I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Zhang Feng seemed to have expected this question a long time ago, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, and no."

Ji Qinglin frowned in doubt, and listened to Zhang Feng's explanation: "If you are asking about this body, then I am not immortal. My body is no different from ordinary people. It will not only age, but also die. But if you are asking about memory, Then I will indeed be considered immortal.”

Ji Qinglin thought for a while, and tentatively asked: "You mean, even if your body dies, the memory can still exist?"

Zhang Feng turned his head to look at Ji Qinglin, with a hint of ambiguity in his eyes, he said with a half-smile, "Master Ji, why bother to ask questions knowingly? Aren't you the same?"

Ji Qinglin never expected that he would throw out such a sentence, and said in astonishment: "You know that I remember my previous life?"

Zhang Feng picked up the gourd and took another sip, and said slowly: "You can understand human language at birth, you can talk to people in a few months, and you can write poems at the age of two or three. If you don't remember your previous life, are you really a child prodigy?"

Ji Qinglin was greatly surprised, and asked in surprise: "So your 'immortality' is actually remembering the previous life in every life, isn't it?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ji Qinglin was determined in his heart: Yes, it must be like this.

This can also explain why Zhang Feng retreats for about ten years every Jiazi, and when he comes back, he will look like a teenager—his body is dead, but his memory is born with a new fetus, and then he will return to his body when he grows up. In the palace, isn't it "rejuvenating" in the eyes of others?

Looking at Ji Qinglin's thoughtful expression, Zhang Feng knew that there was no need to answer this question.

Ji Qinglin pondered for a while, and then asked: "Then you must know why this happened?"

Ji Qinglin didn't go deep into why he remembered his past life in the past, he just thought it was a coincidence, but now he finds out that this master remembers his past life for all generations, so maybe it's not just a simple coincidence, but probably a caused by some particular reason.

Hearing this question, Zhang Feng laughed jokingly and said, "Why? Because your previous life was too boring."

Ji Qinglin was startled.

Past lives... boring?

It's really boring, Ji Qinglin has to admit.

Except for a lake and snow-capped mountains, there is only a room full of books to accompany him. His past life was really boring to the extreme.

But this is why he can still remember his previous life?Just because... the previous life was boring?

Watching the change in Ji Qinglin's expression, Zhang Feng bent his mouth, put one hand on his knee, rubbed his three fingers slightly, and said with an inscrutable expression: "The reincarnation in this world has its own rules. After death, the soul Yuan will leave the body and enter the body of a fetus. When entering, the memory carried by the soul is complete, and then in the process of the mother's pregnancy in October, the memory of the soul will be washed slowly by the amniotic fluid. When you completely forget your previous life, you will be born."

Zhang Feng didn't wait for Ji Qinglin to think about it, looked at him and asked with interest: "Have you ever heard a saying - all premature babies are smarter?"

Ji Qinglin seemed to have heard such a saying somewhere, but he didn't have a deep impression. Hearing Zhang Feng's mention at this time, and thinking about what he said, he suddenly understood something: "You mean, premature babies are killed because of their memory. The time for amniotic fluid washing is not enough, there is still some leftovers, so you are smarter than others?"

Seeing that he understood so quickly, Zhang Feng nodded with a satisfied smile.

Ji Qinglin thought for a while, and then said with a puzzled face: "But I'm not a premature baby."

Zhang Feng smiled slyly, and said indifferently: "Hey, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. Since it is a rule, there are always more or less loopholes, but these loopholes are rarely discovered by anyone."

Ji Qinglin nodded while listening, Zhang Feng suddenly asked him: "Have you ever heard of Sanskrit?"

Ji Qinglin was stunned, remembering that when he was listening to a book in a teahouse, he heard a love story between a snake demon and a mortal. In that story, the old man who beat the mandarin duck with a stick seemed to be someone from the Sanskrit religion.

Thinking that many of his cognitions in this world come from storytellers and theater troupes, Ji Qinglin suddenly felt a little ashamed of his ignorance, and said awkwardly: "Listen... the storytellers have said it."

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He smiled and said, "Well, since you've heard about it, you should also know that Buddhism emphasizes no love, no hatred, no desire and no desire."

Ji Qinglin nodded blankly.

Zhang Feng suddenly moved closer, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said meaningfully: "Then why do you think they insist on no love, no hate, no desires and no desires?"

Ji Qinglin was at a loss for a while.

Why no love and no hate?

Could this be related to the rules of reincarnation?Could it be... this is the loophole?

Ji Qinglin suddenly looked at Zhang Feng, his eyes widened.

Zhang Feng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that you should have guessed it."

He looked forward and said slowly: "The loophole of this rule is that as long as you get rid of all distracting thoughts, have no love, no hate, no desire, no desire, the amniotic fluid will not be able to wash away your memory. This means that every time you reincarnate , can continue to live with the memory of the previous life. Therefore, many sects in the world pursue no distracting thoughts, pursue abstinence from sexual desires, and in the final analysis, they are still pursuing this kind of 'longevity'."

Ji Qinglin was stunned and silent for a long time, trying to gather his mind, turned to the palm and frowned slightly: "But what's the point of such a long life? There is no love or hatred, and no emotion. Even if you can live for thousands of years, how is it different from grass and trees? "

Listening to Ji Qinglin's question, Zhang Feng raised his eyebrows mockingly: "Isn't it? This kind of 'longevity' is actually a great irony when you think about it. The reason why people want to live forever is because they want to live forever." Caring, but as long as you have caring in your heart, your memory will be washed away, and if you want to keep your memory, you need to be free from worries."

He paused, spread his hands and said with a smile: "This is interesting. Now that you have no worries, what is the need for longevity? People go around a lot, and only finally find out that this kind of longevity is meaningless. But Even so, the world still flocks to it, wishing to exchange everything they have for this meaningless longevity.”

Ji Qinglin listened silently, with mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't help but look up at the bright moon in the sky.

It is said that there are gods above the head, and this matter of longevity is like a trap full of contradictions set by the gods for the world-do you choose to live your life as you want, or live a long life with a pure heart and few desires?

It's hard to say which one is the real temptation.

Ji Qinglin only felt that if he had to choose, he would probably never choose the latter.

Seeing that Ji Qinglin was in a daze for a long time, Zhang Feng reminded him: "Okay, I have finished answering the first question, let's go on, what is the second question?"

Only then did Ji Qinglin come to his senses, and quickly said: "Oh, the second question is, does the Shuijing God really exist, or did you make it up?"

After Zhang Feng heard it, he slowly turned his head to look at him, his eyes suddenly became cold, and his tone became a bit serious: "Do you know that saying such things in Tongtian Temple is for the sake of great, no, respect?"
