I stood in front of the door and suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation come over me...... It's hard to ...... It's suffocating......

As I faltered, a mocking voice exploded in my ears: "I thought you had enough will to face these things...... I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable. ”

My eyes went dark, and when I came back to my senses, I was already in the cubicle of the silent bookshop.

"What I just saw was fake?" I looked at Su Mu with some uncertainty.

Su Mu sneered: "At this point, you are still distinguishing between the true and the fake? ”

"True and false, false and true." Su Mu looked at my trance and helplessly explained: "There are some things that you believe in are true, and if you don't believe them, they are false." ”

"Let's go! Take you to meet someone. ”

"Where are you going?" I asked, "What do I need to prepare?" ”

"Don't prepare anything...... Just sit down. ”

……

"Are you ......" I looked at the kind old man in front of me, a little overwhelmed, and Su Mu didn't know where to run.

"Sit down." The old man looked at me for a long time: "Son, remember that you don't need to be so reserved with me. ”

"We're just talking."

"Okay." Anyway, I'm a person who has experienced strong winds and waves...... Nothing to be afraid of.

"Who do you think is the only person in this world who has achieved detachment?" The old man threw out the first question.

"Do you need me to ask me about this question?" I'm a little embarrassed.

"Since you are so sure......," continued the old man, "then why are you still ...... The legacy of those people from the last century...... Bewitch. ”

"The last century? Those people? For the first time, I was so confused: "Senior, can you make it clear?" ”

"I'm not talking about people per se, but about things that are not pure enough."

"Huh?"

"I mean...... The dross left behind, but some people still believe it to be true. The old man said, "If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake." ”

"Child...... You remember that the price you paid is big enough. ”

"As for the rest, that's not something you should be able to afford at your age."

"Accomplishing those tasks has always been a difficult undertaking. And now the baton of this cause has not yet been fully handed over to you. ”

I could hear the old man's last tone, almost pleading.

"While we still have the strength to spare...... Give us a little trust. The old man choked up: "Don't worry, before we leave, before this world officially educates you, we will definitely make it brighter and brighter." ”

The old man got up and paced back and forth in front of my eyes......

"Go ahead......" The old man's last request was: "Child, Su Mu is waiting for you outside the door." ”

"I've said what I'm going to say. He'll tell you the rest. ”

"Okay."

I pushed open the door of the book café, and Su Mu seemed to have been waiting there for a long time......

"Chu Ran...... Feel better? Su Mu asked.

"Much better." I whispered, "It's only today that I really realized ......"

"Surprise what?"

"I realized that the taste of truth is really so sweet that nothing else in the world can compare to it."

"Yes......" said Su Mu, "but ...... What you have to remember is not the lesson itself. But...... What this experience has brought you. ”

"Understood." I nodded.

"What you see isn't real." Su Mu suddenly said such a sentence.

"Ah......" I was surprised: "What's that?" ”

"The representation you see is what the transcendent person left over from when he gathered the power of sentient beings and used it to forcibly imprison something." Su Mu said, "As for what is in there, it is nothing more than ...... Certain garbage ...... I think I can still resist stubbornly...... But in fact, it is just a struggle before dying. ”

"And now those guys want to make a comeback?" I asked.

"They think they can still go backwards in history, go against the grain, and play restoration."

"So what you see is nothing more than the darkness that shrouded the land a hundred years ago."

"The pressure on the current peak seven elders is the same as the criticism that the one endured back then."

"But the difference is that there are more and more people traveling with us today." Su Mu said, "And the one who traveled with him departed one after another; In the end, he was alone. ”

"Everything has a source, right?" I asked, "Since night can produce ...... Is it because the source can't be cut and rooted? ”

"Hmm...... Since you asked, let me tell you. ”

Su Mu hesitated a little: "The source is...... An illusory realm that is independent of all worlds and has an erratic address. ”

"Illusory?"

"Yes. It was created by those guys before they died, with their lifelong cultivation, and it was specially used to deceive people. ”

"But...... There's a reason why that thing has been around for so long in an environment full of righteousness. ”

"What is the reason?"

"There's a little treasure!"

"Huh?"

"But the breeze on the river, and the bright moon in the mountains, the sound of the ears, the color of the eyes, the inexhaustible, is the endless hiding of the Creator; And I and the son are compatible. Su Mu actually began to memorize "Red Cliff Fu".

"You have to understand that there are often things that are unattainable when you are young, and things that seem to be inexhaustible may be lost one day if you miss them." Su Mu said, "Therefore, cherishing what you have now is the right way to the world that belongs to you." ”

"You have to remember that relentlessly strengthening yourself is the most important thing for you right now." Chang Yu: "The requirements for entering the illusion world are very high...... Generally speaking, humans can't get in. ”

"But in this hot land, there are countless people who have been there. You should be able to guess why. Su Mu chuckled.

"Is it because of that one's blessing?" I asked.

Su Mu smiled but did not speak.

"I see."

"I have something to do." I said goodbye to Su Mu: "I'll go first, thank you for having you, my fellow travelers on the road of life, whether it's right or wrong, I'm really grateful." ”

"Go ahead. In any case, never give up on the pursuit of ideals. ”

"Okay."

In this land, the extreme darkness has not been swept since the battle a hundred years ago. Without extreme dimness, there would be no dawn of rebirth......

……

"Nothing has ever happened in this land again." I thought, "It won't happen again in the future." ”

"But my own business...... A dawn that needs to be reborn. I said to myself, "Don't say goodbye to those who have said goodbye, right?" I will cherish the difference this experience has made to me. ”

"This is the best explanation I can think of about my past self. I have experienced emotional darkness, and it is only then that I understand the value of dawn. ”

Former companions! In any case, I should say goodbye to you: goodbye! Or never again!

"I don't have it, but I can't take anything."
