Back then, she was still a "senior sister" who had just started for a long time and was not worthy of her name, and Qu Zhengfeng had not yet betrayed Yashan, and she was the "second junior brother" who was worried. After seeing the mayfly driving away, the Great Dream Reef of the West Sea returned to Yashan, and when he saw the sorrow, he received a thunder letter from Fu Chaosheng, and when he read the letter, Qu Zhengfeng happened to be next to him.

At that time, the relationship between the two of them was not very harmonious.

That's why there is this conversation that I mentioned at this moment.

Qu Zhengfeng didn't know where the letter came from at that time, and he didn't know who the big demon who drove away was, and he didn't know what he had to do with seeing sorrow.

Now that she has brought up the old story, it suddenly became clear.

It turned out that at such an early age, he, the "little junior sister", had already got acquainted with the big demon who was so unpredictable that even Hengxu real people had to be afraid of it!

"You've been thinking about it ever since. Qu Zhengfeng poured himself another glass of wine, and also poured a glass of wine for Jianchou, "But why is it that until now, I have suddenly been trapped in it, so that there is a demon obstacle in my heart?"

"Back then, I was just like a foolish world, thinking about it casually, asking at will, and I never thought that this matter would have a special personal relationship with me, not to mention that the original cognition and today's cognition cannot be compared. ”

Seeing sorrow, he looked at the wine that was poured little by little, and also saw Qu Zhengfeng's slender and slightly calloused fingers holding the wine jug, which should have been left by practicing swords for a long time.

"And in the old days, I didn't expect to be his best friend. ”

Qu Zhengfeng heard it, the front was an objective reason, and the back was a subjective reason, he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Then what do you think at this moment?"

"If you think about it according to common sense, since he is not of the same race as me, and I am trapped in human nature, he has a natural demonic nature. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, if you want something, you must give it. But I hesitated, and it was difficult to decide. Seeing that the past always gave people a decisive feeling, but now he frankly admitted that he hesitated, and even smiled, "His Majesty the Sword Emperor just asked me if I really know myself, I dare to say that I know eight points, but I don't dare to say that I know this world. However, His Majesty the Sword Emperor seems to be the opposite. ”

He said he didn't know himself, but he did know the world.

In the sound of sorrow, this is a very mysterious sentence.

Because she guessed, she was afraid that even Kunwu Hengxu, who had a "bounded" cultivation, would not dare to say that he knew the world, right?

That shadow is always deep.

Qu Zhengfeng's whole person seemed to be covered by this shadow, only the golden thread woven on the black robe could still reflect the dim lights lit in the corner of the building.

Between his eyebrows and eyes, he was finally dyed with a bit of unspeakable ridicule.

He asked again: "Since ancient times, the word 'heaven' has different meanings in the eyes of different people. There is the heaven of nature, there is the heaven of primordialness, and there is the heaven of domination. One derives the relationship between nature and man, the other derives the relationship between man and rules, and the other derives the relationship between man and the gods. What kind of 'heaven' do you think is the real 'heaven'?"

The question is a little vague, but more explicitly, it is nothing more than a question: Do you believe that there are gods in the world, do you believe that there are rules in the world, do you believe that heaven is just everything in the natural universe?

This time, there was no hesitation.

She has her own answers to these questions: "The wise serve the ghosts and gods, and the foolish believe them." There is a legend in the world that Pangu opened the world, and it is regarded as the 'Pangu Great Venerable', which seems to be no different from the gods, but it is only for my generation of monks. In the eyes of my generation, Pangu is a god, and in the eyes of mortals on an isolated island on earth, I am also a god. All gods are relative, and if you are absolute, there should be no gods in the world. ”

Qu Zhengfeng laughed: "But there are gods in the world. ”

Deity?

Seeing that his heart was beating, he was extremely sensitive to these two words, and he almost raised his head to look at him, and wanted to ask.

But unexpectedly, Qu Zhengfeng didn't go deep into this topic at all, but lightly passed it, and then asked: "What about the other two?"

"There is nature, there are rules. I only think that man comes from heaven and earth and has always been a part of nature, and everything in heaven and earth is nature. Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. There may be no gods, but the universe has its own laws. According to what His Majesty the Sword Emperor said before, people, and even all things with spirits in this heaven and earth, are afraid of life and death, so the monks absorb the floating power of this heaven and earth and explore the laws of this heaven and earth, in order to get closer to the universe of heaven and earth and obtain eternity. ”

At this, her brow furrowed.

What rose from the bottom of my heart at this moment turned out to be an almost endless blankness, and even the rest of the words dissolved in such a blankness.

Seeing her like this, Qu Zhengfeng knew that she had already thought of where the contradiction was.

The saints of the isolated islands of the world and the powers of the nineteen continents are all exploring the truth of this heaven and earth, but from the moment they were born, even when they were still in their mother's womb, they have been heavily branded as belonging to people, and they have been influenced by the rules of the human race, just like a person who was born with only one eye, and the world he sees is in this eye.

But is the world really what it looks like with one eye?

Not necessarily.

This is a kind of extremely contradictory cognition, and it can even make people creepy when they think about it, so that ordinary people dare not think deeply, because it is almost rebellious, pessimistic, fruitless, and meaningless.

But Qu Zhengfeng dared.

He had already put down the wine cup, picked up the wine cup but did not drink it, just looked at the reflection of the shaking lamp in the wine cup, and said calmly: "The rules of the operation of the universe that man believes are only in terms of the influence of the universe on people. From the perspective of man, the passage of time is the rule, the change of space is the rule, and the growth and death of all things are the rules. ”

Therefore, there are no gods, no rules, and all that remains is nature that can encompass people, but there is no deeper meaning.

It's a terrifying thing for people.

People always have to give "meaning" to everything they do, but in this vast universe, there is no such thing as "meaning", life and death, mediocrity or transcendence, in the operation of the universe, there is no difference.

There is no point in life.

There is no point in dying.

Even the very existence of man has no meaning.

I don't know how many people in heaven and earth have thought about such an idea, but how many people dare to say it boldly? It's like a window paper, if you pierce it, some terrible monster will come out of it. As soon as someone says something like "meaning has no meaning", there are so-called people of insight who stand up and reprimand and scold the person who says it for being negative and nihilistic.

Because when people live, they must always give themselves meaning.

Fear of life and death is the primordial instinct of the birth of animistic beings, and when the idea of "existence is meaningless" pops up in people's minds, the underlying deep, instinctive consciousness will begin to reject such thoughts, and people will take this thought lightly, and people will also subconsciously criticize others who say these words.

Seeing sorrow, he looked up at Qu Zhengfeng.

Qu Zhengfeng was also not shy about watching her, and even still looked at her: "As far as the sky is concerned, there are no rules in the sky. If there must be rules for it, and there can only be one, it may be 'destruction'. It's just that this 'destruction' is just 'destruction' in our eyes, and to heaven, it may mean life, but it may even mean nothing. ”

In one way, people are very strong, but in another, people are too small. Is it so difficult to even know yourself, let alone the world?

The meaning is mutual.

But zooming in on a complete whole, the meaning is really meaningless.

When she stopped, she had already figured out this truth, but she didn't have any suicidal and world-weary emotions, because she was like countless mediocre people in this world, in the most unknown depths of consciousness, afraid of death, so she admitted her mediocrity, admitted her limitations, and then lived with peace of mind.

And say to yourself, there's nothing wrong with that.

By now, she has understood a lot, but the original most urgent doubts have not been resolved: "Meaning itself has no meaning, and as you say, it seems that you should stand by and ignore the current distinction between good and evil, good and evil." ”

"It's nothing more than good and evil and good and evil. Qu Zhengfeng suddenly didn't want to continue, and there was a little more carelessness in his voice, "It doesn't matter if it's not so important." ”

Seeing sorrow and silence.

Qu Zhengfeng asked: "If one day, you, a great demon of your close friend, slaughter a monk, or even slaughter a fellow disciple of Yashan, can you be a cold observer?"

Seeing sorrow, he shook his head: "No." ”

Qu Zhengfeng asked again: "If one day, the monks of the world or even the same sect in Yashan draw their swords against you, a close friend, can you turn a blind eye to it?"

Seeing sorrow, he still shook his head: "I can't." ”

Qu Zhengfeng then laughed: "What about the Heavenly Dao?"

I was stunned when I saw it, as if I was being drunk by someone, and suddenly I woke up, and I suddenly cleared up many obstacles.

Yes.

How does the Heavenly Dao deal with these disputes in the world over good and evil, good and evil?

Heavenly Dao never paid attention.

And she, if she can't do it, she can't do it.

What she cultivates is the "way of man" and "the way of me" that are friends with heaven, and she has always been wrapped in this torrent of worldliness. Man can measure all things by scale, but all things do not measure themselves by the same scale, and it is impossible for people in the world to transcend the whole world.

The more I practice, the more I realize that I am small.

Seeing sorrow and Qu Zhengfeng are not the same kind of people. She pays more attention to examining her own heart, first knowing herself and then the world, while he seems to know the world first and then seeing himself clearly. But in this world, there is always a common end, and the two are not contradictory, and even mutually reinforcing.

It's just that some people are small and see big, and some people are big and see small.

She didn't cultivate the way of heaven, and she shouldn't have pursued to act like the way of heaven, the way of heaven didn't care about anything, but she had to take care of everything.

At this time, countless thoughts in my mind poured out, intertwined, and finally converged into a voice as loud as a bell-

There is no god in the three feet of the head, and there is no reason between heaven and earth!

As a result, all the demonic obstacles vanished, and the Dao, which had been vaguely appearing in the mind since the beginning of the question, began to become clear.

Seeing that I sat quietly for a long time, I waited until all my thoughts were gone, and then I got up again, and I actually bowed to Qu Zhengfeng: "I have to cross the maze, and I have been taught to see that I am sorrowful." ”

Learn?

Qu Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Interesting, I don't know what you have been taught?"

"There is no good and evil in the world, it is divided by people, there is no good and evil in the world, it is made by people, there is no reason in the world, it is better to seek truth than to seek one's own heart. Seeing the sorrowful smile, "I am a mortal, and at the beginning of entering this Dao, I didn't come to ask for immortals, and I don't have to use this to serve myself." In the endless universe, in the eyes of people, there seems to be injustice, but in fact they are equal. I do not admire the past, do not leave the present, change with the times, and secularize. I am the measure of change, the measure of all things. ”

"Equality?"

When Qu Zhengfeng heard these two words, he couldn't help laughing, his eyes were unpredictable, and there was a strange sharpness in his words, but his voice was a little light.

"Then do you think that the six realms of reincarnation are also equal?"

Six realms of reincarnation?

His voice was too soft, like a sigh of unknown meaning, and seeing that he almost heard it wrong, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning, wanting to ask clearly.

"His Majesty the Sword Emperor refers to—"

His Majesty the Sword Emperor......

He felt unhappy when he heard these four words before, and at the moment when he saw that he had nothing to say, he felt even more harsh.

At this moment, I didn't bother to listen to what she said, so I casually threw the wine cup that I was holding in my hand on the long case between the two, and in this silent night, there was a "dang" sound, which was very abrupt, and smashed back all the words that had not yet been spoken.

Tick.

The unfinished liquor trickled down the edge of the long case and fell to the ground.

Seeing that he couldn't react, he looked up at him.

Qu Zhengfeng didn't have any expression on his face, as if he hadn't done anything just now, he just lowered his eyes, and said bored and flat: "Get out." ”

“……”

It is very rude to have a word "roll" at any time, but at this moment, I looked at him sadly, but I vaguely knew where I had said the wrong thing.

But......

Everything in the world is so vast and mighty, like a torrent, that no one can change.

She looked at Qu Zhengfeng for a long time, and finally retracted her gaze, neither seizures nor words, just bowed, said "goodbye", then turned around and left, and went downstairs.

Just stood on the street again, and couldn't help but look back and stop.

The head of the building with sporadic lights is still a little dim, and the sea of stars at this hour has been a little foggy, and it is becoming more and more obscure when I look at the past, and naturally I can't see Qu Zhengfeng's figure.

Seeing sorrow, I felt that Qu Zhengfeng should have a lot of things to say this night, but in the end I didn't say it.

He is no longer under the Yashan Gate, but the new Sword Emperor of the Star Sea of Tomorrow.

After looking at it for a long time, she always felt that the sentence related to the "Six Realms of Reincarnation" had a bit of deep meaning, but she couldn't ask, so she retracted her gaze and walked back the old way she came.
