I was thinking about Xiaoxue in my heart, so I quickly brought her back safely, and asked Li Damin where Xiaoxue was.

Li Damin waved his hand and said, why are you in a hurry, drink tea and drink tea, I have other things to do with you.

This is his world, Xiaoxue is still in his hands, and I have to drink tea and chat patiently. I asked him where this painting came from, and if it was Li Cheng's real work? Li Damin laughed: "What a real handiwork, this is my own painting." ”

"What's that?" My eyes widened, "You painted this painting yourself?!" ”

Li Damin nodded: "Speaking in detail, it's a bit similar to the creation of the night sky." I realized it in the realm of the sky that never sleeps. Or I have to thank him, and I will repay him in return. You can interpret this kind of magic of mine as making a movie, the number of frames of the movie I shoot is enough, and it is laid out with a sense of space, so you feel realistic everywhere in this fugue, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is also a virtual technology. ”

I took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "It's a good metaphor to think of creating a landscape as making a movie." ”

"I'm saying this to make it easier for you to understand," Li Damin said: "The truth of creating the environment is very deep, and the cultivation system required is extremely complex. ”

"How did you come up with this?" I asked.

Li Damin smiled faintly and didn't speak, took a sip of tea with a teacup, and waved his hand: "Brother Crane, go." ”

The crane turned its head, staggered out of the house, came to the eaves of the porch outside, suddenly spread its wings, looked up to the sky and chirped, and then flapped its wings and flew up, and in a pale green of the courtyard, the white crane flew away.

I was a little distracted, and I felt that I had never felt like I had ever lived so big, and I couldn't say what it was, it was similar to going back to basics. In this high-pressure society, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, closed and stuffy offices everywhere, and there are partitions that separate people and people everywhere.

"Well, I don't ask or understand the principle of your creation, so what did you base on to make such a world?" I asked.

"One is to refer to Li Cheng's original paintings," Li Damin said: "The other is that I have read some cheats and classics about immortals, and there are very old fairy movies, creating such a virtual realm little by little." In the future, you can also expand your knowledge and watch more Chinese paintings, which are especially important in ancient Chinese landscape paintings, and you can wander in them. No matter what you study, even if it is a very illusory and avant-garde field, you must have a foundation of knowledge and knowledge, like the night sky, even if you give him the magic power to the sky, it is only a cannon for the illiterate, and what can be played is limited. ”

Li Damin was full of disdain for the night sky.

I didn't speak, every time I saw Li Damin, I wanted to condemn him for the wrong things he had done, but every time he spoke eloquently, he said a bunch of deafening voices, and I was speechless every time.

"Well, you tell me these things now, I don't understand," I said, "I believe you won't let me into the painting for nothing, there must be something, you have always wanted me to help, what is it?" ”

Li Damin looked at me, pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "You come with me." ”

I followed him out through the back door, and there was a courtyard behind me, and I walked down the corridor to a side room, where Li Damin gestured to me to open the door.

All the doors here are not pushed, but pulled on the horizontal axis. I opened the door with a very warm inner room, with a carpet similar to tatami mats on the floor, and elegant danqing flowers and plants hanging on the wall, and a person sleeping in the middle of the room, I recognized it at a glance, it was Xiaoxue!

Xiaoxue slept deeply, revealing her fair shoulders and neck, her black hair scattered next to the pillow, and her body was covered with a flower quilt. Next to the bed, a small copper incense burner resembling the blooming petals of a flower burned, and a faint white smoke rose from the cracks.

"Don't worry." Li Damin laughed.

I closed the door and pondered, "You mean I can only take Xiaoxue away if I help you?" ”

"Look, think about it." Li Damin said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you will think too much, thinking that I will use Xiaoxue to blackmail you, so I will show you Xiaoxue first, no matter whether you help this favor or not, to what extent, I will not break my promise and hand over Xiaoxue to you." ”

I breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Li Damin, sighed softly, and said Sun Guanzhu's words, "Damin, a beautiful woman, why not be a thief." ”

Li Damin waved his hand: "Lin Cong, I don't talk to you about values, I've talked to you countless times, and my grinding lips are thin, so it's boring to say." Anyway, one person has one way to live, you think it's good, I think it's good, that's fine, you don't have to be exactly the same, don't you say? ”

"But you can't hurt anyone, can you?" I asked rhetorically.

Li Damin slowly paced forward along the corridor with his hands behind his back, and I walked two quick steps to keep up with him.

He said slowly as he walked: "Lin Cong, there are only two kinds of people in this world who can be completely harmless. One is the great ability and great realm, cultivating to reach the sky, the means and realm are close to the Tao, they will not interfere in everything, and they will have heavenly retribution; There is also a kind of waste, a good old man, who will not embarrass others or hurt others, but will only wronged himself, and will help as soon as others call him, such a person will be instrumentalized if he stays in the crowd for a long time, and everyone will not treat him as a person, will not read his good, only treat him as a tool. He may seem harmless to people on the surface, but he deeply hurts another person. ”

"Who?" I asked.

"Himself." Li Damin said: "Hurting yourself is also hurting others, aren't you human?" ”

I was speechless and speechless. "Then," I thought about it for a long time, and then stumbled and said, "a gentleman should do something and not do something." ”

"What then is a gentleman?" Li Damin asked: "This standard is very vague, you first define a gentleman, and then define it as a gentleman." In ancient times, it was said that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and that was also a gentleman. ”

He stopped and turned his head to look at me, "Lin Cong, let's not argue about these things, arguing and arguing will become a battle of tongues, what I disdain the most now is the battle of tongues, there are so many things to do in the world, there is so much knowledge to learn, why waste time and energy, and consume discussing whether or not to do it, isn't that a matter of sitting and discussing?" ”

My original anger was suddenly deflated in Li Damin's vague value orientation, like an angry bull breaking into a huge and tortuous labyrinth, turning around, and all my strength was expended on finding a path......

I sighed, "Damin, no matter what you say, I think you're wrong or wrong. I can't really argue with anything, but I have my own standards of behavior. ”

Li Damin looked at me and frowned slightly, thinking that I wouldn't help him.

I said, "I'll help you this time, but not next time." ”

He smiled, "Okay, just this once." ”

We came to the room where we had just had tea in the front yard, and at some point the tea table was gone, and the whole room was empty, except for an incense burner. Li Damin said: "I am now practicing bone removal and rebirth, and there is still one last link to achieve success." That is to say, after this link, I can really achieve the effect of washing the marrow and changing the body, a bit like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly and a cicada chrysalis shedding its shell, what I have changed is the state of life. Whether it is from the perspective of cultivation or science, rebirth will have to go through a catastrophe and a major test. And once I started, I became very weak and didn't have any ability to protect myself, so I ......"

He paused, his face embarrassed.

"Tell me," I was calm, "that since I promised you, I will not break my word." ”

Li Damin looked at me, slightly moved, and his black eyes flowed with emotion. He can be so happy and angry, and he can have such an expression, which shows that he is really moved.

Li Damin said: "I will light a stick of incense this time, you have to protect me as much as possible during the time when this pillar of incense is burned, so that I will not be harmed in any way." ”

I sighed, lowered my head and bit my lower lip, in fact, I was also fighting between heaven and man, and finally convinced myself that Li Damin was going farther and farther on this road, as a companion, I would try my best to send him on the last journey!

He's a friend of mine, and this help is an account of my old friendship.

I looked up and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Li Damin looked at me, his lips moved, and he muttered, "Lin Cong, it's not your best, it's certain!" I shouldn't make a request of you, it's unrealistic, but if I can't pass this level, I'm not just going to end up in annihilation, I'm afraid I'll be tortured even more. ”

"It's all gone, what more torture is there?" I wondered.

Li Damin waved his hand: "Don't talk about this now, it's unlucky, if I can get through this, let's talk again." ”

"Damin, there's one more thing." I say.

"You say."

"You once pumped a person's big tendon, it was a good friend of my aunt, can you give her back the big tendon when the time comes, otherwise she will be bedridden for the rest of her life." I say.

Li Damin nodded: "If you can get through this hurdle, I can promise you any request." ”
