Chapter 160
Chapter 160
The figure surrounded by broken bones, sick animals, and old people raised his eyes in the vastness, and Xu Huan seemed to fall into a pool of ink under the gaze of these eyes.
He looked into these eyes, as if he saw the vast time, as if he saw the long past, as if he saw his own reincarnation from life to life since the untraceable ancient times.
But he couldn't see anything.It seemed that his past had fallen into a bottomless well.
The broken Dao Heart became a hole, and the fallen person had no choice but to continue to fall.
But something flashed in the wreckage of Dao Xin, he subconsciously grasped this flash, and said, "Li Quan?"
He saw the corner of the god's mouth curled up in the endless raindrops and ink.
He got the answer in this laugh.
"Don't you like Xiaohuancun?" Like a distant sigh.
Xu Huan should have hated it.He really hates this - like a handful of water, it can be poured into a gold cup and jade urn, or it can be poured into a sewer.When happiness and suffering are determined by others, what is the difference between happiness and suffering?
He is not a person, not a creature, not even a soul with thoughts and autonomy, he is an object manipulated by others, a handful of stagnant water that can be put on a high platform or poured into a ditch at will.
But he couldn't produce much resentment in this sigh-like inquiry, he just raised his eyes indifferently: "What do you want to do?"
Daxuan flicked his wrist lightly, and a bit of ink swayed from the tip of the pen, spreading silently into a broad ripple.
In this ripple, the vast cause and effect appear.When it wrapped Xu Huan in it, he saw the cause and effect in the world.
The causes and effects in the world are as vast as fog, they envelop every living being, involve them, guide them, and outline the future fate of every living being.
He also saw his cause and effect.There is very little karma in him.If Chaos wanted to control his fate, how could he let his original karma affect his own control?The shadow that shrouded him at that time before had already devoured his life.
It wasn't until Li Quan started to intervene and Xu Huan really set his own way, that he earned the first karma that truly belonged to him from the shadows.
His way is destroyed, but the cause and effect are still there.
When he was pushed out of the Liang Palace by Li Quan's palm, he finally fell into Xiaohuan Village along the karma that belonged to him.
What Duan Xiayun and Duan Xiaomiao returned to him was the peace and happiness that he had never had since he was six years old.
Xu Huan suddenly felt tired, and a great anger came out of the tiredness.
His past is vain, his actions, his thoughts, his struggles, his pain, his way!Everything is false.When the puppet show is over and the thread is broken, the abandoned puppet finally understands that everything does not belong to him. After giving up everything that does not belong to him, what is left for him?
The man who falls in the void can only fall, because his struggle cannot grasp any support.
But what is life in Xiaohuan Village?What is the karma between him and Duan Xiayun and Duan Xiaomiao?
Afraid that he, who has lost his line, will have no support, so let him hang down a life-saving rope?
Who wants him to sympathize with false illusions of grace? !
Daxuan was still laughing.
"The most foolish person in the world," he raised his hand, and put a stroke of ink into Xu Huan's eyes, "is the one who sees the suffering beings and stretches out his hand to save them."
"How arrogant..."
His voice faded in Xu Huan's ear.
A stroke of ink turned into an old event, which appeared like flowing water in front of Xu Huan's eyes.
He saw that Tu Shanyao was tricked by Tu Shanyao and narrowly escaped death, but he lost all his tricks in his cultivation.
He saw Tu Shanyao, who was seriously injured and weak, met the former Liang Wang Xu Qingyan.
He saw that Xu Qingyan fell in love with Tu Shanyao at first sight, and protected her with his royal air.
He saw that Tu Shanyao tried his best to seduce Xu Qingyan but failed, and also saw that Xu Qingyan refused to interrogate Tu Shanyao no matter what.
As long as Xu Qingyan ordered the monks enshrined in Liang Guo to send a message to Tu Shan or other Tu Shan's children who were traveling abroad on Tu Shanyao's behalf, her predicament would be resolved by itself.But Xu Qingyan is also very clear that after the predicament is resolved, Tu Shanyao will never stay for him.She doesn't love him.
The life-prolonging elixir that Tu Shanyao promised to his monks, and even her appearance that was exactly the same as Tu Shanyao, were not as good as Tu Shanyao in Xu Qingyan's heart.Xu Qingyan's wealth, power, poise and demeanor can make Tu Shanyao stop more than a sweet-scented osmanthus flower.
So he would never send a message for Tu Shanyao.
But he didn't intend to keep Tu Shanyao trapped by his side.
The color of ink is like rippling water, and Xu Huan stands in the dark past.
He saw that Tu Shanyao was pregnant with a child, and Xu Qingyan was ecstatic but did not dare to mention the child in front of Tu Shanyao.
Because he was not sure whether Tu Shanyao was willing to conceive this child out of love, or to solve his tricks.
The trick that Tu Shanyao set up on Tu Shanyao will extract her blood of Tu Shan, but when she is pregnant with a child, this child also inherits Tu Shan's blood, and the trick cannot extract the blood power of this child at the same time, With this, Tu Shanyao broke through Tu Shanyao's tricks.This child has half of Tu Shan's blood, and Tu Shanyao will not let him go.
He watched Xu Qingyan carefully embrace Tu Shanyao, and threatened and begged her: "I will keep you with despicable means. Human life is short, and our son will become the king of the Liang Kingdom. With the asylum of King Liang, he will deliver news for you. After my death, you will be free."
He looked at Tu Shanyao who was caressing his swollen belly in black.
Maybe she had other purposes when she chose to conceive a child, maybe she didn't love Xu Qingyan, but her eyes at this moment were indeed gentle and loving.
He saw Xu Qingyan plotting for him to abolish the crown prince...
Life is also suffering.
The lancet trembled between Xu Huan's fingers, the miserable light and his frosty hair turned into a blinding white amidst the ink.
The ink dissipated, but the god who was writing was still sitting there, and his voice gradually became clearer in the fading ink.
"...you could have saved yourself."
Xu Huan saw the ink-colored ripples swaying away from his body, and then brought back the karma on his body. He stood in the vast white mist of karma, but there was a blank space around him.
Xu Huan felt a kind of power from this blank space.
There is no cause and effect, and no numerology; there is no body formed by all these, and there is no consciousness caused by all these. He can bring all these together and return to the most basic true spirit.From this most basic true spirit, everything in the future will be born, all future causes and effects, future numerology, future body, and future mind.
And in all this returning to the most authentic soul, there still remains a power-the power that can bring him back here-life suffering.
Xu Huan looked up, Daxuan had half closed his eyes, with his wrists on his knees.Residual bones, sick animals and old people bowed their heads beside him, and built a small altar with stones in front of him.
The heavy rain was like splashing, but there were no black ripples anymore, Xu Huan was able to leave here.
But he didn't leave.
"why?"
……
On Sun Star, a pitch-black sleeve tail floated in mid-air, which was cut off by Tai Yin when he grabbed Daxuan.
On this remnant sleeve, there is a special rhythm hidden, which points to the lack of Tao.
Looking at this remnant sleeve, Lord Yan felt his heart sinking little by little, like a flame being covered by ashes.
On the sun star, under the golden flame stream, there are still gold and stones that have been calcined by the real fire of the sun for a long time. Changyang used the gold and stones as a wooden warehouse and let him toss and toss, as if he was still in front of him. 12 years ago, he thought that Changyang would also fall, and 12 years later, after he tested it in that wooden warehouse, the tung flowers in Mindi bloomed overnight.
The rhythm on the residual sleeve is obscure.That is the missing guidance of the Tao that Lord Yan has searched for for 12 years, but has not been able to comprehend.During these 12 years, he thought long and hard about where the "heaven and earth are lacking" that he had been talking about before Changyang died.He repeatedly recalled every word Changyang had said to him and everything he had done for it.
Before the catastrophe began that year, no one except Changyang believed that there was a lack of heaven and earth. After the catastrophe began, Lord Yan was the only god who still had the energy to find what was lacking in the Tao.Why is Changyang so convinced that the world is lacking?
He once asked Changyang this question.
But Changyang just showed a rare look of bewilderment, shook his head and remained silent.
Lord Yan did not find the reason why Changyang believed in the lack of heaven and earth in this repeated thinking, and perhaps it would be of limited benefit if he found it. .
Just as it is difficult for living beings to understand things that have never been seen, the blind do not know colors, and the deaf do not understand music. If you have never seen the fullness and waning of December, you will think that the moon should always be perfect like the sun.
They are all people who have never seen the waxing and waning of the moon.
However, the operation of the catastrophe and the emergence of chaos are like prying open a gap in the heavy curtain.They were born due to the lack of Tao, and their power and movement naturally bear the traces of the lack of heaven and earth.
Lord Yan used this as a clue to think about the gap between heaven and earth. He has indeed made progress, but he has not been able to make further progress. It seems that there is a force blinding him and hindering him, so that he can only circle around forever. .
But now, Daxuan has left a rhyme of the lack of Tao on the tail of this sleeve.
He had found what was missing.Of course he found it.
He was no longer the Changyang they knew.
The aura of calamity between heaven and earth is weakening, this is because Daxuan is accumulating strength.There are only two in the world who can control the power of calamity.Chaos is born because of the lack of Tao, and it is the one who opened the catastrophe, while Daxuan was born because of the catastrophe.
The change of calamity is the proof of Daxuan's existence.
He left guidelines on the remnant sleeve to ask the gods to deal with Chaos.This is an upright conspiracy.
The gods could not refuse.
Even if they know, it is impossible to give up this opportunity.
Lord Yan sensed the Dao rhyme left on it.
The black remnant sleeve floated there quietly, coldly and undisguisedly showing his plans for them.
Changyang, Changyang.
……
Daxuan lightly tapped his fingers, and there was a crisp sound on the altar in front of him, and a hidden crack appeared on a stone.The altar was still solid, but the rain quietly seeped in through the cracks, washing away the mud between the stones.
He tapped his fingers again, and the cracked stones fell to the ground.Although one stone is missing, the other stones still hold the altar firmly.
One stone after another was broken and scattered, and every time a stone fell, the old man picked up a wooden branch and broke it to fill it up.
Heaven and earth are like altars, even if the Tao is lacking, it can continue to operate.
The stone altar will not fall, only the rain knows where the cracks are.
Chaos broke through the gap and filled it with his own way.He wants this world to be his world.
"Why?" Daxuan smiled softly, "Because you are praying to me."
……
On the sun star, Baidi photographed the remnant sleeve.The gods of the world do not walk alone.
"I can tell," he said.
The lack of Tao shakes the foundation of heaven and earth.Baidi is the fiercest and most stable way between heaven and earth, and the permanence in impermanence.Although it cannot make up for the lack of heaven and earth, it can stabilize the shaken Tao.It is like nailing the stone bricks next to the gap, so that they will not be loose and shake because of the gap.No matter how difficult it is for the lack of Dao to erode the world, his Dao cannot grow.
But Chaos doesn't just rest on that.
"He tossed a lot in the dream realm, he seemed to be looking for something, do you know?" Shui Xiang said.She has mastered the way of falsehood and reality, and once she woke up, she noticed the abnormality in the dream realm.
Chaos had conspired against the gods, so he naturally knew the way they mastered.Now that he knows that Shui Xiang has awakened, but he still hasn't given up his work in the dream realm, it can only be that what he wants to find in the dream realm is more important in his heart.
When the gods touched each other, seeing that the other gods had no clues, Shui Xiang said, "I'll handle it."
"The world was damaged by the catastrophe, I can repair it." Hua Mang, who had just recovered, said.
The gods take the Tao as their bodies, and their recovery can stabilize the heaven and the earth.The rain when Huamang recovered had already silently moistened the heaven and earth.It is more suitable for the calamity to perish and destroy the world, and the way he masters is endless and full of vitality.only……
"How did the damage to the world reach this level?" Hua Mang asked.According to his feeling, the damage suffered by the world should not be so serious.But he has been sleeping for 12 years. I don't know if there are other reasons, so I have to ask Taiyin and Yanjun.
Lord Yan was silent, and after a while, Taiyin sighed: "I don't know either."
Their eyes couldn't help falling on the remnant sleeve.
Maybe it has something to do with Daxuan, maybe it has nothing to do with him, but none of them can be sure.
The cycle of reincarnation in that glance was churning in the Taiyin divine sense, tearing out the bitterness and evil of all living beings.She closed her eyes and said, "I'll go back and look for him."
But the world and the underworld are still handed over to Lord Yan.
Before leaving the sun star, the god who had not spoken all this time let out a long sigh: "We have lost a friend and gained an enemy, haven't we?"
……
The stone altar has become a wooden altar.
There seems to be a boundless and ancient bell music, and ancient sacrificial songs are sung in the music.
... There is a hell in the world, and the cause and effect are judged.Nine springs and nine prisons, condemned and washed.Complaints and complaints, good and evil results...
The years are long, the sea can become a mulberry field, the cycle of reincarnation is impermanent, and the birds become beasts.
The altars that were once erected on the earth to seek karma and justice collapsed one after another. The devout prayers of the prayers were forgotten and changed in the cycle of reincarnation. May there be a Xuanming underworld to purify karma. Nor did it sound.
Only the gods who have bonded with all living beings are still sitting here, and they seem to have changed their appearance.
But there are still things that haven't changed.The god still clings to his pen.
That is his finger bone, which was given up for all sentient beings.
Daxuan sat there with a constant smile.
Whether you believe in me or not, whether you love me or fear me, love me or hate me, I am with you.
"Isn't that what you asked for?"
Xu Huanming understood his answer.
Before Chaos began to fiddle with his fate, everything that belonged to him had been swallowed up by the darkness, and after Chaos fiddled with his fate, everything about him left traces of being manipulated.
To cut everything, there is no need to manipulate his strings, and there is no need for a life-saving rope, even if there is nothing to rely on.He chose a direction for himself, and he fell downward, to the bottom of the abyss.
Then, cut off the existence that hid in the abyss and manipulated his fate.
Isn't that what he wanted?
Daxuan stood up, and the broken bone, sick wolf, and old man followed behind him.
Xu Huan stood alone in the wilderness, his life belonged to him.
In this evil world, birth, old age, sickness and death are all suffering.To generate hatred from suffering, to eliminate suffering with evil, is nothing but a sin.
They don't need to be saved.
"The lack of Tao in this world lies in chaos, so where is the lack of the way of chaos?"
The god turned away, the wooden altar burning behind him.
I forgive your betrayal, forgive your greed, and understand your selfishness.
Because all of this will eventually return to nothingness, like the white ground after a fire, so clean.
