114: No one knows the hero, Lao Tzu is drunk and awake all his life

The sunset on the horizon is red and gorgeous, like a garden full of red azaleas and cockscombs, and a large area of crimson, dark red, and light red covers the entire horizon. Suddenly, the red halo of light turned into layered waves, tumbling and surging around the golden sunset. When the final sunset sank into the sea of blood, those sunsets turned into clusters of burning flames, dancing at the junction of heaven and earth.

Zhuo Junyi, Liu Yanxiao, and Gautama walked towards the flames in the sky on the field, and suddenly Zhuo Junyi opened his mouth and said:

"People say that the sunset is the end of the world, and the end of the world is not home. ”

"We are indeed like wanderers who have no home, but I am reminded of a few other lines of your poem: Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning. From the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood. Gautama said.

Yes, the great man's poems are just as appropriate for the moment. I didn't expect Brother Qiao to be so positive, heroic and energetic. Zhuo Junyi said to Gautama, but he soon discovered a small problem:

"Can I call you Brother Qiao? You don't seem to have the surname Qiao, do you? Then should I call you Brother Dharma? It seems awkward. ”

"It's okay if you call me Gautama, and I will also call you Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yan laugh. We're already in the Chaos Realm, where do we need all this polite rhetoric?" said Gautama.

"It's fine. Let's go catch up with the sunset now, Gautama, how fast can you run?"

"Not too fast, not too slow. As he spoke, Gautama strode toward the horizon.

Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yan smiled at each other, and also followed closely behind Gautama. They all felt that this South Asian who voluntarily followed them was quite interesting, not only with strange thoughts, but also with a kind of Buddhist Zen principle everywhere, and there was a charm that could not be explained.

Gautama galloped on this field like a cheetah, and there was a feeling of pride and unrestrainedness, galloping the world. And Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao did not use the spatial structure, but just stepped on the ground and followed behind Gautama. The feeling of running on the ground was something they hadn't felt in a long time.

Soon, the figure of the panda in the sunset on the horizon was clearly visible. Zhuo Jun and the three of them slowed down, and then stopped not far from Socrates, the master. The panda in front of him suddenly looked at him and was not much different from Socrates, but on closer inspection, the expressions of the two were by no means the same.

The image of Socrates, on the whole, is very funny and simple, so Liu Yanxiao will always unconsciously scratch his head. But his master Zarathu has a cold expression, a calm demeanor, and an abyss-like momentum, which has nothing to do with being funny and honest.

"Master Cha, hello. Thank you for saving your life. Zhuo Jun said to Zarathu, who was as calm as water and as steady as a mountain.

"To put it mildly, with the strength of the two of you, you weren't powerless to fight back just now, so this is not a life-saving grace. I just heard that the star lord commented that you are 'invincible with fists and feet', so I was curious to come and take a look. While speaking, Zarathu kept his eyes on Liu Yanxiao's body, as if he wanted to see Liu Yanxiao thoroughly from the inside out.

But Liu Yanxiao didn't feel the slightest discomfort, Zarathu's gaze was completely different from Mu Qian's. Under the gaze of Zaratu, who was as deep as a starry sky and as cold as a mountain spring, Liu Yanxiao even had a very relaxed feeling.

"The Star Lord's opinion of you is unprecedented. In the long years I've known her, she's never valued anyone as much as you do. After a while, Zarathu smiled at Liu Yan and said slowly.

Liu Yan was dumbfounded for a while when she heard this, she didn't have any relationship with the Free Star Lord at all, who would have thought that this first person in the chaotic domain would actually attach so much importance to herself. Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Liu Yan smiled and said:

"False, in fact, we and the Lord of Liberty Star used to have only one side, and everyone is not very familiar with it. ”

Liu Yanxiao's meaning is obvious: Everyone is not familiar with me, so I don't need you to evaluate me, and I don't need your attention; whether your fists and feet are invincible depends on my own ability, anyway, you won't fight for me, why bother talking so much?

Zarathu laughed after hearing this, he finally understood the difference between Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao, two earthlings, at least Liu Yanxiao's reply with a needle hidden in the brocade, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Actually, anything can be said. But Zarathu is not an ordinary person, he can't always say some pedantic and superficial opinions at this time, right? As an arrogant free star, Zarathu's mind is very open-minded and inclusive, so he finally responded positively to Liu Yanxiao:

"If you want to really understand a person, of course, you can't see it clearly with a few glances, and the Star Lord's statement may be a little hasty, but you are not arrogant people. So I'll leave it to a later date. ”

"Actually, I'm not bad, why doesn't anyone judge me? Zhuo Junyi suddenly opened his mouth and said such arrogant words.

"After I go back this time, I must warn the star lord and her old man, and you must pay attention to one point when you speak in the future, the person who should be evaluated must be evaluated, and the things that should not be said must not be said. Zarathu laughed to himself helplessly.

"Just kidding, Master Cha doesn't have to take it to heart, we are all the kind of people who are casual and have no taboos, and we can say whatever comes to mind, so the joke may be a little crazy, please forgive me. Zhuo Jun arched his hand and said to Zarathu.

"It's okay, now I finally understand why my apprentice has been obsessed with you, and Hua Jieyu, one of our four star envoys, is also very fond of you, you are indeed a very interesting group of people. ”

"It's over. Su Shen ...... Socrates has been preaching his 'transcendental dialectic' in front of us, and I wonder if you have any words that you can teach us?" said Zhuo Junyi.

"Will someone like you honestly listen to my 'constant words'?" Zarathu seemed to see Zhuo Jun through in an instant.

"The kid is not so unbearable, he just likes to accept new things and not forget the old things. And I think that lecturing and preaching is something we should all respect, and learning more about things that we don't know is really one of the great pleasures of life. ”

"What I'm looking for is, in a nutshell, one thing – people are equal. Zarathu said lightly.

Zhuo Junyi was instantly stunned after hearing this sentence: because this sentence is empty, too straightforward, and too special without connotation.

"Theoretically, there is indeed equality between beings, but didn't Socrates say that if any individual life and civilization is unbalanced, then there can be no equality in nature. All beings are equal, all things are equal, and most of these words are seen in our kind of religious conjectures, and there is no basis for any real existence......" Zhuo Jun thought for a while and said.

"I'm talking about 'people are equal to each other,' and I'm not saying 'all beings are equal,' or 'all things are equal.' ”

"Is there a difference between these two sentences?" Zhuo Junyi was even more puzzled.

Of course, the former is an idea, and the latter is a slogan. Do you want an idea, or a slogan?" Zaratul stared at Zhuo Junyi.

"Well, the concept needs to have a practical foundation......"

"That's right, so our goal is to translate the idea that people are equal to each other into a concrete process that is well-founded and operational. ”

"I still can't understand it. Zhuo Jun sighed.

That's the meaning of the idea, not whether you understand it, but whether the idea is deeply rooted in your heart. Zarathu said as he glanced at the world around him, which had fallen into darkness, and then leisurely continued:

"This philosophy is the reason why we free planetarians came to the Chaos Realm, and the reason why I am standing in front of you at this moment. ”

Can a concrete process of justification, operationalization, and absurdity really become like this? In our case, only religion can have such deceptive claims, and even many advanced political systems cannot have such absurd fallacies. Religion, on the other hand, is a manifestation of an imbalance within a civilized community, which will inevitably evolve into a political or economic purpose in the end. ”

But there is also a saying in our place: when a slogan becomes an idea, it is time for us to act. ”

"Don't judge or dismiss anything, the absurdity that you find impossible right now is simply because you haven't seen something that builds the foundation for the absurd. Believe me, anything is possible with the foundation. As long as you have enough patience and enough luck, in this universe, you will see such magnificent scenery sooner or later. ”

After saying this, Zarathu turned and disappeared into the darkness, but he left an indelible ghost in Zhuo Junyi's heart.

Seeing that Zhuo Junyi was a little stupid and stupid, Liu Yan smiled and jokingly said:

"No one knows the hero, Lao Tzu is drunk and awake all his life. These two casual sentences of yours are very good, but why do I think you are scolding me for not having vision? With me for so long, you are useless as a hero?"

"How could I scold you? It was you who first scolded Master Zarathu, so I had no choice but to respond to the situation and support you. ”

"How can I be scared? I'm just telling the truth, we haven't had much contact with the Liberty Star Lord, but we just met by chance before we entered the Chaos Domain. Liu Yan's eyes sparkled in the darkness, and Zhuo Jun could see a sly smile on her cheeks.

"Let's go, there is a big river ahead, let's go to the river and rest for a while, and then go up the river and be the elegant man who seeks seclusion. Gautama, what do you think?" Zhuo Junyi did not dwell on the things of "scolding" and "scolding" again.

"Just as I want, maybe we can go up the river to the highest peak on this planet. Gautama laughed.

The three of them began to run to the river, and the night covered the land without a trace of starlight. When they reached the river, they lit a bonfire and roasted some food, but each had their own thoughts, and for a moment there was nothing to say, only the crackling of firewood in the fire came from time to time.

Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao returned to the chaotic realm The first day passed like this, they were not afraid of anything, but at this moment, in this darkness, they all had a feeling of bleakness, probably because their lives still did not have a clear direction.

I don't know how long it has been, and the night has become thicker, Liu Yanxiao suddenly said to Zhuo Junyi:

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about Mu Qian. ”

"He has nothing to think about, so nasty one. Liu Yan pursed her lips with a smile, very dissatisfied with Zhuo Junyi's answer.

"Everything happens for a reason, and no one becomes something for no reason. I think Mu Qian should have his own story, so he showed a bit of bizarre mania. Zhuo Junyi said softly.

"That's right, although I don't know about Mu Qian, in the 1,500 years we have been together, he has always been decadent, and he seems to be hiding something in his heart. Gautama said.

"We are not just one person, we are now made up of what we used to be. Every stroke on the canvas of our life has its cause and effect, and perhaps this is what Buddhism calls karma. Zhuo Junyi said.

"Karma refers to the emotion that comes from within, and then bears fruit. Therefore, the enlightenment of Buddhism is actually just to use all kinds of means to make oneself think more clearly, and then try to get rid of all the inner 'karma'. So, according to me, the first half of Buddhism is good, but the second half is easy to be misunderstood, and if we abandon all the internal 'karma', then why should people still live? What's more, the development of everything tends to be complicated, and it will gradually lose its original purpose and meaning, so Buddhism will have more and more misunderstandings and prejudices in later generations. Gautama said.

Zhuo Jun just smiled when he heard this, he was not interested in what Gautama said, but there was one thing he agreed with, that is, he would never abandon any "inner karma". So, Zhuo Jun turned his head to look at Liu Yan and smiled:

"Mu Qian's problem was originally the most suitable for you to solve, but I didn't want you to have too much contact with him, so I had to come by myself......

"Wait a minute, what's wrong with him?" Liu Yan glared at Zhuo Junyi with a smile, she didn't want Zhuo Junyi to think about Mu Qian.

"Isn't that a problem with that fool who doesn't even know how to respect others, and who is so arrogant? More importantly, he provoked me, don't you know? So I have to respond, it's not something I can do by beating him up or killing him, I'm going to find another way, to defeat him completely. ”

"Are you insane? You say he's a fool, are you stupid?" Liu Yanxiao was really angry, she couldn't understand why Zhuo Junyi would entangle Mu Qian's matter.

"Buddha Jiayun: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? So for the sake of everyone being an earthling, I have the responsibility and obligation to tell him that he is a fool. Wouldn't it be sad if I didn't tell him, and he wouldn't have realized that he was a fool? "Zhuo Junyi didn't know why, he liked to talk nonsense, and suddenly he made it again.

"You go die. Liu Yanxiao grabbed the golden hoop stick under her feet and slammed it towards Zhuo Jun.

Between the bonfires and the flames, Zhuo Jun reached out to catch the golden hoop stick, and then said to Liu Yan with a serious smile:

"Do you know why Sun Wukong wants to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"

"Because Heavenly Court gave him a petty official of Bi Ma Wen. Liu Yan smiled and said stunned, she didn't know what Zhuo Junyi was doing.

"No, because he's a monkey. Zhuo Junyi's tone was very melancholy.

"Because he is a monkey, that's why he will make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, which is his luck. It is precisely because he is a monkey that he doesn't know why he wants to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, so he was finally pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain, which is his misfortune. And now—"

As soon as Zhuo Jun spoke, he stretched out a palm in front of his eyes:

"Mu Qian can't escape from the palm of my hand. ”

Liu Yanxiao just wanted to say a word or two to Zhuo Jun, but when she opened her mouth, she shut up, because a person who should have appeared a long time ago finally appeared.

"Does the story of "Journey to the West" really have such a profound impact on your earth?"

"No, it's just a novel. However, later people were too lacking in ideas and creativity, so they could only grasp the wealth left by their ancestors, squeeze out a little bit of nutrition from it, and then plant a large pile of barnyard grass in the pastoral field of human culture, but fantasized about a great harvest. ”

"Wow, I haven't seen you two in 20 years, you two have grown a lot. Liu Yan laughed and became invincible, and you can actually say such a 'big talk', it is really a matter of three days to be impressed. As he spoke, he walked over and sat down unceremoniously by the fire.

"Hmph, I don't know how much he said before him was more fart and more asshole. But even if it's 'Big Talk', what does it have to do with you?" Liu Yan glanced at the sky with a smile, and then said coldly.

Heavenly Crazy Ling Xiao is still the same as before, making himself look like Liu Yan smiling, looking still beautiful and evil, and his cheeks and words are breathtaking.

Sky Crazy Ling Xiao only smiled slightly, and then looked at the firelight and was silent. He didn't come to quarrel with Zhuo Junyi or two, and he could see that Zhuo Junyi's thinking was very mature, so even if he quarreled, he might not be able to win the quarrel.

"The story of Monkey King, the spirit of resistance and struggle may be a knot in the hearts of our earthlings, representing something that cannot be directly expressed in our subconscious, so "Journey to the West" will always be remembered by future generations. Zhuo Junyi said lightly.

"That makes sense, but what about your so-called 'heroes'?" asked Tianmad Lingxiao, looking at Zhuo Junyi.

"This is almost the case with the psychology of heroes, but you want us to be used by you because of the so-called 'chivalrous spirit' to help you fight against electromagnetic civilization, that is too whimsical. ”

"I see, that's what you're thinking now. To be honest, it's not that much of a story. Sky Crazy said.

"What does 'almost mean' mean?" Liu Yan asked with a smile.

"Meng Kuaifeng has already left the Chaos Domain, you should know, right? So I speculate that the matter between Mu Qian and the barbarians is over, otherwise Meng Kuaifeng would not have left, have you ever wondered why this is happening?"

Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao were silent, they were waiting for the sky to continue talking.

"In my guess, Meng Kuaifeng probably didn't intend to recover what Mu Qian took from him, and the other barbarians probably meant the same thing. This is the spirit of the barbarians, they, in fact, Meng Kuaifeng chose to complete Mu Qian at this time, of course, the premise is that Mu Qian himself has to have this ability. Saying that, Tianmad Lingxiao glanced at Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yan with a very complicated look, and then continued:

"You always think that I am manipulating you and using you, but in fact I am not, I just want to help you achieve yourself in the chaotic realm, so that you can become the hero in your mind. ”

"That's so nice to say, isn't it? Your previous tricks weren't so low-level. Zhuo Junyi sneered.

Heavenly Madness slowly stood up with an expressionless face, and then he stretched out his hand to the sky, clenched his fist and pulled down, as if he wanted to pull something down in the sky. Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao also stood up one after another, they were a little puzzled at first, but they soon understood what the sky was doing.

I saw two large fireballs suddenly appear in the air, and then cut through the night and fell straight here. Soon, there were two loud "booms", and the two large fireballs fell in the open area next to several of them.

In the sparks, Zhuo Junyi's face gradually became solemn. The two big fireballs summoned by the sky were actually two stone tablets as rugged as mountain peaks, and each had four big characters faintly beating in the sparks on the stone tablets.

"Chivalry in the world, martial arts to stop fighting. Gautama also stood up at this time, and read out the eight large characters on the two stone tablets.

"The handwriting is good, not too ugly. Zhuo Junyi said lightly.

"You have traveled fifteen hundred years to the Troubled Lands, then you have been exiled for twenty years, and now you are back in the Troubled Lands, and these two stone tablets are my ultimate gift to you. Sky Crazy said.

"It's a good gift, at least those two stones are definitely enough. For some reason, Gautama spoke so inappropriately at this time.

"Now is the time for you to make a choice, do you choose to succumb to the rules of the past in the Chaos Domain and survive like the rest of the Chaos Domain?

"Now that these two tablets are in front of you, go and find an answer in your hearts, for it is about how you can put an end to the fifteen hundred years since you left the earth. After saying this, Ling Xiao turned around and walked into the darkness, but just as he was about to disappear completely, he suddenly looked back and smiled and turned around and said:

"Actually, what I mean when I say let you enter the Mingtang Pavilion is not to let you manage the Mingtang Pavilion for me, but to give the Mingtang Pavilion to you. As long as you accept it, Mingtang Pavilion will have nothing to do with me, neither Mingtang Pavilion nor you will need to listen to my orders. What's more, even if one day you lead the Mingtang Pavilion to be my enemy, it will be your ability. ”

"Why?" Zhuo Junyi suddenly shouted.

"Why? Why don't you use your stupid head to think about it: if you really become puppets in my hands, then are you still worthy, and will I need you again?"

"Hmph. Zhuo Junyi snorted coldly after the sky was gone, and he also turned around and left, he didn't want to see these two stone tablets at a glance.

didn't take a few steps, Zhuo Jun suddenly turned around: Liu Yanxiao and Gautama stayed in place and did not move.

"Why don't you go?"

"I know I'm going to turn back sooner or later, why should I leave?" Liu Yanxiao sat down by the fire and said leisurely.

"Do you just don't believe me like that?" Zhuo Junyi had never spoken to Liu Yan in such a cold tone.

"Of course I believe you. But don't force it, come back and sit down. ”

"Everyone has their own obsessions, and everyone is drawing the ground as a prison. But if you have a wide vision and a high ambition, then this cage will naturally be a little bigger, and isn't this a kind of luck?" said Gautama.

Zhuo Junyi still did not move, he would never give in to the sky: just with the words "chivalrous in the world" and "martial arts to stop fighting", he wanted to play with him?

"I'm already an invincible warrior in the clothes, but what about you? When will I hear your name as a ten-step hero in the Chaos Realm? If one day in the future, when I find out that I am a burden to you, I will really be very sad and very sad. Liu Yanxiao said suddenly.

Zhuo Junyi walked back, he knew that Liu Yanxiao's words were not nonsense, but the worries she had been hiding in her heart. But Zhuo Junyi didn't say anything, just pretended to be embarrassed:

"Okay, but the invincible man in the clothes, if there is anything to show off in the future, you should let it go to me, otherwise I, a ten-step hero, may never come out. ”

"Ten steps to the man in the clothes, it sounds scary. No, I'm going to change my name too, don't call me Gautama in the future, just call me Qiao Daxia. Gautama said with a laugh.
