Although the old man only said what he was thinking, and then fell silent and did not continue speaking, but after looking at the master's profound smile, after some thinking, after recalling the personal encounter earlier, , Chen Xiaoyao finally figured it out, finally understood, and then immediately judged how naive his personal thoughts just now were.
that is because……
It's meaningless, meaningless. Even if you are conscious, you can't change the fate of death. You will still end up in the black space like ordinary people.
The reason is not complicated, or in other words, the reason comes from Chen Xiaoyao’s personal experience not long ago!
Long before the Master appeared, I had been attracted by the beautiful scenes displayed in the black area on the right. These scenes without exception can arouse human desires. Yes, people are human after all, and everyone has no It can be avoided that there are different desires. The difference is nothing more than the number of types. All desires such as physical desire, appetite, money desire, power desire, etc. are always hidden in everyone's heart. Unless they are saints who have no desires or desires, ordinary people will never There is no getting rid of it, it cannot be avoided, and the black area on the right takes advantage of human desires, and then lures people one by one and finally pulls them into the world of eternal death!
What's more, the nature of the Yin and Yang world is special and has a serious impact on the mind. In addition, the black area can further amplify human greed infinitely. The result is conceivable. Under that irresistible temptation, people will inevitably go to black and enter the world. Darkness, completely entering eternal death.
It cannot be avoided or resisted, so what if the ascetics are conscious because their spiritual power is higher than that of ordinary people? It can be said that I was really conscious just now, but what was the result? In the end, weren't you attracted by the beautiful scenes in the black area? If it weren't for the master's slap at the critical moment, Chen Xiaoyao would have been finished and completely dead!
(Damn! It’s so dangerous, it’s really dangerous!)
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoyao shuddered unconsciously. This was too scary. At the same time, he finally understood why Master said that anyone who entered this place would basically die.
As just described, based on the mutual understanding between master and apprentice, Chen Xiaoyao can quickly figure out the whole story from the master's expression. As the master, Taoist Priest Ziwei can naturally learn the details from the other party's reaction. He knows this apprentice very well. Whether it's character or personality, hobbies, etc., he has a thorough understanding of Chen Xiaoyao. It can even be said that he is the only one who understands Chen Xiaoyao best in the world. Sure enough, when he saw the young man's face showing enlightenment, the old man slightly tilted his jaw, revealing a picture of a child who can be taught. expression.
Of course, understanding is understanding, and fear is fear. As he figures something out, another doubt soon appears in the young man's mind.
Frowning and scratching his head, Chen Xiaoyao was never polite to Master. As soon as he thought of the question, Chen Xiaoyao raised it decisively and immediately asked. While frowning, he raised his head and asked: "By the way, Master, since you said this gray world It is the Yin and Yang Realm, and it is said that this is just a transit station, and the dead cannot stay for a long time, so... during this period, um, what are those monsters that look like humans but not humans seen on the road? Those things seem to have been staying there The Yin and Yang Realm?"
As the saying goes, if you don't understand, you should ask. Chen Xiaoyao used traditional curiosity to ask questions. However, as soon as he asked the question and shook off his wide robe, Taoist Priest Ziwei sneered. It was not until the young man's curiosity became more and more intense that the old man explained emphatically. : "Boy, do you think that the words I often tell you to do good deeds and never do evil when you are alive are all false? As for the monsters in your mouth, those weird things you saw along the way were technically the same. People just did too much evil in the Yang world, so even the Yin Dynasty will not accept them after death. It is conceivable that after people die, the Yin Dynasty will not accept them, and they cannot go back to the Yang world, so they can only stay here forever. Suffering in the gray world that is neither the upper world nor the underworld, over time, they will gradually evolve into various alien species due to their own inner distortions, and even transform into all kinds of ugly monsters beyond imagination. Yes, these things can neither return to the world nor the underworld. They go to the Yang world but cannot enter the Yin world, and are unable to reincarnate in the six realms. They are a group of people who are completely spurned by both the Yin and Yang worlds."
As a master, Taoist Priest Ziwei behaved like a strict teacher in front of his disciples as before, explaining and educating at the same time. However...
Taoist Priest Ziwei had just finished explaining the origin of those monsters to his apprentice, and the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao's expression suddenly changed! As if he had been hit by some kind of blow, he held his forehead with his hand, showing pain, and finally said to himself: "That's it, that's it! I understand, no wonder... no wonder the master will stay here after his death." In the gray yin and yang world, let me tell you why I can see the master here. It turns out that the master also did too many evil things during his lifetime..."
"I'll fuck you! You little bastard, you're here to beat me!"
Snapped.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
Unexpectedly, before Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking, he heard a loud curse, and the next second, his head was hit hard and violently. He was caught off guard, and the young man was beaten. He covered his head with his hands and squatted on the ground, howling miserably.
"Ah, Master, why did you hit me?"
Listening to the puzzled inquiry, Taoist Priest Ziwei followed him and scolded angrily: "What are you talking about? I have done good deeds and accumulated virtues throughout my life. I even charge people only half price to drive away locusts and treat diseases. If you don't have money, it's free." It is conceivable that how could a person like Master be stuck here because he has done too many evil things?"
Chen Xiaoyao was still rubbing his head and grinning, then turned around and asked: "Huh? It's not evil? In that case, Master, what are you doing..."
Chen Xiaoyao did not continue what he said next. Instead, he subconsciously glanced at the gray space. It was obvious that the old man knew his apprentice, and as an apprentice, how could Chen Xiaoyao not know his master? After all, the two of them had been together day and night in the same Taoist temple for so long. The young man knew what kind of person the master was. In fact, what he just said was just for fun. Why did he deliberately scan the space in front of the old man? There was no need to mention it specifically, because he believed that Master would understand some of the words even if he didn't say them.
Sure enough, seeing Chen Xiaoyao's eyes rolling around, Taoist Ziwei's heart suddenly became clear, and he understood what the other party wanted to ask. Of course, understanding is understanding, and clarity is understanding. In fact, the old man did not explain immediately, but remained silent for a long time, just using A pair of deep eyes silently looked at the young man, and looked at his only disciple. After looking at him for a long time, he finally sighed slowly and said: "Hey, as a master, death is due to the exhaustion of Yangshou. Exhaustion of Yangshou is a natural death. Those who die naturally cannot Returning Yang, plus the body has long been buried, so logically I can only go to the world of death, but..."
"But as a teacher, I always have one unfulfilled wish, that is, I hope you live well so that I can continue the inheritance of my Chinese Taoism. Otherwise, I will not be able to go to the Yin Division with peace of mind. I have already made plans, and my plan is to stay in Yin and Yang. I will wait for you until you die of old age and then I will personally ask you how your Taoist inheritance is going, but, I never expected that you would come here in just a few years!!!"
Yes, until the old man ran out of words and until the other party revealed his thoughts, Chen Xiaoyao finally figured out the real reason why the master appeared here. The reason was not that the evildoers in the joke were too evil, but that it came from the persistence in the old man's heart. concept, the obsession with inheriting Chinese Taoism.
At this moment, listening to what Master said, Chen Xiaoyao was not only shocked by Master's strong obsession, but also felt a little inexplicably moved.
You can imagine how difficult it must be to wait for your apprentice for decades in this yin and yang world where there is no concept of time!
"Master, I..."
"Hey, it's all because of my bad luck as a teacher. I died of exhaustion before I could teach you what I have learned all my life. Although I feel unwilling to be a teacher, it is not without a way to make up for it. So Xiaoyao, take this opportunity to become a teacher. I want to tell you something, you must remember it!”
………
After Taoist Priest Ziwei told Chen Xiaoyao the whole thing, for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao began to be surprised and suspicious, and his expression became a little strange unknowingly. He wanted to ask curiously, but the old man gave up after describing the incident. He waved his hand and then changed the topic and continued: "Now don't talk too much. I don't want to hear why you are here or what your situation is like in the world of the world. My master is dead, and everything in the world of the world has nothing to do with the same master. Even so, I still have one obsession as a teacher, and that is you! Xiaoyao, I just hope that you can live in peace and keep living, and what I want to see most is that you can also be like this in a few decades. When you come to see me looking like an old man, you can tell me the answer you want to know as a teacher."
As the words fell and the tone changed, at this moment, Priest Ziwei's gaze towards the young man changed. It was no longer dignified and majestic as before, but loving, kind, and full of infinite expectations.
After a moment, the old man raised his arm, and under the gaze of the young man, he waved his hand and pointed to the left, to the bright white space, to the bright window of hope.
"So...Xiaoyao, go back. This is not the place you should be here yet. Let's go and go back to where you should be!"
"Master, I, I..."
Listening to the master's words and looking at the master's face, Chen Xiaoyao's long-suppressed tears finally burst out of his eyes again. Yes, at this moment, he understood, understood everything, regardless of what the master didn't say. , in fact, deep down in his heart, the other party has always been concerned about him, there is a kind of close affection, there is worry and uneasiness, it can even be said that continuing the Taoism is just a pretense, and the real purpose of Master staying here is precisely for I hope that one day I can save my apprentice's life!
Master, this is my Master.
"woo woo woo woo……"
Seeing the only disciple or only relative in his life crying, Taoist priest Ziwei smiled, touched his disciple's head with a smile, but in the end he urged in a solemn tone: "Let's go, let's go quickly."
"Master, can I see you again in the future? Also, this is..."
"Of course. Didn't I just say that you will be able to see me again after you die of old age. Then we, the master and the disciple, will rush to the underworld together. Don't worry, who is the master? How determined is his mind? That's just black Space still can’t confuse me, or I think that as a teacher, even if I lose my body, ordinary evil objects will still choose to take a detour when they see me, and there is nothing that can threaten me in the Yin and Yang world. I am a teacher, ah, that’s right! I almost forgot I asked, your body was not damaged in the Yang world, right? If the damage to your body is too serious, even if you return to the Yang world, you will still be unable to survive because of the loss of your physical body, and you will only be a lonely wild man."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoyao immediately replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Master, as long as I am not completely dead, my body will definitely enter the carriage, and my companions will definitely take good care of my body."
After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation, Taoist Priest Ziwei felt puzzled, but as he just said, he doesn't care about anything in the world for the dead, so it is natural that when the young man swears by him, the old man no longer cares about it. Thinking more, his face turned serious again: "Okay Xiaoyao, let's go! This is really not a place for you to stay longer!"
"Master..."
There is no doubt that Chen Xiaoyao also knows that the white on the left is the way to live, and the truth is correct. However, when he thinks that once he leaves this life, he will never see the old man in front of him, for some reason, indescribable sadness wells up in his heart. For a moment, the young man was sad and reluctant to give up. He hesitated.
As for the old man...
Seeing that he kept urging the other party and still refused to leave, his brows tightened. Priest Ziwei stopped talking nonsense and suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. Then he pointed his head and shouted in surprise: "Ah! Disciple, look! UFO!"
What!
Sure enough, when he heard this, he saw the old man's face full of surprise. The next moment, Chen Xiaoyao also instinctively raised his head to look up at the sky. However, as he looked towards the sky and took a closer look, he found that the sky was gray, depressed and lifeless. , where is the flying saucer! ?
(Um?)
However, it was too late to say that, but it was too late to see anything above him. Just when Chen Xiaoyao tried to lower his head again and planned to ask the master, a big foot kicked out from behind him like lightning, kicking the middle-aged and young man's butt so hard!
"You little bastard, please go back here!"
"oops!"
The big foot hit the target, and he screamed in pain instantly. The next second, Chen Xiaoyao was kicked away by the old man, flying straight forward, flying to the opposite side, flying to the white space as white as snow.
During the flight, Chen Xiaoyao tried hard to turn his head and look behind him.
He saw his master still standing there, while he was getting farther and farther away from him. But at the same time, from behind, the old man made a voice and shouted, and the voice reached his ears:
"Little bastard, remember what you said as a teacher and live well!"
The above was the last scene Chen Xiaoyao saw and the last sound he heard.
the reason is……
The next moment, his body completely submerged into the left area, instantly disappearing into the white space.
Then, he could no longer hear or feel, and his brain was completely blurred...
