I washed it for a long time, until the hot water was cool, because my body really smelled. At night, I stayed in a temporary firewood room, and the space was spacious.

Early the next morning, the resident piled up a bunch of pills on her table, and gave her a bowl of sour plum juice mixed with green orange juice, which was so sour that she closed her eyes tightly and jumped to her feet.

Yinglinjuren's reasoning is that the more acidic something is, the more it will help her recover.

Ru Sanshui has some free time, take a pile of large and small plain coarse cloth in the house, measure and cut one by one, splice a liner in the morning, sew a second one at noon, and make two Luo skirts in the afternoon.

The materials were scarce, and none of the clothes made were the same as the upper and lower fabrics, all of them were like beggars' patched clothes, but they were also made by her to fit well. The clothes on the original body should be good-looking, and cover them outside.

In the evening, when I was bored, I ran to the housekeeper and asked if there was anything I could do, such as tidying up the garden. The resident said mysteriously: When you need to take care of it, you have your own fairy and phoenix beasts to help. ”

Ru Sanshui squinted and smiled: "Is this Penglai Wonderland?"

"Don't believe me, I'll show you some tricks. ”

The resident beckoned her over. Seeing him put his hand on the empty candlestick, he raised his hand, and suddenly several blue flames rose, and the scales shimmered on the wall. Ru Sanshui looked around curiously.

The dweller sprinkled some powder in a bowl of water, waited for a while, and when the bowl was buttoned, it was a piece of ice in his hand. The ice was put back in the bowl and shaken, it became water again, and with a snap of his fingers, a small red fish jumped into the water out of thin air.

Open your five fingers and play with the air, and there will be faint ripples. The ripples showed blue and green, surging into fanning, and three or five blue-green black-tailed butterflies turned into three or five blue-green black-tailed butterflies, which wandered around the house for a while, looking for light outside. One of the butterflies pounced on the blue flame on the candlestick, and after a moment of beautiful fall, it exploded into a brilliant star, fluttering and falling, and gradually annihilated.

The blue candle flame danced brighter.

Accustomed to seeing the strange spells of warlocks, this is the first time that Ru Sanshui has seen a living creature of change. From the moment the red fish appeared out of thin air and jumped into the water, Ru Sanshui's eyes were always shining: "You can change everything, you really look like a master." If I devote myself to cultivating, will I be able to do it one day?"

"Want to learn?" "Hmm. "Do you want to live as long as I do?" "Hmm. ”

The resident shook his head and said, "All things are me, and I am all things." Tao said, Taiji gives birth to two rituals, two rituals give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip gives birth to all things, and all things return to infinity. ”

Sanshui sat down honestly and commented, "Well, I don't understand." ”

The dweller blew his beard, took out the fish in the water, and threw it away, and the fish turned into a few red trails with a swing of its tail, and the arc-shaped trajectory extended about an arm's length, and then dispersed like smoke. He found a large enamel jar, poured water into the jar and made it into ice again, and added some fruit to mash it together.

The dweller continued: "All things and I are not single, but one and the same. For a hundred years, mortals enter the soil into mud, enter the water and turn into wind, become sprouts, and bear leaves and flowers, eat and drink, and give birth to new people. Not only did they become new people, but they also became infinite, turning into fish, insects, birds, beasts, mountains, rivers and trees—this is an eternal cycle. ”

"You are this mountain and this water, you are the old wild boar at the entrance of the village?"

"Whether you or I are at the end of our lives, we will become countless of them. ”

Sanshui looked at what extremely sour "medicine" was being prepared for himself by Juren, and raised Erlang's legs: "As long as this cycle continues, we will stay in the world forever?

The resident nodded: "There is no life in this world, and there is no death, there is no paradise in the world, and the world is a paradise." Those who have attained the Tao do not have a temple in the fairy palace, but they have no desire and no pain. It's not the enlightened who can change everything, but the mortals who can change everything—since you have the root of wisdom and want to get out of this endless sea of suffering, you have to understand this world, and if you understand it, you can be liberated. If you can't understand it, there is no solution. ”

He pounded and sighed: "There are countless preachers and teachers, but they only listen but can't understand, or take the things they get from themselves as real understanding, and in the end there are a few who have attained the Tao." ”

"But I saw that the mountains are full of all seasons, and the inhabitants have control over all things...... What's the explanation?"

The resident laughed: "The old man is not that capable. It's just that I've been idle for a long time, and I've seen a lot, and I know how to follow its principles and use them. It's more capable than you, and you can teach you too, and you can do better than me. These tricks are just more convenient. Without evidence and no borrowing, how can we control everything as we want? Everything has its own reason, or that sentence, it is just that it is not thoroughly understood. ”

"As the people say, all things are born and die by themselves, and Shennong is just a way to understand the grain and rice, and then teach others to control it, not out of thin air. ”

The resident handed the ice crushed with juice to Ru Sanshui, and said happily: "Just say that you have Huigen!"

Ru Sanshui held the jar, looked at the terrible things inside, didn't dare to put his mouth down, and shook the jar, as if shaking it would make it a little better. While pouting, he asked: "Which one is more detached, born or entered?"

"If you can understand it thoroughly, you are still willing to enter the world, which is not great wisdom. If you are clearly in confusion and still think that you are choosing what you want, then you are really foolish. ”

Ru Sanshui took a sip of ice slag and twisted his eyebrows: "What did you put in!"

The resident left with his hands behind his back: "It can make you see your own things." ”

Ru Sanshui's eyes are intertwined with five colors, colorful and gorgeous, and he is suspecting that he has been poisoned by some hallucination. The moment I stood up with my desk, the world in front of me turned gray.

No, there was anything else that was colored, and nine phantoms that were in the same shape as Ru Sanshui appeared in front of her eyes, encircling her. Her heart shook, and she subconsciously ran out of the house, and nine phantoms of different colors also moved with her movements.

Ru Sanshui quickly understood. This is her three-flavor soul and six-flavor spirit.

She raised her hand and manipulated it as she wished, trying to merge the three flavors of soul into one place. The three colors are combined into one color, which is an unfathomable darkness, and when it is released, it disperses into a three-color phantom. Then try to gather the six spirits, the more they gather, the more brilliant they become, and finally there is a dazzling white light.

When it was released again, thirteen intertwined and overlapping phantoms appeared.

The voice of the resident appeared in his mind: "Those who want to live forever, if they have withdrawn from the human world, do not enter the reincarnation of the human world, and are lonely. But do you still wish to be like me, save this body, hold this soul, give up the seven emotions and six desires, and never change?"

Give up seven emotions and six desires?

The seven emotions are joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and fear, and the six desires are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. If you give it all up, can you still call it a human being, and what is the meaning of the difference between life and death?

She can clearly perceive the vividness of those emotions, experience the vividness of those perceptions, each of which will shake her heart, and each of which will make her realize the reality of survival.

Do you want to give it up? For that kind of empty "immortality"?

Isn't immortality a long-term experience of "life"? Do we have to rely on the nothingness like death to disguise "life" and swim between life and death?
