Master glanced at me, his eyes full of amusement and memories, then patted me on the back and said: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, eager to know what happened? I'm telling you about curiosity. The words "killing the cat" are probably useless."
I said that Master’s look in his eyes turned out to be a reminder of my curious childhood. If not, how could I have brought Ruyue and Surou to the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts
In fact, there are many unsolved mysteries in this life, just like the hungry ghost ship that I was saved from when I was a child... it suddenly disappeared mysteriously on the water. To this day, I still can’t figure out where it went. And the ship that Master gave me The explanation is just a simple explanation. He only knows how to do many things, but he doesn't know why he does it.
This matter is still lingering in my heart. I think I am actually the kind of person who wants to know everything deep down.
And the reason is because the separations made me lose the sense of security. I always feel that I know everything and I feel confident in my heart.
Master didn't think as much as I did. He just said: "Because Penglai is... to be precise... I don't know what to use to describe it. In short, it is mobile. You can understand it when you get close to it. It is the bridge to Kunlun. To be more straightforward, in modern terms, Penglai is the means of transportation to Kunlun."
The master frowned when he said this, and it seemed that he was not very sure about this matter.
I took a long breath. In Chinese legends, Penglai is a fairy island on the sea... But according to Master, it actually moves on the sea? And it’s also a means of transportation to Kunlun? This is completely different from the Penglai I imagined.
"Master, what's on Penglai?" In fact, this is my most curious question. Master said that he is not qualified to go to Penglai, so what kind of existence can be on Penglai
"It's shrouded in mist and you can't see clearly... But you knew at that time that we were following a dragon that turned into a dragon... It climbed up to Penglai! I think there really is the person on Penglai that people in the world say Immortal, or various legendary creatures, right? No matter how bad it is, it's still an existence like your master... Actually, I don't know, but you can feel that it is completely different from this world, and you can feel its immortal energy. , can you feel what it does?" There was a deeper confusion in the master's eyes, as well as a look of reminiscence... but no feeling of yearning.
This makes me feel very curious. After all, we are so close to the legendary fairyland. How could we not yearn for it? I asked: "Master, are you really sure that is Penglai? Why don't you look yearning for it at all?"
"I'm sure that's Penglai, don't ask me why... In short, when you see it, you can be sure that it is Penglai. As for yearning, why should I yearn for it? I am an old man with no pursuits, and no The so-called pursuit of metaphysics is just to hope that every action is in line with the way of heaven, with a certain bottom line, and it is enough to be worthy of one's own conscience... No matter how good the place where the gods live, it can't resist the people I care about in this world... This It’s so-called that you can’t see through the world of mortals.” At this point, the master lit his dry smoke, and the wind on the top of the mountain quickly blew away the smoke of the dry smoke.
But what can't be blown away is the familiar smell of dry smoke. Although some things have been added to the snow-capped mountains, it is already a little unfamiliar.
My eyes were a little hot. Master said it in an understatement, but I understood what he was saying... When he went to Kunlun, he was surrounded by people close to him. If there was anything he cared about the most in the world, it made him even miss the fairyland. The only person I don’t yearn for is me.
In addition, I also know that everything I have experienced should be full of dangers, but Master explained it very briefly... Maybe he just didn't want me to worry.
Master met the remnant soul of the master in Penglai, so all the problems can be easily explained. Why does the master have the remnant soul of the master? Why does the master know so much... including the opening of the so-called great era, including the younger generation? They came out one after another, including me as a key figure.
Just thinking of the clues Jiang Yi gave me at that time, I still couldn't help but want to ask.
In this moment of silence, I sorted out the questions one by one.
This is probably what Master hinted at in the video. What does it mean
Master was injured in one of the DVDs. At that time, we observed fluctuations in the water surface... .
How did Master finally appear in that mysterious space in Guidawan? Why do you tell me that I only have one year left to live
And what does the master mean by guarding against Jiang Yi? If it wasn't for defense, how could he have hinted at me in the video
When I asked the question, Master was very silent. After listening to my questions, he began to answer them one by one: "Chengyi, when I decided to go to Kunlun, it was not an impulsive move... but something that happened when I decided to go to Kunlun." I set off after picking up certain clues and your Uncle Li’s prediction. After all, your master is the one who grew up with us. There are many details and many memories. It is impossible not to have even a single clue. And for such a long time, I I have been collecting and deciphering clues... When I have free time, I have walked through many places that your master has walked along the way... Many things are becoming clearer and clearer."
"Then Uncle Li...?" My face suddenly became heavy. Now we are all in the snow mountains, but Uncle Li's lonely grave is still in the bamboo forest. Does he feel lonely? Probably not. That was the burial place he chose, and he was accompanied by his little sister-in-law whom I had never met before. It should be very peaceful, right
It's just... When all the important people gathered, only Uncle Li was missing, and I felt inexplicably sad when I thought about it... That tall, serious man, whose handsomeness could not be concealed by time, silently The man who follows me and even knows how many classes I skipped at school... What would it be like if he were here now
In fact, I know that he has long acquiesced that Master and I are the core of everyone's followers in Lao Li's lineage... And whatever happened that made him dissatisfied with Master, he has probably already forgiven us.
If not, how could he be so concerned about my virtue, everything about me
When I mention Uncle Li, I feel very heavy... But there is one person who is heavier than me, and that is my master... He has always been very calm, but when he mentions Uncle Li, even the hand holding the dry tobacco pole is shaking, as if The very light dry tobacco pole was extremely heavy, and he could hardly lift it.
Unlike me, Master rarely cries... When he reached that state of mind, he had a great detachment that life and death are reincarnations and there is no need to be sad. However, under the starlight, I still saw his eyes clearly red, and he gasped for a long time before finally Calmed down.
"Your uncle Li also wanted to find your master back then... He was an orphan and was adopted by your master since he was a child. He once said that in terms of feelings... his feelings for your master are deeper than any of us. , we are both master and parents, how can we give up? However, he also said, we have all gone to find your master, the result is undecided... The little junior sister is left alone, it is inevitable to be lonely... Then he will Come with me and watch us come back. Chengyi, at that time, your Uncle Li knew that he was not going to die soon. With my peace charm to protect him, it only lasted less than 10 years... After all, he was soaked in the second line of life divination. It's been a long time since I've sensed the way of heaven..." At this point, the master couldn't go on. A faint sigh accompanied by a choked 'gurgling' sound from his throat made the master a little unable to go on.
I can’t even tell what I feel inside? I didn't dare to ask about the past of Master Li and Little Master... It would be disrespectful to ask, but anyone who is not a fool can feel the deep affection in it.
Once upon a time, I felt that life was a cycle, an inheritance of destiny from generation to generation... Master followed the footsteps of our ancestors, and we were behind the masters, following their steps... At that time, Master Li The relationship with the junior sister, after decades of reincarnation, also happened to Brother Chengqing and Chengyuan...
Just like the fate between Master and Ling Qing, it also brought about a fate between Ruxue and I... I'm thinking, if I were Uncle Li, would I make the same choice? Maybe it will be the same... But, thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask Master: "Master, you just said that Master Li has less than 10 years to live, but... even eight years? How could he? So early..."
"It's very simple. He made a calculation without telling us at the cost of burning his life... He said that if we can't go on the road together to find the master, then we should use this heart to let the master know his thoughts... Because, his original The destiny is like this, and the use of the Peace Talisman is forced... It is better to just follow the destiny, God has arranged everything." At this point, two lines of tears finally fell on the master's face.
He didn't say anything more... But I could feel how sad he felt after knowing that Master Li had calculated a way for them without telling them.
And I also went back to that day in a trance, after all the masters disappeared... a scene of a lost voice and shadow carrying Uncle Li's urn to Zhulin Xiaozhu.
It rains one after another... Life has been plagued by parting since ancient times... So the parting that thousands of years cannot see through is just the result of the strong emotional power in people's hearts... But so what if you understand? Rainy days will eventually rain, and farewells will be sad, and they will always be sad.
God requires us to be vulnerable, but I feel that God does not make us vulnerable, but makes us love more... to the old and the old, and to the young and the young.
This is the most precious thing in the world.
