The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 22: The essence of human beings is hard work
Here is not the planet, but the world after ascending.
Ascetics have practiced in Chaotian Continent for many years for the great ascension. Naturally, there is a question to think about, that is, what is the meaning of ascension.
What Zhao Layue said to Cao Yuan also contained this meaning.
After saying this, she turned around and walked to the temple gate, sat on the high threshold, and looked towards the small city in front of the mountain, her figure a little depressed.
Many years ago, Jing Jiu was trapped deep in the snowfield to save Bai Zao. She went to the small temple in Baicheng and sat on the high threshold for a long time.
Now that Jing Jiu doesn't know where she is, she is also trapped, and she sits in a similar place again.
Zhong Lizi and Ran Handong looked at each other--the scenes in the novel are actually reappearing in front of them, so why not make people feel emotional?
, you know, this is not a movie or a game.
Cao Yuan took two bottles of water and handed them to them.
Zhong Lizi and Ran Handong were flattered, and gathered the courage to look at him carefully, and found that this person's image was different from the description in the book.
The golden skin on the surface of this Buddha peeled off severely. The biggest change was that the volume was much smaller, but it was slightly taller and slightly fatter.
"The purpose or reason for my ascension is very simple, and that is basic curiosity."
Cao Yuan walked behind Zhao Layue, followed her gaze to the believers in the small town, the firmness of the face became softer, and said: "I always thought this was the foundation of the avenue."
Zhao Layue did not look back, and said lightly: "You want to be quite open."
Cao Yuan said: "Before the real man took off, he told three stories. One of them was mine. The whole world knows about my family's affairs. Then you have to want to open it if you want to. Besides, March is dead in the end. "
His life experience is indeed bizarre, and it is difficult to describe in words when he has encountered it. The realm strength has long reached the moment of soaring, but because he can't think of it, he won't open his genius until he is broken by Jing Jiu.
Zhao Layue said: "I also want to drink water."
She sat in the small temple in Baicheng for a year, and she was very familiar with Cao Yuan, and she was not polite.
Ada meowed, jumped into Zhong Lizi's arms, raised his head and motioned for her to feed.
Cao Yuan gave a cry, took another bottle of water to her, and asked, "What is the situation in Chaotian Continent now? What about Chanzi?"
Zhao Layue said: "The little monk is different from you, and he is not so curious about the outside world."
It is interesting to say that when Jing Jiu called the little monk Chanzi, she was much younger than Chanzi, and now she is used to calling each other like that.
Cao Yuan said: "The time to come out is actually very short, but thinking that Guocheng Temple has passed for so many springs and autumns, I miss it somehow."
Missing this kind of thing has nothing to do with the realm, the level of cultivation, and the extinction. It is just a natural cause and effect connection.
He will miss Chaotian Continent, and so will other Ascenders. Otherwise, the Huanxi Monk would not build this city like Baicheng, but also built such a temple, and built another Guocheng temple in that city.
Zhao Layue didn’t want to tell him about the happy monk, and instead asked: "What was the result of your battle with Chenwushan Stoneman?"
Cao Yuan and Chen Ya once fought **** the planet in the Wangyou galaxy. The large cracks on the planet's surface are evidence, but no one knows the final outcome. Just like her first question, why is Cao Yuan here?
"I won, but I didn't know how to choose, so I chose to escape." Cao Yuan expressed his heart frankly, "He told me about this place and gave me the coffin."
Zhao Layue asked slightly, "Coffin?"
"Yes, I am a coffin guard now." Cao Yuan looked at the back of the small temple and said, "I don't know if this symbolizes anything."
Zhao Layue, Ran Handong, and Zhong Lizi looked along his line of sight. At this moment, a cold wind came from the window, blowing the curtain behind the Buddha seat, revealing a coffin.
The coffin is very huge, made of completely transparent glass. There are countless prosperous scenery and white cranes dancing in it. General Li lies quietly inside with his eyes closed.
Ran Handong and Zhong Lizi were shocked and speechless. Zhao Layue was also a little surprised. She walked to the transparent giant coffin, looked at the remains of the patriarch in the glazed world, and was silent for a long time.
She knows how General Li died, and what his immortal skeleton and the piece of silk in his body mean—many ascendants want to get these. What does it mean that Chen Ya gave it to Cao Yuan?
"Chen Ya doesn't understand you. You are not a hero in the traditional sense. The dead heroic spirits cannot move you. You are willing to guard the coffin because you want to understand something. The problem is..." She turned and looked at Cao Yuan. "Even if the old world is still alive, it is actually dead and will eventually decay. I don't think you can get any inspiration from it."
"I’m not guarding the remains of the old world. I just think that the silence of the dead is a sacred thing. I should not be disturbed anymore. I also need a quiet place that is not disturbed. I look at humans and think about humans. The future."
Cao Yuan stepped across the threshold and came to the flat ground in front of the temple. The broken robes trembled in the cold wind.
Thinking about the future of mankind-if such words are spoken from someone else’s mouth, they will only make people laugh, or the person who said such words will be considered a poet, but if they are spoken from his mouth, It's so convincing.
Zhao Layue said: "What did you see?"
Cao Yuan said: "You follow me."
Zhao Layue walked to the transparent glass coffin and bowed down as a younger disciple, and then followed him out of the small temple.
Cao Yuan took them to the highest point of the snow-capped mountains.
The dancing wind and snow slowly calmed down, and Zhao Layue's messy hair was still fluttering.
The top of the snow-capped mountain is very cold, and Ran Handong's realm is not low and can be tolerated, but Zhong Lizi can't stand it a bit, and begins to tremble.
Cao Yuan remembered that there was an ordinary person in the field, apologetic, ready to set up a formation to keep out the cold, Zhong Lizi waved his hand to indicate not Tighter.
The higher you stand, the farther you can see. Here you can see the big city outside the snowy field, you can see those straight roads and devout believers walking forward like black dots.
The final destination of those believers is not Baicheng or a small temple, but this snow-capped mountain.
took a rest in Baicheng, and the believers set off again.
They wore thick and shabby clothes, resisting the wind, snow and severe cold, and walked along the snow-capped mountains.
Zhao Layue knew that what Cao Yuan wanted to see for herself was definitely not this. The so-called piety and perseverance are very good qualities and beautiful intentions of human beings, but there are still many levels of gaps between them and the problems he is thinking about.
"It's over there." Cao Yuan said, pointing to an ice mountain in the west.
The ice peak was slightly shorter than the snow mountain under their feet, and the bright light under the setting sun made Zhao Layue think of the ice peak deep in the Chaotian Continent Snowfield.
Several ascetic monks climbed up between the ice peaks with difficulty. The monks’ clothes were thin and tattered. They looked like a few rags. Many wounds could be seen on their bare feet, but there was no bleeding because of the ice and snow.
"Are these people high in realm? They can actually travel to such a high place without equipment." Ran Handong said in surprise.
Zhong Lizi put down the binoculars in his hand and said incrediblely: "Aren't they cold?"
The cold wind screamed, and ice chips swept across the faces and bodies of the ascetics like knives, bringing out a lot of blood stains, and they were quickly frozen by the low temperature. Just by looking at the picture, one can imagine the harsh environment, the difficulty of moving forward, and the pain that the monks endured.
"These ascetics are ordinary people, they don’t know how to practice martial arts in this world, and they refuse to accept genetic modification..."
Before Cao Yuan's words fell, a few stones suddenly rolled down on that ice peak, bringing countless skiers.
The ascetics are in great danger.
Zhong Lizi picked up the telescope again and exclaimed.
Ran Biandong looked at Zhao Layue, wondering if she would help.
Zhao Layue quietly looked at the icy peak in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
"...but they learned some magical skills." Cao Yuan continued.
The situation on the ice peak became more and more dangerous. The ascetic monks were a little flustered. Just when they were about to fall down the cliff, they didn't know how they did it, and they flew with their hands!
The ascetic monks flew not high from the ground, barefoot only a few feet from the surface of the snow, shaky, pale, and soon fell back to the ground again, but successfully avoided the ending of being rushed under the peak.
Zhong Lizi and Ran Handong breathed a sigh of relief, and felt so puzzled. Since those ascetic monks can't practice, why can they fly?
"There is no heaven and earth vitality here, you cannot practice Zen exercises, and immortality is very weak." Zhao Layue retracted her gaze, looked at Cao Yuan and asked, "What do you want to explain?"
"I don't understand this power very well, it may be related to faith."
Cao Yuan’s line of sight from the big city in the distance, the believers on the road, the lay people in the white city, and the ascetics who fell on the ice peak, said: “I’m not saying that the future of mankind needs this kind of power, but I want to be right. You said that human beings are always looking for different ways to survive and improve themselves."
Zhong Lizi suddenly felt that it was not so cold anymore, touched Ah Da's Mao, looked at the ice peak in the sun, and said with emotion: "Humans...really amazing."
Zhao Layue was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, so humans should survive."
Cao Yuan retracted his gaze, looked into her eyes and said, "If human beings need Jing Jiu to die, how should they choose?"
Zhao Layue said: "You know my answer, why do you even ask me?"
Cao Yuan said seriously: "You come to me, naturally you want to convince me, don't be as lazy as a real person."
Zhao Layue said: "Do you know why Lian Sanyue bothered you at the beginning? It's because your monks in Guocheng Temple talk too much."
The monk at Guocheng Temple really talks a lot.
Whether it's Zenzi or Liu Shisui or the middle-aged monk who has already sat down.
Cao Yuan is a very remarkable image in the history of Chaotian Continent's practice world, but it still talks a lot.
probably because of this, the closed mantra of Guocheng Temple is the best.
But what Cao Yuan said was not wrong. Zhao Layue wanted to find him as a helper and had to persuade him, so those discussions that had been tired of hearing had to be staged again.
"He is also a member of human beings. Human beings have reasons to live, and he has reasons to live." She said: "If you are like Patriarch Aoyama and the old woman, you think he is not a part of humanity~IndoMTL.com~ So what reason is there for him to die for you? Do your own things yourself, this is a truth that young children should understand. Have you cultivated to the dog for hundreds or even thousands of years?"
Ah Da meowed in Zhong Lizi’s arms, expressing his great agreement, especially the last sentence.
Many people will say that Jing Jiu is a product created by mankind, or a product created by that god, and should be sacrificed for mankind. The problem is that parents have given birth to children and have done a lot for their children. Should the children die for their parents? In fact, everyone knows the truth and knows that it is meaningless. After all, it is the difference in position and way of doing things. It is impossible to talk about right and wrong.
Cao Yuan’s view is the same as Zhao Layue, and he does not think that Jing Jiu should be sacrificed, but he cannot completely stand on Jing Jiu's side like Zhao Layue, or even fight against the world for him. There are many people in this world, no matter whether they are good or bad, they are people who are trying to live like the ascetics on the ice peak, and they are qualified to live at all costs.
"Fortunately, he will die in a few dozen days. After that, the entire human race will no longer need to think about this issue."
When he said this, he and Zhao Layue were standing on the shore of a large lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
The water of the lake is very clear, and the white clouds in the sky are reflected in it, forming a certain number faintly.
That is the number of days.
