Chapter 1 A simple question
The first chapter is a simple question
Does the universe have reincarnation? If not, then what is the meaning of an epiphany-like life? When people pay attention to an epiphany that blooms at midnight, do they ever know how many epiphany, in the dark, bloom silently and wither in an unnoticed corner?
If life is reincarnated, then what is the purpose of reincarnation again and again?
......
"Wake up, wake up, wake ......up" A distant call came from his ears, as if tens of millions of years had passed, and it was just a moment of beauty, when Lin Junxuan woke up from the boundless darkness, the faces of several men in black appeared in front of Lin Junxuan.
"Master, there's another one alive here. Seeing Lin Junxuan open his eyes, a man who appeared above the coffin mouth shouted into the distance with a look of surprise.
"Get him out. A faint voice said. Several men in black reached out to carry Lin Junxuan out of the coffin.
"No need. Lin Junxuan waved his hand, stood up in the surprised eyes of several men in black, and glanced down at the skull under his feet, Lin Junxuan crawled out of the coffin.
It was already daylight, and on the ground, a coffin had been overturned, and it was covered with some dirt. Lin Junxuan looked into the distance, and all the coffin lids were opened. The lid of the coffin was empty, and the children were nowhere to be seen.
In the center of this wilderness, on a slightly protruding hill, sat the Master and a few orphans, the 'Master' sitting silently on the ground with his knees folded and his hands folded, as if waiting for the others.
"Sit down. "'Master' seemed to sense Lin Junxuan's gaze and beckoned from afar. Lin Junxuan shook his clothes, and then walked over. As soon as she sat down, Xiao Rou burst into a bowl of hot soup.
"Drink, warm your belly. Xiao Rou grinned, held the tray and walked away with a smile.
Lin Junxuan looked around, Bai Chubing, Xiao Yi, Zuo Chuanming, Hua Jieyu, and Long Xiaotian were also looking at him, and the gazes of these people looking at Lin Junxuan were a little complicated. Seeing Lin Junxuan looking at himself, he quickly turned back again.
"Finish the soup, it's time to decide where you're going. "'Master' glanced at Lin Junxuan and said indifferently.
Lin Junxuan didn't say anything, picked up the hot soup bowl, took a few sips, and then drank it all in one go, took a breath, and put the bowl in the bowl.
After Lin Junxuan finished drinking, the 'master' gaze slowly swept over the five people sitting cross-legged in front of him, and said solemnly: "The six of you are the last to come out of this 'test'. Among the six people, Hua Jieyu came out first, Jun Xuan, you were the latest! The earlier you come out, the sooner you will be eliminated. So, you can be proud. According to the original plan, as long as you can't stand the darkness, you can't concentrate on thinking, and your breath becomes disordered, I will find out at once. And then soon someone will open the lid and pull you out. Those who didn't survive three days were all eliminated, and they didn't even have the opportunity to meet and meet. - Jun Xuan, you've been in there for six days, I don't know what you're thinking about in it so deeply, but we can't wait for you alone. So, I can only ask them to let you out early!Jun Xuan, what do you think?"
When he clicked on his name, Lin Junxuan found that the 'master's gaze' was a little strange, it was with a feeling of appreciation, and the eyes of others looking at him also became special, some envious, some disbelieving.
"It's okay, Master!" Lin Junxuan said respectfully.
"Very well," 'Master' smiled and nodded, turning his head, 'Master' looked at the crowd, "Then it's up to you to decide when you will finally stay." Commentary, among the six people, you are the earliest, so let's start with you. β
"Yes, Master. Zuo Chuanming got up and bowed, and sat down again.
"Tell me your answer!" 'Master' lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, a look of listening.
"Master, after lying in the coffin with these skeletons for four days, the disciple suddenly felt that these dead people were pitiful. Hua Xie said.
"Oh?"
"Life is short, every man is born naked, and when he dies, he is single. It was dark and cold in the coffin, and there were maggots. The disciple thought, if I die, I should never lie alone in a coffin and be buried in the dark and cold underground. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of loneliness. Master, look at a few of us. I know me, and I know you. But deep down, we're all strangers. Each of us is lonely. Only the one who can understand oneself is oneself. The world is full of treachery and deceit, and the distance between people cannot be counted by reason. As Master said, death is like a lamp going out, and what is more tragic than death is a desolate and lonely death. Along the way with the master, the disciple has seen many old people who are gray and gray, and they will grow old together. Between them, often a glance and a small movement can make each other feel extremely warm. The disciple hopes that in this life, I can find someone who will be with me for the rest of my life. When I die, we will be buried in the same coffin, not alone, lying in a cold coffin. β
"Do you think this is the meaning of your existence?" asked Master.
"Yes, Master. Hua Xie said.
"This wish of yours is a bit special, I didn't teach the exercises originally, but--so be, I will pass on a set of exercises to you, and if you practice diligently, in the future, it will definitely help you find the person you really love among thousands of women!"
"Thank you, Master, so that the disciple is already very satisfied. Hua Xie said respectfully.
"Alright, Legend, now it's your turn. Tell me. What do you think of about death?" the master turned his head to look at Zuo Chuanming.
Zuo Chuanming straightened his thoughts, and then spoke: "Master, Chuanming feels that life is short, as Master said, all people will die, no matter whether you are an emperor or a general, or a merchant or a poor person, you will eventually be reduced to a piece of loess." The disciple felt that even if he could not escape such a fate, why did he achieve a brilliant fame and fortune before he died? Rather than die silently like this, no one knows, it is better to leave a name in the annals of history and pass it on forever. But as long as future generations mention their own names, they will have admiration, and in this way, they will not live in vain. β
Master's brows furrowed slightly: "So, what is the ultimate goal of your life?"
"Master, the disciple was born in a family of scholars and rites in the Dayu Dynasty, and in the turbulent times for three hundred years, the family was in the middle of the road, and the disciple shouldered the responsibility of revitalizing the family. Now that the Hongji Dynasty was established, it was the time to achieve fame and fortune, and the disciples hoped to become a generation of famous ministers of the Hongji Dynasty, assisting the Ming monarch, so that the world was peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, leaving a name in the annals of history. Zuo Chuanming suddenly prostrated on the ground, and said respectfully: "The disciple knows that the 'master' has great ability, and he still hopes that the master will be perfected!"
'Master' was silent and said for a while: "Although I am not interested in your so-called 'purpose in life', this is your choice, as long as you feel that your life is meaningful, then it will be fine." As for your wishes, I will fulfill you. β
"Thank you, Master. Zuo Chuan's name was overjoyed, and he kowtowed three times in a row.
"Get up. 'Master' waved his sleeves, and then looked at Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, tell me, what have you been thinking about in the past few days?"
"Master, the disciple thinks the same as the legend, the immortal and immortal 'immortal' is ethereal to the realm, if it is destined to die sooner or later, the disciple also hopes to live vigorously. Xiao Yi's goal has never changed - I want to become the leader of thousands of sects of the Daomen, and become the existence admired by all people!" Xiao Yi said excitedly: "My father has always hoped that I can become a decent celebrity, and I myself want to become the leader of the Daomen. The disciple knows that the master has great ability, and he still hopes that the master will fulfill it!"
"Hmph!" On the side, Bai Chu snorted coldly.
"Whatever your desires are, if you are sure that this is what you really want, I will fulfill you. "Master" nodded.
"Bai Chobing, tell me, what is your goal?" the master looked at Bai Chobing.
"My goal is to become the leader of the evil way, to lead the evil way and the demon way, and to become the supreme demon king. I want the people of the world to listen to my name, I want the whole world to be trampled under my feet! Everything is an ant, and I decide their life and death!"
Xiao Yi, Zuo Chuanming and the others Huo Ran changed color, and looked at Bai Chuleng with an ugly face. If Bai Choleng's will is achieved, it is obvious that these two people will be threatened.
"Xiaotian, what about you?" 'Master' asked.
Long Xiaotian glanced at the others and said coldly, "Master, it's still the same as before. I want to be the first person in the world, whether it is a Taoist sect or an evil way, as long as I have the strongest power in the world, I will never be swayed by any force. I want to be my own knife and not hold it in someone else's hand. The people in these coffins were thin and thin, and they obviously did not practice the Taoist technique. Their life and death are always in the hands of others. Xiaotian doesn't want to be such a person, no matter who is in the shackles of anyone in this world, invisible and invisible, I have to break through them with absolute strength. I will make the whole world lift their noses and stop. I want to be the most powerful man in the world! No one can ever restrain me!"
"Very good, I will fulfill your wish!" 'Master' turned his head and looked at Lin Junxuan: "Junxuan, you are the last, it's your turn." β
Zuo Chuanming, Xiao Yi, Bai Chubing, and Long Xiaotian all looked at Lin Junxuan, and their eyes were full of curiosity. Among the five, Lin Junxuan was the latest to come out. According to Master, the last to come out is the best.
Lin Junxuan ignored the eyes of the four, lowered his head to think about it, raised his head, Lin Junxuan looked at the gaze of the 'master', and said calmly: "Disciple, there is no wish. Disciple, there is only one question, I hope to get an answer from Master!"
"Oh," 'Master' raised his eyebrows, "Say it." β
After pondering for a moment, Lin Junxuan asked a question that no one expected: "Master, the disciple wants to know, is there a reincarnation in this universe?"
A simple question, so simple that you only need to answer the question of 'yes' or 'no', but it stumps 'Master'. He frowned, a thoughtful look in his eyes. After a moment, he raised his head, his lips squirmed, and he was about to say something, but he didn't seem to be very confident in the answer, and lowered his head again.
In the impression of several people, 'Master' has always been omnipotent, and it is rare to see such a hesitant look on him. For a while, several people looked at Lin Junxuan with complicated expressions. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze with a thoughtful look.
Reincarnation? Yes or no. -- It's not just a multiple-choice question.
If there is reincarnation, death cannot be called real 'death', and the 'test of death' that several people are talking about now becomes meaningless.
If there is no reincarnation......
This question is much more than just the surface, and behind every answer, there are endless questions......
Master's brow furrowed more and more, and he seemed to be caught up in this question.
For a long time, under the gaze of the five people, 'Master' raised his head, his eyebrows were still full of confusion, and he sighed, 'Master' said, "Jun Xuan, I can't answer this question. Because, even I don't know the answer to this question, and it's up to you to save the answer. This is the first time I've come across an unanswerable question, and as compensation, I'll grant you one more wish. Tell me, what is your wish?"
Hearing Master's words, several people were shocked, Bai Qibing gritted his teeth, and his heart was full of jealousy.
"No, I don't have any wishes. Lin Junxuan shook his head. It was just an accident that I met 'Master', and I was only curious about some of his abilities, words and deeds, so I got to where I am now. As for the other purpose of reaching this world, looking for the 'Taigong', Lin Junxuan felt that with his own ability, he would meet the 'Taigong' one day in the future, and there was no need to borrow it from others at all.
"No?" 'Master' frowned, even Xiao Yi and the others felt that 'Master' had lost his usual calm, and Lin Junxuan's question seemed to cause ripples in the heart of 'Master': "Is there really no powerful power?reputation?woman?power ?......"
"No, Master. Lin Junxuan interrupted the words of the 'master': "What I want, you can't satisfy. What you can satisfy, I can achieve with my own strength. β
Hua Jieyu, Long Xiaotian and the others all opened their eyes wide, no one thought that Lin Junxuan would dare to talk to the master like this. But looking at the master's appearance, he didn't seem to take it to heart.
"Well, if you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. As I said, I would grant you both wishes, and tell me when you think of them in the future. "'Master' sighed and said. After saying this, he seemed to be much more relaxed and returned to his original self.
"When I brought you here, I said I would grant you a wish. But the premise is that you are my disciples. Now, you have all passed my test and are considered my official disciples. β
"Master!" Xiao Yi was well-behaved, and his mind moved, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times. Long Xiaotian and the others reacted a little slower and knelt down.
"The six of you have now become my disciples, and you will be brothers in the future, I want you to remember this. I'm not like everyone else. I don't teach you martial arts, I only give you 'thoughts'. In the same way, I will not give you any rules. Whether you fight with your fellow disciples or brothers, or fight among yourself, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me. I want you to remember that you have chosen your own path. You have to bear all the consequences, and I will not help you. β
"Yes, Master, we understand. "Everyone.
"You have passed the test of 'death'. Next, it is the test of 'life', but this time, it is no longer me who asks the question. As I have said before, as long as you are alive, you will have to face the test of 'life'. I will show you a shortcut, but don't expect me to help you reach the sky. By becoming my 'disciple', you will take fewer detours than others, but it is not that you do not have to walk. β
"Before you leave, I will give you a word each. Remember, it will be good for you in the future. "Master" looked at the six people and said slowly: "Hua Jieyu, this is 'Non-Flower and Non-Dream Formula', and I will pass it on to you now." When the words fell, everyone saw 'Master's lips squirming, and Hua Jieyu looked surprised and nodded, knowing that he had been mentioned by Master.
"Spread the name, I don't pass on your martial arts. If you want to leave a name in history, you must first have a wealth of knowledge, I will find a teacher for you, you learn from you, and you will be able to fulfill your wishes. "A moment later, 'Master' said to Zuo.
"Thank you, Master. Zuo Chuanming was overjoyed and said that he seemed to be very satisfied with the arrangement of the 'master'.
"Xiao Yi, you are from the Xuanshan sect, and you are also very familiar with the various sects in the cultivation world, tell me, whose disciple do you want to be?"
"Master, the disciple hopes to become the head disciple of the 'Heaven Viewing Sect'. Xiao Yi bowed his head.
"Hehe, the head disciple, that is the head of the queen. This 'Heavenly Meditation School' is the largest sect in the monastic world, but it is not the only one. If you want to become a leader of the Dao, you have to work hard. In this way, I will let you become the disciple of the first master of the 'Heaven Viewing Sect', and you will follow him for five years, and after five years, you will have the opportunity to become a closed disciple of the head of the Heaven Viewing Sect. β
"Thank you, Master. Xiao Yixi couldn't help but say.
"Xiao Tian, the first person in the cultivation world, has never been from any cultivation sect. You like to exert yourself, I will create an opportunity for you, when you meet that person, don't say much, worship him as a teacher. You only need to follow him for three days, and he will accept him as a disciple. With your qualifications, in the future, you will be the number one master in the world. "Speaking of which, the 'Master' glanced over Lin Junxuan inadvertently, and the other five people didn't notice it except for Bai Choleng.
"Thank you, Master. Long Xiaotian said respectfully.
"Chop the ice, you have chosen to become a 'demon', this is your own choice, I hope you understand the results you may face in the end! If you are hunted down and killed by the world in the future, this evil result can only be swallowed by yourself. β
"I understand. Bai Slash said coldly.
"Very well, I've arranged it for you. You will become the first person to close the door of the evil path! Remember what you said at this moment, and never regret it. Because it's your choice. "'Master' has a deep meaning.
"Jun Xuan, for you, it's still the same sentence. I'll grant you both wishes, you really ...... Don't you have any wishes?" 'Master' asked.
Lin Junxuan shook his head.
'Master' reluctantly withdrew his gaze: "Okay, before you leave, I will send you a sentence each." "As she spoke, her lips squirmed, and those who listened nodded thoughtfully, but others could not hear them, and no one knew what the 'Master' said to the others at the time of parting.
When the 'master' transmitted, Lin Junxuan felt the name of the left, and Xiao Yi glanced at himself.
"Alright, let's all go. "'Master' said, his face was serious, and with a wave of his big hand, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and the figures of Bai Qibing, Long Xiaotian, Xiao Yi and others quickly became blurred, and the void disappeared strangely.
After the five of them disappeared, Lin Junxuan found that he was still here.
"Jun Xuan, tell me, after leaving here, where do you want to go, or which sect you want to enter, I can fulfill you. "After everyone else disappeared, 'Master' finally turned his face and said to Lin Junxuan.
"Is this also a wish?" Lin Junxuan said with a smile, and 'Master' was silent when he heard this.
"Hehe," Lin Junxuan smiled, and didn't want to embarrass the old man, so he said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to grant me two wishes? Then my first wish is to know your name." You can't call 'Master' for a long time, and you don't even know your name. β
'Master' looked a little embarrassed: "My name is absolutely impossible to tell you. Anyway, you're a little special, so I'll give you some hints to see if you can guess my name. β
Shuangba, 'Master' made a seal with both hands, hooked into a circle, one index finger pointing to the sky, and the other hand pointing to the ground: "Remember this gesture, my name is in it, as for whether you can guess it, it depends on your surname." Okay, now tell me, where do you want to go? I can help you, count it as a wish. β
Lin Junxuan was silent, and the figure of the old housekeeper of the Ziyi Hou Mansion in Lin'an City suddenly crossed in his mind, and he vaguely remembered that the old housekeeper was from the 'Fang Cun Sect'.
"Send me to the 'Fang Cun Sect', I hope to join the 'Fang Cun Sect'!" Lin Junxuan said.
'Master' nodded and smiled, a little relieved: "Okay, before you leave, I will also send you a word." β
After a pause, the master said, "'Think twice, don't look back', this sentence is the last thing I can give you before parting!" Lin Junxuan only felt that countless scenes on both sides turned into streamers and passed behind him, and his body suddenly shook, as if he had hit something. He hadn't eaten for a few days, relying on the effect of the 'Star Receiving Qi Technique', but his weakness couldn't be avoided. After hitting it again, it was dark in front of him, and he passed out......
