It's like going back many years ago, a time that can no longer be traced back.
This has been a long, long time. Although Ah Qi is extremely talented and is much better than the team in studying "Yanshi Lu", it still takes tens of thousands of years to reach his point, which is comparable to the late stage of Nirvana.
For thousands of years, through thousands of springs and autumns, there have been hundreds of lives in the mortal world. The longing and guilt of a hundred generations are deeply imprinted in my memory and have never gone away.
"I have no heart, let alone soul. Over the years, I have only relied on my obsession. I have forgotten who I was back then, and I am not sure whether I still have feelings for my sister. Only when I come back here again will I truly know, It turns out I’m still the same.”
"The blood flows in the body, circulates along the blood vessels in the heart, feels the thumping of the heart, and is filled with joy, and looks at the dusty journey, obviously weak, but with a strong smile. Sister."
Ah Qi looked at the woman lying on the bed and whispered to herself. The sound was low, not even as loud as the buzz of a mosquito, for fear of waking up the woman.
Inside the house, a light suddenly came on. Fireworks were burning in the house, dispersing the moisture in the air. As a result, the air in the room became dry, and the ice-covered coldness on the palms of the fallen flowers gradually disappeared in the fireworks.
Ah Qi's small hands held the woman's hand, feeling the warmth coming from her palms. This is like the heart-warming warmth under the spring sun in March.
"Sister, do you want to stay here forever?" Ah Qi murmured, and suddenly saw a smile on the woman's face on the bed. Perhaps she was dreaming of joy in her dream, or perhaps she was responding to his answer. .
Ah Qi laughed, looking at the woman's face, which was warmed by the fireworks and turned red, with a focused look and tenderness in her eyes.
He suddenly felt that if he kept looking at Sister like this, holding her hand, and accompanying her. Then even here, eternity is worth it.
Ah Qi just watched the flowers fall quietly, the smile on her lips never diminished, and the warmth on her face never dissipated.
He looked at it for a long, long time. He has never moved, not even a slight blink from the corner of his eye.
The sun sets in the west, dusk comes, and the sunset fills the sky. In the distance, there are undulating clouds and wild geese flying by.
The sound of bells and the sound of geese sounded melodiously, echoing in this surrounding area. There is a dilapidated temple on the mountain in the distance.
The long sound of the bell came from there.
Although the temple is dilapidated, it is not majestic. But once upon a time, a bell started, echoed, and announced the beginning of a new day. The disappearance of a bell is the end of a day.
Once upon a time, the morning sun was rising, and a fiery red corner appeared in the eastern sky, shining the first ray of sunshine on the world. On the mountain road of that mountain, there will be people walking along the mountain road steps to the temple, holding incense in their hands, and worshiping devoutly in front of the Buddha. May you be in good health and have good weather every day.
Then as time passed, the monks in the temple were no longer there, and no one took care of the temple. It is dilapidated to this day. Originally Hua Luo wanted to live there, but she heard that there was a child in the village who was like herself and had no one to rely on, so she came to find someone to accompany her.
The adults were still busy harvesting rice, so naturally only the children from the village broke into the deserted temple and rang the bells.
The sound of the bell sounded loudly, as if it was sent to all directions along the purple clouds, revolving thousands of times and ringing in the air.
Ah Qi came outside the house and looked at the bright red color surrounded by purple. At this time, it is perfectly round and radiant. The eye-piercing mask is like a dream, so unreal. It's like being in a gauzy dream.
As time goes by, the sunset gradually approaches the horizon, and the rays of light spread from the horizon, rendering the clouds on the horizon into one color.
Although, the autumn wind blows through the dusk, and the fiery red leaves are scattered all over the ground, just like the sunset, it is blooming its last beauty...
But at this moment, it seemed like it was frozen in eternity.
The leaf on the tree outside the courtyard is alone on the branch. It is there, just regarded as an insignificant and ordinary leaf. The last leaf on a tree. Normally, you can look at it alone for a long time and think of yourself.
Is it the same as myself, looking up at the dark red of the horizon. In longing and waiting, the branches will be covered with leaves again in the coming year.
Even a leaf, caressed by the breeze, is quietly beautiful and can pass through this world gently. A longing can be chased to the ends of the earth and the ends of the earth. There is someone who will accompany you to the end of the world and the end of the earth. This is a lifetime.
Ah Qi raised her head and looked at the burning horizon in the distance, listening to the long bells.
This sound keeps echoing in my ears, endlessly. It seemed that the place where the bell rang was not in the vast world outside the courtyard, but in his heart.
Ah Qi even had a feeling when Hua Luo came here. The bell must ring, for him alone.
After a long time, the sky finally darkened, and the bell gradually died down and could no longer be heard. Ah Qi lowered his head, retracted his eyes, and took a deep breath.
The air outside the house followed the wind, so the moist breath of the mountains poured into his heart, and a rare look of satisfaction slowly appeared on his face. However, this satisfaction only stayed for a while, and soon, complexity appeared on his face again.
Satisfied, complex. Repeatedly.
When Ah Qi turned to look at the woman behind him, her expression became even more complicated. He had been waiting for the day when this woman would appear in front of him in this posture. Just like before.
Just mentioning the word "once" always makes people's eyes red. Once upon a time, the sea is gone, and so are all things.
Although they are not in the sky and on the earth, and will never meet again, they are not the same selves in the past. You can't hear each other's real smiles, you can't feel the warmth between your palms, and you can't hear each other's heartbeat.
In the past, in early spring, everything began to revive. Ah Qi is flying a kite in the field in front of the falling flowers, in the spring breeze, holding the string with her little hands, in the midst of laughter. After all, that child had experienced several years of happiness. Since the arrival of Hua Luo, his life has been full of joy.
The children of the past grew up happily into teenagers, but this was only the past after all. As time passed, the face became stained with the dust of time. The surge of sadness that things are right and people are different makes every breath feel as fast as the weight of a mountain, including every memory.
"Flowers bloom and fall. Flowers bloom and fall. Why do these flowers bloom so beautifully and amaze the world? Why do they still fall?"
"If that thing hadn't happened back then, this flower would have continued to fall. I don't know whose family the flower would fall to in the end, or whose years it would amaze." Ah Qi let out a long sigh.
The sky is getting darker gradually, and it will be completely dark within a short meal. On this hill, in this small courtyard, there are low walls, green and yellow pear trees full of green leaves, and this thatched cottage. How can one escape the traces left by this night.
There was darkness everywhere, and footsteps could be heard not far away.
It’s dinner time again. Ah Qi knew who the owner of the footsteps was. It was Aunt Guo who had come to deliver the meal at noon.
Ah Qi reached out and waved his hand, and the lights in the room dimmed instantly. Inside, there was no light, I couldn't see my fingers, and I couldn't see the woman inside.
His appearance has not changed anymore, because he still looks like a child at this moment. No need to change at all.
He carefully walked into the house, took out the bowl he had washed after lunch, and handed it to Aunt Guo along with the bamboo basket, and took the new bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket is heavy, much heavier than at noon. After Aunt Guo left, Ah Qi quietly walked into the house again.
He placed the bamboo basket on the table and the fire lit up again. It's just that this fire is not as strong as the previous one. Instead, a few firewoods were burning beside the bed, illuminating the surroundings.
Although the fireworks at this moment are small, they are enough to keep the flowers warm.
Ah Qi opened the bamboo basket. Suddenly, the aroma of the food hit my face. After looking inside the bamboo basket, I finally understood why it was heavier than at noon.
Two bowls of porridge, four steamed buns, and a bowl of lettuce. And a small plate of pickles
There was only Ah Qi, so there was no need for two bowls of porridge. No need for four steamed buns. For him, who is only five years old, just one is enough.
"I forgot that back then, this woman named Hua Luo came to my family. I heard that there was a poor child in this village whose parents died early. I remember that back then, they kept sending it to us for many days. When we arrived, every household gave us rice to help us." Ah Qi looked at the sleeping woman lying on the bed and spoke softly.
The woman was really too tired, so this drowsy sleep was destined to last for a long time. It will definitely be difficult to wake up tonight. Perhaps, I will be woken up by hunger in the middle of the night.
"Sister, will you wake up from hunger tonight?" Ah Qi murmured.
Here, he has never forgotten who he is, nor why he is here. He originally wanted to leave early, but the distance was thousands of miles, even thousands of miles, and even further. Sister finally came here. This was both unexpected and expected by Ah Qi.
"Are you the elder sister here, or the elder sister who has been with me till now?" Ah Qi was lost in her thoughts.
From the moment he first appeared here, he saw himself transformed into what he looked like when he was five years old, back to the flesh and blood he once was.
Returning to the first moment, Ah Qi already knew that he was back. Going back to the past, going back to the past.
He had a premonition the moment he jumped down from the cliff of a thousand mountains piled with white bones.
This hunch is indeed true. When he landed, he appeared in this hill, in this familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard.
He didn't have any doubts at all, and entered the scene naturally. Because he is Ah Qi, and Ah Qi is him. The only difference is the age.
"Is this the place of sinking..." Ah Qi smiled, nodded, and said to himself: "This second difficulty is not difficult for some people, and can be overcome at any time. But For some people, it is as difficult as reaching the sky."
"The persistence of feelings is unforgettable and has become a demon. Then, it is the place of sinking. The reason for sinking lies in the human heart."
"There are tens of millions of people in this world, and everyone's birth and personality are very different. Naturally, they treat feelings differently. Some people are affectionate, and naturally some are dedicated. Some people like to play with other people's feelings, so there must be others who treat feelings well. Persistence and single-mindedness.”
"There are millions of people in this world who all have attachments and wishes. This comes from childhood and comes from the bottom of my heart."
"Then, they take root and sprout. Most people only take root and sprout for a short period of time, and then die young. Only a few people can grow into towering trees."
"Our cultivation, when we set foot in the world of cultivation, all that emerges is immortality and immortality."
"It's just... they lost to reality. In the end, the blazing fireworks in their hearts were extinguished by the flood of reality. Finally, they were completely extinguished. They searched everywhere for a panacea and just wanted to live a few more years. .After all, we are too far away from immortality, and there is no hope."
"After all, only a few will grow into towering trees. But after they complete their original wishes, they will have new wishes. These wishes will eventually change again and again."
"People's hearts are greedy after all. They will not be satisfied with the status quo. But often only this kind of people will not sink. Because they are just thirsty. If they want to save their own lives, they will definitely give up new wishes. .”
"Because for them, even if their wishes are few, they can still change. Because their wishes are endless, and there is only one life." The young man was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and looked outside the room.
An autumn rain in the early morning washed away the dust, making today's air very fresh, thousands of miles in length and width, and not stained by dust. Whether it's the blue sky or the sunset, it's more beautiful than ever.
At this time, the night is quiet and everything on earth is preparing to fall asleep. Including those who work hard.
They had been busy all day and most of them were exhausted. While cooking, boil another pot of hot water. After eating, wipe yourself nicely, then turn off the lights and fall asleep. Some people who are energetic may even do some loving things with their partners.
The lights in each room were turned off one after another. This is often the case in autumn. The cool weather and fatigue make people fall asleep more easily.
The sky is as clean as water, the moon is like water from the sky, and it seems like a beauty wearing a veil has been lifted up, so what appears in front of people is bright eyes and white teeth, bright and elegant, exuding gentle light.
The treetops swayed slightly under the moonlight, and the pears swayed gently, like wind chimes in the wind.
Ah Qi looked at the bright moon. Tonight, the moon is not missing, people are not leaving, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Tonight is the full moon that I have been waiting for for a long, long time.
However, this beautiful flower and the full moon are just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water after all. Sooner or later it will be lacking, and sooner or later it will fall apart. .
"Wish, wish. When you fulfill the first wish, you will feel the taste of success. Then, it will come one by one. This is not persistence, it is just greed."
"True persistence means that there are countless choices, and you have to choose one. Just like three thousand people drowning, they only take one gourd to drink. For those people, this gourd of drink is their life. If one is missing, they are missing. Life. For those people, it doesn’t matter even if they give up their lives to make up for it.”
"This second difficulty is such a huge irony." Ah Qi's face showed sadness, and she let out a long sigh, making the whole courtyard feel empty.
"Those who are obsessed with obsession are obsessed with it. In this place of sinking, they can only sink deeply and cannot extricate themselves. They are willing to sink here forever for that persistent thing. And those who keep changing their wishes, as long as they If you give it up, you can escape completely.”
"This second difficulty is neither difficult nor simple. If we say that among the tens of millions of monks in this world, ninety-nine of them can break through here, but only that number cannot." Ah Qi. He reached out, picked up the spoon and took a sip of the porridge. The warmth went into his throat, and the freshly beaten rice was still sweet after all.
"This place, for me, is just like the taste of this porridge, sweet everywhere. I thought I could leave this place without any heart or soul."
"But after meeting my sister, I was totally wrong. Here, I am a person, a real person, with flesh and blood, a beating heart, I can see the beauty of all things, and I can also feel it clearly The tenderness on my sister’s body and the warmth in her palms.”
"Master said that this is a real world. It is not an illusion or a dream. It is a real world. The people we meet are real old friends. They have their own lives and their own Story. It seems that everything is running again and returning to the past." Ah Qi let out a long sigh, and then took a deep breath. "This is a sacred place. After studying it deeply, Master was shocked and frightened. It was as if someone had mastered reincarnation. How many people have been able to do such a grand gesture and such a great method from ancient times to the present? This place is The place where the extremely resentful clone suppresses, then it must be involved with Donghua Immortal King." "It's just that Donghua Immortal King has shocked the past and present. But with his strength, can he really do it? Create something out of nothing, bring life to life?" "This It's a big move and a big deal. I'm afraid even Han Xiangzi and others who have been here have not noticed that this is not an illusion or a dream. This place is really scary because it is real. But for them, It's just a discarded thing. As for Nazejin Tianzun, his persistence is probably not that of the Martial Ancestor." Ah Qi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke again. "The Immortal King Donghua is extremely powerful, and the legend is comparable to the taboo. But I am afraid that such a big deal is still not possible. Master's guess is also close to that one..." "Only that one. ..Only they have the strength to make such a shocking stroke. At the cost of all the creatures that are better than a vast land, with their bones piled up on thousands of mountains to cover the vastness of the earth, with their souls as the foundation of this endless world. Turn the flow, condense their wishes and obsessions, and condense the obsessions in the hearts of those who have strong obsessions when they step into this place."
"This second difficulty, for me, is difficult but not difficult. Because this is the real world, and everything I see and hear is true. Sister, in her sleep, is also true. The sweetness she tastes is also true. real."
Ah Qi smiled, and the complexity in his eyes disappeared. He was willing to sink here.
"Does Fellow Taoist Lingbao have any attachments? If so, what is his only attachment in his life?"
