different sizes in the sea of consciousness suddenly burned violently.
And this burning lasted for a long time. After the movement finally stopped, Fang Tian discovered that almost all the "suns" had shrunk in size and had completed more or less "shrinking". Among them, there were many "suns"
"The sun" disappeared directly.
The entire sea of consciousness, as well as those "suns", show an indescribable clarity or purity. To use an inappropriate description, it is like the sky after the rain, an indescribable freshness.
And the light spot in the center of the sea of consciousness is both bright and soft, emitting a gleaming light.
As soon as Fang Tian felt these, he couldn't help but immersed his whole body and mind in it. When he came back to his senses again, a night had passed and a new day had arrived.
The rain washes the sky and makes it blue, and the wind blows and the clouds float in the sky. Who can share this feeling with me through the ages?
Fang Tian slowly opened his eyes.
It was already mid-August, the rainy season was long gone, and there was no rain. However, Fang Tian felt a kind of purity after the rain washed between the sky and the earth. Even the air he breathed was so fresh.
Looking up, the sky is clear and blue, and the sun is gradually whitening in the east.
With a thought, he returned to the Seven Star Island in a more "teleport" way than the "teleport" when he entered the mage. In the small building, Fang Tian summoned Pat, and then detailed the arrangements for Weilin to him.
Said.
In fact, even if it is detailed, it is only a matter of a few sentences, something that Fang Tian cannot save even if he wants to.
Pat listened quietly.
Fang Tian just explained that there was actually nothing to discuss in this matter. After this, the matter was completely settled. Then, Fang Tian wanted to test Pat's recent practice progress.
In fact, Fang Tian could just "see" and there was no need to ask.
Pat reported all the details, but Fang Tian just listened quietly until the report was completed without expressing any opinions, and then motioned for him to leave.
After Pat left, Fang Tian was just thinking about what he was going to do today when he saw Garodos and other archmages who had been away together for a while returned together again and landed directly in front of his small building.
And following them, there was another car that landed with them...
Fang Tian looked intently, and the next moment, the dog's eyes went blind.
Damn, what did he see?
Car?
Off-road vehicle?
After all, it’s a car!
Damn it, could it be that they formed a group and traveled through time? Fang Tian complained in his heart, but he went down the small building, ignored the group of archmages, and went directly to the handmade car, looking at it carefully.
He ignored a group of great mages, but a group of great mages did not ignore him, but stared at him with red faces, as if they were eagerly looking forward to his opinion or to put it bluntly, praise?
Fang Tian just watched.
Look left, look right, go around in circles and watch from beginning to end, but don't express any opinions.
After a long while, all the archmages who should have been calmly staring at the sky for three hundred years without turning their heads couldn't help it. Garrodos took the lead and stepped in front of Fang Tian, pulling Fang Tian directly.
Tian's hands stopped him from turning around anymore and said: "Little friend, what do you think of this, 'car'?"
"Well," Fang Tian pondered, and after pondering, he didn't speak for a long time.
Sure enough, another great mage could no longer keep his temper, and also came over and said: "My friend, tell me, what is this 'car' like?"
"Did you build it?" Fang Tian asked.
This was actually nonsense, but no one was impatient, but another great mage came forward and said: "Yes, little friend, we old guys just fought it out together."
Although he said it was a "blunt fight", the pride in his tone and the eagerness to expect Fang Tian, the "most authoritative person" to express his stance, were simply beyond words. Fang Tian could no longer tease these people who had maxed out their hands-on ability.
The Archmage looked at it, but nodded slightly and said: "It looks good, let me drive it and take a look."
Garrodos let go, and then a group of archmages dispersed in a hurry to make room for Fang Tian.
Fang Tian took a picture of the car on the large plain outside, and then sat in it.
Sitting on the seat, in front of you is a large steering wheel, which is made of handmade solid wood. In fact, the entire car, including the wheels, is made of wood.
The switch is very obvious. On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a small movable wooden block exposed. It can be turned left or right. But now, the small wooden block stays on the left side.
Fang Tian stretched out his hand, and with a little force, the small piece of wood clicked and slid to the right.
Then the entire body of the car shook slightly, and then, silently but with extremely strong power, like a cheetah, it began to run wildly on the great plain.
