It's like going back many years ago, a time that can no longer be traced back.
This has been a long, long time. Although Ah Qi is extremely talented and is much better than the team in studying "Yanshi Lu", it still takes tens of thousands of years to reach his level, which is comparable to the late stage of Nirvana.
Tens of thousands of years, thousands of springs and autumns, there are hundreds of lives in the mortal world. The thoughts and guilt of these hundreds of lives are deeply imprinted in the memory and have never dissipated.
"I have no heart, let alone soul. Over the years, I have only relied on my obsession. I have forgotten who I was back then, and I am not sure whether I still have feelings for my sister. Only when I come back here again will I truly know,
It turns out I’m still the same.”
"The blood flows in the body, circulates in the heart along the blood vessels, feels the thumping of the heart, and is filled with joy, and looks at the dusty journey, obviously weak, but with a strong smile
Sister."
Ah Qi looked at the woman lying on the bed and whispered to herself. Her voice was so low that it was not even louder than the buzz of a mosquito, for fear of waking the woman up.
In the house, a light suddenly lit up. There were fireworks burning brightly in the house, dispersing the moisture in the air. As a result, the air in the house became dry, and the coldness like ice on the palms of the fallen flowers was also in the fireworks.
, gradually disappear.
Ah Qi's small hands held the woman's hand and felt the warmth coming from her palms. It was like the warmth of the heart under the spring sun in March.
"Sister, do you want to stay here forever?" Ah Qi murmured, and suddenly saw a smile on the woman on the bed. Perhaps she was dreaming of joy in her dream, or perhaps she was responding to his answer.
.
Ah Qi laughed, looking at the woman's face that was warmed by the fireworks, her face was focused and her eyes were full of tenderness.
He suddenly felt that if he could keep looking at his sister like this, holding her hand, and accompanying her, then even being here for eternity would be worthwhile.
Ah Qi just watched the flowers fall quietly, the smile on her lips never diminished, and the warmth on her face never dissipated.
He looked at it for a long, long time. He never moved, not even a slight blink at the corner of his eye.
The sun sets in the west, dusk comes, and the sunset fills the sky. In the distance, there are undulating clouds and wild geese flying by.
The sound of bells and the sound of geese sounded melodiously, echoing in this surrounding area. On the mountain in the distance, there was a dilapidated temple.
The lingering sound of the bell came from there.
Although that temple is dilapidated, it is not majestic. But in the past, a bell began to ring and echoed slowly, announcing the beginning of a new day. The disappearance of a bell was the end of a day.
Once upon a time, when the morning sun was rising, a fiery red corner appeared in the eastern sky, shining the first ray of sunshine on the world. On the mountain road of that mountain, people would walk along the mountain road steps to the temple, holding incense in their hands, and praying before the Buddha.
I prayed devoutly in front of you, praying for good health and good weather every day.
Then as time passed, the monks in the temple were no longer there, and no one took care of the temple. It was dilapidated to this day. Originally, Hua Luo wanted to live there, but she heard that there was a child in the village who was like herself.
I have no one to rely on, so I came here to find someone to accompany me.
The adults were still busy harvesting rice, so naturally only the children from the village broke into the deserted temple and rang the bells.
The sound of the bell sounded loudly, as if it was being sent to all directions along the purple clouds, revolving thousands of times and ringing in the air.
Ah Qi came outside the house and looked at the bright red, surrounded by purple. At this time, it was perfectly round and radiant. It pierced the eyes and was like a dream, so unreal. It was like being in a dream like a gauze.
As time goes by, the sunset gradually approaches the horizon, and the rays of light spread from the horizon, rendering the clouds on the horizon into one color.
Although, the autumn wind blows through the dusk, and the fiery red leaves are scattered all over the ground, just like the sunset, it is blooming its last beauty...
But at this moment, it seemed like it was frozen in eternity.
The leaf on the tree outside the courtyard is alone on the branch. Where it is, it is just regarded as an insignificant and ordinary leaf. The last leaf on a tree. Normally, it can be seen alone.
For a long time, I thought of myself.
Is it the same as myself, looking up at the dark red of the horizon? Longing, waiting, the next year's leaves will grow again on the branches.
Even if it is a leaf, caressed by the breeze, cuddling together, it is quietly beautiful, and it can pass through this world gently. A longing can be chased to the end of the world, to the end of the sky, to the end of the earth.
It means someone will accompany you to the end of the world, this is a lifetime.
Ah Qi raised his head, looking at the burning horizon in the distance, listening to the long bells.
This sound kept reverberating in his ears, endlessly. It seemed that the place where the bell resounded was not in the vast world outside the courtyard, but in his heart.
Ah Qi even had a feeling that the moment Hua Luo came here, the bell would definitely ring, and it would ring for him alone.
After a long time, the sky finally darkened, and the bell gradually subsided and could no longer be heard. Ah Qi lowered his head, withdrew his eyes, and took a deep breath.
The air outside the house followed the wind, and the moist breath of the mountains poured into his heart. A rare look of satisfaction slowly appeared on his face. However, this satisfaction only stayed for a while, and soon, in his
Complexity appeared on his face again.
Satisfied, complex, repeated.
When Ah Qi turned to look at the woman behind him, his expression became even more complicated. He had been waiting for the day when this woman would appear in front of him in this posture. Just like before.
Just mentioning the word "once" always makes people's eyes redden. The sea of "once" has never been restored, and neither can everything.
Although they are not in heaven or on earth, and will never meet again, they are not the same selves after all. They can't hear each other's real smiles, feel the warmth in their palms, and can't hear each other's heartbeats.
In the past, in the early spring, everything began to revive. Ah Qi was flying a kite in the fields in front of the falling flowers, in the spring breeze, holding a string with her little hands, and amidst laughter. After all, that child, after several years of happiness, became his own child.
After Hua Luo came, his life was full of joy.
The children of the past grew up happily into teenagers, but after all, this was only the past. As time passed, the face was stained with the dust of the years. The sadness of things changing and people changing made every breath feel as fast as the top of a mountain, including
That every memory.
"Flowers bloom and fall. Flowers bloom and fall. Why do these flowers bloom so beautifully and amaze the world? Why do they still fall?"
"If what happened back then had not happened, the flowers would have continued to fall. I don't know whose family the flowers would have fallen to in the end, or who would have been amazed for years." Ah Qi let out a long sigh.
The sky is gradually getting dark, and it will be completely dark within the time of a meal. On this hill, in this small courtyard, there are low walls, green and yellow pear trees covered with green leaves, and this thatched cottage.
How can we avoid the traces left by this night?
There was darkness everywhere, and footsteps could be heard not far away.
It was dinner time again. Ah Qi knew who the owner of the footsteps was. It was Aunt Guo who had come to deliver dinner at noon.
Ah Qi reached out and waved his hand, and the lights in the room were bright and dimmed instantly. Inside, there was no light, he couldn't see his fingers, and he couldn't see the woman inside.
His appearance has not changed anymore, because he is still the same as a child at this moment. There is no need to change at all.
He carefully walked into the house, took out the bowl he had washed after lunch, and handed it to Aunt Guo along with the bamboo basket, and took the new bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket was heavy, much heavier than at noon. After Aunt Guo left, Ah Qi walked into the house quietly again.
He placed the bamboo basket on the table, and a fire was lit again in the room. However, this fire was not as strong as the previous one. Instead, a few firewoods were burning beside the bed, illuminating the surrounding area.
Although the fireworks at this moment are small, they are enough to keep the flowers warm.
Ah Qi opened the bamboo basket. Immediately, the aroma of vegetables hit his face. When he saw the inside of the bamboo basket, he finally understood why it was heavier than at noon.
Two bowls of porridge, four steamed buns, a bowl of lettuce and a small plate of pickles
There is only Ah Qi, so there is no need for two bowls of porridge. There is no need for four steamed buns. For him who is only five years old, only one is enough.
"I had forgotten that back then, the woman named Hua Luo came to my family. I heard that there was a poor child in this village whose parents died early. I remember that back then, they kept giving us gifts for many days.
When we arrived, every household gave us rice to help us." Ah Qi looked at the sleeping woman lying on the bed and spoke softly.
The woman is really too tired. This drowsy sleep is destined to last for a long time. It will definitely be difficult to wake up tonight. Maybe she will be woken up by hunger in the middle of the night.
"Sister, will I wake up from hunger tonight?" Ah Qi murmured.
Here, he has never forgotten who he is or why he came here. He wanted to leave early, but he was thousands of miles away, or even thousands of miles away, and even further away. Sister A finally came here. This is Ah Qi
It's unexpected, but it's also expected.
"Are you the elder sister here, or the elder sister who has been with me to this day?" Ah Qi was lost in her thoughts.
From the moment he first appeared here, he saw himself transformed into what he looked like when he was five years old, back to the flesh and blood he once was.
Returning to the first moment, Ah Qi already knew that he was back. Going back to the past was the past.
He had a premonition the moment he jumped down from the cliff of thousands of mountains of bones.
This premonition was indeed true. When he landed, he appeared in this hill, in this familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard.
He didn't have the slightest doubt, and entered this scene naturally. Because he was originally Ah Qi, and Ah Qi was originally him. The only difference was the age.
"Is this the place of sinking..." Ah Qi smiled, nodded, and said to himself: "This second difficulty is not difficult for some people, and can be overcome at any time. But
For some people, it is as difficult as reaching the sky."
"The persistence of feelings is unforgettable and has become a demon. Then, it is the place of sinking. The reason for sinking lies in the human heart."
"There are tens of millions of people in this world, and everyone's birth and personality are very different. Naturally, they treat feelings differently. Some people are affectionate, and naturally some are dedicated. Some people like to play with other people's feelings, so there must be others who treat feelings well.
Persistence and single-mindedness.”
"There are millions of people in this world who all have attachments and wishes. This comes from childhood and is born in the bottom of my heart."
"Then, it takes root and sprouts. Most people only take root and sprout for a short period of time, and then die young. Only a few people can grow into towering trees."
"Our cultivation, when we set foot in the world of cultivation, all that emerges is immortality and immortality."
"It's just... they lost to reality. In the end, the blazing fireworks in their hearts were extinguished by the torrent of reality. Finally, they were completely extinguished. They searched everywhere for a panacea and just wanted to live a few more years.
.After all, we are too far away from immortality, and there is no hope.”
"After all, only a few will grow into towering trees. But after they complete their original wishes, they will have new wishes. These wishes will eventually change again and again."
"People's hearts are greedy after all. They will not be satisfied with the status quo. But often only this kind of people will not sink. Because they are just thirsty. If they want to save their own lives, they will definitely give up new wishes.
.”
"Because for them, even if their wishes are few, they can still change. Because their wishes are never-ending, and there is only one life." The young man was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and looked outside the room.
An autumn rain in the early morning washed away the dust, making the air today very fresh. It was thousands of miles long and unstained by dust. Whether it was the blue sky or the sunset, it was brighter than ever.
At this time, when the night falls and everyone is quiet, everything on the earth is preparing to fall asleep. Including those hard-working people.
They have been busy for a whole day and most of them are tired. While cooking, they boil a pot of hot water. After eating, they wipe themselves down and turn off the lights to sleep. Some of them who are energetic may even do it with their partners.
Some love life.
The lights in each room were turned off one after another. This is often the case in autumn. The cool weather and fatigue make people fall asleep more easily.
The sky is as clean as water, the moon is like water from the sky, and it seems like a beauty wearing a veil has been lifted up, so what appears in front of people is bright eyes and white teeth, bright and elegant, exuding gentle light.
The treetops swayed slightly under the moonlight, and the pears swayed gently, like wind chimes in the wind.
Ah Qi looked at the bright moon. Tonight, the moon is not missing, people are not leaving, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Tonight is the full moon that has been waiting for a long, long time.
It's just that these flowers are like flowers and the moon is full, but they are just flowers in the mirror. Sooner or later they will be gone, and sooner or later they will disappear.
"Want to think, wish to think. When the first wish is fulfilled, you will feel the taste of success. Then, it will come one by one. This is not persistence, it is just greed."
"True persistence means that there are countless choices, and you have to choose one. Just like three thousand people drowning, they only need one gourd to drink. For those people, this gourd of drink is their life. If one is missing, they are missing.
Life. For those people, it doesn’t matter even if they sacrifice their lives to make up for it.”
"This second difficulty is really a huge irony." Ah Qi's face showed sadness, and he let out a long sigh, making the whole courtyard feel empty and quiet.
"Those who are obsessed with obsession are obsessed with that. In this place of sinking, they can only sink deeply and cannot extricate themselves. They are willing to sink here forever for that persistent thing. And those who keep changing their wishes, as long as they
If you give it up, you can escape completely."
"This second difficulty is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say that it is simple. If we say that there are tens of millions of monks in this world, ninety-nine times can break through here, but only that number cannot break through." Ah Qi.
He stretched out his hand, picked up the spoon and took a sip of the porridge. The warm rice went into his throat. After all, the freshly beaten rice was sweet.
"For me, this place tastes just like this porridge, and everything is sweet. I thought I could leave this place without any heart or soul."
"But after meeting my sister, I was totally wrong. Here, I am a person, a real person, with flesh and blood, a beating heart, and can see the beauty of all things and feel it clearly.
See the tenderness on my sister’s body and the warmth in her palms.”
"Master said, this is a real world. It is not an illusion or a dream. It is a real world. The people we meet are real old friends. They have their own lives and their own lives.
Story. It seems that everything is re-circulating and returning to the past." Ah Qi let out a long sigh, and then took a deep breath. "This is a sacred place. After Master studied deeply, he was shocked and frightened. It seemed like
Someone has mastered reincarnation. How many people have been able to do such a big move and such a big method from ancient times to the present? This is the place where the extremely resentful clone suppresses, so it must be involved with Donghua Immortal King." "It's just, Donghua
Although the Immortal King has shocked the past and present, with his strength, can he really do it? Create something out of nothing, bring life to life?" "This is a big trick, a big deal. I'm afraid even Han Xiangzi and others who have passed through this place are not aware of it.
This is not an illusion or a dream. The reality here is terrible, because it is real. But to them, it is just a discarded thing. As for Nazejin Tianzun, his persistence is probably not the Martial Ancestor.
" Ah Qi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke again. " Donghua Immortal King is extremely powerful, and the legend is comparable to taboo. But I am afraid that such a big deal is still not possible. Master's guess is also close to that one
..." "Only that one... has the strength to make such a shocking feat. At the cost of being better than all the living beings in a vast city, with their bones piled up thousands of mountains.
The earth is vast, and their souls, as the endless flow of this world, condense their wishes and obsessions, and condense the obsessions in the hearts of those who have strong obsessions when they step into this place."
"This second difficulty, for me, is difficult but not difficult. Because this is the real world. Everything I see and hear is true. Sister, in her sleep, is also true. The sweetness she tastes is also true.
real."
Ah Qi smiled, and the complexity in his eyes disappeared. He was willing to sink here.
"Does Fellow Taoist Lingbao have any attachments? If so, what is his only attachment in life?"
