Chapter 13: Nalan Jiu's Request
Nalan Jiu smiled meaningfully and said, "Then I'll say it." β
He looked at Lu Yu and slowly spoke, "The first thing, when Xiao Wei was dying, he condensed his life essence into a 'Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens', broke the void, and sent it to your body, let me ask you, as far as you understand, what is the 'Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens'?" β
"This ......," Lu Yu groaned.
"What, can't you say?" Nalan Jiu looked at Lu Yu.
"Not really." Lu Yu shook his head and explained: "Nine Princes, forgive the boy for being dull, the Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens condensed by the essence of life when Uncle Wei was dying was in my body, but I actually couldn't control it at all, let alone study and analyze, but when Uncle Wei was not dead, I consulted him." β
"Oh-"
Nalan Jiu's eyes were like electricity, and he looked at Lu Yu, "Then tell me, how did Xiao Wei tell you?" β
Lu Yu explained: "What Uncle Wei told me is that the heavens are the universe; Life and death are reincarnation, and reincarnation is control. The meaning of the wheel of life and death in the heavens is to control the cycle of life and death, crisscross the nine heavens and ten earths, and cross the universe. β
The Analects say that uprightness and understanding are for God. This is the principle of Confucianism. And the principle of a warrior should be self-respecting as a god. The wheel of life and death in the heavens, the spirit in the bones is the Taoist Tao nature, and when it is expressed, it is the true meaning of Buddhism. Shakyamuni's dharma phase, one pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, the meaning is actually the heaven and the earth. β
"Uncle Wei's martial arts do not respect ghosts and gods, and do not respect immortals and Buddhas. He told me that if you are afraid of ghosts and gods and respect immortals and Buddhas, then you will never be able to surpass the so-called ghosts, gods and immortals. Only in heaven and on earth, only I can achieve the way of human immortals, trample the Buddha under my feet, and enslave the nine heavenly gods and Buddhas, and the ghosts and gods of the ten earths for your use. β
"If you train the Heavenly Life and Death Wheel to the extreme, there will be 126,000 ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas living in the roulette wheel, supporting your martial arts fist intent, at this time, looking at the world, who will be your opponent?"
Nalan Jiu was fascinated by what he heard, and his eyes were a little dull.
Lu Yu was silent for a while and said, "Nine Princes, that's all I know. β
Nalan Jiu came back to his senses and sighed, "It's okay to die at night." Enough is enough. Lu Xiaoyou, thank you for relieving me as an old man. It's just a pityβ"
Lu Yu didn't dare to answer.
Nalan Jiu continued: "I understand, it's a little late after all. If I, Nalan Jiu, can be thirty years younger, maybe I will fight. It has been almost fifty years since I attained the path of a saint. In the past fifty years, I have stood at the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts, on the one hand, it is unbearable from the heights, and on the other hand, I feel deep fear. β
Wang Xuance blushed, took a stubble with courage, and said, "Old immortal...... Even you have times of fear? β
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs."
This once the most prestigious protector of the country in China sighed, sighed, and sighed, quite a little sad and desolate in the twilight of the green mountains and the twilight of the strong man.
"A person, no matter how powerful he is, what is compared to this universe? What I'm afraid of is time. β
Nalan Jiu squinted, "Time is the most powerful existence in this universe. It plays the role of an executioner, standing behind us, carrying a butcher's knife, killing each and every one of us, whether you are the Qin Emperor, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Ancestors, the Confucian Holy Taoist, the Sanqing, or the Buddha Maitreya. We practice martial arts, and the road ahead is difficult and full of thorns, but it is actually not terrible. The most terrible thing is - there is no road ahead. β
Nalan Jiu continued: "So every one of our martial artists should be grateful to Xiao Wei, it was he who used great perseverance and great wisdom to tell us that there is still a road ahead. β
"It's just a pity that the era of our generation has long passed. Even if I knew that there was still a road ahead, my old bones, half buried in the soil, would not have the ability to go any further. β
"But it's better to know than not to know. Maybe...... This is the meaning of life. β
Lu Yu arched his hand, "The Nine Princes are really open-minded, and the kid looks up." β
Nalan Jiu waved his hand and continued: "Lu Xiaoyou, this second thing is to ask you for a favor. β
"Nine Princes, as long as it is within my ability, it is incumbent on the kid." Lu Yu arched his hand.
When he said this, he didn't mean to curry favor or curry favor with Nalan Jiu.
It is simply the respect and love for the old man in front of him.
This Jianghu, if you say the four words of Gao Feng Liang Festival, I am afraid that no one will be more suitable than Nalan Jiu.
On the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many people have received the favor of Nalan Jiu.
And Nalan Jiu is the first Arhat to protect the country after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he is a man of great merit and a well-deserved hero.
Such a character, if there is really anything, if you want Lu Yu to help, as long as you don't violate your own principles and don't hurt nature and reasonβof course, this possibility is almost non-existentβLu Yu must be duty-bound.
"Then let me ask you first, did you think about the consequences before you went on this trip to Japan?" Nalan Jiu asked.
Lu Yu replied: "I have thought about it." β
"How sure are you?"
"Not a single point."
"Then why go?"
"For the sake of reason."
"What's the truth?"
"My own truth."
"What's your reasoning?"
"Worthy of your own heart."
"Then have you ever thought that your reasoning may be wrong?"
"What does it matter to me whether someone else is right or wrong?"
The two answered one-on-one, extremely fast, and when he said this, Nalan Jiu laughed.
"Interesting, interesting."
He straightened his beard under his chin, "Little friend, have you ever heard that rigidity is easy to break?" Sometimes, you get too attached to what you think is right and hurt yourself. β
"I know, but I'm fearless." Lu Yu is colorful.
Nalan Jiu asked again: "Then have you considered the people around you?" β
"Considered." Lu Yu nodded, "But how can things in the world really be perfect?" β
"Good."
Nalan Jiu nodded, "Lu Xiaoyou, the old man hopes that you can remember what you said today, and no matter what kind of choices you face in the future, don't forget your original intention." β
"That's nature." Lu Yu nodded, his eyes were determined.
"That's you." Nalan Jiu said suddenly.
"Nine Princes, the kid doesn't understand, what do you mean by me?" Lu Yu wondered.
"I, Nalan Jiu, beg you to do something. This matter may not bring you any substantial benefits, and may even bring you a lot of trouble, but I don't think you will refuse me. "Nalan Jiudao.
Lu Yu said directly: "Please let the Nine Princes clear up." β
Nalan Jiudao: "Half a year later, the Forbidden City will talk about destroying the gods, I hope you will fight on behalf of my Nalan family." I want you to defeat everyone who stands in front of you, and my Arhat who will protect the country in China for the next ten years is you Lu Yu. β
Lu Yu was stunned.
