At night, looking into the city from the head of Heyang City, although the lights of thousands of homes are indescribable, the light of the stars still gives people a warm feeling.

For Ghost Li, maybe it's the strangest place for him, right?

He stared silently at the light, then turned around. The walls, which were not tall or strong, were empty at the moment. The bleak evening breeze blew from the empty field outside Heyang City, swept over the city walls at the head of the city that had been damaged by the beast and demon catastrophe, and blew on him and Zhou Xian.

For some reason, Xiaohuan and the Wild Dog Daoist were not here, only Zhou Zhou Xian and Ghost Li stood at the head of Heyang City at this night. However, Zhou Zhou Xian seemed to be calm, holding the bamboo pole curtain with the "immortal guiding the way" in his hand, and an extra wine jug in the other hand, he was taking a big sip at the moment, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"It's good wine" He smiled slightly, and then said to Ghost Li, "This wine is still a little warm, do you want to take a sip?" Ghost Li shook his head silently and said, "Senior, drink it yourself"

Zhou Xian laughed and took another sip to himself. But after this mouthful, he shook the flask, and dropped it off the wall. It seems that there is only the last sip of wine left in the flask, probably because I can't get rid of it, so I asked the ghost.

This night, the moon stars are scarce, the moonlight is like water, the secluded city wall is quite bright by the moonlight, after Zhou Zhou Xian drank wine, he looked up at the sky, stunned, and had nothing to say for a while. The ghost walked slowly to the edge of the city wall, and his eyes immediately fell on a certain place on the city bricks, where there were deep claw marks, and near the claw marks, there were more claw marks densely covered in that brick wall.

Shocking!

"Those are the ones left behind by countless beasts and demons in the midst of the catastrophe. Zhou Zhou Xian also came over at some point, and said lightly.

On the city wall where the two of them are traveling, the old man in this game seems to be a little less banter on weekdays, but a little more sad and compassionate in the ghostly eyes of the viewer.

Ghost Li stretched out his hand and gently stroked through these deep claw marks, and from his fingertips, there was a rough feeling of brick wall hardness, but I don't know how many unjust souls had cried out in these claw marks.

He sank for a long time, and said, "Did a lot of innocent people in Heyang City die at the beginning?" Zhou Zhou Xian sighed, walked to the edge of the city wall, looked down, and in his eyes, the lights in the city were reflected: "Many, although many people have fled to the north early, but at least fifty percent of the people of Heyang City have died innocently and died in the hands of those beasts and demons." Ghost Li looked at Zhou Zhou Xian, and suddenly said: "Senior, you said that those innocent people who died, which one of them is not the same person as us, and that one is not alive and well in this world, not to say all, but at least ninety percent of the people, they are harmless to humans and animals, but why do they have this flying disaster? And why did they come to live like them?" Zhou Zhou Xian looked at Ghost Li, held the city wall with his hand, and said: "You can stand here today, and those people died innocently, let me ask you, what do you think is the reason?" Ghost Li was silent for a long time, and said: "I am different from them, I practice the Dao method, even if the beast demon comes, I can also avoid it." Zhou Zhou Xian nodded and said: "That's it, you see that everyone has a head, but from a big vision, a big realm, just like the Tianyin Temple Buddhism said that all living beings are equal, this is what it means." In fact, according to Buddhism, not only human beings, but also ants and beasts, are inseparable from each other. He paused, smiled slightly, and said, "It's just that in this world, can you be a kind of thing that can be seen clearly? You have great magical powers and great magical powers, you can survive in a desperate situation, and you can transcend ordinary beings, so that all beings are originally equal, but the subtleties have never been equal." “

Ghost Li looked confused, and slowly shook his head and said, "I don't want to be above all sentient beings, and I don't have the compassion to purify sentient beings, just like although I am cultivating, I have no interest in that immortal life. Zhou Zhou Xian said lightly: "Then what do you want?" ~ Ghost Li smiled bitterly, his smile was only dry, and he said in a low voice: "This is it." I don't even know what I want. The expression on his face changed, and the bright moon in the sky gradually reached the middle of the sky, and the moonlight was even more brilliant, spilling down from the sky, stretching his shadow very long.

Zhou Zhou Xian didn't speak, and looked at the ghost Li quietly, but his eyes were completely different from the past, even though standing in front of him was the only ghost in the world who had practiced the four volumes of the {Book of Heaven}, and his Taoism was already unpredictable, but Zhou Zhou Xian looked as if he was taller than him at the moment.

His elegance, his calmness, the night breeze passed through his sideburns and white hair, and even the brilliance of the bright moon seemed to quietly gather on his side.

It's just that Ghost Li didn't find anything unusual, in fact, Zhou Zhou Xian just stood calmly in front of him, and he himself seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts.

After a while, Ghost Li smiled slightly bitterly and said, "It seems that I really can't make it, and I can't even think about why I live and what I want." Zhou Zhou Xian looked at Ghost Li calmly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You are wrong, young man."

The ghost was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he had heard him call himself a young man from Zhou Zhou Xian's mouth, but this was obviously not the point, he was stunned for a moment, "Ask my seniors, you said I was wrong, what was wrong?" Zhou Zhou Xian said lightly: "Do you think that if you can't think about this problem, you can't make it, in my opinion, on the contrary, you can think about this problem, that is, you are far superior to others in this world." Ghost Li was stunned and said, "What?" Zhou Zhou Xian smiled slightly, beckoned: "Come and see" Ghost Li walked to Zhou Xian's side, and looked at the countryside in the direction of his finger......

Zhou Zhou Xian looked at the lamp, and there seemed to be a complicated emotion in the extension, and after a while, he said with a smile: "What are you seeing?" “

Zhou Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Yes, it's the lights." "That little bit of light, just like a living person, they are all living in this world, or proud, or unsatisfactory, but they are going to go down after all, I tell you, this is a lifetime of seeds, I don't know how many people just live for the sake of living, like you to worry about why you are alive, there is no one in ten thousand. Ghost Li was dumbfounded, he had never thought about this statement, but what he heard from Zhou Xiankong seemed to make a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute it.

Zhou Zhou Xian looked at him, and his face suddenly showed a sad color, but this kind of application passed in a blink of an eye, and then he sighed softly, stretched out his hand and patted Ghost Li's shoulder.

Although the ghost Li can't be said to be frightened at the moment, there is always a turmoil in his mind, with his cultivation in the life of the reflection, almost subconsciously about to let Zhou Zhou Xian's palm sideways, but the matter of returning suddenly happened, the Zhou Zhou Xian, who has always pretended to be a ghost, the seemingly floating palm, with the ghost of the cultivation of the Tao, did not dodge, so it was gently patted by Zhou Zhou Xian.

Ghost Li's heart was really shocked, and before he could react, the words that made him even more turbulent came out of Zhou Xian's mouth: "What's more, you are the only person in this world who has studied four volumes of [Book of Heaven], how can you be the same as everyone else?" In fact, the third volume of the [Book of Heaven] obtained from the treasury of the Emperor of Heaven and the fourth volume of the [Book of Heaven] obtained from the wordless jade wall of Tianyin Temple were obtained by Lu Xueqi and those monks of Tianyin Temple, and they did not know that those magical texts were in the same vein as the [Book of Heaven].

However, at this moment, Zhou Zhou Xian was in front of him, please be clear and clear, how not to shock him, for a while, his face was full of disbelief, staring at Zhou Zhou Xian.

Zhou Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "Although you are surprised, you don't have to be like this. After a long time, he suddenly smiled, took a step back, straightened his clothes, and saluted respectfully: "The kid is rude, he has neglected his predecessors in the past, but he has just been puzzled in his heart, and I hope that my predecessors will solve it for me?" How can you not realize the mystery?" The ghost was silent, and said slowly: "Could it be that the predecessors thought that the doubts in the heart were actually unsolvable?"

Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head with a smile and said: "Yes, to understand the character nature, the Buddha is in the heart rather than outside the body, this is the similarity with the Buddha in the [Book of Heaven]. Zhou Zhou Xian said: "That's it." Why people come in their lives is precisely when you realize it yourself, and the old man may be able to point it out for you, but you can't talk to you. With that, he smiled and stepped aside.

The ghost was sinking again, and after a while, the confused look on his face did not subside, and said: ~ Life, death, and farewell, I have only seen these four words always life, please consult the predecessors, is human nature bitter?>; And I ask you, do you think that your life is miserable?

The ghost was stunned, opened his mouth and stopped, Zhou Zhou Xian already smiled and said: "What's the matter, it's hard to say, right? Take your recently passed away master and master, do you think they are crying?"

The ghost sneered and said: "Master and master are ...... to them" Zhou Xian said solemnly: "Tian is not easy to die as he deserves, because he died without regrets, and left with a smile;

The ghost was stunned and speechless for a while.

Zhou Zhou Xian said lightly: "You are overly sad for Tian Buyi and his wife, but I don't know that the two of them may be the most understanding and most regretless people, crossing others with themselves, isn't it ridiculous?" Speaking of this, Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly smiled, looked at the ghost and said, "Are you afraid of death?"

Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, sighed lowly, and said, "Afraid" Zhou Zhou Xian said: "Oh, I want to ask you, what are you afraid of, is it the word of death itself?" Zhou Zhou Xian smiled: "That's it." You can see through life and death, but there are more important things in your heart than life and death, instead of you asking me in every way, it is better to imagine these more important things, right?~ Ghost Li frowned, looked at one or two, seemed to have an understanding, but did not show his face, but fell into deeper thoughts. Zhou Zhou Xian didn't bother him, Xiao Xiao walked to the side, looked up, and saw that the bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight was like whom, all of it was sprinkled......

Above the wilderness, the evening breeze is bleak, the stars are moving, and the sky is infinite.

He stared at it for a long time, and suddenly let out a deep sigh.

A ghostly voice suddenly came from behind: "Senior, don't you have something in your heart that you can't see through?~"Me?" Zhou Zhou Xian didn't look back, still staring at the bright moon in the distant sky, and after a while, he only heard him say lightly, "Since I am still wandering in this world, I also have thoughts that I can't see through." "Oh, what's it?"

Zhou Zhou Xian smiled slightly and said, "I can't see through it, it's this reincarnation!"

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak

For a long time, there are only women on the small bamboo peak, so the atmosphere here has always been quiet and peaceful, it is the day, and it is also a long silence, only the fragrance of birds and flowers, echoing on this beautiful peak.

However, since Master Shuiyue returned from the funeral of Dazhu Peak with a group of flutes yesterday, the atmosphere on Xiaozhu Peak is calm, and it is still a little solemn and depressed. Many of the young Xiaozhufeng female flutes saw the loneliness and sadness that Master Shuiyue couldn't hide for the first time, and with her current practice, she should have stopped her anger a long time ago.

Wen Min has always been the one who understands Master Shuiyue's mind the most, and she also passed the message to her sisters early, asking them to pay attention to proportion, especially not to talk and laugh loudly, while angering the master, under such advice, Xiaozhu Peak is naturally solemn.

And after returning from the Great Bamboo Peak, Master Shuiyue locked himself in the Bamboo Forest Essence House and never showed up again. Wen Mindeng's disciple had the courage to go to greet him, but he was not allowed to enter, which made Wen Min a little worried.

On this day, Wen Min had not seen Master Shuiyue come out of the Bamboo Forest Essence House for a day and a night, and he was anxious, so he asked Lu Xueqi to come with him. Lu Xueqi looked in a bad mood and was reluctant to come, but she couldn't withstand Wen Min's persuasion, and she was also worried about points, so she followed Wen Min over.

Wen Min and Lu Xueqi came to this bamboo forest, standing outside the house, Wen Min made a color to Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi hesitated, walked up, knocked lightly, and said, "Master, disciple Lu Xueqi and Senior Sister Wen have something to visit." There was silence in the ashram, and no one answered.

Lu Xueqi and Wen Min glanced at each other, Wen Min frowned, and the worry on his face was even heavier. In fact, in terms of Master Shuiyue's temperament, Ben is also a little different from ordinary people, in the past, he didn't say that he was such a non-answering disciple, even if he suddenly disappeared for a few days, there were also some. But for some reason, Wen Min and the others had just returned from Da Zhufeng's funeral, and they had somewhat learned a little about the inside reasons, so they seemed to be a little sensitive to her actions.

Wen Min coughed, raised his voice slightly, and said, "Master, this morning, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, the elders, sent someone to send a letter here, and the disciple presented it. Inside the house, it was still sunk, Wen Min took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed open the door of the house. Lu Xueqi followed closely behind her and also walked in.

The two walked into the house, glanced at it, and the two eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, the fine house was not very big, and the furnishings in the house were simple, at a glance, but the two of them did not see the figure of Master Shuiyue, Wen Min sighed, and said, "Master is not here, I don't know where her old man will go?" Lu Xueqi shook her head silently, pondered for a moment, and said: " Senior sister, let's go back first, or sure enough, we are too worried, although Master and Uncle Su Ru have a deep relationship, but at most they are sad, I don't think anything will happen. Wen Min nodded and said, "That's it, but I'm always a little uneasy in my heart." Lu Xueqi sighed lightly, shook her head slightly, turned around and walked out. Wen Min glanced inside the room again, then took out a sealed letter from his bosom, gently placed it on the desk, and then walked out as well. Moments later, she closed the door from behind her, making a soft pop.

In the middle of the room, there was silence again.
