Chapter 4968: The world is like a disk, but I am the only one who holds my own
The past events are rolling in my memory. Time is too far away. Everything used to be blurry, but now it is clear again.
The past is long, and I think of all the past, but today everything has disappeared in the mist and rain. When he came back to his senses, the old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but sigh softly.
Just when the old man sweeping the floor came back to his senses, he was shocked, turned around suddenly, and shouted: "Who——"
The old man sweeping the floor turned around and saw a person standing not far behind him - Li Qiye.
Li Qiye just stood there, extremely calm, as if he had always stood there. When did he come, the old man sweeping the floor had no idea or noticed anything, which shocked him.
After all, as powerful as the old sweeper, there are very few people in the world who can get so close to him without him noticing anything.
When the old man sweeping the floor was shocked, he couldn't help but take a step back, his expression changed, and he stared at Li Qiye.
Li Qiye looked at the old man sweeping the floor, smiled faintly, and said: "Time has passed, we turned out to be old friends."
The old man sweeping the floor opened his mouth to speak, but could not say anything for a moment. The word "old friend" is very elegant and elegant.
To be honest, are he and Li Qiye old friends? In the era when he and Li Qiye met, they were not old friends. After all, they could be regarded as enemies. However, the years have passed and countless time has passed. Looking back today, at that time,
The person is no longer in this world, and the things that happened back then have also disappeared.
The hatred back then, at that time, might have killed you to death, but today, in millions of years, everything has disappeared in the mist and rain, and there are few people they once knew who are still alive in the world.
Already.
Looking back, millions of years later, we can meet again, the only people we know in the world, and speaking of it, these are indeed old friends.
"If you don't mind, call me 'Master'." Li Qiye said with a faint smile.
The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but take a deep breath. At this time, his mentality became righteous and peaceful. Everything had disappeared, and the past grudges and resentments were no longer important.
The old man sweeping the floor gently bowed his head and said, "Young Master has come a long way, how about sitting down and having a cup of crude tea?"
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "When you meet an old friend after thousands of years, a cup of crude tea is not enough."
The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but smile and said: "Then three or five pots."
Let the grudges disappear with a smile. The past has finally passed, and everything has become insignificant. Meeting an old friend after thousands of years, this fate is enough.
Under the old tree, in front of the stone table, there were black and white chess pieces. The old man sweeping the floor boiled a pot of boiling hot water and added the magical tea with strange leaves and purple stamens. As the fragrance of the tea floated, it was like the gossip of gods.
Li Qiye was playing with the black and white chess pieces, and the old man sweeping the floor filled a cup for Li Qiye. The aroma of tea was so fragrant that it made people forget themselves.
Li Qiye tasted it carefully, and finally raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He couldn't help but praise: "It's such a good cup of wine. After one cup, all the world will disappear."
"Tea was picked at the Peak of the Broken Sky, and it has inherited the frost from the Nine Worlds. It's a pity that it has disappeared after the great disaster." The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but say with a smile.
For people like them, good tea should be drank with old friends.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and said: "Tea is good tea, and stories are also good stories. I just didn't expect you to stay in the academy."
The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but sigh, and said: "There was once endless prosperity, but it eventually came to an end. After all the generations, it no longer exists. Only the academy still has a faint shadow, and I can't help but stop. Maybe, there is still some home here.
It tastes like that.”
The words spoken so softly are so shocking. When people think deeply, there is indescribable sadness and indescribable emotions in their hearts.
Just like the old man sweeping the floor, the young man became king and had no enemies in the world. Later, the great road broke through the bottleneck and stood at the top.
When he stood at the pinnacle of his life, he could be said to dominate the world, and he was a supreme being. His words were the law, and he had thousands of disciples and descendants. He could be said to have endless prosperity and endless power.
However, in the endless years, it will eventually come to an end. In the distant years, the people around you will eventually pass away one by one, and leave you one by one, whether it is the person you love or the person who loves you...
...In the end, they all disappeared from the world, and in the long years, only myself was left alone, independent from the world.
When I look back, all the prosperity and power in the world are just passing clouds and have little to do with myself. All people and things have nothing to do with me.
Even at this time, he is still so powerful. In such a world, there is no point for him to stay, and he can only leave the world.
In the end, he was as powerful as an old man sweeping the floor. When he saw the academy, the scene of the young man was vaguely visible. Although millions of years have passed, the academy is no longer the Tianshen Academy of the past, but the academy is still the same as it was back then.
The academy is still a place where people seek knowledge.
In these long years, looking at this academy, I vaguely feel the memories of my youth, maybe this is a kind of destination, a feeling of home.
Therefore, since then, there has been an old sweeper in the academy, an ordinary sweeper.
Home, for an invincible person who once became king as a young man and once conquered the world, in the end, what he wants in life is just a destination. Without such a home, it seems that no matter how vast the world is, no matter how prosperous the world is, there is no place for it.
None of them have any meaning to themselves.
Therefore, even though he is invincible, he is still willing to be an old man sweeping the floor in this academy.
I don't know if this kind of life experience is a kind of sadness or a kind of open-mindedness.
"It's good to have a family, and my heart is at peace." Li Qiye couldn't help but nodded and said softly.
The old man sweeping the floor looked at Li Qiye and couldn't help but said: "Where is the young master's home?"
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "What the heart desires and what the Tao desires is home, that is my destination." After saying this, he sighed softly.
When the old man sweeping the floor heard this, he was amazed. Finally, he couldn't help but said: "After all, I am a layman, and my Taoism is not as firm as the young master."
Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh and said: "Young people are called kings, and they are invincible when they look up. How can they be called common people?"
The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but smile and shake his head, saying: "Young Master, please don't laugh at me. A young man is arrogant, how can he compare with the Young Master. Looking back today, the Young Master is already the master of the world, and I just overestimated my abilities. That's right."
It's because I ran away and had demons in my heart. I couldn't make any progress for a long time, and it took me countless hours to get rid of the timidity in my heart and defeat the demons in my heart."
"This is already very remarkable." Li Qiye said: "There are many unparalleled geniuses in the world. After one defeat, they will fall forever and cannot afford to be decadent."
"Time is long, and it is not wasted." When the old sweeper talked about the past with Li Qiye, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and finally asked: "The years have been long, but the young master is nowhere to be seen."
Li Qiye smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's just that I'm no longer in this world and have gone far away."
"That's it." The old man sweeping the floor understood and said: "Young master did not participate in the ancient war, the battle of opening the sky, the battle of the great road... Otherwise, this world would be even more wonderful."
"If I were here, maybe none of this would have started." Li Qiye said lightly.
The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but be startled. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I am too shallow. The master's supremacy is beyond the reach of my generation."
Li Qiye smiled lightly and said: "It's just that I'm not in this world, and I don't know much about it."
"That's it." The old man sweeping the floor said: "All kinds of things have happened in this, and there have also been one great battle after another. Generations of immortal emperors and Taoists have died in battle, and generations of invincible people and unparalleled geniuses have died.
Died..."
The old man sweeping the floor spoke eloquently for Li Qiye, talking about the changes in Liutian Continent over millions of years, the wars that had taken place one after another, this unparalleled war, and how many immortal emperors and daolords had fought against each other.
Death, one shocking change after another, has disappeared in the long river of time.
People of later generations often don't know all the past here, or they only know it from a few words, but that is far from the truth.
The old man sweeping the floor has personally experienced one turmoil after another, and one major change after another. As a person who has experienced it, his account is more authentic than the legends of later generations.
Under the old tree and in front of the chessboard, two old friends who met again after millions of years talked about the changes of the times and the changes in things and people.
Under the old tree, in front of the chessboard, we have been chatting and laughing like gods for thousands of years.
I don’t know how long we have been talking. It seems that millions of years have passed by the time we talked.
Finally, the old man sweeping the floor said with emotion: "When I was young, I was arrogant and arrogant. I thought that I would be able to see my true self one day and that I would be able to unify myself. But it was all an illusion after all."
"See the true self, seek immortality, and become a true immortal." Li Qiye said with a smile: "You are only one step away from seeing the true self."
"The difference of one step does not lie in talent, but in Taoism." The old man sweeping the floor couldn't help but said with emotion: "When I was young, I didn't understand, and I was proud that my talent was unparalleled, so I can see my true self. Only in later generations can I understand and see the true self.
I just need the sharpening of my Taoist heart."
"The Tao sharpens the heart." Li Qiye said with a smile: "Ten thousand years only lasts a moment, you still have a chance."
"Please give me some advice, sir." The old man sweeping the floor bowed his head and asked.
Li Qiye knocked lightly and said slowly: "The world is like a disk, but I am the only one who holds it."
The old man sweeping the floor immediately looked at the chessboard on the stone table. His heart was shaken when he took a closer look. He was firmly attracted and entered a huge grinding avenue.
Li Qiye smiled, got up and left.
The old man sweeping the floor was immersed in the chessboard and stopped getting up.
From then on, the old man sweeping the floor was no longer seen in the academy, but under the old tree, there was an old man who was struggling to realize the truth.
