The honest person is you

-41-

The essence of everything in the world is nothingness. Love and hatred, gains and losses, unwillingness and obsession all come from the heart. Because your heart is too narrow, you are trapped together with yourself.But at this moment, your heart is like the sea and the sky, and everything in the world gathers in your heart.

You finally saw through this love affair, and finally realized the "Tao" you longed for.

Memories of the long past come to mind, Xianyang, Penglai, Ping'anjing...and now.

More than 2000 years ago, your fleet left Xianyang. The master stroked your head and gave you a new name. Mrs. Bian combed your hair, and she held your hand like a mother.

More than 1000 years ago, Mei and Lian were born in Penglai, followed by those angels who looked like children, in the center shrouded in mist, they pulled your clothes, chased after you and called you "sister". He stared at you with hesitant eyes, but he didn't have the courage to say those words in his heart to you.

1000 years ago, on a night when the full moon hung high, you saw countless corpses growing with exotic flowers and plants in the palace, and you knew the fact that Mrs. Bian was making alchemy and the master had turned into a tree and died.When you came to Heianjing that night, you met the love of your life wet all over.

"Yusuo..." You softly called his name, holding his hand tightly.

He touches your heart, makes you feel joy and sadness for him, makes you fall in love deeply and cannot extricate yourself, you are so nostalgic for him and can't let go.

You think of the old days when you sat on the porch together, watching the countless stars in the dim night sky.You told him about your past, and you once explained everything you desire with him from the bottom of your heart.

You confess your sincerity in front of him, and while he looks at you with tender eyes, he doubts your love for him.

Lisuo believes that you love him, but he just doesn't believe that you will always love him.Because he feels that he may not love you again one day, so he saves others by himself and thinks that you will.

For Lisuo, love is control, but for you, love is possession. You don’t know how to love another person correctly, tenderly and honestly, so you are doomed not to have an ordinary relationship like ordinary people. happiness.

You are now finally seeing through the truth of it all.

Happiness is so short, love is so twisted.Both you and Yan Suo are deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves.

You shed tears unknowingly, and your tears dripped on the face of Ren Suo. You reached out to touch his face, but found that your arm seemed to start to "tree".Unexpectedly, at this moment you are extremely calm, without any panic in your heart—even though you know that the end of tree transformation is death.

A cultivator will return to the form of a tree when he is dying. You think of the old master. When you saw him for the last time, he was already a dead tree.

Tian Yuan's body has long lost the appearance of a human being. His hands and feet have become branches, his skin has become bark... even his body has become a tree trunk.

Everyone dies someday, and this will be yours too.

The destination that was once unacceptable to you seems to be insignificant now.Birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hatred, anger, and ignorance... You hugged Suo tightly, and talked about your childhood. At that time, you were just an ordinary little girl, because some alchemists said that you were destined to die young, and you were frightened by such flimsy assertions. You can't stop crying, that's when you are weakest and most ordinary.

But even after cultivating Taoism, you are still frightened by the tree transformation of the master. You are so afraid of death that you even choose to escape from the "Tao" you have always adhered to.

It is only today that you finally realize your own narrowness, and it is only today that you finally understand the true meaning of the master's saying that "life and death are both forms of Tao".

The memories you didn't want to recall all the time are finally unfolding in front of you again - you have already been aware of the aging of the master, and you have already anticipated the death of the master.

You just... don't want to accept it.

You have paid so much, and you have been chasing the end of the immortal way for so many years. Everyone says you can become a fairy, but you don't want to accept that you may collapse like a master. This is too much for you cruel.

And what frightens you even more is that you haven't gotten rid of the ordinary and weak self in the past 1000 years-you are still afraid of death.

In Penglai, which is isolated from the world, you stand by the river full of lotus flowers, and the white mist lingers on the river surface, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.The guru stands by your side, and he asks you again: "What do you want?"

You stared sideways at his face that was much older than you remembered, and a great fear—the fear of death arose spontaneously, and you asked him, "What are you asking for?"

In the past, the master wrote a letter to the first emperor, saying that there were three mountains of gods in the sea, so that thousands of virgins and boys would go to the sea to seek immortality.The original intention of your going out to sea was obviously to find a way of immortality for the emperor...but you stayed in the dry marsh and never left again.

The master suddenly called your name, and he asked you if you knew why he gave you such a name.

"Because you said that I am the most likely to become a fairy..."

They are all making you believe that it is possible to achieve immortality and holiness.

"What exactly does it take to become an immortal?" The master asked you, "What exactly does it take to become an immortal?"

The Tao between heaven and earth is endless, and there are thousands of people who seek it, but none of them become immortals.The master stared at you deeply, he touched your head lightly, and only sighed.

The master said softly: "Life and death are actually one of the forms of Tao..."

He was about to die, but he showed no fear or unwillingness at all. There was only boundless peace and emptiness on the body of the master. His body had not yet "turned into a tree", but his heart was already like a tree.

The world is vast, and everything is one.A lonely peace envelops your heart. Today, you finally realize the true meaning of "Tao".

……

……

Tianyuan's enchantment is being assimilated by a powerful force, and he senses a familiar aura. The former dry lake and the "Tao" that overflowed from the center of Penglai are very similar to this force.

In Kuize, when the bodies of the people in the village begin to turn into trees, they will leave the village and go to Penglai. Even though everyone knows that they cannot enter Penglai, they will still perform this kind of pilgrimage.

Faced with the current scene that was like a god, Tian Yuan, whose body was almost completely tree-like, began to worship very piously.

A huge tree, a burning flame tree, grows from the mansion of the Kamo family, almost as tall as the sky, it assimilates the barrier of Tianyuan, and a large number of "Tao" linger around this huge tree—it It is absorbing the "Tao" between heaven and earth.

The surrounding air became turbulent, and people's hearts were shaken accordingly. Everyone stared at the luxuriant canopy with breathless concentration. The shock in their hearts was beyond words. There was only one way to explain the current situation—a miracle.

The huge towering canopy burned the entire sky red, the red flames were extremely dazzling, and countless burning green silk threads hung down from it, and the extremely dense silk threads were woven into a huge net, enclosing the whole world in it.Staring at such a miracle, Tian Yuan felt that a part of himself was being pulled away... He was not the only one who felt this way, and so did others.

The huge burning net is a huge enchantment. The enchantment destroys the structure of the mana. It decomposes the mana of all people and assimilates it into the "Qi" at the beginning of the world.The green filaments are like the roots of trees, and these roots are absorbing the Dao between heaven and earth, supplying them to the tree continuously.

That tree is plundering all the Taos between the heaven and the earth, and everyone's spell power has turned into its nutrients. At this moment, everything between the heavens and the earth is supplying it!

What exactly is it?

Tian Yuan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and worshiped that huge tree devoutly: "That's Lord Tianxian..."

……

……

"How can one become an immortal?" You recall the words that your master said in the past, "How can one become an immortal?"

Tao is nothingness, but it is incomparably far away, and it is the root of all things.Your body is gradually turning into a tree. At this time, you can still perceive the changes in yourself. At this moment, today, life, old age, sickness, death, love and lust, everything has become so small to you, and your body has become a tree. , your heart also becomes a tree.

Everything from the past comes to mind, and the world is so vast.

You have become a big tree reaching to the sky, your enchantment covers the whole world, everyone's spell power is decomposed into its original form, and returns to the Tao between heaven and earth.Your roots absorb those Taos like nutrients, and they pour into your body continuously and become your strength.

You think of the big fire in Penglai in the past, you watched the burning ship from a distance, the flame ignited the arborized master... the flame also climbed up your already arborized body.

"In the past, I used to perform hexagrams for our future..."

Your future is presented in a cloud of ashes.

Long Suo, who has been silent for a long time, seems to have finally found his voice at this moment, and he asks you if you regret it.

At this moment, he is actually asking if you regret it?

"No," you told him in a calm voice, "I don't regret it at all."

Your heart is extremely peaceful, the Tao between heaven and earth is converging on your body, and the blazing flame ignites your body...

You have done many wrong things in the past years, and people always have to pay for their mistakes.Many innocent people died because of you, you tormented others physically and mentally, and caused countless people to fall into the abyss of pain.

This is the "Tao".

Tao is cause and effect, and Tao is nothingness.Seeking the Tao itself is empty talk, the essence of immortality is all things in the world, and all tangible and intangible things are "Tao". More than 2000 years have passed, and you have finally opened your heart, accepted all things in the world, and assimilated with them.

You hear the blooming of flowers, the singing of birds, the unwinding of clouds, and the gradual brightness of the sun... All things in the world are one.

You also heard a voice asking you, "Do you hate me?"

"Do not."

"……That's good."

He didn't ask you again if you still love him.
