Chapter 17: The Appearance of All Living Beings [2]
It's a wonderful world.
There are three stars around this world, and each round of stars shines on this world for four months in a year, and when each of the three stars shines on this side of the world for four months, it is the end of the year.
There are the bluest seas and beaches in the heavens and all worlds, there are no vast continents, only small islands as bright as diamonds scattered in this blue world, the sky is blue, there are red suns, blue suns, purple suns shining on this world.
There is fine white sand everywhere, which is a white sand that has never been seen in other worlds, and it is not seen anywhere else.
The roaring shuttle of the two realms, undulating on the islands, the seats are limited, and it is difficult to find a ticket, and countless people are gathered in the place where the shuttle rises and falls, eager to get a ticket to leave this world.
Because in that starry sky, you can see a terrible darkness stained with endless sins slowly spreading, like a drop of ink, dripping on the canvas.
On the largest island in the world, there is a courtyard, carved railings and stones, vines crawling all over the old brick walls, three turns and a courtyard, there is a pond under the courtyard, there are a few goldfish, and there are a few pale pink oleanders planted by the pond, which have long passed the flowering period, but they still bloom vigorously, and they have fallen into a place of pink, falling in the pond, and being chased by a few goldfish.
There was a sandalwood table in the court, and there sat an old man, with a clear face, his gray hair was meticulously lost, but his cheeks, which were originally ruddy, were a little pale, and looked withered and old.
The old man is holding a chess game in one hand, there are black and white chess pieces on the table, and he is playing a chess game alone.
"Master, it's time to leave. ”
A young man with a lofty appearance, his face was full of perseverance, but his breath was a little unstable. During the walk, it seemed that some power was out of control, and he stepped on the bluestone and vines.
The old man waved his hand, looked at the chess game intently, dropped a piece casually, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction, raised his head, and looked at the young man. "Let's go. I was too lazy to move. ”
"Master. ”
The young man immediately became excited, "The Desolate Demon has destroyed the Three Mountains Realm and is coming towards the Chalk Realm. If you don't leave, you won't be able to go. ”
"Let's go. I have taught you all that should be taught, and I have preached what I should have passed on to you. ”
The old man spoke very slowly, his breath was a little disordered, and his speech was a little faster. will cough violently.
"Don't trust anyone else. People in the Great Zen world, don't believe it either. The Great Zen Sage, this person, hum. Characters who kill their own disciples are not a good thing. Raise your own eyes a little more. Don't be fooled by them. ”
The old man looked at the young man and said slowly.
"This catastrophe is not something that can be ended by one or two people, or in a hundred or two hundred years. Things you have to do. It's to live longer than others, a little longer. When the time comes, check it out again. You will find out that this is actually what it is. ”
The old man stood up and stretched out his hand, but the hand that could cover the sky and the sun was trembling a little at this moment, and slowly sorted out the clothes for the young man, "Go ahead." Get out of here, lie dormant quietly, and the world to come will be yours. ”
"Master. ”
The young man grabbed the old man's hand hard, "You passed on all your cultivation to me." Now it's my turn to protect you, and even if no one can resist the demons, at least I'll protect you to the end. ”
The old man just smiled and waved his hand, "I passed on my cultivation to you, just because I didn't want to leave, and I didn't want my cultivation to be buried like this." ”
"Let's go. I'm old and don't want to move anymore. I've lived here for so long that I don't want to leave. The old man stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly along the courtyard.
"No matter how good other places are, there are no vines, no fish, no peaches, no white sand that can be seen everywhere. I was born here, and I deserve to die here. ”
The old man glanced at the young man, "You go, if you don't leave, it's really too late." ”
"Master, if you don't leave, I won't leave either. ”
The boy knelt down, his voice firm.
"Somebody will die, somebody will live. You think it's sad that I'm staying? You're wrong, if you can't stop him, death, but liberation, and living, is sadness. ”
The old man looked at the young man, "When I accepted you as a disciple, I saw the courage in you, the courage to live, so don't let me down, with their hope, with my strength, live well." ”
The young man was silent, silently kowtowed to the old man three times, pushed the door open, and walked away without looking back, he knew that this was goodbye, and he couldn't turn back, and when he turned back, he no longer had the courage to go forward.
"Seeing him rise up a tall building, watching him feast guests, seeing that the building collapsed, and a white world fell, so clean!" The old man sat down in the courtyard again, sang a few words, stretched out his hand to shake the oleander, watched the pink peach blossoms fall, and was pecked by the goldfish, and suddenly laughed, raised his head, and looked at the sky.
"Forest famine. The old man is waiting for you. ”
......
At the corner of the courtyard, the horizontal rows of red bricks and green tiles, in the quiet alley, the soft white sand is paved in the alley, there are three or two pieces of ginkgo biloba that grow very well, the size of a child's palm, playing Xuan'er falling, the third to the bottom, the door is open, and the shirtless man is sharpening his knife.
The knife is a firewood knife that has not been used for a long time, it is an ordinary family, and there is no magic weapon treasure knife, the man who has been fishing for generations, drank three bowls of wine, sat for a night, and began to sharpen the knife as soon as the day dawned.
I heard that the world is very chaotic, there are very powerful demon gods who want to destroy the world, the wealthy lose their voices, the strong flee at night, the most humble fishermen, can't afford to buy a ticket to leave this world, watching the mother-in-law go to the dilapidated temple with the child, begging for a signature, begging for blessings, buying some incense and candles, setting up a shrine at home, and believing in the god of Raushzi who has never heard of his ancestors.
The man didn't speak, he just sharpened the knife, the firewood knife handed down from his ancestors, it was not good enough to kill people, and the chopping wood was a little dull, and by the blue seawater, he sharpened and sharpened, and it became white and cold.
The man stretched out his hand and touched the blade of the knife, which was not a hair-picking or hair-breaking, but he could still make a hole in his hand, and he shed some blood, which was red, not much different from the blood of those dead fish who had to jump a few times after being entangled in the net.
The man stopped, held the firewood knife in his hand, turned around and entered the house, and saw that the mother-in-law and the child were still crying and worshipping some god, so the man walked over silently and kicked down the temple.
"What are you going to do! What are you going to do!"
The mother-in-law cried, made trouble, and blushed when she passed the door, but for the first time, she was anxious, pinching and biting, as if the temple was her life, and she wanted to fight with the man.
The man didn't care about her, just squatted down, touched his son's head, and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"
The child is not very old and doesn't understand it very well, but when he heard the man ask, he still nodded, and said in a childish voice: "Don't be afraid!"
The man laughed, hugged the mother-in-law and the child tightly, slashed the sharpened firewood knife in his hand on the shrine, and said loudly: "What are you crying about, what are you asking for." The knife is sharpened, who wants our family's life, ask me if the knife will agree!"
The man's idea is simple and simple, who makes me unable to live, who wants the life of my family, what god you are, what demon you are, it is the sky, and it is also a firewood knife to cut down, so bloody that you can't break this day!
......
After the alley to the east, walk through the green weeds ditch that has accumulated for many years, a few stubble of wheat seedlings, verdant and dripping, an old man leaned on the ridge of the field, knocked on the tobacco bag, looked at the sky, looked at the wheat seedlings with some distress, and said: "This wheat seedling grows really well, this year's harvest should be good." ”
"I said, old man, when have you been still taking care of what you have in the field? ”
My wife walked out with a sad face, her eyes were a little red and swollen, like a walnut, and she had obviously just cried again.
"What can be done? It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, just let him go. ”
The old man smiled, lit his cigarette pouch, and smoked again.
"To put it simply, I heard that the desolate demon is everywhere, and not a single grass grows, and it will never be able to be transcended. Why don't I go get a shrine and worship that god?"
My wife asked.
"Hold your feet temporarily, you really want to go to heaven. ”
The old man shook his head, "That's it." I'm going to buy a fish, get some meat, make it better tonight, finish eating, and go to bed. When you wake up tomorrow, you will continue to work, and if you can't wake up, you will continue to sleep. ”
The wife watched the old man copy his hands and staggered away, then stood up, "This old thing." Then I'll have to get some hot sauce. If you can't make hot sauce fish, it's time to quarrel with me again. ”
......
Along the ridge of the field all the way to the west, until the seaside, there is a tide observation building, there is a swordsman in the building, is a famous genius in the chalk world in the last 30 years, known as the sword boy, watching the sea tide, understanding the white clouds, swordsmanship through the gods.
"Childe. It's time for you to leave. ”
The maid who has served by her side since she was a child held the shape, walked into the tide viewing building, and choked up.
The sword boy didn't speak, he was handsome in white, with a sword in front of him, very spiritual, swinging quietly to the beat of the tide.
The maid thought that Jian Gongzi didn't hear it, so she stepped forward and gently put on her cloak for Jian Gongzi, "I heard that it's a little cold over there, when you leave, wear more." You have to take care of yourself without me. ”
As she spoke, the maid lowered her head unconsciously, and her cheeks were a little cold.
"I thought that when I survived the two tribulations of heaven and earth and achieved the position of a great sage, I would marry you. ”
Jian Gongzi spoke slowly, turned around, and gently hugged the maid, "Now I can only advance, I can't marry you under the watchful eye, will you blame me?"
And the maid wept, and wept.
"Don't cry. My cultivation in this life is not as good as Lin Huang, but fortunately, I am luckier than him, at least you are by my side. ”
Jian Gongzi laughed, laughing extremely happily, as if he had won a game against Lin Huang.
"Today, I'm going to marry you. Then, the hand of the holding son, either ascend together or sink together. ”
"But Childe, you can leave. ”
"You're here, I'm not going anywhere. ”

Now each chapter is very painful to write, and the lower part is not easy to write, and it is much more difficult to write than the outline I originally set. Ask for a commuter pass and be comforted.
