Chapter 918 The doom I set for myself
"After listening to my story, I believe Fellow Daoist Bai already understands how to resolve the calamity of life and death?" Ouyang Fei asked Bai Zihua with a smile after finishing the story.

Bai Zihua nodded slowly, and said: "With some clues, fellow Taoist is right. The key to resolving the calamity of life and death lies in the word 'obsession'. Whether it is achieved or let go, it can resolve the calamity of life and death."

"If you let go of your obsession back then, there would naturally be no reason for you to love and kill each other between you and your esteemed wife, only to love each other. In this way, maybe one day, you will still be able to comprehend that 'Only when you are extremely affectionate can you be extremely powerful with swords. ', creating the 'Sentimental Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three'."

"And because of Daoist Qingxu's enlightenment, you have external help, but you have realized this state from another aspect, so you have achieved your obsession, and the kalpa of life and death has also been resolved. You are indeed very lucky."

Ouyang Fei looked concerned, and said: "Yes! I am indeed very lucky, so I owe Taoist Master Qingxu a big favor."

Mu Xi said in a soft voice: "My husband, you are lucky, and your lord is also very lucky! You have been enlightened by the Taoist Master Qingxu, and your lord has also received your guidance. Presumably, your lord has a good idea of ​​your own life and death. Bar?"

"I just don't know, what is His Majesty's obsession, is it possible to let go or achieve it?"

Bai Zihua was startled when he heard the words, and remained silent. He promised himself that he would have no obsessions, and he had persuaded others to let go of their obsessions countless times, but only now did he realize that his own obsession was actually the deepest, so deep that he knew It is an obsession, and I am willing to be obsessed with it.

Bai Zihua's obsession is different from what Ouyang Fei described. Ouyang Fei's obsession only involves himself, and it is relatively easy to let go or achieve it.

But what about Bai Zihua?His obsession is to live up to Changliu, the Six Realms, and the common people. He uses his own magic power to protect Changliu and the people of the world. This is not just an obsession, it is almost a "big ambition".

Bai Zihua is very confident, self-confident to the point of conceit, he always believes that his judgment and choice are right, he has his own set of logic, he always acts according to the rules he has set, regardless of others' opinions.

Among them, "unfeeling" is what he thinks is the most correct and supreme code of conduct, and he has indeed done it.

Living alone in the Palace of Unrequited Love, letting peach blossoms burn brightly, letting falling flowers and flowing water have all kinds of styles, letting snowy moons and silver light seduce people's thoughts, his heart is like an ancient well, without ripples.

This unfeeling made Shangxian Zixun heartbroken and bruised all over his body, and also caused Hua Qiangu to suffer and suffer.

He taught Hua Qiangu earnestly and earnestly, that the seven emotions and six desires are the most taboo in cultivating immortals. Many people are trapped by emotions and cannot improve their Taoism.

The coldness in the bones, the indifference between the brows, and the icy true energy exuding from the whole body make people dare not approach, right is right, wrong is wrong, there is no love or hate, only should and shouldn't.

Because of this, he did not hesitate to kill the former Immortal Lord who was forcibly controlled by others, the father of Dongfang Yuqing, which made Dongfang Yuqing hate him to the bone and wanted him to "make mistakes".

Bai Zihua has lost his love so far, so what kind of love is he desperate for?What he misses is not only the personal relationship between his sons and daughters, but also the simple human relationship that needs to be understood, the worldly situation of the mundane world.

People are not sages, they have hunger and cold, desires, and the most basic human emotions. He is an immortal. He is neither hungry nor cold, and does not want to eat. He does not have those daily experiences of daily life such as rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. Pass.

Taking a sip of peach blossom soup and eating with Xiao Gu was already a gift from the friendship between master and disciple. Bai Zihua had never thought about what ordinary people wanted.

He has never lowered his stature to listen to and feel the demands of ordinary people. He sticks to the inner standards of good and evil, right and wrong, good and bad, thinking that what he thinks is what other people think.

He renounces human desires, has never experienced human nature, has not personally experienced it, how can he judge himself and others, and understand human feelings?

Therefore, he often imposes his wishes on others in the name of righteousness and kindness. He believes that treating all people in the world equally is the greatest mercy and compassion.

The world is not benevolent, and he regards everything as a straw dog, and he regards himself as the way of heaven.

He thought that exiling Hua Qiangu, imprisoning Hua Qiangu, and avoiding Hua Qiangu's feelings were the greatest pity and love, but the result was that Hua Qiangu was bruised all over his body and heart again and again.

"You never asked me what I want? Do you think I will be happy if you do this?" Hua Qiangu's rhetorical question can be said to be straightforward, directly hitting Bai Zihua's heart.

Bai Zihua put himself in the dilemma of protecting the common people in the world and protecting Hua Qiangu, and he finally killed Hua Qiangu for the sake of the common people.

If his heartlessness is for the common people, then can a heartless person really protect the common people?Bai Zihua has cut off his own feelings, restrained his desires, and lives in a high place, where the heights are extremely cold, and the song is high and few.

All living beings have seven emotions and six desires. He doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, and doesn't care about the warmth and warmth of human relationships. Rather than saying that he is protecting the common people, it is better to say he is watching with cold eyes.

The reincarnation of the world, the vicissitudes of life, the joys, sorrows, sorrows, loves and hatreds, birth, old age, sickness and death of mortals are just passing clouds to him.

The common people are only limited to the common people. They are changed from generation to generation, changeable, faceless, and homogeneous. They are not real individuals, but a concept.

If you don't understand love in the world, how can you protect the world?Regardless of personal feelings and feelings, how can we care for the world?Of course, Bai Zihua is not only a heartless person, but also a person who abides by principles.

He opposes love and propriety, and when there is a conflict between love and propriety, he abandons love and protects propriety. How absurd and ridiculous is this?There are many disputes over love and propriety in history, and Confucianism has also had many classic discussions on the relationship between love and propriety.

The starting point of Confucian discussion is benevolence, which comes from the heart and is the most authentic emotion that exists in the relationship between people.

What is benevolence?Forgive me, don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself.

Tracing back to the source, there must be benevolence, and there must be desire first. To have desire is to have affection. Benevolence comes from the heart and radiates outward. How to treat people properly and break it with righteousness.

The standard of righteousness still lies in the human heart. Righteousness is cultivated in the contact and communication with people, in comparing one's heart to another's, and understanding the feelings of others.

Among the five ethics, one can learn the proper way of treating others through contact, that is, righteousness. Outside of the five ethics, it is difficult to realize it in a farther and larger range, and this is the norm of etiquette.

In the final analysis, etiquette is created according to the standard of human feelings and righteousness. When dealing with people, one should start with emotion and end with propriety.

It can be said that love comes first and ritual comes second. Love and ritual are compatible and complementary. It is absurd to put love and ritual in opposition.

Going one step further, etiquette is born from emotion. Giving up emotion to protect etiquette can be said to be abandoning the basics and chasing the last. I dare to ask, if there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?Therefore, one must be sentimental in order to protect the common people. How can one be ruthless and help the world at the same time?
The tragedy of Bai Zihua is that he himself is a contradictory body. He has deep obsessions but teaches others to let go of them. He is unfeeling but wants to protect the sentient beings in the world. Struggling in the whirlpool of love and propriety.

His highest pursuit conflicts so badly with his code of conduct that he will never be able to escape the calamity of life and death. What he cannot escape is, after all, the calamity he has set for himself.

Ouyang Fei didn't expect that with just a few words, he could make Bai Zihua let go of his obsession and face his relationship with Hua Qiangu calmly.

Therefore, if you want to give Hua Qiangu a happy ending, you need the help of these "outsiders" after all. Well, it would be good to use the method of killing Qianmo, if it doesn't make sense, just force it.

"Bai Zihua, if you dare to hurt her for your disciples, I will slaughter your whole family; if you dare to hurt her for the sake of the people in the world, I will kill everyone in the world."

These words are very domineering and touching, but unfortunately, he is not strong enough to do what he said, so, can Ouyang Fei do it?
Hehe, Ouyang Fei said, don't be too simple, Tu Chang stays all over the house, and after merging the power of the prehistoric, it's just a matter of waving hands. It's easier to destroy the world, a T-virus is enough.

Of course, Ouyang Fei would not directly force Bai Zihua to stay with Hua Qiangu, even Hua Qiangu would not accept such a practice.

He would only force him to give up his position as the head of Changliu, and go back to seclusion from now on, not caring about world affairs, and Hua Qiangu can only rely on Hua Qiangu for the rest. This is already the best that Ouyang Fei can do for Hua Qiangu. With her "invincible" character and tenacity, Ouyang Fei believes that she can do it.
