Walking out of the cinema, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

The two of them walked side by side on the wide road, and the bright light of the street lamp stretched their shadows for a long time.

Although Huaxia Capital is one of the most prosperous and populous cities in the world, the surrounding area of Baishi University is on the outskirts of the city, and it is already late at night, there are not many people and cars on the road, and the surroundings seem very quiet.

The night breeze was cold, and the clothes of the two people were rustling, like sharp knives, gently cutting on the faces of the two.

However, Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng didn't care about this, and the cold wind in the northern winter was completely different from the pedestrians who occasionally passed by around and wanted to wrap themselves into zongzi.

The two didn't say anything all the way, walked neither fast nor slow, and walked towards the bachelor apartment rented by Liu Xi.

Perhaps because it was too quiet, Liu Xi broke the silence first and asked casually, "Aren't you going back to General Ye's house?"

Qiu Changsheng chuckled and said, "You said it was General Ye's house, what should I do when I go back?"

Seeing him say this, Liu Xi paused, and didn't know what to say.

"Actually, whether you mean it or not, in the end you still occupy his son's body, and in a way, you are actually his son too. ”

Liu Xi thought for a while and said, "We cultivators pay attention to all fate, fate comes and goes is a cause, and there is a cause and effect to always have it. Today you are the son of General Ye, and it is also the providential arrangement in the dark, no matter what, the fate between you and him is already doomed. From what I know about you, you have never been an escapist person, why are you so repulsive to General Ye?"

A smile appeared on Qiu Changsheng's face, and he didn't answer immediately, but thought seriously for a moment before saying, "Have you forgotten what I once told you?" The will of this world has always known about our existence and has always wanted to integrate us into this world. Family affection is its most powerful means, using the fetters of family affection to bind you and me, so that we can unconsciously and completely integrate with the world. ”

He stared at Liu Xi with a serious expression: "You are the best example of the past, even that stupid cat can see it, so I don't want to go back with you, you haven't realized it yet?"

Liu Xi raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes looked a little deep and blurry under the yellow light of the street lamp.

Qiu Changsheng's expression was stunned, and for some reason he suddenly regretted it in his heart, his words just now seemed to be too Meng Lang.

Liu Xi lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covered the loneliness under her eyes, she took two steps forward, and said softly: "Zifei fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

Qiu Changsheng didn't speak, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Zi is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?

In other words, if you're not me, how do you know I'm having fun?

But Qiu Changsheng knew, he always knew that Liu Xi was happy in it.

For Liu Xi, who has not known what family affection has been since he was a child, the unreserved family affection undoubtedly pierced Liu Xi's weakness. It's not that Liu Xi doesn't understand that the more he indulges in the real family and family, the deeper he integrates with the world, until he can no longer get out of it.

Monks have cultivated the Tao all their lives, and there are very few who can cultivate to the tribulation period, and all they seek is nothing more than to shatter the void, and from then on jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, live forever and live forever with the sky.

The so-called ascension is actually liberation. Get rid of all the shackles of the world, cut off all the shackles, and walk naked again and again, so that it is possible to successfully shatter the void and ascend.

People are very strange, from coming from nothing, to trying everything to get everything, and finally leaving with nothing. Leaving aside the process in between, it's like a fatalistic tragedy. Just like Sisyphus in ancient Greek mythology, every day he pushed a stone up the mountain, and when he reached the top of the mountain, the stone would roll to the bottom of the mountain again, and then push it up to the top of the mountain...... This cycle repeats itself, forever circulating, as if the Buddha is doing useless work.

Some people say that people are born with a tragedy, because being born means that they begin to wait for death, and they clearly know that they can only live for a few decades, and this process cannot be changed at all, so they will scream when they land.

Why is it so hard for a monk to ascend?

In order to ascend, to live forever, to be at ease, the monks practiced desperately, desperately plundering the resources of heaven and earth to strengthen their bodies. The more you get from heaven and earth, the more difficult it is to break the bonds of heaven and earth if you want to get rid of the shackles of heaven and earth. But if you want to ascend, you must have enough strength, and in order to get the strength, you will inevitably keep plundering the resources of heaven and earth......

It's like a ring, the cycle repeats, the beginning is the end. So much so that when it comes to the final ascension and tribulation, it is necessary to return all the things obtained from heaven and earth to heaven and earth, and if there is a trace of uncleanness, it will be crushed by the heavenly tribulation.

If he was in the world of cultivation, Qiu Changsheng would not mind being too deeply involved with the world, because from the moment he was born, he was destined to be closely related to the world of cultivation.

And in this world of the end of the law, Qiu Changsheng drew a clear line with the world everywhere, and was cautious and cautious in every step and every action, for fear of being too involved with the world.

Why?

Because for this end of the world, he, Qiu Changsheng and Mo Yun are all outsiders. There is no heel in this world, and naturally there is no tie-in.

Theoretically speaking, it is not difficult for Liu Xi, Qiu Changsheng and Mo Yun to leave this world, as long as they find the right way, they can leave. Just like when they came to this end-of-law world through the Abyss Demon Cave, as long as they found a place similar to the Abyss Demon Cave, they could also return to the cultivation world.

Of course, the premise is that it is not deeply involved in this end of the world.

A visitor from the heavens appeared in the end of the world, and as the will of the world of the end of the world, he naturally sensed the existence of Qiu Changsheng and Liu Xi. So the will of the world arranged a fateful life experience for these three extraterrestrial visitors, so that they could not help but have endless involvement with this world.

Their relationship with everyone in this world, everything they do, is like invisible chains, firmly binding them in this world, cutting and tidying up.

When the time comes, when they are leaving, it will not be as relaxed and casual as when they came, without experiencing five labors and seven injuries, without experiencing near-death and survival, without experiencing many struggles, and it is impossible to get rid of the shackles of this world.

Qiu Changsheng understands this truth, and Mo Yun also understands this truth, so how can Liu Xi not understand this truth?

Qiu Changsheng and Mo Yun have always wanted to find a way back, but Liu Xi always felt that she couldn't go back, because in her subconscious, she already knew that she was too deeply tied to the end of the world, so she couldn't go back.

But she was willing.

Faced with Qiu Changsheng's reminder, she chose to turn a blind eye and listen to it.

She said to him: Zi Fei is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?

Qiu Changsheng was not an eventful person, on the contrary, even his master, Fairy Ziying, said that he was an indifferent person. As an indifferent person, how is it possible to meddle in things?

He has always been a person who doesn't care about himself, as long as he doesn't provoke him, even if there are two groups of people around him who are fighting for life and death, he won't even look at it.

But......

Liu Xi is different.

As Ziying Fairy said, when Qiu Changsheng first saw Liu Xi, he behaved differently than usual. Such an indifferent person actually laughed with Liu Xi for the first time.

He, a junior who had just stepped into the cultivation world, went to joke with Fairy Liu Xi, who was already in the Jindan stage, and it was not funny at all. If you were a fool, you might not do this, but Qiu Changsheng, who is known for his intelligence, did it.

Fortunately, Liu Xi and Ziying Fairy are best friends, and it seems that it is not good to deal with the juniors, and they also laughed with him.

Standing aside and looking at the two of them who were talking and laughing, Ziying Fairy pinched a cold sweat for the apprentice in the palm of her hand, and was very worried that Liu Xi would suddenly burst out and hurt people, although it would not kill Qiu Changsheng, but she would definitely beat him up.

Fortunately, things are not so bad, Liu Xi, who has always been cautious, did not care about Qiu Changsheng's offense for the first time.

Until now, Fairy Ziying thought it was her own face, so she avoided Qiu Changsheng being beaten.

Similarly, until now, Fairy Ziying still didn't quite understand why her apprentice was different from Liu Xi?

……

Liu Xi's sentence was too strong, and it easily ended the conversation between the two.

The two walked silently for a while, and then Qiu Changsheng spoke: "It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to foam and wet each other." ”

The original text of "The Great Master of Zhuangzi" is: The spring is dry, and the fish is on the land. Wet, wet, wet, not as forgotten in the rivers and lakes. It means that because the spring water has dried up, the two fish are forced to breathe at each other and wet each other with foam to keep them moist. They can't help but feel nostalgic for the old days when they didn't know each other in the rivers and lakes, and they lived freely.

The meaning of Qiu Changsheng when he said this sentence was also to persuade Liu Xi, originally she and Li Mingfang, Liu Minze and others had nothing to do with each other. Living together seems to be happy and happy, but after all, they will be separated due to death and other reasons, and then sad and nostalgic. Why not forget each other and be more free?

Liu Xi smiled and sighed lightly: "Zifei fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

This sentence again, saying the same thing twice, means that Liu Xi is unusually firm.

Qiu Changsheng shook his head lightly and sighed: "In less than a year, the warmth of the world in your heart exceeds the cultivation of the master for hundreds of years?"

Liu Xi smiled and said: "Shimen is in my heart, always as high as the sky, and I dare not forget it at any time." However, the parents are around, within reach, short but warm. If I can't return to the Heavenly Dao Sect again, the masters and brothers may be saddened, and they will return to normal after a while. Cultivators have a long lifespan, and they are used to seeing life and death, so they naturally don't care too much. ”

"But Li Mingfang is different from Liu Minze, they treat me like a treasure and do anything for me. Once I am gone, they will be miserable and lonely for the rest of their lives. How could I be so ruthless and put my parents in such a miserable situation?"

Qiu Changsheng didn't speak, he knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't save Liu Xi's heart. She is too entangled with this world, not because she has no way to get out, but because she is not willing to leave at all.

"If you find your way back, will you go with me and Mo Yun?" asked Qiu Changsheng.

Liu Xi smiled: "Let's go, of course you can go." Knowing the method, it's not like you can leave if you want to, you can stay if you want to. ”

Qiu Changsheng also smiled, he understood what Liu Xi meant, he had to go, but he had to wait until Li Mingfang and Liu Minze passed away.

Well, she was really poisoned.

Qiu Changsheng completely cut off the idea of persuading Liu Xi, he was not good at persuading others. He has always been reasonable, and when the reason doesn't make sense, he will do it.

"I thought about it carefully, what you said also makes sense, General Ye's home, I will take the time to go back and have a look. ”

I don't know why, Qiu Changsheng's words suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, seemed very surprised, and asked a little blankly, "Ah, what did you say?"

Qiu Changsheng stopped, looked at Liu Xi's eyes, and said slowly but forcefully: "I said, I should take the time to go back to General Ye's house to have a look." What you said is actually reasonable, blindly avoiding is not the way, I occupy this body, and I should fulfill the corresponding obligations for the original owner of this body. Today's fruit, the cause of the day before, always has to be returned. ”

Under the faint yellow street lights, Qiu Changsheng's eyes looked extremely deep and a little scorching.

Liu Xi avoided his gaze, lowered his head slightly and said, "That's good." ”

Qiu Changsheng didn't speak, he knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't save Liu Xi's heart. She is too entangled with this world, not because she has no way to get out, but because she is not willing to leave at all.

"If you find your way back, will you go with me and Mo Yun?" asked Qiu Changsheng.

Liu Xi smiled: "Let's go, of course you can go." Knowing the method, it's not like you can leave if you want to, you can stay if you want to. ”

Qiu Changsheng also smiled, he understood what Liu Xi meant, he had to go, but he had to wait until Li Mingfang and Liu Minze passed away.
