In the end, the autumn water really became an ocean, a dragon and a wind constantly shuttling in the stormy waves.

Next, the color of the ocean began to change, the blue faded, and finally crystal clear, like warm jade, not like the water of the mortal world, but like the Nine Heavens Spiritual Spring.

At the same time, a profound and mysterious aura rose from the ghost-faced man's body, filling the main piece of the world in an instant.

I don't know if it was affected by the breath or something else, the sky flickered, and after a while, the sky was full of stars. And whether it was the fire phoenix or the woman, the figure loomed in the deep night sky.

There was a brief pause in the battle, and looking at the grim-faced man's fierce but playful gaze, the old man finally restrained the smile on his face, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be talking to himself, and said as if pointedly: "Jade Spirit Heavenly Water, Chaotic Void...... It turns out that it's you!"

The ghost-faced man let out a strange laugh, and said a little defiantly: "The old guy has a good eye, he should be able to blind now."

The old man smiled and said: "If the heart is not old, the person will not die, although the old man is old and dizzy, he can feel that he can still see the red dust for another hundred years!"

The ghost-faced man looked gloomy and sneered, and the next moment, he lowered the Qiushui Sword in his hand downward, and the next moment, let go of his palm.

The autumn water fell, but there were no ripples, and after a while, it melted into the crystal ocean.

In an instant, the sparkling colors of the entire ocean became sharp

......

......

At sunset, Lin Xiu and Moon Shadow Xuan sat side by side on a boulder by the stream, looking at the sky with a little distraction.

The red lotus on the horizon is blooming and dyed thousands of miles, with the heavy ink-like color of the distant mountains, but there is an indescribable depression.

After a long time, the red light gradually dimmed, and the colors of the distant mountains became more and more intense, but in the end, they gradually merged with the sky, making people feel a little in a trance, I don't know whether the ink stained the sky or the sky light converged on the mountains.

A soft sigh sounded in the cool evening breeze. ！

Moon Shadow Xuan glanced at Lin Xiu beside her in some surprise, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a ripple in the other party's blurred gaze.

"I suddenly don't want to find the so-called Tao so much"

The two of them had been sitting here since the sunset was red, and this was the first thing Lin Xiu said.

"Why?"

Moon Shadow Xuan hugged her knees and looked at Lin Xiu sideways, her jet-black hair hanging lightly along the gauze skirt, some of which were sprinkled on the ground, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

She knew very well that Ling had a fatal attraction to cultivators, and she also believed that Lin Xiu could not resist such an attraction before, and she knew better that Lin Xiu had always been resolute in his heart, and it was difficult for anything to shake his heart towards the Dao.

Why is it that at this time, if you say hesitation, you hesitate?

Lin Xiu muttered, "What do you say people live in this life?"

Moon Shadow Xuan looked stunned, not understanding why Lin Xiu was so emotional. And the discussion of this question has never stopped since ancient times, a thousand people may have a thousand answers, and Moon Shadow really doesn't know how to answer.

Lin Xiu's gaze gradually blurred, as if Fang Cai's question was not asked for the sake of asking. He then spoke, "I remember when I was ten years old, Master asked me this question. ”

A ripple rippled in Moon Shadow's eyebrows, the expression on her face became softer and softer, and she said softly, "How did you answer?"

A smile hung on the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth, as if he thought of the scene at that time, he spoke: "I said that I lived to be immortal. ”

Moon Shadow Xuan was slightly stunned, and then a touch of sadness welled up in her heart.

The smile on the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth slowly expanded, and even his tone was full of smiles, and then said: "At that time, the master had a black face, and scolded me for being selfish and useless. ”

Moon Shadow Xuan was about to hold Lin Xiu's grievances and say something so young, but she had just opened her mouth when Lin Xiu's somewhat deep voice sounded again:

"After just scolding him twice, he was silent, and then looked up to the sky and sighed", I can still clearly remember the loneliness and depression on Master's face, and a few days later, I found that he had a few more strands of gray hair on his temples."

Moon Shadow Xuan was stunned again, and after a while, tears suddenly flashed in the corners of her eyes, but she said with a happy face: "Having a master who loves you so much is really a blessing from your previous life."

Lin Xiu said with a smile: "Yes, Master is the kind of person who never says it, but silently interprets care with his actions. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Later, when I was fifteen years old, he asked me this question again. ”

Moon Shadow said softly, "How did you answer?"

Lin Xiu muttered: "At that time, my body was deteriorating, and even every day the cold spring body body would often pass out and cause the sudden body process to be interrupted, I knew that my life was short, looking at the master's gray hair, I told him, I hope that while I am alive, I will not see his full head of gray hair." ”

Moon Shadow Xuan's beautiful eyes were slightly red, and she wanted to cry, Lin Xiu glanced at her, and actually smiled: "Why are you the same as my master." ”

But after saying this, his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and he continued: "That was the only time I saw tears flowing from the corners of Master's eyes, he got up from the bamboo chair and gently stroked my head, and I can still clearly feel the temperature and rough texture of his slightly trembling palms."

"He whispered to me that he still wants to watch me get married and have a full house of children and grandchildren......"

"I was thinking, is this the wish of the master? Is this the life of the master? If this is the case, if I die, will the master lose the purpose of living? So I secretly decided in my heart that I want to live for the master. At least I live one more day, and his wish will not be shattered. ”

Lin Xiu's arms propped back his body slightly back, looked up at the early night, and suddenly chuckled: "It's strange to say, since then, every day when the cold spring suddenly appears, I desperately said to myself in my heart, don't faint, you have to persevere." He really never passed out again. And the gray hair on Master's head doesn't seem to have increased since that day. ”

Moon Shadow Xuan's eyes were red, and tears were staggered, but she didn't say a word, just looked at him stupidly.

Lin Xiu closed his eyes slightly, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and he muttered: "It turns out that sometimes the belief in living for the people around you will be firmer than living for yourself. ”

Moon Shadow wiped the corners of her eyes and said softly, "This is the concern between each other." ”

Lin Xiu suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, worry." For this care, I try to make myself live longer, and for this care, I want to make myself stronger, and I want Master to live a better life...... I believe that there are many people like me in the world, who are also embarking on the road of chasing the road and the road of the strong for the concern in their hearts."

"However, in the end, how many people have really become strong? Will the worries in the hearts of those who bury their bones in the rivers and lakes and die quietly and silently on the way to the road disappear with the candle flame of their lives? Even if those so-called strong people, which one has paid more or lost? Is it worth it? Is it really worth it?"

In the face of Lin Xiu's series of questions, Moon Shadow Xuan slowly widened her eyes, and finally was speechless.

"Those who have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time envy the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes, those who are fluctuating in the wind and rain yearn for the quiet life between the green mountains and beautiful waters, and those who live in the market envy the temples and halls, and the high-ranking officials want to die well...... What do you live for?"

Listening to Lin Xiu's words, Moon Shadow Xuan sighed with a complicated face, and then muttered, "I now know why this topic continues from ancient to modern. ”

It's just that she looked at Lin Xiu with some concern, as the saying goes, mediocre people disturb themselves, but even if they are smart, once they fall into this kind of problem and can't extricate themselves, they will inevitably become mediocre people in the end.

As if sensing the worry in Yue Yingxuan's eyes, Lin Xiu smiled, a touch of brilliance appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Although I can't figure it out, I understand a little." ”

In Moon Shadow Xuan's slightly stunned gaze, he suddenly got up and raised his hand to the heavens: "There are hundreds of ways in life, there are thousands of ways in the sky, and there are thousands of ways for hundreds of people, each with its own wonderful." That's exactly what that said...... The road is different. ”

Lin Xiu's gaze became more and more determined, and he said in a deep voice: "But the avenues are different, and in the end, all paths are one. Why, then, do we have to be so paranoid about pursuing a certain path?"

"There has been a warning on the stone tablet, martial arts is the way, day and night and the moon are the way, the change of the four seasons is the way, birth, old age, sickness and death are also the way, the grass and trees are withered, and the wind, frost, rain and snow are also the way...... In other words, you and I have already touched the Tao when we bend down, and when we look up, we can see the Tao, and everything is the Tao......"

Moon Shadow frowned, "You mean ......"

Lin Xiu said with a smile: "People's hearts are complicated, and if you can't get it, you always think it's the best, but after you lose it, you find that the most precious thing is what you once had." That being the case, since all things are the way, why should we waste our time chasing the unknown way and abandon the way we have already attained?"

"Perhaps, wouldn't it be better if you could play the piano, and I could listen to the music, and even exchange ideas with each other?"

"I don't believe that when heaven and earth first opened, there were ten thousand ways to follow, and I even more believe that ten thousand ways are the footprints left by the once strong people in various fields. The way of the predecessors can be borrowed and understood, but it is difficult to go further than it. In the end, you have to go your own way. Don't force it, go with your heart, and cherish what you already have...... That's the path I want to take. ”

"Don't force it, go with your heart, cherish what you already have" Moon Shadow muttered to herself, savoring this sentence carefully, and after a while, there was a faint hint of realization in her eyes

......

There is a melodious piano sound, indescribably cheerful and light, the piano and the evening breeze dance lightly, in the stars and the moon with the same light.

Hundreds of zhang away, the moment the woman who returned to the Star Realm heard the sound of the piano, her complexion changed, and her graceful body retreated like a weightless light feather.

But she didn't retreat too far, and suddenly stopped, frowning slightly, and looking puzzled.

As the so-called expressing her heart through the sound of the piano, she can feel the mood of the string player at this time. Different from the previous murderous undercurrent and thrilling, the sound of the piano at this time is cheerful and smart, and there is really an indescribable melodious sound.

It seems to be like an eagle hitting the sky, and like a fish jumping into the sea, that kind of unrestrained freedom and ease made her feel moved.

She raised her eyebrows, her eyes were shocked, and her small mouth opened slightly:

"Moody?"
