Chapter 115: Leaves and People

"Another thing?"

Jiang Guining's face was full of surprise, this time it was not he who pretended, but things were indeed a little unexpected to him.

Because just based on the things that Lu Yangsheng said just now, it seems that he is just talking about his experience when he was a child, as if he was just chatting with Jiang Guining, but don't forget, Lu Yangsheng is now a cultivator, so the kind of thing that seems to be just a small talk just now actually implies Lu Yangsheng's previous understanding of life and death.

In other words, Lu Yangsheng was actually inadvertently showing Jiang Guining the "Dao" that he had realized from the past twelve years. And here, in fact, some of the fur of the avenue of life and death has already been involved.

Don't look at Lu Yangsheng's enlightenment is just the surface, but you must know that it is one of the best avenues among the forty-nine innate avenues, with his current age, it is already very rare to be able to realize these, to be honest, even the top geniuses in some major sects may not be able to do it, but he has done it, how can this not be surprising?

But listening to Lu Yangsheng's meaning, the avenue he realized was more than that, which made Jiang Guining a little unbelievable.

Looking at Jiang Guining's surprised expression, Lu Yangsheng said with certainty.

"Yes, another thing."

Jiang Guining put away the surprise on his face as quickly as he could, and said to Lu Yangsheng.

"Think about it...... Is it because of Li Aniu's death, what reminds you of again? ”

Lu Yangsheng looked at Jiang Guining and nodded and said.

"It's really related to Li Aniu, but there are some reasons, it's because of you."

"Me?"

Jiang Gui pointed at himself, a little incredulous.

Lu Yangsheng said softly.

"Although I was drunk that night, I actually listened to what the Taoist chief said."

Jiang Guining asked curiously.

"So what?"

Lu Yangsheng stood up and looked at the deep mountains in the distance and said.

"Dao Chief, let me have a heartfelt word with you. In fact, for the deaths of Li Aniu and Liu Mazi, I don't think I did anything wrong. For they did not die at my hands, but by the rules. It's like after my dad left, those people used the rules to come to my house to eat. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yangsheng looked at Jiang Guining again. An autumn wind suddenly blew through and ruffled his unkempt hair.

"Dao Chief, I haven't been outside, so I don't know much about the outside world, but I believe that even though this is outside the town, I still haven't done anything wrong."

Jiang Guining nodded and said.

"If you don't think about anything else, there's really nothing wrong with you. So Xiaodao is even more curious, since you don't think you're wrong, then why were you so sad that day, and you almost broke down in the end? ”

Lu Yangsheng sighed and said.

"Because Li Aniu is his father. Dao Chief, you are an outsider, so you were not present when Li Aniu died that day. Although I haven't seen the final fate of Li Aniu's family, I can guess that once Li Aniu is really dead, the last person to die may not be just Li Aniu, but ...... It's their whole family. ”

The reason why he is so sure is because when Lu Yangsheng came back that day, he had already seen death in the eyes of Li Aniu and his father. Lu Yangsheng's senses have always been keen, so he knows that he can't feel wrong.

Li Aniu's father must have been ready to die with Li Aniu at that time. He is like this, so Li Aniu should be the same.

Jiang Guining said indifferently.

"It's normal, the old couple is just such a son, and it's hard to pull so big, but they are going to die, it's normal for them to think about it...... Oh, I see, you're blaming yourself for their deaths, aren't you? Or do you see the shadow of your father and mother from them, living with yourself? ”

Jiang Guining's last sentence made Lu Yangsheng silent, and he said it after a long time.

"Both. Even though I saw the shadow of my father and mother in them, I thought they died because of me. ”

Jiang Guining suddenly realized.

"That's why you cried so sadly that day when you were in front of your father's grave. It turns out that they remind you of your own parents. But looking at your current appearance, you should have figured out the problem here, right? ”

Lu Yangsheng did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically.

"Dao Chief, I remember that you told me a lot of things that night, and one of them said that in the outside world, immortals are high above, and they regard mortals as ants and human lives as grass mustard, and they are not valuable. Right? ”

Jiang Guining took a sip of wine, glanced at Lu Yangsheng and said.

"Why, you listened to the persuasion of the gossip and think it's right? So you also think that the death of Li Aniu's father and mother has nothing to do with you, right? ”

Surprisingly, Lu Yangsheng not only shook his head, but also said to Jiang Guining with a serious face.

"Dao Chief, the night before yesterday, I thought it was wrong, and today, I still think it's wrong."

Jiang Guining was already a little impatient at this time, and he said with a frown.

"And what exactly are you trying to say?"

Lu Yangsheng looked at the small tree not far away and said.

"When I came out to cook this morning, I don't know why, I was a little distracted. In a daze, I seemed to see the leaves of this little tree change from yellow leaves to shoots, and then from shoots to yellow leaves, and so on, as if there was no end. ”

"In these reincarnations, I saw something interesting."

At this time, when Lu Yangsheng was speaking, there was another autumn wind spinning around him, and the little snake coiled on his feet had also come down from his ankle at this time, it was coiled to the side, and a pair of small eyes stared at Lu Yangsheng.

And Jiang Guining's expression at this time finally became serious, because he knew that Lu Yangsheng had said so many things to foreshadow, and now he was finally going to start preaching his own way.

Lu Yangsheng didn't notice these changes around him, and still said to himself.

"The leaves of the tree go from germination to yellowing and finally fall from the tree, although this is a lifetime that most leaves will complete, but there will be some leaves that will be very different."

"It's like some leaves that have already begun to wither when they are still buds. Some of the shoots have grown into leaves, but they will wither before they survive until autumn. Some branches have been eaten by insects, causing all the leaves on the top to wither, and some leaves have been forced to fall from the trees when they are still green due to strong winds. In addition to this, there are many, many more, and there will always be some leaves that have fallen from the trees before they reach autumn. ”

He asked Jiang Guining softly.

"Dao Chief, don't you think this is very much like the life we have to go through as human beings?"

There was no need for Jiang Guining to answer, Lu Yangsheng continued.

"The shoots symbolize the baby, the fallen leaves are seen as death, and the branches ...... It's parents. As for cultivators, can I see them as beasts other than leaves or wind? ”

Hearing such an interesting metaphor for the first time, Jiang Guining was also a little stunned, and he said to himself.

"Interesting, really interesting. If you think about it, it really makes sense. ”

After getting Jiang Guining's affirmation, Lu Yangsheng smiled even more happily, he said.

"So I was thinking, if my idea is correct, then what are Li Aniu and Liu Mazi? And why did the two of them become like this? ”

Jiang Guining asked Lu Yangsheng.

"Looking at the way you look, you should have figured it out, right?"

Lu Yangsheng nodded and said.

"Leaves will grow insects, and once a leaf has insects, if it can't be cleaned up in time, then all the leaves that are close to him will suffer, and Li Aniu and Liu Mazi are leaves that have been insected. Ninth Master, it's because of them that they ......"

Listening to Lu Yangsheng's determined tone, Jiang Guining suddenly asked.

"So what do you think you are? And what determines their life and death? ”

Lu Yangsheng replied without thinking.

"I'm just an ordinary leaf, and Li Aniu's death, although there are my reasons, but more because once the leaf has a problem, the big tree will clean it up by itself, I just made the process a little faster."

Jiang Guining asked again.

"So you think you're right now, that's why you're so happy?"

Surprisingly again, Lu Yangsheng did not nod.

"I have never felt that I am innocent, because since I had murderous intentions against Li Aniu and them, I knew that I was doing something wrong, not to mention that it is possible to involve Li Aniu and his father and mother now, so I am naturally even more wrong."

"But Daoist, I don't know how to tell you these things, but what I want to tell you is that although I think I am wrong, I am not all wrong."

Speaking of this, Lu Yangsheng may feel that he is talking nonsense, but with his current understanding, there is no way to fully express the knowledge he knows, so anxious that he is sweating profusely, and he still doesn't know what to say to make Jiang Guining understand his thoughts.

At this moment, Lu Yangsheng suddenly saw a yellow leaf falling under his feet, he suddenly felt that his eyes were bright, and he picked up the leaf on the ground and said to Jiang Guining.

"Chief, look."

As Lu Yangsheng spoke, he began to play with the leaves a few times, and after a while, Lu Yangsheng was sweating profusely, as if he was very struggling, but something magical also happened. A withered yellow leaf turned into an emerald green color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was only at this time that Lu Yangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Jiang Guining.

"I don't know what to say, so I can only let you see it. Now my eyes can see something different, they are scattered between the heavens and the earth, like thin lines, and if I can move them, I can control them to change. My heart tells me that some of them represent life and some represent death. ”

When Lu Yangsheng said this, he looked into his eyes and said word by word.

"Don't you believe it, I can see countless dead lines from Li Aniu in the past, but they have nothing to do with me."

This also means that Li Aniu's death is not directly related to Lu Yangsheng.
