Li Xiuyuan sighed softly, and after a long silence, he replied: "It's all painful."
"Yes, all living beings suffer."
The old woman's divine consciousness enveloped the palace on the mountain, the living beings in the mountain, and the masons at the seaside below the mountain. This world was all covered by her divine consciousness.
Quietly, she watched the joy, anger, sorrow and joy on the faces of the queen, merchants, monks, coolies and masons.
He stared at the young man in front of him, whose body was clearly shrouded in the Buddha's light, but he couldn't see himself.
Until she made a cup of tea, slowly added it to their cups, then picked it up and took a sip.
Then he said: "There are several types of suffering in the world, such as you are suffering unspeakably, such as the people on the mountain who are not aware of their suffering, and the stonemasons on the seaside who seek happiness from suffering..."
Withdrawing her gaze, the old woman watched silently as a piece of spinning spiritual tea in the cup slowly fell into the bottom of the cup, just like the mayfly that was born and died.
There was compassion in my heart, but I couldn't express it in detail for a while.
She couldn't say it before the time came.
Even if the time comes, what can she do? Solving the immediate trouble for the young man in front of him seemed like the immediate trouble was no longer a trouble in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
Otherwise, he would not give up going to the peaceful and joyful Lingyun Island and come to this abyss-like Fairy Island that looks bright and bright, but in fact is full of evil.
What's more, as Li Xiuyuan thought, when did someone in the sky, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist hall, ever see the suffering sentient beings in the world?
The old woman understood that Li Xiuyuan had his own reasons.
She has her own principles, just like the Buddhas.
All living beings in the world also have their own principles.
Different principles and different rules create an imperfect world in front of us. Unless the end comes, heaven will not blink for all living beings in the world.
However, just as Li Xiuyuan thought, when the crisis comes, can the way of heaven, the Buddhas, and the Bodhisattvas save all living beings?
Or should you find a reason for yourself not to take action or take responsibility?
Thinking of this, the old woman suddenly understood that Li Xiuyuan in front of her clearly knew the truth between heaven and earth, but still couldn't help but say those words that were not complaints.
After being silent for a long time, the old woman smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe you are disappointed, but you have to know that no one in the world is perfect..."
"I understand what my mother-in-law is saying, I'm just complaining."
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting at the table, made a gesture of holding flowers at some point.
Looking at the old woman, she said: "I have been thinking hard for a long time, and gradually I understand that there is not much difference between the unkindness of heaven and earth and the unkindness of kings. In the end, even those who finally became saints are the same."
Li Xiuyuan's consciousness stared at Zhang San on the beach, and said expressionlessly: "Saint, maybe he clearly saw all living beings in the world, but he had to pretend not to see..."
"Boom!" There was a thunder.
In an instant, the first spring thunder of the year fell from the sky over the East China Sea. I don't know whether it was telling the woman on the mountain that the hour was coming, or warning the young man at the foot of the mountain not to lie.
The old woman felt as if she had been hit hard. She looked at Li Xiuyuan and murmured: "The world is unkind, so how should people in the world deal with themselves?"
The old woman was shocked by Li Xiuyuan's bold statement, and was also enveloped by an indescribable feeling.
At this moment, she thought of some truths that she had thought about before, then couldn't understand, and finally stopped thinking about.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky and said quietly: "The world is like a dog, what can we do? Only people like me will ignore his feelings if he is unhappy."
In fact, he really wanted to say, if the sky is unfair, I will open the sky with one sword.
Just like when he was under the Demon Mountain of the Shura Heaven Realm, facing the Heavenly Dao to open the sky for the Demon King who had borrowed a glimmer of life.
Even if you give him the door to ascension, if I don't like it, I will kill you with a sword and cut off your path to ascension just like me.
He doesn't mind doing it a few more times.
Seeing the young man in front of her waving his hands and making a gesture of slashing his sword into the sky, the old woman sighed secretly in her heart.
She has not met many people who are so disrespectful and ignore the rules of heaven and earth.
After a long time, he said: "Heaven and earth have their own rules. No matter what you want to do, you must abide by the principles of heaven and earth. Otherwise, how can you practice?"
"I don't care anymore. Anyway, I am a person abandoned by the heavens. I don't need to give him face!"
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Now I am a person who has no way to ascend. Whether I respect God or not depends on my mood. It won't work. He will kick me out of here, right?"
From Li Xiuyuan's point of view, no matter where the heaven here kicks him, it doesn't matter to him.
Others were duplicitous, but he said so, and he believed that one day he would be able to be on par with the sky.
Because he is a mortal now, he can see the joys, sorrows, and joys of the world, just like Amu who was lowered into the dust in the Red Dust Inn.
You can see Cuihua sweeping the floor, you can see heroes like Wang Yi, and you can also see Jui'er who has become the empress.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan waved his sleeves and took down the bamboo hat hanging on the bamboo shed. He leaned on the recliner behind him and covered his face with the bamboo hat.
He murmured to himself: "Senior, sometimes I also feel secretly happy."
The old woman said: "Is it possible that you are like those stonemasons, wandering in the world, what else can make you secretly happy in an instant?"
As he reached out to pick up the flowers, Li Xiuyuan said softly: "Sometimes, I like to see him clearly hating me, but he can't do anything about me."
The old woman was stunned, looking at the person in front of her who had clearly seen the heavens.
But he would also reveal a hint of innocence inadvertently, and he couldn't stop laughing.
...
The old man and the young man were originally going to talk to the two people on the mountain like peacocks about some unknown things that might happen.
Who would have thought that as they chatted, they turned into fish in the sea, the principles and rules of the heavens.
And if you want to talk about these truths, how can you do it in a short while?
What's more, when Li Xiuyuan thought of some things that once made him brood, he didn't want to reason with God, when he was unreasonable.
Whether it is the old woman in front of me, the queen on the mountain, or Helian Mingyue who is about to come to the East China Sea, Her Majesty the Queen of this world.
Then no one can explain those unreasonable things to him clearly.
A whole winter passed through his fingers, let alone just three days. For Li Xiuyuan, who was in the long river of time, three days was just the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the peacock came and went, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived on Fairy Island, the good day that the Queen had been looking forward to for countless years.
She has been practicing hard for many years for this day.
For this day, she did not hesitate to be ruthless and righteous, and cut off all thoughts about the human world. She only wanted to fight for the other side, ask God for a glimmer of life, and be able to ascend in the daytime.
On this day, before dawn, Zhang San took the craftsmen at the foot of the mountain to the mountain to prepare for the Queen's heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
Zhang San even asked Li Xiuyuan to come with him, but Li Xiuyuan refused his kindness, saying that he was not in a hurry and he and the old woman were waiting for the last moment.
Everything is ready on the mountain, all it takes is the arrival of auspicious timing at the last moment.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, he could ignore Yu Mingjun from Xianyun Island. What he was more concerned about was whether Helian Mingyue would come with Gongyang Bo at the last moment.
After getting up early, the old woman washed herself and changed out of her clothes as black as night into a spotless white one.
It's a pity that in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, the old woman in front of him was still black and white.
In his eyes, there is no difference between the old woman today and the old woman yesterday.
And the old lady also liked Li Xiuyuan's calm and calm expression before the world collapsed.
Like...like that cloud floating across the sky.
Early this morning, the first spring rain fell on the island... The rain finally stopped, but the sky did not open.
One cloud, two clouds... In the eyes of the old woman, the sky that was about to become cheerful a moment ago gradually turned into a sky full of dark clouds again.
I wonder if there will be another heavy rain at the auspicious time for the Queen's sacrifice on the mountain?
Lao Xiuyuan felt the dull, depressing breath coming from the sky, and suddenly felt that his chest was blocked, as if he couldn't breathe out.
Unlike the old lady, he got up early and after washing himself, he changed into a black shirt made for him by his eldest sister Li Qiushui in Ding'an City.
Even the old woman was stunned, because after not having to do hard work these days, Li Xiuyuan wore snow-white clothes every day, like a scholar in the imperial city.
Unexpectedly, on the day when the Queen of the Mountain was happy, the young man in front of her changed into a night-like black dress.
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan asked: "Senior, have you ever felt that your chest is tight, and you want to breathe out, but it is held in your chest and you can't open your face?"
When the old woman heard this, she was immediately speechless.
After a while, he replied: "God is not happy today. The sky was originally light and calm, but now it has become full of dark clouds."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly when he heard this: "Is it possible that God will make me unhappy in the last moments of my stay on this island?"
The old woman couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and started to teach her grandson the same way an elder would teach her grandson.
Said: "So in the future, don't make him angry at all times, and have some fear in your heart."
"He knows my thoughts, it's very simple."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "If he lets me follow what I want in my heart, I will naturally not offend him. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to open the sky with one sword."
The old woman replied: "Be careful, she heard you."
...
Just like yesterday, the sea is also windy today. The big ship from Haiyun Town and Fairy Island heading to greet Her Majesty the Queen is about to dock.
Yun Qingjiao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked both excited and a little nervous.
The waves on the sea had caused her to be in a dark state two days ago, and she couldn't distinguish between north, south, west, and east. It wasn't until today that she calmed down a little.
Seeing that An Qian no longer had to suffer, she didn't know what would happen next.
Seeing the large ship gradually approaching the shore, Gongyang Bo followed Helian Mingyue out of the cabin and came to the bow of the ship, looking at the newly built palace on the mountain from a distance.
Gongyang Bo couldn't help but ask: "What's the use of building such a luxurious palace on the sea? Otherwise it will change in two years."
Helian Mingyue also saw the lotus-like golden dome on the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance, it was not inferior to the palace of Wandao Imperial City. She thought to herself, are you showing it to me?
Or show it to the man in front of you? Or show it to God above the East China Sea?
She thought differently, but looked at Gongyang Bo with a weird smile: "You said that back then she couldn't get what she asked for. Now that you are finally back, will she..."
"Stop it, everything that happens here has nothing to do with me."
Gongyang Bo looked at the scene on the top of the mountain, looking at the businessmen and monks slowly walking towards the top of the mountain like ants, and immediately interrupted Helian Mingyue's teasing.
He said seriously: "Such a big thing happened here. If I guessed correctly, Li Xiuyuan should also be on this island."
"Oh, that's really interesting."
Helian Mingyue took Yun Qingjiao's hand and said with a smile: "I will introduce you to an interesting guy in a while."
