Tianshan Chapter 22 Seeking the Way of Heaven and Proving Immortality (II)
At this time, there was still some time before dark, and the two decided to walk slowly up from the mountainside of Xinghe Peak, visiting the mountain scenery along the way.
The Xinghe Peak is clear and clear, and the scenery is beautiful. The mountains are covered with countless pine trees, with beautiful postures and strong branches, which are still lush and full of life despite being weathered.
Soon they were on the silver line. Hundreds of years ago, the earth dragon rolled, and the place suddenly cracked, leaving a narrow gap. Li Muyun looked up, and the stones in the clouds opened brocade cracks, and the blue sky was a foot long.
The vicissitudes of life, the world changes, even this piece of the world, will be changed by time. This strengthened Qingying's heart to the Tao, and only by seeking the Great Dao can he retain his true self and live forever in the world.
The two continued to walk, and at the corner of the mountain road, they found a person standing under a pine tree on the edge of the cliff, quietly watching the sea of clouds on the Xinghe Peak.
When he saw Li Muyun's face clearly, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if remembering some painful memories, the cold light in his eyes flashed, he smiled slightly, and looked at Li Muyun kindly.
This person is Li Xuantong, the sect leader of the Jingming Sect, and he is the second person in the Li family of Tianshan except for the patriarch Li Taiyi. However, he is the son of a concubine and used to be Li Mufan's biggest supporter.
The innate supernatural powers bestowed on Li Muyun by the primordial light still made him keenly perceive the malice in Li Xuantong's heart. He landed behind Kiyokage, blocking out the hostile peeps.
Qingying took Li Muyun's hand and walked slowly towards the peak, and soon disappeared from Li Xuantong's field of vision.
Li Xuantong asked softly to the pine tree next to him: "That kid just now is Li Qianshan's son?" ”
The pine tree split two scars, revealing a pair of dark red eyes: "He is Li Muyun, the son of Li Qianshan, and the soul devouring is in his body." ”
Li Xuantong's tone revealed a faint killing intent: "It's too similar to Li Qianshan when he was a child, no wonder he is so hateful, didn't you catch him yesterday?" Why did it fail in the end? ”
Songshu's tone was a little disappointed: "He actually has six pure bamboos, the supreme treasures of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, hidden in his body, and our demonic qi pollution plan has completely failed. ”
Li Xuantong smiled slightly: "There are thousands of ways to enter the demon in the world, and there is always one that suits him." If you can't kill him, won't the soul eater get out of trouble? ”
Songshu was a little helpless: "His body involves a secret, which is related to the advent of our Demon Ancestor, and we can't let him die yet." ”
Li Xuantong sighed: "Then there is only one way to go, forcing him to take the initiative to enter the demon himself." ”
The pine tree closed his eyes and stopped responding. The sky darkened, the moon rose, and the place was quiet again, as if nothing had happened.
Li Muyun and Qingying finally came to the viewing platform of Xinghe Peak.
The moon rises and the clouds rise, the wind is clear at night, the stars are shaking, and the river is empty.
Li Muyun and Qingying sat on the rocks, looking up at the starry sky, looking for Morning Glory and Weaver Girl together.
"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl haven't seen each other for a year, and they must miss each other very much. Uncle Xiaoshi, if I am gone in the future, will you miss me? ”
Qingying pondered for a moment and responded to his question, "I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. ”
Li Muyun was a little disappointed: "Uncle Junior, do you have anyone you miss now?" ”
Kiyokage shook her head firmly.
Li Muyun suddenly felt a little sad: he didn't even have the people he missed, he must be very lonely. I must work hard to become the person that Uncle Xiao misses. "Uncle Xiao, when you forget the Heavenly Book and practice to the point where you have a situation, you will definitely miss me very much."
Qingying was puzzled: "Mu Yun, why should I miss you?" ”
Li Muyun told her: "Missing is a simple beauty, which can implicate each other's hearts. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are separated by a galaxy, but they live in each other's hearts, not necessarily in the morning and twilight, but only in the depths of their souls. ”
Qingying looked at him quietly, his eyes were clear and bright, like a pearl: "Mu Yun, I practice hard, in order to reach the second level of the Heavenly Book Pair as soon as possible, I miss you a hundred times a day." ”
Li Muyun's heart was happy, like a brilliant galaxy in the sky.
The two sat under the starry sky for a long time before returning to the Flying Flower Cave, and Qingying used the Book of Forgetfulness to help Li Muyun stabilize his soul.
A lot has happened today, with sorrow and joy. Li Muyun was lying on the cold jade bed to calm his thoughts, and was about to fall asleep peacefully, but there was a whisper of Qingying in his ears.
"Mu Yun, you can't sleep, you have to start thinking about me."
Li Muyun looked helpless: "Uncle Xiao, aren't you right next to me, why should I miss you?" ”
"I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. You can't ask me now, I can't sleep if I want to. ”
Until midnight, the moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the sleepless world. Li Muyun opened his tired eyes, if love is mutual torture, I would rather never.
After a long night, Li Muyun finally fell asleep peacefully.
The sky was bright, the sun had not yet risen, and Li Muyun's ears sounded a nightmarish voice like a clear shadow.
"Mu Yun, get up, let's study the Book of Poetry together and practice Guan Ju."
Li Muyun lamented weakly in his heart: Do you want to torture me from morning to night, and you don't want to stop for a moment? He hung his head, sat up from the bed in a gloomy manner, remembered a sentence in the Book of Songs, and suddenly shuddered: The hand of the son and the son are both old, is it like this to torture each other until the head is white?
Li Muyun woke up in an instant, and today he had to escape from Uncle Xiao's magic no matter what. made a look of great helplessness, and said to Qingying: "Little uncle, I worshipped Wuji's father as a teacher, and I am going to practice in the Valley of the Wind today, so I can't accompany you." ”
After Qingying sent him to the Demon Cave to report, he returned to the Flying Flower Cave alone.
She suddenly had some doubts and came to the top to look for the dragon butterfly. Long Die is standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the morning glow in the distance.
Qingying asked her: "Mu Yun is unhappy, he doesn't like to practice with me and understand the mystery of love." ”
Long Die looked at her with anger: "You are just playing with emotions, and you are disrespecting Li Muyun the most." ”
Qingying was puzzled: "I just comprehended the true meaning of love with Mu Yun, so why is it disrespectful?" ”
Long Die's eyes shot a cold light, and his tone was cold: "You just try it for the sake of cultivation, but he will really devote himself." If, one day, in the future, you give up your love for the sake of spiritual practice, how do you let him behave himself? ”
Qingying couldn't help but ask: "Can't you let go of love once you have it?" Will it stay with us for the rest of our lives? ”
Long Die couldn't answer for a while, and after thinking for a moment, he told her: "Falling in love is a matter of two people, if one person lets go, and the other can't let go, it means that this person will fall into endless pain." ”
Qingying asked curiously, "Then why can't we put it down together?" ”
Long Die patiently replied: "We are sentient beings, not ruthless beings. Sometimes there is no reason at all, and once you fall into it, you can't extricate yourself. Cultivating to become a Buddha is also very simple, it can be broken, let go, and be at ease. But how many people can do it? ”
Long Die looked at the pure shadow as ice and snow, and suddenly felt that she was very pathetic, she couldn't have the emotions that ordinary people had, and she couldn't experience the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people. What is the meaning of such a practice, even if she soars to become an immortal, how different is it from plants and trees?
Qingying was a little confused: I and Mu Yun comprehended love together, will it really hurt him?
Long Die patiently persuaded: "Actually, as long as you let go of the obsession of cultivation and sincerely comprehend love with Li Muyun, that's fine." Maybe then you will be able to better understand the meaning of affection and be fair to him. ”
Qingying was incomprehensible for a while, and asked Long Die: "If it's not for cultivation, what's the meaning of love?" Life is nothing but a big dream, and sooner or later you will wake up. Only by attaining the Tao through cultivation can we be eternal. "Cultivation is the only thing she has to do in her life, and she doesn't understand what life means other than practice.
Long Die sighed softly: "Life is like a dream, so have you fallen into a dream?" If you wake up from a dream, you will never be heartbroken. If you don't dream, life is just a blank and pale and powerless. Even getting eternity is no different than a stone. ”
Long Die pointed to a stubborn rock at the top of the mountain, "This stone has existed thousands of years ago, maybe it will exist thousands of years later, what is the significance of you telling me?" ”
Qingying looked at the stone, and stood for a long time, speechless. Is my whole life like that stone?
Life is like a dream, just a hundred years. She originally thought that only by constantly pursuing the way of heaven can she get out of her dreams and make life no longer empty, and the love in the world is just an obstacle on the road of cultivation, and it is a test for the world by God.
Are Heavenly Dao and Immortality really that important? Is life really just nothingness?
If this is the case, then why do I still ask for eternal life, only to live in vain in those long years?
What exactly do I want?
For the first time, Kiyokage had doubts about her heart to the path.
In the past, she let go of her love in order to practice and cultivate the way of ruthlessness. Now she is looking for love again for the sake of cultivation and cultivating the way of affection.
Everything in life is for the sake of cultivation, breaking the shackles of life, seeking the way of heaven, and living forever.
But if I seek the way of heaven and exist like a stone, what is the point?
Qingying fell into confusion, her Dao heart was already shaken, and she had doubts about everything in her life.
Long Die looked at the confused Qingying and was a little relieved: her Dao heart was too complete and she had lost the direction of progress. Broken and then standing, maybe with flaws, she can enter the next step of cultivation, step into the realm of sentient beings, and regain her emotions.
