There is an inn in the sky

Chapter 437 Chosen by the world
Fourth floor.

Yan Qingkong was sitting at the desk, browsing quickly with his mobile phone in his hand.

"No wonder there are longevity turtles and three-legged golden toads. It turns out that the five blessings have gradually evolved into Fu Lu Shou Cai Xi..."

The Longevity Turtle represents longevity.

The three-legged golden toad represents wealth!
No, now it only means "rich", and "noble" means salary...

"The simultaneous appearance of the green and red bats, the long-lived tortoise, and the three-legged golden toad represents a dispute between the traditional five blessings and the modern five blessings?"

Yan Qingkong almost completely understood.

This surprised him. He had never thought of this possibility before, and he felt that it was too contradictory to appear at the same time.

At this time, his brows frowned slightly. Should he choose the modern five blessings or the traditional five blessings?

He hesitated for a moment.

He prefers the traditional five blessings.

He believes that among the traditional five blessings, the most important is the fourth blessing - good virtue.

Because virtue is the cause and root of blessings, and blessings are the result and expression of virtues, so that the honest and pure "loving virtues", being willing to do good deeds, and accumulating Yin virtues can cultivate the other four blessings so that they will continue to grow...

After a while, he went downstairs to the living room.

When he walked out of the entrance of the living room, he found that Father Yan was no longer drinking tea at the tea table.

He looked at the time and found that it was past ten o'clock. He smiled and boiled water to make tea and drank it by himself.

"Son, what have you been up to these days?"

After a while, Father Yan came out of the living room, looking a little tired, so he started to drink a cup of tea.

"Just walking around, not busy with anything."

Yan Qingkong smiled, pondered for a while and asked, "Dad, what are the five blessings you know? What do they represent? What do you hope the five blessings can bring you?"

"The five blessings I know?"

Father Yan was a little surprised, why did he suddenly ask this?
Now that his son asked, Father Yan thought for a while and said, "Isn't it just happiness, fortune, longevity and wealth? Could there be something else?"

Yan Qingkong just smiled and said nothing.

"Isn't it right?"

Father Yan asked curiously, and then continued: "Naturally, it represents good luck, promotion, longevity, wealth and happy events. As for what I hope the five blessings can bring, isn't it just these? It's obvious."

"By the way, although I'm not an official, a promotion is considered a salary."

Father Yan added another sentence.

Sure enough!

No wonder it will evolve into Fu Lu Shou Cai Xi.

Although it is only my father's personal opinion, it represents a large group of people.

In fact, Yan Qingkong already knew the result, because this was the choice of the common people, otherwise it would not have evolved into the modern Five Blessings at all...

People live in the secular world, they have to be materialistic, they have to be realistic.

What ideals, spiritual pursuits...

Let me get promoted and get rich first.

"Father, Fu Lu Shou Cai Xi is actually an evolution of the traditional five blessings, and the five blessings we call the five blessings that come to the door refer to longevity, wealth, well-being, good virtue, and a good death." Yan Qingkong pondered and said, look Does father have any opinion.

"Oh, I know, the five blessings come to the door, it seems to be the five blessings, I have read about them in books, and I seem to have heard of them." Father Yan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "These five blessings, um, Kang Ning, Haode , a good death, it’s pretty good, and it’s more pursuit than happiness, wealth, longevity, wealth and happiness.”

"Dad, if you could choose, which one of the five blessings would you choose?" Yan Qingkong asked with a smile.

Father Yan frowned, as if he was comparing the old and new Five Blessings, and then said, "Traditional Five Blessings."

Yan Qingkong was stunned for a moment, never expecting that his father would choose the traditional five blessings.

"Now that I'm getting older, I naturally won't pursue promotion and wealth." Father Yan smiled and explained: "No wealth can compare to good health and peace of mind. To be a human being, one must be benevolent." Kindness, generosity, this will lead to a happy ending..."

Yan Qingkong frowned slightly.

At this time, I suddenly realized a problem. Although the traditional five blessings have evolved into the modern five blessings, the traditional five blessings have not disappeared, or have never been really replaced.

This shows that there are still countless people who choose the traditional five blessings.

Young and middle-aged people may tend to the modern five blessings and pursue promotion and wealth in the secular world, but older people may tend to the traditional five blessings, paying attention to physical health and peace of mind.

Especially the beginning and the end.

What Yan Qingkong can't understand is that the "wealth" in the traditional five blessings actually represents salary and wealth...

After a while, he shook his head, no longer entangled in traditional and modern five blessings.

It is up to the people to choose for themselves.

"what happened?"

Father Yan hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously, "Is it a dispute between the traditional Five Blessings and the modern Five Blessings?"

Yan Qingkong nodded.

"There is nothing to argue about. Tradition is tradition, and modernity is modernity. They can coexist." Father Yan smiled and said, "Tradition has not died out, which means that its existence is still meaningful in modern times. And the appearance of modernity means that Times are evolving and new meanings need to be incorporated.”

"Dad, it's still you who can see through." Yan Qingkong laughed.

"actually……"

Father Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say anything, as if he was worried that he would affect his son's decision.

"Dad, just say what you have, it's okay, don't worry about it." Yan Qingkong smiled.

"Actually, let the people choose the best..."

Father Yan pondered for a while and said.

"Heroes see the same thing, and I mean it too."

Yan Qingkong couldn't help laughing, "It's up to the world to choose whether to choose tradition, modernity, or both..."

Soon after, Yan Qingkong left the Longevity Inn and continued to walk the Temple of Heaven.

After coming out of a temple, he saw a big red bat again, and after he fixed his eyes on it, the figure flashed suddenly.

He appears in front of the bat, hands through the bat...

The red bat is indeed an incorporeal body!

"It seems that only after the five blessings return to their place, they will become real..."

Soon after, his figure appeared in another city, and in the pool of a temple, he saw a jumping three-legged golden toad.

at night.

He saw the red bat and the three-legged golden toad again, each appearing three times, as if giving him a choice.

Is it traditional, or modern?

It seems to be in Yan Qingkong's thought.

However, Yan Qingkong is very restrained, not letting his thoughts give birth to the idea of ​​choosing traditional or modern.

On the second day, when he was walking in the Tianxia Temple, as he had speculated before, he met a big bat with a third color.

This is a white bat.

"The white bat represents 'health and tranquility'?"

After observing for a while, Yan Qingkong began to guess curiously, "Among the modern Five Blessings, which one represents Fu, Lu, and Joy?"

"Which animal will serve as the mascot?"

When he returned to the Longevity Inn and went up to the fourth floor to pick up the "Longevity Book", he saw a "healthy and peaceful" side dish.
