Chapter 5: Ghosts See Sorrows

I don't know if this cave is natural or artificial, but the inside is very bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was the bright moon shining, and the rays of moonlight radiated tranquility through the mouth of the cave in the shallow part of the cave.

"Dog, you wait here, I'll go out and get something to eat."

Yang Erlang settled the dog, and with an arrow step, he arrived at the entrance of the cave, and with the moonlight, he looked around.

"The depths of the Jinling Mountains are sinister, and they really live up to their reputation, but how can they compare to the sinister of people's hearts? If it weren't for that woman, I should have studied in my humble room right now, but now I am on an unknown path. ”

His eyes widened, and the jungle was as dense as the green sea, and in the ravines and ravines, all of them, and the howling of tigers and wolves that appeared from time to time.

"It's a good Jinling sinister, but how can it compare to the sinister of people's hearts! Xiaoyou is young, but he has such feelings, and he must be a person with a story. ”

At this moment, someone suddenly whispered in his ear.

"Who?"

Yang Erlang's eyes were blazing, he only felt numb all over his body, and he shuddered, where was there a figure as far as his eyes could see?

"Don't panic, why don't you go into the cave with your companions?"

The voice floated back like a ghost.

"It's good!"

Yang Erlang nodded, he was confident that he had Yu Jian in his hand, but he was not so afraid, and the key was that the unknown was the most terrifying, since he was invited, he simply met generously.

In the depths of the cave, there was indeed a bonfire, and behind the bonfire, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Xiaosheng Yang Erlang, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

Yang Erlang didn't dare to offend, so he made a salute.

And the dog was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect that in the depths of this Jinling Mountains, there were still people living here.

"I used to be young in Kyushu, but now I am white-headed before I am old. Living alone in the mountains, no one asks, but there is a name for ghosts. I forgot my name, but my little friend called me a ghost. ”

The middle-aged man didn't get up either, but still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Without waiting for Yang Erlang to answer, the ghost saw sorrow and said: "You two have been doing penance all the way, you must be hungry and panicked, and there is no food in the cold house, only some wild fruits, you can make do with it." ”

"Mr. Ghost is also a Yaxing person, so we're welcome."

When I heard that there was something to eat, whatever it was, the dog pounced on it at once, and I couldn't even care about being afraid.

However, Yang Erlang is still standing like a pillar, just looking at the ghosts and sorrows, such a big living person, and a strange person, can stay in this barren mountains and mountains, I am afraid I don't know how many things in the world have been experienced.

There are still many unsolved things in his life, and he may have to ask for advice.

"Xiaoyou has something to ask, I also have a few questions, and I will ask Xiaoyou later."

The ghost seemed to have discovered Yang Erlang's thoughts, opened his eyes, and spoke.

"What is a saint?"

Yang Erlang didn't say much, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"People eat when they are hungry, drink when they are thirsty, and sleep when they are sleepy. And God, when you are hungry, you can not eat, when you are thirsty, if you are thirsty, you can not sleep, and there is nothing to do, and over time, there will be no hunger, thirst, and sleepiness. And the saint can stop it when he has desire, and over time, he will have no desire, this is the saint, the saint is abstinent, and the gods have no desire, which is beyond the reach of man. ”

The ghost quickly replied.

But what's the point? No matter who it is, don't you all want to be happy? Like a stone, it has no desire, and it does not need to eat or drink, but it is always a stone, without vitality, without searching. ”

Yang Erlang asked again, but his mind was still struggling.

"You are not a stone, how do you know it's free? Because all the problems are what you are thinking about, thinking about you as the center, and if you think that this is the case, others may not think so, because you are always in the circle of your own thinking. ”

The ghost smiled and said with a smile, he also wanted to be like that stone, and grow old alone, because no matter how hard he struggles, it is impossible for people to change their fate, that is, birth, old age, sickness and death, in this case, how to live, isn't the ending the same?

"However, you have always forgotten that no one lives just for himself."

Yang Erlang suddenly spoke, his gaze became more and more resolute, he wanted to know everything, everything that happened. On paper, he finally felt shallow, and he never knew that he had to do it, and he had to witness it in person.

"But who am I living for?"

Ghost saw sorrow and laughed at himself, "Maybe not, I put down the butcher's knife and live in seclusion, I don't want to get involved in too many grievances." ”

"We're still human after all, aren't we?"

Yang Erlang laughed at himself, he knew that it was pointless to sit and talk about it, but it could be regarded as cheering for himself, it was not terrible to have a difference of opinion, what was terrible was to have the same opinion, so it was not that people in the world all had the same idea?

Without individuality, without stark contrasts, how can the mind be elevated?

A wise man must learn from others, not be able to become smart at home.

"yes, I don't have anything to ask, but it adds to my own troubles, I think so much, it's better not to think about it."

Seeing that he was worried, he closed his eyes again and fell into deep thought, as for who Yang Erlang was, where he came from, and where he was going, he was not interested, because everyone has their own path and their own choice, but the road ahead is nothing more than a sharp word.

If there is no such word, everyone would be a saint, and it is impossible after all.

Nothing happened overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, when Yang Erlang and Goudan opened their eyes, they found that Ghost was already cleaning the fallen leaves at the entrance of the cave.

"It's really a few months of leaves falling, and the flowers bloom and spring. Time flies, the past is still yesterday, the past has fallen into a dream, you wake up, and a day has passed. ”

After the ghost saw the sorrow and finished cleaning, he looked at the scenery of the mountain and was stunned.

When he came here, the woods were still the same woods, but now they are no longer the same ghosts and sorrows he used to be.

"Brother Erlang, why can't I understand what you guys and him are talking about last night at all?"

The dog scratched his head, not understanding at all.

"Do you understand, you can live well."

Yang Erlang looked at the dog with a confused face, and suddenly smiled, he stood up, walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, and stood with the ghost, looking at the jungle.

This morning, the sun is shining brightly, and the blue sky is like a wash.

After a long time, the ghost said sadly: "Your trip is to go to the northern Jin Kingdom, the road ahead is still bumpy, I don't know where you got such great courage, but it may not be a tempering." ”

"Mr. Ghost Mingjian!"

Yang Erlang bowed down, there are still a lot of unknowns ahead, if you are buried in the Jinling Mountains, or get lost, it is really not worth it, and the ghost has lived alone in this mountain for many years, and he must know a lot.

"The leaf is fine for the north, the leaf is wide for the south, go to the north, from the time to find the thin leaves, to the tiger and leopard in the mountain, although it is terrible, but since you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you are biased towards the tiger, there must be something more terrible than the tiger in the Luofu country, and with your courage, there must be some fierce beasts, it is not surprising."

The ghost said sadly.

"Thank you, Mr. Ghost, without further ado, let's take our leave."

After that, Yang Erlang took the dog egg to continue to set off, it is better to forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, and the road ahead is long, and you have to go up and down to seek.

"Wait a minute!"

Ghost suddenly shouted.
