Temple of rocks.

In a sense, immortality is the end point of all ideals...

All the ideals of all people in this world are essentially based on the foundation of immortality...

In a sense...

No matter what a person wants to do, as long as he wants to do it to the extreme, he will always be more or less unable to avoid the concept of immortality...

Or it is to take immortality as the ultimate goal, or it is necessary to live forever to achieve the ultimate goal...

Just like for the emperors, what they want is to be an emperor for ten thousand years, and the most basic condition for being an emperor for ten thousand years is to obtain immortality. Only by being able to live forever can one be the emperor for a long time and become the true master...

In fact, even the most ordinary people always have some extravagant hopes for life at some time...

It’s like facing birth, old age, sickness and death!

Especially when relatives leave this world, people always think more or less, if they can live for a long time, do they don’t have to experience such fear and pain? If they live for a long time, do they don’t have to let their relatives experience such pain...

To take a step back, even if you cannot obtain immortality and be able to live a healthy life without getting sick, you will naturally die. For many people, it can also be said to be a natural wish...

Because most people have seen people who have lost their lives because of illness. When they sigh about the passage of life, they will naturally have the idea of ​​harming their kind...

The difference is that some people just sigh at the fragility of life, while others will work hard to make their lives stronger...

Death itself brings fear...

It is precisely the fear of death that makes people desire life and health...

Many times, the original source of the idea of ​​immortality is actually the fear of death!

The so-called great horror between life and death is the truth!

Terror originates from the unknown, and also from people's fear of the loss of thinking consciousness...

Because I don’t understand, I naturally have the idea of ​​fear, which is something that human instinctive emotions cannot overcome...

And because of this...

So in a sense, human struggles are essentially to resist the threat brought by death...

In real life, some people have touched their nerves because of the death of their relatives and friends, so they choose to quit smoking and drinking and exercise every day. Some people have chosen to work hard because of the death of their relatives and friends, trying to resist the possible invasion of the disease by earning enough money...

Of course, it is still difficult for more people to be truly touched by death and still maintain their original state of life. After all, the death of the people around them is completely different from the death of themselves...

However, there are still so few people!

After realizing the horror of death, they resolutely embarked on the road to immortality!

They abandon their wealth, their status, and even their families. They resolutely enter the deep mountains and forests, polish their spirit and will with the power of nature, and become a monk with immortality as their ultimate goal...

In the eyes of ordinary people, their behavior may be very, very unreasonable...

But for themselves, this is indeed the best manifestation of their own will!

They knew exactly what they wanted, so they did it naturally, even if they knew that their actions were not necessarily correct, and perhaps even could go in the opposite direction and go against the other side...

But they are willing to pay all the price for their pursuit!

This is what is called seeking the truth!

Whether seeking Tao or seeking immortality, in the eyes of many people, it is a very stupid behavior...

Because this behavior itself is not scientific at all...

At least in the field of science, there is no so-called concept of immortality...

What human science can do is to continuously improve human physical fitness through breakthroughs in medical technology and genetic technology. The average lifespan and ultimate lifespan of humans are continuously improved by generations...

As for the kind of cultivation that only appears in fairy tale novels, in the eyes of many people, it is just a daydream that only those who fantasize about reaching the sky in one step...

Yes, it's just a daydream!

However, in this world, there is always someone who daydreams!

Just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, it is a typical example!

As the spokesperson of power and wisdom in Chinese mythology, Sun Wukong was originally just an ordinary monkey...

And where is the source of his growth?

After all, it is nothing more than seeing similar deaths, and a sense of fear and fear of death in my heart...

And it is because of this emotion that he wants to pursue immortality!

And consistently, without any hesitation in this process, we will unswervingly walk on the road to immortality!

Even when facing all kinds of powerful spells that are within your reach, Sun Wukong's words can lead to his true heart!

Even though he has experienced so many hardships, even from knowing nothing to truly understanding the difficulties of immortality, no matter what kind of difficulties or various temptations he faces, Sun Wukong's persistence has never changed!

Even after achieving immortality, the first thing Sun Wukong did was to make a big fuss in the underworld that pointed directly at his original intention, in order to remove the names of monkeys and grandsons from the Huaguo Mountain from the Life and Death Book!

And this is exactly Sun Wukong's original ideal!

If in modern society, a child said to his heartbroken grandmother at his grandfather's funeral: "Grandma, I should learn the art of immortality for you like the Monkey King, then go to the underworld to find my grandfather back, and then remove the names of my grandfather and dad from the life and death book, so that our family can live happily together for the rest of their lives..."

I'm afraid this child won't get any praise. With a slight touch, many people may think that this is just a simple childish statement. Even if this child himself grows up, he may think that his thoughts are actually very stupid and ridiculous, and he thinks that he must have been obsessed with watching Journey to the West...

From this we can see that on the road to immortality, sometimes even if you just think about it, it will be a delusion in the eyes of others, and such a person will also be a delusion...

Not to mention practicing this path of immortality...

And even if you are lucky enough to embark on the road of immortality, how many can you stick to your original ideals? In other words, after the ever-changing world, how many can you remember what you were like in the beginning?

Very few...

However, Sun Wukong is different!

He has indeed done what he wants to do!

I completed my initial ideal step by step!

Many people watch Journey to the West to watch the majesty of the Monkey King when he was making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, or to watch Sun Xingzhe’s fiery eyes and golden eyes along the way to kill demons!

But what really shocks Sun Wukong is precisely his unforgettable intention!

Yes, don’t forget your original intention!

Compared with other things, not forgetting one's original intention is the fundamental reason why Sun Wukong can succeed in the true sense!

How difficult is the way to immortality?

In fact, it can be seen from Sun Wukong!

From a monkey who can't speak human language, he wants to make a bamboo raft to ferry it to human society, and then gradually understand human language and integrate it into human life...

When you can already integrate into human life and after enjoying the prosperity of human beings, you are willing to step into the mountains alone to seek immortality and Taoism...

Even when facing the choice of thousands of magical magic by Bodhi Patriarch, he still insists on whether he can live forever...

This kind of persistence is almost impossible for ordinary people!

And it is precisely this kind of persistence and this kind of persistence that made Sun Wukong finally succeed!

Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Wukong himself is not an ordinary monkey, but a natural stone monkey, a creature born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

Even if the life born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has to go through so many tests and hardships before finally embarking on the road of immortality, you can see how difficult it is to live forever!

In fact, it's not about immortality...

Many times, even if a person wants to maintain his original idea, it will be a difficult thing!

For example, when many rural people work in the city, they think that they must make a name for themselves in the city, and ultimately let their parents live a good life and let their fellow villagers live a good life. When they have money, they must establish schools in their hometowns, and when they have money, they must build bridges and roads in their hometowns...

Many people actually have more or less thoughts before entering the city...

This is also a very normal mentality...

However, after truly entering the city, the temptations and tests they face will gradually dismantle their original ideals, and there are only a handful of people who can truly not forget their original aspirations!

After encountering difficulties and setbacks, a large part of them will "rationally" give up their "unrealistic" ideals and instead pursue some more reasonable ideals. For example, if you make a lot of money, you don't consider it. You will first work in the city and live in a place, and then you can live a life close to the city people, so that you can satisfy yourself...

A small number of them may not give up their persistence after encountering difficulties and setbacks, and still will not choose to compromise. In the end, some people may fail completely, but some people will also achieve certain success and be able to live an average life in the city...

At this time, they will face the temptation of the city. When facing the bright and bright life, they will be addicted to it and eventually forget their original ideals...

Even if a small number of people with firm minds can still maintain their true hearts even when facing a life of bright lights and wine, they can still maintain their true hearts, and eventually achieve success, make a lot of money, and become rich...
