Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Story of Fate in the Lake of Tranquility

Pine Cone was shocked to stay in the cliff hut.

At first, she thought it should be dim inside, after all, on the cliff outside the house, the light was cold, and only when some droplets of water fell down, it would become brighter, like a flash of fate.

It was only when she walked in that she realized that she had thought wrong.

One day in the room, the starlight was falling, cold but not dim, the kind of light that was not scorching, sparsely falling to the ground through the small window on the wall.

Songguo subconsciously wanted to see what Lu Xiaosan's reaction was, but unfortunately when he turned around, he remembered that the little boy ran to find the senior sister of the fairy in the middle of the month.

The little girl Songguo brought a small stool, and sat there holding her cheeks and looking at the starry stream outside the wall.

The pine cone felt like it was living in a pine cone floating on the water.

The water is by the window, and everything is slowly flowing into the distance.

Just like the legend of Zhuangsheng Island, which was prevalent in Huai'an.

Songguo looked at the water that carried the ghostly light rippling under the window lattice, and thought that if anyone had seen some scenery in this way, probably after the direction of those East China Sea streams, I believed that the return of the world was in the far east.

Songguo was stunned for a long time, and she didn't even notice when Lu Xiaosan came back from the top of the White Moon Mirror.

The little boy held his sword and sat down at the door, not looking at the starlight outside, but looking at the thousands of drops on the cliff opposite.

It took a long time for Songguo to turn around, and then he found that Lu Xiaosan seemed to have been sitting on the stone ridge at the door for a long time.

"When did you come back?"

Pine Cone was a little curious.

Lu Xiaosan sighed and said, "It's been a long time since you came back, and you've been looking outside in a daze." ”

"Well, why is there ash on your mouth?"

The little boy quickly raised his hand and wiped his mouth.

"Oh, nothing, the road was slippery in the dark, and I fell."

Songguo looked at Lu Xiaosan suspiciously, and then walked to the door to look at the light outside, although the light between those cliffs was cold, but it was not impossible to see the road clearly.

"You're not going to sneak a bite, are you?"

Lu Xiaosan jumped up and said conclusively: "I didn't!" ”

Naturally, the pine cone didn't believe it, but he didn't ask if it was a dense rustle.

After all, if it was delicious, Lu Xiaosan would have already cheered.

"By the way, have you seen that senior sister sitting in the moon?"

After Lu Xiaosan heard this, he became even more melancholy.

"I also wanted to find such a senior sister sitting in the moon, but I only saw a little Taoist boy sitting there in a daze."

Lu Xiaosan couldn't help but think that if he hadn't climbed up, that picture would definitely become a very good memory.

It's like the moon in a dream.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

There were many beautiful imaginations in front of the little boy, but unfortunately he didn't cherish them, and he didn't regret them until he lost them.

If Lu Xiaosan is given another chance, he will not gnaw on the sand and gravel on the ground if he is killed.

Of course, the idea of eating hot pot will not be spoken.

Lu Xiaosan sat for a while, then looked back at the pine cone.

"By the way, is that old boy from Le Chaotian back?"

Songuo shook his head.

He followed the Taoist all the way down.

The two of them walked out of the hut, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, the cliff was not high between each floor, about two or three zhang, but there were a lot of them, as if they had been chiseled out layer by layer.

The trajectories of countless fates crossed the slender rays of light, falling down like falling on the world, and then collected by those Taoists to explain with some inexplicable truth.

The sound of dripping water below was very long and thin, and the cliffs below the sea surface began to seep water, but not dripping, but hanging down like a curtain of drizzle.

The Daoists carefully protected the Dao scroll in their arms, and walked underneath until they went to the depths.

Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go down below and see what Uncle Shi is doing?" ”

Songguo hesitated for a moment, looked back at the starlight outside, and turned back again, this time he didn't refuse, and followed the little boy towards the bottom.

......

The Taoists walked quietly through those paths, spiraling all the way down, and there was an extremely wide platform, and there was a large lake in the platform that exuded a faint and clear light like glass, which was the place where all the dripping water finally converged.

When the lake overflows, it will flood the platform, and the water will pour out in all directions, and then turn into countless trickles at the cliff wall inside the mirror and return to the East China Sea.

There are countless mirrors hanging in the glow of the lake.

Just like the side that the divination operator has always carried with him in the world.

Le Chaotian slowly walked up to the big platform and stopped at the edge of the big lake, today is about the day of the water drain, so those lakes flooded the platform, and it didn't reach Le Chaotian's ankles.

This young Taoist looked at it for a long time, then reached out and took a mirror, and said with a soft smile: "I thought you were just a person who didn't use an umbrella, but it turns out that you didn't even bother to build a bridge." ”

Not far from Le Chaotian, there was also a Taoist, Xie Chaoyu, whose sideburns were gradually growing gray hair, and his hands and feet were gradually no longer warm, sat there quietly, sitting in the middle of the big lake.

When the Taoist opened his eyes, a lake of water trembled slightly in the dark light, as if it was evolving something, as if it was just some kind of illusion.

Le Chaotian also lowered his head, quietly looking at the rippling water waves, this Taoist gradually circulated around the mountain and sea Taoism, and those Taoism slowly evolved, but it was like a hexagram, spreading out around itself, and then falling towards the lake.

All the waves dissipated.

Le Chaotian quietly looked at the lake water that soaked his shoes.

"It turns out that this is also a mirror."

The young Taoist looked up at Xie Chaoyu not far away.

"Twelve stacks counts thirteen stacks. Senior brother, it seems that your direction is indeed right. ”

Xie Chaoyu raised his head, looked at the Taoist standing by the lake and asked, "When did you enter the Thirteen Stacks?" ”

Le Chaotian smiled.

"Not long ago, when I was watching the mountains and seas."

Xie Chaoyu looked at his junior brother for a long time.

Both of them came out of the Qingtian Dao back then.

So many things, naturally, are much the same.

For example, the matter of heaven and earth to see fate.

As soon as the lake was flat, the two brothers looked at each other for a long time.

After a long time, Le Chaotian smiled slightly.

"But in terms of fate, naturally the senior brother is superior."

On the mirror that was held in Le Chaotian's hand, some chaotic points of light gradually emerged, and the points of light were entangled and changing, until they became a frozen picture.

Le Chaotian was sitting by the clear stream somewhere, stroking the piano in the river, maybe he was singing some tune.

A stream of red.

This young Taoist just looked at the picture of the mirror in his hand and smiled indifferently.

"I'm not surprised."

Le Chaotian put the mirror in his hand that had returned to chaos and silence back into the air, and looked down at himself in the overflowing waters of the big lake.

"To live is to die. Moreover, heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me. ”

Le Chaotian smiled slightly.

"It's for all things, it's for the truth."

Xie Chaoyu looked at Le Chaotian quietly for a long time, and then said softly: "Why do you have to do this? ”

Le Chaotian raised his head, crossed the thousands of streamers and dripped out, and looked at the distant place where the light of the sky fell.

"I took a lot of things away, but I also left some things behind. For example, I am passionate about hot things like hot pot, and I am also passionate about disturbing utensils like sound. ”

"If we cut off everything, treat all things as grass and mustard, and hold the so-called saints who are not benevolent to view heaven and earth, then what is the meaning of the existence of the world? Of course, people can be stones, but if people are just stones, even if you really know fate, know that all things have always returned, and know that heaven and earth have fallen, then what is the meaning of such a thing? ”

Le Chaotian lowered his head and said softly: "Absolute reason, maybe divinity, maybe nature, but not human nature. ”

Xie Chaoyu sat in the middle of the big lake and said calmly: "So what is the junior brother doing here?" ”

Le Chaotian smiled and said: "Senior brother brought the great priest back to the missing door, such a thing, naturally, it is impossible to hide it from many people, of course, senior brother may not hide it, and I may not want to do anything, but I am really curious - just like I said, I know everything, what should I do?" ”

Xie Chaoyu said lightly: "Knowing the meaning of everything stops at understanding." Meaning comes from the addition of the world, from the world's desire to recognize the embodiment of value. For example, understanding how a mountain stone is, where it comes from, and how it will change is a meaning in itself. ”

Le Chaotian stood silent.

Xie Chaoyu continued: "Guanzong doesn't want it, you can give it to the missing one. Only when the two phases are confirmed can we know what is right and what is wrong. ”

Le Chaotian said calmly: "I asked Senior Qinglian. The view of mountains and rivers is right, and the shadow of the world is also right. ”

Xie Chaoyu looked at this Taoist deeply and said slowly: "So you actually still want to do something." ”

Le Chaotian looked down at a lake of flowing water, and said slowly: "After Emperor Huai's death, no one can mention the truth about the breaking of the underworld back then. ”

"Because the truth is the weapon used to open the River Styx."

"Senior brother is three feet away from fate, it is naturally enough, maybe for senior brother, knowing what is the stone of the mountain is the greatest significance."

"But if you know what a stone is, you can kill people with it, and if you know what fire is, you can use it to burn down a house."

"Half-knowing is the reason that the world should have."

"Human nature cannot be closed to human nature, if restraint can become a truth, then the law of the world is meaningless, and abandoning the road and walking the small road is the supreme human and holy of the saints."

Le Chaotian stopped, looked at Xie Chaoyu, who had been silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If Senior Brother doesn't believe it, then let's make a bet on whether the Dao boy who is acting on behalf of the priest will have selfish desires in the future." ”

Xie Chaoyu said calmly: "I don't bet with you, I naturally can't win such a thing." ”

Even if this Taoist said conclusively with Wang Xiaohua at the beginning, life and death should be absolutely neutral.

But he still wouldn't gamble on anything like that.

Maybe it's just like what Cong Blade said at the beginning.

You and I are nothing more than human dreams.

It's just that even if the real person is not me.

"Why not give it a try?"

Xie Chaoyu looked at Le Chaotian quietly and said.

Le Chaotian looked at the Taoist in front of him for a long time, and then said slowly: "If there is a day......

"I'll ask my brother to die."

Xie Chaoyu smiled slightly.

"There are no regrets about dying."

Of course, the junior brother will think about killing the senior brother.

What Le Chaotian and the boy under the umbrella discussed in the small building naturally had his meaning.

Speaking of rational people.

Often the most obsessed and unrepentant.

Le Chaotian turned around and walked out of the platform.

Xie Chaoyu whispered behind him: "It's rare to come here, eat a hot pot and then leave?" ”

Le Chaotian stopped.

Xie Chaoyu slowly added: "Cabbage vermicelli hot pot." ”

In a small building in Lingnan.

The junior brother who can't eat spicy food once talked about the cabbage vermicelli hot pot countless times.

Even though they only ate that meal in the end, the hot pot that followed became hearty.

But perhaps for this Taoist, the best hot pot in his heart is still the hot pot hidden in the wind and snow many years ago.

It was one winter in Qingtian Dao.

Heavy snow blocked the mountain road, so the brothers and sisters nested in the Taoist temple and ate simple vermicelli and blanched cabbage.

At that time, the white wind and rain had not yet set off the wind and rain in the world, Le Chaotian began to practice, Xie Chaoyu had already heard the wind, and the white jade ballad was still seen in the mountains.

Le Chaotian stood there for a long time, and suddenly remembered that the hot pot he had eaten with another senior brother was also slowly moving away.

So just like after eating that day, Le Chaotian played the sword downstairs and sang.

When all the stories come to the end, it is probably - if you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, and the youth will travel.

Therefore, the still young Daoist smiled softly, turned around and said, "Then, senior brother, see you tomorrow." ”

......

Lu Xiaosan and Songguo were stopped on the cliff paths below.

The deceitful teacher destroyed the ancestor Ye and stood there.

"Senior brother, I've been waiting here for several springs and autumns."

Lu Xiaosan was silent.

Did you really know a few years ago that I would be walking from here today to find my uncle?

"What is Senior Brother waiting for me here?"

In fact, according to the real generation, Lu Xiaosan naturally would not call Senior Brother Ye Zhuliu, after all, he is a later generation.

It's just that because of a certain Taoist's sudden whim, he ran to be the junior brother of the young man under the umbrella.

As a result, the generations in the world are chaotic and chaotic.

It's just that Lu Xiaosan didn't know that in this lack of a door, the same generation was a little messy.

Ye Zhuliu said: "Because you can't go down there, it's a matter of missing a secret place." ”

Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said seriously: "Could it be that you have found something good and plan to hide it and twist it?" ”

Ye Zhuliu smiled and said, "Naturally not. Dao Sheng's life, can be left to the world cleanly, without a door naturally will not do such a thing, but there are some things, I have not yet understood what it is, naturally it is not easy for the world to see. ”

Lu Xiaosan said seriously: "I'm very smart, if you let me go in and have a look, maybe I'll help you figure it out?" ”

Ye Zhuliu chuckled softly: "I think your senior brother is a little smarter." ”

The little boy was stunned for a moment, looked at the Taoist in front of him and said with some surprise: "Have you seen my senior brother?" ”

"Seen? When I was over there. ”

At that time, the Taoist was fishing.

Lu Xiaoer was also fishing.

Lu Xiaosan said in surprise: "Then is my senior brother getting uglier?" ”

Sleeping in the open will probably make people a little haggard.

Ye Zhuliu was also stunned for a long time, and after a long time, this Taoist looked at the little boy and smiled: "He should still be as good-looking as ever." ”

Lu Xiaosan sighed.

"It seems that you have really met my senior brother."

After all, that little boy is really good-looking.

Lu Xiaosan thought about it again, looked at Ye Zhuliu and asked, "So when will my senior uncle come up?" Will he secretly eat hot pot with his senior brother below and not call us? ”

Ye Zhuliu looked at Lu Xiaosan in shock.

So in the world of young people, as long as Uncle Shi is gone, he will secretly eat delicious food with others?

Fortunately, such a question does not need to be answered by Ye Zhuliu.

Le Chaotian was walking through some water curtains on those cliff paths.

"When did I eat hot pot without calling you?"

Lu Xiaosan was stunned for a moment, looked at Le Chaotian and said confidently: "You didn't call me anymore, how do I know?" ”

One sentence made the other three people dumbfounded.

Innocence is, of course, the hardest thing to prove.

It's impossible to open your stomach and say, look, there are only these hot pots in it.

Le Chaotian walked over silently, patted the little boy's shoulder helplessly, and said, "Let's go." ”

Lu Xiaosan and Songguo were stunned.

"Are you leaving?"

"Of course I'll leave tomorrow, but do you stay here and embarrass others?"

Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said, "Yes, after all, he is also a little sword immortal in the world, and he can't bully others." ”

“......”

The three of them then turned and walked upwards through the cold light in the sound of dripping water.

The pine cone has not yet walked, so it has been looking around.

Lu Xiaosan looked at Le Chaotian a little strangely, tilting his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the three of them walked to the edge of the cliff where they rested that the little boy said slowly: "Uncle Shi and Senior Brother quarreled? ”

Le Chaotian raised his eyebrows and looked at the little boy, but said nothing.

Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said, "Because I feel that Uncle Shi seems to be a little unhappy, and he seems to be a little happy.....

The little boy stopped there and looked at his uncle in front of him for a long time.

Such an uncle is naturally rare.

In the past, Le Chaotian always smiled, but today he didn't smile, and his tone was not as gentle as in the past.

But sometimes when walking in the sound of dripping water, the steps seem to be brisk.

So the little boy was full of puzzlement.

Le Chaotian sighed, touched the little boy's head, and said softly: "Yes, but in the end, we still made an appointment to have a hot pot tomorrow." ”

Disputes are part of life's perception.

And hot pot is just a matter between brothers and sisters.

So naturally the two are not in conflict.

Lu Xiaosan thought for a while and said sincerely: "Cao Weiying said that not being able to understand is the normal state of life.....

Le Chaotian smiled.

"Yes."

Lu Xiaosan said seriously: "The most important thing is to think clearly about what to eat in the hot pot tomorrow." ”

“......”
