Chapter 4385 Chapter 4387 [When drinking with a close friend, a thousand cups are too little]
"Good wine, really fragrant and mellow, with endless aftertaste." Cui Wenzi took a sip and was full of praise.
He had never drunk such a rich and fragrant wine. Compared with it, the wine he drank before was like water.
"What kind of wine is this? Does it have a name?" Cui Wenzi asked curiously.
"Lanling's fine wine is full of tulips, and the jade bowl contains amber light. But it makes the host drunk, and they don't know where they are." Xiang Nan recited with a smile, "Sir, this is Lanling's fine wine."
"Good poem, good name." Cui Wenzi praised.
"Sir, since you are a good drinker, let's try this bowl again." Xiang Nan said with a smile, and then poured another glass of wine for Cui Wenzi.
"Good wine, mellow and elegant, with overflowing fruity aroma. This is the first time I have tasted such fruit wine." Cui Wenzi sighed again, "What is this bowl of wine?"
"The luminous cup of grape wine will prompt you to drink the pipa immediately. Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "This is wine."
"What a powerful poem!" Cui Wenzi exclaimed after listening to it. "To hear such poems and drink such wine, this life is really worth it."
"Sir, don't be anxious, there are still good wines and good poems." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But there are too many ordinary people here, which disturb people's peace. Why don't you find a quiet place with me, taste the wine slowly, and slowly How about reciting poetry?”
It turned out that while he and Cui Wenzi were drinking and reciting poems, several gangsters were eyeing the golden cup in his hand.
Hufflepuff's golden cup is not only made of gold, but also inlaid with many red, green, blue, and yellow gemstones, making it even more dazzling and jewel-like, so it attracts the covetousness of outsiders.
As for Xiang Nan and Cui Wenzi, one is an old man and the other is a young man. They seem to pose no threat, so they make those greedy people ready to take action.
When Cui Wenzi heard this, he smiled and nodded.
…
Xiang Nan immediately took Cui Wenzi's hand and used phantom, disappearing in an instant.
"..." Seeing this scene, everyone in the restaurant was dumbfounded.
Especially the gangsters who were planning to grab the gold cup were so frightened that their eyes almost popped out.
Only then did they realize that they had just come close to robbing an immortal.
Fortunately, the gods didn't care about them, otherwise they would be dead now.
…
Xiang Nan took Cui Wenzi directly back to the Zhongnan Mountain Villa.
"So you are the god." Cui Wenzi looked at Xiang Nan and smiled.
"I don't dare, I just have some magic power." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I love, hate, greed, and delusion, and there is no way I can stop them. How can I be called transcendent, let alone sensible. But although Mr. is in the world of mortals, he is I admire him very much for being carefree and free.”
Although he has been practicing the "Nirvana Sutra", he cannot achieve the ultimate nirvana by purifying the six roots, having no desires and desires, cutting off worries, and finally attaining nirvana.
Even his desire is stronger than that of ordinary people. For example, Gao Yao is greedy for food, sex, money, and power at most...it's just a small amount of greed.
Xiang Nan wants to become an immortal or a god, so he doesn't think he is a god, even if he has the ability to do many things that only gods can do.
It was obvious that he had made the elixir of immortality, but in the end he did not choose to take it. Instead, he would rather share it with others, while he was willing to obey the laws of nature and die calmly.
This kind of state is something Xiang Nan will never reach. Therefore, he sincerely admired Cui Wenzi. He believed that although Cui Wenzi was not an immortal, he was a real "immortal". Cui Wenzi smiled slightly when he heard what Xiang Nan said, "It's not easy for you to admit this. There are many people in this world who are deceitful, hypocritical and cunning. They are benevolent and righteous on the surface, but they are cheating on others secretly."
"I admit it not because I am more magnanimous than others, but because I have the ability to protect myself." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "So even if I speak out, no one can do anything to me.
But if it were someone else, they would be looked down upon, wary of, or even ostracized by others. So if they don't want to get into trouble, they can only live with the light and wear two masks.
If everyone in the world was a gentleman, or if everyone's rights and interests could be protected, even if they were unique and different, they would not be bullied by others. Naturally, everyone would be willing to tell the truth.
So people are not wrong, it is the world that is wrong. Just like the green vegetables in a sauce vat, no matter how juicy they are when you put them in, they will become pickles over time. "
"What you said makes sense." Cui Wenzi nodded with a smile, "Human nature is like water, shaped by things. When it goes into the square, it becomes square, when it goes into the circle, it becomes round. There are very few people who can transcend things and are not disturbed by the world of mortals. Very few.
Even so, you still cannot surrender and should be positive. If the sky is healthy, a gentleman will strive for self-improvement; if the terrain is good, a gentleman will be virtuous.
Do more good deeds, do more good deeds, purify your mind and avoid desires, keep uprightness and eliminate evil, then you can find peace, liberation and great freedom in your heart. "
"That makes sense." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Listening to your teacher is worth ten years of reading."
"I don't dare." Cui Wenzi waved his hand and smiled.
…
Xiang Nan and Cui Wenzi drank a glass of wine and talked about poetry, poetry, and philosophy of life. They had a very interesting conversation.
Although Cui Wenzi is a mortal, his realm is very high. He is not greedy for money, not afraid of life and death, he plays in the mortal world and is free and easy.
Such an open-minded and uninhibited realm of life is really difficult to achieve.
Xiang Nan believes that with his qualifications, he will be able to achieve great success by practicing martial arts or cultivating immortality.
Just like what the sweeping monk said, the higher the level of Buddhism, the faster you can advance in Shaolin martial arts, and you can even learn all the seventy-two unique skills.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan's level of life is not low, but he is not as detached from life and death as Cui Wenzi. He can not care about other aspects at all.
And after all, he has gained thousands of years of experience, and he is really not inferior to Cui Wenzi when talking about Taoism.
As the two chatted, they naturally became more and more in tune with each other, and they felt like drinking with a close friend and a thousand glasses of wine would be too little.
"You look like an old friend of mine." Cui Wenzi looked at Xiang Nan and smiled, "But he doesn't have your ability, nor is he as open-minded and relaxed as you."
Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that he was talking about Yi Xiaochuan after his second time travel.
Yi Xiaochuan spent more than two thousand years in pain. After traveling again, he still couldn't let go of love, hate, greed and obsession, and wanted to change his destiny, so his life was naturally more painful.
In comparison, Xiang Nan was much more relaxed.
"People's troubles often stem from lack of ability." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "With different abilities, when faced with the same dilemma, the mood will naturally be different.
If you stay in the kitchen, you won't be hungry; if you stay in the stream, you won't be thirsty; if you stay in the fire, you won't be cold; if you stay in the snow, you won't be hot. The me in the past is not the me now; the me now is not the me in the future. "
"I see." Cui Wenzi smiled and nodded, "Then I should congratulate you."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "If you see that old friend again one day, please send my regards to him."
"Okay." Cui Wenzi promised with a smile.
