Beijing is one of the most cutting-edge cities in the whole of China, and the bar culture here is also particularly developed, in 93 years, when many cities in China did not have so-called bars, in Beijing, bars have blossomed everywhere. (You can find this site)

Although I have lived in Beijing for a few years, I am not a trend-catcher, or I am a very rustic person at heart, and this is my first time in a bar.

The dim lighting, some ambiguous music, the red men and green women who can't see clearly, and the unique smell of the bar, all of these are so strange to me, I even feel a little dizzy.

Standing at the door of the bar, I saw the man at a glance, and he saw me at a glance, holding a glass of red wine and making a toast gesture to me.

Cultivators, their own aura is different from ordinary people, and it is normal for us to be able to see each other at a glance.

Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the man, who was sitting in the corner and pointed to the couch next to me and said, "Sit." ”

I sat down unceremoniously, and for a moment I didn't know what to say to him, and just as I was about to touch the cigarette, he handed me a cigar and a very strange pair of scissors and said, "Here's one?" Or do you need me to cut the cigar for you? ”

I pushed his hand away, took out my own cigarette, lit one, and said to him, "I haven't smoked it, I guess I'm not used to it, and I know how to cut it." ”

When I said this, I thought of my master, who likes to squat in the field and like to hold a dry tobacco stick, and maybe I like that more.

When I think about this, a smile appears on my face.

But I don't want to, at this time, the man poured me another glass of red wine, the bright red wine hung on the crystal glass, there is a very unique beauty, but unfortunately, I am used to drinking hot and spicy liquor with Master, and I am used to smelling the unique aroma of wine, this red wine, I think it is beautiful at most, but there is nothing I want to drink**.

"This bottle is my presence here, and there is no such good thing in this bar. 82 years, um you taste? At this point, he smiled again, as evil as ever, and said to me, "Could it be that you also know red wine?" Would you like me to tell you which winery it belongs to? ”

I didn't touch the wine, just took a puff of my cigarette and said to him, "I'm sorry, I don't know about red wine." However, your cigar, in my eyes, may not be as smooth as a Hongta Mountain for me to smoke, and your red wine, in my eyes, may not be as pleasant as a glass of Daqu wine. If you ask me to come here today, if it's just about wine and cigars, then I'll take my leave. ”

When I was done, I was really ready to go, but I didn't want the man to stop me, and he said, "Do you see the difference?" What is the difference between posterity and posterity? ”

What does this mean? I raised my eyebrows, but instead of leaving, I sat down again, and waited to hear what he had to say.

Seeing that I wasn't leaving, this man smiled proudly again, and said, "My name is Xiao Chengqian, you see, I am also from the Chengzi generation, is it a coincidence?" Coincidentally, I'm also from the mountain line. ”

My heart is not very calm all of a sudden, the mountain character line, the word generation is the same as me, does he have any connection with our line? But my face was very calm, and I asked him very calmly, "And then?" ”

"And then? Hehe, and then I also admit that Lao Li, that is, your ancestor is a very capable person, but unfortunately his descendants and I live a different life. Do you know what life I am? You can almost call me a nobleman, I can wear the best clothes, eat the best food, drink the best wine, want the most beautiful woman, and importantly, I don't lack any resources for cultivation. But what about you? What do you have? Life with your master is also stretched, right? And how long can you continue to cultivate? This is the destruction of the Tao. Xiao Chengqian said to me with some excitement.

But I looked at him very calmly, did not say anything, and let him continue.

"Cultivators are inherently different, what is a Daoist after cultivating? It's a god! Isn't the predecessor of this Manchurian Buddha also a cultivator? Therefore, cultivators are originally superior beings, that is, nobles! What is our purpose? There is only one, that is, metaphysics, after all, becoming an immortal, and the rest is not important, you know? It doesn't matter! There was a hint of madness in Xiao Chengqian's eyes.

I asked, "Doesn't it matter?" It doesn't matter what means are included? It's the word 'I' that matters. ”

He took a sip of red wine, sipped a cigar in his mouth a little proudly, and looked at me: "As the disciple of that smelly and hard old Li, don't you also have a time of enlightenment?" Knowing the way of 'me'? The heart is the self, the will of the self is everything, the avenue is three thousand, the path is innumerable, the self is my way, no matter how the road is walked, the end is the same is the goal. Do you need to care about any means? Isn't even the universe a 'me', and its rules are the way of heaven? ”

I snuffed out my cigarette, showed a hint of a smile, and then said, "Do you mean that if you become an immortal and become a god, well, become the most powerful immortal god, and even reach the level of the universe, you are the way of heaven?" ”

He squinted his eyes and said, "You can understand that too. ”

"You seem to want to convince me and then approve of your word." I leaned back on the couch and said.

"Convincing Lao Li is what my ancestor has always wanted to do, he didn't do it, I really want to convince his apprentices. I just want to say to you, cultivators follow their own hearts, their hearts are not restrained, you don't want to be sour and rotten, that's not Taoism, it's Confucianism. As long as you nod your head and you are willing, you can also live an aristocratic life, with the cultivation resources you want, and you can live with a pure heart. Xiao Chengqian's face was full of arrogance.

I laughed suddenly, and then drank the red wine on the table in one gulp, then snatched his cigar again, took two puffs, and stuffed it back into his hand, and then said: "I drank the red wine, and I smoked the cigar, and I'm sorry, I don't think there is anything to envy in such an aristocratic way of life." What if you have the world's cultivation resources? What you have cultivated is nothing more than a stinky skin, or, what you think is metaphysical, is it just that pile of flesh on your body that flies into the sky? Just as you foolishly think that the so-called heart is to live arrogantly? ”

In the face of my words, the smile on Xiao Chengqian's face suddenly froze, and he showed that gloomy smile again, looked at me and said, "Chen Chengyi, right?" Do you want to prove to me that you are as smelly and hard as your ancestors? Do you know why people in this world don't believe in immortals? It's because they don't see it, and the other thing is that the power that belongs to the gods is suppressed by other forces, just like what science, but what is science? It is only for the metaphysical shoes, it is only an auxiliary tool! Only by proving the existence of immortals and tracing the mysteries of metaphysics can it be a great achievement for human beings, and is the means important? On the way, when was the gore banned? Don't be the stone in the way of that avenue! ”

"You have said that there are three thousand avenues, and there are countless small roads, what do you do denying science? What's the point of you judging the highs and lows? I really don't want to argue with you, because I don't know if you're going to be a cultivator or if you're already a demon. I just want to tell you simply, people in this world, including me, have not seen the so-called immortals, but they can't see them yet, this is not a shameful, obstructive thing, this is just a necessary tempering. You also have to remember that the most important thing for a person is never the body, but the soul, the heart. And your heart, you who are about to become a madman, will never understand. Zi Fei Fish, I don't know the joy of fish, I don't understand your extremes, and you don't need to understand my persistence. I can't live your aristocratic life, I can't admit your means, gods are not immortals, I won't think too much, I only know that on this road, as long as I go on safely, there will be the way I want after all. ”

After saying that, I didn't pay attention to Xiao Chengqian anymore, stood up and prepared to walk out of the bar.

Xiao Chengqian shouted behind me: "Chen Chengyi, one day, you will be beaten by me and say that you are wrong." ”

"That's just in your dreams." I didn't look back, and in that moment, I finally knew what kind of mad organization I was up against.
