Although this office building only has 8 floors in total, it is far away from the city center and the surrounding buildings are relatively short, so the height of this office building is considered unique here.
When the two came to the rooftop, they saw that the rooftop was empty and quiet, with only the afternoon breeze blowing, making them feel extremely cool.
Chen Feiyu and Concubine Yuan Li walked to the edge of the roof and looked outside. They saw a sweeping view of the surrounding scenery, and their hearts suddenly felt relieved.
There were no railings on the roof of the building. Concubine Yuanli stood on the edge with both feet. If she took another step forward, she would be dozens of meters in the air.
But she didn't care about her own safety. She opened her arms as if to embrace the refreshing air here. She closed her eyes slightly, showed a smile of enjoyment, and said with a smile: "Only when I stand on the empty roof, can I feel that I am here?"
This moment is free."
Chen Feiyu stood next to Concubine Yuan Li. Although he had his hands in his pockets, he was confident enough to ensure Concubine Yuan Li's safety. He asked with a curious smile: "So, you don't feel free at ordinary times?"
"Yes!" Concubine Yuan Li answered decisively, without any hesitation. She still closed her eyes, shook her head slightly at first, and then emphasized again: "Not free at all."
Chen Feiyu nodded and did not speak. He knew that he only needed to be a good listener now.
Sure enough, Concubine Yuanli closed her eyes and continued: "Actually, I also know very well that I already have outstanding looks, outstanding abilities, huge wealth, and a resounding reputation. I am a successful person that countless people envy and yearn for.
What I have, most people in this world will never get it in their lifetime.
But many times, I envy ordinary people. At least, they can live a plain life, laugh and curse carefree, and they are not like me, who are obviously burdened with so many worries and burdens.
I'm almost out of breath, but I still have to smile every day and tell myself that I must endure it, hey, Feiyu, do you think I'm greedy?"
After Concubine Yuan Li finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, opened her eyes and looked at Chen Feiyu.
"No." Chen Feiyu shook his head, pondered slightly, and said: "In life, everyone has the right to pursue freedom, but no one is allowed to be free, because the world is a big cage that binds everyone inside.
, and birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-term resentment, not being able to ask for something, not being able to let go are the punishments given to people by heaven and earth.
No matter who you are, no matter what your social status, and how much power and wealth you control, as long as you are born between heaven and earth, you will have to endure the eight sufferings of this world. And as big as the world is, the size of this cage will be, so except for a very few
Except for human beings, the vast majority of people in the world have no way of escaping, so the Tao Te Ching says that 'the sky's net is vast, sparse and not leaking'."
"Oh?" Concubine Yuanli became interested and said, "Listening to the hidden meaning in your words, is there anyone in this world who can escape the eight hardships in life?"
"Yes." Chen Feiyu said without the slightest hesitation: "As the Taoist "Huangdi Yinfu Jing" says, 'The living is the root of death; the dead is the root of life.' Life and death can transform into each other, and heaven and earth can transform each other.
Although it is a huge net that binds everyone in it, heaven and earth also invisibly tell people how to escape from the shackles of heaven and earth. Therefore, Taoism also says, "The way to observe the sky and the way to hold on to the sky have been completed."
The sky does not speak, but there are heavy rains and thunder; the earth does not speak, but mountains and rivers collapse. If you want to break free from the prison of heaven and earth and gain unfettered freedom, you can only accept yin and yang within yourself, become one and transcend, and become as powerful as heaven and earth.
, this is the 'unity of man and nature' that the ancients have been striving for, and only by reaching the state of 'unity of man and nature' can we have the opportunity to further transcend ourselves, then transcend heaven and earth, and achieve true freedom and ease."
Chen Feiyu follows the Taoist route, so he can naturally talk eloquently about Taoist theories, and what he practices, whether it is "Xianwu Hezong Jue" or "Hunyuan Sword Classic", these two peerless techniques tell him that as long as he continues to practice
If you keep going, sooner or later you will be able to reach the realm he mentioned, or even a higher achievement.
Concubine Yuan Li was surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Feiyu had such a big mind and his eyes were boundless. No wonder he could achieve such high achievements at such a young age.
In the eyes of Concubine Yuanli with surprise and admiration, Chen Feiyu stretched out his right hand and slowly made a fist, and said confidently: "The universe cares about the hand, and everything comes from the body. I, Chen Feiyu, am the person who is confident that I can transcend the world and tear apart the net.
People who are like this will also no longer be bound by heaven and earth."
Concubine Yuanli's eyes were filled with sparkles. Regardless of whether what Chen Feiyu said was true or false, at least at this moment, she could feel Chen Feiyu's strong and firm belief.
As a woman, who doesn’t admire the truly strong? Concubine Yuanli is naturally not immune to this.
Chen Feiyu suddenly looked into Concubine Yuan Li's eyes and said seriously: "You can tell me what you are hiding in your heart, but I want to see what is it that can make the beautiful Concubine Li so worried.
.
Believe me, not even heaven and earth can restrain me, Chen Feiyu, let alone what is pressing on you is just a trouble in the world. I, Chen Feiyu, can cut it off with one sword from the sky and let you get the freedom you want."
After Chen Feiyu finished speaking, with a warm smile on his lips, he extended his hand to Concubine Yuanli.
Concubine Yuanli was shocked. She felt that Chen Feiyu's smile at this moment was very bright and sunny. Not only did she feel at ease in her heart, but she also felt intoxicated. Unconsciously, she gently put her jade hand on it.
He took Chen Feiyu's hand, his pretty face turned slightly rosy, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Feiyu."
Chen Feiyu smiled brightly and gently squeezed Concubine Yuanli's hand. She felt that it was soft and boneless, and it was very comfortable to hold it in her hand.
A man and a woman were holding hands tightly on the edge of the rooftop, like a couple of gods and goddesses.
Concubine Yuanli's pretty face turned even redder, and a sweet and ambiguous atmosphere arose in Concubine Yuanli's heart.
She did not take her hand out, but let Chen Feiyu hold it. The warmth from Chen Feiyu's hand gave her a rare feeling of peace of mind.
Concubine Yuan Li looked forward again, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, my original surname was Ming, and my name is also Concubine Ming Li."
"Concubine Mingli?" Chen Feiyu repeated in a low voice and said with a smile: "This name is also very nice, but I like your current name better."
Concubine Yuan Li gave Chen Feiyu a shy and happy look, and continued: "I am from Yanjing, and the Ming family is one of the most powerful families in Yanjing. As for my father..."
Suddenly, Concubine Yuan Li's eyes flashed with deep disgust and hatred, and she was obviously very disgusted with her father.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions in her heart, and then continued: "He is the second son of the Ming family, and my mother is from an ordinary background. She is a very beautiful woman with very traditional ideas. She relies on
With my talent and hard work, I was admitted to Yenching University and became the school belle of that year. I happened to be a classmate with my father.
My father was deeply attracted by my mother's beauty and talent. After a crazy pursuit, he finally got the beauty in his arms. The next year, my mother became pregnant with me. My father naturally took my mother to the Ming family, expressing his desire to
Marry my mother.
This was originally a happy event for my mother, but my father was a cowardly and incompetent person who did not dare to resist the family's opinions, because my mother was from an ordinary background, and the Ming family resolutely opposed their marriage for the sake of the family's interests.
Marriage, and in the winter when college was busy, my mother was kicked out of the Ming family."
Chen Feiyu listened silently, knowing that this must be a big trauma for Concubine Yuanli, so he held her hand tighter.
Feeling Chen Feiyu's careful movements, Concubine Yuan Li felt warm in her heart and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Later, although my mother was heartbroken, she still decided to give birth to me because she believed that the child was innocent and had no children."
Thinking that less than a month after she gave birth to me, my father went to find her and said that he would take due responsibility.
Under his sweet words and enthusiasm, my mother fell again. He took my mother to his apartment on the outskirts of Yanjing and kept her in a golden house. He would come to visit us every month and promised that he would find a way to bring my mother to justice.
I married into the Ming family. At least during that period, my childhood was happy and I was able to enjoy father's and mother's love, although this father's love was incomplete.
However, happy times never last long. In my memory, as I get older, my father visits us less and less, from a dozen times a month to seven or eight times a month.
Once, then once every three months or even once every six months, and finally never again.
Later, I accidentally heard that my father had already married another woman. Not only was that woman younger, but she was also one of the wealthy families in Yanjing, and she was a perfect match for the Ming family. My mother was deeply affected and changed from then on.
She was depressed and often locked herself in her room without eating or drinking. However, she still relied on her own efforts to support me through college.
I know it is not easy for my mother. When I found a well-paid job and prepared to be filial to my mother, she...she died in depression. I know that my mother was killed by the Ming family and that man.
So I changed my surname to the same surname as my mother, Yuan, to show my separation from the Ming family, and vowed to avenge my mother, so that the people of the Ming family would kneel in front of my mother’s grave and kowtow in repentance!”
Speaking of this, Concubine Yuanli's voice was slightly choked, and her eyes were filled with crystal tears. It was obvious that this incident was a big blow to her.
Chen Feiyu sighed silently, stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Concubine Yuanli's eyes, and said: "It is indeed a human tragedy that your son wants to support you but refuses to be loved. However, at least your mother has trained you to be the best woman in the world. I
I believe that her spirit in heaven will also feel gratified."
"Feiyu, thank you." Concubine Yuanli enjoyed Chen Feiyu's tenderness, and her eyes softened.
"You're welcome, I can lend you my shoulder if necessary." Chen Feiyu said half-jokingly.
