Chapter 86: Enlightenment
Zhong Qiu looked at the extremely determined and hungry young man in front of him, he saw his determination, he knew that the current water cold could no longer be persuaded, but such determination also increased his worries even more.
He has seen too much, too many people like Shui Han have finally lost themselves and drifted away in the thirst for power, and he is a teacher, the teacher of this immature teenager in front of him, if one day, this teenager is ruined, maybe it is the boy's own choice, maybe no one will blame him, but every teacher understands that with such a name, it is impossible for him to escape, so he has to make up his mind now.
"Shui Han, what I want to ask you next is very important, you must think about it before answering me. ”
Shui Han nodded.
Zhongqiu put down the wine glass and sat down, and said:
"If one day in the future you had power strong enough for any of your needs, what would you do with it?"
Shui Han thought for a while and said:
"I want to put an end to all this war and turn the world into a paradise. ”
After Shui Han finished speaking, he raised his head, but he met Zhongqiu's extremely serious eyes, his eyes, as if they were about to pierce the deepest part of his heart, Zhongqiu said:
"Is this really what you want to do? Think about it, think about it, I want the truest thoughts in your heart, or ......."
"Desire. ”
When Zhongqiu said these two words, there was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, not distinguishing between good and evil.
Shui Han was a little confused by the question, he seemed to understand something, and asked himself, the words just now were indeed what he wanted to do. Shui Han has been fighting since he can remember, the Seven Kingdoms have been fighting, and he, like every ordinary person in this troubled world, lives a life of fear every day, he really hates such a world, such a world that is mottled by war, he wants to change it, but he is not sure, is this the most desired idea in his heart, what he really wants to do, is it really such a high-sounding thing as world peace? Even, these days in Taoyuan, he seems to have forgotten this long-hidden goal, he enjoys the comfortable days in Taoyuan and does not ask about the world, how is it outside, what does it have to do with himself, as long as he is happy, isn't it?
He suddenly thought of what Chongluan said before he disappeared, he asked himself to protect Richu, Shui Han seemed to understand something, if it wasn't for Richu, would he still be as comfortable and satisfied as he is now?
The answer, obviously, is no.
Shui Han's eyes suddenly became extremely special, not only serious, but also endless sadness in his deep eyes.
Water Cold Road:
"Teacher, I have a question for you. ”
Zhongqiu was stunned for a moment, seeing that Shui Han's expression seemed to be serious, he nodded and motioned for Shui Han to continue.
Water Cold Road:
"If I had that power, would my friends still be by my side?"
Zhongqiu Road:
"Who knows, but even if you're not there, you can use the power you have, friends, stay around, don't you?"
Shui Han seemed to look at Zhongqiu very reverently, and said:
"If that's the case, then I'd rather not have your so-called power. ”
Zhongqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"You mean, in your heart there is more to your friends than to power, do you?"
Shui Han thought for a while and said:
"There was once a man, when he left me, the last thing he said to me was to let me protect my good friend, and his departure made me very sad, so I wondered, what is the purpose of my seeking strength? Now that I think about it, maybe aside from everything else, the power I am pursuing is probably used to protect the people I cherish, and the powerful power that the teacher said to satisfy my own desires makes me feel ......."
Shui Han was thinking of a definite word, and soon he thought of it, and he continued:
"It scared me. ”
After listening to Shui Han's words, Zhongqiu didn't know if this was the answer he wanted, but he knew that this was not the answer he didn't want, and he said:
"Shui Han, I want you to remember what you just said for the rest of your life, and you will encounter many difficulties and temptations on the road of cultivation in the future, but you must not forget that the original intention of your cultivation is to protect your cherished companions. ”
"Protect my dear companions. ”
Shui Han thought silently and nodded seriously.
Zhong Qiu looked at Shui Han, smiled slightly, and then laughed, at least he now knew that the young man in front of him was good-hearted, although it was not easy to say what would happen in the future, but he had now strengthened his determination to introduce Shui Han into the path of law cultivation.
Shui Han didn't know why, and said:
"I said, "Teacher, what are you smiling at? You haven't told me about enlightenment yet. ”
Zhongqiu Road:
"Actually, I have already given you the first step to enlightenment. ”
Shui Han touched his head, not understanding at all, and waited for Zhongqiu to continue.
Nakaoka continued:
"Shui Han, I think you have also read a lot of books on enlightenment, what do you think is the most important step in enlightenment?"
Shui Han thought for a while and said:
"Naturally, it is to realize the Dharma lineage and return to the Dharma Dantian, it is said that in this way you can use the mana stored in the body, but I really don't know how to do this, the books say that this is a natural act of thought, but I don't understand how this kind of thing can be natural. ”
Zhongqiu smiled and said:
"No, what I just asked you is the most important step in enlightenment. ”
Shui Han still scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Zhongqiu Road:
"What do you want to do first?"
Shui Han still didn't understand, just looked at Zhongqiu with blank eyes.
Zhongqiu sighed and said:
"Naturally, you must first figure out why you are doing this, and enlightenment is naturally the same way, your enlightenment is naturally to practice spells, and practicing spells is naturally to gain power, and to gain power, you must first know the purpose of gaining power, and this is the purpose I just asked you. ”
Shui Han seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand a little, and said:
"But even if I knew, what would it do to enlighten me?"
Zhongqiu picked up the wine jug again, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, looked at Shui Han very seriously, and said:
"Not really. ”
