At night, looking into the city from the top of Heyang City, although the lights of thousands of houses are indescribable, the little bits of light still give people a warm feeling.
For Gui Li, maybe it is the most unfamiliar place for him?
He silently stared at the lights, and then turned around. The city wall was neither tall nor strong. At this moment, there was no one. The desolate evening wind blew over from the open fields outside Heyang City, passing over the people at the top of the city.
The city wall, which was heavily damaged in the beast-monster catastrophe, blew on him and Zhou Xian
For some reason, Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog are not here. Only Zhouxian Xian and Gui Li are standing at the head of Heyang City at this night. However, Zhouxianxian seems to be calm and composed, holding the bamboo pole that the immortal pointed the way to.
There was a wine bottle in the other hand, and he was taking a big sip at this moment, letting out a contented sigh.
It's a good wine. He smiled slightly, and then said to Gui Li, "This wine is still a little warm. Do you want to take a sip?" Gui Li silently shook his head and said: "Senior, drink it yourself."
Zhou Xian laughed and took another sip. After taking this sip, he shook the jug and threw it down the city wall. It seemed that there was only the last sip left in the jug.
Meijiu, probably because he felt so sorry, he asked Gui Li
This night, the moon was sparse and the moonlight was like water. The secluded city wall was illuminated quite brightly by the moon. After drinking the wine, Yi Xian looked up at the sky and was lost in thought. For a moment, Gui Li was speechless and walked slowly to the sky.
On the edge of the city wall, his eyes immediately fell on a certain spot on the city bricks. There were deep claw marks there. Near the claw marks, there were many claw marks densely covered on the brick wall.
shocking
Those were the catastrophes, and Zhou Xian, who was left behind by countless beast monsters, came over at some point and said lightly:
On the city wall where the two of them were wandering around, the old man playing the human world seemed to be a little less playful than usual, but the look in Gui Li's eyes was a little more compassionate.
Gui Li stretched out his hand and gently touched the deep claw marks. What came from his fingertips was the hard feeling of the rough brick wall, but he didn't know how many innocent souls had cried out in these claw marks.
He sank for a long time and said: Did a lot of innocent people die in Heyang City back then? Zhou Xian sighed, walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked down. In his eyes, the lights in the city reflected:
Many, although many people have fled north early, at least 50% of the people in Heyang City lost their lives innocently and died in the hands of those beast monsters. Gui Li looked at Zhou Xian and suddenly said: Senior, what do you mean about those innocent people?
Among the people who lost their lives, which one of them was not the same as us, and which one was not living a good life in this world, not to mention all of them, but at least 99% of the people, they were harmless to humans and animals, but why did this sudden disaster happen?
?And what is the purpose of living like them? Zhouxian looked at Gui Li, holding on to the city wall, and said: You can stand here today, and those people lost their lives innocently, let me ask you, what do you think?
The reason? Gui Li was silent for a long time and said: I am different from them. I practice Taoism. Even if the beasts and monsters come, I can avoid it. Zhou Xian nodded and said: That's it. You see, everyone has a head.
Vision, looking at the big realm, just like Tianyin Temple Buddhism says that all living beings are equal. In fact, according to Buddhism, this means that not only humans, but also ants and beasts are indistinguishable from us. He paused,
He smiled slightly and said, "But, in this world, is there anything that can be seen clearly? If you have great supernatural powers and are powerful, you can survive desperate situations and escape from ordinary living beings. That's why we say
All living beings are equal, but in every detail, they are never equal.
Gui Li looked confused, shook his head slowly and said: I don't want to be above all sentient beings, and I don't have the compassion to save all sentient beings. Just like although I practice Taoism, I have no interest in immortality. Zhouxian said calmly: Then you
What do you want?" Gui Li gave a bitter smile, his smile was full of dryness, and said in a low voice: It's right here. What do I want? But even I don't know how the expression on his face changed. The bright moon in the sky gradually reached its zenith.
The moonlight is brilliant, shining down from the sky, stretching his shadow very long
Yiyi Xian didn't speak, and looked at Gui Li quietly, but the look in his eyes was completely different from the past, even though the person standing in front of him was the only ghost in the world who had studied the four volumes of the Book of Heaven.
Li, his Taoist skills are already unpredictable, but Immortal Zhou Yi looks as if he is taller and taller at this moment.
His elegance, his calmness, the night wind could be seen passing through the white hair on his temples, and even the brilliance of the bright moon seemed to quietly gather on his side.
But Gui Li didn't notice anything strange. In fact, Zhou Xian just stood in front of him calmly, and he himself seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts.
After a while, Gui Li smiled bitterly and said: It seems that I am really useless. I can't even think about why I am alive or what I want. Immortal Zhou Yi looked at Gui Li calmly, with a faint smile on his lips, and said: You are wrong.
Yes, young man
Gui Li was startled for a moment. This was the first time he heard Zhou Xian call him a young man, but this was obviously not the main point. After he was stunned for a moment, he asked: Senior, do you think I am wrong? Where is the mistake?
Zhou Yixian said lightly: Do you think that you are ineffective because you can't think about this problem? In my opinion, on the contrary, if you can think about this problem, you are far better than others in this world. Gui Li was stunned and said:
What? Zhou Xian smiled slightly and waved: "Come and see Gui Li Walking beside Zhou Xian, follow the direction of his finger and look towards the countryside. In Heyang City, under the moonlight, the lights in the silence are flickering.
…
Zhou Yixian looked at the lights, and there seemed to be a kind of complicated emotions in them. After a moment, he said in a pure voice: What are you seeing? Ghostly said: These are the lights in countless people's homes.
Zhou Xian nodded and said: Yes, even when the lights are turned on, the little lights are like living people. They are all living in this world, whether they are happy or unhappy, but they will eventually go down. I tell you
, these people are born all their lives, and I don’t know how many people live just to live. People like you who are distressed and reflect on why they are alive, there is no ghost in ten thousand. Li Yaran, he has never thought about the country, but he has never thought about this.
What Zhou Xiankong heard seemed to make sense, but he couldn't refute it
Zhou Yixian looked at him, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face, but this application passed in a blink of an eye, and then he sighed softly, stretched out his hand and patted Gui Li's shoulder.
Although Gui Li cannot be said to be frightened at this moment, there is always turmoil in his mind. Based on his practice, he almost subconsciously turned sideways to let go of Zhou Xian's hand, but the matter of surrender happened suddenly.
The ordinary Zhou Xian, with his seemingly floating palm, actually did not hide away with Gui Li's spiritual practice, and was just patted down by Zhou Xian.
Gui Li was really shocked. Before he could react, the words that made his mind turbulent came out from Zhou Xianxian's mouth: What's more, you are the only person in the world who has mastered the four volumes of the Heavenly Book.
How can he be the same as others? As soon as he said this, Gui Li's body was shaken. The practice of the fourth volume of the [Heavenly Book] has always been something he kept secret. In fact, the third volume of the [Heavenly Book] was obtained from the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven.
Lu Xueqi and the monks from Tianyin Temple did not know that those magical texts were in the same line as the [Heavenly Book]. Only he
After studying it from beginning to end, I realized that these are the four volumes of the [Heavenly Book]
However, at this moment, Zhou Yixian revealed this secret clearly in front of him. How could he not be shocked? His face was full of disbelief for a while, and he stared at Yi Xian.
Zhou Yixian smiled lightly and said: "Although you are surprised, you don't have to be like this. Guili looked up and down carefully at the old man in front of him. After a long time, he suddenly smiled, took a step back, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully.
: I'm rude, I've neglected my seniors in the past, but I just have a puzzle in my heart. I hope my seniors can help me solve it? Immortal Yiyi looked calm, and he was so respectful to him given the task of making a name for himself in the world. It seemed that he didn't feel disrespected at all.
Feeling embarrassed, I just said: If others can tell you the doubts and confusions in your heart, how can you not understand it with your intangibility and the mystery of the [Heavenly Book]? Gui Li silently said slowly: Could it be that senior thinks that
, is there really no solution to the doubts in my heart?
Immortal Zhou smiled and shook his head, saying: Yes, to understand the nature of words, the Buddha is in the heart and not outside the body. This is the similarity with Buddhism in the [Heavenly Book]. Immortal Zhou said: That's it. Why do people live this life? It's exactly what you deserve.
It’s up to you to realize it yourself. I may be able to give you some advice. I’ll just tell you what’s wrong. He smiled and put his hands behind his back, and walked aside.
Gui Li sank again. After a while, the look of confusion on his face did not fade away, and he said: "Life, death, separation, separation. I have only seen these four words: life, life. I ask my senior, is human nature inherently miserable?"
"Yiyi Xian smiled and said: Wrong, wrong, you have written all your life and thought that everyone was miserable. In fact, let me ask you, do you think your life is miserable?
Gui Li was startled and opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. Zhouxian Xian already smiled and said: "What, it's hard to say? Take your master and his wife who passed away recently as an example. Do you think they were crying?"
Gui Li said calmly: Master and Master... Zhou Xian Su Rong said: Tian Buyi died in the right place, so he died without regrets and left with a smile; your Master, Suru, is deeply in love with your mentor and his wife, and does not want to live alone, you
Thinking that she committed suicide in grief, but she didn't know where her soul was. What was her happiest thing about being able to be separated from her husband?
Gui Li was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Zhou Yixian said calmly: You are too sad for Tian Buyi and his wife, but you don't know that they may be the most understanding and the most regretless people. It is not ridiculous to save others by oneself? At this point, Zhou Yixian suddenly smiled.
, looked at the ghost and said sharply: Are you afraid of death?
Gui Li hesitated for a moment, sighed lowly, and said: "I'm afraid of immortality." Immortal Dao Zhou said: "Oh, I want to ask you, what are you afraid of? Is it the word death itself? Gui Li shook his head silently and said: Since I am afraid of immortality,
Unintentionally, I don’t care about death. What I’m afraid of is that after I die, my wishes will be difficult to achieve. Zhou Xian smiled and said: That’s it. You can see through life and death, but there seems to be something more important than life and death in your heart. Instead of you asking me in every possible way,
How about imagining these important things?" Gui Li frowned, and seemed to have some realization, but he didn't show his face. Instead, he fell into deep thoughts again. Zhou Xian didn't bother him,
Xiao Xiao walked aside and looked up, only to see the bright moon in the sky, and the moonlight was shining down...
Above the wilderness, the evening breeze rustles, the stars move, the sky is infinite
He stared for a long time and suddenly let out a deep sigh
Suddenly, Gui Li's voice came from behind: Senior, is there something you can't see through in your heart? "Me?" Yi Xian didn't look back, and was still staring at the bright moon in the distant sky. After a while, he only heard him say calmly.
, since I am still wandering in this world, I also have hidden thoughts. Oh, what is it?
Zhou Xian smiled slightly and said: What I can't see through is this reincarnation.
Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak
There have always been only women on Xiaozhu Peak, so the atmosphere here has always been quiet and peaceful. Even during the day, there is silence for a long time, with only the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers echoing on this beautiful mountain.
However, since Master Shuiyue brought a group of flutes back from the funeral at Dazhu Peak yesterday, the atmosphere on Xiaozhu Peak has been calm, with a bit of solemnity and depression. Many young female flutes from Xiaozhu Peak are the first.
This is the first time I saw Master Shuiyue unable to conceal her loneliness and sadness. With her current practice, she should have given up her anger long ago.
Wen Min has always been the one who best understands Master Shuiyue's thoughts. She also sent a message to the sisters early, asking them to be careful and not to talk or laugh loudly, while angering the master. Under such advice, it is natural that Xiaozhu Peak is full of people.
All solemn
After returning from Dazhu Peak, Master Shuiyue locked himself in the Jianzhulin Jingshe and never showed up again. Disciple Wenmin Deng boldly went to say hello, but was not allowed to go in, which made Wenmin a little confused.
get worried
On this day, Wenmin had not seen Master Shuiyue for a whole day and night. He came out of the Jianzhulin Jingshe. Feeling anxious, he asked Lu Xueqi to come with him. Lu Xueqi seemed to be in a bad mood. She was not willing to come, but Wenmin couldn't stand it.
After some persuasion, she was worried about points, so she followed Wen Min over.
Wenmin and Lu Xueqi came to the bamboo forest and stood outside the monastery. Wenmin made a gesture to Lu Xueqi. Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment, walked up, knocked on them lightly and said: Master, disciples Lu Xueqi and Senior Sister Wen have something to see Jing.
There was silence in the house, no one answered
Lu Xueqi and Wenmin looked at each other. Wenmin frowned, with a worried look on his face. In fact, Master Shuiyue's temperament was somewhat different from ordinary people. In the past, he would not be so disrespectful to his disciples.
, even if she suddenly disappears for several days, there are some cases. But for some reason, Wen Min and others just came back from attending the funeral at Dazhu Peak, and they knew some of the inside story, so they seemed to be a little sensitive to her menstruation.
Wen Min coughed, raised his voice slightly, and said: Master, this morning, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, Senior Brother Xiao, sent someone to deliver a letter. Here, the disciple presented it to the monastery, but it was still in ruins. Wen Min deeply
Taking a deep breath, she took a step forward and opened the door of the monastery. Lu Xueqi followed closely behind her and walked in.
The two of them walked into the house, glanced around, and both of them frowned slightly. The monastery was not that big, and the furnishings in the house were simple. At first glance, the two of them did not see the figure of Master Shuiyue.
, Wenmin sighed and said: Master is not here, I wonder where her old lady will go? Lu Xueqi shook her head silently, pondered for a moment, and said: Senior sister, we should go back first, or maybe we are overly worried, Master and Su
Although Uncle Ru has deep feelings, he is still sad at best. I don’t think anything will happen. Wenmin nodded and said: That’s all, but I always feel uneasy. Lu Xueqi sighed softly, shook her head slightly, turned around and walked out.
Wenmin glanced inside the room again, then took out a sealed letter from her arms, placed it gently on the desk, and then walked out. After a while, the door was closed behind her with a soft snap.
