Chapter 291: Talking
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Zi Buyu still pushed open the stone gate of the mountain. There was a dull 'boom' sound from the stone door, and it was pushed open. As soon as Zi Beyu looked into his eyes, he saw a large desk, which was full of books, paper, and pen and ink. Near the desk, there are many bookshelves, which are full of books, and they don't look old at all, and they must be touched by people who often touch the books here.
The bookshelves are arranged in two rows, and in the center of the bookshelf is a large bed with a mosquito net. At the end of the bed there was a wooden door, which was closed. Above the cave, there are seven beads hanging, and these seven beads emit a soft light, which should be the pearl of the night.
I didn't expect this Peng family to be so rich, and the lighting was all made of night pearls.
Zi Beyu looked around, it was neither big nor small, but it made him feel like he was in a different world, as if he had traveled to ancient times. But why is there no one here?
Zi Beyu searched around, but did not find a figure. After looking around, his eyes fell on the big desk, the books piled up on the desk seemed to be some history books, and between the stacks of books, Zi Beyu saw a piece of rice paper, a piece of rice paper coated with ink, this rice paper seemed to be painted with a bead, and a sword. The bead should be Suihou Zhu, but what is this sword?
I don't know why, looking at the appearance of this sword, Zi Beyu is faintly familiar, he seems to have seen this sword, but he can't remember where he saw it. It just feels familiar.
"Crunch."
"You're here."
The wooden door behind the bed opened, and out of it came a man wearing a mask and speaking in a soft, magnetic voice. He didn't seem surprised at all by Zi Beyu's arrival.
"You know me?"
"I know you, and I've been waiting for you to show up." The man smiled, "Mr. Zi Beyu." Should I tell you to be silent, or is it better to tell you to be silent? ”
"Whichever one you think is easy to say, call it whichever one you like." Zi Beyu's face was expressionless, the person in front of him actually knew his past, "Are you the ancestor of Pengzu Village, Peng Zu." ”
"Peng Zu? Hahaha, my name is Peng Keng. Peng Zu put down the things in his hand, and then came to Zi Beyu, Zi Beyu found that the mask Peng Zu was wearing was a woodcut mask, and the pattern engraved on it should be a unicorn.
"Why don't you take your mask off?"
"Does what the inside of the mask have any effect on my identity?"
"Nope."
"So why should I show my face?" Peng Zu smiled, "As long as people live for a certain age, they will care more about their appearance, I am a bad old man, it is better not to show my face." ”
"This ......" Zi Beyu didn't know how to speak.
"I want to ask you something." Peng Zu came to Zi Beyu's side, "Do you believe in immortality?" ”
"I don't believe in immortality."
"Oh? Interesting, let's hear it. ”
"Don't you think it's very unrealistic to have such a thing as immortality?"
As soon as Zi Beyu finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth, isn't this Peng Zu in front of him a person who has lived for 5,000 years.
"Go on." Peng Zu's voice was full of laughter, Zi Beyu shrugged his shoulders and did not continue.
"As you said, many people in modern times find immortality very unrealistic. At most, a person has a lifespan of more than 100 years, and after this time, he will pass away from this world. ”
"But, I want to ask you, do you know why, human beings only live for a hundred years?"
Peng Zu's words caused Zi Beyu to think deeply, he thought seriously for a while, and found that he couldn't answer, so he shook his head. Peng Zu smiled and said:
"There are too many deficiencies in the world, I heard the Buddha say, people have eight sufferings, birth suffering, old suffering, sickness, death, resentment will suffer, love parting suffering, asking for suffering, the five aggregates are full of suffering; I have also heard that the avenue must go through several eons, break and then stand. In a hundred years, there will be no dry seas and rocks, but there will be personnel changes; In a hundred years, I feel the joys and sorrows. Although there are too many setbacks and tribulations in a person's life, there are also good memories and memories. In just 100 years, people can experience so many things. ”
"Life is long and endless, only people understand seven emotions and six desires. You must have heard of the birth of the 'deaf', out of the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods, one hundred and eight of them abandoned their seven emotions and six desires in order to be completely sanctified, and thus achieved the divine position. But they are also very envious of the things in the world, people, can do whatever they want, people, are not subject to many restrictions. ”
"We always hear that we only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. In fact, it is also telling the beauty of the world. Do you think it's better to have such a beautiful thing for a long time, or for a short time? ”
"I'll choose to be long."
"Yes, that's immortality."
Peng Zu smiled and spread out his hand, holding a seed in his palm:
"This is a lotus, this lotus is the sacred flower of Taoism, that is, the green lotus that often appears in your Taoism. This kind of lotus, buried in the soil, must pass through the jiazi, in order to give birth to its own shoots, and then after a jiazi, the flower buds, and after another jiazi, before flowering and canopy. It took a total of 180 years for it to usher in its own flowering, and the precipitation of the previous 179 years was just for a flowering. But people are different, in just a hundred years, they can meet what they like, meet the people they like, meet the people they entrust for their lives, and give birth to a life that will continue for them. In this process, people have experienced things that are three, four or even six times that of Qinglian. ”
"What do you want to say?"
Zi Beyu frowned, he felt as if he had heard these words somewhere, but he couldn't remember, he couldn't remember where he had heard them.
"Immortality is a kind of greed that human beings yearn for a long time."
Hearing this, Zi Beyu could clearly feel that Peng Zu's voice was a lot colder.
"Why?"
"From the Jiuli tribe to the Chiyou, to the Suihou, to the King of Chu, and finally to the Qin Shi Huang, there are countless people here who want to live forever, they hold power, enjoy glory and wealth, and don't want to leave the place that is full of comfort for them so early. As long as a person dies, crosses the Nai He Bridge, and drinks that bowl of Meng Po soup, everything changes, and everything has to start all over again. ”
"They are like this Qinglian, using their young years to fight and fight for their own future, and when they really want to enjoy it, they find that there is not much time left. So at this time, they are eager for their own life and be able to live with heaven. ”
"Man is a very contradictory creature, they say that life is very hard, it is better to die a hundred, but when it comes to death, they desperately want to live. Borrowing corpses to resurrect souls, turning into powerful ghosts, all kinds of things, as long as they want to live, they are willing to do anything. This is what they call immortality. ”
"Do you think so?"
Zi Beyu touched his hand to his waist, he put a dagger here to defend himself, if there was anything wrong with this Peng Zu in front of him, he would not hesitate to stab the dagger into this Peng Zu's hand and help him end his long and endless life.
"Don't be so nervous, your dagger is useless to me." Peng Zu smiled, "I'm a Fang Shi, and I'm different from you Yin people. ”
"So what do you want to do?" Zi Beyu knew what Fang Shi was, put down the hand on his waist, and looked at this person he couldn't see through, "I am a Yin person, this world, I have the obligation to remove those things that should not appear at this time." ”
"Do you think, why are there yin people, why are there yin spirits?" Peng Zu did not continue the topic of immortality.
"Yin souls are people, yin people are also people, and their appearance is the inevitability of their appearance."
"You don't understand." Peng Zu shook his head, "You don't understand anything, so you haven't come out yet, and you're still in your world." ”
"What did you say?"
Zi Beyu looked at Peng Zu, I don't know why, when Peng Zu said that sentence, Zi Beyu's heart suddenly chuckled. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Night Road Dark Lantern Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
