As a eunuch, I don't want to live forever

Chapter 346
Meet men.

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback.

Then he laughed.

"Ask the heart, ask the heart. Now that I think about it, this may be what the Wenxin Pavilion really refers to."

If you don't ask your heart, how can you ask?
If you don't ask your heart, how can you see the path under your feet?
Sure enough, there is always a fixed reason for the existence of all things in this world.

only……

"Father-in-law, do you want this knife?"

Chen Luo asked.

"It's not absolutely necessary..."

The man in green said: "But my father-in-law wanted it, so he thought the knife was good, so he wanted it."

"Eunuch, have you always been so mean?"

"Don't say that."

The man shook his head: "I just find it interesting. Besides... the word "cheap" is suitable for our family, father-in-law?"

Chen Luo was silent.

for a long time.

"It's really not suitable."

"That's right."

The man in green is holding the knife and stroking it...

This knife shines brightly.

The light seemed to be alive and entered the man's mind.

The man realized.

His expression changed.

There was a troubled look on his face.

He looked at Chen Luo.

"Father-in-law, would you like to discuss something?"

"???"

"Give this knife back to you, don't take it anymore!"

With that said, he threw the knife out.

Clang!
no front.

But it fell into the ground three points.

It's as if the land in front of it is just like tofu.

"???"

"Take care, father-in-law. Quan Dang has never appeared in our house, and he has never touched that knife. This kind of fucking thing is too tiring. Say goodbye!"

A gust of wind blows.

The man in green clothes in front of him disappeared with the wind.

Chen Luo was left standing alone, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.

But soon he understood,

It is a matter of the heart.

Although the original mind is scattered, all the things I have understood can be retained.

people go.

This realization entered Chen Luo's heart.

As it happened, Chen Luo regretted entering Southern Xinjiang, and even more regretted seeking these five mysterious items in the past.

Think about it now...

Although Fang Xing tried his best to prevent himself from obtaining this thing.

Maybe he has his own selfish motives.

But if I look back today, it seems that this selfishness is of great benefit to me.

"This knife... is a bit heavier!"

Chen Luo rubbed his head.

I looked at the knife under my feet...

I finally understand why my original intention disappeared, and I don’t want to get this again.

What is the original heart?

The heart of the Self.

After all, it is another existence exactly like myself.

thought.

Xiuwei.

means.

The interests, hobbies, and weaknesses are all the same.

Chen Luo was still thinking that if he walked out of Wenxin Pavilion today, he would have to give himself a beating, but he thought that he would save himself trouble.

And the ultimate reason is that this knife is too troublesome. As for him, he doesn't want trouble, so he keeps this trouble to himself.

Can……

"Our family doesn't want this trouble."

Knife……

For enlightenment!
The thing that condenses the path of immortality...

As for why people in the world can no longer ascend, Chen Luo now finally knows.

There is a way for everyone.

This immortal also has a path to immortality.

However, thousands of years ago, the immortal road suddenly broke apart for unknown reasons.

then.

So far, no one in the human world can enter the immortal world.

Then there was the last strong man from Shattered Void who said that there is no more immortal in the world.

Can……

Since this immortal road is broken, another way is needed...

Or there is a spirit in the fairy road.

Or it’s God’s will.

This knife finally came into being.

[You collected the fragments of the Immortal Path, and finally gathered the fragments together to obtain the Knife of Enlightenment.

Vaguely, you have had a glimpse of the road at the end of the world of mortals.

PS: The path to immortality has an end, the path of mortals, the path of cultivating immortality, the path of mortals... When you enter the world of mortals, you become an immortal of mortals, but after the path of mortals, there is another path.

But please think twice before taking this path... Once you enter this path, it will be difficult to get out! 】

peep?

Is it peeping?

That path was now standing naked in front of him, waiting for him to step into it.

This is the path of saints...

Open up the path to immortality.

Use the enlightenment knife in your hand to open the path to immortality...

Gee!

Chen Luo sighed.

That's quite a kindness...

No wonder I would refuse it.

pity……

"Farewell!"

Chen Luo clasped his fists...

turn around, leave...

As for the sword of enlightenment, Chen Luo would not touch it.

500 years.

Going around.

Finally learned this secret.

pity……

The mission is too heavy.

After all, our family is still an ordinary person.

I have walked the world of mortals for 500 years. Looking back now, this world of mortals is still better. As for the way of a saint, it is really not something ordinary people like him can do.

The mission is too heavy, and my destiny is not strong enough to accept it.

As for regret?

Not really.

Knowing the secrets left behind for tens of thousands of years, the era before the ancient times also knew it.

I even saw the first immortal weapon in the world.

Many things that many people never know in their entire lives can be learned in just one day.

And I know all the answers I want to know...

What else is there to regret?
thought here.

Chen Luo's heart felt particularly relaxed.

Wind blows.

This wind is strange.

It seemed that what was blowing was not his own clothes, but also his hair.

Instead, it blew through his own divine sea, the hazy and indelible miasma that had enveloped him for hundreds of years.

then.

My mind becomes clearer and clearer.

Those truths and true meanings that once became profound and unknowable seem to be without confusion.

He asked himself what is Tao?
Everyone in the world who practices immortality says they are on their own path.

But what is the Tao?

Now that you know this way, should you practice it?
Do you behave appropriately?

Unfortunately, this question has always been complicated. In the past, Chen Luo often asked himself, how to see the Tao, how to ask questions, and how to practice the Tao?

But in the end it couldn't be done.

I can't understand either.

I only know that I am walking on the path of the mortal world. Walking in this world, seeing the mortal world, feeling the mortal world, and understanding the mortal world is walking the path.

But now I look back and realize that maybe I thought this issue was too complicated from beginning to end.

There is a saying in "Yi Zhuan":

"Yi" is consistent with heaven and earth, so it can understand the way of heaven and earth.

Later it was said:

If you take advantage of the righteousness of the heaven and the earth and control the differentiation of the six qi, you will be able to swim to the infinite, and you will be treated badly!

What is the righteousness of heaven and earth?
Be on the right track!

Sit upright!

Heart is right!

Righteous people!

All things will be right.

How to control the six qi?

See the energy of heaven and earth!
See the yin and yang energy!
See the Qi of the Five Elements!
See the spirit of humanity!
See the energy of the people!
See the energy of life and death!
Of course, this is a bit more complicated.

Chen Luo has always disliked complicated things.

So, how to practice Tao... Chen Luo felt that after all, it was just that word: Just do whatever you want!
this moment.

Chen Luo's way finally changed.

It seemed as if there was some sound coming from him, and the divine sea in his body changed drastically.

That state of confusion for a long time.

Finally, at this time, it fell into place and entered a whole new realm.

Chen Luo stopped.

Slowly close your eyes and carefully feel the changes after enlightenment...

Shortly after.

He opened his eyes.

step by step.

People...are still where they are.

But in Taohuawu, his body also appeared.

It was as if the same people appeared in different places at the same time.

of course.

it's not true.

A bird flew by in the palace, seemingly by accident, and landed on 'Chen Luo''s body.

then……

This bird passed through.

Fate is an afterimage.

In Taohuawu...

by the lake.

A woman in blue was squatting there washing her hands.

See Chen Luo appear.

Startled.

The whole person started to panic.

He stood up and wanted to hide, maybe because of his clumsiness, or maybe because the soil under his feet was a little soft.

So the whole person fell into the water.

Chen Luo shook his head.

With a click of a finger, the water on the lake seemed to come alive, holding the woman and sending her back.

Women are embarrassed,

It turned into a puff of smoke and dispersed.

But the green smoke seemed to hesitate and merged into another woman in the garden.

The woman looked at Chen Luo from a distance.

Bow down.

Grabbing the hem of clothes.

Seems to be struggling with something.

Then he slowly and cautiously approached Chen Luo and saluted: "I've seen you, sir..."

"Not afraid anymore?"

"Not afraid."

The woman shook her head: "Sir, he has known about me for a long time. If he really has evil intentions towards Yun Yan, he will not be able to escape no matter how hard he escapes."

"Your name is Yun Yan?"

"Yes……"

"To achieve enlightenment by a wisp of smoke in the world, and turn it into a cloud of smoke in the world, this is a good name!"

Chen Luo nodded.

Nice name.

He's also a good-looking person.

Yun Yan was not surprised to see that his true identity was known.

We chatted a little more.

Yun Yan, who was still a little afraid of Chen Luo, finally became less afraid.

The topics of conversation with Chen Luo gradually increased.

Just seeing the Cat Lady and the others arriving, the clouds suddenly turned into blue smoke and dissipated, as if they had never appeared.

"Master, who are you talking to?"

Cat Empress asked.

Chen Luo shook his head.

"A shy little girl..."

Just one sentence.

The Cat Lady will know.

smiled.

As for the little girl's shyness, they thought that after some time, she would not be so shy.

"Are you in a fusion?"

Fellow Taoist Bailong said suddenly.

then……

The cat lady also discovered,

Unknowingly, none of them could clearly see Chen Luo's cultivation.

Although I couldn't see clearly before, the realm was all about guessing.

But today the feeling and atmosphere are even more different.

Chen Luodao: "Combined realm? That's right..."

"That's right, how to calculate it?"

"It's hard to say." "Yeah."

Fellow Taoist Bailong hummed and stopped asking.

Chen Luo did not continue to explain.

Can't explain clearly...

After Nascent Soul, all people in this world will be united.

But he has never been a Nascent Soul, so naturally he is not in one body.

Rather...

In the divine realm?

Thinking about it this way, this realm is not bad, and it is in line with my current realm.

In the state of wandering, one thought can travel thousands of miles.

If we really talk about it, there is really no place in the whole world and within the sky that I can't go to.

of course.

This method seems a bit shocking.

If it can be used without it, it is still not easy to use it frequently.

……

The result of Asking the Heart Pavilion is something no one asked about.

No need to ask.

Now that Chen Luo has returned to Peach Blossom Wu, it can be seen that he has passed the test of questioning his heart.

Of course, they wouldn't know that Chen Luoguo had passed the heart-searching test, but he didn't pass it by himself... Well, that's not right either!
Since you are asking about your heart, what you are asking about is your original heart, so naturally it is yourself.

The only difference is that I dislike it because it is too troublesome, so I am too lazy to fight or talk nonsense.

Then he left by himself...

If you put it this way, there is nothing wrong with you succeeding in asking your mind.

See boredom.

Fellow Taoist Bailong asked Chen Luo if he was going out to parade.

Chen Luo was surprised.

Looking at fellow Taoist Bailong...

Fellow Taoist Bailong looked at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo laughed: "Of course it's good."

Then he asked Cat Lady if we were together...

Cat Empress shook her head.

She thought it would be better to read at home.

Just seeing Chen Luo and fellow Taoist Bai Long going out, he still gave the order: "If Master goes to Changyuan Street, you can call Xiaobai when you come back and ask him to remember to come back for dinner."

"Xiaobai went to play with Jia Xiaobing again?"

Jia Xiaobing is Jia Hongxi's son.

Ghostly.

Seeing Chen Luo, he called Grandpa Chen...

The next second, he reached out and asked for candy.

At first, Chen Luo gave...

Later, I gave it to him too.

But the candy was a bit too hard and broke two of his front teeth.

Then I stopped eating candy.

But when I saw Chen Luo, I never lost my sense of respect.

Chen Luo also asked him if he had any thoughts of cultivating immortality. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "Only fools cultivate immortality. Isn't it better to be an ordinary person?"

Have a calm mind.

No hypocrisy in sight.

So Chen Luo also liked him a little...

In this world, there are not many people who can see so clearly.

Especially those who can withstand the temptation of immortality, let alone very few...

Xiaobai also likes him and goes to Jia's house to play with him from time to time. He knows everything.

I often take Xiaobai to the river to catch fish.

That was real catching, not the kind of fishing done by Chen Luo...

With a dustpan, with a keg.

They ran to the river in twos and threes.

Find a patch of grass, place the dustpan near the grass downstream, stare hard at the grass with your feet for a while, and then fish it out. There will be a lot of fish there.

Of course...these fish are all small fish as big as three or four fingers.

If it were bigger, it would have to go into deep water, and then this kind of dustpan wouldn't be able to move it.

But even so, catching this fish is also interesting.

Xiaobai likes this kind of thing and thinks it is more interesting than fishing with Chen Luo.

Chen Luo didn't explain either.

Children don't understand.

This fishing is never about catching fish, it is about catching life.

If one day it reaches its realm, she will naturally understand...

Of course not only that.

Jia Xiaobing often takes Xiaobai up the mountain to pick fruits.

There are wild loquats.

There is a dark, small... small fruit called 'Zhongni' here in the empire.

There are also things that are like mangoes, but appear in bunches and turn purple when ripe, which they call wild longan.

And... the small, yellow and red 'Shan Zao' is so sour that it makes you grin, but the more you eat, the more you want to eat it.

and many more……

very many!
These days, Xiao Baitian runs to Jia's house every day, and every time he comes back, he brings achievements.

Sometimes, my whole body is covered with mud, and even my shoes are missing, but I am carrying fish, pheasants, wild fruits and so on.

It also has the rhythm of being happy and reluctant to miss the early days.

Now I heard from the Cat Lady that Xiaobai went to Jia's house...

Think about it.

I'm afraid this Jia Mansion cannot be found.

It must have been built on a mountain top or in a river!
But Chen Luo also agreed.

It would be a good idea to go to Changyuan Street when we come back...

……

The imperial capital of Dayan was lively.

In the past, many Chen Luo walked on the street and saw all kinds of things in the world.

Occasionally, I would chat with some vendors.

And because of what happened in Taohuawu, Chen Luo's name is quite famous among the mortals in this empire.

At first it was because that was the weird part after all.

There is another murder.

Now there are people living in it. If not an expert, who would dare?

Naturally, it has spread to some extent among the people...

Later, they felt that Chen Luo was good.

Senior?

perhaps!

But they have never seen an expert who can get along with ordinary people.

"Sir, you went out again today? Would you like a piece of sesame cake?"

A sesame seed seller shouted.

But when he called out, he was ridiculed: "Wu Dalang, your wife Pan made these sesame cakes today? If this is the case, these sesame cakes must taste good, and I will definitely eat two more of them."

"Go away, you lame. Don't you envy my wife for her beauty? It's a pity that you won't be able to marry someone as good-looking as my wife in this life. It would be great if you could find a yellow-faced woman!"

"Haha, Wu Dalang, don't say that. I heard that a matchmaker recently asked Lame about his marriage. I'm afraid he's going to get a wife!"

"Marrying a wife at the age of 30 is not considered a skill!"

"Yes, of course, I'm not as capable as you Wu Dalang, and your wife is pretty, right? But...you have to keep a close eye on me, because you're as good-looking as my husband, for fear that your wife will keep an eye on others."

Chen Luo was originally listening to their chat, but when the topic suddenly turned to him, he was really not used to it.

"What does it have to do with me? I'm just passing by, lame, don't make any trouble!"

"Sir, hit him!"

Wu Dalang added fuel to the fire.

"I can't beat him."

"Sir is joking."

Everyone laughed...

Can't beat it?
The lame thing is that even a child can beat him and bully him...

This gentleman is an expert, so he can't beat him?
of course.

Everyone was just joking, no harm was intended.

These vendors sell goods here all day long. If they didn't joke and chat with each other, the day would be boring.

This is why Chen Luo likes to chat with them.

He still likes this kind of fireworks the most.

Fellow Taoist Bailong has never liked to talk or laugh...

But every time I see Chen Luo talking and laughing with them, he often laughs.

But every time Chen Luo looked at her, she stopped smiling.

Chen Luo also took a candied haws and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Eat something sweet, it will make your smile sweeter."

Fellow Taoist Bailong listens.

eating...

Then he smiled, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

she says.

"Still can't learn."

"Can't you learn to laugh?"

she nods...

I have worked hard for a long time and tried for a long time.

Learn to be human.

Learn to do things.

Learn to see all the joys and sorrows in this world.

I also know that this person is happy, angry, worried, thoughtful, sad, fearful, frightened...

But after so many years, I don’t seem to understand these things very well.

of course.

There are also times when I understand.

For example, when she is around Chen Luo, she will feel very happy and joyful.

If she is no longer by his side, she will feel missed, just like she did when she was alone in the Northern Territory.

But if everything had nothing to do with Chen Luo, she would find it boring.

As if nothing matters.

"If you can't learn it, then learn it slowly. You have plenty of time anyway, right?"

"Time is running out."

Fellow Daoist Bailong said.

Chen Luoshou, who was eating Wu Dalang sesame cakes, paused slightly, then continued to tear off a piece and threw it into his mouth.

Eat carefully.

Let the taste of this sesame seed cake linger in your mouth for a long time, giving you endless aftertaste.

"Leaving?"

"Um……"

"Where to go?"

"Go back to the Northern Territory."

"trouble?"

"It's not too much trouble..."

"Do you need our family to accompany you?

Fellow Taoist Bailong thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I want to, but I don't want to..."

She added: "In the end, I didn't want to think about it anymore. You don't like trouble, and what I do is really troublesome. Of course... the most important thing is that I don't want to talk about it."

"All right!"

Chen Luo took another bite of sesame seed cake.

She was silent for a while.

Then he said: "When I come back, I will stay with you..."

Probably not enough.

Then he said: "I won't die."

then……

The more fragrant the sesame cakes in your hand are, the more you eat them, the more you won't get tired of them.

he thinks.

This sesame cake must have come from the Pan family's wife.

If not, why is it so charming?
That woman is really a fairy...

But a few days later, Chen Luo heard gossip that Wu Da was dead and was poisoned by the Pan family's wife.

But it was the Pan family's wife who got involved with a rich kid from the imperial capital city.

After Wu Dalang found out, he fell ill and went to bed again.

Later, Mrs. Pan's wife boiled the medicine and fed it herself, often saying: "Da Lang, drink the medicine..."

It's a pity that the Yamen can't find any evidence.

So I can only give up.

But not long after, Madam Pan left the Wu Mansion and entered the Ximen Mansion!
That kid from the rich family is Ximen...

I heard that he originally had two concubines.

One is Ye Ping'er
The second is Chu Xiaomei

Now there are more ladies from the Pan family.

It's a coincidence that the wife of the Pan family is Pan Jin'er...

When Chen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh at this coincidence.

Is this inappropriate "Jin Ping Mei"?
Is the story of the earth in the previous life reappearing?

Or is it that the Jin Ping Mei written by Li Bai in the past can finally be traced?
of course.

These are things for the future, they haven’t happened yet.

When I wanted to come back, I went to Xiayuan Street... and sure enough I couldn't find Xiaobai.

Instead, Lady Jia was a little stunned.

"Xiao Bing said he was going to Mr. Bai's house to play with Miss Bai, but he didn't go?"

Chen Luo said: "Xiaobai said he came to Jia's house to look for soldiers to play with."

Several people looked at each other.

Dumbfounding.

These two kids know how to play!
Xiao Bai didn't care, but seeing the look on Mrs. Jia's face, he thought that Xiao Bing must be feeling comfortable when she came back.

So Chen Luo comforted him: "It's normal for children to be naughty, but whether in the mountains or in the water, they are always uneasy. Just come back and talk to him.

Of course, it is always useless for children to say it. For example, I usually have better methods, so the children at home are sometimes obedient. "

"How do you educate your children, sir?"

"It's not education, it's mainly about heart-to-heart conversations. It's just that the children's postures are more interesting during the heart-to-heart conversations. Our hands are not too idle."

"Sir, please help me."

"Simple... spread a layer of gravel on the ground, not too sharp, just the kind that stings the feet and hurts. Take off your shirt and make him kneel down...

Hold a basin of water on top of your head, raise it high, and do not let it fall when you reach over your head. Do not spill the water in the basin.

Take an old bamboo strip, remove the leaves, and hit it on your body. It will hurt but won't hurt your bones.

I think if this is the case, the child will understand the dangers on the mountain and in the water. "

Chen Luo laughed.

"Of course, I don't recommend this. To educate children, heart-to-heart talk is more important. By the way, this bamboo stick is good, and I don't have much gift to give to Madam Jia. After thinking about it, this is the only thing I can do."

Chen Luo took out an old bamboo stick.

Worried that Mrs. Jia would beat the soldiers, she tried to persuade her again: "Ms. Jia, please don't beat your children. Education is more important than heart-to-heart talk!"

Lady Jia nodded.

But with a sneer.

"Have a heart-to-heart talk? The bamboo stick in my hand is the heart!"

Chen Luo: ...

sigh!

This is really bad...

Education should focus on heart-to-heart conversations.
