Chapter 53: Lian Yun's Question
After roughly explaining his identity, Huang Tianyi began to explain the relevant knowledge of the Taoist statue under the signal of Yeyang
"Legend has it that about seven thousand years ago, when the Heavenly Domain was not called the Heavenly Domain, one day, seven 'Demon Gods' from the ancient land were born, in just less than a year, they were completely integrated into the divided Heavenly Domains just like the Heavenly Gods, and just when the Demon Gate was about to officially unify the chaotic Heavenly Domains at that time, a self-proclaimed Fifth Heavenly Daoist Lianyun Daoist beheaded three Demon Gods alone. ”
"And after he killed the demon god, the cultivators who were slaved by the demon god were also rescued, but they still couldn't save the people of Li who were in dire straits, so the Lianyun Taoist walked in the world to spread the Taoist thoughts, and the ordinary people began to become smart after accepting the Taoist thoughts of the Lianyun Taoist priest..."
"As for later, why the giant statue was built, some people say that it is to commemorate him and the other four, and some people say that it is the Lianyun Taoist and the other four heavenly beings, the purpose is to be able to be born again one day to save people from fire and water, in fact, when I was a child, there was not much incense and people who went to worship in front of the statue, and it was not until a few years ago that the news of the attack of the demon gate spread more and more widely, and people picked up the god in their hearts again, hoping to be blessed. ”
Listening to Huang Tianyi's words, Yeyang couldn't help but shake his head, there are five in the sky, falling from the sky, sacrificing his life to save people from fire and water, and in the end, he only got a statue and those unfaithful beliefs...
Sighing slightly, under Huang Tianyi's recommendation, Yeyang found an inn to live in, ate some cooked food, and at the guest table, Huang Tianyi drank the soju that Yeyang poured for him, and asked in a low voice: "Yeyang, do you have any special tasks here?" If you are looking for someone, maybe I can help you! After all, I basically know all the people in the south and west of the city. ”
"Hmm" Yeyang nodded, and after saying the names and some characteristics of Shen Jie, Qiu Linlin and others, Yeyang drank the wine by himself, leaving Huang Tianyi with a sad face
The day passed quickly, and the fall of night made the incense in front of the Lianyun Taoist even more vigorous
"Come here, little one. . . Come here..."
A very soft voice came from a distance into the ears of Yeyang, who had just fallen asleep, making Yeyang hurriedly look around, and the voice did not stop because Yeyang woke up, but became more frequent and clearer
Following the sound source, Yeyang opened the window and jumped out, as the sound became more frequent and clearer, Yeyang's mind began to feel a little swollen, as if he had received some terrible information, until it fell in front of the statue of the Lianyun Daoist, the voice gradually disappeared, frowned slightly, looked at the futon that did not appear during the day in front of the huge statue, and had doubts in his heart
"Sit down, Poor Dao has something to talk to your little friend. The soft, magnetic voice came into Yeyang's mind again
Taking a deep breath, Yeyang looked at the night demon on her right shoulder, and found that she didn't have any warning, so she walked to the futon, sat cross-legged, and under the guidance of the voice, Yeyang started to run the exercises, and with the beginning of the exercises, the night sun, which was originally in the dark with her eyes closed, seemed to have come to a world full of light
In the world of light, two worn-out futons and a long mat sewn from rags covered the dusty floor
Yeyang, who felt the light, opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the middle-aged man who was more mature than the statue, with a slight patch on his robe, and the corners of his eyes were full of traces left by the years when he smiled slightly
Smiling slightly, the Lianyun Daoist asked Yeyang, "Little friend, can I ask you a few questions?"
Stunned, Ye Yang didn't know how to answer for Lianyun Daoist's words for a while, after all, if he asked it, it would be embarrassing to not be able to answer, and it would be impolite not to ask, he opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but he still hesitated
“...”
"You don't have to worry too much, the problem is not difficult, just do whatever you want. The Lianyun Daoist seemed to see Yeyang's little embarrassment, and said with a smile
"Please say" Without squirming again, Yeyang said bluntly
"Hmm" Daoist Lianyun nodded lightly, drew a square with one finger to the sky, and then drew another circle on the ground, then stopped his hand and looked at the night sun and smiled slightly
Seeing this scene and the smile of the Lianyun Daoist, Yeyang naturally knew that the first question he wanted to answer was this "square and earth", looked carefully at the heavenly square, and then looked at the circle on the ground, frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart: "Since ancient times, everyone knows that the world is round, but since it is a topic, how can it be so simple..."
Sighing slightly, Yeyang shook his head, he still couldn't understand the meaning of that side and a circle, so he replied: "Yeyang doesn't know if the head is round, and he still wants the Taoist to explain." ”
Shaking his head lightly, Daoist Lian Yun still smiled, he didn't explain or say whether Yeyang was right or wrong, but then asked again: "What is family affection, what is friendship, what is love, what is ruthlessness?"
As soon as these words fell, Yeyang's brows, which had just been loosened, wrinkled again, he had never thought about these questions, or Yeyang had never heard anyone other than Lianyun Daoist ask him similar questions, and his mind kept echoing Lianyun Daoist's question, and his slightly wriggling lips kept saying: "What is family affection? What is friendship?"
Looking at Yeyang's almost crazy appearance, Daoist Lianyun waved his hand and took a teapot and two large teacups, and then poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Yeyang, and the slightly floating tea leaves came into Yeyang's eyes
For a while, Yeyang was distracted, raised the teacup, and a familiar and unfamiliar memory reappeared, the uncontrollable tears slipped down his cheeks, and he wiped the tears with the corner of his sleeve, and suddenly smiled: "Having him (she) in my heart is for love, and people are ruthless when they have common feelings. ”
Daoist Lianyun couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Yeyang who drank the tea, and at the moment when Lianyun put away that smile, as his face changed, the world that was originally only light 'cracked' without warning, and pure darkness and light devoured each other
And Yeyang is in the light, and Lianyun Daoist is hidden in the dark, if it weren't for the two of them being close, Yeyang wouldn't be able to see Lianyun's figure at all
Looking at Yeyang, who was not frightened by the sudden change, Lian Yun nodded in the darkness, and then whispered: "I'll ask you one last time." ”
"What is a man, what is a demon, what is a god, what is a demon?"
