"I am neither alive nor dead at the moment, so this place can only be the boundary between life and death. As for how to get out, the fact that I can come in means there must be an exit, but I can't find it for the time being. That's why I said, old man, that I am very busy. You Go aside and play by yourself for a while, okay?" Ye Feng said sincerely
The old man could tell that Ye Feng was sincere in what he said, but it was precisely because of this that he wanted to beat him even more. Is this kid speaking human language? But he must pay attention to his seniority and not bully the younger ones. He still endured his temper. said
"Then do you know who I am?"
"Isn't he the Taoist ancestor of the law of life and death?" Ye Feng asked back
"I am... huh?... You know, how did you tell?"
Ye Feng seemed a little angry, "Old man, it's very impolite to always answer other people's questions with rhetorical questions."
The old man almost vomited blood, and his heart almost collapsed. You are the most rude one.
After a moment, the old man stabilized his Taoist heart and said: "Since you know that I am the Taoist ancestor of life and death, you should know that this is my domain. Although I don't know how you, a mortal without spiritual roots, came in, but I I can tell you how to get out, do you want to know?"
"Oh, are you so good?" Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Don't answer my questions with rhetorical questions anymore!" The old man finally couldn't help it. Resisting the urge to hit someone, he said
"The way to get out is very simple. One is to answer the meaning of life and death, and then you can get out after being recognized by this space. The second is to become my registered disciple and I will take you out."
Ye Feng thought for a moment and seemed to be saying to himself, "I once wrote a paper about life and death. It has about 9 million words. If I want to perfectly discuss life and death, I will probably use all of that paper. And I have gained a lot of insights recently, and I have to add another 2 million words to it, but I probably don’t have that much time, but, I want to be your disciple." Ye Feng looked at the old man hesitantly.
"..." When the old man heard that there were more than 9 million words, and he had to add 2 million to 11 million words, his eyelids jumped a little, because although the condition was to be recognized by this space, in fact he still had to make the judgment. That is to say, he is required to listen to these 10 million words of bastard chanting in an honest manner.
But when he saw Ye Feng mentioning being his disciple, the hesitant look in his eyes suddenly made him angry, with an angry look on his face.
"snort"
You must know that the number of immortals who strive to be their disciples every year, even if they are registered disciples, is in the hundreds of millions. Originally, I thought that this little guy could unexpectedly break into my space. He must be destined to be with him, so I was tempted to accept him as a disciple. I didn't expect that he wouldn't appreciate it.
Ye Feng realized what he was doing, so he straightened his expression and bowed respectfully to the old man. "Senior, please don't get me wrong. I don't look down on life and death. Life and death are the most important things that have never changed in human beings. They are also the most powerful among the principles of Tao. However, although the Tao of life and death is strong, But it’s not the way I’m pursuing.”
Seeing that Ye Feng finally showed some respect for him, the old man's face became less angry and said, "Then I can also teach you Taoism and secret techniques, so that you can become the only one in the world who is the pride of heaven and the dragon and phoenix among men."
Ye Feng said respectfully: "I am a mortal, born weak. If a weak mortal suddenly gains too much power, he will often become addicted to it, unable to extricate himself and lose himself. This is human nature, I hope my predecessors will make it happen."
The old man smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that when he suddenly wanted to accept a little guy as a registered disciple, he was rejected.
"Forget it, you can always have a conversation with me, an old man."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's okay if the time is short."
But he never asked the old man to let him out, because he already had some ideas about how to get out.
"Then let me tell you a story. I mentioned it in my thesis. I like it very much. After I finish telling it, I really want to leave," Ye Feng said sincerely.
"Okay" the old man agreed
"Once upon a time, there was a traveler who traveled all the way through mountains and rivers. He was about to reach the end, but was blocked by a huge abyss. Anyone who saw the huge abyss would give up, but he didn't want to give up. So he planned to build a bridge across the abyss himself. So the traveler borrowed an ax from a nearby village, went to the nearby woods to chop down trees, and used the wood to build a bridge. The little girl in the village looked at the traveler's actions with approval, but her father expressed disdain because of the abyss The width of the village is hundreds of meters, and it is simply a fantasy to build a bridge of hundreds of meters here. However, the traveler is full of energy, and over and over again, more and more people are watching in the village, and everyone is curious about whether he can create a miracle. Finally, he is very motivated. After more than 10 days of hard work, he built the bridge on the stone pillar in the center of the abyss. He was half successful. He was very happy to launch a flare into the sky to celebrate himself like fireworks. The villagers who had once dismissed him also cheered. . Perhaps the traveler doesn’t know that his behavior has unknowingly become the hope of others. As long as he perseveres, he can reach the other side of hope. Soon the traveler is about to build the last half of the bridge, and he is only one step away from success. Less than 6 meters. However, there was a sudden thunder and lightning in the sky. The villagers went to take shelter from the rain. Only the little girl was worried about his safety and refused to go in. If the strong wind blew down the bridge, all the previous efforts would be wasted, so he could only take risks. Because this bridge, like him, had unknowingly become the hope of the villagers. The bridge was crumbling in the strong wind, and the travelers rushed to the bridge with their bags on their backs. Finally, they reached the second half of the journey. Success or failure depended on this, whether they were alive or dead. Death. Misfortunes never come singly. The dead tree as a support point could no longer hold up. Seeing that the bridge was about to collapse, the girl made a quick decision and ran over to grab the rope tightly, but her strength was too weak. At this moment, the villagers unexpectedly They all rushed over in the rain. Everyone worked together to finally hold the bridge. The wind and rain were so strong that the villagers could not see the condition of the travelers, but what they didn’t know was that the travelers were about to jump at the end of the second half of the bridge when they rushed to the end. At that moment, lightning struck him. The traveler was completely unable to move at this moment, and it was impossible to jump to the other side, but he could not just crawl back. He understood that his fate would end here, at the end of his life. For a moment, he fired a signal flare into the sky. As the bridge collapsed, he fell into the abyss. However, when the villagers on the edge of the cliff saw the gorgeous signal flare in the sky, they cheered. They thought Travelers create miracles and realize their hopes. No one knows that this is the gift that travelers leave to them at the end of their lives, which is hope."
"For human beings, life and death are inevitable. Because they are weak, but also because of their weakness, the meaning of each person's death is to pass on hope to those who are still alive, and to pass on hope from generation to generation, never ending "
