Everything happened very suddenly, yet so naturally.
In this place of death and silence, thoughts of life and death arise spontaneously, entangled with each other.
How strong the air of death is, how full of life there is.
The two opposing forces surrounded the young man in white, rotating with him as the center, creating a mysterious Taoist rhyme.
This Taoist rhyme is mysterious but has a heavy feeling, interpreting the great road of life and death in the world.
Several ghost cultivators among them seemed to have some enlightenment. A look of determination flashed in their eyes. They slapped the heavenly spirit with one palm and cut off their own vitality. However, surrounded by this rhyme, their souls did not disperse and were reborn and reappeared in the artistic conception of death. It is already a soul body.
Although they lost their bodies, they showed joy.
Several other ghost cultivators also had the same sentiments, but there was a moment of hesitation in their eyes at first. Seeing that their fellow practitioners had committed suicide on the spot, when they got a great opportunity, they no longer hesitated and committed suicide on the spot.
The rhyme surrounded it, but there was no movement. As the life flowed away, it never came back to life.
The young man in white looked at the scene with no joy or sadness. He just felt it carefully and showed satisfaction for a long time.
Most of the ghost cultivators in the field were attracted by his energy and were able to gain insights and make breakthroughs.
Among the ghost cultivators present, some exuded the breath of life, and some exuded the breath of death. Although none of them reached the realm that the young man wanted, they were pretty good.
Suddenly, he let out a light sigh and looked towards a corner.
There, an old man and a young man embody the artistic conception of life and death.
The two opposing forces of life and death were reconciled on them, but they were at a loss, not knowing the changes that had taken place on their bodies, nor the benefits they had received.
Looking at the ghost cultivators who have concentrated their cultivation, their faces have different expressions. Some are happy, some are worrying about gains and losses, some are decisive, some are hesitant... Only the faces of the old and the young show ignorance and confusion. It may also be because of the expressions on their faces that those who claim to have advanced cultivation have completely failed to notice the fate that has befallen them.
"Hahahahahaha!"
The young man in white suddenly raised his head and laughed. His laughter seemed to be mocking, but he also had some understanding, and his eyes shone brightly.
But it turned out that this young man also had doubts in his heart, but apparently his doubts had been answered.
His laughter echoed in this space, forming ripples that spread to the outside world.
The celestial phenomena in Yanzhou were gradually recovering, and the last red light completely dissipated directly in his laughter.
"The road is vast, and it can be controlled."
Heaven and earth are created in an orderly manner with profits and losses, but none of them last long.
Perhaps it was because of the young man's laughter that he was disturbed. When the laughter stopped, the Taoist rhyme disappeared.
Many ghost cultivators present showed expressions of unfinished expression.
This fate allowed them all to gain something, but what they gained was different, big or small.
They looked at the young man in white quietly, with gratitude and longing in their eyes.
They knew that this blessing came from this young man in white whose identity was unknown.
But under their gaze, the young man in white disappeared from the spot. Almost at the same time, he appeared in front of the old man and the young man, looking at them carefully.
"Grandpa...Grandpa..."
The young man looked shocked and held the old man's hand.
The old man was quite calm at first, and did not panic even if the young man in white suddenly appeared in front of them. In his opinion, they were all dead at this time. As souls, they always have some abilities that they did not have when they were alive, so they could not see anything. He was surprised, but when all the ghost cultivators' eyes were focused on him, he could no longer remain calm.
"This... this young master, what do you do for me?"
The young man in white looked at the old man and the young man and said, "Are you a grandfather and a grandson?"
"no no!"
The old man nodded and was about to speak, but the young man had already grabbed his voice and continued under the suspicious looks of the old man and the young man in white, "Grandpa said that we are dead, so we are not the grandfather and grandson, but the grandfather and grandson. "
As soon as these words came out, some people in the audience couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
The old man shook his head helplessly, but looking at the young man and then at the young man in white, he seemed to think there was nothing wrong with what he said, so he nodded again.
The young man in white was overjoyed, but his tone was a little serious. He said to the young man: "What is a human? What is a ghost?"
The young man was stunned when he was asked this question. He opened his mouth to speak. He clearly felt that the question was very simple, but when he wanted to answer, he didn't know how to speak.
"If the living are humans and the dead are ghosts, then what is the living and what is the dead?"
As he spoke, the young man in white looked around, scanning the figures.
"If life means existence and death means death, then why are we here?"
More and more people were lost in thought because of the questions raised by the young man in white. At this time, the young man in white raised his finger and pointed at them and continued: "There are living people and ghosts here. They are all ghost monks. The living people are practicing Yin Qi." And when it comes to cultivation, ghosts absorb yang energy and gather spiritual bodies, people walk on ghost paths, and ghosts wander around human beings. Why are humans and ghosts divided? Why are there boundaries between life and death?"
Several souls trembled and their souls flew away.
The young man in white didn't even look at it, and continued: "When people die, they become ghosts? What's the truth? What is a human? What is a ghost? They can't even clarify the real existence. They just regard the common sense passed down from ancient times as a guideline, and then How do you know that there is right and wrong in reasoning and right and wrong in Tao?”
The young man in white suddenly pointed at someone and said, "How do you know you are a human?"
Turning around suddenly, he pointed at another soul, and the young man in white said, "How do you know you are a ghost?"
All the cultivators had confusion in their eyes.
What the young man in white said was almost contrary to common sense. He seemed to be trying to challenge common sense, but it didn't look like it.
If it were anyone else, they might just think that a mentally disturbed person is talking crazy words, but the young man in white has a tall and majestic image in the minds of these people. He not only brought them a great fortune, but also pointed out the direction of the road, so Everyone was thinking seriously about what he said.
The young man in white looked at the old man and the young man again, focusing on the young man, and said: "You said that you are dead, so you are not human, but ghosts?"
The young man was a little uneasy and nodded.
The young man in white smiled slightly and said, "How did you know that you were not a human but a ghost, but you became a human after death?"
The young man's eyes widened, full of confusion, and even the old man looked shocked.
At this moment, several human ghost cultivators suddenly lost their vitality and fell to the ground, turning into corpses. They still had that thoughtful look on their faces. They seemed to be thinking about something before they were alive, and they lost their vitality after thinking about it. Even their souls completely dissipated, and no one knew how they died, not even themselves.
Compared to others, the old man seemed much more sober. Because he was just an ordinary person and not a cultivator, he was not so easily guided by the voice of the young man in white. But even so, something happened in his heart. A little shaken.
Originally, Yanzhou was as convenient as a place connected to the underworld. Since ancient times, it had been a place where ghost cultivators and ghosts gathered. Living people and ghosts coexisted here regardless of you and me. Some people became ghosts after death, and a few were able to maintain their original appearance. Their memories will continue to exist, and they will continue to have the same life and interpersonal relationships as before. In this case, it really has no sense of reality to say that they are dead.
In particular, the old man and the young man turned into ghosts after starving to death, retaining their memories of their lives and continuing to exist. And in this place, it was only after they died that he felt that their grandfather and grandson were really alive this time. There are no more worries and difficulties that must be overcome to survive, and you can also experience various things that you didn't have the conditions and time to experience before.
If it is explained from this level, the old man also thinks that what the young man in white said makes sense, but it is obvious that the truth said by the young man in white is not the same as what he experienced.
The young man was clever by nature. At this time, he finally turned around, took the old man's arm and asked: "Grandpa, is what big brother said right? We are not ghosts now, but humans?"
The old man's thoughts were also confused at this time, and he said with some uncertainty: "This... I don't know..."
The young man in white chuckled and said: "The secrets of the great road can be understood in one word, but they are still elusive. How can we explain them all in a few words? We are like duckweeds without roots, and we are not enough to bear the weight of the great road. Otherwise, the body will be overwhelmed and only the soul will fly away. fate."
