Chapter 82: Wang Li was rejected, let go of his persistence
"You should also sit down. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you. You were the first to shout in the city yesterday, and I noticed it."
Ma Shi sat opposite Wang Li, "I was...well, I went into the city to buy a coffin for my mother, and suddenly it got dark. I thought I was going to die, but I wasn't afraid, I just felt like this
It's good that the family can be together again. But I immediately saw the words in the sky. I only recognized one or two. I only heard others read them out, so I knew there were Shushan disciples. I'm not trying to flatter you.
When I heard that, I immediately thought of you!"
Wang Li also laughed: "It seems that I have always been very powerful in your heart?"
"That's right!" Ma Shixiao said, "Although you look young, a little younger than my brother, over the past few days, you have made me feel like a fairy. And to tell you the truth, I
Having been a guide for so long, I can be considered observant and can always keep my guests happy. But you are different. Over the past few days, I found that you basically have no expression no matter when and where you are. It seems that you
It’s neither angry nor smiling. It’s really elusive. It feels like a unique big shot. It reminds me of a sentence I heard before, what is it called... Taishan collapses without changing his expression? "
"Yes."
"The Book of Quan·Min Shu": In order to be a general, you must first cure your heart. If Mount Tai collapses in front but does not change its color, if an elk rises on the left but does not blink its eyes, then you can control your advantages and disadvantages and wait for the enemy.
"Hey, actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm quite lucky. I worked as a guide for the Shushan Sword Immortal who protected the entire Anping City for three days. I'll be proud of myself until the day I die of old age."
When Wang Li heard this, his heart relaxed slightly. Since Ma Shi was talking about the future, he shouldn't have committed suicide. He said: "I am indeed a disciple of Shushan, but I am not a swordsman. I am just a swordsman. To be called an immortal, at least.
To survive the catastrophe."
Ma Shi said: "Then I don't understand. But for common people like me, the method you used to kill demons yesterday was beyond imagination. From now on, it's not just me."
, the people of the entire Anping Prefecture will always remember your kindness from generation to generation."
Wang Li's smile weakened slightly, feeling inadequate.
In the Shushan Region, the Shushan Immortal Sect is the largest. It not only has the most strength and power, but also has the most responsibility.
Shushan cannot absolve itself of the blame for what happened at Yunyu Pavilion, and Wang Li will not and cannot shirk the blame.
At least, the city lord, guarding his disciples and the rebellion of the land, traces its origins and is still in Shu Mountain.
"Shushan bears unshirkable responsibility for what happened yesterday. As a disciple of Shushan, I can only say that I have fulfilled my own obligations. I dare not and should not accept the gratitude and kindness of the people."
Ma Shi immediately shook his head: "You are too modest. In fact, in this world, whether you should do something is one thing, and whether you do it is another matter. Just like an official, he originally wanted to be an official.
He does things, but if he does a good job, the people will naturally appreciate his kindness and even make him an umbrella for all people. We really don’t understand any big principles and have never read any books, but we know that repaying a favor is also a representative thing.
It has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one understands it.”
Wang Li smiled again, feeling that what Ma Shi said was reasonable.
Then, he gave up the small talk and went straight to the point: "Do you want to practice?"
Ma Shi was stunned.
Wang Li continued: "I don't know how to judge other people's talents, but I think that the way to practice is to focus on character and understanding. The former determines the speed, and the latter determines the length. If your character is not bad, even if you are short of talent, you can still do it.
Something has been accomplished.”
Ma Shi's face turned slightly red, whether from shyness or excitement, but he soon gave the answer.
"Sir, can I ask you a question?"
"You said."
"Is there really reincarnation in this world?"
"Yes!" If it was in the previous life, he might have hesitated, but now there was no need for it.
When Ma Shi heard this, he suddenly smiled a little freely: "Then I'd better not go to practice. Originally, I knew that my brother's death was abnormal, and I should go to practice and take revenge, but you have already avenged me, and you also He saved my life again. Now, I just want to live my whole life. When I die, maybe I can see my mother and my brother in the underworld, or after being reincarnated, we can be a family again."
Wang Li: "You can also practice cultivation. You may be able to find the reincarnations of your mother and your brother, and then bring them to your side and reunite the family."
Ma Shi thought for a while, but still shook his head: "Sir, you are right, that is indeed good, but I think they will definitely forget me after reincarnation. Didn't they say they want to cross Naihe Bridge and drink Meng Po soup? I was still me at that time, but they were no longer them. This is not good, why not reincarnate together."
"When you practice to the depths, your true spirit awakens, your soul goes back, and you can naturally remember your past life."
"Sir, may I ask if this is easy?"
Wang Li pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "It's not easy. Even if you become an immortal, you may not be able to completely remember your past life."
Ma Shi smiled and said: "That's it. Instead of pursuing such illusory things, it's better to reincarnate honestly."
"After reincarnation, we may be separated from each other."
"Sir, I think our family will still be together." Ma Shi paused and then added firmly: "We will definitely!"
Wang Li couldn't help but remain silent.
He thought that his trip would successfully introduce Ma Shi to Shushan, because it was impossible for Ma Shi not to know what Shushan meant. But he never thought that Ma Shi would reject him for such a reason.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ma Shi's move may have been a rejection of the immortal fate that he had gained by accumulating merit over several reincarnations.
Many people may have listened to Wang Li's words and rushed into the practice of immortality. They vowed to bring their families out of reincarnation and tried every means to help them awaken their true spirits and recall their past lives, so that the family could enjoy a family relationship again.
But Ma Shi didn't. He gave up the most likely but not least difficult path and chose another path that was less likely but not least difficult.
The two are obviously not equivalent.
Why?
Wang Li asked with his eyes.
Ma Shi received it, and he turned his head and looked around, constantly scanning the narrow, dimly lit cabin.
"Sir, I always remember that my mother told me that we are very poor, so we have to work hard."
Wang Li nodded: "You worked hard and did a great job."
Ma Shi smiled and added: "Later, my mother said that she didn't want me to ignore everything and just keep my head down and work hard, but she wanted to tell me that I must first recognize and accept the fact that I am poor.
…
Wang Li left.
Before leaving, he left some money behind. After some words, Ma Shi accepted it willingly and gratefully.
This time it was not out of pity, nor the compensation he should make as a disciple of Shushan, but even more because he received a teaching from a mortal named Ma Shi.
Ma Shi also has an obsession with his family, but his obsession is different from others. It actually includes "letting go" that many people know very well but cannot practice at all.
In fact, persistence and letting go are not completely opposite.
Like yin and yang.
In addition, how many people in this world can really understand and accept their own shortcomings and shortcomings? Everyone is always pursuing the "best" in the public sense, but forgets or even doesn't realize that they should take time out to
Adjust and make up for your "bad".
The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than enough damage. This is not the case with the way of man: when there is not enough damage, there is more than enough.
Wang Li felt that he was right. Ma Shi was indeed very enlightened, and at least he had the foundation for entering and enlightening the Tao.
However, you shouldn’t force yourself into anything, and you shouldn’t pretend to be doing good for the other party on the surface, but in fact do things that force you to do so.
Thinking of this, Wang Li shook his head regretfully. Immediately, his body melted with sword light and he soared into the sky with his sword.
Although the matter has ended, not all questions have been answered.
For example: Where is Du Xiaoyu's princess, and which era, which dynasty and which king is the city god? These two people conceal their relationship with each other. Is it for the so-called cave or another conspiracy, which requires Du Xiaoyu's essence, blood and Yuan?
What is the cave opened by God, where is it, and what is there?
Du Xiaoyu should have been interrogated with these questions, but compared to the above questions, Wang Li did not want her to continue to live because of this.
When someone comes from the underworld, he will be able to know the past of the City God, and he will be able to know everything about his lifetime by tracing his origins.
Besides, not all the skeletons in Yunyu Pavilion were broken.
Du County is located in the north of Anping Prefecture, about three hundred miles away from Anping Prefecture, and can be reached in a quarter of an hour from Yujian.
The towering sword light fell from the sky like thunder and landed on a hill ten miles away from the southern suburbs of Duxian County.
Wang Li opened his sword pupil, and the white gold was as sharp as looking at fire.
After a few moments, he blinked and withdrew his sword light, then threw a wreckage in front of him.
Not even three breaths had passed before an angry scolding sound erupted.
"Thief! I'll kill you!" This chapter has been completed!
