Chapter 26 The road of life, asking what the immortals in the world are

(Girls' Literature) Hearing Lao Dao's words that seemed to be proud of the world, but had infinite meaning, Lin Chen's heart was shocked, and the expression on his face changed several times, as if he was gradually enlightened, and he was a little confused, and he was speechless for a while.

He silently looked at the eight water characters that walked the dragon and snake, flowing slowly, the water trails gradually faded, and finally became a puddle of water traces, and he could no longer see the original traces.

All living beings, thousands of red dust, who can see this turbid world?

Zhang Banxian ate and drank to his heart's content, shook the little wine jug left in his hand, his face seemed to be a little drunk, his eyebrows were still unruly, and he commanded the big black dog on the side, his white beard sleeves were stained with a little grease, a little sloppy and funny, but for some reason, this old way looks like he has a deep and lofty bearing at this moment, and it is indescribably tall.

After a while, Lin Chen put down the wine glass, picked up the wine jug in front of him, poured a full cup for Lao Dao, looked at Zhang Banxian deeply and said: "The predecessor has played the world, and his knowledge is extraordinary, but the kid was slacking off in the past." ”

Zhang Banxian closed his eyes slightly, glanced at him, picked up the wine glass, shook his head, put it down again, and said angrily: "Your cup of wine, the old man is not blessed, and when the people from Shushan come with a sword, won't he be wronged." ”

Lin Chen smiled faintly, and didn't care, and said, "I don't know where my predecessors will go from now on?"

Zhang Banxian stroked his white beard, and with an indescribable elegant fairy style, he smiled and said, "Naturally, I will continue to benefit the people of the world." ”

The little girl on the side sneered, and finally couldn't help but interject: "Grandpa, didn't you say last night that you had earned enough money in the past few months, and you were afraid that those people on Luofu would not be able to suppress those monsters, so you have to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible?"

Zhang Banxian's old face flushed, glared at her, and said, "You girl is too talkative, if you don't leave here, aren't you afraid of eating those monsters!"

Ming Ruo frowned and said, "There are so many people in the Xuanmen, can't you still accept a demon?"

Zhang Banxian sighed and said, "Demon, stupid girl, that's not a demon" Halfway through the words, he glanced thoughtfully at Lin Chen, who was silent on the side, and didn't continue.

Mingruo's face was bitter, and he said, "Then where are we going this time?"

Zhang Banxian smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his granddaughter's head, and said proudly: "Grandpa, I have already calculated, this time I will go to the west, there is Kunlun Town guarding there, if those monsters can't hold back and rush out, they will definitely find the most popular place, that is, the land of Shuzhong in the East, and it can be said that the safest place today is the West." ”

Ming Ruo curled his mouth, as if he couldn't get used to seeing his grandfather's Dese, he glanced at Banxian, turned his head away, and said to Lin Chen: "Brother Lin, what about you?"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't have a good place to go, but I think I'll go to Luofu to have a look." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Banxian and Ming Ruo's faces changed, especially the little girl, who said anxiously: "Brother Lin, don't go to Fanyin Temple, now all the righteous people in the world are in Luofu Mountain, otherwise how dare grandpa be so blatant to tell fortunes here in Luoyang."

Zhang Banxian took a sip of wine, but before he could swallow it, he almost choked to death on his granddaughter's words, coughed a few times, and said angrily: "What is blatant, grandpa, I am a celestial, a Buddha in ten thousand families, who in Luoyang City does not admire!"

Ming Ruo stuck out his tongue, made a grimace at him, and said: "In that case, then why do you still collect money from those who admire you, and you are collecting more and more every day, especially those who have fled."

Zhang Banxian choked for a moment, snorted, and sneered: "What does the little girl know, the more expensive grandpa collects, it is for their good." ”

Ming Ruo was dumbfounded, and for a while he even forgot his thoughts of persuading Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen remembered the uncle's words, sighed, and said to the little girl: "Under the great calamity, people's hearts are panicked, those people look at fortune telling, but they just ask for peace of mind, the more expensive the predecessors receive, the more their hearts are settled, which is also understandable." ”

A trace of confusion appeared on Mingruo's face, he lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time, he also sighed softly.

Zhang Banxian glanced at Lin Chen, and said leisurely: "You can see clearly, the old man came all the way, the merits are immeasurable, I don't know how many people under the old man's words, reinvigorate their minds, and work hard, those monks and Taoists in Xuanmen will chant Buddha and chant all day long, catch a little demon and little ghost, and take care of themselves Qinggao, indispensable, how can you do the old man to help the world and save the suffering?"

Lin Chen looked at him silently, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he stopped talking.

When I first met this old way, I thought he was just a warlock, even if he had two hands to draw runes, it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but there was always something unexpected, originally that ordinary people listened to it in their ears, it was all a nonsense that fell on him, it was so effective, just a few words written casually, obscure, but like a word, let him have an epiphany, this old way, is it not those legendary masters of the world?

Lin Chen thought in his heart, but seeing that Zhang Banxian seemed to be profound, but he had a philistine look, he finally shook his head, smiled bitterly, and didn't think much about it.

Zhang Banxian looked calm, his face was awe-inspiring, after a drink, he suddenly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bright lights outside, the hustle and bustle of the floating world, was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "This is the second time you know that it is not feasible, why do you want to return to Shushan with a righteous reputation?"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, shook his head and smiled slightly bitterly, and said: "I don't have the salvation feelings of the Taoist Buddhism for Tianxing Dao to purify all sentient beings, what is good and what is evil, I don't know, but I have my own principles, my own bottom line, on Luofu Mountain, there should be people I know, the kindness I once owed, I must repay them one by one, seeing them in danger and indifferent, I can't do it." ”

As he spoke, a figure couldn't help but appear in his heart, on the Qingyun Hall and the Qingyun Dojo, those who were pleading for him, the white clothes were like snow, the senior sisters and sisters who were like relatives, and the Shushan Men who woke him up with a sword burial, how could he forget?

Zhang Banxian slowly turned around, looked at him indifferently, his eyes flashed with a faint essence, and his eyebrows were full of meaningful sighs and sympathy beyond all beings, as if he had seen through the world, and said flatly: "Young man, what are you cultivating for?"

Ming Ruo looked at Zhang Banxian, who had a very different style from weekdays, and a little surprise appeared in his bright eyes, this is the first time he has seen such a grandfather.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know if it was because it was the first time he heard Zhang Banxian call him like this, or because of this familiar voice!

How many people have asked themselves this question since childhood?

Penglai night talk, Shu Dao asked, in the past, whether it was the old man of the medicine king, the mountain god Bi Yan, Yan Jingchen, or the Yuwen brothers and sisters, many people asked themselves this question, and even he often asked himself, what do you want when you enter the path of cultivation.

He looked up at Zhang Banxian, but saw that Lao Dao's gaze at this moment was faintly like two sharp blades stabbing at him, and when he looked at him, his eyes were faintly tingling.

Zhang Banxian didn't speak, just looked at the young man quietly, but seeing that his face was a little confused, his eyes seemed to be a little confused, but after a while, he disappeared, his expression was stoic, his eyes were calm and calm, and he smiled faintly.

"I don't have the heart to transcend sentient beings, nor do I have the attachment to seek immortality, nor do I deliberately pursue any of this question, many people have asked me before, I always say that what I pursue, no one can know, in fact, it is ridiculous, I don't even know what I want, but now, after many lives and deaths, through the ups and downs of life, after some unforgettable life and death separation, I don't want to explore this question anymore. ”

He looked at Lao Dao calmly, his tone low but firm.

"I just want to live my life. ”

Zhang Banxian looked at him deeply, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Why do people come here in their lives, you have already understood, and the old man will not say more, so let's do it for myself." ”

With that, he smiled and walked to the open space outside the temple, looking up at the moon.

Lin Chen silently looked at his back, the sky is infinite, the bright moon shines on people, this old Taoist body bathed in the starlight and moonlight of a day, the breeze is coming, the clothes are fluttering, it is indescribably elegant and dusty, vicissitudes of life.

"The predecessors are free in the world, smiling at the three thousand red dust, in your life, have you ever pursued doubts?"

He couldn't help but ask out loud.

Zhang Banxian was still staring at the sky, not looking back, just a faint voice, floating with the wind.

"No one can jump out of this world, and I naturally have something I can't see through. ”

"What is it?"

"Ask the world, what is the fairy. ”

In the White Horse Temple, there was silence for a while.

The next morning, after a night of silence, the ancient town of Luoyang was rejuvenated, and with a ray of sky light shining on the world, the traces of people gradually rose.

And at this moment, on the lonely ancient road in front of Luoyang City, several figures appeared.

"Senior, let's go goodbye, I don't know when we can meet next time, you take care. Lin Chen looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of him, said with a smile, stroked the head of the big black dog on the side, and turned around and walked in the direction of the Luofu Mountains.

Zhang Banxian nodded, but did not speak, only silently watched the young man leave, and then a little divine light rushed into the sky, drawing a cloud between the clouds and the sky, and disappeared.

The little girl beside Lao Dao, looking at the little light that was gradually disappearing, didn't know why, her heart suddenly felt empty for no reason, her nose was sore, and she was about to shed tears.

She looked at it in a daze, and even Zhang Banxian urged her several times as if she hadn't heard it.

After a long time, she said to her grandfather with red eyes, "Can you see you again?"

Zhang Banxian was silent, but looking at Ming Ruo's sad expression, he sighed after a long while, and said, "That's it, it's okay to have a relationship with this kid, let's go and have a look." ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "Really?"

Zhang Banxian patted her head, a doting smile appeared on his face, and said: "Okay, just watch from afar, fortunately, in this extraordinary period, Fanyin Temple has opened the mountain gate, otherwise we won't be able to go up the mountain." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the faint cloud in the sky that had not yet dissipated, his eyes were a little complicated, and he sighed.

"Girl, let's go. ”
