Forty-nine, reincarnation
The house is equipped with a one-color bamboo bed, a bamboo table, a bamboo chair, and a bamboo couch. The first thing Han Yiming saw was a bronze mirror on a small bamboo case next to the white wall. The mirror surface is bright, and there is a small blue lotus flower of about two inches floating about a foot above the mirror. Fluctuating high and low, left and right, but unable to float out of the scope of the mirror. Suddenly, a petal fell from the pedicle of the lotus flower, fluttered and fell onto the copper mirror, and disappeared without a trace. Han Yiming looked at the blue lotus flower, and walked slowly.
Qin Wufang looked at him for a moment and said, "Yiming, come, sit down." The fate of this blue lotus, I will listen to you another day. Han Yiming hurriedly withdrew his eyes and said, "Yes." "Walk in front of Qin Wufang. Qin Wufang waved his right hand in front of him, and a bamboo chair appeared in front of the bamboo couch and said, "Yiming, you sit down here." Han Yiming said: "Thank you for the seat." "Sit down in a chair.
Qin Wufang smiled slightly and said, "Yiming, I came to you today, but I have something to say to you alone." Han Yiming said: "Yes, listen to the teachings of the teacher." Qin Wufang said: "Do you know why you want to go up to Lingshan?" Han Yiming was stunned, he went to Lingshan that day, but Lu Yueqing brought him up, he didn't think about why he wanted to go up, so he couldn't answer, and was stunned. Qin Wufang's eyes looked at him, his eyes were clear and bright, and his gaze was like a spring water, very clear. After a while, Qin Wufang said again: "Have you ever thought about why you want to go up?"
Han Yiming snorted for a long time, and Qin Wufang didn't ask anymore, just looked at him with a smile. After a while, Han Yiming said: "The disciple is stupid, I haven't thought about it. Qin Wufang nodded and said, "It's your master who wants to bring you up, yes or no?" Han Yiming was stunned for a moment, not daring to answer. Qin Wufang sighed: "Yiming, you are indeed pure-hearted. Okay, I'll tell you why. ”
When he had finished saying this, he said it again. Looking at the blue lotus flower on the bronze mirror, he looked at it for a while, and said, "It's just because you killed the demon star." In the past three hundred years, a total of four demon stars have appeared. I said it the day you started. Han Yiming said: "Yes." Qin Wufang said: "On the day when the Demon Star appeared, there were visions in heaven and earth. The Taoist friends all exchanged news one after another, and they wanted to kill the demon star together. My Lingshan Sect has also received invitations from fellow Daoists, so your master has taken the three junior brothers and sisters below him to track down the Demon Star together. This chase lasted for nearly half a year, and during this time, not to mention them, even I, who was still in Lingshan, also felt that the magic power of the demon star was getting stronger and stronger. I'm also a little worried that the magic star is powerful and will be demonic, and when I was about to go down the mountain to help, you have already killed him. Then, you became a demon slayer disciple for the various factions to compete for. ”
When he said this, he paused and looked at Han Yiming. Han Yiming was inexplicable, but he didn't ask, just waited for him to continue. Qin Wufang paused for a moment and said, "Actually, Lingshan didn't want to kill the Demon Star earlier. Demon stars are generally quite spiritual, and they are very aware of the things around them. It's just that they are extremely talented, and the opportunities are also very ingenious. As for their cultivation, they also have their own methods, and not everyone's cultivation has accumulated over the same years as ours, and their cultivation can even be said to have been brought about since the time of reincarnation. I don't approve of all fellow Daoists killing the Demon Star, they are not great evils, and most of them have never done anything wrong before they die. But their innate spiritual power is something that many Taoist friends are eager to obtain. ”
Han Yiming had never heard of this, looked at Qin Wufang, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Shi, what is the cultivation brought by reincarnation?" Qin Wufang smiled and said: "I told you that cultivation is actually to purify one's own ethics and improve one's personal comprehension, not to pursue immortality and reincarnation. But many cultivators can't see through this, and they always want to be immortal. How is it possible? No matter how long you live, there will be a day when you will die. ”
When Qin Wufang said this, a smile appeared on his face, and Han Yiming suddenly saw heavy wrinkles on his face, his head was like snow, and he was greatly surprised, and he looked at it blankly. Qin Wufang smiled: "Yiming, you can see my age on my face." Han Yiming said: "The disciple doesn't know if it's right or not." Qin Wufang smiled: "Yes and no." I said yes, yes. If I say it's not, it's not. ”
Han Yiming said in his heart: "Senior Uncle Qin is also a few hundred years old, will he also ┅┅" Just thinking of this, Qin Wufang had already smiled and said: "You are thinking in your heart whether I will die, right?" Han Yiming was startled, his face flushed, and he didn't dare to speak. Qin Wufang said: "I will also be silent." For those who are cultivators, silence is death. I personally sent away my parents, and my wife and children, and I have no worries or regrets. If it weren't for the ancestor who didn't return, I would have gone down the mountain a long time ago. After all, I also want to help the world, and if the Tao is only for myself, there will be nothing to cultivate this way. If a person lives too long, there is nothing that cannot be seen, so it is necessary to focus on the big picture. But even so, eventually I will be gone. You also want to enter reincarnation and be reborn as a human being. ”
He said it very easily, but Han Yiming was very sad. Qin Wufang has always been very kind, although he doesn't look confused, and his demeanor is very detached. Perhaps, as he said, he lived too long and was well-informed, and he became tolerant. But such a tolerant person talks about his own life and death, which makes the people around him very sad. Han Yiming couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, and quietly lowered his head.
Qin Wufang smiled: "Yiming, don't feel sorry for me. You kid, you're still too soft-hearted. After a pause, he said, "My cultivation can only go to such a state, and I have entered reincarnation, but I am afraid that this cultivation will also disappear without a trace." However, although the Taoist friends who are higher than me have entered the reincarnation and have dissipated in their previous lives like smoke and dust, their cultivation can float in reincarnation, and if they encounter the soul that will be reincarnated as a human being, they will be attached to the soul. Then this soul is reincarnated as a human being, and it has extremely high talents. One day, when he becomes enlightened, all these talents will be used for him. Some of these people will become high-ranking people, and some will become demon stars. ”
Han Yiming nodded, and Qin Wufang continued: "There are people who are masters of the Dao, and there will be those who can't control and become a demon star, and the demon star will also have a thought of benevolence. Everything originates from the heart, so I don't want your master to kill the Demon Star, they just follow behind. If this demon star always has benevolence and benevolence, I don't think he can be regarded as a demon star, and there is no need to get rid of it quickly. It's just my personal obsession. Others may not think like this, so this so-called demon star has re-entered reincarnation before he has done evil. ”
