Chapter 1937: I Ask My Heart
Who is it? Who am I, Lin Bai? Am I the real me, or am I the projection of this ethereal so-called green lotus?
Is my life really coming out step by step, or is I repeating the path that others have walked, repeating an experience that has been walked by others and has already been experienced by others?!
In other words, all the people I care about are just some false things, the projection of this world, everything I have experienced, those so-called family affection, love, friendship, in fact, are just empty words!
Lin Bai never thought that one day, he would face such a doubt, and he couldn't even confirm whether he was himself or not. If it were a bystander, if someone told him such a thing, I am afraid he would laugh until he couldn't breathe, but now, let alone laughing, he can't even cry. Because he didn't know whether even the tears he left belonged to him, or the Qinglian who was isolated in the void in the dark.
What an ironic thing, if a person can't even confirm whether he is himself, if everything he has experienced is a projection of others, then what is the point of his existence in this world, and what reason is there to live?!
And at this moment, he finally understood why he always talked about him left and right when he asked the little black cat and the old man Savage what was going on with the 'chosen one', and used some words to prevaricate themselves.
Because as natural and nurtured spiritual creatures, they have a memory inheritance, and they know these things better than themselves. But although they understood, they didn't know how to tell themselves, so they could only hide those words in their hearts and hold back.
Qinglian was like a knife, silent, just silent in the void. But the brilliance it emitted was like the sharpest knife in the world, constantly slaughtering Lin Bai's heart, making his heart full of holes and broken to the extreme. Even at this moment, Lin Bai began to doubt, if he was not himself, then did he still have a heart?
What the heart is, that is the root of the soul, that is the convergence of thoughts. The reason why people can be called human beings is because they have a mind. It is precisely because of the existence of the heart that people will have joys, angers, sorrows, and hatreds. But if everything a person has experienced is nothing more than repeating the path of others, then his body is not just an empty shell.
And in an empty shell, how can there be a heart, and how can there be love and hatred......
There was a quiet place between heaven and earth, only Lin Bai and Qinglian were facing each other, although it was obviously just a plant, but inexplicably it gave people the feeling that someone was standing there. And in Lin Bai's eyes, it was not Qinglian standing in front of him at all, but a living person, a person who was exactly like him!
But he knew that that person was not himself, that person was Qinglian! But if the person who is exactly the same as himself is Qinglian, then what is he, just a projection of this Qinglian, just a shell that repeats everything that Qinglian has experienced?!
If that's the case, what's the point of my existence, and what's the need for my existence?!
Tianxin, what Tianxin, it turns out to be just a knife that pokes the heart! It turns out that this so-called Tianxin is just to let yourself see the 'other self' in your body, and let yourself know that you are just a phantom!
The clouds and mist gradually evaporated, enveloping Lin Bai and Qinglian firmly, except for the two of them, there was no trace of anything in this space. And at this moment, time is as if frozen, as if it is eternal.
At this time, Lin Bai also completely lost his concept of time, he just looked at Qinglian not far in front of him at a loss, constantly questioning his heart, questioning Qinglian, and everything.
"Why haven't you come out yet? Didn't Lin Xiaozi Mo encounter something? Time passed in a flash, and it was only a short time, and half a month had passed, and within this half month, the entire Abbot Mountain had been completely wrapped in dense fog, and even if the Yin Gold Water Beast had powerful eyesight, it was completely unable to see what was going on inside.
Grunt ......, and after wandering around the foot of Abbot Mountain for a while, there was a sudden burst of grunting sound in the stomach of the Yin Golden Water Beast, and when it heard the sound coming from its belly, it shook its huge head and muttered to itself: "Forget it, don't worry about him, I'll go fill my stomach first." Since Liu Ye said that Lin Xiaozi is that person, there should be no mistake. ”
Thinking of this, the scales and armor of the Yin Gold Water Beast creaked, the mist dispersed, and it turned around and sank into the mountain forest, and began to look for prey.
But to the surprise of the Yin Gold Water Beast, as time passed, it seemed that Lin Bai entered Abbot Mountain, like a pebble thrown into the sea, except for some splashes at the beginning, the sea surface still did not increase or decrease later. Although a long time has passed, there is still no movement in Abbot Mountain, only endless mist.
At the beginning, the Yin Gold Water Beast still had to come every three to five days, but later, it only felt that its hope was getting slimmer and slimmer, and it slowly turned into a time when it came once in ten days, and as time went by, the time it came to was also constantly extended.
"Will he succeed?" And in the sea area outside the abbot continent, as time passed, Wu Zhiqi became more and more restless, constantly looking down at the sea, as if his gaze was about to penetrate the sea surface and see the things below.
"He's asking his heart." Hearing this, the old man of the savage slowly spoke, his eyes looked at He Jiaer and Xia Xiaoqing, who were constantly looking at him and Wuzhiqi in the distance, and said slowly: "If he is not him, what are you going to tell them?" ”
"Whatever happened, I naturally said anything, and it didn't change anything......" Wu Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, a little stunned.
"Is it that simple?" The old man shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, glanced at the women, and said slowly: "You are really just a monkey, you don't know what a human being is, and you don't know what people think in their hearts. ”
As the words fell, the old man got up slowly, walked to the side, and then suddenly rose from the ground and rushed straight towards the sea! The body volleyed in the air, like a cannonball, and fell directly into the icy seawater, as if to use the cold and biting sea water to wash away the confusion and confusion in his heart.
"What did I say wrong? Why is there such a big reaction, you have to throw yourself into the sea! Looking at the appearance of the savage old man, Wu Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, and then asked the little black cat who was holding a pot of sea cucumber and abalone and stuffing it into his stomach like a sea plug in confusion.
"You're not just wrong, you're just wrong." The little black cat wiped the oil stained on the corner of his mouth, looked at Wuzhiqi with disdain, and then burped, his eyes were full of reverence and looked at the figure of the savage old man in the sea, and said: "The old man is the old man, he sees farther than us, and his understanding of people is deeper than ours." ”
"Damn, you all understand, but I don't understand, right?" Hearing this, Wuzhi Qi covered his head in pain, bared his teeth, and muttered: "But Master Monkey, I'm a monkey, I'm not a human being, how do I know what they think!" ”
"So you can only be a monkey!" The little black cat pursed her lips disdainfully, raised her hand and threw a sea cucumber into her mouth.
Wuzhi Qi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said angrily: "I'm not human, is it possible that you are a special person?" ”
"Master Cat, I'm just a cat, a lazy cat." The little black cat laughed at herself, buried herself in gluttony, and said nothing.
The entire Abbot Continent seemed to have returned to the state before Lin Bai entered it, except for the clouds and mist shrouded in the Abbot Mountain, which were a little more than before, there were no other anomalies.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was three months. And in the past three months, Lin Bai has not changed anything, he does not feel hunger, he does not feel tired, and he does not feel any emotion, he just stands quietly in front of the green lotus, constantly torturing himself, torturing himself whether he is the projection of the green lotus in the world.
"Am I my ......" and along his lips and teeth, this question has been echoing, from morning to night, there is no gap, even if the voice is hoarse, even if the throat is bleeding, it has been repeated, never broken.
And that Qinglian has been silent from beginning to end, standing quietly in the void, standing face to face with Lin Bai, not increasing or decreasing, without any change, just like even if it is a flood of eternity, it must always be silent like this.
And the leaves of the green lotus are also constantly trembling, every time they tremble, the scenes of the past are constantly playing back in front of Lin Bai's eyes, those pictures are incomparable, as if time is going backwards, as if it is being repeated endlessly.
"I asked my heart, is everything I have experienced true or false, is it a dream or an illusion?"
"I asked my heart, am I in the world, is it true like me, or is it a dream, just for projection?"
"I asked my heart, is everything I miss Qinglian or mine? Is everything I care about from my heart, or is Qinglian's obsession in her heart still dissipated and surrendered to me? ”
"I asked my heart, what I did, was it I did or Qinglian did?"
"I ask my heart, if I am not me, if I have no heart, then who am I and where is my heart?"
"I asked my heart, who am I, and do I have a heart?!"
