Wu Tian entered a state of ecstasy, and tried his best to comprehend those words.
noon.
The two little ones came back from chopping wood and prepared lunch. Shao Ling went to call Wu Tian but was stopped by Ye Xiuling.
The little girl was also very sensible and stopped bothering Wu Tian. She dragged Ye Xiuling and the others to eat. They were both Ten Tribulations Spirits, so why did they need to eat to fill their stomachs? But the little girl's kindness was hard to refuse, so they had no choice but to go with her.
As a result, I saw that the two plates of wild vegetables were mushy and black. I didn't want to eat them, let alone even look at them.
The only dish of venison tasted bitter and salty, and I couldn't eat it at all.
Shao Ling sat at the dining table, lowered her head, her face flushed, and said awkwardly: "Sister, I'm sorry, my brother and I are both cooking for the first time, we don't know anything, how about you just make do with it?"
Ye Xiuling certainly wouldn't eat it, and said with a smile: "This kind of food is not good for your health, especially for children like you. It must be clean. I think I should go and make some for you. You can't go hungry."
The old woman in black robe frowned and said, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Although I have never cooked before, it's just a meal, it shouldn't be a problem for me."
Ye Xiuling smiled, went into the backyard and cooked herself.
In the end, the food was indeed ready, but it was either too salty or too bland, and not even cooked through.
Ye Xiuling was stunned at the table. As a ten-tribulation god, she couldn't even cook a meal. She had never felt so embarrassed as at that moment.
"Let me do it!"
At this moment, Wutan's faint laughter came from outside. He strode into the backyard and re-fried the food on the table one by one. After a while, three side dishes and a plate of venison were served on the table. The aroma was so fragrant that Ye Xiuling was stunned.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You never thought that life for mortals would be so difficult."
Ye Xiuling smiled bitterly and said, "I really didn't expect it."
Wu Tian sat on a stone bench and said, "Let's eat together. Even though this is just mortal food, if you taste it carefully, you will find that it has a unique flavor."
"That would be disrespectful."
Ye Xiuling smiled, sat next to Wu Tian, and said with a smile: "Come and try it too!"
"Miss, I don't need it."
The old woman in black robe waved her hands and looked at the side dishes on the table with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Wutan noticed it clearly, but didn't pay any attention to it. He asked the two little ones to start eating.
Ye Xiuling did not force it. She picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of wild grass, put it into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "How does it taste?"
Ye Xiuling picked up another piece of venison, swallowed it, and said, "The wild vegetables are a bit bitter, and the venison is a bit salty."
Wu Tian smiled faintly, looked at Shao Chen who was wolfing down his food, and said, "Little guy, go get a jar of wine and four wine glasses."
"drink wine?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Chen's eyes lit up immediately and he ran to the second floor happily. He soon came back with a wine jar and four wine glasses.
Wu Tian said: "Fill them all up."
After Shao Chen opened the wine jar and filled the four glasses, Wu Tian smiled and said, "Try them all."
Shao Chen and his sister grabbed the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp. A blush immediately appeared on their little faces, and they looked very enjoyable.
Ye Xiuling glanced at Wutan suspiciously, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Wu Tian glanced at the three of them and said with a smile: "Now tell me, how does this wine make you feel?"
"Cool!"
"happy!"
This is the answer from the two little ones.
Ye Xiuling frowned and said, "Apart from the fact that it tastes a bit unpalatable, there's nothing special about it."
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Try it carefully again."
The two little ones filled their glasses with wine and began to taste it in a serious manner.
Shao Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle, it seems to taste a bit spicy and sour."
Shao Ling followed up, "But after the spiciness wears off, the fragrance will linger in your mouth."
"Spicy? Leaving fragrance?"
Ye Xiuling looked at the wine in the glass in confusion, put it to her lips, took a sip, her eyes lit up, and she nodded to Wutan.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Then try these side dishes."
"What the hell are you doing?"
Ye Xiuling looked at him in confusion.
The old woman in black robe also looked at Wutan in confusion. What kind of medicine was this little guy up to
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Wait until you taste it first."
"You're so secretive. If I hadn't seen you make these dishes with my own eyes, I would have suspected that you had poisoned them."
Ye Xiuling rolled her eyes at him, picked up a piece of wild vegetable and put it in her mouth, tasting it carefully. A hint of surprise gradually appeared on her face. Then she picked up a piece of venison, and after tasting it carefully, the surprise on her face became even stronger.
She put down her bamboo chopsticks, looked at Wu Tian curiously, and asked, "How could this happen? When I ate it just now, it was obviously a little bitter and a little salty, but now, why is it a little sweet and has a hint of fragrance?"
"hehe."
Wu Tian smiled slightly, ate a piece of venison, and drank a glass of strong liquor, and then said: "The fine wine and delicacies in the world are just delicious and tasty if you don't pay attention to them, but if you taste them carefully, you can taste the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors in them. This is just one of the various flavors in the world."
“Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty?”
Ye Xiuling frowned slightly.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she asked in surprise, "Have you figured out the true meaning of that sentence?"
“Transform your body into a mortal, and your mind into one;
Appreciate the various aspects of the world and understand the mysteries of life and death. "
Wu Tian smiled and said, "The true meaning of this sentence is actually very easy to comprehend, but also very difficult."
Ye Xiuling asked: "Why do you say that?"
The old woman in black robe and the two little kids also looked at him curiously.
Of course, Ye Xiuling and the old woman in black robe were truly curious, and the two little ones were just there to join in the fun.
"To become a mortal means to turn yourself into a mortal and completely integrate into the life of mortals."
“Returning to one’s mind means forgetting all worries and desires, truly integrating your mind into nature and the mundane world, making your mind peaceful and calm, and then experiencing and enjoying life with your heart.”
"If you are a person who truly has no desires, you can easily see through these two points, but who in the world can be free of desires?"
"Cultivators pursue strength, power, and resources. Ordinary people pursue life and profit. Even Buddhist monks cannot escape the long river of desire."
“How can you calm down if you can’t get rid of desires?”
"If you can't calm your mind, how can you integrate your heart into the mortal world?"
"If you can't integrate into the mortal world, how can you understand the various aspects of the world? Naturally, you can't understand the true meaning of this sentence."
Wutan said slowly, and after he finished speaking, his eyes became different. It was a real calmness, without any impurities.
His energy and spirit also reached an unprecedented state, and he could feel that his mind was undergoing a transformation.
"I see."
Ye Xiuling suddenly realized. It was not until today that she realized that what her father said was not profound at all, but she just couldn't calm down and comprehend it.
The old woman in black robe said: "My friend, what you said is indeed reasonable, but why is it Fanchen?"
“Everything in the world comes from the mortal world. The mortal world is both the end and the beginning.”
Wutan only said this one sentence, then fell silent and drank by himself.
Ye Xiuling and the old woman in black robe lowered their heads, trying to comprehend this sentence carefully.
Shao Ling thought about it and said, "I know."
"what do you know?"
Ye Xiuling and the other person looked over.
"What Uncle Ugly meant by this sentence is that this piece of heaven and earth belong to the mortal world, and we who are born in this piece of heaven and earth, no matter how strong we are, cannot escape from this piece of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to being unable to escape from the mortal world. When we die and are buried in the earth, this is the end. When we are born in this mortal world, it is the starting point."
After Shao Ling finished speaking, he turned to look at Wu Tian and said with a grin, "Uncle, am I right?"
"You are very smart."
Wu Tian rubbed her little head, held her on his lap and sat down, saying with a smile: "Some people think they are extremely powerful and think they have escaped from the mortal world. I, your ugly uncle, used to think so. But in fact, I am still in the mortal world. Even if we break through this world and enter the outer realm, there is still another world to bind us."
Wu Tian asked: "Do you know what the mortal world is?"
The little girl shook her head.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Wherever there is life, it is the mortal world. Where there are grudges, it is the mortal world. Where there is air, water, and dust, it is the mortal world. Where there is light and darkness, it is still the mortal world."
"So this is the mortal world."
The little girl nodded, not quite understanding. Wutan didn't expect her to understand it now. After all, she was still young, only twelve years old, and this knowledge was still very far away for her.
But Ye Xiuling and the other person suddenly felt enlightened.
Wu Tian was right, everywhere is the mortal world.
Life, grudges, air, water, light, dust, brightness, darkness, where are these things not present
Even if there is no life in some special places, there will always be air!
And air, this invisible thing, can be said to be everywhere and can penetrate any pore.
After realizing this, the two of them were filled with admiration.
Mortal world, a word that is often on people's lips, a pronoun that is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary. No one will care about it, and no one will think about it too much. Most of the time, it is ignored. However, such a simple word contains such a profound truth.
The two of them couldn't help but look at Wutan, with admiration and shock at the same time. Their eyes were as if they were looking at a monster.
Wu Tian shook his head and smiled: "Don't look at me like that. If I hadn't been here for the past ten years, I wouldn't have been able to understand these truths so quickly."
Ye Xiuling rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Don't be so modest. If someone else had the same conditions as you, they might not be able to figure it out either."
The old woman in black robe asked, "My friend, what about the last sentence? What does it mean to understand the mysteries of life and death?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "I haven't figured out this sentence yet. Maybe my heart is not calm enough, or maybe it is different from what I imagined. But I have a hunch that when I figure this out, I will be reborn."
"You really haven't figured it out? Or do you not want to tell us?"
Ye Xiuling questioned.
"You always say, I don't believe you, but when have you ever believed me?"
Wutan shook his head and stopped talking. He didn't take it to heart. After saying so much, it was time to fill his hungry stomach.
