There are many things that people don’t understand.
However, there is always a source.
Either those who have experienced it don’t understand it, or those who watch it don’t understand it.
But it’s not really unsolvable.
Liu Sanyue opened his eyes.
He was lying on something that was swinging, and his head was extremely open, and there was a large blue-purple smudged and shining starry sky. There is light foam like a ribbon leaping through the star space, scattering silver dust all over the sky, and becoming countless galaxies.
This is a place that has never been seen before on earth.
Infinite distance and vastness.
The top of the starry sky is purple-black, looking extremely deep, and then falls downwards, turning into a large area of orange sky, just like the color at sunset - this color is easily reminiscent of the southernmost part of Huangliang, The tail of the Styx, the autumn water.
Liu Sanyue lay there silently, not looking where he was shaking.
When those sword fires ignited from his heart and the boundless burning pain overwhelmed him, he knew that he was really dead.
If what I saw in the human sword sect was a dream.
Then what is happening now will also be a dream.
Probably only in dreams can one see such extremely gorgeous colors that are not found in the human world.
But that's not a dream.
Liu Sanyue looked down at his heart, where there was a sword hole with sword fire jumping.
His body had been burned by the sword fire, and only this little soul was still floating around.
Chen Huaifeng's sword would naturally not leave him a way to survive.
It not only pierced the body, but also pierced his soul.
Liu Sanyue lay down for a long time and finally sat up.
Look around.
I was lying in a small wooden boat floating in a large river with no way to go and no way to go.
The river water is neither clear nor turbid, and there seems to be colorful light escaping in it.
Liu Sanyue silently thought about what was recorded in the ancient Taoist books.
Does the river leading to the great country of Styx look like this?
He couldn't remember.
The world is so good that he often doesn't dare to look at things about death.
Although he eventually died.
Died in the Sword Sect.
Liu Sanyue agreed with Chen Huaifeng's explanation.
Also correct.
Only in this way will people in the world put aside their ignorant views about Huangliang in the past and come to Zebian to have a look in person.
It's a pity that Liu Sanyue was not able to see what the world would be like in the next hundred years.
No, it was sixty or seventy years.
Being born as a human being, you only have a lifespan of a hundred years.
This is the eternal truth of the Great Way.
Liu Sanyue never thought about being like Cong Ren, turning a human into a demon and surviving on earth for a thousand years.
In fact, there are very few people in the entire Taoist sect who choose to transform into demons.
There is only the Sword Sect, perhaps because the Demon Ancestor was once the eighth disciple of Tsing Yi from Mojianya.
Those members of the Sword Sect are not opposed to transforming into demons.
But Liu Sanyue didn't want this.
Looking at the human world for a hundred years, coming with curiosity and leaving with satisfaction, it is the ultimate happiness in the world.
But it is a pity that he walked off the stage during this dramatic opening scene.
So I drifted under the starry sky and the River Styx, remembering the splendor of the human world I saw for the first time when I walked out of the green mountains.
Those are the lights of Huaidu.
So he later followed Kamigawa.
In a prosperous world, there would naturally not be a fatuous emperor.
Liu Sanyue sat on the boat and thought for a long time with a smile.
But he thought of what Bu Suanzi said on Daze.
Now it seems that his calculations are naturally very accurate.
That’s right too.
The observational fallacy value of fate cannot be corrected.
Liu Sanyue thought with regret.
If it can be corrected, that would be really good.
But that goes against common sense.
But when Liu Sanyue was thinking this, a figure appeared on the bank of the river.
Wushan goddess Yao Ji.
This ghost who is dressed in black but always makes people think that the small gaps in the black dress should be full of colorful flowers. He holds the maple-colored umbrella diagonally and sits on the shore, stepping on it with his bare feet. In those gleaming rivers.
As if waiting for Liu Sanyue's arrival.
"Are you satisfied with the rewards given to you by the world you love?" Yao Ji's gentle voice sounded from the river bank.
Liu Sanyue sat on the slowly drifting boat, smiled softly, and said, "This is an ending I can still accept."
Yao Ji is still surrounded by the power of the Styx like flowing clouds, but Liu Sanyue is already a person in the Styx, so it is naturally difficult to be suppressed by that power.
Therefore, it is rare for people in the world to sit together with ghosts and gods as equals and talk freely about the world.
"But you could have continued to watch and see how those loves took root and sprouted over the years and grew into a gorgeous and dazzling appearance."
Liu Sanyue just laughed softly and looked at the woman stepping on the water of the Styx.
"But now that you have come to the world, those loves may not be extinguished. The love between humans and gods may be really beautiful." Liu Sanyue said slowly, "But when the stories you represent have disappeared from the history of the world, Among them, it means that the world itself has made a choice."
Although Liu Sanyue did not agree with the idea of Yao Ji returning to the world, Liu Sanyue still used the word "you" for this human ghost and god who once existed in the land of ancient Chu.
But maybe for Yao Ji, what she wants is not this kind of empty words that linger on her lips.
It is the sky that remains in memory, where humans and gods once coexisted.
Liu Sanyue looked up at the sky, but found that it was no longer the sky he was familiar with. He was a little sad but still said: "The world is very good now. According to the story I know, after the Wuguishen Sect disappeared from the world , the avenue began to prosper, and people began to go higher and farther, and there were many twists and turns along the way, and there were many tragic stories that were not peaceful, and even caused the whole world to suffer heavy losses. But it was always moving, An upward trajectory. Cultivation, immortality, and demon transformation, whether recognized by the world or not, represent an upward exploration in the world. Even secular people who have never had extraordinary power are constantly moving forward. Let’s go—my goddess, the human world has never fallen because of the loss of ghosts and gods.”
Yao Ji quietly looked at Liu Sanyue, who was slowly drifting toward her, and said softly: "Since the human world can accept everything as you said, why can't it accept that there are ghosts and gods above its head?"
Liu Sanyue thought for a long time in silence before saying softly: "Perhaps it is because of the blessings from gods and ghosts that people in the world will indulge in all the satisfaction they already have. A world that is perfect and has no regrets is like a reef in a big river. It will be worn away a little bit without really moving forward to see the sea beyond."
Yao Ji said calmly: "But we are the sea."
"You have to see the world for yourself." Liu Sanyue also said calmly.
"What if I gave you another chance?"
"If you give me another 10,000 chances, I will only make this choice." Liu Sanyue chuckled softly.
Yao Ji turned her head and looked at the further end of the Styx River.
Once there, all the stars, all the light, all the brilliance are falling downwards, falling into the infinite abyss.
Liu Sanyue also saw the scene there.
That is the place where everything in the world returns and perishes, not even words or light will survive.
Fall down until you fall with the great rivers that are forever blind.
Liu Sanyue was not afraid, but drifted there calmly but with regret.
He fondly recalled the regrets of his life.
Keep them in mind. Even if you drink the Styx water, which is said to make you forget everything in the world after drinking a little, you still have to remember the regrets of your life.
In this way, in the next life, he can come to this world with greater love and enthusiasm.
Yao Ji didn't speak anymore, but watched Liu Sanyue drifting away from her with calm eyes.
Then, pulled by the raging power of the Styx, it moved faster and faster towards the end.
Liu Sanyue smiled and nodded to Yao Ji, even though this was not the last person he hoped to see in his life.
The light in front of him began to distort, as if being pulled, and turned into countless slender lines. The wind was so loud that Liu Sanyue could no longer hear any sounds from the outside world.
The wooden boat suddenly arrived at the cliff where it fell.
Liu Sanyue smiled and closed her eyes.
The wind stopped.
Liu Sanyue was silent for a long time and then opened his eyes.
Yao Ji stood on the side of the cliff, her solemn and gorgeous black dress fluttering in the mighty power of the Styx.
Beside her, there was an illusory tall figure in black robe.
When Liu Sanyue saw Yao Ji intercepting the small boat that was about to fall into the Kingdom of the Underworld, he realized whose phantom it was.
Da Si Ming.
So Liu Sanyue's figure broke away from the river and landed on the river bank, leaving only the small boat falling in vain.
"I have given the soul of Da Siming to someone in the world." Yao Ji's voice was still gentle and soft. "The people in the River Styx are already beyond their destiny. They cannot change their destiny unless they are ordered to do so. This is the last time I can use the art of commanding fate."
Liu Sanyue fell down on the bank of the river, looking at his ghostly appearance reflected in the river - the power of the Styx was tearing at his soul and had already distorted his original human appearance.
"Goddess, why bother?" Liu Sanyue sighed softly.
Yao Ji calmly raised her hand, and Liu Sanyue's soul was pulled by the power of the Styx, transformed into a small form, and moved towards her palm.
"Even if you refuse many times, I am still willing to give you a chance, Liu Sanyue."
Liu Sanyue's broken soul lay in Yao Ji's palm. Listening to those still gentle voices, she suddenly understood that this kind of gentleness and softness was not her attitude towards the world, it was just that.
"Why?"
Yao Ji covered Liu Sanyue's soul under her umbrella and went upstream in the mighty power of the Styx.
"Because you are one of the few people in the world who stands firmly opposite me."
Yao Ji's voice sounded gently in Liu Sanyue's ears.
Although the meaning behind those words was not gentle.
Liu Sanyue lay in Yaoji's palm, watching quietly as everything slowly returned to the way it was originally seen, the vast starry sky and the flowing river Styx.
Yao Ji stopped at the place where she first saw Liu Sanyue and looked at the big river.
"Your love is true." Yao Ji said softly, "Only when you embrace love can you see love, and when you have true sincerity, can you prove true sincerity."
"How do you know?"
"This is what Styx told me." Yao Ji said calmly, "Everyone who returns to the world sees a different Styx. Your Styx is too beautiful."
Liu Sanyue smiled softly.
Yao Ji continued to walk forward, going in the opposite direction to the return of the Styx River.
"I originally didn't want to interfere with your life or death." Yao Ji said slowly, "But the things here attracted me and made me look over."
"The more beautiful it is, the more determined it is, and the more antagonistic it is."
"So, the more I want you to prove you wrong."
Yao Ji stopped at a place where the galaxy fell.
The sky of stars is like a canopy, so the light foam slowly slides down here and falls into the River Styx, where it flows into the colorful appearance.
Passing through the star dome wall is the section of the Styx in the human world.
The Styx River there is heading towards the human world and towards the bottom of the Youhuang Mountains.
Yao Ji stopped here and put Liu Sanyue's little soul down on her bare feet.
"Passing through here is the human world." Yao Ji quietly looked at the boundary between life and death. "Don't think about entering the River Styx again. Your life and death have been rejected by the River Styx. Unless you go to the human world and live again, the River Styx will not accept you again."
Liu Sanyue's broken soul jumped down on her bare feet and stood in front of the hanging wall, quietly looking at the human world, her twisted eyes seemed to be filled with love.
He raised his hand and touched it, and the soul fingers twisted by the power of the Styx passed through without any hindrance.
"I saw your soul before and saw the river of memories floating in it."
Yao Ji's gentle voice fell from the sky.
"There, I saw your life - you were born in the north of Huai'an, into a well-off family. Although your parents are not big shots in the world, they have a small amount of savings and are knowledgeable and courteous. In such a comfortable small town , naturally I won’t let you fall into the darkness.”
Liu Sanyue lowered his head and thought.
Yes.
His life was too smooth and too accessible.
Just like Yao Ji said.
He has been favored since he was a child, and he also knows what is good and evil in the world, right and wrong.
Later, on the green hill behind the small town, a woman came down, looked at March outside his house, and took him up the mountain. There is an ancient Taoist temple in the mountains, but people in the world don't call it Taoist temple, they call it Qingtian Taoist temple. The world doesn't call that woman the Taoist Priest, but calls her Bai Yuyao.
Liu Sanyue's talent is of course the highest in the world.
Therefore, everything goes smoothly, and he has already shown his talents at the age of ten, entering a realm that most practitioners in the world cannot enter in their lifetime.
Even if he later experienced a story that caused him pain for a long time.
But the beautiful inertia formed in those past years still made him move forward with sincerity.
No matter how Liu Sanyue described his past life with ease and tranquility.
In the eyes of the world, he always lives in a beautiful and radiant story.
So Yao Ji's view is also very simple.
"People who live in beauty cannot speak for the beauty of the world." Yao Ji said calmly, "I can understand why people like you feel painful and dissatisfied with the blessing of the gods above your head."
Liu Sanyue listened silently.
"Just like you said, people in the world have to go see the sea by themselves. As the world moves forward, people like you will naturally be able to stand on all journeys that are favored by heaven and see more, better and higher scenery."
Yao Ji's eyes passed through those barriers and fell to the human world. The ordinary human world was not Nanyi City, which was like everyone else, or the splendid Huaidu City.
Just some ordinary people in the world.
"But not everyone can see the sea, Liu Sanyue."
Liu Sanyue withdrew his hands from the barriers, pressed his hands on the barriers, and began to look at himself as if looking in a mirror.
His soul is twisted, his eyes are devastated, his hands and feet are broken, and his mind is dark.
"So, how do you want to do it?"
Liu Sanyue asked softly as she looked at the Yao Ji reflected in the barrier, who looked like a god in charge of everything in the world.
Yao Ji lowered her head and looked at Liu Sanyue, who was lying on the barrier next to her bare feet and watching.
"So I'm thinking, if you were born ugly, lived a despicable life, had every thought possible, committed all evil deeds, and lived in all the filth that the world would despise, would you still feel beautiful when you looked up at the world?"
Liu Sanyue was silent for a long time, looked at the world and said softly: "I don't know, but I think this story is very interesting."
Liu Sanyue laughed, raised her legs and crossed the barrier, and then her little broken soul slowly fell back into the world.
"So I'm willing to give it a try."
Yao Ji stood on the bank of the Ming River, staring at the figure falling to the world for a long time.
The galaxy behind him dimmed, and then began to fall inevitably, just like that figure.
All colors began to be pulled away and swallowed up.
The entire River Styx began to fall into darkness.
Yao Ji stood silently in the darkness, standing on the bank of the river, listening to the sound of the water flowing back and the sound of the wind floating on the river.
But soon, something lit up on the horizon at the end of the Styx.
It's a tree of light.
Then thousands of purple ancient trees bloomed in the human world in that light, one after another heading towards the dim sky, gradually turning into a dark gold color, exuding dazzling pure light, thousands of ancient trees gathered towards the dark sky. At the top of the sky, a circular arc-shaped circle of light was left, where there was light as clear as water.
Yao Ji held her umbrella at an angle, turned around, and looked up at the brand new sky of Styx.
Standing silently for a long time.
Yao Ji lowered her head and looked towards the cliff and abyss that distorted all the light. Her eyes seemed to want to cross the boundaries between life and death and find someone who was sunk in history.
"Although you rejected everything back then and destroyed everything." Yao Ji looked there and said in a gentle tone.
"But I'm still willing to give the world a second chance."
"Kings."
Yao Ji smiled softly, turned around with an umbrella, and walked towards the world without any nostalgia.
All the light on the entire bank of the Styx was extinguished again.
It is all the invisible and profound light.
It is the end point where all things return.
