"I originally had no worries, just like a lonely person in the world with nothing to worry about."
Dapeng looked up at the bright moon above his head. The moon's light shone on his body, and the black robe was still pitch black.
It's like blending into the night...
"Back then, I watched Feng Zun grow up, and I wanted to tell her the truth about the catastrophe. But her temperament was just like that of the previous Demon Lord, and I was afraid that she would make the same choices as the Confucian Sage."
"So I chose to hide that secret and wanted to face everything alone. If I refine the flesh and blood of half of the people in the world, I will have a chance to become a saint!"
Dapeng talked about the past in a daze...
"After I become a saint, I can easily kill the Jedi and enter the other half of the Nine Heavens."
"Buying ten thousand years of time for us in this world..."
"Despite this, I will have no place in the two nine heavens and become a sinner criticized by thousands of people in the world!"
"But I don't care. Anyway, there is no one in this world worth caring about."
"Those who work for the world are doomed to be lonely..."
Dapeng looked at Su Jingyan and continued, "It's just that your appearance in Jedi exceeded my expectations."
"You used your life to buy thousands of years for Jiutian."
"But I was confused..."
"I seem to be gradually losing my sight of the world!"
Dapeng spoke as if talking to himself, and Su Jingyan just listened silently.
The wind in the cool night seems to carry many things that are incomprehensible. It carries the unknown things and wanders between the sky and the earth.
It seems to have something to do with the true meaning...
"After you died, I wandered alone in the world and entered the world of mortals. I wanted to see what in this world of mortals was worthy of you."
"I have been sinking for a long time, wandering all over the world. I thought that there is nothing worthwhile in this world of mortals, except for the good wine that makes people obsessed with themselves." Dapeng shook the wine in his hand, raised his head and took a small sip.
"Until that day, I met a little girl on the street..."
"She thought I was a beggar and dropped two worldly coins in front of me..."
"She is just an ordinary person who doesn't even have the spiritual roots to practice."
"But they gave me their precious silver..."
"I have secretly protected her all my life and never appeared in front of her."
"I watched her grow up, watch her get married, watch her give birth to children, and then grow old... The life span of the world is really short, only a few decades!"
"She is also like that, but she doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with anything, even if this life is mediocre."
"Before she died, I asked her: What regrets did she have?"
"If she wants to live a few more days, I have a way to extend her life span for another hundred years."
"But she said: Being able to live a peaceful and happy life is already the dream of countless people. What else can be dissatisfied?"
"Peace and joy, it turns out that this is all the world's pursuits..."
Su Jingyan listened to Dapeng's words, sighed slowly, and sat next to Dapeng with the sleeping little girl in his arms.
Dapeng continued, "So, an idea came into my mind. I wanted to find back the mortal mind that was abandoned when I transformed into a god, and live my own ordinary life."
"And then died..."
"But I don't know how I can find the mortal meaning that has been cut off long ago..."
"Then I thought of you!"
Dapeng looked at the quiet and peaceful everything around him. The wind, the bright moon, and the flowers were all so beautiful. "I will go to the ninth day alone to find your family."
"I discovered that you have a younger sister..."
"This girl is so sensible. She is like a dharma figure in the world of mortals. In order to wait for you, she has set her own age."
"So, I concealed my identity and wanted to accept her as my only disciple in this life."
"It's just that this girl is too smart!"
"She knew who I was when she saw me...but she didn't say anything and still followed me."
"Later, I asked her why she was willing to become my disciple even though she knew who I was and that I had harmed you."
"She seemed to have a lot of reasons."
"I only remember two. The first one is: She wanted her brother to be able to help her one day."
"The second is: She saw my loneliness and wandering... just like his brother..."
Su Jingyan slowly lowered his head, leaning against the little girl's face, speechless.
He has always known how smart the little girl is.
But when she was with Su Jingyan, she seemed to just want to be a little girl by his side.
Dapeng looked at the little girl in Su Jingyan's arms. Her face was full of wrinkles, but her twilight aura looked like a kind old man.
"It seems that from then on, I found the mortal meaning that was cut off by myself..."
"I picked up the ordinary mind and gave up the supreme cultivation that was dissipated by picking up the ordinary mind."
"I will take her to practice..."
"Take her to all the places I can go in this world!"
"I don't know since when, what she had in mind has become my master's obsession..."
Su Jingyan looked at Dapeng's swaying body and sighed deeply.
"You're dying!"
Dapeng waved his hands calmly, and responded in a contented and calm manner: "If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't worried about her waiting for you alone, I would have died long ago."
"She wants to wait until her brother comes back, and I'm not willing to die like this!"
"Now that you are back, I can leave with peace of mind..."
Dapeng's body was swaying, as if it was finally unable to hold on due to the disappearance of the obsession in his heart.
In order to pick up Fanyi, the power of cultivation that was incompatible with Fanyi dispersed, making him become a god...
Now even the little girl's cultivation level is a whole level higher than his!
The lifespan of the transformed god cannot be compared with the predicament. If it were not supported by obsession, it would have long since dissipated between heaven and earth.
Su Jingyan looked at Dapeng with a complicated expression. After pondering for a long time, he finally said: "If you don't want to die, I can let you live for another thousand years..."
Dapeng trembled slightly when he heard this, his eyes flickering as he looked at Su Jingyan, as if he wanted to see clearly Su Jingyan's cultivation level.
However, he couldn't see clearly.
Who in this world would dare to let him live another thousand years?
For some reason, he believed Su Jingyan's words, but still shook his head: "Death like this is my original intention to find the meaning of life."
"If I continue to live, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble again."
"That's good..."
Dapeng had a smile on his face, as if he was extremely satisfied with this life.
Su Jingyan looked at Dapeng, who seemed to have seen through life and death, and sighed deeply...
"Do you still want to talk to her?"
Dapeng looked at the little girl sleeping peacefully in Su Jingyan's arms, and gently refused, "Don't disturb her, let her have a good rest..."
Su Jingyan nodded, raised his head and looked at the bright moon.
Under the moon, the three of them listened to the sound of the wind singing, accompanied by their own lifelong realization...
Dapeng also slowly raised his head and looked at Mingyue, with a smile on his face... and his breath gradually disappeared.
"The world of mortals is like an adverse journey, and I am also a traveler..."
