Chapter 265 Seclusion and Retreat to the Realm of Freedom and Change
Luoyang, deep in the streets. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The buildings are not so magnificent, but look a little dilapidated, and some are even about to collapse. They are all wooden houses, but they are very clean and tidy, and they are not uncomfortable because of their dilapidation.
Anyone who walks in will feel that this is a secluded place away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and it is rare to have such a quiet place in Luoyang under an imperial city like Luoyang.
The pedestrians who came in and out were all coarse and linen, and there were no emperors and grandsons in brocade clothes, only some plain-clothed civilians. Maybe those emperors and grandchildren, the families of the eunuchs, will not choose such a location to build a house. Therefore, the people who live there are ordinary people.
A few swallows flew around and "chirped" on the eaves, adding a bit of festive energy to this peaceful place.
"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Chu Wuji was shocked, and he didn't know why he suddenly had such a sigh, followed by Yun Feiyang, Shangguan Ziyun, Gongsun Invincible, Cangyueyan and Xiao Xiang.
From the noisy streets, they turned a few alleys and alleys, and gradually walked into this quiet and quiet place. If it weren't for Chu Wuji's familiarity with the terrain and environment, a stranger alone would definitely not be able to find this place.
"Shopkeeper Chu, why do you feel so emotional?" Yun Feiyang smiled and asked.
Chu Wuji smiled indifferently and said, "Do you know who lives here?"
Cang Yueyan glanced left and right a few times, "It looks like it's just some ordinary people." ”
Chu Wuji shook his head and said meaningfully: "It can be said that this is the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and many seemingly ordinary people were all powerful people in the past. Look at the ......," he said, pointing to a stone monument that had been erected not far away.
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Chu Wuji and saw that the stone tablet was engraved with "seclusion", and on the left side of the big word "seclusion" was engraved a line of slightly smaller words: "To the man has no self, the god has no merit, and the saint has no name." ”
"This is the reading of the chapter of Zhuangzi's "Wandering Away", the big shopkeeper, this ......" Yun Feiyang took the lead.
Chu Wuji let out a "hmm", raised his hand and stroked a pinch of his beard on his chin, "Yes, this is from the old man Zhuangzi's "Getaway", so the people who live in the 'seclusion' are also people who yearn for the realm of leisure. ”
"Longing for the realm of leisure, can anyone really be at ease in the world?" Yun Feiyang was stunned, "Before, I chatted with the predecessor of Dongting Lake Xiaoyao Hou Shen, although he called it 'Xiaoyao Hou', in fact, he is not at ease. ”
After Chu Wuji heard this, he laughed heartily, "Shen Juntian's carefreeness just means that he has a unique management, which is far from the so-called carefree state of mind. He is far from the ease that Zhuangzi said, which can be described as a world of difference. ”
"The meaning of the great shopkeeper of Chu is that the people who live in the 'seclusion' have reached the state of ease that Zhuangzi is pursuing?" Shangguan Ziyun smiled and asked curiously.
"No self is a supreme man, no merit is a man of God, and no name is a saint. Zhuangzi is said to be free, and there are a few people in the world who can do it, but the people in the 'seclusion', many of them are like the swallows in front of the hall, they all have indelible glory, and finally choose such a residence, but the rest of their lives. It's not a kind of escape. Chu Wuji sighed.
"I see!"
Chu Wuji continued: "In this life, the most difficult thing is not to pick it up, but to put it down. Letting go means that the glory of the past is gone, and letting go means that there is little to live the rest of. Looking at the world, there are a few people who can really afford to take it and put it down. ”
The public prosecution of invincible also sighed: "How lonely is invincible, when a person really reaches the peak, the height is unbearable, and it is as lonely as snow." ”
"Hehe, Brother Gongsun, in the ranks of killers, you are well-deserved invincible, and you should be the one who feels the deepest. Chu Wuji said with a smile.
Gongsun Wushu paused, "Yes, after so many years of killer career, I am tired of such days of licking blood from the knife edge, and I also want to escape such days." But after all, you can't escape the rivers and lakes, and you can't let go of the rivers and lakes. ”
Although Yun Feiyang was slightly touched, it was difficult to imagine such feelings as Chu Wuji and Gongsun Invincible, whether it was Chu Wuji or Gongsun Invincible, they were all supreme.
Chu Wuji is the leader among the merchants, and Gongsun Invincible is the leader of the killer ranks, although they are not in the same ranks, but the feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold in the heights can also be said to be the same.
Therefore, when they talk about this kind of obsession to let go, they have a deeper understanding.
Yun Feiyang is different, his world can be described as completely new, or his path as a swordsman has just begun, and he is gradually rising like a new star.
And the same is true for Shangguan Ziyun and Cangyueyan, not to mention Xiao Xiang's feeling of being cold in a high place, she is basically the simplest person, a simple woman, with the simple innocence of ordinary women yearning for love.
If you really want to understand the rise and fall of this kind of prosperity, only Chu Wuji, Gongsun Invincible and the like can have such an understanding.
"Yun Shaoxia, when I see the 'Hundred Variety God Hand' Mo Xun for a while, I want to ask him for advice, he used to be an undefeated myth across the rivers and lakes. Chu Wuji said.
"Well, I must follow the intention of the treasurer of Chu, I have heard the master talk about his heroic deeds in Danfeng Mountain, and it is the luck of my three lives to be able to meet this time. "Yun Feiyang is of course willing to get acquainted with Mo Xun.
"However, Mo Xun's personality is a little weird, and after we go in, we must be cautious in our words and deeds. Chu Wuji reminded again.
Shangguan Ziyun frowned slightly, "We are here this time to ask for ink seniors, and we are humble." ”
Chu Wuji took a step and walked towards a courtyard in the depths, looking at the courtyard supported by wood, the gate was closed, and there was no one in the quiet courtyard.
Everyone cautiously walked into the courtyard, Chu Wuji bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Chu Wuji, I made a special trip to visit the 'Hundred Variety God Hand' Mo Xun brothers, and I hope to see you." ”
There was no response in the courtyard, it was still a surprisingly quiet courtyard, and there was no trace of anyone at all.
"Uncle Chu, it seems that there is no one in this courtyard at all, is it that Senior Mo no longer lives here?" Xiao Xiang asked thoughtfully.
Chu Wuji said confidently: "No, the 'Hundred Variety Divine Hand' Mo Xun brothers have been living here since they returned to seclusion, and he will not leave the seclusion." He must be in the house. ”
Cang Yueyan smiled and said, "You Central Plains people are really strange, people are obviously in the house, but why do you close the door?"
"Not necessarily, seeing is not believing, the door is not necessarily closed. Chu Wuji smiled mysteriously, "Maybe Brother Mo has already calculated that we will come to disturb us today, so he deliberately pretended to close the door and not see the guests." (To be continued.) )
