Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming looked at the door. Ye Xuan said softly: "Does the other party let us in?"
Ye Zhiming nodded.
Ye Xuan smiled and said: "Then go in!"
After saying that, he walked away.
Ye Zhiming glanced at Ye Xuan, and then followed him.
Soon, Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming entered the door.
Inside the door, there is a cave.
After the two entered the door, they came directly to a small island. Surrounding the small island was endless sea water.
Not far in front of them, there was an old man in white sitting there. In front of the old man in white, there was a chessboard.
Seeing Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming, the old man in white smiled slightly, "Congratulations."
Ye Xuan bowed slightly, "What is the happiness that the senior said?"
The old man in white smiled and said, "You have walked your own path!"
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "That gravel path was made by the senior?"
The old man in white nodded, "Originally I wanted to find a successor for myself, but unfortunately, I didn't find one after waiting for tens of thousands of years. However, a good one finally came, but he walked out of his own way. .. ... .”
As he said this, he shook his head and smiled, "God is playing tricks on me!"
Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I can also be the successor of the predecessors!"
The old man in white smiled and said: "No! Because you already have your own way. To a certain extent, you and I are of the same way."
Ye Xuan was silent.
The old man in white suddenly looked at Ye Zhiming next to Ye Xuan, "This girl is not bad, but unfortunately, she is not from our world, and her origin is not simple..."
Ye Zhiming glanced at the old man in white and said nothing.
Ye Xuandao: "Senior, do you know where she comes from?"
The old man in white smiled and said, "You don't know?"
Ye Xuan shook his head, "She didn't tell me!"
The old man in white smiled slightly, "Then I won't meddle in other people's business!"
Ye Xuan: "..."
The old man in white said softly: "Sit down, let's talk!"
Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, then walked to the old man in white and sat down.
The old man in white raised his head, glanced at the sky, and said softly: "Are you here for the sutra?"
Ye Xuan nodded.
The old man in white smiled, then he took out a black scroll and placed it on the chessboard!
Seeing this black scroll, Ye Zhiming's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Ye Xuan glanced at the black scroll and said, "Is this the Taoist Scripture?"
The old man in white nodded, "There are nine pages in the Taoist Scriptures. One page is one volume. This is the third volume: Variables."
Ye Xuan looked at the old man in white, "Variable?"
The old man in white nodded, "All things in the world are born and die according to variables. Therefore, not only do all things have the phenomena of birth, old age, illness, and death, but the mountains, rivers, and lands in the world also have their rise and fall. Evolution. Human thoughts change with joy, anger, worry, thoughts, sadness, fear, and surprise. The time sequence of nature is spring, summer, autumn, winter, or cold, warm, cold, and heat. In other words, the time sequence of nature is spring, summer, autumn, winter, or cold, warm, cold, and heat. , All things in time are not eternal and change from time to time. The past has gone, the future has not gone, and the present is changing. And all these changes, life and death, are caused by variables. "
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xuan and smiled slightly, "To put it simply, nothing in the universe is static. Since it is moving, it is a "variable"."
And because of this variable, everything in the world becomes meaningful. "
Ye Xuan was silent.
Ye Zhiming on the side suddenly said: "Can the way of variables be controlled by humans?"
The old man in white glanced at Ye Zhiming and said with a smile: "Yes! As the saying goes, man can conquer heaven. Although this statement is not absolute, it is not impossible."
Ye Zhiming was silent.
The old man in white looked at Ye Xuan, "Your kendo has changed and become a brand new kendo, but you have to understand that it is not just the kendo that can change, life is impermanent, and everything in the world has variables! And over the years, I have participated in I understand one thing, that is, life is impermanent. Although we cannot change the world, we can change ourselves. After changing ourselves, we can change the world. If we do not change ourselves, we will be changed by the world. And this variable may make you change. When your life gets worse, it may also make your life better, and this does not depend on variables, but on ourselves. People who work hard often don't live too badly."
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "Senior, you should be able to see the cause of my misfortune, right?"
The old man in white nodded, "Yes."
Ye Xuan looked at the old man in white, who smiled slightly, "Actually, you are already changing yourself."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. Soon, he bowed slightly and said, "I understand!"
The cause of the disaster!
Once upon a time, he had no idea what the cause of the disaster was. He could only be manipulated and manipulated.
But now, he has been able to change!
Just like at this moment, although he met Ye Zhiming because of the disaster, he also came to this place because of Ye Zhiming, broke through the sword and became stronger!
As this Taoist scripture says, there are no absolutes in the world. Many times, even a bad thing can turn into a good thing!
It’s up to you to decide!
On the contrary, many times, good things can turn into bad things!
This is the variable!
The variable is not in the way of heaven, but in oneself.
Variability is a truth of the universe, but it is also a truth of life, and it can be controlled by people.
In front of Ye Xuan, the old man in white had a hint of complexity in his eyes, "Young man, you are better than me back then!"
Ye Xuan quickly said: "Senior, you are overly praised!"
The old man in white said with a smile: "You are indeed better than me. I was too attached to this scripture back then. In fact, this scripture is a road that others have walked. However, even if there is no road, we can also find a way ourselves. Of! Just like you!"
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "Senior, someone also said this to me, junior!"
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man in white, "People from outside?"
Ye Xuan nodded.
The old man in white smiled slightly, "It seems that there are many masters in the world!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the position in front of Ye Xuan, "Once upon a time, a sword cultivator came here."
Ye Xuan said solemnly: "But a sword cultivator wearing cloud-white robes?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man in white, "How did you know?"
Ye Xuan smiled and said: "I have his sword, and I just came here. This sword is ringing. I guess its previous owner may have been here!"
The old man in white smiled and said: "That's it! After meeting this person, I suddenly understood a sentence, when we think this peak is the highest, we don't know that there is a higher peak."
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "Senior, have you ever fought against him?"
The old man in white nodded, "We have fought."
Ye Xuan asked, "Who wins and who loses?"
The old man in white smiled and said: "I lost! I
Failed to take his sword! "
Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked moved.
Ye Zhiming also frowned. The strength of the old man in white in front of him should have reached that level. He didn't even take the opponent's sword!
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "You didn't even receive a single sword?"
The old man in white nodded, "Yes."
Ye Xuan asked, "Why?"
The old man in white smiled and said: "This has to go back to the most basic truth, a truth that all of us will ignore."
Ye Xuan asked, "What?"
The old man in white looked at Ye Xuan, "Extreme!"
Ye Xuan was a little confused, "Extreme?"
The old man in white said softly: "When we do something, even if it is a very, very small thing, but if we can do it to the extreme, it will be very scary. That sword cultivator does not cultivate his mind and does not cultivate his mind. , does not cultivate the Dao, let alone the realm, he only cultivates the sword. He does not cultivate the mind, so he is neither good nor evil; he does not cultivate, because the sword is the principle, and the principle is the sword; he does not cultivate the Dao, because the sword is the Tao. , Tao is his sword; he does not cultivate the realm, so he has no realm, and therefore is not bound by the realm."
As he spoke, he picked up a chess piece on the chessboard in front of him and placed it outside the chessboard. He said softly: "He is not on the chessboard. He is his own variable. This kind of person, to all living beings on the chessboard, he He is invincible, because he is outside the chessboard and is not subject to the rules of chess. But I am still on the chessboard, so if he kills me, one sword is enough."
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "Am I also on the chessboard?"
Ye Zhiming glanced at Ye Xuan, she hesitated, and then said: "Don't you have any idea?"
Ye Xuan: "......"
The old man in white smiled and said: "You are still on the chessboard, but you are now familiar with the rules of the chessboard. Therefore, few people on this chessboard are your opponents. However, you are not invincible, do you understand?"
Ye Xuan nodded, "I understand!"
The old man in white hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have one more thing to say. It's not about martial arts or Taoism. It's just some of my own insights. Will you be willing to listen to me, my descendant?"
Any fool knows how to choose!
Ye Xuan said quickly: "Senior, please tell me!"
The old man in white held a chess piece in his hand and said softly: "I once gave up too much in order to pursue the so-called great road. Love, family, friendship... I once had these, but later, But I gave up on them because of the so-called Dao in my heart."
As he said that, he looked at Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming, "Young man, mysterious girl, pursuing the road is lonely, extremely lonely. Don't give up those who care about you and the things you care about for the sake of the so-called road in your heart. People. When one day you reach a certain peak, but find that there is no one around you, that feeling is really uncomfortable and uncomfortable, because no one shares your joy with you, and no one accompanies you to continue walking into the future. The road. At that time, invincibility was a kind of irony for you, because it was lonely invincibility..."
Ye Xuan was silent.
Ye Zhiming was silent.
Somewhere in the distant starry sky, a woman in a plain skirt suddenly stopped. She took out a small wooden man, looked at the wooden man in her hand, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then she continued to move forward.
Once, she was invincible, but lonely!
Today, she is still invincible, but she is no longer alone.
... ... ..
PS: Once upon a time, I had many monthly passes, but I was lonely.
Now, I don’t have a monthly pass. I'm even more lonely!
