Chapter 941 Divine Grace and Power
Earlier in the car, the driver once said that the disco bar was just around the corner. The driver ran away, so Wu Zhongyuan walked there. While walking, he deeply reflected. It was not that he had nothing wrong with him and he had to find something wrong with himself pretentiously, but that he had previously What he did is indeed worthy of discussion and scrutiny.
As far as their previous actions are concerned, there seems to be no problem on the surface. Those people should indeed be criticized and punished, and their punishment will lead to a better social atmosphere in a small area, but Thinking more deeply, I still shouldn't intervene. The reason is very simple. Good, evil, beauty and ugliness coexist in the world. Just like there must be dirty drains under the smooth road, darkness must be allowed to exist. There must be a reason for their existence. As a ruler who is overlooking and transcendent, there is no need to eradicate some bad phenomena, and there is no need to punish some people with low quality.
After understanding this truth, Wu Zhongyuan didn't worry too much. He just hit him. It wasn't a big deal. He might take action again when encountering similar things in the future. It was not to lead people to good deeds, nor to punish evildoers. , maybe just to make myself feel better.
Comprehension is not something that everyone has. The so-called comprehension is actually a way of thinking in which extremely divergent perceptual thinking and extremely rigorous rational thinking coexist. Through reflection on this matter, Wu Zhongyuan came to two insights. One is As a ruler, you must treat light and darkness equally and regard them as part of yourself. You must not favor one over the other. Light and darkness cannot be completely eradicated. They can only be fine-tuned to maintain balance and stability. If the light is completely eliminated, If it is eradicated, light will be reborn in darkness. If darkness is uprooted, part of the light will be transformed into darkness.
The second is that I have a deeper understanding of Taishang Wuqing. Affected by ideology and education, I still have a narrow mentality that regards myself as bright. I can't help but take action when encountering things that I don't understand. This This kind of emotion with a strong subjective component should not exist. As long as you have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, it means that you still have a position. As long as you still have a position, the pattern is not high enough.
It’s not that you have to make yourself empty of everything, don’t care about anything, as if everything is just a cloud, but you have to maintain a normal heart and laugh at the bright and beautiful things, which can be taught. He also laughs at the dark and despicable things, and is very stubborn. Even if he completely distances himself from the world in the end, it is not because of his disappointment in human nature, but because of his open-mindedness towards the coexistence of good, evil, beauty and ugliness in human nature.
Wu Zhongyuan came to the door of the disco bar unknowingly, but he did not rush in. Instead, he sat down by the flower bed and meditated more profoundly. The reason why he had reflected before was that he thought that he had not done well. It is childish and goes against the pattern and magnanimity of an emperor, but this kind of introspection itself is also narrow-minded. To put it bluntly, it is still holding on. It is true that he is an emperor, but he is also a young man. There is no need to be detached. And deliberately detached, you can just let go and do whatever you want. This does not conflict with the previous insights. The principle must be understood, but as for how to do it, it depends on your mood.
Thinking of this, a person suddenly appeared in my mind, Jigong,
Crazy Jigong. In fact, Jigong’s madness is not all full of profound meanings. There are many times when he just does whatever he wants. It makes sense for the saying that even if meat and wine go through the intestines, it will stay in the heart of the Buddha. Issues of principle must be adhered to, and there is no need to be rigid about trivial matters, otherwise it will Once it is achieved, it is not Mahayana but Hinayana.
Sweeping the floor does not hurt the lives of ants, and caring for moths and covering lamps. This kind of almost harsh kindness is actually completely unnecessary. It is sincere to chant incense and worship God in the morning and evening, but there is no need to forget it occasionally because you are busy doing other things. I feel guilty and blame myself for drinking incense. To give a random example, Brother Dong drank too much and made some style mistakes, but this does not deny that he has been doing good deeds and making great contributions to society. People who do good deeds do not need to be too harsh on themselves, and people in the world should not be morally obsessive towards others. As long as most of what they do is good, you can say that this person is a good person.
It is precisely because of the moral obsessiveness of the world that many people who have always done good things and occasionally made mistakes are pushed into the bottomless abyss, beaten to death with a stick indiscriminately, and subjected to all kinds of verbal and written criticism, and all kinds of rants and barks. As a result, the person involved became completely discouraged, lost the confidence to continue doing good deeds, abandoned the light and turned to darkness, and it was difficult to turn back.
Just as Wu Zhongyuan was thinking quietly, a young woman staggered out of the disco bar. She was not very old, in her early twenties. She was wearing a short skirt on a cold day, with yellow hair and green nails. It was obvious that he had drunk too much. After he came out, he rushed towards the flower bed, bent over and vomited indiscriminately.
Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stood up to avoid it. After vomiting, Huang Mao'er sat down on the edge of the flower bed. At first he could barely sit still, but then he became completely confused, tilted his body and fell next to the flower bed.
Just when Wu Zhongyuan looked disgusted and covered his nose to avoid it, two men walked up not far away. They were not too old, but not too young either. They were in their mid-twenties. They deliberately swayed from side to side when walking, like two ducks. At first glance, he doesn't look like a good person.
These two people had been staying outside the disco bar before, and they were obviously not the same group as the drunk woman. After they came up, they pretended to be concerned and talked to the drunk woman. When they saw that the woman was drunk and unconscious, they lifted her up. He was stuffed into a broken car not far away.
Wu Zhongyuan had been watching from a distance, but he did not step in to stop her. The reason was simple. He did not think this woman was worth saving. She drank the wine herself, and she should be very clear about the possible consequences of drinking too much.
After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan followed the shabby car. The shabby car turned left and right and drove to the parking lot of a hotel. This was a relatively low-end hotel. It seemed that this was not the first time that the two of them had done this kind of thing. They skillfully The woman was carried into a room on the second floor.
What happened next was not only expected by Wu Zhongyuan, but also unexpected by Wu Zhongyuan. He knew what was waiting for this woman, but he did not expect that these two people would do all kinds of despicable and ugly things to this woman that he could not imagine. Not only did he take a lot of photos with his camera, but he also called five or six other people afterwards.
Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to go to the disco bar, but this sudden incident made him change his mind. He did not leave the hotel throughout the second half of the night. This woman was completely drunk, and those who entered the room did not care at all. She treats it as a human being.
The evil deed lasted for four or five hours. Wu Zhongyuan did not step in to stop him, but just watched with a cold expression. As the saying goes, it is better to do evil to God than to do it yourself. When this woman picked up the wine glass and drank herself drunk without restraint, At this moment, she should foresee what might happen to her. She should not expect others to bear the consequences for her mistakes. She can only drink the bitter wine she brews by herself. Any form of presumptuousness and indulgence will have to pay a price.
After dawn, the two men wanted to leave. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan took action. With his current level of cultivation, the two of them would be stunned for as long as he wanted to.
The woman woke up at around eight o'clock in the morning. After waking up, she quickly understood what had happened and cried so sadly.
Wu Zhongyuan did a very cold-blooded thing. He woke up the two men and asked them to turn on their cameras and show the woman the photos they took last night.
The woman didn't look and kept yelling. Wu Zhongyuan blocked the sound with his spiritual energy. After the woman calmed down, he said calmly, "If you don't look, I will let them take the camera away."
The woman almost collapsed. It took her a long time to calm down, but after reading a few pictures she collapsed again and continued to cry and howl.
During this period, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to stop this almost cruel behavior several times, but in the end he held back. He had to make her unforgettable and heart-wrenching, otherwise she would not remember it long.
At noon, Wu Zhongyuan destroyed the camera and asked the woman if she wanted to call the police. The woman hesitated for a long time and refused to call the police.
Wu Zhongyuan sent these two men to the northwest desert to see whether they could come out alive to see their fate.
The woman didn't appreciate it and regarded Wu Zhongyuan as a lunatic and a lunatic. Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect the other party to appreciate him either. He didn't take action last night because he wanted the woman to bear the consequences for his mistakes. Today, he didn't let the two of them take away the camera because he wanted to make the woman bear the consequences. She left the opportunity to be a new person. This seemingly contradictory approach is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but it is in line with the way of heaven, which is like the sea of divine grace and the power of divine power. Don't think that the way of heaven is all gentle, it also has a cold side.
After Wu Zhongyuan left the hotel, he wandered on the street and found a high-end tobacco shop. He entered invisibly, took some high-end tobacco and alcohol, teleported back to the place where he appeared, and sent the tobacco and alcohol back to ancient times.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a piece of bluestone on the edge of the ditch on the right. The bluestone was very square and looked familiar to him, so he walked over and looked carefully, and found that there were two ancient characters engraved on it, which read the word "An Ran".
There is no doubt that this piece of bluestone was sent by Wu Di or the old blind man. He had sent some fruits back before. Wu Di and others guessed that he might come here again, so they used this method to contact him.
This slate should have appeared in the center of the field. It was thrown by the landowner to the edge of the ditch during spring plowing and fertilization. Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while, carved the word "successful" on the back of the slate, and sent the slate back.
After confirming that everything was fine in ancient times, Wu Zhongyuan felt calmer, teleported back to the original place, and found a restaurant for lunch.
He left behind a bottle of Maotai from the cigarettes and wine he had taken away before. He ordered two dishes and drank by himself.
The table next door is a group of classmates having a gathering. There are more than a dozen men and women together. A large table is full, and there are women present. Most of the men will show off, but they don’t seem to have anything worth showing off. They can only Show off his drinking capacity and gulp down cheap beer to highlight his masculinity.
Nothing can be generalized, but to be honest, most class reunions are gray and yellow. Under the cover of classmate friendship, some indescribable things often happen. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are very few.
During the dinner, someone's phone rang. It was the husband of one of the female classmates. The call was similar to a police check. To put it bluntly, he was worried.
The female classmate was very dissatisfied with her husband's inspection. She walked out of the hotel and quarreled with her husband on the street.
Wu Zhongyuan did not deliberately listen to what both parties said. There is only one right way and one right direction, but there are thousands of mistakes and wrong ways. Taking various forms of gatherings as an example, as long as there are people of the same age and the opposite sex, whether to participate or not You should seek your spouse's opinion before you can go if the other person agrees. If the other person doesn't let you go, then you can't go. This has nothing to do with fear or love, but as a spouse, you have this right...
