Xiao Dongshan's forehead was bleeding, his head was a little dizzy, and he only heard a voice in his head that kept reminding him: "Hold on, hold on!" He gritted his teeth, staggered to his feet, and walked towards the village, he wanted to go up the mountain, he wanted to ask Zixuzi in person.

The white-faced and weak man made a look, and the thick beard and mighty walked into the village quickly, and the white-faced weak followed behind Xiao Dongshan silently.

After entering the village, Xiao Dongshan had no intention of looking left and right, and walked towards the mountain in a daze. When I walked to the balcony in front of the meditation room where I had recuperated in the past, I saw Zixuzi floating from afar.

Xiao Dongshan saluted and said, "Senior, please inform me that this is not true." Zixuzi said: "It can't be fake, it can't be fake, life is like a dream, why be persistent!" Xiao Dongshan said: "I have been trapped on a small island in the South Seas for more than a year, but I didn't expect to lose my closest people like this. Zixuzi pointed to the stone bench, and the two of them sat down on the two stools where Master Rujian and Brother Lili were sitting that day.

Zixuzi said: "It's been more than a year since the incident, and the little brother is mourning, but the poor monk has seen it. Xiao Dongshan nodded slightly, speechless for a while. Zixuzi said: "Twenty years ago, the poor road was not yet a monk, because of the difficult understanding of mundane things, there was a heart of self-immolation, even the firewood was placed, on that day, Lili was born, her cry was like nectar into my heart, so I suddenly realized, no longer seek death, then left the world, hidden in the mountains. Pity my child, untainted by the world, the most sincere, the most gentle, the most affectionate, and the most righteous person in the world, but he ended up like this! 'I was sad, and my heart was detached'! Xiao Dongshan continued: "'Still taking care of the high hills, crying like sprinkling'! ”

The two were silent for a long time. In order to endure his sadness, Xiao Dongshan diverted the topic and said: "There is another grave next to Lili's grave, is Lili's brother?" Zixuzi nodded and said: "It's my nephew, he ruined my family when he was young, I was forced by him to want to set myself on fire, and then we both put our past away, and we have lived in harmony in this village for many years." He was a good man, but he was seduced by others when he was young...... Hey, the wound of separation needs the bone marrow and blood of his loved ones to save him, and there is only a fifty percent chance of being able to save him, so he wants to give it a try, and it really took his life. It's also that my immortal path is still shallow, and it's also his insistence on doing so! Alas! Alas! ”

Xiao Dongshan was amazed.

Zixuzi said: "Little brother, how is your Yuanhua umbrella practice?" Xiao Dongshan said: "Seniors, I really haven't practiced, because at sea, the ship was wrecked and almost injured, and the belongings were lost, and the booklet you taught was also washed away by the sea, I didn't keep it properly, and I failed my predecessors." Zixuzi was surprised and said, "You haven't practiced at all?" Xiao Dongshan said honestly: "No." ”

Zixuzi suddenly hit Xiao Dongshan's shoulder with a palm, Xiao Dongshan hurriedly dodged, his right palm came to the grid, Zixuzi's palm was a false move, just like Xiao Dongshan was calculated to block like this, a sturdy palm was imprinted on Xiao Dongshan's palm, and the two palms were connected, Xiao Dongshan only felt that his whole body was tight, and then he was loosened, and a warmth on his body flashed away.

After trying Xiao Dongshan's martial arts, Zixuzi said, "Little brother, what are your plans?" Xiao Dongshan gritted his teeth and said: "I will go down the mountain tomorrow, I will kill Feng Rufeng alive!" Zixuzi took out a handkerchief and said, "I heard that you were here, so I took this out, you see, what is this?" Xiao Dongshan untied the handkerchief and saw that it was a piece of skin, and the word "good" was tattooed on the skin! Zixuzi said: "Injured and separated people, you said that one person has long been dead, and the other person has also been cut alive, this is his skin." The matter of revenge is over. ”

Xiao Dongshan was silent for a while, and then confided in his heart: "I originally wanted to go to my master to see if I could get an official job, but now I am in despair, as if time has stood still, I have to slow down." Zixuzi shook his head first, then nodded, and said, "I'll just look at what officials want." When you talk about time stagnating, you can see that you have a little enlightenment. Did you know that this time is like a dough dough, which can be stretched and flattened? Xiao Dongshan let out an "ah" and said, "I really didn't think about it." ”

Zixuzi said: "If you don't practice the Yuanhua umbrella and don't refine the Yuanshen from the body first, how can you figure out this kind of thing?" I hate that the fairy road is still shallow, and my daughter has not been saved! You are a wise man, so it is better to stay and practice with me, maybe enlightenment will be above me and break through my shackles. ”

Xiao Dongshan had a sense of seeing the sun, and said: "My predecessors taught me!" Saying that, he stood up and wanted to salute, Zixuzi stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and said, "I can teach the arts, but I never accept apprentices, so you don't need to be polite." That being the case, you have rested in this meditation room tonight, and I will take you to a place tomorrow. With that, he got up and went up the mountain.

Xiao Dongshan entered the meditation room, took out the basin, washed his face with water, and lay down on the bed, where can he sleep? He kept reminding himself in his heart: "I don't want to be sad, I don't want to be sad, I don't want to let grief knock me down!" I am no longer in the world, and I want to live well! Didn't I live well before I knew and left? Then he repeated the sentence "Didn't I live well before I knew the separation" hundreds of times, and finally asked himself: "Can I really live without separation?" Can I really forget about her? I don't know if I can do it...... I didn't believe in an afterlife, but I now hope that there will be an afterlife so that I can see her again, and I will be with her for the rest of my life! Is there really an afterlife? My body is dead, will my soul remain? Where will my soul go? How does my soul find separation in the afterlife? How does my soul find separation in the afterlife? How my soul finds the separation of the afterlife! Do I really want to cultivate here to attain these things? Yes, I'm going to stay, there's still a detached grave here! How could I leave her! I can't say, I have penetrated life and death, passed through life and death, and can still find separation! Can I still find separation after I have passed through life and death? ”

Tossing and turning in bed until the wee hours of the morning, he finally got tired and fell asleep.

After a while, I dreamed that my old-fashioned father was reprimanding me for not studying well and only loving to dance with guns and sticks, I looked at my father with a smile, and I no longer had that fear, looking at the wrinkles in the corners of my father's eyes, I suddenly felt indescribably kind, and after a while, I dreamed that I caught a little snake and put it in my brother's bookcase, which scared him to stumble, and he stood at the door with a wicked smile, and there was a hateful look from his stepmother. He was startled and woke up from his dream.

I woke up and didn't understand why I dreamed of my father and brother, but I jumped back to the question I had before I fell asleep, and the answer to that question couldn't have been clearer - I would never have been able to leave! Suddenly, my heart was like a knife, and tears were like rain.

He sat up and howled loudly. After crying for a while, he gradually stopped crying, and couldn't help but ask himself, "Why have I been crying until now?" Yes, my grief is so heavy that it can't even walk on its own, so late! Well, sorrow comes slowly, it must go slowly, it's okay, I will be accompanied by sorrow all my life, and if you leave, you will always be engraved in my heart! ”

It was already slightly bright, he got up and folded the futon, fetched water and washed his hands and feet, sat on the stone bench outside for a while, and calmed down.

After a while, Zixuzi and Daotong walked down the mountain. Zixuzi said: "You have nothing but a coat!" Xiao Dongshan didn't know what it meant, so he took off his robe as he said. Dao Tong stepped forward to take it, and he had already taken the needle and thread in his hand and embroidered it on his robe. Xiao Dongshan was quite surprised, and according to Daotong's needlework, he saw that he had embroidered two words on his chest - two "eight" characters.

Xiao Dongshan didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask, Zixuzi said, "Come with me!" ”

The two of them descended the mountainside and came to the residence of the villagers of Jiayang Village. When he arrived in the village, the white-faced and weak man was feeding the chickens, and the thick beard was chopping firewood. The thick beard replied majestically: "Got it! The white-faced man was weak and didn't say a word, and he evoked his chicken again: "Boom! ”

Walking to a tiled house, Zixuzi pointed and said, "In the future, this house will be for you to live in." Xiao Dongshan remembered.

The two continued to move forward, and after a while, they walked in front of the rows of green bricks, Xiao Dongshan walked through the pile of green bricks with Zixuzi who was two people high, turned several corners, and finally showed a piece of flat land, and at the end of the flat land, it was a big brick kiln!

Xiao Dongshan followed Zixuzi into the cave and was startled-there were dense people inside!
