Who is Dongfang Fan? Where does he come from? Where does he want to go? What mission does he shoulder?
If it were Dongfang Fan in the past, he would not have considered these issues at all. All he wanted to do was live for his own freedom; however, as more and more people around him became more and more detailed, he knew more and more details, and what was needed
There were more and more people and things to worry about. He always thought that he had abandoned the past and it was enough to just hold on to the freedom of the present.
However, Dongfang Fan, a person who is so obsessed with himself, will naturally have doubts about his own existence after learning that he is someone else's clone, which will lead to many ideas and questions; in the past few years, Dongfang Fan
He has been letting himself change, making himself less obsessed with himself, and letting himself transcend the scope of his heart, because only in this way can he concentrate on doing the current things without thinking about the meaning of his existence.
Life is endless and passed down from generation to generation, but Dongfang Fan has no source to follow, which is not much different from Sun Monkey's meaning of jumping out of a stone.
"I am a life form cloned with genes from another world... Now this world has forgotten my existence... To be honest, I am indeed not a human being on Earth... If I had known this fact earlier...
...Maybe I will accept my fate and stay in the laboratory as a clone all my life, as I should do..."
"I opened the door to the two worlds in my own way and implemented the method of saving the world. Isn't it my own will? Am I wrong? Am I being meddlesome? How can I talk about it when I don't even know the meaning of my existence?
To save the world and humanity?”
Dongfang Fan's heart was shaken. He thought that as long as he suppressed the doubts in his heart, he could stay away from confusion. However, he did not know that escape could not solve the knot in his heart. In the end, it would only pile up the doubts in his heart into a mountain. When these doubts exploded, they formed
The irresistible demonic obstacle - at this moment, half of Dongfang Fan's foot has already stepped into the demonic land!
"Such a powerful demonic nature, I'm getting more and more curious about you... What kind of past do you have to have such a powerful inner demon?" The Ice White Walker looked surprised for the first time, then smiled and raised his left thumb
Together with the middle finger, he secretly controls the blade of the soul-summoning sword in Dongfang Fan's hand. A trace of blood-colored mist wraps around Dongfang Fan's arm and blends into it bit by bit...
…
Three nine-level altars are arranged in a glyph formation. A five or six-year-old child, a young man in his early twenties, and a gray-haired old man stand on the three altars respectively.
Among them, the young man opened his eyes, a pair of blood-colored pupils looking at the darkness around him with endless confusion, and the strangeness——
"Where is this? Why am I here? Who am I?"
Just as the young man was questioning, the white-haired old man opened his eyes, the same pair of blood-colored pupils, but there was no trace of confusion in his eyes. Instead, he revealed a sense of indifference, calmness and indifference.
"This is the starting point and the end of everything...where you are destined to be, you are here...you are you, but you are not just you."
The young man muttered what the old man said, seeming to understand, but not understanding, just like the feeling in his heart at this moment: it seemed to be full of something, but it also seemed to be empty...
"Why am I not just me? What else am I? Who are you?" the young man asked again.
At this time, the child opened his eyes, and his eyes were still red and bleeding.
"You are you, you are me, you are him, people have you, me and him, and others are you and me."
The young man didn't understand that what the old man and the child said seemed to be similar, but there were subtle differences in their fundamentals. Besides being confused, he was still confused.
The old man said: "The way of heaven is benevolent, and good and evil are reincarnated; the way of heaven is not benevolent, and humans are rotten dogs."
Child: "There is a Buddhist saying: form is emptiness, emptiness is color; emptiness and color have no boundaries, and the mind and body are peaceful. This is called Zen state."
Young man: “Why can’t I understand what you are saying?”
The old man: "You have a devilish heart, you live against the Tao, and you go against heaven."
Child: "There is a devil in your heart. The devil is born in the mind and the evil is formed in the mind."
Young man: "Demon? What is a demon? What is the Tao? What is a Buddha?"
The old man: "The devil is also Tao, and the Tao is also demon."
Child: "The devil is also a Buddha, and the Buddha is also a devil."
The young man was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't understand. If the devil doesn't understand the way of heaven and the Buddha, why is he the way of heaven and the Buddha at the same time?"
The old man: "The Dao mind, the devil's mind, and the Buddha's mind are all different."
Child: "Principles, magic principles, Buddhist principles, all principles come from the same source."
The young man began to feel a headache, his feet were unsteady, and he slowly sat down cross-legged. He had no choice but to have a splitting headache. Everything in the past of "Dongfang Fan" kept appearing in his mind. At this moment, he felt as if he had lived a whole life again, with all kinds of mixed feelings and thoughts in his heart.
Turbulent and difficult to calm down.
"Who are you?" the old man asked.
"I am Dongfang Fan." Dongfang Fan replied.
"Are you a human or a demon?" the child asked.
"My body exists against the way of heaven, and I am a devil; my heart lives in accordance with Zen principles, and I am a human... Therefore, I am a human and a demon, neither a human nor a demon." Dongfang Fan's mind began to clear up, and the memory experiences of his two lives allowed him to
Some things are seen lightly and clearly.
"What is the way of heaven?" The old man asked Dongfang Fan dully.
"Ruthlessness is Heaven, desirelessness is Tao, heartlessness and desirelessness are the Tao of Heaven."
"What is Zen?" The child smiled and asked again, stroking his palms.
"No-self is Zen, no-phase is the principle, no-self and no phase is the principle of Zen."
"Being ruthless and desireless is the urgent need of being a demon; being without self and form is the urgent need of being a human being - the ultimate supreme being, being without self and being ruthless."
At this moment, Dongfang Fan's heart was clear. The past self (child) and the future self (old man) merged into the original body, restoring Dongfang Fan's original mental state.
A few short questions and answers allowed Dongfang Fan to get to know himself again. After facing the nature of his own existence, he chose to accept the facts, and then...
"puff!"
In reality, Dongfang Fan suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of scarlet. Instantly, his black hair was as white as snow, and his hair was as white as snow. Against the skin on his body, the scarlet in his eyes looked particularly eye-catching.
The summoning soul is still in his hand, but the ice ghost in front of him has disappeared. In the test of the inner demon, Dongfang Fan chooses to give up his sword realm based on the sword demon lineage - to re-understand the sword!
That scarlet mouth was caused by the internal injury that destroyed the foundation of swordsmanship. At this time, Dongfang Fan no longer had inner demons and sword demons. Even though he possessed the most complete sword law in the world, he could only start from scratch again.
The Sword Light Realm is cultivated.
"The White Walker is nowhere to be seen... He didn't take advantage of me to kill me when I was encountering my inner demon... Could it be!" Dongfang Fan was startled. The space magic circle appeared from under his feet, and his figure instantly disappeared on top of the ruins.
In the Snow King City, in Villa No. 1009 of Hakodate Restaurant, Dongfang Fan, who had returned, gathered all the relevant people, including the Yamato brothers.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Dongfang was the one who brought up the imperial capital in these years. I originally thought that someone who could bring up an imperial capital in a situation like Japan's main island must not be an ordinary person. Now that I think about it, there are indeed very few people in the world who can do that.
People who have reached such a situation." Yamato Ryuichi praised, Dongfang Fan's return is a great good thing for the Ice and Snow King City.
"Brother Long Yi said something serious. Basically, I just added fuel to the flames... But I feel guilty for not telling you two about me in the past few years." Dongfang Fan apologized. Only Dongfang Fan knew about this matter at the beginning.
There are only three of them, Bi Luo, Jiang Meina and Ma Fan.
Neither of the Yamato brothers cared about this. In fact, over the years, they had only thought of the possibility that Dongfang Fan was not dead, but they had never said it out loud. They believed that if Dongfang Fan was not dead and did not show up, then he would definitely
It makes sense.
Just one month after Dongfang Fan returned, four of the seven nobles returned to the Ice and Snow King City to seek refuge: They all originally went to seek refuge in the imperial capital, hoping to obtain higher status and rights, but it turned out that the imperial capital's
The overall strength is far inferior to that of Ice and Snow City, and the local nobles in the imperial capital are very resistant to them. In just half a month, three of the seven noble families became slaves because they inexplicably violated the laws of the imperial capital.
After the remaining four noble families made up their minds, they met to escape from the imperial capital, hoping to return to the Ice and Snow King City, where at least they could get the respect they deserved.
However, the Ice and Snow King City is no longer the same one when they left...
Dongfang Fan's return is a hope for the Ice and Snow King City. The reform did not make it difficult for the four nobles to return, and even reserved their rights to participate in important meetings. In the next year, Dongfang Fan and Dongfang Biluo worked together.
Working together with each other, Dongfang Fan gradually discovered that Dongfang Biluo had made considerable progress in administrative matters, and he seemed to have the courage of a superior. His unsmiling expression was no longer the same Dongfang Biluo. Within this year, the two of them did not even communicate with each other.
More than ten sentences.
This year, all the matters that should be dealt with have been dealt with perfectly. From now on, the Ice and Snow King City will be able to cope with any crisis even without Dongfang Fan in charge. He knows: the time has come to leave.
On this day, Dongfang Fanyi summoned all high-level personnel to the conference room in the name of the Ice and Snow Queen Dongfang Biluo, and put forward a clear idea at the beginning——
"It has been seven years, from Yamato Castle to Ice and Snow King Castle. I believe that everyone who has witnessed the growth of this city can't help but sigh. However, when the song ends and everyone parted, all the feasts in the world parted - now, it's time to say goodbye.
It’s time.”
Dongfang Fan glanced at the forty-odd senior figures present. All of them were heroes who had shed their blood on the front lines. In the past year, he assigned the territory of the royal city to these people for management. At this time, the entire royal city
The management system is already quite complete.
"Tonight, I will leave the Royal City and hand over the power that originally belonged to you from now on. Whether the Royal City surrenders to the Imperial Capital or remains independent in the future, I will no longer care. I will not take away any plant or tree in the Royal City.
One soldier."
After explaining his purpose, Dongfang Fan immediately assigned various matters. Although many people wanted to keep him, they were rejected.
After the meeting, Dongfang Fan took Dongfang Biluo to the city wall of Hakodate Port and looked at the sea.
"Bi Luo, you have changed a lot over the years. Such changes are a good thing for you... In the royal city, your presence symbolizes supreme authority... I don't want to forcefully change anyone's destiny, so
...If you want to stay and continue to be king, I will support you."
Dongfang Fan's words fell into Dongfang Biluo's ears, but her expression did not change in any way...
"People will always change... During the three years when you were away, I never told anyone what was in my heart... I waited for three years and held it in for three years... I almost went crazy holding it in... Later, I
Discovered: As long as you close your heart, you won’t think too much..."
"In the year since you came back...I have always wanted to return to my previous self...but, I can't..."
Dongfang Biluo, dressed in royal robes, turned around and walked away, leaving at the end: "Wait for me at the top of Hakodate Mountain at eight o'clock in the evening."
…
At eight o'clock that night, Dongfang Fan went to the top of Hakodate Mountain alone. Standing here alone, he looked at the scenery at the foot of the mountain and fell into deep thought: Did he do something wrong?
At this moment, there was a movement behind him. Judging from the characteristics of the footsteps, it was Dongfang Biluo who was coming.
Dongfang Fan turned around and took a look, and the sight was stunning: the heavy royal robe was gone, and she was wearing a breezy white dress. The innocent smile on her face reappeared the innocence of the past - her heavy heart let go of the weight that should not have been borne by her.
, relieved of the responsibilities that should not have been borne by her.
"Master, I kept you waiting~!" Dongfang Biluo trotted forward, stood in front of Dongfang Fan, and smiled playfully.
"It's worth the wait." Dongfang Fan also smiled.
"Master, do you remember when Xiaoling introduced us to Mount Hakodate when we first arrived? At that time, I thought: It would be great if I could watch such a night view with you... After the master left, I felt a lot
Standing in this position for the first time and looking at the same night view, but... although the view is beautiful, I know: this is not the view I want to see... Now it's okay~ I can trick the master into coming over to see this view together before I leave.
Bi Luo is satisfied~!"
At this moment, she was just a woman who got what she wanted, not a king who ruled the royal city.
Dongfang Fan looked at Dongfang Biluo's profile full of joy, and felt moved in his heart. At this moment, he knew he was wrong: the person in front of him had never changed...
(The end of this volume, the next step is the climax of returning to the Tianyue Dynasty! Stay tuned!!)
