Chapter 176 Mother, When Will You Die?
Chapter 176 Mother, When Will You Die?
The next day, Yinzhen entered the palace and brought with him half a piece of wild boar meat.
Hongzhao also went with Yinzhen. When he heard that his sister had killed a wild boar with her own hands, he was so excited that he wanted to show off to Hongyan and his cousins.
Especially Hongqing, he must be so envious of that weakling.
Hutuli also wanted to go with them. She planned to go to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects to Concubine De. After all, Concubine De often sent her gifts not only during festivals but also on ordinary days, and also asked her to come to the palace more often to accompany the Royal Madam.
Then, Yinzhen entered the palace in a heroic and vigorous manner, carrying his two children with their heads held high and the spoils of war.
Changning burst out laughing.
However, when they came back in the evening, they all looked unhappy.
There were still some tear marks on Hong Zhao's face.
Changning's scalp was about to explode.
"What's going on? Are you fighting again? You didn't fight this time? Impossible! Which brat is your opponent now?"
As a result, Hong Zhao was still immersed in the sad atmosphere and the first thing he said was something.
"Mother, when will you die?"
Changning???
"You little bastard, come here! I think you're really itching for trouble. Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!" Chang Ning was so angry that he couldn't help but want to find a way to get rid of him.
What a filial son!
Then Hongyan and Hutuli hurriedly stopped Changning and explained in a hurry.
"Mother, no, Fei Yang'a said the wrong thing. He doesn't want you to die."
"Okay, okay, please stop saying this word. It's so creepy."
Hutuli pursed his lips and said, "Today we were at the Empress's place in Yonghe Palace, and we received news that the first wife had passed away. Fei Yang'a was frightened."
I see……
Changning understood and stopped hitting people. He quickly held the three children in his arms.
"Okay, don't be afraid. Mother is immortal. Mother is the White Bone Spirit. She will never die in this life."
……
Hutuli was also very sad. It must be said that her mind went blank when she heard the news.
This is different from the last time Mengguqing passed away.
This time the role is "E Niang".
She is the mother of the eldest princess and several sisters of Prince Zhi.
Her first reaction was not why the first wife died, but what would happen to the eldest princess and her sisters? They must be very sad.
Children are soft-hearted, and I have to say, they all felt a little sympathetic. The three children in the car just looked at each other, and no one said anything.
Yinzhen was also thinking about things and had no time to counsel the children. He thought Yaoxian should be able to solve the problem, and if not, he would come again.
Unexpectedly, Changning's words burned the children's CPUs.
The previous sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Hongzhao's thoughts also followed Changning.
"Mother, if you die, you will turn into the White Bone Demon. What about me? Can I turn into Sun Wukong?"
"You are now Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong also has to write big characters. Have you finished writing ten pieces of big characters today?"
"..."
Hutuli also whispered: "What about me? Can humans really become immortals? Can I still be my mother's child in heaven?"
This last sentence almost brought Changning to tears. Her daughter is like a little cotton-padded jacket.
Unexpectedly, Hong Zhao said, "But the daughter of the White Bone Demon is also the White Bone Demon, right? Not a fairy. And the White Bone Demon will be killed by Sun Wukong, sister, then you will be killed by me again."
Hutuli was so angry that he jumped up and down, twisting Hongzhao's ear: "You little bastard, I think you are itching for trouble! Where are your pimples?!"
"Okay, okay." This time it was Changning's turn to mediate.
Okay, Yinzhen, who was eavesdropping at the door, looked helpless and doting, and the topic was going off the track.
After the four mothers and their children had been cuddling together for a while, they had some snacks together. Eating desserts can make people feel better.
The children were no longer sad at all. They ate the cream rolls with their eyes narrowed with smiles.
Hong Zhao was still immersed in the fantasy of becoming Sun Wukong, and was very excited: "Mother, do you think I can still go to the West to obtain scriptures after I become Sun Wukong? Can I just do a somersault?"
Chang Ning thought about it but didn't answer. Hong Yan said to him first: "Then you will continue to be suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Finger Mountain."
Hong Zhao thought about it and couldn't help trembling: "Forget it, I can't stand being suppressed for five hundred years. I can't even eat delicious snacks." Then a new question popped up, "Then how does he go to the bathroom? Just poop in his pants? After five hundred years, it won't work..."
Before he could finish, Hutuli gave him a slap on the face: "We are eating! Stop talking nonsense here. It's disgusting."
Seeing the children laughing, Changning breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the children were not that sensitive and had big hearts. However, when facing educational issues like death, we still need to take it seriously.
So before the three kids were ready to rest, Changning still gave them some guidance.
"Have you all read Zhuangzi?" Changning asked.
The three children nodded in unison.
"Life cannot be turned away when it comes, and it cannot be stopped when it goes. Why?"
Hongyan was the first to explain: “The arrival of life is irresistible, and once it leaves, it cannot be retained.”
After hearing these words, the three children's faces drooped.
Sure enough, there was still a knot in his heart. Changning nodded: "One point for Hongyan, the translation is correct."
"I use the heaven and earth as my coffin, the sun and moon as my jade pendants, the stars as my pearls, and all things as my gifts. Why?"
This time it was Hutuli who answered first: "I regard the heaven and earth as my coffin, the sun, moon and stars as my jewels, and all things as my burial objects."
Chang Ning nodded: "Zhuangzi has long told us the truth. Even leaving is not a terrible thing. People who leave will disappear again between heaven and earth. Everything in heaven and earth has a soul."
Children are very receptive to the ancients' teachings. In their view, the knowledge in books is correct and true. If it is the teaching in books, then it must be true.
From this perspective, there is nothing to be afraid of death.
Chang Ning saw that their expressions had calmed down, and then he continued, "The living are just passers-by, and the dead are returning home. The world is just a temporary inn, and we all grieve for the eternal dust. Life and death repeat themselves over and over again, it's just a natural cycle. As long as there are people thinking about them, their spirits will always be there. The world is so big, and people are so insignificant."
It’s so profound… The children suddenly felt that their mother was so amazing and looked at her with admiration.
Changning was a little amused and confused. She didn't expect the children to understand much. No matter how smart they were, they were ultimately limited by their lack of life experience.
It’s just that education has a lag.
She hopes that the lessons she shared tonight will give her children strength one day when they grow up.
Then the next step is to coax the children.
"When people die, they become stars."
Hong Zhao curled his lips: "Mother is lying again." He knew that what she said just now about turning into Sun Wukong was all a lie.
"Really not. Otherwise, how do you think the stars in the sky came from?"
Faced with Changning's question, Hongzhao was speechless. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.
