Chapter 61: The Clouds Rise
Buddhism has seven sufferings.
Birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment will be, love parting, and can't ask for it.
And life is a sea of suffering.
All of them are in a sea of misery.
Some are struggling, some are wandering, some are willing to fall, and there are also those seeking transcendence.
What is the meaning of the world's spiritual practice?
To put it narrowly, it is for glory, wealth, and longevity.
To put it more grandly, it is to transcend oneself and attain immortality.
For example, Xia Fan.
The purpose of his initial practice was purely self-preservation.
The world is too dangerous.
If he doesn't want people to be seen as a sloppy mustard to kill and take away at will, then he has to be stronger than others, so strong that no one dares to provoke him.
However, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.
Coupled with the relationship of being limited by a lack of understanding of the world.
Every time Xia Fan thinks he is very strong, he will usher in a blow.
He had always felt out of place in the world, and before he knew it, he had already integrated into it.
After all, the essence of man is the sum total of all social relations.
Life will go through such a stage.
Look at the mountains are mountains, and look at the water is water.
Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water.
In the end, I went back to looking at the mountains as mountains and the water as water.
And even keep on and on.
Until you have a clear mind.
Although Xia Fan has now cracked the demon in his heart, it does not mean that he has become a real enlightened person.
If he had already attained enlightenment, I am afraid that he would not bother Zhou Xiaoyu at all.
There are 80,000 words in the world, but only love words hurt people the most.
This life.
Xia Fan really hasn't experienced unforgettable love.
But in his previous life, he had experienced the taste of being trapped in love.
Unforgettable, hard to let go.
Just because I understand.
That's why he didn't want Zhou Xiaoyu to fall into the pain of love words, especially the pain of not being able to love.
"Xiaofei, you go back and rest first, I want to be alone. ”
There was a brief silence.
Xia Fan looked at the lake in front of him that was sparkling in the moonlight.
"Yes!"
Shi Xiaofei sighed lightly in his heart, turned around and left without saying a word.
He is no longer the same person he used to be.
How could he not see the entanglement in Xia Fan's heart.
In fact, after perceiving Zhou Xiaoyu's feelings for Xia Fan's predecessors, Shi Xiaofei had already expected this result from the beginning.
But what can he do?
Could it be that he wanted to persuade Zhou Xiaoyu in person.
Small fish.
Don't be stupid.
You and Xia Fan's predecessors will not be fruitful.
Good!
Even if he did.
Will Zhou Xiaoyu listen?
The answer is no.
Whether it is with his understanding of Zhou Xiaoyu, or about the feelings of men and women.
Shi Xiaofei knew it very well.
Zhou Xiaoyu not only won't listen, but may even turn his face with himself.
Therefore, in front of Zhou Xiaoyu, he will avoid this aspect of the problem as much as possible.
One is a senior whom he respects.
One is the "younger sister" who has long been regarded as a relative.
Shi Xiaofei, who was caught in it, could be described as a dilemma.
What could he do?
Think about it.
After all, this is a matter for Zhou Xiaoyu and Xia Fan's predecessors.
Leave everything to the two of you.
It's really that he can't really help in this, but will backfire and ask for trouble.
Escaping will not solve the problem.
Xia Fan chose to be alone and quiet not because he wanted to escape, but because he wanted to think calmly about how to solve the problem.
When the dawn breaks.
He's already decided.
He planned to have a frank and direct conversation with Zhou Xiaoyu.
Back to the courtyard.
As soon as Xia Fan lay down on the rocking chair, Zhou Xiaoyu's concerned voice sounded in his ears.
"Uncle Asheng, haven't you rested all night?"
"Aren't you the same?"
Xia Fan turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaoyu, who was walking gracefully at the court gate, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
Haven't seen it in years.
She really is no longer the tomboy girl she is familiar with in her memory.
Now that her body has completely grown, she even makes Xia Fan feel a little strange.
Fair skin.
Beautiful face.
Delicate and tall figure.
No matter from which point of view, Zhou Xiaoyu has become a beautiful big girl.
"How did Uncle Ah Sheng know that Xiaoyu hadn't rested all night?"
Zhou Xiaoyu came to Xia Fan's side and looked at him shyly without the slightest restraint, with a generous and charming smile on his face.
"Uncle not only knows that you haven't slept all night, but even wants to eavesdrop on the conversation between Uncle and Xiaofei all the time. ”
Xia Fan pouted.
"Hehe, Xiaoyu, aren't you curious, Uncle Asheng, you won't be angry, right?"
Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly smiled and lay on Xia Fan's hand and said coquettishly.
"Do you think Uncle will be angry with you for this little thing?"
Xia Fan didn't have a good airway.
"Of course not, because Xiaoyu knows that Uncle Ah Sheng loves me the most. ”
The smile on Zhou Xiaoyu's face became brighter and brighter.
"Xiaoyu, you should really want to know what Uncle and Xiaofei said in the back mountain, right?"
Xia Fan seemed to be careless.
In fact, before heading to the back mountain lake.
He didn't deliberately block his conversation with Shi Xiaofei.
It wasn't until he went to the back mountain to talk about Zhou Xiaoyu that he isolated Zhou Xiaoyu's perceptual exploration.
Wait until he unblocks and returns to the courtyard.
Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't wait to come over.
"Uncle Asheng, Xiao Yu really wants to know what you said to Xiao Feige. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu generously admitted.
"Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, and now you just want to ask Uncle for verification, so Uncle can tell you without concealment, what we are talking about is what you think in your heart. ”
Xia Fan said in a calm tone.
“......”
Zhou Xiaoyu fell silent instantly when he heard this.
"Uncle Asheng, you know everything?"
Long.
She took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Xia Fandao without fear.
"I know it all. ”
Xia Fan said softly.
"So...... Is there anything Uncle Ah Sheng wants to say to Xiaoyu?"
Zhou Xiaoyu bit his lip with silver teeth, his eyes were fixed on Xia Fan, and his voice unconsciously trembled with a hint of trembling.
"Xiaoyu, do you know what Uncle's first reaction was when he learned your idea?"
Xia Fan said unhurriedly.
"Confused. ”
"Confused ......"
Zhou Xiaoyu muttered.
"Yes, because Uncle is very confused, why do you have such feelings for Uncle, this is the most puzzling thing for Uncle. ”
Xia Fan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly.
“...... Because in Xiaoyu's heart, Uncle is the most important person in Xiaoyu's life besides his mother, and he is the person who makes Xiaoyu unable to give up in this life. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of crystal.
Especially after the death of his mother, Xiao Yu felt that he was already alone in the world, if there was no uncle, Xiao Yu would not know what the meaning of living in this world was. ”
Xiao Fei will be sad to hear it. ”
Xia Fan said helplessly.
"Brother Xiao Fei is different, over the years, Xiao Yu has always been very grateful to Brother Xiao Fei for taking care of him, but ......"
Speaking of which.
Zhou Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and sniffled.
"Brother Xiaofei can't replace the position of uncle and mother in Xiaoyu's heart, uncle, do you know? Xiaoyu has practiced desperately, all in order to see his uncle again, and never be separated from his uncle again......
“...... The problem is that you don't have to have that kind of affection for your uncle. ”
Xia Fan said with a headache.
"No, it's different! Only in this way can Xiao Yu be with Uncle all the time in this life! Uncle! Let Xiao Yu give you a baby!"
When Zhou Xiaoyu said this extremely impactful tiger and wolf words.
Xia Fandu was completely stunned.
Have a baby?!
What the heck?!
Zhou Xiaoyu, Zhou Xiaoyu!
When did you start to be so bold and arrogant, and even dare to say such things to my face?!
When Xia Fan forcibly calmed down.
The corners of his mouth were still twitching slightly.
"Little fish, don't say that again. ”
"Uncle, isn't Xiaoyu beautiful now?"
Who knew that Zhou Xiaoyu stood up directly and looked at Xia Fandao with a calm expression.
"Beauty, but it's not about beauty. ”
Xia Fan couldn't help frowning.
"Uncle, do you hate small fish?"
Zhou Xiaoyu continued.
"How could Uncle hate Xiaoyu. ”
Xia Fan's heart gradually gave birth to an ominous premonition.
"Does Uncle like small fish?"
Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"I like it, but Xiaoyu, you have to understand that Uncle's liking for you is not the love of men and women. ”
Xia Fan explained.
"Even if it's not the love of men and women, as long as the uncle likes the little fish, and the little fish likes the uncle, these are enough. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu said in a quiet tone.
Damn?!
Sick?!
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyu's mental state was becoming more and more wrong.
Xia Fan instantly snorted coldly.
"Humph!"
Time.
The cold humming sound of the morning bell and dusk drum echoed throughout the Forest Mist Villa in an instant.
Meanwhile.
Zhou Xiaoyu was shocked, and his deep eyes gradually regained their clarity.
"Sorry uncle, Xiaoyu ......"
Zhou Xiaoyu seemed to realize something, and hurriedly lowered his head and said.
"Xiaoyu, haven't you noticed it yet, you have a demon now, and the influence of the demon on you is getting more and more serious......"
Xia Fan looked at Zhou Xiaoyudao in front of him with complicated eyes.
Be a victim of demons.
Naturally, he was very aware of the dangers of demons.
No doubt.
Now Zhou Xiaoyu has been quietly eroded by the demons in his heart, so that his heart has been seriously affected.
"Uncle, Xiaoyu is really in pain now......"
Zhou Xiaoyu clenched his fists, and tears fell to the ground under his feet.
"Xiaoyu knows, Xiaoyu knows everything, Xiaoyu knows that he shouldn't have that kind of affection for his uncle, Xiaoyu knows that there will be no result with his uncle, but ...... Xiaoyu couldn't control his feelings...... Uncle, what should I do with the little fish!"
“...... Xiaoyu, the demons can often only be overcome by themselves, and the help given by others will be very limited, so far, Uncle can only help you temporarily suppress the demons, as for the follow-up enlightenment is useless, it depends entirely on yourself. ”
Xia Fan said with a solemn expression.
"Uncle ......"
Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly looked up at Xia Fandao with teary eyes.
"Don't worry, there is an uncle, and the uncle will not let you have anything to do. ”
Xia Fan stood up from the rocking chair and gently patted Zhou Xiaoyu's shoulder and said in relief.
"Uncle ......"
Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but pounce into Xia Fan's arms anymore when he heard this.
"Alas......"
on this.
Xia Fan's face became more and more heavy.
Don't think he doesn't know.
After Zhou Xiaoyu threw himself into his arms, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a fleeting weird smile.
Thus.
Zhou Xiaoyu has let the heart demon erode to such a serious extent.
"Little fish, look me in the eye. ”
Moment.
He grabbed Zhou Xiaoyu's shoulders with both hands and gently pushed them away, and said in an unusually calm tone.
"Uncle?"
When Zhou Xiaoyu subconsciously looked at Xia Fan's deep eyes that were like whirlpools, his whole face was stunned.
Wait until Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes regain clarity.
She immediately looked around vigilantly, and soon, after seeing Xia Fan lying leisurely on the rocking chair, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time pounced on Xia Fan excitedly.
"Uncle Asheng, I was really scared to death just now, and Xiaoyu thought that he had fallen into the hands of some bad guy. ”
"Maybe you accidentally fell asleep, it's not early, and we're getting ready to go. ”
said.
Xia Fan stretched a big lazy waist casually.
"Let's go, Uncle Sheng, where are we going?"
Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly said with a blank face when he heard this.
"Didn't Uncle say it yesterday? ”
Xia Fan shook his head and casually scratched Zhou Xiaoyu's nose.
"Oh oh oh, the little fish remembered. ”
Zhou Xiaoyu thought for a moment before suddenly saying.
"Xiao Yu, you go and inform Xiao Fei and Xiao Ming to prepare. ”
Xia Fan waved his hand directly.
"Okay!"
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded with a smile and disappeared into the courtyard.
"There's no way, in order to suppress the erosion of demons, Uncle can only temporarily seal part of your memory. ”
Looking at the direction where Zhou Xiaoyu left.
Xia Fan's face immediately sank.
"Senpai!"
"Shopkeeper!"
Not much.
Zhou Xiaoyu and Shi Xiaofei and Xiaoming came to the courtyard together.
Xia Fan nodded to them and said hello.
The next moment.
There was no sign of the four in the courtyard.
Xia Fan naturally knew the location of the Golden Finch Dynasty, so there was no possibility of getting lost, and as a freshly baked earth immortal, even if he encountered demons on the way, he could take care of them casually, but Xia Fan didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he simply covered up the breath of their group.
I don't know how many days have passed.
After successfully arriving at the Golden Bird Dynasty.
The one who led the way became Xiao Ming.
It's nothing more than that he is the only one in the team who knows the specific location of the gate of Shouqing Pavilion.
Unlike other dynastic states that have been ravaged by demons.
The Gorse Dynasty is undoubtedly the best dynasty to defend against demons, at least most of the land is still firmly in its hands and has not been invaded by demons.
Of course.
This is related to the strength of the Golden Bird Dynasty's cultivation world.
has the seat of the boss of the god realm.
If the demons want to conquer the Golden Bird Dynasty, they must gather many demon kings.
According to the strategy developed by the demons.
After completing the strategic encirclement, the Golden Bird Dynasty is undoubtedly the final decisive battlefield, so at present, the demons are more likely to contain the Golden Bird Dynasty.
When Xia Fan and the others came to Shouqing Pavilion smoothly.
But they got bad news.
Dong Chae-reung and Momoko mysteriously disappeared.
