The stargazing platform of Louguan is the best place to see the night view of Zhongnan Mountain.

Lin Lingsu, Lin Lingyun, and Duan Yanqing came together.

When they came, they only saw Ye Qianqiu, the real person in charge of the sect, looking up at the starry sky, Ye Qianqiu turned his back to them, and couldn't see his face.

From his rock-solid posture, everyone inexplicably felt a deep focus on the night sky.

When they got closer, they heard Ye Qianqiu ask that sentence.

"What is life?"

The first person to feel stunned was not Lin Lingsu, nor Lin Lingyun, but Duan Yanqing.

Duan Yanqing has a wealth of experience in this life, and he has had it since he was born.

When he was young, he was the prince of Dali and had a respected status, and he himself was both civil and military, and he was suave.

If there is anything wrong with life, it is probably not.

It wasn't until later, when the kingdom of Dali was in rebellion, that he fell from the clouds to the dust, covered with scars, and turned him from a high-ranking and suave prince into an unrecognizable handicapp.

Vendettas in the rivers and lakes, court disputes, he has experienced too many things in the past 20 years.

Once upon a time, he thought about dying, but he survived.

What life is, it may be to live in pain.

"Master, the guests on the mountain are almost sent away."

"Hanya Hachiyou is still here, listening to what they mean, it seems that Mr. Cong Wei will visit in these two days."

"What's more, Duan Yu, the prince of Zhennan in Dali, didn't leave either, and wanted to thank Shizun in person for saving his father's life."

At this time, I could only hear Lin Lingsu open his mouth and report to Ye Qianqiu.

Ye Qianqiu still didn't look back, bowed slightly, and said, "What do you think of life?" ”

When Lin Lingsu heard this, he paused, only to feel that the reason why Master Zun asked this might be because Uncle Chen's limit was approaching.

Lin Lingsu is still young, and his experience is quite rich, but if he wants to answer such a profound question, he is a little at a loss where to start.

But he suddenly thought of the experience of being a scholar in the Su Gongfu when he was young.

He remembered that Su Gong had asked him what his ambitions were.

He replied: "Born as a marquis, dead to build a temple, not for the noble." The marquis is famous, and the temple food is not separated from the ghosts. I am willing to be a god and give it to my ambition. ”

Of course, what was said at the time was just a child's words, and if it really was an ambition, it would be too lofty.

It's just that I heard the storyteller say that being a god is much more comfortable than being a person, so I said that.

But over the years, he has been in the rivers and lakes, and has caused a lot of bad habits, and even because of gambling debts, in order to survive, he has to disfigure himself, live in the mountains and wilderness, and be laughed and scolded by those poor monks in the mountains and wilderness in order to eat.

At the end of the day, it's just about survival.

"For disciples, life may be to live as much as I can......"

Lin Lingsu said.

Ye Qianqiu turned around, looked at Lin Lingsu, and said with a smile: "This is the instinct of life. ”

Ye Qianqiu looked at Lin Lingyun again and said, "Lingyun, what do you have to do?" ”

A look of confusion appeared on Lin Lingyun's face, and after a while, Lin Lingyun said, "The master once told his disciples to learn to live for themselves. ”

"The disciple didn't understand it before, so when the disciple hung himself from the crooked neck tree, he only felt that there was only endless gloom in this world, and it was better to live than to die."

"But the disciple now probably understands that life is oneself, and only with oneself can there be everything, and if oneself is gone, then all external objects will not be felt or perceived."

"My generation of seekers, why do you ask the immortals to ask, it is so that you can feel all external objects for a long time."

Ye Qianqiu couldn't help but look at Lin Lingyun with admiration, if he could say this, Lin Lingyun was destined to have great achievements.

No wonder Lin Lingyun is a kendo genius, and ordinary women would not have such thoughts even if they were subjected to a point.

"Well, what Lingyun said is also right, life is oneself, oneself is life, seeking the Tao is seeking life, that is, proving oneself, very good, not bad."

Ye Qianqiu praised Lin Lingyun, and Lin Lingyun smiled shyly.

"Yanqing, what about you? What do you think? ”

Ye Qianqiu looked at Duan Yanqing again.

Duan Yanqing was still a little stunned, and when he heard Ye Qianqiu's question at this moment, he reacted from his stunned gaze, and he said to Ye Qianqiu: "The disciple has been in a state for half his life, if you say what this life is, the disciple doesn't understand." ”

"What the disciple has is just doubts."

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "What doubts, let's hear about it." ”

Duan Yanqing said: "In this life, the disciple has experienced a lot of things, and the closest thing to death was outside the Tianlong Temple, when the disciple's heart was full of despair. ”

"But the disciple really doesn't want to die, in addition to wanting revenge, it's more because the disciple is afraid of death."

"When you die, you may not feel anything."

"When I subconsciously fell into a muddy nightmare on the Bodhi tree, I felt darkness all around me, boundless darkness, and it felt like I was falling into an abyss."

"Death is terrifying."

"But there will always be a day when people will die, and there will always be a day when life will decay."

"Life may be called life because it exists."

Duan Yanqing's words were very philosophical, which made Ye Qianqiu's eyes light up.

Ye Qianqiu has always thought that Duan Yanqing is a very intelligent person, suffering sharpens people's hearts, Duan Yanqing has experienced a lot of suffering, and he can already think of the relationship between life and existence.

Ye Qianqiu is very satisfied, cultivator, to the end, all the cultivation is the heart.

External strength can be improved through long-term cultivation, but inner strength can only be improved by speculative thinking, and without enough inner cultivation, you can't control enough power.

"You're all right."

"I often wonder where life comes from and where it goes."

"Life is first of all to live, and to live there must be all kinds of desires, desires from the inside out, and from the outside to the inside."

"Life is life because it exists, and life that exists can see, hear, and feel too many beautiful things."

"If life is gone, everything is gone."

"Therefore, I want you to cherish your life whenever and wherever you are, you only have one life."

"In life, you have to encounter such and such things, no matter how big the blow is, don't lose the courage to live, when it's time to make a choice, you must make a decision immediately."

"Especially, in this river and lake, there are too many restraints, imprisoned on people's bodies."

"For example, today's Xuanci, if he decisively dropped the position of abbot of Shaolin Temple back then, and chose to stay away from the rivers and lakes with Ye Erniang and live in seclusion, how could he be involved in all kinds of things later, why did he lose his life and reputation."

"For example, Xiao Feng was originally a good man, but now he doesn't know if he can get out of the shackles of the world."

"You all have to take this as a warning, understand?"

Lin Lingsu and the three of them listened, bowed to Ye Qianqiu and said, "Disciple follow the teachings. ”

Ye Qianqiu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "It's not too early, let's go back and rest." ”

When Lin Lingsu and the three of them heard this, they didn't say much, and they all left.

Ye Qianqiu watched the three of them leave, and his heart was calm.

What happened at today's opening ceremony touched him deeply, and it was precisely because of this that he talked to Lin Lingsu and the three about what this life was.

Not long after, Chen Liang's figure appeared on the stargazing platform.

"How's it going?"

Ye Qianqiu said.

"Everything went well, I deliberately made dozens of moves with that Murong Bo, and Gu Mozhi recognized Murong Bo, and at that time, the people of the beggar gang and many people in the rivers and lakes saw it."

"Murong Fu and Murong Bo have also recognized each other, and the news should reach Xiao Feng's ears soon."

Chen Liang said with a smile.

Ye Qianqiu looked back, looked at Chen Liang, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

Chen Liang was stunned, and then said: "There is a little bit, after all, I haven't really died, I don't know what it's like." ”

Ye Qianqiu sighed and said, "Sit down, I'll watch the sunrise tomorrow with you." ”

Hearing this, Chen Liang bowed deeply towards Ye Qianqiu and said, "Thank you for sending me on my last journey." ”

Ye Qianqiu waved his hand and said, "It's a pity that I didn't find a suitable successor for you." ”

Chen Liang smiled calmly and said: "Nine times out of ten, I can think about unsatisfactory things in the world, and I can do things for the head of the sect before I die, I have no regrets." ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "Do you know why I went out of the valley with you to find Xiaoyaozi in the first place? ”

Chen Liang paused and said, "Although I really want to say that the teaching is for me, I also know that I don't have that much face......

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "You quite understand. ”

Chen Liang said: "My biggest advantage is that I am self-aware. ”

Ye Qianqiu shook his head and smiled, and said, "You...... Actually, the reason why I went out of the valley with you is actually more because I want to see this world, and I don't want to let my long-term mountain cultivation become insensitive. ”

"Cultivators, most people cultivate the ruthless Dao, and as soon as they enter the Dao Gate, they will cut off the past."

"But I'm afraid that I'll become that ruthless, indifferent to everything."

"Even if someone close to me dies, there is no ripple in the heart lake."

"Living in seclusion in the mountains, not coming out for a hundred years, a peaceful life, it seems that he has abandoned all the disturbances of external things, and he only seeks immortal immortality, but everything is too much, so he may not be able to seek immortal immortality."

"So, I want to find something to do for myself, isn't this a kind of practice?"

When Chen Liang heard this, he said: "So the head of the sect founded the Shenxiao faction in Zhongnan Mountain, maybe even if it is not for the sake of finding the lord, the head of the sect will make a big fuss on the rivers and lakes." ”

Ye Qianqiu laughed and said: "What you said is right, there is nothing wrong with making a fuss, if the world is a pool of stagnant water, wouldn't it be boring, do you know that the older a person is, the more he lacks something?" ”

Chen Liang said: "What? ”

Ye Qianqiu said: "Capricious." ”

"Everyone thinks that the elders should be old and steady, not angry and arrogant."

"But I don't think that's the case, I've lived for such a long time, why should I restrain myself anymore, as long as I don't harm innocent people and don't violate the Tao in my heart."

"Then I am a longitudinal horse, galloping thousands of miles, meddling in things, jumping up and down, what's the matter?"

"Everything, it's just a thought."

"I founded the Shenxiao Sect, and I am really happy to see the disciples of the sect grow up one by one."

"I held the opening ceremony and invited people from all walks of life to gather in Zhongnan Mountain, killing Xiao Yuanshan for innocent people's blood hatred, although they may not know that I am for them, but this can calm the grievances in my chest."

"I let Xuan Ci cut himself, and so is it."

"If there is injustice in the world, indulge in alcohol and cut off people's heads, this is the rivers and lakes I yearn for."

"This is something I aspire to no matter how long I live."
