Chapter Twenty-Three: From the South to the North

When a person concentrates on one thing, time flies very quickly, so many people say that happy time passes very quickly. And this period of time is the most comfortable time Mu Feng has had since the death of Grandpa Baicao. First, there are three cute little girls on the mountain, and they have a lot of fun every day.

Qingluan is now like a little tail, and likes to play with Yuan Xiaoya and Tang Li the most. There are delicious food, there are also fun, and the children play hide and seek together, play games, and it is really joyful. Second, Mu Feng has a feeling of following Grandpa Baicao by Ren Lao's side.

Every day, in addition to observing Tang Li's situation in recent days, the old and the young are discussing the alchemy and magic circle in the backyard. Mu Feng is very interested in learning these things, after all, he has read many novels on the Internet in the dream world, and he has also been ashamed to have a sense of substitution.

During this time, he occasionally remembered the world in his dreams, and occasionally his mind wandered. Once, watching the sunset from the pavilion on the laketop of the mountain, he felt great sadness, which had nothing to do with the gains and losses of external objects in the world, and always seemed to feel that something very important had been lost, which seemed to be ethereal but perceptible.

The sunset that day was beautiful, so beautiful that it felt unreal. The golden glow at the beginning gilded everything with a layer of gold dust, and the breeze ruffled the surface of the lake, the ripples like melted gold juice. As time passed, the slanting sun turned rosy red, because the night slowly fell, and the forest in the distance saw only a patch of red, the same color of heaven and earth, and the red was so unreal.

Eventually, the red gradually darkened and turned dark red, and the distant scene was no longer visible, only the blood-colored sunset and dark clouds on the horizon. Mu Feng felt that he was engulfed in darkness, because of the disappearance of his vision, he felt that his senses were also trapped in his body, as if his soul was struggling in his body. He felt very sad, for his own insignificance, and for the inexplicable loss.

"Brother Mu Feng, why are you crying?" I don't know when Qingluan came to his side, at this time the sun had already set, and only the clouds in the west were still scattering this faint light. Mu Feng looked at Qingluan, looking at her immature face in the faint light, her eyes were shining, very clear, with a hint of worry. Mu Feng wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just a little homesick." "Brother Mufeng doesn't cry, I'll accompany you home, and we'll leave tomorrow." Mu Feng smiled and felt very warm: "I'm fine, let's go, let's go back." ”

The lights were already lit up in Feng Ming's residence, and as soon as he walked to the front of the house, Tang Li came out of the door and shouted with a smile: "Brother Master, why have you been watching it for so long today." Mu Feng said: "I was thinking about something, and I forgot to come back unconsciously." Is there anything wrong with Li'er looking for me?"

Tang Li said: "Today I went to play with Grandpa Ren, and when I saw that he was pricking himself with a needle, I asked him, Grandpa Ren, how do you prick yourself? Then Grandpa Ren said that he was in acupuncture, and it wouldn't hurt if he prick it in the right position. I said I didn't believe it, so Grandpa Ren asked me to come to you and say you would tell me why it didn't hurt. After listening to this, Mu Feng felt that Ren Lao was very good at teaching students, no wonder the other two medicine kings in Fallen Leaf City were also taught by him. Mu Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, my brother will tell you why it doesn't hurt to get a needle." ”

After teaching Tang Li some introductory ways of walking needles, Mu Feng came to the backyard to find Ren Tiantian: "Old Ren, do people really have souls? What is a soul?" Ren Tiantian was studying the method of walking needles, and suddenly heard Mu Feng's question. Ren naturally looked up and found that Mu Feng's eyes were confused, as if he had a god and a godless. His question is not so much about others as it is about himself.

Ren naturally did not answer directly: "You and I are both people who practice medicine, we should know that the essence, qi, and spirit of the human body are fundamental, and it is difficult for people to last long without one of them." It seems to me that the soul can be understood as a divine soul in some senses, but it is not limited to the theory of divine souls. Every word and deed on weekdays, and the inner thoughts and thoughts can be called the metaphysical manifestation of the soul. It follows from this that if a person does not have a soul, he only exists in the body, and cannot be called a human being. ”

Mu Feng stood there, frowning, as if he had heard Ren Tian's words, but he didn't seem to hear them. Ren naturally looked at his face, smelled his voice, and found that he was just confused, but he could wake up at any time, and he would not fall into the demon realm, so he would no longer care about him, Ren naturally sighed in his heart: This kid is really a freak.

After Mu Feng felt it from the mountaintop lake, he always felt that something was blocked in his heart, sometimes touchable and sometimes unreachable. When I think of the world in that dream, I feel more and more that my existence is incredible, or that the existence of human beings is incredible. He doesn't know what other people's world is like, and he doesn't know what kind of dreams other people will have. Why do people sometimes feel at ease, but sometimes it is difficult to calm down?

These problems are commonplace, and everyone encounters them, so they are used to it. When the heart is uneasy, people will always do something, or divert their attention to escape, and over time, they will ignore the past for the slightest touch in their hearts that may cause them to be uneasy. But Mu Feng didn't do this, so he felt uneasy to get rid of by the lake on the top of the mountain, and he also had a lot of fear.

Fear comes from the unknown, can this be said to be self-scareting? What Mu Feng was thinking at this time, no one could explain, as if he thought of everything in an instant, life and death, gains and losses...... It seems that he didn't think about anything, a lot of things were mixed together, and the prime minister didn't have a clue. Suddenly he understood: "I know, the deceased." Day and night. Then Mu Feng saluted Ren naturally and hurriedly went out.

Mu Feng came to the top of the mountain alone and sat in the pavilion. What he saw in front of him was still darkness, the sky was full of stars, but the darkness no longer gave him a lot of pressure and fear, he could accept the existence of darkness, and the emptiness in his heart no longer frightened him, he could deal with it calmly. Since human beings are born, they will inevitably face death under natural circumstances, and life and death have always been interdependent.

In the distance between life and death, people are getting closer and closer to death, how can they not be afraid? After all, all good lives will be vanished because of the coming of death. The son said on the river: The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. It is often understood now that the saint is lamenting the fleeting nature of time and making people cherish it.

Everything related to it is slowly disappearing, some are quietly and slowly lost, and some are abruptly stopped, which makes people unprepared. Of course, the principles of heaven are popular, and when this thing dies, there is also another thing that lives. But once born, it is like the deceased running towards death.

Death seems to be incomprehensible, so we have a fear of death because of the fear of losing, a fear of the passing of what is already being. Mu Feng once felt the parting of life and death in the world when Grandpa Baicao died. His grief was so deep, he was afraid of death, of everything that was disappearing, just like death coming, the human soul was bound to the body at the moment of death, until it lost its perception of the body.

At this time, Mu Feng knew the source of fear, and he was no longer afraid. If death is inevitable, then let life continue before death, or be born again after death. If death is like darkness, then the starlight in the darkness is not the hope of life? Mu Feng seriously experienced the state of thoughtlessness in his heart, and gradually forgot everything around him, and his perception at this time was also like being trapped in his body, but Mu Feng was very calm, because he clearly perceived the state of emptiness and thoughtlessness.

After a while, it seemed that something touched him, warm. Mu Feng opened his eyes and understood the sun that had just emerged in the east. There was no sleep all night, but Mu Feng felt refreshed. Mu Feng closed his eyes and carefully experienced the warmth of the sun, the bird song in his ears, and the fragrance of flowers in front of his nose. "Brother Mu Feng, it turns out that you are here, no wonder I can't find you when I wake up. Qingluan walked to Mu Feng's side, Mu Feng heard someone calling him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Qingluan. In the morning light, her eyes were shining, with a hint of concern.

When Mu Feng and Qingluan returned to Fengmingju, they saw Tang Li eating a bun full of green onions in each hand, Qingluan quickly ran over and asked, "Li'er, is there anything else?" Tang Li said: "Of course there is, there is your favorite sauce and meat filling in it." Qingluan ran in without looking back. Tang Li looked at Mu Feng and said, "Brother Master, Uncle Qingshan came from Sunset City just now, and the purpose of coming seems to be related to the master. Then he handed a beloved bun to Mu Feng. Mu Feng touched Tang Li's head with a smile and said, "Thank you Li'er, you can eat quickly, my brother will go and get it himself." ”

When Mu Feng came in, he saw Yuan Qingshan sharing breakfast with everyone, Yuan Qingshan saw Mu Feng coming in, chewed the food in his mouth a few times, then swallowed it, grabbed Mu Feng's shoulder and said, "Brother Mu Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss me to death." Mu Feng looked at Yuan Qingshan and found that there were still water stains on his head, it seemed that he had come overnight, thinking that he had sent a message for himself, Starry Night couldn't help but be a little moved: "Brother Qingshan, sit down and eat, if there is anything to talk about later." ”

After the morning, Mu Feng knew from Yuan Qingshan's message that it turned out that after the city lord returned to the city, he was not only handling official business, but also helping Mu Feng find out the news. A few days ago, news came from the south, Shennong Valley may be in the north, and Mu Feng needs to go north to find it.
