Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Demon of the Heartless Heart
Yuan Lai followed the aroma of the scroll and came to the old and slightly sad courtyard, Alan was sitting on the small bench at the door, slightly distracted, as if thinking about something, but the deep sadness inadvertently climbed up his brows.
Yuan Lai sighed softly, but didn't say anything comforting, just sat silently next to Alain, thinking about things while accompanying him.
Suddenly, Alan opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Yuan, do you know what that thing is?"
When he said this, Alain's voice trembled slightly, and at the same time, his face trembled slightly, his teeth clenched, and his muscles shrugged slightly, but the slight changes made this elegant face very cold, with a little regret, with a little hatred.
Yuan Lai was still thinking about his own affairs, but he didn't turn his head and said: "Those are the Phaseless Heart Demons, the name is uncertain, these things are amorphous, and they don't need form at all, they can't even be regarded as a kind of material life, in the words of the Daomen, these things exist in the Great Dao." ”
Yuan Lai paused and continued: "Speaking of which, I have to mention the metaphysics and avenues of Taoism. You can understand Xuan as the specific existence of the Great Dao, in fact, the Great Dao is the operating rules and principles of everything in the world, and Xuan exists in everything, it has no specific material manifestation, but it is indeed everywhere, just like your thinking consciousness, you can't describe it with specific things, but 'you' really exist.
"The same is true of Xuan, and these phaseless demons are similar to Xuan's existence, they are different from Xuan in that these things have their own consciousness, although they can't be said to be so-called good and evil, but they do have great hostility to human beings, and even most Daoxiang life.
"Dao life is a life like us, with a concrete existence, we contain the Dao, and the Tao also contains us. And those beings can become Dao Yuan lifeforms, they themselves can be called a kind of Dao, they are part of the rules of the world, independent of the Great Dao, and at the same time rely on the Great Dao to survive.
"These beings silently sneak into the spiritual platform of human beings or other beings, or the heart, like a dove occupying a magpie's nest, slowly devouring the host's life, soul, and even the physical body, or rather, not devouring, but changing, changing this physical body into a 'home' suitable for their own habitation, this process is not very long, as short as ten days, as long as a month, after the end of the person's words and deeds are the same as before, and outsiders can hardly see the difference. “
Yuan Lai sighed slightly, saying so much, such a large amount of information also made Alan a little shocked, these secrets are unknown to ordinary people, and even if they do, it is difficult to understand. Because, if we want to recognize the difference between the original life of the Tao and the life of the Tao, we must first understand the definition of the Tao.
But Alain didn't understand what the Tao was at all, he only knew you, me, and him (him), he didn't care what the difference between those things and himself and others was, but he knew that Xingzi's death was because of these ghosts. So he really wants to take revenge, but he doesn't know how to take revenge, kill all these things?
Alain didn't think it was right, but he didn't know what was right.
Alain took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, no matter what, he must first become stronger, knowledge, strain, cultivation, perseverance...... Wait, these are the things he lacks.
"Uncle Yuan, can you help me become stronger? I don't want to see the second star again, die in front of me, but I can't do anything. Alan said in a low voice, Yuan Lai finally turned his head slightly, nodded, and agreed to the matter.
The two entered the room, ready to call the other three, and when they walked to Zhou Bulong's room, Alan suddenly found that the room was empty and there was no one.
A piece of rice paper lay quietly on the ground, and Alain picked it up, and it read:
Lord Alan Shi, by the time you read this letter, I should have already left Mojing, and along the way, the poor monk has benefited a lot, thank you again.
Xingzi's death made me understand that my compassion is only a small compassion, Zhizhou, Luzhou, along the way, I feel more and more the shallowness of my Dharma.
Only great compassion, can save the suffering, this trip goes, I don't know the return day, if there is a reunion, travel with the Mid-Autumn Festival, traversing Kyushu does not return.
- Universal Energy
After reading it, Alain pursed his lips, but he didn't know what to say, but he felt that the smell of the books in the room was thicker, and the sound of birds and birds outside was clearer.
