Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 708. Chapter 707.

The second master once said that those who practice being one with the light do not need to pursue the realms and principles set by the world. They only need to step over the step and threshold step by step to be one with the light. Immortal in time.

Li Zhen didn't believe it.

It's not that he thinks it's impossible, but that he feels that the so-called eternal egg is useless from the beginning to the end.

Don't you live forever?
What is the use?

Why does everyone feel that living longer is a benefit rather than a disadvantage?
What a painful punishment this must be?
Therefore, he cultivated, but not refined.

Just enough is enough.

I never expected to rely on it to board any avenue.

Or, to put it more bluntly, even if he could, he wouldn't.

Immortality... is really too scary.

If possible, he hopes that he can live his life like a happy pig without any worries.

And even more so after getting terminally ill.

But there are some things in this world that seem to be one way and all ways.

After arriving at the realm of enlightenment, the world is still the same world, but when Li Zhen uses these techniques again, they are fundamentally different.

Time, with him, no longer becomes so mysterious.

Although his fish is still not that big.

But the armor on his body was already armed, which gave him the capital to swim in this river.

The endless space-time turbulence couldn't hurt him at all.

Under the golden light, there is certainty and destiny.

Under his will, the time of the entire Tianmu Mountain began to turn back.

For a moment...the green and yellow look was restored again.

But it's the most normal way.

Then, that mysterious feeling disappeared from Li Zhen.

He opened his eyes and smiled:

"My lord, shall we go and see that monk?"

"Go ahead."

Master Fox Fur shook his head slightly:

"I'll go find Luoshen."

"Uh……"

Sensing the silent Daoyun on the mountain, Li Zhen thought for a while and nodded:

"Okay. Then I go directly?"

"Ah."

……

Outside the thatched cottage, next to the pottery bowl.

Xuanzang opened his eyes blankly.

Then he frowned.

Just now...he sensed...an inexplicable thing descending.

I saw many things at once.

I even saw many truths and knots.

And recalling what he saw... He suddenly discovered that not all things in this world...will have an inevitable result.

No, that's not true either.

It should be said that this world itself is an incomplete truth.

Why he thought so, he didn't know.

But this kind of ignorance is also a kind of incompleteness.

But this stock is not perfect...

Invisibly, he seemed to fall into some kind of vicious circle again.

He even ignored the familiar aura that he sensed in that unsatisfactory reasoning.

until……

A voice broke him from the thought:
"Oh, monk, how did you become like this?"

"...?"

Xuanzang was taken aback.

Thought I was hallucinating.

But subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a Taoist looking at him with a sullen face.

There is still a look of joy between the eyebrows.

road……

"Master Dao!?"

Xuanzang exclaimed.

And Li Zhen nodded with a smile:
"Well, are you surprised or not?"

"... Daoist!???"

"Ah."

Nodding again, Li Zhen walked to his side.

But instead of asking him how his face changed, he glanced at the porridge and rice in the pottery bowl.

Then I became speechless.

"This rice... why don't you soak it in advance? How long does it take to cook it until it blooms?"

As he said that, he looked at the dark diced vegetables rolling in the porridge water, his eyes full of disgust.

"Life is really rough. If you deal with it like this, you are no one."

Then the others disappeared.

"...?"

Since he came, Xuanzang, who was in a trance, even once had the idea of ​​"this is an illusion".

But after a few breaths, Li Zhen reappeared.

He still held some pancakes in his hand.

After sticking the pancakes on the stove and using the embers to bake them, he reluctantly shook his head:
"Let's just eat like this for now. When we leave at noon, we'll have a good meal."

"...is it really the Daoist leader!?"

Now, Xuanzang finally came to his senses belatedly.

Looking at the Taoist in front of him, who could almost be said to have broken his defenses, his reaction was not as good as that of an ordinary person, let alone a cultivator.

Li Zhen rolled his eyes:
"nonsense."

Turning to look at him, shaking his head slightly:
"Do you know what you were doing just now?"

"..."

"You are enlightening."

"...??"

"But Wu's reasoning is wrong, it's a mess, and I'll just reject it for you."

"...????"

Seeing Xuanzang's surprised look, Li Zhen said:
"Don't blame me, that thing is obviously wrong... By the way, what were you thinking just now?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xuanzang was silent for a moment, then suddenly gave a wry smile:
"The poor monk doesn't know what he's thinking... even, from the day when he said goodbye to Mr. Shou Jing until now, he's been in a daze all the way, and doesn't even know what he's doing..."

"Come on this."

Li Zhen rolled his eyes:
"I don't know what I'm doing, but you came to see the most beautiful woman in the world?...You flower monk."

Xuanzang was choked by these words for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

In fact, his attitude towards the Taoist priest is very complicated now.

In the past, everyone regarded them as confidants.

But now... when he faced the Taoist priest again, the joy of reunion, the miss, and the joy in his heart...may not be worth one-tenth of the fear in his heart.

Yes, it is fear.

His heart is full of fear at this moment.

But not fear.

It's the fear of the Taoist priest being "sober".

In the past, he didn't think he was worse than the Taoist leader.

But now...he felt that the real despair of Daoist Priest was that he clearly understood the nature of this world, but he still chose such a path to move forward.

"From one person, to rescue".

But what about yourself?

Facing these things, I only felt a sense of insignificance.

with despair.

Therefore, his current state of mind is extremely complicated.

But can Li Zhen see it?

see it.

From the very beginning, he felt that the monk was not right about his mental state.

There is a kind of alienation that is less than respectful and distant, but far beyond the general.

So what you say is very sloppy.

Hope to be "back to normal".

But seeing that the monk didn't take up his words, Li Zhen knew that he couldn't talk like this today.

So he squatted down.

After adding a few sticks of firewood to the stove pit, he didn't look at Xuanzang, but asked directly:

"Don't want to see me?"

"..."

Xuanzang was dumbfounded for a moment.

Li Zhen smiled:
"Ha~ Then if you say, I came this time to take you away? What are you going to do?"

"……Take me away?"

"Ah."

Amid Xuanzang's doubts, Li Zhen nodded:

"Take you away... Luoshen didn't tell you, right? I fought with your three masters."

"..."

"I understand."

"..."

"Very strong."

"..."

"Your three masters should not be able to beat me, but I also keep my hand."

"..."

"And the reason for taking you away this time is also very simple. Although I don't know what you are doing here...but, monk."

Slowly from the stove pit, he withdrew his gaze and landed on Xuanzang:

"Here, it's not your way. I don't care if you come here to experience the joys, sorrows and sorrows of all beings, or to join forces with others or to do something...anything is fine. Remember what I said to you?"

Under Xuanzang's frowning expression, Li Zhen said word by word:

"You should be a white lotus flower in the troubled times. Out of the mud, but not stained. No matter what the world becomes, anyone can change it, but you can't change it. This world... has been completely destroyed. It's messed up. If you want to understand the meaning of sentient beings, or to see the joys and sorrows... expect to understand the doubts in your heart in this big fart place?"

Pointing to the Tianmu Mountain at his feet, Li Zhen sneered:
"Don't be ridiculous. If you want to see it, just go and see the world with your own eyes, see the people in the world, and see the country that is about to change hands. I always said that the Buddha you cultivated is too small, that's it. The Buddha cultivated is small, It limits your vision. What you want to practice is the Great Buddha. Do you understand? The Great Buddha!"

"...Where is the Great Buddha...?"

As a habit, Xuanzang asked the Taoist priest in front of him the doubts in his heart.

It didn't even feel out of place.

In retrospect, the way the two get along seems to have always been like this.

Come directly, go directly, never give up.

You say it, and I believe it.

You say, I will do.

always like this.

Even if this is a reunion after a long absence.

Even though he was still terrified just now.

But following the words of the Taoist priest, after once again talking about the confusion in his heart, he couldn't help but want to get that answer.

Then, he saw the Taoist priest's hand pointing to the ground again:

"Buddha, at your feet, in every step you take."

Li Zhen's eyes are also full of seriousness:
"Why do you need to be in a Zen hall to cultivate a Buddha? Where is the world where there is no spiritual mountain."

Facing the friend who had just reunited before the time for a cup of tea, he said.

"..."

Xuanzang frowned again.

Deep frown.

Has not let go.
