"What's wrong?" Tang Hong noticed the change in Si Zang.
"The advancement mission is a world that will cause a great calamity. It feels like I'm being thrown into the Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West." Si Zang was on the verge of tears: "Although it's good, I don't want to go alone. That's not the Taoist world that I like at all."
"Fourth Brother, why don't you just become a monk? Didn't your master give you Buddhist teachings?" Tang Hong gestured, suggesting that you enter the Journey to the West and become a monk directly.
"You mean this?" Sizang picked up his bracelet, which contained an upside-down cross with a bodhisattva nailed upside down on it. "Do you like it?"
"Haha, Master understands you quite well." Tang Hong turned his face away, almost bursting out laughing.
At this moment, Xu Shilin returned to normal. Amidst a surge of emotion, he nodded to Lin Feng and said, "My benefactor, I understand. I will help you. After I resign from my post, I will carefully consider this matter."
Lin Feng said tactfully, "No need to rush. Take care of your own affairs first. We will stay here for a year."
"yes!"
Xu Shilin cupped his hands in greeting.
...
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng slowly practiced his visualization technique, feeling neither joy nor sorrow.
In the past six months, Tang Hong went to the far north to hone his martial arts skills alone, Yu followed Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi to live quietly in Hangzhou, Si Zang hid in the deep mountains to perfect his path, and he bought a house in a remote place in Hangzhou, occasionally meeting with Yu, and rarely going out on weekdays.
The Nine Demon Stars' visualization technique has been perfected. Now, it has been integrated with the Primordial Flame and the power of demons, as well as his own essence, energy, and spirit. It is no longer just a simple visualization technique, but a "method" that comprehensively enhances oneself.
If this method were given to anyone, they could cultivate demonic power with its own dark space simply by practicing the visualization method.
However, these were just routine cultivation steps. Lin Feng's only expectation was that fragment of the world's will that had shone brightly when he communicated with Wenquxing.
His Way is responding to him.
He vaguely saw his own path to enlightenment unfolding perfectly.
In the past six months, Xu Shilin has communicated with him three times. The first time was about his summary of the Tao he talked about. The meaning of learning and growth is not to make people know more or gain more, but to make people learn to be self-reliant.
The second time, they talked about health, the natural course of birth, aging, illness and death, but many people don't care at all. They just think that as long as they're not dead, that's enough, or if they're about to die, they should take medicine to stay healthy for a while and not die.
They fundamentally disregarded life and themselves.
The third time, they talked about emotions, or rather, love. As autonomous beings, humans are always the luckiest thing to do to meet someone who understands them. However, many people are forced to look for the right person from a biological perspective.
Lin Feng also learned a lot from these conversations: the strength of the self, the strength of the body, and the strength of the emotions, when combined, will give birth to an ever-renewing soul.
The first two are simple, but the third requires a proper way of guiding it.
However, he could not escape, nor did he escape, the structure of modern society, and in his eyes, he redrawn the modern template.
If a child is in a relationship during elementary school, parents only need to tell them what is right and wrong, and let them realize that this is a mistake.
If a child is involved in a romantic relationship in junior high school, it's necessary to help them understand the importance of respect. The child needs to realize whether the other person's desire to be in a relationship with them is genuine respect, and whether their actions truly respect the other person. This should be addressed from both an emotional and age-related perspective, helping the child make the right choice, rather than resorting to physical punishment.
High school is the first step towards the future. Based on mutual respect, their future will not stop there. If they truly respect each other, they will work together instead of getting caught up in a romantic relationship.
Early romantic relationships are not always a bad thing; the bad thing is becoming obsessed with them.
University, based on a humanistic perspective, is not about rushing students into relationships or investigating the other person's family. Instead, it's about helping them focus on each other's values and beliefs, and getting to know someone from a human perspective. Even if the person is someone they came from the same high school with, they should truly understand that person's character, rather than blindly agreeing to a relationship based on impulse.
The pursuit of emotions is endless, and the path of pursuit is both painful and joyful. When we meet someone who shares the same feelings, we will find that we are not alone in this world.
If we cultivate such a future, then the suffering inherent in human beings will be reduced by more than half.
Lin Feng slowly summarized the thoughts that kept rising in his mind, and he understood that his path had approached a perfect angle.
This is the way of his era, and also the light he wanted to illuminate with the Nine Demon Stars.
"Brother, Xu Shilin's private school has started." Gui Ke came to his side and handed Lin Feng a candied hawthorn.
"Let's go take a look."
Lin Feng stood up and followed Gui Ke out of the courtyard.
As they walked, the two passed through bustling streets and arrived at a small courtyard near West Lake in Hangzhou.
More than twenty students were already seated in the courtyard, including children from ordinary families as well as children from several wealthy families in Hangzhou.
"Today is the first day of our class. Today, I'm not going to teach you to read and write, but rather the stories of Yu Gong moving mountains and Kuafu chasing the sun." Xu Shilin saw Lin Feng appear at the door, gave him a respectful look, and then continued speaking to the children below.
Have you heard of Dujiangyan? Do you know about the changes Dujiangyan has undergone in water management over thousands of years?
As Xu Shilin recounted his story, he gradually captured the attention of all the children: "Today is my first lesson. Although I don't know what your future holds, I hope that you can be like these stories, undaunted by difficulties."
This is the true essence of Chinese culture, this is Chinese-style education, not the exam-oriented education that parents use to shirk their responsibility to educate their children!
As the first day came to an end, Lin Feng disappeared early from Xu Shilin's private school.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Shilin's private school was undergoing a quiet transformation. The change in the students' spirits was so clear that the families who sent their children to study there could feel the changes in their children.
Perhaps they still cannot change their fate, and the darkness of the world can never extinguish the light in their hearts.
"Today, your teacher is going to tell you something very important. As my students, you are all the same to me, whether you are local gentry or ordinary poor people. The knowledge I teach you and my expectations for you are the same."
“You cannot choose your birth, you cannot choose your parents, but here, you can choose to become my students. It has nothing to do with your birth or your wealth; it is solely your choice.”
"Therefore you are equal."
"You Hong likes mathematics. You may not be able to become an official, but your teacher hopes that you will not give up your hobby. Your profession does not define your life. You can spend three years learning to forge blacksmiths, but that does not mean that you cannot study mathematics in the future."
"You have decades ahead of you, so your passion will never be diminished. Besides, blacksmithing is just a way to make a living. You can pursue your passion in different professions."
“Bao Junxiang is the eldest son in the family and will definitely inherit the family business, but that doesn’t mean your life is fixed. You should find your own future by using methods that suit you.”
“Pang Chen’s family has fallen on hard times and he is somewhat lazy. But have you ever forgotten that thousands of years ago, your ancestors also raised their children bit by bit with hoes and created glory bit by bit?”
