Chapter 760 Eight-Leaf Flowers
Phoenix!
A universal and eternal proposition.
Countless people are pursuing immortality.
A long time ago, people liked to define immortality as shining with the sun and the moon, and living with heaven and earth.
But later, people found that although the sun and the moon are brilliant, they still have an end of time. Although the heavens and the earth are vast, they are not immortal.
So what is immortality?
Chu He's still standing tall enough, his gaze was still limited to the scenery, the world, and the appearance in front of him, and he couldn't even see the essence of the world clearly, not to mention the universe, time and space, and the complex multi-space-time universe, which was the realm that Immortals, Golden Immortals, and even Da Luo Jin Immortals and above could relate.
For the current Chu River, immortality is, always existing, always witnessing, and always living.
Chase more in existence, witness more truths, and live to experience more. And this process, for the current Chu River, is immortality.
Experiencing greed and hatred, seeing all the pain and happiness, not changing the original intention in the heart, the mind goes, with the big and the small.
Airplanes!
Chu He felt that his mind was clear, although his physical body was still scarce and weak, although the true yuan flowing in his body was still intermittent, as if he would be cut off at any time.
But the twilight in his primordial spirit is gone, and Shen Ke is gone.
Although the original tall Yuan Shen suddenly 'thinned' and 'shrunk' a lot, at first glance it still looks like a Yuan Infant who has just transformed into a Yuan Shen, but it is extremely firm and solid, even more real than the real person itself, and it is always filled with a sense of roundness.
Firmly fixed on the spiritual platform, the eight winds did not move.
"Although I haven't completely transformed my Dinghai Divine Needle in the spiritual platform, I have found the way, and I just need to continue down to see the results. Chu He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a lot of hardships, they even began to play with their lives, and finally found the Dinghai God Needle.
The original and final purpose of this quest he had achieved.
Even if you quit the dungeon now, you basically have no regrets.
However, he still wants to continue to walk and follow Master Xuanzang to experience the journey to the west, which is not only very interesting, but also a journey of heart refining and precipitation. Chu He didn't dare to guarantee that he would really be able to accompany Master Xuanzang through this trip, but he was sure that continuing to walk would definitely be of great benefit to him.
Frozen in the primordial spirit, although Chu He's face was still old, his eyes were no longer dim, but blooming.
"Senior Brother Wujing, since you have woken up, do you know what kind of flowers can make people see life and death when they bloom?" Chu He asked at Wujing.
Wujing thought for a while and said, "If you can see the flower of life and death, it must be the flower of the other side." Of course, it has many names, such as Hell Flower, Manju Sawah, Dragon Claw Flower, Crow Garlic, Garlic Grass, Ghost Flower, Hell Flower, Shezi Flower, Mountain Black Poison, Flat Earth Thunder, etc. ”
Speaking of the flowers on the other side, the Chu River is no stranger.
This flower is not only an ordinary plant, but also full of mythology, very contradictory.
If it is said to be a magic herb, although it is not said to be everywhere, it is not particularly rare.
Although it is toxic, it must not be used to make the so-called 'elixir' to blind Li Shimin.
Although the emperor is obsessed with immortal medicine, he wants to fight with the sky to live for another five hundred years and create an immortal country. But an emperor like Li Shimin should be difficult to be deceived, how can a mere poison with hallucinogenic effects coax him?
Hearing Su Kelu mention 'visible life and death' before, Chu He guessed the other side of the flower, but because of this reason, he denied it.
I have to say that Wujing's answer still made Chu He a little disappointed.
However, the disappointment was only for a moment, but I heard Wujing speak again.
"I've read a legend in a book. The flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet. Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined for life and death. This flower is buried in the ground with a seed, and it will bloom for a thousand years and grow leaves for a thousand years. Flowers and leaves will never meet, just like cause and effect, life and death, cannot coexist. ”
"But the flowers on the other side of the Huangquan Road, because they absorb the pain of those outlaw souls as nutrients, there will be a certain possibility, flowers and leaves coexist, break life and death, destroy cause and effect, and subvert nature. Wujing continued.
"Break life and death, destroy cause and effect... So it can really be an elixir?" Chu He said in surprise.
Wujing said: "Yes! In a sense, it can indeed be an elixir. When the order of cause and effect is reversed, when life and death exist at the same time, the laws of nature can no longer befall people. ”
It is true that it is mysterious, but according to Chu He's understanding, this is similar to the fact that a cultivator steals his previous life.
It is all by breaking a certain equilibrium in order to deceive the natural law of reincarnation, and to cancel his name on the underworld's script.
The emperor's body was filled with a huge amount of dragon qi of the Son of Heaven, and any means of cultivation were useless to the Emperor of Heaven, and even ordinary elixirs could not act on the emperor.
The emperor enjoys the supreme power, but he must experience birth, old age, sickness and death like ordinary people.
"You said that in a sense, the other side of the flower, where flowers and leaves coexist, can be an elixir. What does this mean?" Chu He heard what Wujing said, so he asked.
Wujing said: "The flowers on the other side are born with flowers and leaves, but the souls on the Huangquan Road have used their own pain to give birth to leaves. On the other side of the flower, where the flowers and leaves are the same, eight leaves will grow one after another. ”
These eight leaves actually represent the eight kinds of suffering in the world. ”
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, resentment and hatred, love and separation, unbelievable and five extracts. The flowers and leaves of the other side do subvert life and death, and in a sense, shape immortality. But these eight kinds of suffering will gradually penetrate into people's hearts, and finally invade the whole of people's souls, when the poison of the eight kinds of suffering penetrates deep into the soul and can no longer be removed, people will also be tortured by the eight kinds of suffering, and can never be liberated. ”
"By that time, the life ... It's better to die. And he became a crazy monster, and gradually spurned by all the world. ”
Getting the answer from Wujing, Chu He couldn't help but gasp.
It stands to reason that the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin have a young friendship, and although his sister Empress Changsun is deceased, she once had a deep relationship with Li Shimin and his wife.
After decades, even if there was anything unpleasant, how could this eldest grandson Wuji be so vicious, not only poisoning Li Shimin, but also letting him suffer from his soul and never be able to live forever.
"Maybe this is the right, the responsibility and the desire!"
"The obsession with rights makes the eldest grandson Wuji unable to let go of what he has now. The responsibility to the family makes him have to hold a heavy weapon in his hands, and he can't be without power for a day. The desire in his heart has pushed him to this point. ”
Chu He sorted out his thoughts, and then first said goodbye to Master Xuanzang and the four apprentices, and quietly passed on a message to meet Cheng Yanjin.
The things involved are too big, and the previous Zhao He's incident also proves that Cheng Biting Jin's Guogong Mansion is simply a sieve full of holes, although he has just cleaned up a poop, but there is no guarantee that it is really clean.
So although it seems a little sneaky, the two still quietly find a secluded place to meet, and explain all the cause and effect relationships clearly.
