Spring, late spring.
In the East China Sea, a young man wearing ordinary coarse clothes was standing calmly on a big rock by the sea, and beside him, a well-behaved and cute eight or nine-year-old girl with white skin and indescribable appearance was holding his hand, Ask him curiously, "Father, why did you bring me here today?"
The young man smiled, but did not speak.
Under the warm spring sunshine, a small boat suddenly appeared on the sea.
A plain-looking woman stood at the bow of the boat. She first saluted the young man, and then smiled and waved to the little girl who looked like a jade carving.
"It's Aunt Wan! It's Aunt Wan who's back!" When the little girl saw the woman at the bow, she burst into cheers, "Father, you knew that Aunt Wan was coming back today, so you brought me here to wait. Is it?"
The young man took her soft little hand and nodded with a smile.
"Then what about the father-in-law you mentioned?" The little girl looked at the young man happily, "Father, you said it was the father-in-law who brought you here, and it was the first time you saw the sea here, and now Aunt Wan is back Is he coming back?"
The young man shook his head lightly, "I don't know."
"Why do you know when Aunt Wan will come back, but you don't know when that father-in-law will come back?"
"Because I couldn't find that father-in-law." The young man looked at his daughter who couldn't understand, "He, like your mother, has gone to a far, far away place. Later, I found your mother back, but again When I was looking for your father-in-law, I couldn’t find it. Later, I figured it out. He had his own affairs, and he might have gone to find the person he was looking for. When he wants to come back, he will come back to see us. .”
"Oh." The little girl nodded half-understanding, "Aunt Wan! Aunt Wan!" Seeing that the boat was getting closer, the little girl shouted excitedly again, and tugged at the young man again. "Father, why does Aunt Wan only come back once or twice a year? Why doesn't she live with us?"
"Aunt Wan also has her own business." The young man smiled, looking at the woman standing at the bow with warm eyes.
Amidst the cheers of the little girl, the boat drew close to the shore.
"Aunt Wan, did you bring me any fun presents this time?" The little girl threw herself into the woman's arms.
"What nonsense, how can you ask someone for a gift as soon as you meet?" The young man reprimanded with a smile.
"I haven't seen you in a year, and you've grown so tall." The woman with a plain face smiled and stroked the little girl's head, stretched out her hand and moved it slightly, and said "barking" several times, but she took out a lovely hair from her wide sleeves. little yellow dog.
"Ah! Puppy! My favorite puppy! Father, I finally have a puppy of my own." The little girl screamed happily when she saw it, and took the puppy from the woman's hand , hugged, refused to let go.
"Let's go, they haven't seen you for a long time." The young man smiled and nodded to the woman.
"By the way, Aunt Wan, next time you bring a gift, you have to bring two, because I have a younger brother."
"Brother?" The woman was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the young man, "Master, you and your wife are still pregnant..."
The young man smiled slightly and shook his head, "It's Xuan Wuqi and Bai Luo."
"They finally..." The woman laughed in surprise.
"Human affection is the most mysterious and subtle thing in the world. Only after experiencing it can we have more understanding of the world, cause and effect." The young man looked at the plain-faced woman and said, "This is exactly what I am. Why do you want to enter the world, if there is a suitable one, you can also experience it yourself. It will be beneficial to your practice."
"If there is something suitable, I will naturally listen to Master's instruction." The plain-faced woman blushed slightly.
"Let's go." The young man didn't say anything more, he led the happy girl and walked towards an ordinary fishing village in the distance.
"Uncle Yu!"
Not long after, the joyous little girl screamed happily again.
On a road outside the fishing village, a man in a red shirt stood in front of a carriage, smiling and watching the young man and the little girl approaching with kind eyes.
In an ordinary small fishing village, there are lights and festoons. In front of an ordinary house, there is a big canopy and many tables of banquets. Almost all the fishermen in the village helped together to prepare the upcoming banquet.
"Allo has another guest."
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, many enthusiastic villagers greeted them. Those who led the horses led the horses, and those who pulled the carts pulled the carts, and settled the carriages and horses of the man in red shirt.
"Yu Shiqing, you are finally here."
A gentle laugh sounded, and Tong Wugu, who was dressed as a fisherman, came out to greet him, his hands were wet, as if he had just washed the dishes.
Caishu, Lin Hang, Ji Dongyan, Xiaocha, Nalan Ruoxue, Su Xinyue... and Xuan Wuqi and Fairy Bai Luo, who were holding a little boy who could barely walk, also came out.
No one would have thought that these legendary characters, like ordinary people, live peacefully in an ordinary village.
…
In the middle of the night, the lively banquet finally came to an end. Those simple and simple fishermen only thought that Aluo and the others had so many friends, and that so many people came from far away for the birthday wine of Axuan's son, but they didn't know it. How many stories have happened to people like Luo Bei and Yu Shiqing.
"The half-faced old man left, and he asked me to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Luo Bei looked through the dark night sky, and seemed to see the old man with a ferocious face, but his eyes were unspeakably wise. "He should understand that if no one around him is there, then Living another ten thousand years is meaningless to people like us. And without them, we would not be where we are today."
"He asked me to thank you, not because you spent 10,000 years of life to help them rebuild their souls and bodies." Yu Shiqing shook his head, "He asked me to thank you, but thank you for allowing him to be so calm Spend his life. Thank you for allowing him to live according to his wishes."
"What about you?" Luo Bei turned around and took a look at Yu Shiqing.
"You don't need to do anything for me." Yu Shiqing smiled, "Now it is just to let people know that there are people like you, and the world of cultivation will be as peaceful as it is now, and there will be no such ambitious people like Huang Wushen. Characters. I have experienced countless lives in the past tens of thousands of years... Sometimes remembering too many things is not a good thing. Why not spend ten thousand years chasing your own memories bit by bit like Ye Qingcheng. There are also thousands of years Shouyuan, enough is enough. We have experienced everything, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Luo Bei also smiled.
Nalan Ruoxue and Luo Bei stood hand in hand, watching Lin Xiaowan leave.
Yu Shiqing left...the people from Cihang Jingzhai also left...Lin Xiaowan also left.
Now in the whole world, there are countless monsters. With Luobei's ability, it was possible to kill them all. However, Luo Bei always felt that with the existence of these monsters, the entire monastic world would be much quieter.
Without the threat of these monsters, some people may not want to fight monsters, but will want to fight people.
Luobei is neither Huang Wushen nor Kuang Wuxin. Without an opponent, he will not feel bored.
Because there are many things in this world every day, which are worthy of his attention and worthy of his listening.
How long has it been since you lay in the meadow under your eyes and breathed in the fragrance of the new grass? How long has it been since you lay quietly on a bamboo chair and counted the stars in the sky? How often have you not noticed the wildflowers in bloom, the young trees in the field bursting with green buds
It took Luobei 30,000 years to survive the Nine Tribulations. In this world, there is no truly immortal immortal. In tens of thousands of years, perhaps the lifespan of Luobei and those around him will also be exhausted.
But there are so many reassuring and happy things in this world, what is there to be dissatisfied with
With Luobei's cultivation base, if he travels through the void and pursues it hard, he may be able to obtain a longer lifespan. But if you spend tens of thousands of years of hard training, and then find tens of thousands of years of longevity, what are you doing for it
It's not that you can be with your beloved, be free, face the sea, and enjoy the warmth of spring.
