Zhentian coffin

That night, the little brother cooks and cooks a few good dishes for us. Usually the meals they eat are extremely simple, that is, the self-heating food, which has been prepared and packaged, and then when it is time to eat, turn on the self-heating food. .

If you want to eat something good, you have to cook it yourself, but a few single men don't want to cook except when the little brother does it, they just deal with it casually.

After eating, I had a private meeting with Li Yao and Zhou Fan, but Hong Tong and the little brother did not participate.

"Little brother, is there something wrong with you this time?"

"That's right, I encountered a lot of things outside this time"

"What is it that makes you so flustered?"

"Because I encountered the evil thoughts of Senior Brother Zhou Fan"

"My evil thoughts, sure enough, none of those guys are honest, and they even hid my evil thoughts."

When Zhou Fan heard this, he sneered and frowned. Those people cooperated with them and had told them a long time ago that they were hiding evil thoughts in order to fight against them. It seemed that everyone took his words on deaf ears.

"Little brother, did senior brother Zhou Fan's evil thoughts say something to you? Don't believe his words, they are all lies to you."

"No, Senior Brother Li Yao, I can tell if it's a lie or not. I'm here to know how those evil thoughts escaped."

"Little brother has something in his words, just say it straight, we won't be angry, what is my evil thought, what nonsense is it, is it related to senior brother?"

"Yes, brothers and sisters treat me like relatives. Originally, I shouldn't doubt you, but what the evil thoughts say makes sense. Your cultivation bases are as high as the sky, and you are the best in the world. Why do you have evil thoughts, even to the point of depression?" Can't stand, to the point of needing to split,

To tell you the truth, brother, I also have evil thoughts and impulses, but basically I can bear them all, and I can deal with them even if I can't do the meditation mantra, how did I get to this point?"

"I've answered this question for you. Your temptation comes from a moment. Sudden evil thoughts breed and suddenly disappear. But we are different. Our evil thoughts are persistent. Junior brother, you haven't arrived yet." This age, so you can't feel it, but if you are seventy or eighty, you will know it.

Feeling that your life is slowly being consumed is an extremely terrifying thing. No matter how high your cultivation base is, it is useless. Survival is your instinct. If you are a mediocre mortal, you know that you will die, but you This result cannot be changed, so you will acquiesce, give up, and break the world of life and death.

But this kind of seeing through is false, just like a soldier on the battlefield, who is not afraid of death, but is he really not afraid of death, no, it is just the result of military orders and bloody rush. Terrified to death, which is why there are psychological problems of post-war trauma.

As for us, there is a way to change the result. We have supernatural powers and are proficient in secret arts. We know that we will die, and we have a way to change. You say what a temptation it is. You can hold it today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow Well, you held back when you were healthy, but you got sick again.

It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult for us to resist this kind of temptation. Rather than one day we fall and change the bottom line of our original intention, it is better to let go of evil thoughts early.”

Zhou Fan's explanation is no different from what he said before. I remember that he said the same thing last time. Evil thoughts can be explained.

"What about senior brother, how do you explain it to senior senior brother? They said that the evil thoughts were released by senior senior brother on purpose."

"We can also explain this. There are two reasons in total. First, it is a very consuming thing for us to let go of evil thoughts. If we just eliminate the evil thoughts, then the evil thoughts will grow quickly and be inexhaustible. So We will keep our evil thoughts for a period of time and slowly recuperate to preserve our strength.

As for why it is Eldest Brother, it is actually a strategy of ours, and it is also the sacrifice of Elder Brother himself. The five of us are mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, and they have always been coveting, so we deliberately showed weakness and created the illusion of internal strife. This is done to fool them.

Junior brother, just imagine, if you coveted us, would you try to deal with us, and suddenly found that one of us has a problem, would you stare at this problematic person instead of Will you think of another way? "

"That's the way to say it, brother, it's my overthinking, I'm sorry"

"It's okay. You don't know us well enough. This is normal. You will find out in the future that we are actually very vulgar people. We have no ambition to rule the world or seek anything. We just want to live forever That's all"

"Yes, I discovered this, but senior brother, have you thought about what you will do after you live forever? Will it be boring and feel lonely in the world?"

"It's really not, just like your brother Li Yao, if he really lives forever, he will immediately go down the mountain and return to his old job to become a doctor."

"Tch, I won't be a doctor anymore. I'm going to travel the starry sky and look for aliens. I'm going to live forever, so I'm afraid of a fart."

"Haha, whatever you want"

"Brother Li Yao has great ambitions, I will support you when the time comes"

I said with a smile, but I was not feeling well, because they really didn't explain the reason for the elixir, whether they forgot or didn't.

"Brother, how many pills can you get next year?"

"This is not necessarily true. Generally speaking, it is five to eight. It depends on luck."

"If it's eight, there are only six of us, what about the remaining two?"

"Why, what did the younger brother think of?"

"It's nothing, if I have my share next year, I won't eat it, I will trade it"

"Why, you don't have to worry about those people, we can take care of everything for you, they can't make trouble"

"That's right, junior brother, you don't understand the preciousness of this elixir. We used to be able to get together a pot in about three years, but now it may not be five years. I really don't know when the next time will be. We have a lot of materials. The clues are all cut off, maybe it will be possible in 20 years.”

Li Yao also immediately said that pills are very precious, and the number of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures is getting smaller and smaller. They searched overseas many years ago, and now they are almost exhausted overseas.

"Brother, don't worry, I know it in my heart. I am not yet 30 years old this year. If I really wait another 20 years, I can afford to wait. This time I have to use pills to solve those people and completely solve this problem."

"This, everyone has their own aspirations, we can't force you, but you have to think about it carefully"

"Don't worry, brother, I've already thought it through."

"That's good"

"By the way, senior brother, this time I'm here to take Little Fairy and the others away. It's not appropriate for Liu An to stay here."

"Why is it inappropriate, did we neglect them?"

"No, it's about Liu An's education. In the future, I plan to let Liu An become a scientist and a scholar. He will not follow the path of the rivers and lakes, so he has to accept systematic teaching from a young age. From kindergarten onwards, there are no kindergartens here."

"This is true. In fact, the path we are taking is very special, not suitable for ordinary people, especially those who aspire to live ordinary lives. You can take it with you."

"Thank you brother for fulfilling"

"You're welcome, we're all brothers"

"Then I'm going to rest first"

"go"

I nodded, and before I left, I deliberately asked the little brother where the room is. I have to ask him about cooking skills. I have to help my son make breakfast tomorrow morning to strengthen the relationship between father and son.

Li Yao laughed out loud, and even laughed at me, saying that I am not some high-ranking man now, but a full-fledged daddy, and I don't care about that much.

Then I went to knock on the door of the little brother's room, and the little brother called me in.

"Little senior brother, you've been doing well recently."

"Very good, what's the matter, little brother?"

"Ask me about cooking. I don't know what the little brother thinks is the highest achievement in cooking."

"Are you trying to discuss philosophy with me?"

"Don't dare, it's just a random question, I have already received the little brother's wish"

"What the little brother is saying, I don't understand"

"It's nothing, just now I told my seniors that I will let out next year's elixir, don't take it"

“It's a waste not to eat”

"Haha, right, I don't know what the pill tastes like when you eat it"

"Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit and it disappears in one bite. Who cares about the taste?"

"Brother is a chef, so you don't care about the taste?"

"There is only one for several years, how to manage"

"That's it, then okay, wake me up tomorrow, I will give my son a hearty breakfast, and I won't bother senior brother now."

I waved my hand and walked out of the little brother's room.

·······

Zhongnan Mountain, a retreat place, the skinny old man slowly opened his eyes, and there was already another person in front of him.

"Big Brother"

"What's the matter, brother?"

"Liu Jinyang came today, and he didn't say a lot. He should know a lot of things outside the mountain."

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. We are not evil people, and we didn't harm him. We are just worried about causing misunderstandings."

"There is no misunderstanding. This is the correct path. As long as it goes well, it will be the broad road of human beings. You and I are both victims of this path. Liu Jinyang's words will depend on God's will."

"I want to ask my brother, why is Liu Jinyang, is it because he is the most beloved person of Tiandao?"

"Maybe, it's God's will"

"Senior brother, the way of heaven regards everything as a dog and will not favor anyone. Liu Jinyang may not be able to succeed."

"If you don't succeed, then find a successor. Isn't that what we have been doing for hundreds of years?"

"But"

"No, but, I don't have much time. Next, it's up to you and Li Yao. If you can't do it, you can entrust it to Liu Jinyang. road"

"I····"

"Junior brother is still afraid?"

"A little bit, I'm afraid I won't have the face to face Liu Jinyang, hey"

"This is the end of the matter, needless to say, it depends on God's will"

The skinny old man closed his eyes again, Zhou Fan sighed a few times and had no choice but to leave.
