Chapter 173: A Change of Heart
As the old lady's voice continued, An Yi finally figured out why she didn't let Zhao Bin learn the Tao, and summed it up without calling out four words: "Inheritance".
Succession was the first major human event in ancient times, and it has not changed even in modern times, which shows its importance.
As the saying goes, "no one can be a home, no home can be a country", if no one in the world knows how to give birth and raise, then even the human race will be gone.
As soon as the human race is wiped out, humanity will disappear immediately, so after the old lady moved out of the matter of "passing on the ancestry", An Yi immediately kept silent and waited for the old lady to take over.
At this time, the old lady seemed to turn her heart, and after a long sigh, she said: "What the Taoist chief said just now is the words of gold and stone, and the heart of the Taoist is really the heart of heaven and earth. Now the Taoist chief has taught her, and her heart has been clear, since the child has such a background and fate, the foolish woman cannot delay his future for her own selfishness. Since the child has worshiped the Taoist as a teacher, he is the disciple of the Taoist master. The Taoist is kind enough to cultivate children, and my mother and son should also feel inexhaustible. Even if the deceased husband knows underground, he will definitely be very grateful. But 'licking the selfishness of the calf, the sage is inevitable', the foolish woman just wants to ask the chief, do you want to take my son around the world, if so, I don't know when I will have to come back?"?
An Yi was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this old lady to be explained by him so easily. To be honest, he thought that it would take a lot of talk, or that the old lady would have to hesitate for a few more days, but he really didn't expect that he would be able to make sense of it in a few words?
An Yi went through what he said in his mind from beginning to end, and couldn't help but maliciously wonder if this old lady was the last paragraph. One man attained the way. Mother and Son Ascension'.
Immortality has been around since ancient times. The biggest ** in the world. The old lady didn't realize it early or late, but at this time she "realized", and she really had that suspicion. However, these were not important, so An Yi just turned around in his mind, shook off this boring thought, and turned to look at Zhao Bin.
At this time, Zhao Bin looked stunned, and he didn't seem to have gotten rid of what his mother had just said, and he probably didn't expect it. His mother would have agreed so quickly.
An Yi shook his head helplessly, and was about to wake up Zhao Bin, but the corner of his eye swept to the old lady, but he was suddenly stunned.
I saw that in the dim candlelight, the old lady was dyed with hoarfrost, her face was wrinkled, and she leaned weakly on the chair, her feet slightly curled up. It's like a helpless left-behind old man, with a kind of loneliness in isolation. Especially the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, I don't know when. A teardrop popped up.
Teardrops rolled, in the dimly lit room. It looked so cloudy, flowing over the old lady's wrinkled cheeks, and the wrinkles led to a tortuous tear stain. Like a bolt of lightning, fierce, it fell on the comfortable heart.
Once upon a time, he also had a mother who loved him in every way, and once upon a time, he also had a father who was strict and kind to him.
But I don't know when, the qiē and the qiē have gone away with the death of the two closest relatives. Buried deep in his heart, he didn't even remember himself......
Is it cold-hearted, or is there resentment in the heart?
It is caused by a cold heart, and there is resentment in his heart, and he complains that his parents have died, leaving him alone and helpless. Or is it a cold heart caused by resentment in my heart? Bo Tianxia would rather live up to me, and I am ruthless.
Faintly, two blurred faces appeared in front of An Yi's eyes. With a smile and a pamper, they floated quietly in mid-air, quietly, watching him.
Heaven and earth, it seems, at this moment, lost all sound.
An Yi looked up, raised his head and looked seriously, but the next moment, he suddenly appeared, these two faces were so blurred. It was so vague that even he could only recognize himself by feeling.
Familiar, yet strange......
A comfortable heart slowly sank.
It turns out that before you know it, so much time has passed. In a long time, he has begun to forget, and in a long time, he has changed.
From a child with a happy family, to a single-parent family, until finally, he became a loner. From an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, he has become a cultivator who travels all over the world.
In this, there are stories closely separated, but behind the stories, there is a hidden sadness that is not enough for outsiders.
Why is he adrift in the world, why is he willing to sit and enjoy the glitz?
If it weren't for too many lights and wine to make people tired, then only after experiencing endless wind and rain would people become vicissitudes.
The room, unconsciously, fell silent......
In this silence, there were only burning candles, sprinkled with faint light, and from time to time, there was a "beep" popping sound, and with drops of scarlet wax, like blood and tears, slowly sliding down.
Zhao Bin came back to his senses at this time, looked at the two who fell into silence, and for some reason, his heart suddenly emptied, and he couldn't say it. Especially when he saw the tears on his mother's face, he felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help shouting:
"Mother......
The old lady woke up instantly, wiped away the tears on her face, and looked up at Zhao Bin again, but showed a smile, but in this smile, there were a few wisps of bitterness.
"My son, since you have decided, go with the Dao Master...... the old lady said softly.
"Poof!"
I saw Zhao Bin kneeling down violently, kneeling in front of the old lady's knees, with tears hidden in his eyes, and said: "Mother, the child is not going, the child is at home with you......"
Tears of relief rolled out of the old lady's eyes, raised her hand to caress Zhao Bin's cheek, wiped away the tears on his face, and said with a forced smile: "Silly boy, isn't cultivating the Tao your greatest wish all along......?
Before the old lady finished speaking, Zhao Bin suddenly turned to comfort and said with tears: "Master, I implore Master to be gracious, and the apprentice is willing to serve his mother and follow him for life." If there is a fairy fate, I will wait for my mother to talk about it after a hundred years. At this time, I ask Master to forgive me and give my disciple a few decades of vacation temporarily......"
The voice stopped abruptly, Zhao Bin raised his head, looking at Anyi, his face was dull. The old lady was puzzled by her son's expression, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at Zhao Bin's gaze.
I saw An Yi at this time, the figure sitting on the chair seemed to have become illusory, giving people a feeling that they were close in front of them, but far away in the sky. Especially those eyes, looking at the void in front of them lightly, there seems to be no landing point, and it seems that every place is a landing point, but it is not weird.
The figure nested deep in the chair floats with a kind of temperament, like an antique that has gone through thousands of generations, sprinkled with a rotten and dusty atmosphere.
It was this breath that attracted their attention tightly, making them unable to bear to move away and dare not disturb. Just so quietly, looking at comfort.
At this time, the old lady said to An Yi before, she was already at the age of sixties, and she had begun to believe it. For some reason, she felt that the "teenager" in front of her had experienced a lot more than she had experienced.
Zhao Bin looked at An Yi in a daze, and seemed to have a thousand words for a while, but he just opened his mouth, and closed it unconsciously, unable to say anything.
Just when the two of them were stunned, An Yi suddenly looked at him, and instantly had a focal length.
first glanced at Zhao Bin plainly, but did not speak, turned his head and nodded to the old lady, then turned back and said: "Zhao Bin, what choice do you make, the poor road will not interfere in any way, whether it is to accompany your mother to Chenghuan's knees, or to travel the world with the poor road, this qiē lies in your heart." But I only have one thing to ask you, have you ever wondered why you are so devoted to Taoism, and even abandon the words of Confucius? ”
Zhao Bin was stunned for a moment, a confused look appeared in his eyes, and he asked himself in his heart. An Yi was not in a hurry at all, looking at Zhao Bin with a flat gaze, waiting for him to answer.
He asked casually, and perhaps had other thoughts, but even he didn't know it himself. I just vaguely realized that this point was not so much asking Zhao Bin as asking myself.
Ask yourself, why do you not give up loneliness and keep persevering on this long road of cultivation.
But he couldn't find the answer, so he asked Zhao Bin.
I don't know how long it took, the confusion on Zhao Bin's face finally dissipated, and gradually, his eyes began to brighten. He looked up at Anyi, and his expression was clear.
"Returning to the master, the disciple thinks that although the study of Confucius is the right way to enter the WTO, his words are approachable and can be used as a role model. However, the wonderful meaning of birth is still in Laojun's "Tao Te Ching", everyone learns it, and it will be ruled for ten thousand years, and there will never be chaos. This is the most reasoned thing that our generation should obey. Although the disciples are young, they also know that there is only one Tao within heaven and earth, and outside heaven and earth. There is no other way outside this way, and there is no other way within this way. The way of eternal life and the way of salvation are only in this. Heaven does not give birth to me, Zhao Bin has already given birth to a disciple, and the disciple vows to introduce all beings in the world into the Great Dao together!"
An Yi's expression froze, but he never expected Zhao Bin to answer like this.
How difficult is it to introduce the world of living beings into the Great Dao? Don't say that he, even Lao Jun and Buddha don't have that ability, let alone a mere Zhao Bin?
However, thinking that he was an immortal, and at this time, he had not been exposed to the Tao, so it was natural for him to have such a will.
But unfortunately, it is not what he is pursuing......
An Yi sighed quietly, glanced at Zhao Bin lightly, waved his hand and said, "Well, since you have such ambitions, you won't say anything as a teacher." But since you have decided to serve your mother first......"
"Don't listen to children's nonsense. The old lady suddenly interrupted at this time: "Since Xiao'er has worshiped the Taoist elder as a teacher, he has absolutely no reason to regret it. In the past, the foolish woman did not know the practice, and she delayed the child, so he was now like this, determined to be firm, but his actions were procrastinating. But now that the foolish woman has come to her senses, how can she delay his future any longer. It must be better for the child to be by the side of the immortal master than to be by the side of the fool, and the fool is also very relieved. It is to decide for the child, and he will practice with the Taoist leader, and he can start his journey on the same day. This is true, and this heart is not violated. Hugh said that for twenty years, even if it is fifty or sixty years, seventy or eighty years, if the child does not practice well and fails to learn the Tao, he will be a rebel who is not filial, and even if he comes back, he vows not to see each other!"
"Mother-" Zhao Bin knelt in front of the old lady's knees, hugged her knees and cried bitterly. (To be continued!)
