Throughout the ages, countless human beings have pondered this question: why do we live?

There are two meanings: Why do we exist? What do we exist for?

This is originally a philosophical topic, and it is also something that human beings cannot answer until today, since the mountain god said that he understands human beings, and is used to thinking according to the way of human thinking, then he also has to think about why he exists, and what is the purpose of existence?

The mountain god was interpreting my thoughts, and this question was conveyed to him very completely, and he had to think not only about why human beings existed, but also about himself.

The mountain god is older than Yin Shang, and his existence will naturally not be for Yin Shang, why did God create him, and why did he continue to this day?

Human beings do not have a common dream, but when they see the apocalyptic vision or crisis, they have thought: Will I die? At the same time, I will think, why am I alive?

Some people are very simple, for money, have loved ones.

But with Wang Yangming's Gewu method, money is inexhaustible, and there will be a time when relatives will leave after all, when everything is no longer important, then why do we live?

For enjoyment? But happiness is only temporary, and more loneliness is more, so more and more people are depressed.

For giving? But in history, we don't even count a punctuation mark, after passing through the millennium, who would know that there was this you a thousand years ago, and if you still know, then what about ten thousand years later. After all, time will go on forever, and everything will eventually die, leaving only the endless void.

At this moment, I can't see anything with my eyes closed, my legs are also hanging in the air, I can't touch, I can't feel, I can't hear any sound, only endless loneliness.

I knew that the mountain god had also fallen into this dream of mine, and he was obviously a little flustered, and asked, "Where is this?" How come there is nothing? ”

"You can say that there is nothing, you can say that there is a lot of darkness, there is no time, there is no senses, there is nothing in reality, there is only endless darkness." I also had my eyes open, but I couldn't see anything, not even a glimmer of light.

I don't know how many people come into the cave, the ancients said: the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. All those who enter the cave have their own purpose.

The mountain god reads the human mind, but he also thinks according to the human mind, he understands that human beings come for a purpose, but he never thinks about the question that human beings ultimately think: Why do we live?

That's actually what I've been thinking about right now.

Since the death of my master and the annihilation of Zhao Xiaoxue, I am full of despair about life.

It is said that people live for a lifetime, what is it for, in the end, it is just a lonely grave in the mountains.

Born alone, died alone, nothing can be brought with you, nothing can be taken away.

Everyone feels lonely at times, and throughout the ages, so many great philosophers have not been able to give the final answer, why we live.

After explaining what philosophy is, people will become pessimistic, because many of the questions you are thinking about have no answers at all.

Now I am like this, I think, the mountain god will too.

I used to dream of becoming a great Taoist priest, but when I actually practiced Taoism, I realized that, as Li Qingfeng said, Taoism is just a tool used by people, and everyone is dominated by their own desires.

Especially when I see cultivators conspiring for selfish desires, the so-called Great Dao, and conspiring for the sake of selfish desires, I feel chilled, but at the same time I introspect myself, don't I do the same? It is said that the Tao becomes an immortal, and the purpose of cultivation is to be at ease, but in fact, in order to achieve the goal of cultivation, everyone will do whatever it takes.

Even if I now have infinite supernatural powers and can create another Zhao Xiaoxue, she is not the same Zhao Xiaoxue before after all, because that Zhao Xiaoxue has died in her memory.

So what's the meaning of becoming an immortal?

Sometimes I think: everyone thinks that they are the smartest now, but after a few years, when they look back, they will think how they could have been so stupid at that time.

At that time, I would wonder if my past self was the same person as my current self, or maybe I had been replaced and just had memories of my past. Like the copied young man on Lang Mountain, he has all the thoughts and memories of the ontology. Sometimes, I'm not even sure if I'm myself.

So, what is the meaning of our life?

At this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in front of me, although it was dim, but it could still be seen, the light was getting closer and closer, getting brighter and brighter, but it still could not illuminate the infinite darkness.

As the light got closer, it grew bigger and bigger, and only then did I see that it was like a crystal ball, with mountains and rivers in it, like a model.

The mountain inside, which I was somewhat familiar with, suddenly occurred to me as the mountain of the Gates of Hell.

Suddenly, I saw that countless ants began to gather at the bottom of the mountain, and as the crystal ball-like model got closer and larger, I saw clearly that those who gathered were not ants, but ancient people.

They were dressed in black and held some ceremony at the foot of the mountain.

I understood, at this time the mountain god was thinking, he was calling up his own memories.

Those black people may be people from the Yin Shang period, because the Xuanniao of Yin Shang is black, and those people may be witches, because the neckline of the clothes has a red auspicious cloud pattern.

It was strange that the mountains were not as spring-like as they are now, because I saw that there was still snow on the top of the mountain, and the trees were obviously scorched.

As the ritual progresses, the trees on the mountain gradually change color, as if suddenly spring has arrived, and the snow on the top of the mountain quickly melts.

At first, I thought it was a change of season, but looking around those black-clad witches, there was still snow, which proved that it should still be winter.

It made me feel as if the mountain had suddenly come to life.

I suddenly realized: the mountain god may not be a mountain at all. It may be a certain creature, sealed in the mountain by the people of Yin Shang, and has become a living mountain.

But what kind of creature was he before? Could it be humans?

"I don't know, but I do know that I'm not human." The voice of the mountain god came to my head.

He continued: "I don't know what I am, when I first saw the world, it was a picture here, but at that time I was just observing, I didn't understand what they were doing, and I didn't think like a human being, I resisted like a human being. ”

As the ceremony progressed, at this time, I saw that in the cave of the river at the foot of the mountain, many black-clothed witches came out of the middle, and the leader of them was half-naked, with countless auspicious clouds tattooed on his body, and his hand pointed to something black, like a wat board.

The wat board is the board that the ancient courtiers insisted on when they went to court, which means that the words of the Son of Heaven are recorded.

The witch in front of him is holding a wat board in his hand, is he facing what kind of saint? Or rather, something very sacred.

Suddenly, I realized that the material of this wat board would be the same as the previous meteorite, that is, the meteorite injected with spiritual power by Pujia, the key to open Mobei.

Over time, the brightness in the model slowly decreased, and then darkness returned, and nothing could be seen.

Just as I was about to ask the mountain god, the light suddenly thought that the whole model had reappeared, only this time, in a cave.

I saw many people coming out of the clouds of the cave and building a boardwalk leading to the forest below, and in the courtyard in the middle of the woods stood several men dressed in black, among whom was an old man, who was opening the white door.

Looking at these people, they are all wearing cyan clothes, but they all have yellow turbans tied on their heads, it is likely that these people are the Yellow Turban Army, that is, the subordinates of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road.

Looking at this old man again, it turned out to be the illusion of the mountain god.

With the opening of the white room in the middle, the old man did not stop, but continued to open, suddenly, the water under the white room began to surge rapidly, the old man was a little flustered, took a few steps back, hesitated, and then took out the dagger, pierced his heart, and then threw himself into the water.

He was using himself to sacrifice to the mountain god and open the gates of hell.

The appearance of this old man is the illusion of the mountain god.
