"Who am I? Xiang Sheng? There is only an old ox in my memory, and it doesn't know where it came from or why it was born.

"The withered yellow fields, the endless gossip, the people who are afraid and avoid themselves.

"And those kids, they all have their own biological parents, they don't need to think about where they come from, they..."

Xiang Sheng's eyebrows became more and more black, his eyes became cold, as if he had changed a person, and a hoarse bass came from his mind,

"Kill them, little bug, I'll give you strength"

"No~ No, I don't kill people, I just want to eat, play, and raise that old cow. Xiang Sheng tried to keep calm, but a group of people had already rushed up, they rudely grabbed his arm, and walked towards the temple, Xiang Sheng punched and kicked desperately, but because he was too young, it was to no avail.

The night was so long that when we reached the temple, the moon appeared overhead.

The village chief bowed down to the three statues in the temple, and in an instant, hundreds of people kowtowed.

"Forgive the younger generation for being disrespectful, only sacrifice the virgin boy tonight, and let the immortals appear to bring hope to this poor people and bring vitality to this withered village. The village chief bowed again and again, "Ziguan Immortal Venerable, Lotte Immortal Venerable, Huayang Immortal Venerable! The junior pleaded with the three Immortal Venerables to manifest their spirits." ”

Seeing that Xianzun was unmoved, the village chief continued, "This son fell from the sky, and he was born strange, so he will definitely help the Immortal Family. After saying that, the village chief waved his hand, and several executioners walked up.

The framed Xiang Sheng was already shrouded in black fog, and in the brightly lit temple, people clearly saw the changes in Xiang Sheng, and then became afraid.

"Look, the village chief, it's not good!"

"Monster!"

The villagers were talking in a panic.

The village chief immediately said solemnly, "Folks, don't be afraid, this is the manifestation of Xianzun, Xianzun wants to enjoy this rare medicine cake, so cast a spell on this little miscellaneous body, everyone is stunned, hurry up and help Xianzun and chop him up." ”

"Kill them! Look at what they do to you, you're going to die! And they are still alive in this world, and they won't remember you after you die, you are just their lies, kill them, let them wake up! Let them be free!" Xiang Sheng's mind was filled with the evil and hoarse instigation, his eyes were hazy and empty, and in the black mist, a big knife faintly wanted to slash at his head.

"Is it over?Xiang Sheng, you're so ridiculous!" Xiang Sheng muttered to himself, he seemed to be indifferent to everything that was about to happen, he didn't care about life and death, if he didn't know what he was, then he was just a living skin, what was the difference between this and death!

Xiang Sheng closed his eyes, maybe it was the last look at the world: there was only a group of indifferent people here, the village chief who watched with relish, the villagers who didn't care about themselves, and Gao Laosan, who turned his head and hid in the corner, there was nothing worth nostalgia in this world, so be it, "Farewell!"

"I remember that there was a man who once said to me that when my eyes were closed,

Will there be another pair of their own eyes open, will that be true?"

"It's true!"

"Who are you?"

Xiang Sheng woke up suddenly, he was surprised to find himself in a quiet bamboo forest, an old man sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, his hair and beard hanging white, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like an old acquaintance!

The old man laughed with his white beard, "Do you remember me?"

"Are you?" said Xiang Sheng, shaking his head.

"How forgetful the nobles are, so you can call me an idle Taoist. ”

"Idle Taoist, why haven't I heard such an indecent name? ”

The old man laughed after hearing this, and said, "It's not serious, I think it sounds quite tasteful, probably the little brother hasn't reached my age yet." ”

"Oh. Xiang Sheng looked at the old man who couldn't close his mouth smiling, but he couldn't laugh, he asked, "Qingxian Daoist, where am I, am I not dead?"

"You're dead, so you're here, haha, this is a good place for a water show, you must like it, little brother" The old man looked hospitable.

"It's not the dead people who come here, but it's just the two of us here. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, what do you think? ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Well, it doesn't matter, what do you think? ”

“...”

Time passed little by little, but it seemed to stand still, the whole atmosphere was very awkward, and the old man closed his eyes and recuperated.

Xiang Sheng couldn't help but say, "What is the meaning of our life in this world?"

The old man didn't open his eyes, he didn't joke at this time, and said seriously, "Everyone has their own meaning in life, and you need to rely on yourself to find it." ”

"What is heaven, what is earth, and what is man?"

"Heaven and earth are big, all living beings are like ants, and the white horse passes through the gap, which is both real and illusory. Heaven and earth are only a moment, life is only a hundred years, the infatuated person is hurt by it, and the heartless person is what it goes," the old man said with a white beard.

Xiang Sheng was puzzled, "Since heaven and earth are only for a moment, and life and death are just a thought, then why is it infatuated and ruthless?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The sunrise and sunset, the heartless person looks at the sun, the sunrise in the east or the sunset in the west; but the infatuated person looks at the day and night, enjoying the light or waiting endlessly; the two are different but the same, when you have, you know that you lose, when you fall into the devil, you can become an immortal." ”

Xiang Sheng said, "I seem to understand, I want to go out and get out of here." ”

The old man asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Xiang Sheng nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I'm going to find the answer, thank you, I know that everything here is an illusion, I don't want to hide in the unreal world, I can't be so cowardly! I won't give up the meaning of my existence!"

"Then you go and cut down this whole bamboo forest, and when you're done, you go out. With that, the old man took out an axe from the wood basket on the ground.

Xiang Sheng took it without hesitation, he roared angrily and rushed towards those tall bamboos, bursting out of his heart with long-squeezed depression and anger...

Maybe it's fate!

The cold night tore open the curtain, and as the bamboos fell one by one, the old man disappeared, and what caught his eye was corpses all over the field!

The bamboo that was cut down was hundreds of villagers, as well as the village chief with a broken head.

"No! no!

Xiang Sheng raised his head to the sky and roared, his left hand holding a black sword, drenched in blood! Like a curse, it seeped into his skin, his bone marrow, and his cold eyes.

"Haha, they're all dead. Xiang Sheng laughed dryly, his throat was hot, a mouthful of blood spit out, his face was pale, and he stuck the black sword into the mud, barely supporting his body.

"It's all liars, haha, deceive me, what bullshit philosophy! It's all a man-eating lie!" Xiang Sheng's mind gradually lost, he suddenly found that he was manipulated, pulled, and even toyed with by some kind of fate, he was extremely angry, he took the black sword and slashed almost frantically, wanting to cut it, but helpless.

"I want to be strong, above all beings, no, above heaven and earth. ”
