The Devil-Eyed Monk helped me to sit on a small log, and there were two bowls and a pot on the stake in front of me.

The Devil-Eyed Monk sat across from me and poured me a bowl of water, then looked at me and said, "I really didn't expect that now that Xiaoyou is injured, you and I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset on the edge of this cliff." It's really a blessing in disguise, such a beautiful scenery and a little friend to appreciate together, this is a great joy in life. ”

I looked at the ghost-eyed monk and smiled and said, "It's a hurry, I almost died inside the Dao Gate." ”

"Hehe, isn't there nothing to do now. There is a saying that put death and then life, and this is very good for you. The old ghost said as he picked up the bowl and took a sip.

I smiled, then turned my gaze in the direction of the setting sun. At this time, I noticed that the clouds in the distance had become a fiery red. In the afterglow of the sun, those clouds looked so beautiful at this time.

After a long time, I slowly withdrew my gaze. I don't know why, I suddenly remembered Qing Yao.

The ghost-eyed monk seemed to see what was on my mind, then looked at me and asked, "What?" Is Xiaoyou thinking about someone? ”

I smiled and said, "Hehe, I really can't hide anything from the old ghost." Indeed, many months have passed since the events of the Ask Daomen. I don't know how Qing Yao is doing now, and I don't know if she's doing well. ”

As I spoke, I slowly raised my head and looked at the somewhat darkened sky, and there was a longing in my eyes that I couldn't hide.

"Haha, it seems that Xiaoyou is already an old character, and he is still surrounded by love words." The ghost-eyed monk said as he got up and looked into the distance.

I smiled and said, "Actually, when I decided to be with Qing Yao again in my life, I had already decided to live for her. If anything happens to her, I don't think I'll have much meaning in this world. ”

The ghost-eyed monk looked back at me and nodded, but did not speak.

I turned my head to look at the ghost-eyed monk and suddenly said, "I have a few questions that I would like to ask the old ghost to answer. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The old ghost turned and sat across from me and said.

"I want to ask you if it's right or wrong for humans and demons to be together. Also, what exactly is the Tao, and is the Tao the way to meet demons and kill demons, and to kill demons when encountering demons? I asked, looking at the old ghost.

After hearing this, the old ghost smiled and said: "Let's talk about this person and the demon first, you shouldn't ask me if this person and the demon can be together, you have to ask your own heart, do you want to be with her." Follow your heart, and all self-recognition will be solved.

As for the Tao, everyone has a different understanding of the Tao. Some people believe that killing demons is the way to go. Some people believe that the avenue is the life of all things, and the cycle of all things is the avenue. So is the avenue in your heart the cycle of all things, or something else?

In fact, you already have the answers to these questions in your heart, but you don't realize it yourself. You should ask yourself in your heart, whether these have already been answered. ”

After saying that, the ghost-eyed monk smiled and turned around and entered the thatched hut, while I sat there and looked at the sun that had set in the distance.

After a long time, I looked down and smiled and said to myself, "yes, I don't have the answers to these things in my heart." ”

Then I let out a long breath and looked at the sky, only to realize that it was completely dark. At this time, the moonlight and starlight were already hanging in the night sky, and the sound of insects chirping around me also came to my ears.

The Ghost Eye Monk walked out slowly, he looked at me and said, "Hehe, it seems that you have already figured out the answer." ”

I nodded, and then said, "Thank you, old ghost, for your advice." ”

"Thank me for what to do, you already have the answer in your heart, I'm just telling you the path to the answer." The Devil-Eyed Monk said with a smile.

Afterwards, the Devil-Eyed Monk helped me back to the thatched hut.

In the days that followed, every day the Ghost Eye Monk would help me out to look at the sky outside. And under the care of the old ghost, I gradually got better.

I wanted to leave this place when my injuries healed, but the Ghost-Eyed Monk said that the people outside were looking for me like crazy now, and now I would only be discovered when I went out. In desperation, I had no choice but to stay here.

While we were bored, the Ghost Eye Monk said that although my Taoism was good, my body was still too poor, so he decided to instruct me to practice my body.

In this way, every day after that, I was woken up early by the Devil-Eyed monk, and then specially found me a pool of water to soak in. The water in the morning can be said to be cold and biting, and I tried to climb up several times, but I was pressed back by the ghost-eyed monk.

And I looked at the ghost-eyed monk in the biting pool of water and shouted, "You old ghost, I'm not done with you." ”

"Hehe, I'll talk about it when you can beat me, and you'll be frozen inside. Haha......" The Ghost-Eyed Monk laughed from the shore.

After soaking in the water, I had to carry some rocks on my back and start running. It wasn't until I was too tired to get up that the ghost-eyed monk took the stones off my body. After that, he taught me some exercises that even the body, but they were all physical strengthening, and it was useless if I really fought with people. And the Ghost Eye Monk also said that this is not for fighting people.

During this period, since the Devil-Eyed Monk did not eat meat, I was also forced to change to a vegetarian diet. During this period, I would secretly catch fish or hares from time to time, but every time I was caught by the Devil-Eyed Monk, and then the Ghost-Eyed Monk would punish me in various ways.

In this way, I have been practiced by this old ghost for a long, long time. At this time, a year and a half have passed since the incident of asking the Daomen. At this time, I also changed drastically, my body was stronger than before, and I always felt that I had more strength in my body. My complexion also changed from white to bronzed.

One evening, the Ghost Eye Monk and I sat in front of the thatched hut as usual, eating vegetarian food.

The ghost-eyed monk looked at me and slowly opened his mouth and said, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go down the mountain." ”

"Down the mountain? Aren't you afraid that I'll be caught by the people who ask the Daomen? I asked, looking at the old ghost.

"Hehe, with your current strength, those miscellaneous fish are no longer your opponents. The reason why I have kept you is because I am afraid that you will have an accident, and now I don't have to worry about you. The ghost-eyed monk smiled and said.

I didn't say anything, and the Ghost Eye Monk fell silent after he finished speaking. At this time, all that was left was the sound of me eating with the Devil-Eyed Monk, and the sound of birds chirping from time to time.

The meal was long for the two of us and we didn't say a word. Or rather, we don't know what to say.

In the past year and a half, although Monk Ghost-Eyed and I are known as friends, he has become my teacher in my heart.

After the meal, I cleaned up the leftovers from the big wooden stake as usual. And the ghost-eyed monk also walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance as usual. After packing up my things, I slowly walked to the side of the Ghost-Eyed Monk, and I also looked at the sunset in the distance with the Ghost-Eyed Monk.

After a long time, I slowly opened my mouth and said, "Tonight's night is very similar to the night when I first walked out of the thatched hut a year and a half ago." ”

"Hehe, yes. Time always flies, and in the blink of an eye you are about to leave this place. During this time with Xiaoyou, the poor monk was really happy. The ghost-eyed monk smiled and said.

I turned around and watched the ghost-eyed monk slowly kneel down, and then looked at the ghost-eyed monk with slightly red eyes and said, "Old ghost, you and I are good friends, but in fact, we are masters and apprentices." I, Wang Chuyan, will never forget you for the rest of my life. ”

The old ghost turned to look at me and said slowly: "I'm relieved that you can have such a heart, remember to follow your heart, and don't get angry with some things." Some people have some things, sooner or later they will be punished by the way of heaven, you just need to follow the way of your heart. ”

"I must take the old ghost's teachings to heart." After speaking, I slowly kowtowed to the ghost-eyed monk.

"By the way, don't forget to go to the Wenmen Gate to retrieve your long sword after going down the mountain, I didn't take that long sword with me back then. Nothing else, I'll go back and rest first. After saying that, the Devil-Eyed Monk turned around and entered the house.

I got up and glanced at the back of the ghost-eyed monk, and to be honest, I thought about the day we parted again. But I didn't expect that I would be so sad. The feeling now is like the feeling I had when I left my master.

I slowly turned my gaze to the night sky, and I had a very pleasant relationship with the Ghost Eye Monk for a year and a half. I stood there and watched for a long time, and then I went back to rest in the thatched hut.

The next day, I slowly opened my eyes. I looked around suspiciously, because it was the Ghost Eye Monk who woke me up in my ears every day, but there was no movement today.

When I looked towards the place where the Ghost-Eyed Monk was sleeping, I noticed that there was no Ghost-Eyed Monk on it. I hurried out of the thatched hut, and I noticed that there was no Ghost-Eyed monk outside the house.

Then, I searched all the mountain roads I had run on, and the pools I had soaked in. But there was still no Ghost Eye Monk, and I sat on the ground helplessly, the only thought in my mind at this time was that the Ghost Eye Monk had left this place.

I really didn't expect that the Ghost Eye Monk would take the initiative to say goodbye. I wanted to cook him a bowl of somen today, but he left quietly.

Looking at the mountain road I once ran, I remembered that in the past year and a half, the Ghost Eye Monk had always been by my side. At this time, in my heart, it can be said that there are five mixed tastes.

I slowly got up and rubbed my reddened eyes. Although I am reluctant in my heart, I always have to come.
