. The master loves to eat and is good at eating, as long as he is present, ordering this kind of thing, of course, it is not the turn of others, the so-called hot and cold meat and vegetables, the monarch and the minister, the match is extremely refreshing, just looking at the menu is enough to make people drool. [Just read the novel~]

Those dishes looked simple, but the ingredients were actually very exquisite, and they needed to be freshly cooked, and there was still some time before they were served, and the master had already made arrangements, and a basin of chilled taro paste was placed on the table.

"The pursuit of dessert is sweet, what I despise the most is those foodies who require desserts to be light, if you want to be light, you can drink water, what sweets to eat?"

The master gave Sang Sang a bowl of chilled sweet taro paste, motioned her to eat more, and then filled a bowl for himself, looked at Ning Que and said, "It's fun to fight with the sky, but why fight with the sky?"

Ning Que was serving sweet taro paste to himself, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, thinking that one moment he was still talking about the knowledge of ordering food and the truth of food, and the next moment he turned to such a magnificent topic as Tiandou, which was too sudden.

The master said, "In the Rotten Ke Temple, the little monk of Qishan didn't tell you about these things?"

Ning Que remembered the conversation between Master Qishan and himself in front of the Autumn Rain Buddha Hall.

In that conversation, Master Qishan mentioned the legends of the five realms and above, and mentioned the most pinnacle realms in the world, such as the immortality of the Demon Sect, the Nirvana of Buddhism, the feathering of the Daomen, and the transcendence of the Academy.

At that time, Master Qishan said that in tens of thousands of years, there will always be people who can reach the end of the long road of cultivation, or reach the other side, or be immortal, and at that time, they will return to the embrace of Haotian.

Ning Que was most concerned about whether returning to Haotian's embrace meant death or eternal life, Master Qishan couldn't answer this question, in the past countless years, the Buddhas who had gone that far and those Daomen predecessors who had turned into immortals couldn't answer either, and this was the biggest temptation and the greatest fear of cultivation.

At the end of that conversation, Ning Que asked if there were any cultivators who had gone that far. It is still possible not to ascend to heaven. Master Qishan's answer is that no one can escape the cycle of heavenly principles.

The Buddha hall in the autumn rain was very bleak that day, and the sky in the autumn rain was very desolate. Ning Que felt that his body was very cold, because he found out again that the Heavenly Dao was indeed very ruthless.

......

......

Master Qishan has passed away. [Just read the novel~] Even if he has some ideas now, it is impossible to tell Ning Que again, Ning Que recalled that conversation, vaguely guessed what the master wanted to say, and his body was a little stiff.

The restaurant was noisy, but upstairs was discussing things in the world, and this strong contrast made him feel strange and absurd, until he was a little at a loss.

The Master said, "Why fight with the heavens? First of all, we need to know what the heavens are. ”

Ning Que remembered that he was in the mountain behind the academy. After reading the scroll of the Book of Heaven, the conversation with the teacher under the starry night, at the end of that conversation. The master pointed to the night dome and said four paragraphs.

"Haotian has no life. We don't know if there is a specific form. We don't know, where Haotian is, we still don't know, but whether he is conscious or not, junior brother, he once again confirmed at the cost of death. ”

"If there really is a Heavenly Dao, it overlooks the world, and those people on the earth who are struggling to survive, even those cultivators who seem to be able to call the wind and rain, can only be ants-like beings. ”

"If there really is a heavenly way, it will not show the slightest pity and attention to the ants at all, and when a few of those ants suddenly raise their heads to look at it, and even begin to grow wings as thin as feathers and fly into the sky, trying to challenge it, how can its consciousness and will allow such a thing to happen?"

"If there is really a Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao is invisible and even more ruthless. ”

......

......

These four passages are Ning Que's initial cognition of Haotian or the so-called Heavenly Dao.

Now that he has been fleeing with Sangsang for a long time, he has seen the gathering of crows, half a day of light and half a day of darkness, and he has seen the golden dragon probing his head, and the god of light is about to come to the world, and then the four passages that the master once said corroborate each other, and his understanding of the way of heaven has naturally become deeper, but the fear in his heart has also deepened.

Ning Que looked at the clear blue and cloudless sky outside the window of the restaurant and was silent.

The master took the spoon, slowly spooned the taro paste to his lips, leaned against the railing, and looked quite relaxed, and then he pointed to the sky outside the window with the spoon, and said, "Haotian is not the sky. []”

Ning Que said, "What is Haotian?"

......

......

Heaven is a very special word, which appears a lot in human language, and often represents extremely strong feelings, which are either fear or awe, or anger.

For example, the sky has eyes, the sky has tears, and if the sky has love, the sky is old, and there are also titles such as thief, god, god, etc., and even the most commonly used interjections are related to this: Oh my God!

Heaven represents supremacy, omnipresentness, irresistibility, benevolence, indifference, and all.

"The way of heaven is the rule. The closest straight line between two points, the triangle is more stable than the four corners, the light runs the fastest, the water always flows downward, and air is needed for combustion. ”

The master ate the taro paste and talked casually, and then he threw the spoon in his hand down from the window, and a moment later there was a cry of pain from the street, and it was supposed that a pedestrian had been hit in the head.

"Like water, everything has to fall down, that's the rule. ”

There was a sound of quarrel from below the restaurant, probably the pedestrian who was hit in the head by the spoon, and wanted to enter the restaurant to find the perpetrator, but the master didn't have such a thing, and looked at Ning Que and continued: "When the water collects into the lowest sea, it will not flow down again, and the spoon will fall to the ground...... Or the pedestrian's head will not continue to fall, which does not mean that the rules are broken, but that another rule is starting to come into play. ”

"What would it be like if there were no external forces, no other rules? The spoon would keep falling further down, all the way to the abyss, maybe it would be able to appear at the table of Hades, of course, I am now more and more sure that without the underworld, there would be no Hades. ”

The master put the empty bowl on the table and pushed it in front of Sangsang, who took the bowl and continued to serve the taro paste.

The master pointed to the bowl in Sangsang's hand and said, "If this table is big and smooth enough, if the bottom of the bowl is smooth enough, if there is no little girl named Sangsang in the world who will pick up this bowl." So what's going to happen? Like that spoon that keeps falling. The bowl also keeps sliding forward. ”

Ning Que scratched his head and said, "Isn't this inertia?"

"Inertia" is a good word, but I'm used to calling it the natural tendency of things or rules to survive. ”

The Master said, "This is what I have lived as I lived. ”

"Life?" Ning Que didn't understand at all. Puzzled repeatedly: "Inertia is life?"

The Master said, "When people are alive, they can walk, they can jump, they can think, they can eat, they can blink, they can, and when they die, they become rotting corpses and bones. And none of these things can be done, the shape, composition, and character are completely changed. ”

"We live to ensure that we can continue to walk, to jump, to think, to eat, to blink, to, to look like a human, that is, to ensure that the shape and composition of the character can survive. ”

"This existence is life. ”

Ning Que was very puzzled and said, "But animals can also walk, jump, eat, blink, and." ”

The Master said, "But they can't think. ”

Ning Que said: "The big scalper and the little uncle's donkey must be able to think. ”

The Master said, "But they don't look like people. ”

Ning Que said, "What if we can turn them into humans?"

The Master said, "If you have such abilities, then they are human beings. ”

Ning Que shook his head again and again and said, "How does this make sense?"

The Master said, "How does this not make sense?"

Ning Que was stunned, and then finally figured it out. One looks exactly like a human. A life that can walk, jump, eat, blink,, and think, isn't that human?

"Everybody wants to be alive, they want to be in their shape and within themselves. That's life. Look at it more broadly. Human society also wants to maintain its own shape and inner existence. For example, words, such as calligraphy and painting, such as organization, so this is also a kind of life. ”

The Master said, "The stone also has life, and it wants to keep its own shape, and its means are hard, and if you want to destroy its life, you need to overcome its hardness." Water also has life, whether it is clear or turbid, or the ocean or the stream is silent, if you want to change its shape and character, and destroy its life, you need to boil it and dry it. ”

"Life is a continuation of its own form. Since the Heavenly Dao is the rules themselves, if it also has life, its life is to ensure that these rules are always valid and not broken. ”

Ning Que didn't know what to say at all at this time, but fortunately, the dishes came at this time.

The three of them ate eighteen dishes, a very hearty meal.

The master kept giving Sangsang vegetables, and then kept introducing and persuading: "You have to try this dish, this poor child, I haven't had a good life with Ning Que all these years, you must know how many delicious things and how many fun things there are in the world, you can follow me to enjoy happiness these days." ”

Only to eat roast lamb shank, and taste Song national cuisine, Ning Que and Sang Sang are a little bad, but fortunately, the master is really worthy of the name of a thousand-year-old foodie, and he swept away the eighteen dishes.

The master took a cup of double sprouts to clear his stomach, and he enjoyed it very much.

Ning Que burped, thinking about what the master said before, his mood was as heavy as his stomach, and he rubbed his somewhat numb face, ready to ask for clarification.

The master put down the teacup and said, "Haotian has two sides, one is the objectivity of the rules, and the other is that if it maintains the objectivity of the rules, it will present the life of a living being. ”

Ning Que asked, "So?"

The Master pointed to the table with cups and plates and said, "Man lives to eat, and he lives to eat." ”

Ning Que looked at the soup dripping plate, and suddenly felt very frightened and disgusting.
