Daming Taoist Medicine

Chapter 272 Chapter 272
Kong Ru asked: "Which book did you learn from? Or, how did you realize this?"

Yang Fan said: "The Dao is not in the book, it has always been by our side, and the two people closest to the Dao in this world are a baby as pure as white paper, and an old man who has gone through vicissitudes. As long as you observe these two people, most likely There will be gains."

"Have you ever seen an adult tease a baby? If you pretend to slap his mother viciously, the baby will cry, and if you grab his food, he will cry too, but if he is full, As long as the mother pouts, the child will probably pass the food in her hand to the mother, do you think this is the case? You only see the cuteness of the baby, why no one thinks about the essence behind this cuteness?"

The girls were delighted to hear that, and someone asked, "What is it?"

Yang Fan laughed and said: "It's human selfishness, it's a kind of self-protection out of instinct. For an infant child, my mother, my food, make up my world. If you hit my mother, there is nothing you can do." I naturally cry to vent my sadness and anger, and if you rob me of food, I naturally cry to defend what I have, but if I am not hungry, I am naturally willing to give it to my mother, or even to my father, grandmother, and grandfather..."

"It is human nature to be selfish. In order to get more love from their parents, children will argue with their brothers and sisters; in order for adults to get a better living environment, brothers and sisters will work together to compete with outsiders; for the territorial sovereignty of the country, we These strangers from all corners of the world will gather together to fight against the enemy, fight tenaciously with the aliens on the battlefield, and regard death as home. For the inner whole, our actions are love, hard work, and responsibility. But to the outside world, one word can be summed up, it is selfishness nature."

"Selfishness and selflessness are the unity of opposites. How can there be no selfishness without selfishness? How can there be selfishness without selfishness? I said that selfishness consists of possession, ignorance, and laziness. The starting point of my "Tao" is selfishness. Let you think that this world is evil, but let you know where our cultivation is going."

"What we cultivate is diligence, what we cultivate is learning, and what we cultivate is contentment and happiness."

Yuan Nong praised: "Young brother is right."

Yang Fan smiled slightly.

Kong Ru interface asked: "Where is the end of the 'Tao'?"

Yang Fan said: "The end of Tao is peace of mind."

"Before I say the end, I must first explain what Tao is! Have any of you ever thought about what Tao is?"

Everyone looked at Yang Fan intently, and listened intently.

Yuan Nong replied: "Tao is the door to happiness."

Yang Fan gave Yuan Nong a thumbs up, "How did the big brother find the answer?"

Yuan Nong said with a silly smile: "Cultivating new rice has always been my ideal, so I work happily every day, and I will get happiness in my work. I am happy when I am farming, and I am fulfilled when I harvest. , I am happy when I find new rice seeds. You ask me what Tao is. I don’t know other people’s. I don’t feel tired, but I feel happy holding the newly cultivated rice. Since you just said that the end point is peace of mind, and then asked what it is, I think it should be the ‘door to happiness’ without a doubt.”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Congratulations brother, you have always been on your own way."

Yuan Nong made a gesture of invitation to Yang Fan, motioning him to continue.

"As my brother said, Tao is the door to happiness."

"There are three thousand great ways, all of which are in the world, the way of war, the way of law, the way of farming, the way of calligraphy, the way of poetry, the way of painting, the way of medicine, the way of kingship... No matter which way, they are essentially the branches of the 'Tao', all for the sake of Create wealth for yourself and benefit the people; it is all for the happiness of yourself, and then happiness for others. Even if the bandit who robs the house, isn’t there someone who is doing justice for the sky? ?"

"Someone wants to make a fortune, and this businessman is undoubtedly his way."

"Someone wants to spread poetry and books to the world, and this writing becomes his way."

"Someone wants to defend their home and country, and being a general becomes his way."

"Someone wants to measure the size of the world, so traveling around the world and writing travel notes becomes his way."

"Someone wants to get rid of diseases and eliminate disasters, and tasting the cases of Baicaoji becomes his way."

"The reason why there are so many avenues is that people in the world have discovered many different doors to happiness. They use their fearless perseverance, serious focus, and persistent pursuit, and they all benefit future generations in the end."

"You can't understand why a smart person is not keen on fame, but only concentrates on making money; you can't understand why a down-and-out scholar doesn't work hard, but wants to read and write every day; you can't understand why a sick person doesn't feel pity Your own health is all about expanding the territory; you can’t understand why a well-off man with a wife and son thinks about traveling every day regardless of his family; you can’t understand why a person with a normal mind eats grass?”

"Have you ever thought about whether there would be Wu Shizhen and Zhang Shizhen before Li Shizhen? Have you ever thought about whether there were Feng Jinyong and Feng Baiyue before my master Feng Qingyang? You have seen people who have become famous after success, but I haven’t seen those who use their lives to find experience. In fact, there are many people in this world who crawl forward in places that others don’t understand, and use their own efforts to prove their own way. Li Shizhen’s father was also poisoned to death by his own medicine. My master's achievements are also based on the secret books of my ancestor Lao Tzu."

"How good a person is depends on whether he has his own Tao; how successful a person is depends on how many people his Tao can bring happiness to."

"The Tao is the door to happiness, and the end of the Tao is peace of mind, so it is easy to understand."

"Why is there such a phrase as 'to die with peace of mind'? Why is there such a saying as 'a person who is about to die, his words are good'? Why is there such a phrase as 'Smiling Nine Fountains'? Why do some people say, 'When one hears the Tao, one dies at night is enough'?"

Yang Fan looked around and paused for a long time, whetting everyone's appetite.

Wen Wu smiled angrily: "Don't talk like a eunuch, you will be anxious to death."

Yang Fan smiled brightly, "People live for a lifetime, pursue a lifetime, and will self-examine the past when they die. If they don't get the key to happiness, how can they die with peace of mind? Li Shizhen struggled before dying and took out the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and wrote down a sentence : This grass is poisonous. The great merchant has been fighting all over his life, and not long after his death, his son will lose his family fortune, and the coffin will probably be overturned, how can he smile at Jiuquan?"

Everyone's smiles were various, but their eyes never left Yang Fan's body.

"In the Town God's Temple at the foot of the mountain, Tie Zhu was desperate to save Xiao Cui. For Tie Zhu at that moment, his happiness was Xiao Cui. He could die, but Xiao Cui could not die. Xiao Cui committed suicide and followed Tie Zhu. At that moment, Tie Zhu Isn't it Xiaocui's way? They found the door to happiness, but lost the qualification for happiness in an instant. Xiaocui's words and deeds before he died were indescribable. Do you think I can't save Xiaocui? I can save it."

"However, I can save the person who saved her, but I can't save her heart. Although some things are not good, it may be right for him to happen. Xiaocui's death for love is her relief and the way she wants. .”

"They are not only smiling at Jiuquan, but also embracing Jiuquan."

"My master Feng Qingyang and I talked for a long time before parting. He told me his plan, and he told me his plan. I knew that my parting with him might last forever, but I didn't hug him. His legs did not let him go, because I saw satisfaction and happiness, seriousness and hope on his face. This ragged old Taoist priest is great, because his way is to let the people of the world practice martial arts. The way is to expel the foreign cavalry, his way is to make the country strong, his way is to make the people self-improving, and his way is to let the Han culture stand on the top of the world's nations."

"People like my master hope that I will remember his death and continue his mission, instead of holding his leg and begging him not to die."

Everyone was silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Yang Fan laughed and said, "Why are you like this? This is a Dao discussion meeting, not a silent mourning meeting. Please ask some more interesting questions!"

A girl laughed and asked, "Uncle! Since you agreed to give us a Taoist temple and let us become Taoist priests, can I marry a good man if I become a Taoist priest?"

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Of course! Practice is for understanding, unity, meditation, and ultimately happiness. Isn't marrying the right person closer to happiness? The key is to continue happiness to children."

A young girl asked with a smile: "Uncle Master, since you know so much, can you teach us girls how to distinguish between good men and bad men?"

This is an active question, and Yang Fan said seriously: "Actually, our ancestors told us the answer a long time ago."

"When you praise people, do you remember two idioms? One has both talent and appearance, and the other has both ability and integrity."

Do you think it is some kind of unorthodox knowledge?If it's such a bad street, who doesn't know?

Yang Fan smiled and said: "It is because of simplicity that you ignore his deep meaning. Have you ever thought about why talent comes first and appearance comes last when you have both talent and appearance? Why do you have both ability and morality, why virtue comes first and then second ?”

See everyone thinking.

Yang Fan laughed and said, "Aren't the ancestors telling us that the most important thing in choosing a partner is virtue, followed by talent, and finally appearance."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yang Fan's speech is relaxed and freehand, witty and humorous.

It is obviously a trivial matter, but it tells the essence of the Dao, explaining the profound things in a simple way, which makes people feel unsatisfied, and the parallelism and examples make people enlightened.

Everyone listened with gusto, and they all secretly praised Yang Fan's eyes like torches, unparalleled in the world.

……

I don't know how long it took, Yangyang went straight into the hall with a bag in her arms, walked up to Yang Fan, and asked angrily, "Are you trying to starve your daughter to death?"

Yang Fan, who questioned the electricity, petrified on the spot.

Yangyang pointed to the sky outside, and said angrily, "Look at what time it is now? You adults talk from early morning to evening, and don't work and cook all day. Are you sorry for your height? Especially You, you are the one who has a daughter, and just got me for two days, then you start not to cherish me, keep me outside, and ignore me if you love me, are you not afraid of not having a daughter? "
