Volume 2 The Sword of the End Chapter 35 Impermanence and the Way of the World, All Beings Are Equal
The young man leaned on the threshold and confronted an old couple, perhaps the atmosphere was not right, and the three eyes looked at each other for a while, becoming more and more solemn.
The old couple gave an explanation, and then looked at Chen Chang'an, without further argument.
Chen Changan was silent, but he didn't understand, the source sea was the origin of cultivators, how could they say that if it was abolished, it would be abolished? The life of a mortal is very short, and if the source sea is abolished, he is a mortal, who doesn't want to become an immortal and be that happy person? Can they really abolish the source sea in people's hearts?
Similarly, the source sea of the little old man in the wine shop was also destroyed, and the source sea was destroyed by a scholar with a sword, about the Beihai Sword Tower, in fact, Chen Changan has some understanding.
Qingzhou Beihai, there is a dragon in legend. In the era of gods and demons, there was a stubborn dragon prince in the Beihai Dragon Palace, who often made waves and called for wind and rain, and took pleasure in it. It made the people on the coast miserable, caused great resentment, the dragon clan is no longer the faith that people worship, so some cultivators formed a dragon slaying team, seriously injured the dragon prince, not only did the matter not be calmed down, but it became worse, the dragon king of the North Sea is a short lord, the son was injured, and suddenly became furious, regardless of the reason, tore up the peace contract, bloodied the villages and towns in the coastal area, flooded the coastline for dozens of miles, and the matter was in a uproar. Later, a green-shirted swordsman appeared out of thin air and suppressed the Dragon King of the North Sea, and the matter was calmed down.
In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the green-shirted swordsman single-handedly created the Beihai Sword Tower, and it was the Beihai Dragon King who suppressed it under the Beihai Sword Tower.
Therefore, Beihai Sword Tower has the reputation of the world's first sword in the world.
The little old man of the wine shop came to Zhongnan Mountain from Beihai Sword Tower thousands of miles away, but he was abolished Yuanhai, this is a big man with a head and a face, Chen Changan thought that this old couple must not be a simple role, and the person who can make the scholar make a move must also be a famous and powerful person.
"Tell me, why was your Yuanhai destroyed? I don't believe the statement that you destroyed your Yuanhai!" Chen Changan shifted his pace and sat opposite the old couple.
"Are you really Chen Chang'an?" the old woman asked a nonsensical question.
It's no wonder that she would ask this, since she came to Zhongnan Mountain, everyone knows that Chen Changan is blind, but the person standing in front of them is not blind.
Chen Changan nodded solemnly.
"I heard that you were blinded by Wang Cheng's stab in front of the Demon Abyss, and after falling into the Demon Abyss, you can still see the light of day again, and now your eyes have recovered, I guess, it should be because of the Double Pupil Origin, you devoured Queen Medusa's Double Pupil Origin. The old woman analyzed it in a few words, and she had come to a general conclusion.
"Not bad. Chen Changan did not refute, he was already sure that the old couple was a figure with a head and a face before.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, ours was destroyed by a scholar with the sword you have. The wrinkled old man pointed to Chen Changan's sword, his old face was sad, his eyes were red, and then only an old dragon clock remained, and he was pitiful as much as he looked.
Chen Changan took off the sword and observed carefully, it was the scholar who did it again!
Nian Nushuang gave the sword to say that this was the sword given to her by his master, and she had the Xuannu sword, so she abandoned this sword.
The old woman looked at the sword for a long time, her eyes were full of love and hate, she stretched out her hand, but she did not touch the sword for a long time, and stayed in mid-air, like a petrified person.
"I still can't forget that the demeanor of the sword of the lord of Zhongnan Mountain, a sword that makes people infinitely desperate, this is falling into the abyss, and I can't extricate myself for the rest of my life. The old man glanced bitterly at the old woman and said with a wry smile.
Everyone said how powerful the scholar was, and when the little old man in the wine shop outside the town saw the sword, he talked about the owner of the sword, and there was a rare and vague worship in his words, and then he looked at the woman, they didn't have too much resentment, and the little old man in the wine shop had no complaints.
In this regard, Chen Changan couldn't help but look forward to it, what kind of person is that, with such a demeanor, it must be the immortal who is beyond the world.
"With all that said, you should tell me who you really are, right?"
The old woman fell into deep thought, and said: "We had a son in our early years, but this unsuccessful boy was too sloppy, relying on us to support him and acting unscrupulously, arrogant and domineering, thinking that the whole world was his, so he came to the area of Hanoi and was killed by the disciples of Zhongnanshan. It was too late for us to learn about it, and I couldn't let go of this breath, so I came to Zhongnan Mountain...... As a result, you can also see that although we are the two elders of the Demon King Court, when we arrived here, we realized that we were just frogs at the bottom of the well. ”
Chen Changan raised his eyes in surprise, these two turned out to be the elders of the Demon King Court who disappeared out of thin air ten years ago, and they were said to have the peak cultivation of their life grid, and they were one step away from the path of enlightenment.
"There are waste people like us at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I think you should also be aware of it, they used to be characters with heads and faces, but here, all beings are equal! Speaking of the equality of all beings, I have to mention the ancient town of Externalization, which is an ancient town on the edge of the Nanhuang Strait, where it is the real equality of all beings, God has to bow his head when he comes, it is a dragon who has to lie on his stomach, the place where all beings are equal, and it is the forbidden land of God. That jade-faced scholar walked out of the Externalization Ancient Town and single-handedly created Zhongnan Mountain, and now that scholar stays in the Externalization Ancient Town!" said the wrinkled old man.
Externalize the ancient town?
Seems to have heard of it somewhere!
Chen Changan thought hard, and suddenly broke through the air.
In the past, the adoptive father and adoptive mother said that in the past, an old man from the ancient town of Waihua entrusted an orphan to them, and the adoptive father and adoptive mother were old and felt that there were no children under their knees, so they agreed to adopt the orphan.
Memories flooded into my heart.
In the small mountain village, the reeds were dried and three pairs of straw sandals were knitted, two large and one small, and they were defeated at the door of the house, and their little faces seemed to be smeared with honey, and they smiled very happily.
The elderly couple came back from ploughing and weaving, tied the old ox, and when they saw the boy making a fragrant meal, they smiled, and the day's fatigue dissipated.
The old couple was eating, praising the young man's cooking skills, and as they talked, they felt sorry for this child, this child was talented and intelligent, if he could study, he would definitely be able to get ahead in the future, but his family was poor, and he couldn't help him much.
"Chang'an, you are six years old this year, when you reach the age of ten, it should be as high as our chest, and then send you to the teahouse of the old Huang family in the town to do chores, although there is not much salary, but it is good to support you, if you can save a little money, go to a place called Waihua Ancient Town, when you are a baby, you were carried out by an old man from Waihua Ancient Town, maybe you can find your biological parents and maybe ......"
......
Chen Changan recalled this past, his heart couldn't help but be sour, when he was ten years old, accompanied by his adoptive father and adoptive mother, he arrived at the teahouse of Lao Huang's family, who could have known that on that day, the bad news came, and the werewolf blood washed the town......
"Nanhuang Strait...... Externalize the ancient town...... Looks like I need to take a trip!" Chen Changan pondered.
The old woman said: "You advise you to dispel this idea, the strait of the Southern Wilderness is full of demons and monsters, a little careless, we also had the idea of going to the ancient town of Externalization, but later, before we went halfway, we dispelled the idea, although we are the king of gods, but the small life is important, no one wants to die without knowing it, it is too wrong." ”
Yongzhou is the world ruled by the demon clan, but the place to the south is the area of Hanoi, which no longer belongs to Yongzhou, and Hanoi is to the south, where is the place that is really frightening.
Especially in the Southern Wilderness Strait, where is a veritable forbidden place, there are often monsters that eat people and don't spit out bones, and if you are not careful, your life will be gone.
On the way to the Southern Wilderness, you must first cross a big river, and there is a haunting river woman in the big river who makes waves, and I don't know how many people have been killed.
Chen Changan nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, I will consider it." ”
"Having told you so much, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree. The wrinkled old man looked at Chen Changan and said nervously.
The old woman swallowed a mouthful of water and looked at Chen Changan hopefully.
"Oh, let's hear it. Chen Changan glanced at the sword in his hand and said very casually.
"Can you use this sword to show us, just one look? The old man's heart beat faster, and he kept staring at the sword.
Borrowing a sword again?
Outside the town, the purpose of the small owner of the wine shop approaching him is also a sword, and the old couple said so much to borrow a sword. It seems that there is a lot of cattiness in it.
Chen Changan suddenly smiled and said: "Don't borrow it, if you have the guts, come and get it yourself." Then, Chen Changan took the opportunity to put the sword on the table, holding his hands on his chest, eager to see if the old couple had the courage to take it.
The old woman's heart beat faster, and she couldn't help but lift her hand into the air, but she still didn't dare to reach out to take it. The old man hurriedly took back the old woman's hand and said with a smile, "If you don't borrow it, we naturally can't take it." ”
In this move, Chen Changan watched their every move in his eyes, which confirmed what he thought in his heart, this sword belonged to scholars, and after destroying these source seas, it seemed that there was some kind of contract power, if he agreed to borrow the sword, they would be bound by the power of the contract again.
What a good calculation.
At this time, Chen Changan thought of something, and every time he took a bite of food, he went out with his sword.
The old couple felt a sense of loss, especially when they saw the sword close at hand, their hearts could no longer be calm.
"Our origin is imprisoned in the sword world, but he doesn't borrow it, alas!" said the wrinkled old man with a sigh of resentment.
......
Out of the door, Chen Changan walked straight into the house where the middle-aged man was, and said when he entered the door: "Hey, big man, do you want to borrow a sword?"
This is the man who Chen Changan met this morning, but he didn't notice Chen Changan.
The middle-aged man looked at the young man holding the sword, stopped chopping wood, looked at Chen Changan in a daze, and said in a lost voice: "How can this sword be in your hand?"
"If you tell you the mystery of this sword, I will consider whether to lend it to you. Chen Changan said. This middle-aged strong man came back this morning with a bundle of firewood, and the yard was full of firewood, all of which he had chopped early in the morning.
Looks like he's working hard.
The man retracted his gaze and continued to slash, while saying, "I can't say it, my efforts will be in vain if I say it." And for a person like me, who has committed a lot of crimes, what I need is atonement, and I have been chopping wood for reflection all these years. ”
Chen Changan was interested, squatted on the ground and watched him chop wood, and asked with interest: "Tell me your story, what mistake did you make that Yuanhai was destroyed, and you can only atone for your sins." ”
The man chopped wood hard, sweating like rain, but without a trace of tiredness, "The crime of murder!"
"Big people like you, there is a ...... who doesn't have human life in his hands"
Before Chen Changan could finish speaking, the man interrupted him and said, "I killed my biological parents, and my brothers and sisters were all killed by me." ”
"You're from the Oni Clan?"
The man was stunned, continued to chop wood, and said, "You know that I am a member of the ghost clan, and you still dare to talk to me?"
Chen Changan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said to the man: "You should be at the top of the sea in Jingzhou, why didn't you travel thousands of miles to Zhongnan Mountain?"
The man stopped what he was doing, clapped his hands, grabbed a cloth to wipe the sweat off his face, and continued to chop firewood before saying: "I once said that there is black and white impermanence in Zhongnan Mountain, as a person of the ghost clan, I am very curious about what black and white impermanence looks like, so let's take a look." ”
Chen Changan couldn't wait to ask: "What is the result? Can you see the impermanence of black and white?"
"Why don't you think I'm in this town?" said the man with a smile, the corners of his mouth rising bitterly.
"Could it be that the owner of this sword is black and white impermanence?
"Impermanence ghosts, hehe, little guy, let me tell you, the world still hears of impermanence ghosts, and you don't know impermanent immortals! Do you dare to say that it is impermanence ghosts?" The man's emotions fluctuated, and he fell into deep memories, "The way of impermanence, the world is impermanent, we are all guilty of people who are just in this game of impermanence, you go out and see, those who have been taken away from their origins, who are not people who are guilty of great crimes, they are all famous people in their lives, and here, they still can't escape the punishment of impermanence." ”
Chen Changan was puzzled, so he asked again: "This town is all a game of impermanence?"
"Yes, the guilty will be punished, and here they will atone for their sins and repentance, and like I am, they will get up early and stay up late every day, in order to work hard to earn money, and one day, when I am old, I should have saved enough money to redeem myself and return to my hometown. This is the game of impermanence, there used to be eighteen layers of hell in the hell road, everyone is atoning for their sins and repenting, although the hell road is broken, impermanence is still there, and their game rules are not over. The man said that the meaning of the existence of this town is a game of impermanence.
If you want to break free from the shackles, you must count your sins and repent.
It is equivalent to the labor reform in the previous life, which imprisons sinners, restricts freedom, and transforms through labor.
Chen Changan smiled stupidly, and felt that this black and white impermanence was a little cute, and his thinking was quite advanced.
After laughing, Chen Changan asked, "What kind of cultivation did you have before, wouldn't you also be a god king at the peak of your life?"
The man said disdainfully: "Just a god king, I don't deserve to lift shoes, I am the king of a thousand souls at the top of the sea, and everyone in the world trembles when they mention my name......"
Chen Changan wrinkled his nose and said disdainfully: "I haven't heard of it, and I am still the King of Thousand Souls, I tremble when I mention your name, blow it, anyway, I don't need money." ”
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded for a while, and he was speechless, if according to the previous temper, the God King would tremble in front of him, and now he was beaten by a teenager and lost his temper, what else could he say?
The world is impermanent!
Then, he continued to chop wood, and at the same time said to the young man: "Little guy, don't think that your cultivation in the spiritual realm at this age is very remarkable, I have seen more geniuses than you know, but how many can laugh at the end? can live to the end to laugh to the end, for example, you think you are a genius, but in my eyes you are no different from ants, when you reach my level, you will have a deep understanding." ”
"You are really not ashamed, you have seen more geniuses than I know, in your eyes geniuses are no different from ants, so aren't you as powerful as you? Chen Changan retorted seriously.
The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Changan, and said impatiently: "You are specifically here to Taikang, where to stay cool, and don't bother me." ”
Chen Changan suddenly felt bored, so he slipped out of the door, ready to go to the next one.
In Chen Changan's heart, he is actually quite curious, what wonderful stories do these big people trapped here have.
Turning into an alley, Chen Changan was in a happy mood, humming a little song, and walked into a courtyard with a familiar car.
What makes Chen Changan curious is that this lord is a little too big, others are busy before and after, and they don't dare to have extra time to rest, but this person is different, he is lying on the rocking chair, crossing Erlang's legs, who is lazy. It may be that you have met no one in your sleep, or you have dreamed of delicious food, and there is saliva at the corner of your mouth.
It's disgusting to watch.
"Old fellow, it's time to wake up, daydreams won't come true. Chen Changan could say loudly.
The old man who was woken up was excited, almost fell off the chair, and said angrily: "Where did the little guy come from, he is tired and crooked, right, you dare to wake up the uncle's lazy sleep." ”
Chen Changan raised the sword in his hand in front of the old man, and said with a smile: "Are you familiar with this sword?"
"Your uncle, hurry up and lend it to me. The old man jumped up, and there was only a sword in his eyes.
Chen Changan was very angry and withdrew his sword, and said angrily: "Tell me, what mistake did you make?"
"I didn't make a mistake, why was I wrong?" The old man had a long beard, which he hadn't combed for a long time, and he looked a little sloppy.
"If you are not honest, I will beat you!" Chen Changan threatened.
"You dare to ......" The old man was furious, but when he saw Chen Changan's unpretentious look, he immediately confessed and said in a low voice: "I am the invincible tengu-sama of the universe, you should have heard of it, what's the matter, are you shocked now? Don't look at me with this kind of adoring eyes, alas, blame me for being too outstanding, no matter where I go, I am an existence that stands out from the crowd......"
This is also a Tai Chi product, there is such a shameless person.
"What bullshit tengu, the dog I used to have was called a howling tengu, and it was much better than you. "Chen Changan didn't have a good airway.
"How dare you use the name of this king, and use it on a mongrel, I tell you, if you provoke me, the dog will bite you......," the old man threatened, and directly conjured up the main body, but it was a miniature little pug.
The little pug barked twice at Chen Changan, as if he was demonstrating.
In Chen Changan's eyes, he was not fierce at all, but very cute, so he smiled from ear to ear.
"The dog jumped off the wall when he was in a hurry, you dare to laugh at me. The little pug rushed forward with his teeth and claws.
Chen Changan kicked away, sat on the rocking chair with his ass, turned against the guest, hooked his hand at the dog, and said, "Come and give me a beating on the shoulder, otherwise I will tie you up." ”
"I'm so angry with the dog, I've never seen such a bully dog, if my origin is here, I'll let you be a mount for the dog. Saying that, the little baja dog still turned into a human form, and reluctantly went up to rub the boy's shoulders.
