Youzhou in the northeast, late at night! !
It is already early spring, but Youzhou in the north is still extremely cold, and snow can be seen on both sides of the official road.
On the official road, a bloody fight is taking place.
"Brothers, kill, kill them all, good wine, good meat, good women!"
The group of robbers and robbers, with their eyes glowing fiercely, attacked this small caravan frantically, and the people in this caravan also desperately resisted. On the hill, Teng Qingshan in a white robe was standing quietly, overlooking everything below.
Now, it is already the second spring after leaving Dayan Mountain.
"Looting and killing?" Teng Qingshan watched the men and women in the caravan being killed, but his heart did not fluctuate.
"Why?"
"Why is this? How can I be like this now?" Teng Qingshan frowned. Over the past year, he has seen all kinds of joys, sorrows and sorrows in the world, and he has been persuading himself to remain a "bystander" for a long time. , Teng Qingshan has become numb, he saw many infuriating things, but he felt nothing at all.
"Why am I so numb now?"
"Looking at the world, everything and everything is like looking at a skeleton."
Originally, Teng Qingshan thought that watching the land of Kyushu as a "bystander" might be beneficial to understand the "Way of Supreme Power", but suppressing his true nature for a long time has made himself numb and become absolutely " After being a bystander, Teng Qingshan found that his heart was never touched at all.
No anger!
No surprises!
Naturally, I was no longer moved by the world of Kyushu. After seeing the thousands and thousands of people in this world, everything seems to have passed away.
…
The official road returned to silence, corpses were everywhere, the survivors had already left, and Teng Qingshan was still standing on the barren hill next to him, he kept asking himself: "Whatever I look at now, I have become numb. Now, what did I realize? Nothing!"
For a year, Teng Qingshan didn't feel that he had any comprehension.
The only change is to make myself numb and 'inhuman'.
Standing on a barren hill.
It took Teng Qingshan one stop for six days and six nights, during which time there was a heavy snowfall.
Morning of the seventh day.
As the sun rose, Teng Qingshan, who had always been like a sculpture, suddenly woke up.
"Me, what the hell am I doing?"
"Ordinary people, innate, virtual realm, cave virtual, and superpowers are all human! As human beings, we have feelings."
"Without all kinds of emotions, naturally there will be no emotion and perception. Without emotion, how can we comprehend the way of the strongest?" Teng Qingshan's eyes, which were flat and indifferent before, became brighter, and the whole person seemed to be full of vitality. , "To understand this world and know how it works, you should go deep and feel it with your own heart!"
After Teng Qingshan figured it out, his mood seemed to change.
"Ha ha!"
Teng Qingshan laughed loudly, withdrew the power of the world, and suddenly the cold wind blew on his body, and Teng Qingshan's feet were also plunged into the ice and snow.
"Feel it with your heart!"
Teng Qingshan reached out and grabbed a handful of ice and snow, the ice and snow melted quickly.
"Ha ha… "
Teng Qingshan raised his head and laughed loudly, then strode forward.
*****
On the ridge next to the farmland, Teng Qingshan, whose face was full of dust, was lying on his stomach, staring at a small grass, and took a deep breath: "This is the smell of soil, and the smell of life!"
In a river, Teng Qingshan plunged directly into the Taotao River, and after a while, he ate grilled fish on the bank.
…
"For this small amount of money, you can take your mother to see a doctor."
Teng Qingshan handed over a dozen taels of silver to a young man in a poor house in a small town in Liangzhou, and the sick woman wanted to get out of bed to thank him, and the young man even kowtowed.
Teng Qingshan suddenly disappeared.
"Immortal?" Both the young man and the woman were stunned.
But a few miles away, Teng Qingshan, who looked like an ascetic with disheveled hair, had a smile on his face and murmured: "It feels good to help others."
…
In the land of Kyushu, every city, every river, and every mountain left footprints of Teng Qingshan.
Everything is done spontaneously.
Or squat in the mountains and watch a litter of newly born wolves drink milk.
Or sneak into the robber's den and watch the happy and ruthless life in the robber's house.
Or stay in the brothel and watch the bitterness behind the laughing women in the brothel.
Or be the guard of a caravan and feel the hard work of different people.
Or if you meet a young man who wants to learn from a famous teacher, give him some pointers.
…
During this process, Teng Qingshan was sometimes very happy, sometimes very angry, sometimes he could only sigh, but sometimes he had an inexplicable smile on his face... He completely immersed himself in it, feeling other people's lives, feeling The emotions of animals, and even the temperament of vegetation.
In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and there were only three months left before the battle between Teng Qingshan and Pei San.
"The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, the cassock is torn? Uh... I don't have a cassock." Alone, with tattered clothes, Teng Qingshan was humming the tune he often heard in his previous life. When I went to Dayan Mountain, there were obvious changes, like a cold heart that washed away the dust on the surface and melted the ice on the surface of the heart.
Teng Qingshan's heart became clear, like crystal jade.
Heart of a child!
At this time, Teng Qing's heart, after going through the past and present, became numb to seeing all kinds of things in Kyushu before, and then let himself integrate into it... This kind of birth and entry into the world made Teng Qingshan's heart become more sincere than ever!
"There are more than three months to compare with Pei Sanyi?"
Teng Qingshan smiled, "Unfortunately, I haven't made any breakthroughs for more than a year. It seems that after more than three months, I will have to admit defeat." Thinking of this, Teng Qingshan was not dissatisfied at all. Willing, after experiencing so much in the world, what is it to just admit defeat.
"However, the more than a year of travel is worth it."
"These years, I have devoted myself to cultivation, but I have forgotten, what is the purpose of cultivation in this world?"
"The purpose of training is to protect relatives, to enable oneself to gain a foothold in this world, and to inherit the lineage of Neijiaquan."
"But now, my strength is completely capable of protecting my relatives, and the lineage of Neijiaquan has also been passed on. Now that I have achieved my goal of cultivation, I should enjoy the happiness in this world and spend time with my wife and children. "Teng Qingshan has completely awakened him over the past year.
To reach the strongest, he Teng Qingshan has this goal.
But-
People's ambitions are endless, but time is limited. If you spend your limited time on endless ambitions, you will regret it when you die.
Contentment and happiness, since I have reached a high enough height, next, I don't have to worry my wife and children for the sake of ambition.
"This is the boundary of Chu County, so let's walk all the way back to Dayan Mountain." Teng Qingshan smiled.
From Teng Qingshan's point of view, the transformation of his whole mind after more than a year of traveling made him more gratified than the breakthrough in his understanding of the 'Day of Heaven'.
suddenly-
Teng Qingshan heard all kinds of fighting sounds faintly coming from the official road ahead.
"Bandits and gangsters." Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "Sometimes there is no way to go, and then forced to take this road, but the merchants are desperate to make money, and they are innocent." Teng Qingshan this year Many, I have entered the robber's den, and I know that many of the robbers have nowhere to go.
Regardless of the killing in front, Teng Qingshan quickly walked forward instead.
"Forgive me!"
"All heroes, spare your lives. I will give you all the gold and silver. Please spare our lives." At this moment, the killing had stopped, and a certain big merchant on the merchant side was begging for mercy in fear.
Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up: "Hey, isn't this the 'Master Zhou' back then?"
At that time, Master Zhou wanted to rape Li's wife, but was stopped by a Li family boy. At that time, Teng Qingshan saw it with his own eyes: "Unfortunately, this 'Master Zhou' secretly ordered someone to kill the Li family boy. , I was in a state of mind at the time, and I didn't go to help."
At this moment, the obese Master Zhou was in a cold sweat and was begging for mercy.
"Old thief Zhou, look who I am?" A stern voice sounded.
Master Zhou looked up, looked carefully in doubt, and couldn't help but change his face: "It's you, Li Liang? No..."
"Back then, the sky never stopped me, but today, old thief Zhou, I will give you a ride." This stalwart young man named 'Li Liang' stabbed a sharp knife into Master Zhou's big belly, puff, Master Zhou stared wide His eyes couldn't believe that he would die in the hands of this little thief from the Li family in his whole life.
Puchi! The sharp knife was pulled out abruptly.
Immediately, blood spattered.
"Brothers, I have the honor to kill this enemy, thank you brothers."
…
Teng Qingshan walked over in a blink of an eye, but Teng Qingshan could see the reluctance in the eyes of the dead master Zhou, and the joy of that young man named Li Liang.
"It's really amazing."
"Master Zhou actually lost his life at the hands of Li Liang." Teng Qingshan smiled, but suddenly a sliver of understanding rose in his heart, "This is called the reincarnation of the heavens, don't you feel good about retribution?"
"Heavenly cycle?"
Whoosh!
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but flew towards the high sky, flew over a thousand feet in one breath, and then stopped. A touching thing, and all kinds of things he saw with his numb mind.
Teng Qingshan's state of mind suddenly fell into a strange state of mind.
In a detached state, flowers, trees, birds, animals, and many things about human beings flashed through my mind, but all kinds of emotions continued to grow in my heart, as if there was an invisible 'thread' that connected each thing. Get up and make a perfect circle.
"Heavenly cycle."
Teng Qingshan descended slowly, landed in a mountain forest, on the open space next to a tall and ancient osmanthus tree, following the inexplicable feeling in his heart, Teng Qingshan sat cross-legged quietly.
"Grow, grow old."
"All life in the world has peaks and valleys, and also has life and death. The old man dies, and the baby comes."
Sitting quietly under the locust tree, Teng Qingshan closed his eyes.
Various thoughts keep popping up in my mind...
In the Niwan Palace, the originally distinct black mercury-like liquid full of lifelessness, and the white rain-like liquid full of vitality, both extended to open up airflow, and the black airflow and white airflow gradually intertwined, and only a trace appeared. grey…
