Chapter 55: The Way of Life
The dream is faint, and I don't know where.
From time to time, there was a chattering voice, like a mother's murmur on the phone.
From time to time, sighs and encouragement were heard, like the call of his father's old age.
Mobile phones flutter, cars honk, sky planes whimper, subway roars underfoot...
The familiar civilization faded away, and the white sword light that fell from the sky cut everything off.
The purple moon, the miserable white sun, the calm face, the beautiful posture, the smiling face, the shy eyes...
Strangeness has replaced familiarity, civilization has replaced civilization, and the world has changed.
"Are you Zhou Yan?"
"You're not Zhou Yan!"
"Who are you?"
There was a roar in his head, like the call of the Demon God of Hell, like the sigh of the Celestial Saint.
"Rubbish! Cultivation is lost! Eat and wait for death! Who are you worthy?"
"Do what you want to do! If your desire is to live a happy life, then why be a hero?"
"The rivers and lakes are full of grievances, and the real maturity is to forget fame and fortune and accompany the family. β
"But what do you have to do to live, although you don't have to care about the eyes of the world and live for yourself, but who wants to be despised all the time?"
"Why did you retire, why did you come back?"
Countless voices swirled in my head, and various faces emerged in an endless stream, mixed with the voices of the two civilizations, which completely exploded like **.
"Ahh
Zhou Yan exclaimed in surprise and sat up suddenly, covered with sweat and cold.
The surrounding scene became clear from hazy, and Bei Shao Mingyue leaned over and said softly, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Yan closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and only opened his eyes again after a while.
Thinking a lot calmer, he nodded and said, "Where is this?"
Bei Shao Mingyue said: "Zhou Wen's dormitory, your dormitory caught fire and burned down. β
Zhou Yan said: "How did I get here?"
Bei Shao Mingyue whispered: "Senior Guo Yu came over, he said that there was something wrong with you, but he couldn't check it, so Zhuge Tiezhu invited Sect Master Chen to come over." β
Grandmaster Chen: That Zhuge Family's Dan Dao Grandmaster?
Zhou Yan looked up and saw a chubby face, big dimples, big eyes, a pig nose, and big thick lips.
Dressed in extravagant brocade robes, with jeweled accessories, and a large wrench on his hand.
With blue and black hair and a red face, this is the Dan Dao Grandmaster?
Isn't he in his early 100s? Why does he look like he's only forty or fifty years old?
"The contemptible Chen Sanye, I have heard the demeanor of the bright swordsman for a long time, and now when I see it, it is really the posture of heaven and man. β
The fat man hugged his fists, and the smile on his face was so obscene.
You're satirizing Lao Tzu!
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention the Dan Dao Grandmaster who saved himself.
Zhou Yan hurriedly said: "Sect Master Chen is polite, I really appreciate you for coming so far to help." β
Chen Sanye waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, the Zhuge family is also in the center of the city, and it is only two or three miles away from here. β
"And it didn't help much, it just gave you a swelling. β
Detumescence?
Old Zhou Yan's face flushed, damn, this... Embarrassing, so many people are here.
Moreover, how can this so-called Dan Dao Grandmaster speak with Uncle Kang in a virtuous manner?
Bei Shao Mingyue said: "You were bitten by a mocking worm, Sect Master Chen said that dizziness, hallucinations, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth These reactions are normal, they don't hurt the body, and they will be gone after that." β
"Mocking worms?"
Zhou Yan pretended to be puzzled and said, "What is it?"
Chen Sanye said: "A kind of voice changing insect, but it is extremely rare, it will cause swelling after biting..."
Speaking of this, he took Zhou Yan's hand and sighed: "Zhou Gongzi, although this thing will cause swelling, you can't use it like this, I have a more professional pill to solve the unspeakable hidden in this regard." β
"Huh?"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened instantly, dead fat man, what do you mean by this?
Deliberately fix Lao Tzu, right?
Zhou Yuanxiong hurriedly came up and said, "Anyway, thank you Grandmaster Chen." β
"No thanks, there are three hundred medium-grade spirit stones. β
Chen Sanye spoke slowly.
Zhou Yuanxiong's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he said in shock: "Three hundred? Are you robbing money? The top brand of the drunken dance building is not so expensive, and you haven't done anything yet!"
Zhuge Tiezhu hurriedly said: "It is Grandmaster Chen's rule to collect money, but I gave this money, so the master, the master, and the master don't have to worry." β
Zhou Yan is also on fire, this surnamed Chen can't be a liar, right...
Chen Sanye smiled: "I haven't done anything now, but I'm going to be cured next!"
Zhou Yuanxiong said: "He is cured, what else can he treat?"
Chen Sanye smiled lightly and said, "His injury has healed, but his heart disease has become more and more serious. β
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's heart was shocked.
The others looked at each other and couldn't help frowning.
Chen Sanye said: "Everyone, please go out for a while, I want to talk to Zhou Gongzi alone." β
"Thank you, Sect Master Chen. β
Bei Shake Mingyue gave Zhou Yan a reassuring look, and then went out with Zhou Yuanxiong and the others, who were a little confused.
The room suddenly fell silent, and only Zhou Yan and Chen Sanye were left.
To be honest, Zhou Yan was also a little confused.
I didn't know if it was a dream or something, but I heard countless sounds and hallucinated all kinds of things, and I was very tired.
woke up and faced this strange Chen Sanye, and didn't know what he was going to do for a while.
This look, also a fucking Dan Dao Grandmaster?
Chen Sanye didn't lean over, but sat on the chair next to him, resting his head on his arm, and said slowly: "Master Zhou, do you know what I'm going to say?"
Zhou Yan frowned and said, "I don't know, but I suggest you be straightforward." β
Chen Sanye nodded and said, "You have a problem with your emotions, to be precise, you have a problem with your heart." β
Zhou Yan almost jumped up in fright, isn't it, this person is so awesome, he can actually see a puppet doll?
Zhou Yan didn't dare to say anything for a while.
Chen Sanye said: "Maybe it's because of the dark pollution, it is true, I noticed the dark aura on your body." Or maybe it's the extreme psychological pressure caused by your loss of cultivation. β
"Of course, it's possible that for other reasons, but anyway, you seem to be in a weird period of confusion. β
"It's like you can't find a direction in life, it's like you're struggling with an important decision, which causes your soul to be unable to focus, causing your dantian's aura to be even more chaotic. β
"What are you struggling with? I feel like you're even involving... Dao!"
Chen Sanye's voice pierced Zhou Yan's heart like a needle.
Zhou Yan's face was gloomy and he sneered.
He knew that he was seen through by Chen Sanye.
Although this person does not look like a master, he is indeed a master, and he sees what he is most entangled in - the way of life.
How can a person live?
Zhou Yan has always been very firm before: happy, happy, stable, happy, without those so-called lofty ideals, to be a fool who eats and waits for death.
But since entering the Taixue Palace, his mind has gradually wavered.
Because of Bei Shaking Mingyue, he began to feel that he was not good enough and did not deserve her kindness to him.
Because of Shadow Pupil and the puppet doll, he begins to feel weak and unable to control his own destiny.
Because of his family and the people around him, he began to feel as if he couldn't feel at ease as a wastewood, and he felt as if he should live a little bit to make everyone happy.
He didn't want to endure ridicule and scorn anymore because of everything around himβeven if he didn't care what other people thought, he didn't want to hear about it.
The most important thing is Gu Jing!
He assassinated himself twice!
Both times it almost worked!
And the reason is simply that he has a crush on Shadow Pupil, but he and Shadow Pupil are too close...... Ridiculous reasons.
This made Zhou Yan feel a kind of fear, and this fear made him start to feel that it seemed as if anyone could shatter his dream of eating and waiting for death.
That kind of dream, even if it comes true, is just a flash in the pan.
Anyway, all these and various reasons made Zhou Yan shaken.
He didn't know what to do now.
Choosing to practice is too hard, too tiring, and full of dangers.
Choosing to retire, but I am a man-made sword, and I am a fish.
Zhou Yan knew that this decision would affect his life, so Chen Sanye also said that it involved the Tao.
Yes, the way of life.
How to choose?
