A long time ago, a walker came from the West. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

His hair was slumped, his face was withered, and he seemed to be in danger of falling to the ground at any moment, never to wake up again.

But he had deep eyes, like stars that had shone since time immemorial.

He walked for a long time, from west to east, from one end to the other.

Yes, he is looking for the end.

Not the end of the road, nor the end of the continent.

Rather, the end of the heart, the end of the pursuit, the end of doubt, and the end of the Tao.

Along the way, he trekked through mountains and rivers, and experienced wind and rain......

No hardships and obstacles, any demons and monsters, failed to stop him, and they also failed to trap him.

He didn't know why he was going east, but he felt that his destiny should be in the east.

Maybe he will finally go to the place where he is destined to be, and then he will be puzzled, and from then on he will be separated from the void and think of eternity;

Perhaps he will not reach the end after all, and he will die on the way, turning into a carrion corpse to be eaten by wild dogs;

However, he still has no turning back and is indomitable.

He forgot his name, his identity, the past, the present, and the future.

He only remembered to walk, and he could only walk, and he vaguely knew that he was a walker.

Walkers, boundless, so why is there an end?

He didn't know, but perhaps what he was looking for was the answer to that question.

years, trampled under his feet, walked for a year, ten years, a hundred years......

He went from young, to old, to dying.

One day, he came to a barren mountain and a dense forest.

The surrounding darkness almost overwhelmed him, he was tired, he sat on a high cliff, looked at the other side of the flying stream that seemed to fall from the nine heavens, and listened to the sound of the flowing water crashing on the stones below the cliff, and he smiled.

"What are you laughing at. I don't know when, there was a Taoist with crane hair and a childish face sitting next to him.

The walker said, "I laughed?"

The old Taoist nodded: "You smiled." ”

The walker also nodded: "Yes, I smiled." ”

Old Taoist: "This is not the end. ”

The walker said, "No, it's too. ”

The old Taoist shook his head: "No." ”

The walker looked at the old Taoist and said with a smile, "How do you know if it's not?"

The old Taoist was silent.

No one asked.

The two were silent, looking at the waterfall opposite.

The walker said: "A cave behind the waterfall. ”

The old Taoist nodded: "That's my home." ”

"Your family?" said the walker in surprise.

Old Taoist: "However, I'm leaving now." ”

The traveler was puzzled: "The mountains and rivers here are just right, why do you leave home?"

The old Taoist looked at the walker: "Then why did you leave home?"

There was a hint of sadness on the walker's face, "I don't have a home. ”

The old Taoist smiled: "Then this is your home." ”

The walker smiled, shook his head, and said, "Not here. ”

The old Taoist waved his hand and said, "Don't deny it first." Let me ask you, what is home?"

The walker said: "The dwelling of the heart, the place of the soul." ”

The old Taoist smiled and said nothing.

The walker said: "My heart is undecided. ”

The old Taoist asked, "Why not?"

The walker said, "What I was looking for, I haven't found it yet." ”

The old man asked, "What are you looking for?"

The walker said, "The end." ”

"The end?" the old man was puzzled.

The walker said earnestly, "Yes, I want to find the end." I have been a monk since I was a child, and Master told me that everything has no end to everything. I don't understand, since there is no end, then why learn. Master said that the infinite is not endless. I asked him where the end was, and Master didn't say, just asked me to find it myself. ”

The old Taoist smiled, "You think that the endless is the endless?"

The walker asked, "Isn't it?"

The old Taoist broke off: "Of course not. ”

The walker asked, "What is that boundless?"

The old Taoist said: "The bitter sea is endless, and turning back is the shore." If there is no end and there is no end, then where does the shore come from?"

The walker was stunned: "The shore, you mean the other side?"

Old Taoist: "No matter the other side, or this shore." Where there is a shore, then there is an end. ”

The walker said: "I have searched for countless years and walked through countless places, but I have not found the end. ”

The old Taoist smiled, pointed to the walker's chest, and said, "The end is not outside, but inside." ”

The walker frowned, "You're talking about the heart?"

The old Taoist nodded, and then asked, "What do you think is home?"

The walker doesn't understand.

The old Taoist asked again: "What is the dwelling place of the heart and the place of the soul?"

The walker did not answer.

The old Taoist said: "You have walked from west to east, and you have traveled all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but your heart has not walked. ”

The walker looked at the old Taoist: "Distracted?"

The old Taoist said: "Walking all over the mountains and rivers is just vain, and I am used to seeing everything in the world, but it is ordinary." ”

The walker was silent.

The old Taoist slowly stood up, went down the high cliff, rode a green ox, and walked slowly.

The walker is thinking about how the heart should go.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was no answer, but he was very tired and tired.

The long journey crushed his body.

Suddenly, he wanted to fall asleep.

And he never woke up from this sleep, until he fell asleep like a stone.

......

......

I don't know how many years have passed, the world has gone through vicissitudes, but the stone is still there.

It feels the essence of the sun and the moon every day, moves in the rain, sounds in the wind, hears the thunder and is happy, and sleeps in the light......

Within a few years, it gradually grew up, like a giant beast lying on its stomach.

Suddenly, one day, there was an old Taoist in the middle of the air who stepped on the rainbow, and accidentally lowered his eyebrows and saw this stone, and his heart couldn't help but involve a past, so he pressed the cloud head and fell to the stone.

At this time, the mountain was quite magnificent and splendid, and it was not what he looked like when he practiced in the past. Fortunately, the waterfall was still there, and he recognized it.

However, there are many beasts and birds in the mountains who have been bequeathed by him, enlightened their spiritual senses, and can speak to people.

The old Taoist saw that some monkeys were always playing on the side of the boulder, and he was curious for a moment, so he pinched the boulder.

I saw that this boulder is transparent like jade, about three zhang six feet five inches high, two zhang four feet around the circle, there are nine orifices and eight holes, there are Ganoderma lucidum and rare grasses everywhere, but there is also a weather.

After some calculation, the old Taoist couldn't help but be a little frightened, the origin of this stone is not trivial.

Although this stone has not been formed for a long time, it is the innocent show of absorbing the mountains and rivers here, and it is full of the essence of the sun and the moon.

"It's kind of interesting. The old Taoist smiled, patted his hand on the stone, and said, "I also met you in my previous life in the past, and it was fate. Today, I'll give you some more help. ”

After speaking, the old Taoist suddenly took out a small golden ball like an embroidered stone fruit from his arms, and poked it into the immortal cells in the boulder with a poke of his hand.

"There is nothing in the world, but the heart ape is difficult to subdue. The old Taoist smiled, smoothed out the poked finger holes, and said with a smile: "The old Taoist will give you an immortal and incorruptible heart, and you will see what you can do in the future." The Three Realms have been lonely for a long time, and it should be a little turbulent. ”

The old Taoist looked up to the sky and laughed, turned into a flying rainbow, and broke through the air.
