Chapter 596: The Other Side in the Long River of Time
For the strong, you need to be in awe of time, even if you consider yourself immortal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the vast world, the definition of immortality is simple, that is, eternal and endless life.
But in fact, many beings who have gone through a lot of hardships to meet this standard often choose to dust themselves up and no longer join the WTO, because they are tired of time.
Time is unforgiving, and it can make what you used to think interesting slowly become less interesting.
Some people say that life is enjoyment, but all enjoyment becomes the same, making you feel numb, will you still feel enjoyment, is it really a kind of enjoyment?
No, it was a painful ordeal, so many strong men did not fall under the enemy's sword, but fell under the infection of time.
"The seventh level, the test of the heart, the long river of time..."
The surroundings were so gray that I couldn't see where I was or what this place was.
Wu Ming only knew that he had three years to cross the long river of time to reach the other side, otherwise he would fail to break through.
Of course, the speed of time here is different, three years is outside time, and in this case it is three million years.
Is three million years old, not long, Wu Ming's ontology is in retreat for hundreds of millions of years in the sea of time.
But it's different here, the three million years here are not for retreat, but for you to get out of the long river of time.
In the state of retreat, one enlightenment is thousands of years, and you can't feel the passage of time.
It's different here, the passage of time is in your heart, you can perceive every minute, every second of time changes, enjoy three million years of loneliness and torture, or say I give up.
"The loneliness of time!"
Wu Ming hit the road, walked in the gray world, and began the test of the seventh level.
In the first year, he walked very fast, singing all the way to relieve his boredom, and still had the heart to appreciate his surroundings in his spare time.
In the tenth year, he walked slowly, and he thought about everything he could think about, but he still felt bored.
For the first hundred years, the boredom continued, and slowly the road to the river was long, and there was no hope at all.
In the first thousand years, Wu Ming felt that he was going crazy, and for the first time he felt that he was so lonely, so empty, as if the world was only himself, very lonely.
... 10,000 years...
"Is it worth it, I don't plan to apprentice to the Marquis of Lanshan, just for a secret treasure, is it worth enjoying this loneliness?" In the long river of time, Wu Ming's eyes were blank, and his mouth was muttering chaotically.
This question is difficult, Wu Ming asked himself for a thousand years, and I gave up three words, always lingering on my lips.
But it was difficult for him to speak, because the top 100 of the Linglong Pagoda were all passers-through above the seventh level, and Wu Ming didn't think that he couldn't do what others could do.
It's easy for me to give up three words, but it's too hard to let go of pride.
Wu Ming always felt that he was not a proud person, but when it came to the end, he found that he was wrong, very wrong.
... 100,000 years...
"I am the reincarnation of a strong man, what a stellar martial artist can do, how can I not do it, I want to move forward, I can't stop, I don't admit defeat..."
100,000 years of loneliness, 100,000 years of ups and downs.
Wu Ming is like a madman, shaking three times in one step, walking in the long river of time, and the only thing he insists on is faith.
Over time, he learned to relieve his boredom, to compile a chess game from his brain, and to play with himself.
Or, by recalling his past, he had plenty of time to think and judge from God's point of view, which is a good way to pass the time.
... A million years...
From the joy at the beginning, to the madness in the middle, and then to the calm later, Wu Ming spent a whole million years.
The long memories made him mentally numb, like a walking corpse, just walking forward mechanically.
At this time, the original loneliness is no longer loneliness, but a kind of companionship.
Wandering in loneliness, ups and downs in loneliness, perhaps...... It's a treat.
Wu Ming learned to enjoy solitude, to enjoy the emptiness in his heart, and to enjoy everything he could feel.
He felt that he was so powerful at the moment, and there was nothing in this world that moved him anymore.
... Two million years...
Food has an expiration date, love has an expiration date, and enjoy loneliness, isn't it the same?
Two million years ago, loneliness was his intimate companion, but now it is more like a torture, just like after a good marriage has deteriorated, the family is not warm and dreading.
From the awe at the beginning, to enjoyment, to the final fear, it is a change in mentality.
Wu Ming began to ask himself again, was such a test really worth it, did he really need this secret treasure.
Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with admitting defeat, who has never lost in this life, and he can lie down wherever he falls, which is actually quite good.
... Two and a half million years...
"Take another 10,000 steps and admit defeat..."
After 10,000 steps, Wu Ming was like a goldfish with only 30 seconds of memory, and he made up his mind again: "Take another 10,000 steps and admit defeat." ”
Yes, this is a kind of deception, and Wu Ming learned how to deceive himself.
It's easy to deceive others, it's easy to deceive yourself, 10,000 steps is a cycle, he will force himself to forget the past and take 10,000 steps again.
Over time, 10,000 steps is more like a slogan, an encouragement, which makes him go on again and again.
At this time, Wu Ming had forgotten time and everything in the past.
He's just a walking robot, and the only thing that exists in the program is to take another 10,000 steps.
"This is..."I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how long it has passed, Wu Ming suddenly found that he saw the other side of his dreams.
Not far away, he called out loudly, rushed forward with all his might, but found nothing.
One blow, then decline, three exhaustion, this is the art of war.
Wu Ming ran forward frantically, but when he found that no matter how he ran, the other side in front of him could never be reached, his tense heart finally collapsed.
Kneeling in the long river of time, Wu Ming cried loudly, he was not afraid of despair, what he was afraid of was just a bubble wrapped in hope.
When you're full of anticipation, thinking you've caught hope, only to open it up and find that there's still despair inside, it's a really hard feeling.
"Give up, give up, you can't carry any more."
"Don't give up, don't give up, the other side is in front of you, if you give up, what is the previous persistence?"
Two voices appeared in his mind, constantly arguing, one saying to give up, the other saying to insist, and the quarrel made Wu Ming have a headache.
Wu Ming hugged his head, he didn't know who he should listen to, he just held his head numbly, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm persistent, you should listen to me, people say that perseverance is the most important character." A voice replied.
"I'm giving up, you should listen to me, people say that giving up properly is the choice of smart people." This is the answer of another voice.
"Listen to me... Listen to my... Listen to my... Listen to me..."
Persistence and abandonment are opposed, and both sides insist on their own words, and no one will let anyone.
Wu Ming didn't know who to listen to, so he could only move on and replied, "When you decide whether you win or lose, I'll listen to what the one who wins says, and you go to debate." ”
Hearing such words, persistence and giving up, said in unison: "You won, we listen to you." ”
"I won, listen to me?" Wu Ming subconsciously asked, "Who am I?" ”
"Haha, you're so stupid, of course you're in your heart, only your heart can win us."
Persistence and abandonment laugh, they are two qualities in the heart, only the heart can accommodate, and only the heart can surrender.
The Buddhist scriptures have clouds, the clouds should live, and the clouds should surrender their hearts.
The Buddha said: It should be like this, and its heart should be surrendered as such.
