Chapter 6: Reincarnation and Detachment
In the endless void, there was a pillar of light that emitted a glowing white light, and this pillar of light stood there, as if it had existed since ancient times. There seemed to be something stirring and frolicking in the pillar of light, and the disturbed white rays were sometimes strong and sometimes weak, fluctuating up and down, undulating constantly. There is nothing here but a pillar of light.
No one knows where this pillar of light came from or why it exists. The pillar of light shimmered white, bringing people infinite questions and reverie. Suddenly, a golden light suddenly appeared from the void, and the light gradually weakened to reveal a person, it turned out that there was nothing, he dispersed the golden light, collected the light, and looked at the pillar of light in front of him. At this time, the placket of the clothes moved slightly, as if it was slightly blown by the wind, and where the wind stopped, Mu Feng's figure slowly appeared. He said in a vague and unenlightened manner: This pillar of light has not changed much from the last time I saw it, but the mysterious feeling is still there. ”
Wu He looked at the pillar of light, as if he was very puzzled, he stepped forward and reached out to touch the pillar of light, there was no change, as if the pillar of light and Wu He were in different spaces, and the two did not disturb each other. Mu Feng stepped forward and set his eyes on the pillar of light, he didn't reach out to touch it, when Mu Feng approached the pillar of light, something incredible happened!
The pillar of light actually changed, and I saw words slowly emerging in the pillar of light one by one:
Seeming, but not seeing,
As it comes, as it will be.
In a snap of a finger,
Thousands of years in an instant.
Whether there is a coexistence,
Between the virtual and the real.
It's only a dream in the end,
Morning dew and lightning.
Looking at these incomprehensible verses, Mu Feng didn't know what to do, he stared at it silently, as if he had thought of something and captured something, but he couldn't grasp anything. Suddenly, Mu Feng was shocked in his heart, his eyes widened, and his mouth read: "Impossible, impossible..."
Wu He has been looking at the pillar of light, but the pillar of light has not changed, suddenly, Mu Feng's frightened voice came from his ears, he looked at Mu Feng, only to see Mu Feng staring at the pillar of light, he looked at the pillar of light again, but he couldn't see any change in the pillar of light. Mu Feng looked at the pillar of light, no longer spoke, just looked at the pillar of light, gradually his expression became calmer, and slowly calmed down.
He was afraid to disturb Mu Feng, and after Mu Feng calmed down, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" Mu Feng looked at Wu He and said: "This is the light of reincarnation, or detachment, or reincarnation, and it has its own destiny." Your first contact with you has relieved you of many confusions, and you have stepped into clarity from confusion, which is detachment, but I am more and more puzzled after seeing it. It looks like I'm about to enter reincarnation. ”
After Mu Feng finished speaking, he stared at the pillar of light again. He asked, "If you have anything to understand, maybe we can discuss it." Mu Feng smiled slightly, as if he had accepted his fate, and slowly walked towards the pillar of light, and at the same time read:
A thousand years of confusion and enlightenment,
Reality and fiction are only in the bow.
Mo Dao Tianli has selfishness,
Flowers are flowers, and mist is fog.
After reading, Mu Feng also walked into the pillar of light. Then, Mu Feng turned around and looked at nothing, as if waiting for something. And he looked at Mu Feng, looking at his eyes that seemed to see through everything, he was very puzzled, just like looking at a pillar of light. As soon as Wu He Wu wanted to speak, he saw that Mu Feng gradually dissipated, and the pillar of light gradually disintegrated, and after a while, it disappeared in Wu He You's shocked look.
He came back to his senses, there was nothing left in front of him, only the eternal silence of the void, he didn't know what happened, he silently read the last verses left by Mu Feng, very confused, and then just fell into a contemplative chatter: bow down, bow down······
But in the end, Wu He still didn't understand, and after a long time, Wu He laughed, and said to himself: "Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!" and then laughed and drove the golden light out of this void space.
There is a land under the clouds, all things on this earth have multiplied for generations, and all things exist in their own way of life, just like a desert, and the sand grains are like the cells of the human body, and all the sand grains make up the desert.
Stones, slopes, mountains, mountain systems, all things are made up of small units, and then form large collectives, and all the existence of nature shows the great wisdom of nature, and once human beings understand the small wisdom, it is a miracle.
After seeing the miracle, human beings inherited the spirituality given to them by nature, so that human beings also possessed wisdom. Then, human beings continue to live and reproduce, slowly precipitating their own wisdom, although it is still very small compared to nature, but once human beings begin to think, there are infinite possibilities. Although human life is very short, wisdom is also a characteristic that cannot be passed down from generation to generation like the real thing.
However, with words, there is inheritance. Humans are becoming more and more powerful, they want to conquer everything they can touch, and in this way, human beings say goodbye to Ru Mao drinking blood, farewell to cave dwelling, farewell to stone tools, everything is moving in the direction of convenience, practicality, etc. This is how humanity develops······
There is such a very ordinary valley in this land, there are dozens of families living in the valley, the valley is shaped like a gourd, the middle abdomen is relatively round and large, the valley is scattered with the undulations of the terrain, the surrounding is close to the dwellings is the vegetable garden and the woods with a lot of medicinal herbs, a bluestone paved main road leads to the valley mouth, the other end of the main road disappears into the woods on the mountain along the terrain, there is a large square in the middle of the valley.
There is a big unknown tree in the middle of the square, about two adults are so thick, the people in the village call this tree a big tree, there are stone tables and stone benches placed by the villagers under the big tree, every afternoon there is always an old man holding a teapot and shouting the old man to chat and drink tea under the big tree, at this time, the children also gather around the old man after letting the cattle and sheep go for a day, listen to them tell the story outside the valley.
There is a river in the direction of the valley mouth diagonally, the people who live here call this river the clear water river, the flow of this river is not large, but it can meet the living water of the people in the valley, as well as irrigation, the river water originates from the green mountains in the distance, it is very clear all year round, even if it is the rainy season, the river water is not turbid, but the flow speed becomes faster, with a little gravel, and the uproar stirs up blisters at the place of rise and fall.
On both sides of the river are fertile fields cultivated by the villagers, because the mountains and rivers are green, the vegetation is abundant, and the villagers take care of them, this valley is like a paradise, and the valley is very far away from the city that governs it. Except for the steward of the Castle Lord's Mansion who collects a certain amount of taxes every year, few outsiders come to this place, so even if it is isolated from the world, it is understandable.
The villagers in the valley are very simple, if there is something in a certain family, the whole village goes to help, there is no comparison between each other, contempt, jealousy and other unfair mentality, occasionally there are children fighting, but after a few days it is as good as brothers and sisters, although the villagers have different surnames, but they are like a family.
There is a Baicao Lu in the valley, there is an old man living in it, is a doctor, the children in the village call him Grandpa Baicao, the old man was sick when he was young, and he was determined to study medicine when he grew up, and traveled around, and then came to this valley, Grandpa Baicao saw that there was wind and water here, and there was nothing in the village but there was a lack of a doctor, plus a child by his side.
So settled down in the valley, the child was found when Grandpa Baicao came back from a mountain to collect medicine, he rested under a tree on the side of the road, I don't know who left him here, the child is eight or nine months old, the skin is soft, white and red, a pair of big eyes are even more lovely, lying in a basket, wrapped in a small quilt, not crying or making trouble, the little hand kneaded the edge of the quilt, Grandpa Baicao looked at the child, the child also looked at Grandpa Baicao from time to time, humming and chirping from time to time, as if communicating with people.
Grandpa Baicao felt that the child was very cute, so he took care of him next to him, hoping to wait until the child's parents came to him, it was getting dark, and no one came to look for him, so he took the child back to his borrowed person's house, and the next day, Grandpa Baicao inquired around and asked. I hope to find the child's parents, but there is no news. So Grandpa Baicao could only take the child and then come to the valley to settle down.
After Grandpa Baicao took him to the valley, the child gradually grew up, but it was a little different from the other children, that is, he never talked to the child, nor did he play with other children, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, he did not have any other activities. If it's sunny, I sit under a tree in the yard, and when it rains, I sit inside the house, and I'm always stupid.
When someone spoke to him, he looked at him in a daze, and when he had finished speaking, he went back to his original state. Grandpa Baicao didn't care about him, he volunteered, and just called him when he was eating and sleeping. The others in the valley asked Grandpa Baicao if the child was sick, and Grandpa Baicao only said that the child was full of energy and not sick. So the people of the valley called the boy an idiot, and so eleven or two years passed.
One day, everything was as usual in the valley, the children drove the cattle and sheep out of the grain to graze, and the adults went down to the fields and went up the mountains. The only change is the kid idiot, his eyes are no longer blank, and he can speak. That day, he was still sitting under the tree, his eyes were indifferent, and suddenly his delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes suddenly became brighter, and his usually indifferent eyes had a hint of confusion. Then he spoke, and the first thing he said was, "Who am I?"
