The Theory of Reincarnation: Spider Web
Different from the tense atmosphere in the cabin, Xiao Shu sat alone in the bow of the boat, leisurely holding a fishing rod to fish, the sea breeze was blowing, and he felt a little cool, the butterfly was bored on the side, and he also sat next to Xiao Shu with a fishing rod, the butterfly who was born in the northern ice field had never seen the sea, before today, she couldn't even imagine how big the sea was, what the concept of the so-called boundless was, but now she understood.
I can't see the end at a glance, the water and the sky are connected, like the sky hanging upside down, being in it, rising and sinking with the waves, it really has a different taste, it should be excited, but for some reason, the butterfly has never been interested, she secretly glanced at Xiao Shu beside her with a gloomy expression, and her mind was not on fishing at all.
"When I was a child, I loved to fish with Xiao Jin, he was going to study and get famous, but unfortunately I took it astray, now I think about it really can't stand him, I don't know how much I was beaten and scolded by my mother, but fortunately he is not a reading material, I really want to talk about it, I can't complain about me, only blame him for his own mental integrity, he always said that the fish caught in those small rivers are too small, no one wants to sell them, and he eats too many thorns, and he wants to go fishing in the sea every day, but unfortunately we didn't have money at that time, and I was too young, and it was just a joke. ”
Xiao Shu looked at the end of the sea and sky, the dusty past came to his heart little by little, not to mention sadness, but inexplicably a little melancholy, came back to his senses, but felt funny, so many years have passed, this to the hurdle himself has never been able to pass, although it is not hindered by practice, but still often like an old man to remember, yes, can not forget, Xiao Jin is the only flaw in his selfless state of mind, maybe it is impossible to forget it in this life.
"I don't know if he has already entered reincarnation, what is his identity in this life, is he still a prince, or just an ordinary family, if we meet again, I can deny it...... Alas, thinking a lot, I like to think about these useless things, it seems that I am really old. Xiao Shu's eyes lowered, staring thoughtfully at the fishing rod in his hand.
"Reincarnation? Xiao boy, it's really not that I want to hit you, the idea of reincarnation may indeed be widely spread in the mortal realm, many mortals believe that if they have this life, they must have a past life, and if they have a past life, there must be a previous life, and there must be an earlier life, but do you think this statement is really credible? To put it bluntly, in ordinary people's cognition, reincarnation is the soul, not the body, taking the virtual spirit world as an example, thousands of years ago, when it was wild, what is the past life of the present living soul? No, nothing, no past life, no next life, for living beings, life and death are only one life, once the soul is scattered, it will return to heaven and earth. Su Wen explained.
“...... Senior, can't you let me have some thoughts?" Xiao Shu couldn't help but interrupt.
"Wake you up in time, that's what I have to do now, reincarnation is just a mortal's self-comfort, only cultivators can maintain a spirit at the time of life and death, so there is such a thing as a second life, but you don't have to think that this is reincarnation, on the contrary, the vast majority of immortals and Buddhas will not do this, one is that there is no chance, and the other is that the price is too great, who is willing to scatter and cultivate for reincarnation as a human for no reason?"
"But seniors, I've often heard people talk about the reincarnation of immortals, what is the continuation of the previous fate, the cause of the third life, etc., could it be that these are really just rumors?"
Xiao Shu is obviously a victim of folklore, even at this point, he still believes in the theory of reincarnation, all kinds of poignant love stories, all kinds of legends such as immortals falling in love, but as soon as these words are asked, Xiao Shu knows that it is over, with Su Wen's character, it will not only scoff at it, but also ruthlessly debunk this lie, completely shattering his only remaining illusions.
"What do you say? What do you say? What is that?"
Su Wen's tone was extremely strange, Xiao Shu could even imagine that if Su Wen stood in front of him, his face must be full of question marks.
Xiao Shugan laughed twice, and recounted the various stories he had heard before in the shortest way possible, in his opinion, although those stories were a bit of the same meaning, he still remembered the feeling when he first heard it, and after listening to it, he still imagined that he was the protagonist of the story all day long, but he deliberately skipped his thoughts at the time of narration.
", it's pure, I don't have the face to listen to it anymore, what kind of fairy love, the people who make up these stories are dreaming too much, Xiao boy, I don't think you really believe it, you still remember it so clearly. Su asked playfully.
"Ahem...... How could it be, in fact, I knew it was fake as soon as I heard it, but after all, I didn't have any evidence to debunk it at the time, but it was quite an interesting story, so I remember it more clearly. Xiao Shu laughed twice against his will.
"First of all, do you think any immortal would give up the fruit of ascetic cultivation for the so-called love between men and women? Don't make me laugh, don't talk about others, Xiao boy, your current Dao body is neither male nor female, you tell me, does the love between men and women have even the slightest attraction to you? In other words, do you have this concept in your head?"
Xiao Shu thought seriously for a long time, and slowly shook his head, Su Wen was right, he didn't have a little concept in his mind, maybe the closest time was the company of Linglongzi, but that was only within the scope of friendship, did he ever think about Linglongzi?
The answer is obviously no, when did this state of having no desire for men and women start, Xiao Shu himself doesn't remember, and it seems that he has never really understood, and it is even more impossible to understand it now, after the realm reaches a certain level, the difference between men and women is no longer different in his opinion.
"Yes, you also know that this is impossible, secondly, if the immortals want to be reincarnated, they must have encountered the misfortune of the body and the path of elimination, in order to fight for the only remaining glimmer of life, but most of the time, there is no such opportunity, if someone wants to kill you, it must be a soul destroyer, if it is difficult to cross, it is impossible to do such an opportunistic method, then the question comes, good and good, who will give up the cultivation of a lifetime, only to protect the soul to be reincarnated, for what kind of bullshit karma? Impossible, the only possibility of the reincarnation of the immortal Buddha is to prepare for the catastrophe, to put it bluntly, it is to eliminate karma, accumulate merit, eliminate the number of catastrophes as much as possible, and further improve their own realm, so Buddhism often has people who enter the world and go through the tribulation, picking those stillborn babies, scattering their cultivation, only to protect the soul, but at such a price, but not everyone can laugh at it, as for the stories you said, it is pure nonsense. Su Wen ruthlessly debunked the love stories made up by those storytellers.
"Teacher Xiao...... Teacher Xiao ...... The fish is hooked!"
The fishing rod drooped suddenly, and there were waves on the water surface, but Xiao Shu still had no response, the butterfly called several times, Xiao Shu came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, his wrist shook slightly, and at the same time slowly retracted the fishing line, the fish obviously realized that something was wrong, and struggled several times halfway, but he still couldn't break the fishing line, and after floating and sinking seven or eight times, he was finally caught by Xiao Shu.
Even if it is out of the water, the fish is still struggling in Xiao Shu's hands, the water droplets are splashing, and the sea is close at hand, but there is a gap between life and death, Xiao Shu looked at the fish in his hand silently, sighed for a long time, took off the hook, and threw it back into the water.
"Why did you let it go?" Butterfly looked at Xiao Shu with a puzzled expression.
"Haha, it doesn't dislike my regressive fishing level, it's still hooked, I'm a good fate, otherwise I wouldn't have failed it. Xiao Shu said with a smile.
"How's your rest, guys?"
Lan Dumu followed the wooden ladder to the deck, and after taking off his mask, he slowly walked to the bow of the boat, let out a long breath, his face was not very good-looking, seasickness was a problem he had always been unable to overcome, and he was still wearing a mask in the cabin just now, which was really a little breathless.
"Did you ask something?"
The golem, who had been leaning against the mast from beginning to end, had finally opened his eyes, and whether or not Cappelolin could provide useful information would directly determine the next step.
"I have to say, this woman Kapemir is really a bit pathetic, not to mention the betrayal of relatives, but it is not far away, she is willing to cooperate, but she still needs your cooperation, of course, before that, I still have a question, if you prepare in advance, are you sure to capture the Shenyuan Lingwu alive? If not, please tell me now, explain in advance, I can't provide you with any substantial help, after all, I am already 'dead', and everything that happens next has nothing to do with the Lando family. ”
Lan Dumu glanced at the people on the deck, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu slowly put away the fishing rod, and said calmly, "It may be easier to kill her, but it may be a little troublesome if she is captured, I will try my best to ensure that she survives." ”
"It seems that these days, there is no difference between killing a Shenyuan Lingwu and killing a chicken. ”
Ye Long raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the puppet, Xiao Shu's words were too arrogant, what Shenyuan Lingwu represents is the peak of the current spiritual path, what does it mean to try to ensure that she can survive?
"Okay, I'm going to prepare the letter now, which of you is going to deliver it?"
Lan Dumu nodded noncommittally, anyway, the words have already been said in front, there is only so much he can do, capturing Capemir alive is the easiest but most difficult way at the moment, the simplicity is that if you can catch her, then all the problems are not a problem, the difficulty is that Capemir's strength has reached an unfathomable level, and her city and scheming are far more terrifying than her strength.
"I guess I can't help much, so I'll send the letter. Ye Long said.
"Don't bother, the Lord has already found him. Xiao Shu said suddenly.
