Chapter 486: Concubine Yuanli's Mind
Although this office building has only 8 floors in total, it is far away from the city center and the surrounding buildings are relatively low in height, so the height of this office building is also unique here.
When the two of them arrived at the rooftop, they saw that the roof was empty and quiet, with only the afternoon breeze blew, which made them feel particularly cool.
Chen Feiyu and Concubine Yuan Li walked to the edge of the roof and looked outside. They saw that the surrounding scenery was clear and their minds were relaxed.
There were no railings on the roof. Concubine Yuan Li stood on the edge with her feet. One step further was a height of dozens of meters.
But she didn't care about her safety at all. She opened her arms and seemed to be embracing the refreshing air here. She closed her eyes slightly and showed a very enjoyable smile. She smiled and said, "Only by standing on the empty roof, I can feel that I am free at this moment."
Chen Feiyu stood beside Concubine Yuan Li. Although he had both hands in his pockets, he had sufficient confidence to ensure Concubine Yuan Li's safety. He asked curiously, "So, do you feel unfree in your daily life?"
"Yes!" Yuan Lifei replied firmly, without any hesitation. She still closed her eyes, first shook her head slightly, and then emphasized again: "No freedom at all."
Chen Feiyu nodded and didn't say anything. He knew that he only needed to be a good listener now.
Sure enough, I heard Princess Yuan Li close her eyes and continue, "Actually, I know very well that I have an outstanding appearance, outstanding ability, huge wealth, and a famous reputation. I am a successful person that countless people envious and yearn for. What I have is that most people in this world will never get for the rest of their lives.
But many times, I envy ordinary people. At least, they can live a simple life, laugh and scold without worry, and they will not be like me. They are obviously carrying so many thoughts in their hearts that they are almost breathless, but they have to force themselves to laugh every day and tell themselves to be patient. Haha, Feiyu, do you think I am greedy?"
After saying that, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, opened her eyes and looked at Chen Feiyu.
"No." Chen Feiyu shook his head, pondered slightly, and said: "In life, everyone has the right to pursue freedom, but everyone is not free either, because heaven and earth are a big cage that binds everyone inside. When birth, old age, sickness, death, love separation, long-term resentment, unable to seek and unable to let go, is the punishment given to people by heaven and earth.
No matter who, no matter what social status, or how much power and wealth you control, as long as you are born between heaven and earth, you have to endure the eight sufferings in this world. And the size of the heaven and earth is, the size of this cage is. Therefore, except for a very small number of people, most people in the world cannot escape. Therefore, the Tao Te Ching says, "The net of heaven is vast and wide, and it is not leaked."
"Oh?" Concubine Yuan Li had a little interest and said, "I heard the implicit meaning in your words. Can anyone in this world escape the eight sufferings of life?"
"Yes." Chen Feiyu said without any hesitation: "As the Taoist "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Jing" says, "Life is the root of death; the dead is the root of life". Life and death can be transformed into each other. Although heaven and earth are an extremely huge net that binds everyone, heaven and earth invisibly tell people how to escape the shackles of heaven. Therefore, Taoism also says, "Observe the way of heaven and hold on to the way of heaven and earth, it is all."
The sky does not speak, but there are heavy rainstorms and thunders; the earth does not speak, but there are mountains and rivers collapse. If you want to break free from the cage of heaven and earth and gain unrestrained freedom, you can only accept yin and yang in yourself, unite qi and transcend, and become as powerful as the heaven and earth. This is the 'harmony of nature' that the ancients pursued. Only by reaching the state of 'harmony of nature' can you have the opportunity to further transcend yourself, and then transcend heaven and earth, and achieve true freedom and freedom."
Chen Feiyu was originally a Taoist route, so he could naturally talk about Taoist theories. Whether it was "The Immortal and Martial Arts" or "The Hunyuan Sword Sutra", these two peerless martial arts told him that as long as he continued to practice, he would sooner or later reach the level he mentioned, or even achieve higher achievements.
Concubine Yuan Li was surprised. She could not have imagined that Chen Feiyu had such a big mind and could see the vast world. No wonder he could achieve such a high achievement at a young age.
In the surprised and admirable look of Concubine Yuan Li, Chen Feiyu stretched out his right hand and slowly clenched his fist, and said confidently: "The universe cares about his hands, and all things are born from the body. I, Chen Feiyu, are the ones who are confident that they can transcend the world and tear the net, and the people around me will no longer be bound by the world."
Concubine Yuan Li's eyes were full of colors. No matter whether what Chen Feiyu said was true or false, at least at this moment, she could feel Chen Feiyu's powerful and firm belief.
As for women, who doesn’t worship a real strong man? Concubine Yuan Li is naturally not immune to the vulgarity.
Chen Feiyu suddenly looked at Concubine Yuan Li's eyes and said seriously: "You can tell the things you hide in your heart. I want to see what is actually what makes the beautiful and charming Concubine Li so worried.
Believe me, even the world cannot bind me, Chen Feiyu, let alone pressing on you, it is just a trouble in the world. I, Chen Feiyu, with a sword in the sky, can cut it off and give you the freedom you want."
After Chen Feiyu finished speaking, a warm smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand to Concubine Yuan Li.
Concubine Yuan Li was shocked, and she felt that Chen Feiyu's smile was very sunny and bright at this moment. Not only did she feel at ease inexplicably, she also felt intoxicating. Before she knew it, she gently placed her jade hand on Chen Feiyu's hand, her pretty face was slightly rosy, and she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Feiyu."
Chen Feiyu smiled brilliantly and gently held Yuan Li's hand tightly, feeling weak and boneless, and it was very comfortable to hold it in his hand.
A man and a woman held hands tightly on the edge of the rooftop, like a pair of fairy couples.
Concubine Yuan Li’s pretty face turned redder, and an ambiguous sweet atmosphere rose in Concubine Yuan Li’s heart.
She did not pull out her hand, but let Chen Feiyu hold it. The temperature coming from Chen Feiyu's hand made her feel a rare feeling of peace.
Concubine Yuan looked forward again, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, my original surname was Ming, and my name was also called Concubine Ming."
"Ming Li Concubine?" Chen Feiyu repeated in a low voice and smiled: "This name is also very nice, but I like your current name more."
Concubine Yuan Li hated Chen Feiyu shyly and happily, and continued: "I am from Yanjing, and the Ming family is one of the most powerful families in Yanjing. As for my father..."
Suddenly, deep disgust and hatred flashed in Concubine Yuan Li's eyes, and she was obviously very disgusted with his father.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions in her heart, then continued: "He is the second son of the Ming family, and my mother is an ordinary woman with an ordinary background. She was a very beautiful woman with a very traditional concept. She relied on her talent and hard work to get into Yenching University and became the school beauty of Yenching University back then. She happened to be a classmate with my father.
My father was deeply attracted by my mother's beauty and talent. After pursuing crazy things, he finally got the beauty back. The next year, my mother became pregnant with me, and my father naturally took my mother to the Ming family and expressed his intention to marry my mother.
This was originally a happy event for my mother, but my father was a timid and cowardly and incompetent person who dared not resist the family's opinions because my mother was an ordinary family. The Ming family firmly opposed their marriage for the sake of family interests, and drove my mother out of the Ming family in a winter when she was flying in college."
Chen Feiyu listened silently, knowing that this must have been a great trauma for Concubine Yuan Li, and his hand holding her tighter.
Yuan Lifei felt Chen Feiyu's careful actions and felt warm inside, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Later, although my mother was heartbroken, she decided to give birth to me because she thought the child was innocent. Unexpectedly, less than a month after she gave birth to me, my father went to her and said that she would take the responsibility she deserved.
Under his sweet words and enthusiasm, my mother fell again. He took my mother to a golden house hidden in the apartment outside Yanjing. He would come to visit us every month and promised to find a way to marry my mother to the Ming family. At least during that time, my childhood was still happy and I could enjoy fatherly love and motherly love, although this fatherly love was not complete.
However, happy times never last long. In my memory, as I grew older, my father visited us less and less often, from more than ten times a month to seven or eight times a month, to once every three months or even once every six months, and never came again in the end.
Later, I accidentally heard that my father had already married another woman. That woman was not only younger, but also one of the wealthy families in Yanjing. She was able to match the Ming family. My mother was deeply hit and became depressed since then. She often locked herself in the room without eating or drinking. However, she still relied on her own efforts to support me in college alone.
I know it is not easy for my mother. When I found a well-paid job and prepared to be filial to my mother, she... but she died of depression. I knew that my mother was killed by the Ming family and that man, so I changed my surname and the same surname as my mother, so I showed that my family had broken up with the Ming family and vowed to avenge my mother and let the people of the Ming family kneel in front of my mother's grave and kowtow to repent!"
Speaking of this, Concubine Yuan's voice was slightly more swallowed, and her eyes were filled with crystal tears. Obviously, this incident was a big blow to her.
Chen Feiyu sighed silently, reached out and gently wiped off the tears in the corner of Concubine Yuan Li's eyes, and said, "It is indeed a human tragedy for his son to support him but his parents are not waiting for him. However, at least your mother has trained you to become the best woman in the world. I believe that she will feel relieved if she is in heaven."
"Feiyu, thank you." Concubine Yuan Li enjoyed Chen Feiyu's tenderness and her eyes softened.
