The blind man got the answer from Ji Sheng, and went back to see the flower demon that saved him. But by the time he got there, the flowers were gone.

He couldn't help but feel sad that the flower had only saved him because of his resemblance to the people he was waiting for.

For the first time in his life, he was jealous of someone he had never met.

But he didn't know that the people he was jealous of did not exist in the world.

...

...

Gu Weirui returned to the West Lake, and did not enter the medical hall, but went to the tavern.

"When can you spill the wine in the pot into the river and sea and give it to the people of the world?" she said to Ji Sheng with a smile.

Ji Sheng said: "I want to be so selfish, if you don't tell me a story, you won't drink." ”

Gu Weirui sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know who your temperament is." ”

Ji Sheng laughed and said: "I am me, so don't be like you." ”

Gu Weirui said: "Okay, but you actually hid something from me." ”

Ji Sheng said: "You went to see him again." ”

Gu Weirui said: "Yes, in fact, if you want to see him, it is more convenient than me." ”

Ji Sheng said: "I hold the six reincarnations on his behalf, and I can't leave casually." ”

Gu Weirui said: "What you said also makes sense, I've worked hard for you." ”

Ji Sheng said: "What's so hard, my errand, I don't know how many people dream of it." ”

Gu Weirui said: "You should know far more than me, does he really have no way to return to this world?"

Ji Sheng said: "No." ”

Gu Weirui looked at her and said, "Really?"

Ji Sheng said: "Hmm." ”

Gu Weirui felt that Ji Sheng didn't tell the truth, but Ji Sheng hid it from her, it must be because the truth was more cruel.

Ji Xiao is really happy in that place?

...

...

The sky is surging, and Ji Xiao hasn't left the stone he sat on for a long time.

There is no passage of time here, and a moment can pass forever.

In a cage where time is meaningless, even without any torture, it is unimaginable suffering. It's no different from Infernal Hell.

And the Infernal Hell is also the most terrible hell.

"Who knows that you, who represent the six realms of reincarnation, are living in a place like an infernal hell. ”

A man in sackcloth and shoes emerged from the water of the heavenly river.

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Who would have thought that it was not my relatives and friends who came to see me most often, but you Zhuang Zhou." ”

Zhuang Zhoudao: "I once thought that the struggle between Taiyi and the Buddha for enlightenment could be said to be the most wonderful story in the world, but Shen Qingxia's story is more exciting than them, and now that I see your story, I can't help but sigh." ”

Ji Xiao smiled and said: "I'm not as comfortable as Taiyi, and I don't have the talent of Senior Shen to surpass everything, so I can only be dull and make you a joke." ”

Zhuang Zhou said: "Why should you be humble, in your situation, making that kind of choice has already made me stunned." ”

Ji Xiao said: "Actually, I want to know what choice Brother Zhuang Zhou will make in my situation?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said, "If you want to know the answer, why don't I tell you a story." ”

Ji Xiao said: "Okay." ”

Zhuang Zhou said: "I once walked to the foot of a mountain and saw a big tree, with lush branches and leaves, standing beside the stream, which was particularly conspicuous. But see this tree: it is a hundred feet thick, thousands of feet high, pointing to the sky, and its crown is as wide as a giant umbrella, which can cover more than a dozen acres of land. I couldn't help but ask the logger, 'Excuse me, master, how is it that such a large timber has not been cut down so much that it has grown alone for thousands of years?' and the logger seemed to be dismissive of the tree, and he said, 'What is this surprising? If it is used as a boat, it will sink in water, if it is used as a coffin, it will quickly rot, if it is used as an utensil, it will be easily destroyed, if it is used as a door or window, it will not dry up, and if it is used as a pillar, it will be susceptible to insect erosion. There is no wood and nothing can be used, so it can have such a long life. ’”

Ji Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Zhuang Zhou, the advantage of your tongue is better than the Zhuxian Sword, I am ashamed of myself." ”

It turned out that what Zhuang Zhou said was the answer to Ji Xiao, and the big tree was able to live all its days because of its lack of material, which was useless. And Zhuangzi is the big tree, even though he is tall and great, but he has no place to use for the transcendent, so it is useless to preserve his body, and he does nothing but to himself.

The way of Taishang, when it comes to Zhuangzi, can be said to be a different way.

This is also where Xuandu is inferior to Zhuangzi.

Xuandu fought and lost his body, and Zhuangzi won his body without fighting.

Of course, with the blessing of Tuo Jixiao, the universe has come back, and all living beings have been preserved in the end.

Therefore, there will be Xuandu and Jizang in the world again, which can be regarded as Ji Xiao's return of favor.

Zhuang Zhou said leisurely: "The Zhuxian Sword is no longer the number one killing sword in the world. ”

He pointed to the heavenly river, and there was water emerging to form a round mirror, reflecting everything in the world.

...

...

At this time, it is winter, the ice and snow are shining, covering the earth, and in the white expanse, only one plum blossom blooms.

There was also a cat, and a boy in white.

A man and a cat face off in the snow.

...

...

Ji Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "Beiluo Shimen and Wusheng, they want to duel?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled: "Yes." ”

Ji Xiao touched his forehead and said, "What are the two of them combative, Brother Zhuang Zhou, can you do me a favor and persuade me to fight." ”

These two guys fought, and there were only a few people who could persuade them to fight, and at present, Ji Xiao could only find Zhuang Zhou.

Whether it's Wusheng or a cat, they are all his good friends, and he doesn't want any of them to be damaged.

Zhuang Zhou said: "Cats are aggressive, and that Wusheng is a peerless and unrivaled swordsman, if you stop them from fighting for a while, they will fight sooner or later." ”

Ji Xiao said: "Then you might as well not let me see this." ”

Zhuang Zhou said: "You're too bored here, isn't it good for me to let you see something interesting?"

Ji Xiao said: "I just want to appreciate your hospitality." ”

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said, "Watch them fight, it is definitely a quick thing to be able to witness the demeanor of the world's first killing sword." ”

Ji Xiao said: "I'm not you, I don't feel very happy." ”

He said this, but in fact he was watching intently as the cat and Wusheng fought.

I just don't know who to cheer on.

"Whoever falls behind will cheer for him. ”

Ji Yu comforted himself.

...

...

The cat walks briskly around lifeless, like the wind, but more elusive than the wind.

Only with the eyes of Ji Xiao and Zhuang Zhou can they see that the cat is perceiving the lifeless qi.

Of course, it is not a powerful existence like a cat that can perceive the lifelessness, and if you are someone else, you will become a lifeless soul under the sword.

...

...

Zhuang Zhou said: "Beiluo Shimen has the freedom of Taiyi, and he has more insight into permanence and impermanence, and if he is any swordsman, he will not take any advantage in the face of it." But you take a good look at the lifeless sword. ”

Ji Xiao was staring at lifeless, there was no sword at all, it was not a simple swordless realm, but a completely selfless sword.

Without self, there is no impermanence and impermanence for "me".

This has a hint of indescribable inspiration for Ji Xiao.

It stands to reason that the Tao of this world, he has basically come to an end, there is no Tao that he does not understand, but the lifeless sword Dao can indeed inspire him.

It's hard to describe.
