Cold, suffocating.
The water was extremely dark and the biting coolness made one shudder.
Powerless, weak.
Su Bujin was in a daze. She felt her body sinking continuously, and her body gradually became numb in the cold water.
Su Bujin reluctantly opened his eyes. Apart from everything dark, he couldn't see any light at all.
Hell and heaven, in an instant.
"Are you going to perish?"
At this time, Su Bujin seemed to have returned to before he was twenty years old, back to the time when he had no cultivation and could only be an ordinary person.
That kind of powerlessness, that kind of insignificance as a mortal is something Su Bujin never wants to experience again in his life.
However, now, she can only watch herself sinking into the endless abyss, unable to change anything.
The biting coldness made Su Bujin's consciousness blur quickly. She felt that her brain was about to lose consciousness, and she might not be able to hold on for long.
"Su Bujin, where is your path?"
The disembodied voice sounded again. If Su Bujin hadn't relied on her strong willpower to support her, she would have passed out long ago.
Where is my way?
There it is again.
The disembodied voice only seemed to repeat the question.
What should my way be?
Su Bujin took advantage of the last trace of clarity left in his mind, and Su Bujin asked himself over and over again.
what exactly is it?
As the blur of consciousness worsened, bits and pieces of the past appeared in front of Su Bujin's eyes.
.......
Under the sunset.
Ten-year-old Su Bujin and Emperor Zilong sat side by side on the grass, looking at the setting sun together.
Emperor Zilong admired the sunset seriously, his eyes full of melancholy and emotion.
The ten-year-old Su Bujin had a boring look on her face. She had a piece of grass in her mouth and her eyes were not honest at all. She shook her legs and shook her shoulders from time to time. If it wasn't for the majesty of the Purple Dragon Emperor, she would have acted like a fool. Ran to have fun.
Suddenly, the Purple Dragon Emperor said: "I'm not careful, starting from tomorrow, you can practice spiritual power with Elder Yuan."
When Xiao Su Bujin heard this, his face changed immediately and he quickly said: "No!"
Emperor Zilong said solemnly: "You can't cultivate Qi yet. Cultivating spiritual power is your only way out. Otherwise, will you be idle all day long?"
Xiao Su Bujin muttered in a low voice: "You say it as if I can practice in the future. I really don't understand why you always force me to practice?"
The Purple Dragon Emperor said: "Because you need to understand a truth."
Xiao Su Bujin cut it in a low voice and said: "I talk about great principles every day. If you take out the great principles from your stomach, it will probably weigh more than ten kilograms."
The Purple Dragon Emperor glared at Xiao Su Bujin and said, "What I want to tell you is that men should strengthen themselves!"
When Xiao Su Bujin heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Huh? This has something to do with me. I don't have a penis."
Emperor Zilong said: "I just want you to understand that there is no difference whether you are male or female, old or young, human or demon. If someone wants to kill you one day, it will not be because of your gender or age. It changes depending on factors such as race, strength, and weakness, which is why you need to practice self-improvement."
Xiao Su Bujin laid her head on the grass and said softly: "But I am a freak."
The Purple Dragon Emperor sneered and said: "Freak? Don't put gold on your face. Freaks are pigs with two heads, toads with three legs, etc. What kind of freak are you? You just can't practice yet. "
Xiao Su Bujin curled his lips and said: "Others can practice, but I can't. Why should I do this? It's not reasonable at all. Isn't it said that existence is reasonable?"
The Purple Dragon Emperor said: "No, there are many unreasonable things in this world. Even if they are unreasonable, they still exist. They are born in this world smoothly until they die, and they are no different from ordinary people. This is Because...whether it's reasonable or not, they have a reason to exist in this world."
"And you need to find this reason yourself."
.......
Memories came to mind, and Su Bujin still clearly remembered every word that Emperor Zilong said to him that day.
Aren’t you that irrational existence?
Even if he can't be called a freak, he is still a special being.
So, what is the reason for your existence in this world?
"The reason for my existence..."
Su Bujin slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly, all the emotions he had ever felt came to his heart.
Joy, sorrow, regret, anger, sadness...
At this moment, Su Bujin seemed to understand something, and felt that his whole body had become more transparent.
Su Bujin suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I understand, this world exists because of me."
"oh?"
The disembodied voice suddenly sounded, but this time, he didn't repeat the question.
Just listen to the disembodied voice asking: "The world does not exist because of individuals. This is a well-known thing. Why do you say this? Don't you think your statement is too arrogant?"
Su Bujin said: "I don't mean to be arrogant, I am just telling the facts. All my perceptions of the world are my personal feelings. What is important is not the world, but me. When I live, this world is Existence, if I die, this world will disappear with it, then Tao will no longer exist, in other words..."
Speaking of this, Su Bujin's eyes lit up and he said, "I am the Tao, I am the Tao!"
Tao does not come from heaven or earth, but from "I".
I am, the Tao is.
When I die, Tao disappears.
The disembodied voice said: "It is remarkable to be able to recognize oneself in a desperate situation."
Hearing this, Su Bujin breathed a long sigh of relief and was able to relax.
"but......"
Suddenly, the disembodied voice changed its subject.
"This is your view on the existence of Tao. You have not found what your Tao should be. This is not the Tao."
When Su Bujin heard this, his expression froze.
Still not right?
However, I have already said everything I can think of.
Beyond that, what else?
At this time, countless chains extended from underneath and wrapped around Su Bujin's body.
At the same time, a figure appeared in front of Su Bujin.
Su Tianzi.
Su Tianzi strangled Su Bujin's neck and laughed ferociously: "Su Bujin, you loser, from now on I will take your place and continue to live!"
