Chapter 38 (10)

The original owner said: "From beginning to end, your hands are just a ball of air, and there has been no increase or decrease. The reason for the joys and sorrows of gains and losses is all caused by subjective thoughts. clenched his fists, thinking that he had grasped something, but in fact he had nothing, but in this process, he became obsessed. Just like your master, he has given this obsession form with his own thoughts. He didn't fall in love with Chu Anlin, but fell in love with his self-created obsession. It is only because he thinks he has gained and then lost, that he experiences an extreme shift between the two emotions. But if you look at it from another angle, Chu Anlin has never belonged to him, and even this individual has never existed, her life and death are all ordinary changes in the replacement of nature, just like every moment, the air around her is constantly flowing, but how can anyone stop and investigate? Is the Demon Sect Leader an external inducement, the real pain, or his obsession. The ancients had the vastness of heaven and earth, and people were in the same place, which was tantamount to the saying that mayflies were placed on heaven and earth. There is even a saying that 'the cover will be seen from the one who has changed, and the heaven and the earth have not been able to take it for a moment', and everyone will come naked, and will go naked, and they can't bring anything, and they can't take it away. Life is short for decades, and the only person who really accompanies him is himself, and there has never been superficial gains and losses. If everyone can really achieve a pure heart and few desires, there will be no demons in the heart, and they can affect his state of mind. ”

Li Yijie seemed to have formed some thoughts in his mind, but in this way, he was even more confused, and hesitated: "So, what I am standing here now, what I see and hear, is not real, but the fantasy of my heart? A hundred years later, there will be no more self in the world, and all sounds, colors, and shapes are fleeting nothingness, and they are never worth grasping...... If we don't have something to cherish in this world, isn't it too boring? Why can't we just focus on what we have in our hands, instead of clinging to what we can't get and what we have lost, and make ourselves miserable?"

The original owner said: "It's not about letting people completely abandon themselves, how to look at gains and losses, only whether you can properly adjust your state of mind." can not be left by the changes of the outside world, 'not happy with things, not sad with himself', only in this way can he really jump out of the cycle of gain and loss, enough to override the years, and reach the realm of immortality. But if you really want to do this, I am afraid that mortals with flesh and blood will not be able to find it for life. It's like you're grieving for your deceased master and brother now, and you're stuck in obsession. In other words, fear arises from love. In the "Dharma Sentence Sutra", it was said, "Therefore, don't love, love parting is suffering." If there is no love or hatred, he is unbound.'" If they never existed, or if you had never seen them, and things were going on as usual today, would you mourn for life and death somewhere in the world? In this world, countless people die every day, but there are also countless people who are born, and they are just a kind of general reincarnation. Brother Meng is already in this life, and in the future, he will be reborn. Sometimes even if we love someone deeply, we can't keep her by our side forever, and we should have this kind of realization at the beginning. ”

Nangong Xue said softly: "The words are good, but since you are born as a human being, you should accept the status quo and cherish all this at the same time." Joy, anger, sorrow, resentment and hatred will be an emotion that only human beings can experience, even if it will be felt by external objects, at least, we have really lived, not a corner of thousands of earth and stones in the world. ”

The original owner was stunned, and Li Yijie asked: "The original owner, forgive the younger generation for being rude to ask, since you know this kind of way of gain and loss, conform to the time, and the power of mortals is irreversible, but why didn't you tell my master early in the morning that you want him to fall into a quagmire, exhaust all his energy, and finally find it difficult to extricate himself?"

The original owner said: "I just read the three collections of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, if you want to say proficient, it is still far away, even if you understand it, it is difficult to enlighten people." Brother Meng is deeply obsessed, he is immersed in the sadness of losing An Lin, and the only hope in this life is to practice hard, and defeat the Demon Sect Leader in the future, so that he can get An Lin again. To tell the truth, he was often complacent about the arrival of that day, but he didn't know that it was just a dream he had made up. But all his joy is pinned on this, how can I tell him again, for so many years, what he has been obsessed with has always been something that does not exist? The most terrible thing in life is not failure, but the loss of purpose, and then it is true despair. Once his faith is destroyed, and what he is focusing on with all his strength is reduced to a void, he is afraid that he will collapse immediately. Sometimes presenting as a prophet, seeing through everything, and at the same time penetrating everything, is not necessarily for the benefit of others. In life, after all, there is still something to hide with kindness. ”

Li Yijie said: "Master is not an unreasonable person, you told me this, even my elm head, if he has already understood, how can he not listen to it? Even if it is painful for a while, it is human nature. In the end, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, than to let him waste his life. ”

The original owner said: "You still don't understand the complexity. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, just because you are outside the bureau and have no interests involved, this kind of truth is very simple in your eyes, and I can use these simple examples to explain it to you. But when your master is in the game, it can be said that he is one with the quagmire in the middle of it. If you want to save him, you first have to cut off the bindings, but that also hurts him, how is it different from cutting off his hand and foot meridians? It's like instructing others to play chess, and you often think that chess is nothing more than that. But when you really let go, you will feel that there are ambushes everywhere in all directions, and there is really confusion about not knowing where to start, and the theories you heard before have long been useless. Only in the face of one's own interests can one put oneself in one's shoes, and when one is outside, it is impossible to thoroughly understand others. Not to mention...... Ha, what qualifications do I have to comfort him? Who wouldn't be able to tell a few big words of truth verbally? If you really want to see it, it will be very rare. On the surface, I said that gains and losses follow fate, and the Tao is natural, but if I can really see it, I will not be angry with the world after killing Ah Yin with the wrong hand. Not to mention that for more than ten years, I have always been thinking about her, and the rest of the women are no matter how beautiful they are, they can't get into my eyes. It's ridiculous to say, I know that people can't be resurrected after death, but I always have hope in my heart, looking forward to the day when I will see her standing in front of my eyes again. Even if it's not to come to see me, but just to see Yi'er, that's fine......"

Li Yijie's heart jumped suddenly, thinking that he was not mired in obsession. In the past, he was in love with Shen Shiyun, and he shaped all the kindness and beauty in the world into an obsession, and he inevitably fell in love with her. There is no desire, so there is no demand, and it is not until the end that you finally recognize your true heart.

And Jiang Yanchen can fiddle with him at will, play with his emotions between applause, and ravage at will, isn't it precisely because he values his master and his disciples too much?

But even so, he couldn't cultivate himself to be as ruthless as Jiang Yanchen, and in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to give up all of himself, and he did not hesitate to catch and use the people around him until he died. That's why he used Nangong Xue as the biggest bargaining chip, and tortured himself to the point of almost breaking down. From this point of view, Jiang Yanchen is really a master when it comes to playing with demons.

The original owner of the village finally showed a little understanding when he saw his expression, and said: "Do you understand these things now? ”

Li Yijie felt blood dripping from his heart, but he couldn't feel the pain anymore, and said softly: "I understand, it's just that this truth is too cruel." Master is just for something that doesn't belong to him, or even never exists...... Yes, if I were you, I would never tell him the news, and I would rather let him always have a hope, even if it is to deceive himself. ”

Nangong Xue said softly, "Master...... Poor Master. I still remember that when we were young, Master cared for us even more meticulously. In addition to practicing martial arts, we often rely on him to listen to his stories. The snow was particularly heavy that year, and a few of us sat in front of the temple gate and watched the snow fly together. It is said that I was born on such a snowy winter night, and my father was overjoyed to see the snow in front of me, so he gave me the same name. Or as fate would have it, since I was a child, I also liked snow very much, and when I saw the whiteness of the vast expanse, it seemed that the whole world had washed it...... That night, after listening to one story after another, at the last moment, I suddenly wanted to find the snowman who could cast spells in the story. Master couldn't resist me, so I had to promise a few of us to build a snowman together. I worked for a few hours, counting nine cold winter nights, but I didn't feel cold. When I saw the little snowman in front of me, I liked it so much that I clamored to name him Cher...... Put two black chess pieces for eyes, a carrot for the nose, put on a hat, put on a cloak, and want to share all your treasures with him...... Later, the master said, it's not early, the snowman has to sleep, so let's go back to the room to rest first, and then come to play with him the next day. That night, I slept soundly and sweetly, and even in my sleep, I was holding the hand of the snowman and singing and dancing. The next day, I couldn't wait to see him on the Chaoyang Terrace, the sun came out, it was warm everywhere, and I was in a good mood. But...... But when I searched all over the clearing, I saw only the chess pieces, the red nose, the hats, and the cloaks...... But my snowman is gone...... I cried and said that Master had used a spell to turn it off. When I grow up, I realize that beautiful snowflakes can't withstand the sun's rays and are destined to melt into water. I also understand that everything that exists in the world has a time limit and is very short-lived. I think from now on, I want to be more sensible, I don't cry casually, I want to be a good boy who makes everyone worry. But as we got older, Master no longer played with us, and just kept a fierce face and shouted at us to go and practice swords. I touched the nail a few times, and slowly, I stopped getting close to my master......"
