Chapter 2: A Strange Explanation of Pain

"Phoenix Nirvana?

Taeyang felt that he had been wronged. Why do you use a phoenix to describe him? He's obviously a man. Has he become a girl now?

"Of course, it's just a metaphor." The old man added.

"You're saying I'm a different person, aren't you?"

"That's right, slowly you will find that you are almost a different person!"

"Another person?"

"A man who even you are afraid to admit!"

A man who is afraid to admit himself...... Taeyang suddenly felt a wave of fear. Could it be that he has become the legendary - a lonely ghost???

Except for the lonely ghosts, Taeyang can't think of any kind of self that even he doesn't dare to admit. He looked at the old man with a frightened look on his face and asked hesitantly:

"Old man, you answer me seriously, am I dead and become a lonely ghost with nowhere to stay?"

Suddenly, a hint of coldness came. It turned out to be the white eyes of the girl. But it was this glimmer of cold light that seemed to be his hope. Because the girl's white eyes mean that his problem is idiotic. And if he is an idiot, then he is not...... Lonely ghosts.

"No, no, no!" The old man shook his head again and again, "Not only will you not die, but you will live well in the future and bear the responsibility you are destined to bear." And my only hope for you is that you will not shy away from the difficulties you will encounter in the future, abandon the procrastination, choice difficulty, bed cancer, lazy cancer, and mobile phone/Internet/computer dependence cancer that you have developed since the age of 20, and become a person who can hold up the sky and save the world. ”

Hiss~

When those Internet buzzwords fell on him one by one from an old man's mouth, Taeyang felt embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it, because the process of counting the old man one by one was also the process of his recollection, and he clearly recalled that this was him, and he was replaced by a fake.

"How do I feel like you're a little too much...... I feel like I can't finish any of them. ”

"Lad, it's not much at all, it's not hard for you at all, if you put your mind to it, you can do it. You have to have faith in yourself. Have absolute confidence that you can do it. Only when you believe in yourself will the world believe in you. The world believes in you, what else can't you do? ”

"I was lost, disappointed, lost all direction, and lost my heart to believe in myself. How do you want me to believe in myself? How can you have confidence in yourself? ”

Taeyang felt that the old man in front of him was talking - quite funny. So it became funny, but it wasn't funny yet, but it started to get serious.

"All in all, just remember to believe in yourself."

"I-" Seeing the old man's expectant eyes, Taeyang suddenly lost the courage to continue, "Okay, I remember." But there was a pang of pain in his heart - the baby couldn't do it......

"Do you know why a car accident happens?" The old man's question was too abrupt for Taeyang.

Taeyang is trying his best to avoid the car accident. It's like a person who is chased and bitten by a vicious dog and is afraid to go the same way as a vicious dog. It seems that the painful memories are too vivid to make the car accident a no-go. He didn't dare to touch it himself, and when others touched it, he would be very miserable.

"Why?" Taeyang asked heavily.

"Because of you!"

"Me!?" Taeyang would never have imagined that the answer was him. And he couldn't believe it was him.

"Didn't you notice that there was never a car accident on that road? Why did the car accident happen all of a sudden this time? The driver who drives the car is a veteran driver with decades of experience, how can a car accident still happen? Don't you think that's too unusual? After the incident, the police didn't find a trace of the cause of the car accident, don't you think it's too weird? Oh, and of course you can't know any of that because you've slept for too long! ”

"Sleeping too long???" He slept too long again, and at this time Taeyang wished that someone would come and tell him: how long he had been asleep.

"Yes, it's been too long. But given that your body is experiencing the three recasting processes of the phoenix nirvana, death to life, and life to death at the same time, this time is still within the recognizable range. ”

"Old man, can you explain to me what it means to die to life and live to die?"

"Death to life, you are obviously just in your early twenties, but you easily have the idea of suicide, and use your powerful year to create an impossible car accident."

"Can the explanation be in layman's terms?"

"In layman's terms," the old man said as he approached Taeyang, "kill yourself!" ”

"Suicide?" As if listening to a joke, Taeyang smiled, "How is that possible?" I just earned my first pot of gold, five million, I still have to build a villa-style luxury bungalow for my elderly parents, and I have to take them to the big city to play, I still have the girl I like who has not confessed, I still have my unfinished writing career to work hard, how can I commit suicide. Besides, how could I have so much magic to be able to use my mind to cause an impossible car accident. Old man, are you ......" Taiyang wanted to say, old and confused...... But the old man didn't seem to hear Taeyang's many rebuttals at all.

"Young man, you can't believe it for a while, the earth is still the earth you are familiar with, the people are still the people you are familiar with, and the hometown is still the hometown you are familiar with, but many things have changed. You might as well listen to my introduction to life to the dead.

"The reason why I use the word 'suicide' to make you understand 'dying to life' instead of using it in the first place to tell you what the whole thing is all about is because you have a heart that is born again. You have a strong desire to be born again. If you want to be born again, you have to pay a huge price. The phoenix can be reborn only when it is nirvana. To be reborn, the eagle must knock out its beak on the rock, pluck out its nails and feathers, and starve for months. And the price you pay for your rebirth will be ......"

"What is it?" A kind of fear haunts my heart, but after a moment, I am not very afraid, there are losses and gains, since the catastrophe will not die, then live well.

"It's hard to leak the secrets."

The old man is not pretending to be mysterious, but he really doesn't know what Taeyang is going to encounter next. But he still said that he always has a heart that believes in himself, and always gives himself confidence that he can. The world believes in you, and you can!

"To be born to die is to flee from the process of death to be 'born and to die' – to escape from death and come back to life before the process of death is complete.

"You've completed the step of 'Death to Life', and the next thing waiting for you to test is 'Life to Death'."
