Chapter 90: Donglai Taoist's Guidance on Li Changsheng

Chunyufen felt very strange, and he returned to the big locust tree in the yard. After observing, he found a tree hole at the root of the tree. He used a tool to dig the hole and saw a large ant nest inside. Countless ants gathered in the tree hole, including two very large ones protected by dozens of small ants; There are also buildings, streets, and cities made of soil piled up in the tree hole. Chunyu Fen thought, 'Perhaps this is the palace of Huai'an Kingdom.' There is a hole outside the palace that leads up to a branch on the south side, which is the county of Nanke where he became the Duke. Chunyu Fen couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have thirty years of glory and wealth in my dream, and when I wake up, it's a dream of Nanke."

After Donglai Taoist finished telling the story in the picture, he found that Li Changsheng and Shen Ziyu were silently smiling at him. Taoist Donglai knew that his intentions had been discovered by them. These two people are extremely intelligent people in the world, and they must know his intentions.

Sure enough, Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Senior brother, do you want to ask me what I think? Nanke dream tells people that life is ever-changing, and all wealth and prosperity are like dreams in an ant hole that cannot be relied on. The power and wealth that a person strives to obtain throughout his life cannot be taken away by the time he die."

Shen Ziyu also smiled and said, "People pursue prosperity and wealth throughout their lives, and they look forward to both fame and fortune. However, people often find that what they have gained with a lot of time and energy, and even risking their lives, is easily lost. This makes people feel unreal, as if it is just an illusory dream."

Donglai Taoist lowered his head, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands together, saying, "Infinite Longevity Buddha, the wealth and glory of life are like cooking smoke, which will soon disappear. Since Mr. Li has already realized this truth, why not focus on learning Taoist martial arts and pursue another kind of freedom and joy in life？"

After listening to Taoist Dong Lai's words, Li Changsheng nodded and said, "The story you told me has given me some insights. The story you told is what the Tao Te Ching says: A person can use his entire life to obtain a lot of gold,and the gold can fill his house, but he cannot always have this wealth. Because there will be many people who want to own his wealth through various means, including their enemies, friends, and even their sons and wives. Moreover, once people have a huge amount of wealth, they will become lazy, they will gamble and go whoring. They will also use their wealth to Do other bad things. Such a wealthy life has left them with many troubles. However, there is another sentence in the Tao Te Ching: After reaching a peak in the political or business fields, a person should immediately withdraw from this field and live a life of ordinary people.Only in this way he can have a good ending. The ending of the story you just told is tragic because he does not know how to retire immediately after success and live a low-key life."

Donglai Dao sighed and said, "I have been dedicated to studying Taoist Kung Fu for more than 60 years, and my current level is only in the middle of building a foundation. Although you have the talent to learn Taoist Kung Fu, you still need to double your efforts to learn it well. Don't be half hearted when you study Dao.

Shen Ziyu said to the Eastern Taoist Priest, "I don't agree with what you said. There is a sentence in the book 'The Book of Changes': This world likes the strongest and smartest species, survival of the fittest. Therefore, one should not easily give up their ideals, but strive to become stronger and smarter. Life is short, and a person's life is meaningful only when they strive to improve themselves and change their fate. How can we easily give up the pursuit of life because there are some pains in life？"
