Nightfall Chapter 66: This is a problem
Haotian wants to eat, what to eat is a problem, but I want to come, no matter what it eats, there is no need to pay, and people always have to pay for food.
The master told Ning Que to check out, and then took him and Sangsang down to the restaurant. After walking around in the capital of Song State, he saw a semicolon of Chen Jinji and walked in to buy some powder for Sangsang.
Ning Que felt that the teacher was too kind to Sangsang. Pity was not like a teacher he knew, but at this time his mind was all occupied by those questions, so he had no time to think deeply.
The black carriage left the capital of Song State, and after a while, it returned to the grassy wasteland.
Ning Que looked at the flock of weeds and sheep on the wasteland, thought for a while and said, "Teacher, can you make it simpler?"
The master stepped out of the carriage, looked at the expansive meadow and said: "In the grass-grown wilderness, it receives sunlight and rain and absorbs the essence of the soil, so it can grow. This is what it eats."
The master pointed to the sheep not far away and said, "The sheep eat grass."
He pointed more than ten miles away and said, "Look, those wolves are eating sheep."
"So what does Haotian eat?"
Ning Que suddenly remembered Master Liansheng’s angry scolding at the Demon Mountain Gate, remembered Master Qishan’s emotions in the autumn rain at the Buddha Hall, remembered many of the doubts of senior Gaoxian, and said with a trembling voice: "Cannibalism ?"
“Sheep can’t directly eat dirt and sunlight, so they eat grass, and wolves can’t eat grass directly. Therefore, people are relatively more powerful when eating sheep. We basically eat everything, but generally speaking, the diet is gradually Progress is the improvement of energy utilization efficiency, and eventually the life of the upper layer can only eat the life of the next layer."
The master shook his head and said: "According to my guess, Haotian's life supplement comes from the vitality of heaven and earth, and it cannot directly eat the vitality of heaven and earth, just like sheep cannot directly eat dirt and sunlight, and wolves cannot directly eat grass, so he It also needs a transition link, that is people."
Ning Que said: "That's what I said just now."
The master said: "Ordinary people don't know what the vitality of heaven and earth is, how can they change the vitality of heaven and earth? Or do they need practitioners. To cultivate and improve the vitality of heaven and earth is the nutrient needed by Haotian."
Ning Que said: "You mean that the vitality of heaven and earth is grass, and practitioners are those sheep that eat grass. They turn the nutrients in the grass into things that the wolf, Haotian, can absorb?"
The master said: "That's probably what I meant."
Ning Que said: "The Taoist classics have always said that practice is a gift given by Haotian to mankind. According to your statement, this gift is really terrifying."
The master said: "Of course. Haotian is more picky eaters than the wolves on the wasteland. After all, it is the top rule set in our world. In its eyes, ordinary practitioners are eating but tasteless sheep. The more Those practitioners after the five realms begin to have their own world and create their own rules. Purify the heaven and earth vitality in nature into their unique spirit, and at this time, it has become the delicacy in the eyes of Haotian."
Ning Que looked at the master and asked, "What about you?"
"At the level of being a teacher, of course it is a beautiful sheep." The master said with a smile: "But just like the relationship between a lion and a herd of bison, some bison is too strong, or the bison herd is too strong, the lion will also Feeling threatened."
Ning Que has always been very calm. When discussing with the Master, he still had a leisurely look at the grass and the cloud-like sheep under his feet. In fact, his mood oscillated to the extreme, like a boiling lamb soup pot, and a frozen lamb jelly. He was already on the verge of collapse. It was an academic discussion that did not involve reality, so he persisted.
The academic discussion will eventually fall into the real world, after he was silent for a long time. Asked the most important question in the discussion so far: "Teacher, do you have evidence?"
There is no evidence. This is an academic discussion. He can radiate his thoughts and think about the deepest, most unbelievable, and eerie places. Without any psychological burden, if there is evidence. Then this is a cruel and sad story, I can't bear to listen, let alone discuss it.
The Master knew his feelings at this time and said with a smile: "This is not a sad story, let alone a gloomy and terrifying story. For countless years, the number of practitioners who have crossed the five realms together is not as good as humans can eat in one day. There are so many sheep in China, which is really terrifying. Humans are much more terrifying than Haotian."
It is difficult for Ning Que to get comfort from this passage, because he is a man, not a sheep, so he opened his eyes, looking at the teacher innocently and pitifully, still wanting to hear the answer.
"Of course there is no evidence for this kind of thing."
The master said, and before Ning Que breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "But your little uncle, and me, have directly proved that Haotian is conscious. It is similar to and higher than human beings. This kind of life form, so he must eat something. You can hardly deny this inference."
Ning Que's expression is ugly, similar to the pig that was pushed to the bucket during the Chinese New Year.
"Cultivation is indeed a very difficult thing, but it is not too difficult for such a large number of humans. There are always some people who can practice, and there are always people who can cross the five worlds."
The master looked at him and said, "No matter how rare it is for practitioners who have crossed the five realms, countless thousands of years are accumulated, and it is a big number if you think about it, so can you tell me where they went?"
Ning Que said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace, those people may naturally grow old and die, which is not surprising."
The master said with a smile: "I have lived for more than a thousand years. If I want to, I can continue to live. It is really unusual for people above the five realms." /
Ning Que felt a bit dry and bitter in his mouth. After a while, he said: "Buddha sect Nirvana, Daomen evolve into immortals, these are described in myths and stories, those people went to heaven to enjoy the blessing?"
The master said with a smile: "Heaven? Where is the sky? Where is the Haotian Kingdom? After returning to the world, you can still have yourself? If you don't even have yourself, will you still be alive?"
This question Ning Que and Master Qishan discussed in Lanke Temple. He knew that there was no answer to this question. If you really think deep down, some answers may only point to the cold side.
"No one has been to the Haotian Divine Kingdom, and then comes back. Your little uncle may have glanced at that year, but forgot to leave a few words, so I had no answer to this question before."
The master looked at the blue white cloud above the wasteland, and said leisurely: "Until I saw the bright **** on the golden chariot, I finally saw the answer."
Ning Que asked: "Where is the answer?"
"The answer is on his face."
The master said: "His face is too perfect, and there is no perfect thing in the world, so he is not real. His perfection comes from thousands of old people, so he is not my old people."
The Master's mood was a little depressed, with some emotion, and seemed to recall a lot of past events.
Then he retracted his gaze, looked at Ning Que and said, "I saw the unified Haotian consciousness on his face, but I didn't see the individual consciousness. What I saw was eternity, so I saw death. "
This is a simple world. These are simple truths. It's just that before the Master said it, even if he was a man, Ning Que had seen the most bizarre things in the world. Can't think of these problems.
He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Didn't other practitioners think about these problems?"
"In the back mountain of the academy, you once told me. Once humans think, Haotian laughs, but in fact, there are many humans who don’t care about being laughed at by Haotian, far before me, and before me. After that, many practitioners kept thinking, and many people had similar suspicions to me."
The master walked down the meadow and said, "That kid Liu Bai. Why didn't you dare to take that step? I have been hiding in the sword pavilion for years and dare not come out? The great priest of Guangming a thousand years ago, why did he Rebelling from the Xiling Temple and creating the Demon Sect on this wasteland? It is all related to these suspicions."
Ning Que could not help but think of the Xiling Temple and asked: "Daomen and Haotian are the closest to each other, and the masters in Taomen should have a deep understanding of this aspect. Could it be that other than that one? Apart from the great priest of Guangming, has no one else doubted Haotian for tens of thousands of years?"
"The Dao Sect pursues becoming an immortal. Being led to the Vast Sky Divine Kingdom and returning to the original world is their greatest happiness. It is also the ultimate goal of their survival and struggle. This is their yearning. Where can they be suspected? "
The master looked at him and said: "It's just that for many other practitioners, it is still a problem to die alone with Haotian for eternity. This is always a problem."
……
……
To survive or die, this is a question. Eternity with Haotian, or dying alone alone, this is also a problem. But can all questions be answered?
Ning Que once again remembered what Master Liansheng had said in the Demon Sect Mountain Gate.
"Look at this filthy world. I don’t know how many mediocre pigs are alive. Don’t you think the air you breathe is so dirty and smelly? With a thief who has been silent for years, don’t you Feel the breath is extremely uneasy? Naturally, people must eat meat, pigs, dogs, chickens, and worlds. How can it be reasonable!"
"In my opinion, the way you and I exist in this world is a collection of my own ways of understanding the world. Back then, I was struggling to understand the origin of the real world and finally change my own existence. The way in the world, I finally want to change the world with extravagant hopes, and find the world that is impossible to return."
"I just pursue power and find a way to change the world. I don't care about the Dao Demon, nor who wins or loses. The reason why I am willing to come to the Demon Sect is because I want to read the lost book."
"I went to the Great River of Southern Jin Dynasty to the Moon Wheel Kingdom, and finally I went west to the remote and unknowable place. In the hanging temple, I finally heard the first lecture and saw those Qingman Buddha light, I heard the deafening Buddha words in the glory, but after a few years, I finally discovered that the monks in the Xuankong Temple are just some silly things. The so-called Buddha words blindly play mystery and have nothing to do with the fortune tellers on Songguo Street. Separately, what is even more disgusting is that the Buddha is painstakingly self-cultivation, and will only wait humblely in the face of the transfer of the fate.
"I thought I finally found a right place to get a chance to know the real world, but I didn't expect that after spending some time on Peach Mountain, I discovered that Xiling Temple is all a group of cowardly idiots. It's a group of dogs, so what about that one? After all, it is not a dog raised by Haotian! Haha...all dogs!"
In the past, Ning Que always thought that these words of Master Liansheng were just crazy talk. It was only at this moment that he finally understood how the master of the Demon Sect who studied Buddhism and Taoism was like. amazing.
Master Liansheng always stands at the highest point of the world of spiritual practice. The purpose of survival is to point directly to this old world. He wants to create a new world. He is not much different from the master and the young master. However, the method chosen and the means used should be more **** and colder.
Ning Que knew that in his life, he might not be qualified to do this multiple-choice question, because he might never reach the realm of Master Liansheng, but he thought about it carefully, if he really wants to face this multiple-choice question, or I would really choose the same answer and method as Liansheng.
Master Liansheng is amazing, and the teacher is even more amazing. He already knows how Liansheng chooses and guesses how the teacher will choose, but he doesn't know how the teacher will do it in detail.
"Teacher, what would you do?" he asked.
The master asked: "What did Liansheng plan to do back then?"
Ning Que said: "He intends to destroy the old world, create a new world, and then fight against Heaven."
The master shook his head and said: "After all, it is the relationship between eating and being eaten. Since the way of heaven does not eat people, why bother to drag hundreds of millions of ordinary people into this war?"
At this time, the master and the apprentice have gone to the bottom of the meadow, the water in the pot has boiled, and the cutting board is full of freshly cut fresh lamb. Sangsang raised his arm to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and said happily: "You can eat it."
The three began to eat lamb-shabu.
"You have to eat fresh meat for mutton, but it is much worse for frozen meat."
The master didn't know where to get the sugar garlic, crunchy and chewed, and felt contented to touch his stomach, then looked at Ning Que and said, "I am a person who likes to eat."
Ning Que thought, if you use more concise words to describe it, it would be a foodie.
The master picked up the chopsticks and fished it in a pot of clear water, and found that there was no lamb, which was a little regretful, then pointed to the sky with chopsticks and said: "Since I like to eat, of course I don't like being eaten by others."
"Why fight with the sky? Because it wants to eat me, then I have to find a way not to be eaten by it."
"How can I not be eaten by it?"
The master put a piece of frozen tofu into a bowl of sangsang, looked at the little girl who lowered her head to eat meat, sighed, and said: "This is indeed a very troublesome problem."
Ning Que pushed away the **** horse who had gathered in his bowl to grab the meat, suddenly thought of a possibility, looked at the sun above his head, and said: "If Haotian needs to eat, just eat the sun. What do you do to eat the vitality of heaven and earth?"
The wasteland is located in the cold north, although the sun still cannot be blazing in the spring, it looks like a fake painting.
The master once again raised the chopstick to the sky, pointed at the sun and said, "What if this is fake?"

(Writing this chapter, and then recalling the enchantment of more than ten chapters in the second volume, I am very moved. This kind of work may not be very effective at the time, but after all, it will make people feel satisfied. Ning Que will inherit the Master’s great wish and Ke Haoran’s spirit, but as Lian Sheng said before his death, Ning Que inherited his mantle. For Ning Que, Lian Sheng is to Ning Que who is two-fifths behind the story. Said, there are very important influences, and there are still today.) {PiaoTian Literature www.PiaoTian.com Thank you for your support, your support is our greatest motivation}
