Chapter Seventy-Six: On the Word
"I really don't understand, why are you doing this?" I say.
In my opinion, Li Yang's family is rich, and he can write and publish books, which is also a bit famous. Life is free, why bother looking for this uncomfortable.
Li Yang didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.
We soon arrived at Granny White. When Ren Ling heard that we had arrived, she greeted us very warmly. Tell us that Granny Bai is now watching things for others, and it is inconvenient. However, she already knew that we were coming, and asked Ren Ling to take us to another room to rest first.
We entered the room, which was not large, with thick curtains drawn, and the light was poor, no lights were turned on, just a few red lanterns hanging from the ceiling. We soon understood why we had to arrange it this way, and in the middle of the room, there was a bed, on which a man lay quietly, covered with a white sheet.
In front of this person's head was placed a small offering table, on which was burned an ever-bright lamp shaped like an ancient ding, and it was faintly burning with fire.
Ren Ling walked over and carefully picked it with a copper drill, and the flame of the ever-bright lamp, which was originally faintly extinguished, was lit up again.
"This lamp cannot be extinguished. When the lights go out, you die. Granny Bai asked us to take turns on duty to take care of the lamp until someone who should come. Now, you're finally here. Ren Ling said with a smile.
Li Yang walked over slowly, looked at the person on the bed, and his voice trembled a little: "Xie Lu Xie." β
It was Li Yang himself who was parked on this bed. He looked like he was asleep, his eyes closed and peaceful. Li Yang gently stretched out his hand, stroked the hair of the deity, looked melancholy, suddenly smiled, turned his head to us and said, "Isn't this experience very strange now?" Have you ever seen myself like this, ever touched myself? β
"I've done all of this, when I look in the mirror and." Copperlock laughed lewdly.
Li Yang smiled and said: "Human life is really strange, there is still a body and soul, if I don't experience it myself, it's really hard for me to believe it." Lao Liu, you once said that I am getting more and more sissy. β
I didn't laugh. The ever-bright lamp was faint and burning, shining on Wang Xiaoyu's face, flickering and dimming, and there was an indescribable demonic aura.
Li Yang saw that I didn't speak, and said directly: "Lao Liu, Tongsuo, you have not had the experience of possession and seizure, so it is difficult to understand my state. I now have a deeper experience, the soul is like water, water is impermanent, I am a man when I enter the body of a man, and I am a woman when I enter the body of a daughter. It seems to be a blessing that water is contained in a container, but it is actually a sad thing. Bound by the form, trapped in the seven senses of the flesh, one can never attain detachment and freedom. β
"Little friends are transparent." Ren Ling said beside him: "With a physical body, there is naturally desire. With desire, the heart does not stand still. When the heart moves, all thoughts are born, and you can't let go. β
Li Yang smiled and pointed at me and the copper lock: "I'm not teaching you to commit suicide, don't mislead." I now understand more about the so-called cultivation, and to cultivate to the highest level is actually to realize the realm of no physical body with the physical body, the realm of death with life, the realm of extinction with existence, and the realm of emptiness with the color body. The Buddha was right when he said that color is emptiness. β
Li Yang's words, although biased, really impressed me.
He sees life so thoroughly in the world and in the world, why should he cling to the ethereal power of the king of man?
At this time, I only heard the sound of copper bells ringing outside. Ren Ling said: "Granny Bai's side will be over." She said to me and the copper lock, "Please ask the two little friends to help carry the body to the white mother-in-law's house." β
The copper lock and I came to Li Yang's body, raised our heads one by one, and moved up. Don't say that this thing is really heavy, it's all said to be dead and heavy, and it's not false at all.
We carried the body in front, Li Yang carried the ever-bright lamp behind, and under the guidance of Ren Ling, we entered Granny Bai's room.
Granny Bai was still hiding behind the curtain, so let's go out and wait first, leaving only Li Yang.
Copper lock and I were stunned, walked to the first floor, sat down in the hall, and someone brought tea. We smoked cigarettes, drank tea, and chatted.
I said worriedly: "Li Yang insists on going down to the cave, what if he really dies inside?" β
The copper lock said: "Everyone has his own ambition. Some people love to eat shit, and if you persuade him, he will still think you are troublesome. Li Yang is an adult, and his knowledge is above you and me, so he has his own ideas about what to do. Although we can't understand it, we can respect his choice. β
He took a sip of tea and continued: "I feel more and more now that death is really not so terrible. It is nothing more than the end of life, and perhaps the beginning of another life form. It's like your childhood. You will inevitably grow up one day, you will become an adult, and when you look back at the psychology that you were afraid of growing up when you were a child, you will feel ridiculous and very naΓ―ve. β
"Oops." I looked the brass lock up and down: "You kid is now a philosopher, too." Okay, we haven't had an influential thinker in this world for many years, and you have this potential for development. β
"Don't even say it." Copper lock came to talk about sex: "I don't know about you, I feel that the world has developed to a bottleneck anyway." There is an urgent need for a world-class thinker to serve as a beacon to illuminate the way for the future of mankind. β
Somehow, I suddenly thought of Ma Bao, and I was a little depressed.
I said what will Ma Bao do in the future. Copper Lock said: "I have thought about this matter. Do you realize that in fact, Mabao is the epitome of our human life. β
Hearing this, I was shocked: "You, what do you mean?" β
The copper lock snuffed out the cigarette butt, took a sip of tea, and said: "The life we live in is actually reincarnation for several lifetimes. Childhood, youth, middle age, and old age are roughly divided into four stages. Lao Liu, you are almost thirty now, so I will define you as middle-aged. When you look back on your childhood, what happened when you were five or six years old, do you feel like a world away? It's not so real when you think about it, it's like a thick layer of time dust. β
When he described it like this, I laughed: "It's a little bit." Looking back on my childhood now, it feels like something that happened in my previous life. β
Copper Lock continued: "Let's imagine that you are now eighty years old, and if you want to recall the time when you were eight years old, is it more like a few lifetimes ago. β
I nodded, I have to admit it.
"Actually, each of us is a reincarnated person!" The copper lock is really not shocking, and it is endless.
I listened amusefully and looked at him with a smile.
"We are reincarnated in our own lives. It's just that the reincarnation of our people blurs the concept of life and death, and you can't be sure when you died in your childhood, and you can't explain how you entered middle age. Unconsciously, looking back on the past, I found that I had become a hundred years old. β
I felt an inexplicable melancholy in my heart, looked straight at the winter scene outside the door, and muttered, "It's really not easy to be a man." β
"After so many things, I've been a little enlightened." The copper lock said: "I don't have much luxury in this life, just like Zhuangzi and his old man." Coarse tea and light rice are not abandoned, we do not force wealth and fame and fortune, leisure to travel in the mountains and rivers, nothing to do to see the cooking. , bragging, just be happy, love whoever you want. β
I laughed: "Yes, or the core of his old man is the getaway and health master." β
We were chatting, and suddenly we came down from the second floor. Let's go and see it together, it's Li Yang. He had changed back into his body, looking a little awkward, unable to walk, carefully holding on to the staircase handle.
The copper lock went over and helped him to sit over, grinning and said, "How is it, you are still adapting to this sudden man and woman?" β
Li Yang picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "Besides, I have a psychological disorder now, and I can't find a partner in the future." β
"How?" I asked.
"If you've ever been a pig, you don't want to eat pork again," he said. β
Copperlock and I laughed and fell.
"How's Xiaoyu?" I asked.
"Go see her, she's fine."
I stood up and took a few steps up the stairs. Ren Ling was helping a girl and walking slowly, not Wang Xiaoyu or anyone. I called softly, "Xiaoyu? β
Wang Xiaoyu looked up at me, his mouth moved, and a smile barely appeared on his face: "Liu Yang, hello." β
Ren Ling is very discerning: "You talk." She walked up to me and whispered, "Xiaoyu has just returned to her soul and is relatively weak, you can take care of it more." β
Naturally, I walked over and held Wang Xiaoyu.
Wang Xiaoyu didn't break free, and she didn't show anything else, she seemed very calm and natural, she nodded: "Xie Lu Xie." β
I didn't know what to say, so I helped her to the side and sat down. After a long time, he said, "Are you okay?" β
"It's good." She looked at me and smiled, "I had a dream. β
A smile appeared on her face: "I dreamed that I was in an empty playground, and it was so much fun that I couldn't even think about it. Later, I got tired and wanted to get out of the labyrinth, but I turned around like I was in a labyrinth. Guess who I'm thinking of at this point? β
"Who?" I asked.
"You. Liu Yang. I was thinking, how nice it would be if you were here to play with me. β
I held her hand, and I really had mixed feelings in my heart, and I couldn't say anything.
"It's all over, let's go home in a while." I have some red circles under my eyes.
Wang Xiaoyu raised her hand and touched my face, and she looked into my eyes up close. Suddenly smiled: "Silly boy, are you crying?" Tell you, I'm leaving. β
I couldn't hear it: "Where are you going to go?" β
"I want to go home and spend time with my mom and dad. I thought a lot about it in that playground, I thought about my dad and mom, I thought about them, I thought about them so much. I was thinking, amusement parks are fun, but we can't play here for the rest of our lives, right? β
I touched her hair and burst into tears.
Just as we were leaving, I wanted to pay a visit to Granny Bai and express my gratitude. But Ren Ling stopped her and said that Granny Bai didn't plan to see us. She pulled me aside again. Then stuff a folded piece of paper.
"What is this?" I wondered.
Ren Ling said that this was what Granny Bai asked her to hand over to me. Granny Bai explained, this is about your future, and she is cautious.
I slowly opened the piece of paper, and there was nothing on it, except for a strange pattern drawn in the center.
