Fairy way

Everything has returned to calm, the days passed by in an ordinary and peaceful way, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another 30 years, many things have happened in the mortal world during these 30 years, one of them is the founding king of the Great Yin Dynasty Yin Long passed away 20 years ago, passed on to the crown prince, changed Yuan Guoxing, and the crown prince ascended the throne. He can be said to be diligent in governing and loving the people, even better than the previous emperor. It was the beginning of the prosperity of the Great Yin Dynasty, and in the following 10 years, the world was peaceful.

Dingcheng has also undergone considerable changes. The city has expanded a lot, but no one dares to move the bamboo forest outside the city. In the past 30 years, the bamboo forest has become a rather magical place. More than half of the important officials in the village are from that bamboo forest, and they are all students of the 100-year-old man in the bamboo forest. Every year, many high-ranking officials come to visit. The officials of Dingcheng can only be regarded as small officials in front of these high-ranking officials. Even if these high-ranking officials are so noble, they have to be informed before entering the bamboo forest. If there is no permission from the person inside the bamboo forest, they will kneel and kowtow a few times outside the bamboo forest, and then leave without the slightest anger. Go, even these big officials are like this, let alone the officials of Dingcheng. The officials of Dingcheng go to the bamboo forest to pay their respects once a year, in order to have a few words with the old man in the bamboo forest. Rather than say a few words, he will be very energetic throughout the year. If the old man refuses to talk to him, he will be cautious this year. After a long time, the people in Dingcheng know that on the land of Dongshenghao, except Besides the emperor, there was another big man who no one dared to offend, and this person was in the bamboo forest.

Inside the bamboo grove, in a three-storey attic, an old man with white hair and a beard as long as half an arm leaned on a cane, quietly looking at the distant sky. He had been standing here for three days. Three nights, without any intention of moving, stood two people behind him, a man and a woman. The man looked to be over 50 years old, and a lot of white hair had grown on his head, but his face was still handsome. The woman She looked only in her 30s, extremely beautiful, and she naturally exuded a mature beauty.

I just heard the old man muttering to himself: "It's been another 30 years, hehehehe, I'm almost dead now, alas! Occasionally I still think of some people, some things, it seems that the old man's return to the world is still not enough Thorough! Hahaha..." The old man couldn't help laughing while speaking, and the two behind him frowned unanimously, with a hint of worry on their faces.

The woman whispered to the man next to her: "Big Brother, what do you think is wrong with Grandpa? Big Brother, why don't you persuade Grandpa to be more careful." The woman's voice was extremely sweet, like a silver bell, but at this moment, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The man smiled after hearing the woman's words: "Rui'er, you don't need to worry, Master is not an ordinary person, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, the woman pursed her lips and said, "Of course people know that Grandpa is not an extraordinary man, but Grandpa has allowed the years to leave marks on his body. You disciples are also like this. You can resist the erosion of time, but I have to imitate my grandfather and let my body grow old. Grandpa looks a little weak now. In this case, I, as the younger generation, should follow his mind. Big brother, have you ever seen an old man with more than 100 standing in one place for three days? Sanye, didn't you even blink? Since you are an old man, doing so will naturally hurt your body, and I should take care of it." The woman became more and more confident as she spoke, and the man who listened couldn't help being stunned. The two men and one woman Naturally, Xianyu and Rui'er are still returning to the common place. Ru's Xianyu looks like a dying old man, his eyes are no longer so bright, they have become more and more cloudy, and all the teeth in his mouth are now gone. It fell off and couldn't find one. Now Xianyu is more than 110 years old. If it is calculated according to the age of the world, Xianyu has been counted as a rare long-lived person in the world, and a well-deserved old birthday star. In the past 30 years, Xianyu After experiencing life more deeply, his human way will become more and more sound. In Xianyu's view, his own human way will be perfected in one step. At that time, his understanding in his heart will be deeper, and his cultivation is likely to go further. This is the last step. It is something every mortal has to go through, and what is inescapable is death, and everyone will die. Even if a person who cultivates reaches a certain lifespan and fails to break through, he can only become immortal and fall into reincarnation, but mortals The death of a mortal is different from that of a practitioner. The death of a mortal is the real death, and there are many ways for a practitioner to avoid falling into reincarnation after death. Falling into samsara, whether you can be a human again after falling into samsara is not certain.

In recent days, Xianyu feels more and more that his family is getting closer to the last step, as if he only needs one chance, and he will really take a step forward. After taking that step, Xianyu can't decide the ending, the original ending has already been decided , even if he dies, he will not really fall into reincarnation, but Xianyu feels that if he is serious about death, he may fall into reincarnation like ordinary people, or even be reincarnated. Xianyu has done this more than once in the past few decades I thought about it, if my own family reincarnated, maybe everything would start again, maybe he would no longer be the prince of the Xiaoyao Dynasty, would no longer enter the Tao by begging, would not meet Dongfang Qingwu, and would not even step into the world of practice. If it is true, Xianyu also thinks about that kind of life, if he doesn't have too many concerns, he really doesn't want to be a practitioner, he really wants to reincarnate like an ordinary person, the practice is too lonely, the practitioner is too much Indifference, too tired to practice, but whenever he thinks this way in his heart, the figures of the three women of Dongfang Qingwu, and the figures of Xiaoyao and Lianjie will appear in his mind. These people are the unforgettable concerns in his heart, so and so Xianyu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​becoming a mortal, but he had to take this last step. Without such an extraordinary humanity, he would not be complete. Xianyu once said that if you want to cultivate the way of immortality, you must first complete the way of humanity. Humanity must go through the cycle of life and death in the world. If not, it would be useless to return to the mortal for hundreds of years. Xianyu knew this at the beginning of his return to the mortal. Now that he has returned to the mortal for nearly a hundred years, no matter how long the lifespan of a mortal is, It’s time to take this last step, but even a mortal can’t know what death is and what kind of feeling it feels like when he’s alive. The living don’t know death. Although Xianyu is a practitioner, he also doesn’t know what death is. Not knowing what death is, not knowing how to be dead, how to die.

What Xianyu and the three of them stood here quietly was thinking about this, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't think of a reason, and finally he sighed and said: "Oh! Others say that if you die, you will die. I don't care how much I want to die. I can’t die, I’m so helpless, so helpless!” After saying that, Xian Yu turned around, saw the two people behind him and licked his somewhat chapped lips, and then asked them: “What is death?” The two listened to Xian Yu Yu Zhiyan showed a frightened expression. Although the two of them didn't know what Xian Yu meant by asking this question, it was definitely not a good omen for them. A nice person suddenly asked what death is, which clearly meant that they felt Damn it, if it wasn't so inappropriate to ask this question, as the saying goes, one knows one's destiny at fifty, and this old man who is over a hundred years old in front of him is already over half a hundred years old, how could he not be able to see through life and death.

Even though Guifan knew that Xianyu was not an ordinary person, after hearing Xianyu's words, he felt the same fierce thought, his face turned pale, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said with a sad expression: "Master, how could you die? ?Your old man is a man of God, you won’t die.” As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xianyu, and his heart was full of fear at the moment. The old man in front of him was his pillar and his closest relative in the world. , when his father passed away, there was no sadness or joy in his heart, only sighs, but when he heard that his master was going to die, he couldn't help feeling sad from his heart, and the fear in his heart was beyond words. At this moment, he was like a child , expecting Xianyu to take back what he said just now, expecting Xianyu to dispel the thought in his heart, but Xianyu just smiled and said nothing.

Rui'er also knelt down on the ground and took Xian Yu's hand, choked up and said, "Grandpa, you will not die, you are not a mortal, how could you die, grandpa, you can't die, what will Rui'er do if you die, grandpa... ...Wuwuwu... Grandpa, don't scare Rui'er, okay, okay...Woooooo..." Seeing this, Xian Yu stroked Rui'er's head affectionately, but still didn't speak.

He was silent again, and after a while he said to Rui'er: "Girl, grandpa wants to drink tea, go and make a pot of tea." After hearing this, Rui'er thought Xian Yu had given up on that idea, and immediately burst into laughter In response, he went downstairs to make tea for Xianyu. At this moment, only Xianyu's teacher and apprentice were left. He turned his head to look at Gui Fan, and motioned for Gui Fan to stand up. Gui Fan didn't dare to disobey his master's order, so he stood up After getting up, Xian Yu asked Gui Fan: "I remember that my teacher told you 30 years ago that the end is the beginning. There is no real end in this world. Although you have been a teacher for many years, you should understand that there is no need to go too far." Sad." After saying that, he turned and went downstairs.

Seven days later, there was a loud cry in the bamboo grove. Wu Wangshi died, and he only left a sentence for his disciples: "Death is not death, death is death." Nothing, the pulse of the heart is still, when he really died, he finally realized the true meaning of death, what is death, the death of the body is just the death of the skin, the real death is not the death of the body, but the death of the heart, when Xianyu died, his heart Died, he was really dead, but he didn't die, it wasn't Xianyu who died, it was Wu Wangshi who died, but it was also Xianyu who died once in the body of Wu Wangshi, and his heart After death, the body is also dead. Xianyu's return to the world is over. The nearly hundred years of return to the world has completely completed the human way. If you want to cultivate the immortal way, you must first complete the human way. The fundamental change, what he doesn't know is that besides him, Xiaoyao Xianyu, there is no second person in this world who can fully humane, even the real Tianyang's humane is not complete,
