That night, the little brother cooked, made a few good dishes to entertain us, usually the meals they eat are extremely simple, that is, the kind of self-heating food, has been packaged well, and then when it is time to eat, open the self-heating.

If you want to eat something good, you have to make it yourself, but a few single men, except for the little senior brother, don't want to cook, they just deal with it casually.

After eating, Li Yao and Zhou Fan and I had a private meeting, and Hong Tong and the little brother did not participate.

"Little junior brother, is there something wrong with you coming back this time?"

"That's right, I've had a lot of things out there this time"

"What's the matter, it's so upset you"

"Because I encountered Senior Brother Zhou Fan's evil thoughts"

"My evil thoughts, sure enough, none of those guys are honest, and they actually hide my evil thoughts"

When Zhou Fan heard this, he immediately sneered and frowned, those people have cooperated with them, and they have already told them that they hide evil thoughts, that is, they are against them, and it seems that they all regard his words as wind in their ears.

"Little junior brother, did Senior Brother Zhou Fan's evil thoughts say anything to you, don't believe his words, it's all a lie to you"

"No, Senior Brother Li Yao, I can still distinguish whether it is a lie or not, I came here to want to know how those evil thoughts escaped"

"Little junior brother has something to say, just say it, we won't be angry, what is my evil thoughts, nonsense, is it related to senior brother?"

"Yes, you senior brothers treat me like a relative, I shouldn't have doubted you, but what the evil thoughts said also makes sense, your cultivation is to reach the heavens, and you are the best in the world, why do you have evil thoughts, even to the point where you can't suppress them and need to be separated,

Don't hide it from Senior Brother, I also have evil thoughts and impulses, but basically I can endure them, and I can deal with them without using the meditation mantra, why did I get to such a point"

"This question, I answered you, your temptation comes from a moment, all of a sudden evil thoughts breed, and all of a sudden evil thoughts disappear, but we are different, our evil thoughts are continuous, little junior brother, you are not yet this age, so you can't feel it, if you are seventy or eighty, you will know.

It is an extremely terrible thing to feel that your life is slowly depleting, no matter how high you cultivate, it is useless to survive, if you are a mediocre mortal, you know that you will die, but you can't change this result, so you will acquiesce, will give up, and will be able to break the red dust of life and death.

But this kind of seeing through is fake, just like a soldier on the battlefield, he is not afraid of death, but is he really not afraid of death, no, it is just the result of military order constraints and blood rushing, and when they get to the battlefield, they are afraid to die, which is why there are psychological problems of post-war trauma.

And we, there is a way to change the result, we have supernatural powers, we know the secret arts, we know that we will die, there is a way to change, you say what a great temptation it is, today you bear it, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you endure it when you are healthy, but the pain arises.

It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult for us to resist this temptation, and it is better to give up our evil thoughts as soon as possible than to fall one day and change our original intentions."

Zhou Fan's explanation is no different from what he said before, I remember saying the same thing last time, and the evil thoughts can be explained.

"What about Senior Brother, how do Senior Brother's side explain, they said that the evil thoughts were deliberately released by Senior Brother"

We can also explain this, there are two reasons in total, the first is that we give up evil thoughts, in fact, it is a very expensive thing, if we destroy the evil thoughts, then the evil thoughts will quickly breed, and they will be inexhaustible, so we will leave the evil thoughts for a period of time and slowly recuperate, in order to preserve our strength.

As for why it is Senior Brother, in fact, this is a strategy of ours, and it is also Senior Brother's own sacrifice, the five of us are mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, and they have always coveted it, so we deliberately show weakness and create the illusion of internal strife, just to let them be fooled.

Imagine if you covet us, will you try to deal with us, and suddenly find that one of us has a problem, will you stare at this person with a problem and not think of any other way?"

"That's the way I put it, senior brother, it's my heart, I'm sorry"

"It's okay, you don't know enough about us, this is a normal thing, and you will find out in the future, in fact, we are also very vulgar people, we have no ambition to rule the world, and we have no ambition to seek anything, we just want to live forever"

"Yes, I found out about this, but senior brother, have you ever thought about what you will do after you are immortal, will it be boring, and the whole world will feel lonely?"

"It's really not, just like your Senior Brother Li Yao, if he really lives forever, he will immediately go down the mountain and return to his old profession to become a doctor."

"Cut, I won't be a doctor anymore, I'm going to travel the starry sky, looking for aliens, Lao Tzu is immortal, I'm afraid of a fart"

"Haha, whatever you want"

"Senior Brother Li Yao has good ambitions, I will support you when the time comes"

I said with a smile, but it was not a taste in my heart, because they really didn't explain the reason for the elixir, whether they forgot it or not.

"Senior brother, how many pills can you get next year?"

"Not necessarily, it's usually five to eight, depending on your luck."

"If it's eight, we're only six of us, what if there's two left?"

"What, what did the little junior brother think?"

"It's nothing, if there is my share of that one next year, I won't eat it, I'll trade it"

"Why, you don't have to worry about those people, we can take care of everything for you, they can't turn over any storms"

"Yes, junior brother, you don't understand the preciousness of this elixir, in the past, we could get together a furnace in about three years, but now it may not be five years, I really don't know when it will be next time, many of our material clues have been broken, and it is impossible to say that it will be possible in twenty years."

Li Yao also immediately said, the pill is very precious, the number of heavenly spirit treasures is getting smaller and smaller, they have been looking for it overseas many years ago, and now the overseas is about to be searched out.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I know in my heart, I am not yet thirty years old this year, if I really wait for another twenty years, I can afford to wait, this time I have to use the pill to solve those people and solve this problem completely"

"This, everyone has their own ambitions, we can't force you, but you have to think about it carefully"

"Don't worry, senior brother, I've already thought it through"

"That's good"

"By the way, senior brother, this time I came to take the little fairies and them away, it is not appropriate for Liu An to stay here"

"Why is it inappropriate, are we negligent about them?"

"No, it's Liu An's education problem, in the future, I plan to let Liu An be a scientist and a scholar, and I won't take the road of rivers and lakes, so I have to receive systematic teaching from an early age, from kindergarten, we don't have any kindergartens here"

"This is true, in fact, the path taken by our people is very special, not suitable for ordinary people, especially those who aspire to live an ordinary life, you can take it away"

"Thank you, brother, for making it perfect"

"No thanks, they're all my own brothers"

"Then I'll go and rest first"

"Let's go"

I nodded, and before leaving, I deliberately asked where the little brother's room was, I had to go and ask him about cooking, and I had to make breakfast for my son tomorrow morning to strengthen the relationship between father and son.

Li Yao laughed and laughed at me, saying that I am not a master now, but a complete father, and I don't care so much.

Then I went and knocked on the door of the little brother's room, and the little brother called me in.

"Little brother, I've been doing well lately."

"Very good, what's the matter with the little junior brother?"

"Please ask me about cooking, I don't know what the highest achievement of cooking is that little brother thinks"

"Are you going to discuss philosophy with me?"

"How dare you, just ask casually, I have already received the little brother's heart"

"I didn't understand what the little junior brother was saying"

"It's nothing, I just told my senior brothers, I will give up the pill next year, don't take it"

"It's too wasteful not to eat"

"Haha, right, I don't know what the pill tastes like when I eat it"

"Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit, one bite is gone, who cares about the taste"

"Senior brother is a chef, and he doesn't care about the taste?"

"It's only been one for several years, how to manage it"

"That's it, okay, call me up tomorrow, I'll give my son ** heart breakfast, don't bother my brother now"

I waved my hand and walked out of my little brother's room.

·······

Zhongnan Mountain, a place of retreat, the thin old man slowly opened his eyes, and there was already one more person in front of him.

"Big Brother"

"What's the matter with junior brother?"

"Liu Jinyang is here today, he has a lot to say, he should know a lot of things outside the mountain"

"Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid, we're not evil, and we didn't harm him, but we're just worried about causing misunderstandings"

"There is no misunderstanding, this is the right road, as long as it is passed, it is the broad road of mankind, you and I are both victims on this road, Liu Jinyang's words depend on the will of God"

"I want to ask Senior Brother, why Liu Jinyang, is it because he is the most beloved person of Heavenly Dao?"

"Maybe, it's providence"

"Senior brother, the way of heaven takes all things as a dog, and will not favor anyone, Liu Jinyang may not be able to succeed"

"If you don't succeed, then find a successor, haven't we all done this for hundreds of years?"

"But"

"No, but I don't have much time, the next thing is up to you and Li Yao, if you can't do it, you will entrust it all to Liu Jinyang, if Liu Jinyang can't do it, you will entrust it to the next generation, in short, you must finish this road"

"I..."

"Senior brother is still scared?"

"A little, I'm afraid I won't have the face to face Liu Jinyang, hey"

"It's come to this, needless to say, it's up to God's will"

The thin old man closed his eyes again, Zhou Fan sighed a few times, and had no choice but to leave.
