Chapter Ninety-Three: Desire (Collect!) )
Long Yang stretched out his hand without hesitation, and it was the box in his hand that was filled with black stones. Lao She trembled and stretched out her hand, ready to take the box. At this time, he should immediately grab the box, which contains what he needs.
Lao She said that this black stone can turn him back into a young man, rejuvenate himself, and resurrect his wife. That's what he thinks, that's what he says, but he hasn't seen it.
Finally, Lao She grabbed the box, held it in his hand like a baby, and whispered something in his mouth.
"I just threw the box out, you picked it up, why are you okay?" Lao She looked at Long Yang, his words full of questions. Long Yang picked up the black stone and put it into the box, Long Yang had no accident, Lao She was very surprised.
"I didn't let him suck away the vitality and youth at first, it was useless to me, for me, it was just a stone." Long Yang said calmly.
"How did you get attracted to it in the first place?"
"In the beginning, I was full of curiosity about this stone, because you said that it is the center of the formation, so I want to understand it, so as to understand the truth of the formation, and this formation is important to me, it is useful to me. Later you say it's helpful to you, and I don't have a desire to possess it. ”
"Looks like I've made another mistake!"
"It turns out that you just threw it out as a trap, I thought you were stimulated to do this!" It's really sinister, if Long Yang hadn't changed his mind, he would have fallen on Lao She's path again. It is often said that the heart of harming others cannot be prevented, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable, which is really reasonable.
Long Yang grew up in Jin Village since he was a child, and Jin Village is isolated from the world, the village style is simple, the villagers are real, and there will be no deceit and intrigue. Later, Longyang came to Pingxian, and most of the time he got along with the people of Jin Village, although he experienced several cases, but he was still not deeply involved in the world, and he did not know people's hearts and minds. This outing, Longyang can broaden his horizons, and it is also an opportunity to experience his heart.
"This stone is really important to me!" After Lao She finished speaking, he opened the box again, stared at the black stone inside the box, and resolutely held it with his hand. Since he could restore Lao She's youth and resurrect Lao She's wife's life, Long Yang did not interrupt Lao She's movements.
"Ahh Lao She let out a miserable scream.
The black stone emitted a blinding light, enveloping Lao She's body. Long Yang stood nearby, so pierced by the light that he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't see Lao She's condition clearly.
After a while, the light disappeared, and Long Yang hurriedly rubbed his eyes in order to regain his sight.
When Long Yang saw it clearly, he was stunned by the situation in front of him. An old man with a withered body lay on the ground, his torso shriveled and his hair gray, like rotten wood. Long Yang knew that it was Lao She, who had really become Old Man She, or Old Man She who was about to die. At his hand was the rolling black stone, and he longed for the stone to return to his youth.
How could this be, Long Yang immediately stepped forward, helped Lao She up, and leaned his back against the giant tree.
After some pinching and kneading, Lao She finally spit out a breath of turbid air and woke up slowly.
"Did I succeed?" The first thing Lao She said when he opened his eyes was the result of his full expectations, the vitality he had regained, and the youth he thought about day and night.
Long Yang couldn't answer, and looked at Lao She who was leaning against the tree. Lao She asked him if it was just an unconscious act. Next, he will feel, see.
"Ahh Yes! She screamed, waving his arms weakly and pounding the ground. What he expected, what he expected, what he wanted, what he wanted was not like that.
Lao She struggled to stand up, but he was no longer able to stand up, and even had no power to grieve excessively, so he could only wait for the impending death.
"Why? Why! ”
Two whys, different whys, different meanings.
One represents confusion and the other is dissatisfaction.
One is full of disappointment, the other is full of resentment.
No amount of reason can restore the lost vitality and youth, nor can it change the fait accompli.
yes, why, exactly? Why is this what Long Yang thought in his heart.
Just now, Long Yang had also come into contact with the black stone, and there was no danger, and nothing happened. And Lao She, why was he sucked into life again and again after he came into contact and lost his youth.
It's desire, and Long Yang figured out the truth. He had no desire to possess the black stone, and therefore he was not harmed by it. And Lao She had desires from the beginning, until later, his desires became bigger and bigger, so the more harm he caused.
The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the more extravagant you hope for, the more you will lose. Being carried away by desire, or even ignoring the life and death of loved ones, is often counterproductive, and the more you lose.
However, Long Yang also has ideas, he wants to reunite with his parents, wants his father-in-law Jin Shan, and wants the people of Jin Village to live a better life, but whether this is a desire or not, the young Long Yang is not clear.
Long Yang has figured it out, but Lao She hasn't figured it out yet. He could still move, at least his hands could move, and he crawled towards the black stone, crawling forward as hard as he could, his hands clasped on the grass, his eyes fixed on the stone, afraid it would disappear into thin air.
"Enough!" Long Yang shouted at Lao She. He wanted to use his voice to wake up Lao She, regain his sobriety, and return to his original heart.
Long Yang was disappointed, and Lao She was indifferent to his words, as if he hadn't heard them. He gasped, crawled desperately, stared at it, he had lost his mind.
From the moment he saw the stone, he had a desire to possess it, hoping to get it. Thus, when he touched the stone, he lost his precious youth. Later, he finally stole the stone, and he didn't have time or opportunity to appreciate it, so he hid it privately. Later, he and his wife were arrested, and he endured seeing her being brutally tortured and tortured to death. When he himself was tortured, he held back. He hoped that all this pain and pain could be found from the black stone, and he wanted more things, and this was the desire in his heart.
Now, he still has desires, and more and more, he wants to try again, do it again, if he can get it all back.
Lao She's hand was very close to the black stone, and he could get it by advancing a little further, and he tried to reach out and try to grasp the stone, but his strength was exhausted, and even if he couldn't achieve it at all.
Lao She raised his head vigorously and looked at Long Yang, his eyes full of pleading. Long Yang knew that he had asked himself to go over to help him and help him get the black stone. Long Yang wanted to go over to help him, but he was afraid that he would hurt him again, in case the black stone sucked life again, Lao She would die immediately.
"You think about it, if you get the stone again, you will die immediately." Long Yang said.
"Do you think I'll live long?" Lao She gestured with his hand, letting Long Yang look at his appearance and his current condition.
"You, you'll live a while."
"What's the use of that?"
"You can use this time to think about your wife, think about your son, think about your previous life. A little bit of time is also yours, and no one else can take it away, that's what you have at the moment. ”
"What do I have?"
Lao She finally stopped, stopped his useless efforts, and the futility of his efforts.
He was silent, silent.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lao She lay motionless on the ground. If it weren't for the sound of wheezing, even Long Yang would have thought he was dead.
"Little brother, hehe, according to my original age, I can call you little brother, I have a request, I don't know if you can agree to me?" Lao She said intermittently.
"You say."
"Do me a favor, you pull me forward, I want to hold this stone again." Lao She said. He was still thinking about the stones, and he was still thinking about getting the stones that would make his life worse than death.
Long Yang shook his head helplessly, it seems that this person is not dead yet. In that case, let him be perfected!
Long Yang took his hand, and when he reached a position where he could grasp the stone, he immediately let go of his hand. People say that if you are fooled by a loss, you will be fooled by three or more, and you will be a big fool. Lao She had already designed a trap for Long Yang twice, and Long Yang was a little more careful. Before, Lao She always let Long Yang touch the black stone, this time let himself use his hand to touch the stone again, there will be no trap, right?
"Ahem, you're good, you know how to draw inferences, but this time I did it intentionally or unintentionally, so that you can remember it longer." Lao She's words confirmed Long Yang's suspicions, but according to him, he didn't mean to harm Long Yang, just to remind Long Yang. It is said that people are about to die, and their words are good, but who knows that poisonous snakes will bite people when they die. Lao She did teach Long Yang a lesson, asking Long Yang to think more and be more vigilant.
Lao She's hand finally grasped the black stone, and there was no previous situation, the black stone did not appear to shine, and Lao She did not appear abnormal. "I didn't lie to you, if I hurt your heart, or if I still have some of your so-called desires, I'd be dead right now."
Yes, in this way, Lao She really has no intention of harming others, but he also has no desire.
"My name is She Zhang, this is my name, I want you to bury me and my wife together, okay?" She said her name and her request. Only then did Long Yang know his name, and he used to call him She Laotou or Lao She. She Zhang was close to death, and the expression on his face disappeared, and he should have been unable to see his expression, but he tried to show his pleading expression.
"Okay."
"Thank you. I will have the opportunity to repay you again in my next life, and settle my account. ”
After She Zhang finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
What he owes is no longer repaid in this life, he owes his wife, his children, She Zhen, not Longyang.
Long Yang didn't care about She Zhang's actions, took him to his wife's grave, and buried the two together. On the mountainside, by the stone cave, there is a lonely grave, two husbands and wives.
O man! There are ups and downs in life, depending on how you deal with them; There will be suffering in your life, depending on how you face it; There are disappointments in your life, depending on how you deal with them; There are desires in your life, and it's up to you to achieve them.
Long Yang touched the box in his arms, the box contained a stone of desire, but it had nothing to do with him, it was just a stone, the size of an egg, a black stone the size of an egg.
