When Luo Han and Yu Xue entered the ancient monk's cave for the second time, Zhang Zhuxi was also lying lazily on the big bed in the luxury suite on the 8th floor of the same hotel. He was still wearing the same Nike sportswear, but there was no longer that on his feet.
A pair of sneakers not stained with any dust, but only a pair of pure cotton socks as white as snow.
He squinted at an ordinary disciple of the Celestial Master Sect who was standing respectfully in front of the bed: "You just said that Junior Sister Xu also failed?"
The ordinary disciple's head hung low, and his voice was full of flattery: "Yes, Senior Sister Xu only solved two questions, and also failed on the third question."
He didn't raise his head at this time, so he couldn't see that there was a half-satisfied, half-gloating smile at the corner of Zhang Zhuxi's mouth.
This day, the yin and yang eyes were unable to function, and her luck was obviously worse than before.
Very good, women just have to be gentle, especially the woman destined by Zhang Zhuxi. She should be gentle and well-behaved, instead of taking away the charm that should belong to him.
After all, he is not only the eldest grandson of the headmaster, but also the eldest brother of this generation.
"So how is she? A lot of words." Zhang Zhuxi asked again, but his voice was as calm and gentle as ever.
"Senior Sister Xu has a determined heart. Her eyes are red, but she did not shed tears. However, she said she will not come back for the time being. She will stay with Junior Sister Chu there and come back together tomorrow morning." Ordinary disciples did not dare to be loud because of Zhang Zhuxi's gentle voice.
Be brave and still convey it honestly.
"Well, Junior Sister Xu and Junior Sister Chu have always been on good terms, so it's normal to be worried. Let's not talk about them. Are you sure that Luo Han has opened a separate guest room? He also ordered room service?"
"Yes, I specifically checked the front desk. It was opened two hours ago. And an hour ago, the waiter who delivered the food also confirmed that there was a young man inside. He was the same person as the photo I gave him." No more discussion.
That ordinary disciple, the talented Senior Sister Xu, suddenly felt relieved and her tone was very affirmative.
"It's strange. Didn't Junior Sister Xu say that he is very arrogant? How can he be so honest? I can understand why he separated from Lai Dehua, but he didn't go out?" Zhang Zhuxi frowned and said to himself.
The ordinary disciple turned his eyes slightly and smiled apologetically: "Perhaps he feels a little stressed, so he wants to practice in seclusion." He secretly flattered Zhang Zhuxi in a clever way.
This answer was barely acceptable, and it also made Zhang Zhuxi, who was not convinced by Luo Han, feel quite comfortable, so Zhang Zhuxi pondered for a while and then waved his hand: "Okay, you go down and remember to ask a few more junior brothers to keep an eye on the lobby secretly.
Once you find him out, notify me immediately."
"Yes." Ordinary disciples, such as Meng Dashi, quickly retreated.
………………
As soon as Luo Han entered this simple cave, he walked directly to the third jade bottle containing the wind and thunder attribute binding whip, and reached out to touch the transparent forbidden aperture.
The first question quickly popped up: "With the attributes of wind and thunder, why is the wind in front and the thunder behind?"
Rohan's heart began to pound.
This question is much more difficult than the three questions he answered previously.
Everyone knows that thunder is actually the most violent and direct destructive force in nature. In the ancient legend of China, thunder is in charge of the punishment of heaven, the most upright and the most feared.
However, in some idioms, wind, an unstable element, is ranked before thunder. In other words, in the word wind and thunder, wind is the main element and thunder is the second.
Why?
Luo Han began to think about the word wind.
Wind is the attribute with the fastest release speed and attack speed. It is also the most unpredictable attribute. It can be soft or hard. When it is gentle, it is like a considerate and gentle lover, but when it is hard, it can be so violent that it can take away people in an instant.
life...
Wind is everywhere. As long as there is a difference in air pressure, wind will be generated and penetrate everywhere.
However, these do not seem to be enough to explain why the wind is in front and the thunder is behind.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Why does the word "wind and thunder" mean that the wind is in front and the thunder is behind?"
Yuxue on the side was startled, and then smiled: "Brother Han, this is not simple, because the wind is always running in front, and Lei is always chasing behind. Besides, if the pressure between the air hadn't lost balance, resulting in
If the wind blows, even if thunder is produced, it cannot cause damage to other objects. Wind is the carrier of thunder."
"Ah?" Luohan was suddenly startled - is that so?
However, what Yu Xue said makes sense and explains the essence. For example, like water, if the forces on both sides of a river are balanced, then the water will not flow.
Thinking of this, he decided to take a risk and wrote down what Yuxue said: "Because the wind always runs in front, and thunder always chases behind. Wind is the carrier of thunder. Without wind, thunder can only wait passively."
Things are brought to your door to destroy, you cannot take the initiative to destroy things."
After he finished writing, he saw the screen in front of him start to ripple with water, and his heart quickly rose.
However, it seems that although his answer is not the standard answer of the ancient monks, it is also the closest answer. Therefore, this wave of water ripples takes a few breaths longer than when he took the earth attribute breastplate before.
, but in the end, the coercive force he was worried about did not appear. Instead, a second problem emerged.
Luo Han couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his luck was really good. Without Yu Xue's help, he might have been stuck at this level.
But after seeing the second question clearly, Luo Han frowned again: "Yiyi means righteousness to friends; filial piety means filial piety to parents and elders; when righteousness and filial piety conflict, between righteousness and filial piety, you
Which one to choose?”
Luo Han was very suspicious whether the sitting ancient monk in front of him had troubles in this area during his lifetime.
What I heard most before was that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides, but there seem to be few instances of conflict between righteousness and filial piety.
Speaking of it, loyalty and filial piety are actually the essence of Confucianism. Confucianism provides filial piety. Especially in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was respected exclusively and the world was governed by filial piety. After the death of every emperor, the word "filial piety" was added to his posthumous title. For example, Emperor Xiaowen, "Xiao"
Emperor Wu, etc. However, even Confucius believed that when the father ordered the son to die, but the son did not die, the son was unfilial, he believed that this was foolish filial piety, not true filial piety.
Because when the father loses his mind, he beats his son with a big stick. If he is killed, injured or disabled, he will feel very regretful after he calms down, leaving a heavy shadow on his soul that he can never get rid of. This is
'Not escaping' caused mental trauma to his father, so this is foolish filial piety.
Although this is a monk's cave, the principles of the world are actually the same.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Han decided to write according to his own heart.
After organizing the language in his brain, he wrote his answer on the screen with his fingertips: "People have seven emotions and six desires. There are times when they are calm and there are times when they are impulsive. No one is always right, even if
They are all great saints. They all made mistakes or made wrong judgments when they were emotionally excited. However, most of them would realize their mistakes afterwards and correct them. If it is logical to say that they are friends.
If your behavior is correct, but the opinion of the elders in the family is wrong, you should choose righteousness. On the contrary, choose filial piety. However, before making a choice, if time permits, you should try to explain the truth to your friends and elders in the family as much as possible. Even if time does not allow, you should do it afterwards.
Find a way to explain the reasons to both parties. A true friend will definitely understand you, and a truly reasonable elder will forgive you. If a friend or elder not only does not accept your advice, but is jealous, then you don’t want such a friend, and such an elder
, you can also ignore it.”….
After writing so much in one breath, he thought he had fully explained what he meant, so he took back his fingers.
This time, the waiting time was actually twice as long as the last time.
But precisely because of the long waiting time, Luo Han became more and more calm. If his answer was not in line with the monk's wishes, he might have been kicked out long ago.
After more than five minutes, the third question appeared on the screen: "If a strong man wants to forcibly exchange your wife and children with the way to immortality, how do you choose?"
In fact, this question has basically the same meaning as the third question that Luo Han answered when he obtained the earth attribute breastplate: "Life or dignity, which one do you choose?"
But Rohan couldn't copy his previous answer.
He felt quite pitiful for this ancient monk who had passed away. The previous question was about the righteousness of friends and the filial piety of elders. This question was about personal life and death and the relationship between wife and children. They were all difficult to separate and not contradictory in themselves.
But obviously, either the ancient monk encountered it himself, or the relatives and friends of the ancient monk encountered it, otherwise, it would not have had such an impact on his heart, and he would even use it as a way to break through.
level.
But sympathy was sympathy, and he still had to answer seriously.
After thinking for a while, he slowly wrote: "A man should stand upright and move forward without hesitation. He should protect the elderly at the top and the young at the bottom. There is no reason to sacrifice his wife and children and live in an ignoble way. This is a matter of principle. Even if it is an external force.
Even if you are forced to do so, you should do your best to deal with it, mobilize all the forces you can mobilize, and think of every conceivable method. Even if you risk your life because of it, you must protect your wife and children. Although the way to immortality is tempting, people have no dignity and are in vain.
. Even if he really failed because of the disparity in strength, at least he had tried hard, and his wife and children would know the true love that he had tried so hard to maintain. Under the nine springs, he felt calm in his heart. Even if he continues his fate in this life in the next life, it would be a tragic and heroic thing.
Happiness without regrets. With sincerity, gold and stone are opened. Although the way of heaven is ruthless, there is always a glimmer of hope."
Although the answer was half-written, he at least expressed his meaning completely.
After finishing writing, he stared closely at the changes on the screen, waiting for the outcome of the verdict.
