Chapter 369: I can hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening~
"After all, some people really got a deer, but they didn't know they were dreaming of fish all day. Hahaha, dreaming of fish corresponds to real deer. I, Li, also saw real deer sometimes."
Li Lin laughed loudly, looking crazy.
Li Lin's hair was disheveled and he looked crazy, which scared everyone in the courtyard.
"Boss, are you okay? How come you became like this after that immortal left? Did that person do something to you?"
The woman was so panicked that she lost her composure and thought something had happened to Li Lin.
"Spiritual roots, yes, spiritual roots, my Li family also has an immortal, hahahaha." Li Lin shouted and fainted due to excitement.
"Boss!..."
Everyone suddenly became nervous.
There was a cry of surprise from afar, followed by a commotion in the yard.
Chang Qing, who was far away, was sighing at this moment. He actually lost a game just now.
When he arrived here, the spiritual roots in his body began to stir slightly. That was the reaction when seeing spiritual roots of extremely high grade, just like the reaction when he saw the master of Luozhu Peak. Therefore, Changqing thought that there were disciples living here.
Unexpectedly, when his spiritual sense swept across, he discovered the residence of a group of registered disciples who had no spiritual roots.
This made Changqing a little strange. Among these people, there was one who had a very powerful spiritual root, but he had not practiced it.
Before he could investigate carefully, he was discovered by Li Lin and invited in as a guest.
During the conversation, Chang Qing was unexpectedly attracted to Li Lin.
Changqing didn't know who he was seeing at first and was still wondering, but he didn't expect that Li Lin's appearance gave Changqing some unexpected surprises.
When Li Lin was telling a story, Chang Qing was really concerned about the sense of satisfaction emanating from his whole body. After careful observation, he discovered that it was actually an expression that was unconsciously emanated when one was in a perfect state of mind.
This made Chang Qing even more concerned. How could an ordinary person not care when he was in such a state of mind?
After careful study, Chang Qing finally realized from Li Lin's words that this was a contented person. It did not mean that he had no desires or demands, but that he was satisfied on a spiritual level.
The Buddhist scriptures say:
A contented person is happy even if he lies on the ground. An unsatisfied person is unhappy even if he is in heaven.
Those who are not content are poor even though they are rich. Those who are content are rich even though they are poor. Those who are not content are always bound by the five desires. They are pitied by those who are content. This is called contentment.
But how many people in this world are truly content?
Such a state of mind still surprised Changqing, so Changqing wanted to test it out to see whether Li Linzhi's state of mind was the same as he observed.
Chang Qing used spiritual energy as a guide to bring out the desire in Li Lin's heart.
Under such gentle persuasion, just in that moment, Li Lin's heart opened up, and Chang Qing knew that he had lost.
Li Lin's mind was opened, and although there was excitement in his eyes, there was no trace of greed, and that trace of spiritual energy only satisfied his regret.
As he had never really felt moved, Chang Qing lost to Li Lin in terms of his state of mind.
The perfect state of mind made Changqing at a loss as to where to start.
Everyone in the world thinks that they are unique and that they have a destiny. It is sad and lamentable that they refuse to accept their fate if it is not their destiny.
The candy he made casually was the improved version of the Chou Mu Dan that he made when he was free. However, he never thought that the child was actually Li Lin's son. Chang Qing couldn't help but sigh that it was fate, but it also seemed that destiny was playing tricks on him.
Li Lin's life is already close to perfection, and now his child is going to enter Taoism, which is perfection within perfection. Not only will it not affect his fate, but it will make his fate even better. It can be said to be icing on the cake.
Chang Qing looked at the ordinary house. He would never come here again. After losing a game, that house became a place he longed for. His mood would be copied subconsciously. Li Lin's state of mind was good, but it was not what he pursued.
If he really achieved such a state of mind, he would fall into the devil's barrier. He could see the future at a glance, which was not what he wanted. He wanted to walk his own path.
This place then became an evergreen forbidden area.
On the way up the mountain, Chang Qing lowered his eyes, and Li Lin's words kept echoing in his mind:
"Maybe when I die of old age, you will still be as young as this~"
Chang Qing was like a hysterical person, muttering to himself:
“A short life is a fulfilling one, a long life is a lonely one;
After living for hundreds of years, looking back, there are no old friends;
Some people spend their entire lives trying to practice, while others are blessed with spiritual enlightenment the day they are born.
Some people achieve enlightenment in one day, while others waste their whole life.
Living in poverty for half a lifetime is not as good as living in a wealthy family in the mortal world;
The rich have their sorrows, the poor have their joys;
It’s really hard to tell the clear from the turbid…”
Chang Qing muttered something to himself, and suddenly black and white energy appeared around him, entangled with each other and difficult to distinguish.
After a brief entanglement, the black and white energies quickly separated into two sides, dividing the two sides of his body, clearly distinct.
Chang Qing was completely unaware of this, nor did he notice that the lush bamboo forests on both sides of the road he was walking on, the bamboo forest on the left turned from green to black, withered and died in an instant, and fell to the ground with a loud bang;
The bamboo forest on the right suddenly grew new branches, rising several feet high and becoming lush and green.
Fortunately, Luozhu Peak is very large and there are even fewer disciples, so no one noticed anything unusual here.
Chang Qing seemed to be possessed by a demon, and kept mumbling something:
"What is the difference between the struggle in the human world and the struggle on the path of cultivation? If everything will eventually pass away, then what is the meaning of all this?"
Changqing kept walking, seemingly stuck in an unsolvable problem, trying to find the answer.
He only felt that he was carrying a huge rock on his back. The rock was getting bigger and heavier. His pace was getting slower and slower...
After a long time, Changqing was probably tired, so he squatted down, breathing heavily, looking at the grass leaves in front of him. A mayfly flashed its wings and stood on the grass leaves, looking at the setting sun in the sky, its whole body tense, ready to go, as if it was ready.
The mayfly jumped lightly on the grass leaf, flapped its wings, and chased after the setting sun.
Chang Qing looked at the mayfly that refused to obey his fate, and at the red sun that was only half left in the sky, and sighed: "Do you want to die too?"
The small shadow in the sky flew higher and higher, and farther and farther, without stopping at all, as if it was blending into the red sun.
Changqing suddenly realized and gasped violently, as if he had just gone through a battle.
"It doesn't matter if a mayfly lives for one day or practices for a hundred years. They all seek to obtain the truth."
"As the book "The Analects of Confucius" says, if one hears the truth in the morning, one can be content to die in the evening." As soon as the words fell, the sunset in Changqing's eyes went out in the blink of an eye.
There was a huge call from the dark that was pulling at Changqing's consciousness.
It is difficult to move your gaze towards the distant horizon.
brush brush...
A strong gale rang in Changqing's ears, and the scenery in his eyes kept receding and shrinking.
Changqing's figure rose from the ground in a trance and continued to rise higher.
As it got farther and farther away from the ground, the Yuling Sect became smaller and smaller, until it shrank into a tiny dot and finally became invisible. Soon, the Southern Region also appeared in Changqing's eyes. The Southern Region was very large, so large that it was beyond Changqing's imagination.
Beyond the southern region is the deep blue sea, and upon closer inspection, the continent is divided into five colors.
The northern region was actually frozen by blue and white ice and snow.
The Western Region is a golden expanse, and appears to be a desert.
The eastern region seemed to be extremely lush with trees and dark green.
The Central Region is particularly special. Its domain is larger than the sum of the other four regions, and is covered by a large area of colorful spiritual charm. No wonder the Central Region is said to be a place where spiritual practice flourishes.
