36. The head is broken
And Bai Qinghou seemed to wake up from his sleep at this time, hunched over and half-sat there, smiled at him, and then, pointed to his chest, and said lightly: Actually, the exit is here, I have walked out of here fifteen years ago.
As if he didn't understand what he meant, Bai Qingyi quickly stood up, touched this side on the stone wall behind him, and picked it again.
He touched it and muttered, "Where? Where is it?" Why can't I find the exit?
Although the expression on Bai Qinghou's face was relaxed and natural, his tone was full of seriousness and quietness.
He just turned around suddenly, grabbed Bai Qingyi's hand that was groping around, and said slowly: Second brother, don't look for it, like you, you can't find it at all.
A trace of inexplicable light suddenly appeared on Bai Qingyi's face, but a pair of hands was still groping, and said: Brother, how to find it?
Bai Qinghou slowly groped around, supporting the ground with both hands to move his body, and then, pointing at a rock he had just groped, said lightly:
Second brother, you sit down here first, and then, close your eyes, don't think about anything, don't look at anything, just like a monk sitting in meditation, your mind is free of distractions, and it won't be long before you can find it.
Although Bai Qingyi still didn't quite understand what he meant, when he saw the calm expression on his brother's face when he said these words, he still sat down on the stone.
However, he could not calm his mind, and still looked around for something, but found nothing, so he said:
Brother, just now I have searched almost all the stones in the cave, but I can't find it, and now, if I sit down and don't move, I just use my brain to think, and I can't find it.
Bai Qinghou suddenly smiled, smiling like an amiable Maitreya Buddha, and then, facing Bai Qingyi, slowly, word by word:
Second brother, actually, you misunderstood what I meant, because the exit I just mentioned is not something that can be found with your hands, but with your heart and brain.
Now, as long as you can calm yourself down as I am now, I believe that with your understanding, it will not take long to find out.
Saying this, he pointed to his chest again with his dry and wilted finger, and said lightly: Because the exit is not in the cave, but in our hearts.
Bai Qingyi didn't know if he still didn't understand his words, or if he felt that his words were a little incredible, and after hearing this, he couldn't help frowning, and said: What?
Bai Qinghou's face didn't mean to joke at all, and even nodded solemnly, saying: That's right, in my heart, the exit of this underground treasure is in your heart and mine.
Hearing this, Bai Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and couldn't help sighing, and then sat down on the rock with a dejected voice, never wanting to move again.
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Bai Qinghou reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and said lightly:
Second brother, don't you understand what I said, and even think that what I said is a bit incredible, although my words are a bit incredible, but the truth is true, in fact, I also found it for a long time to find this exit.
At this time, Bai Qingyi seemed to be trying his best to hide the loss and melancholy in his heart, not letting them show it as much as possible.
In fact, even if it is expressed, Bai Qinghou may not be able to see it.
He just patted his brother's hand lightly with his other hand, and then, with a faint smile, said:
Oh, brother, I understand what you mean, do you want to tell me that there is no way in the cave, there is a way in the heart, as long as we calm down and try not to think about the exit out of this road, then all the exits will suddenly open in our hearts one day?
Having said that, I still don't quite understand that even if we find a hundred and eleven exits in our hearts, what is the use?
Bai Qinghou shook his head slightly, and even smiled, but with a hint of helplessness and an unfathomable expression in his smile, he said slowly:
Second brother, you still don't understand, in fact, the exit I just mentioned is not in front of you, nor at your feet, nor in this cave, but in our hearts.
Hearing this, Bai Qingyi seemed to be a little deflated, and a little unclear, so he sat up and walked around, looked around, and said in a deep voice:
How can there be an outlet in our hearts, and even if there is an outlet in our hearts, how can we go about it? I really don't understand.
Bai Qinghou moved, as if he wanted to stand up, but his face changed slightly, and he sat down again.
He stretched out his hand and touched the rubble beside him, as if he were looking for something, and then, picking up an inconspicuous stone from it, he threw it casually towards the waterhole not far away, splashing a large string of water, and suddenly sighed, and said:
In fact, in this world, all roads have been stepped on by others, you go, I go, anyone can walk, and it doesn't belong to anyone at all.
Speaking of this, he touched his chest again, with a look of emotion, and continued: Only this road hidden in our hearts is truly our own.
On weekdays, we can't see or touch it, but when you really need it, you can feel it.
For us, it is like a dusty door, only when you pay attention, can you discover its existence, and you can walk out of this door.
As the second son of the Golden Villa, as the new generation of sword gods after the sword thirty in the rivers and lakes, although Bai Qingyi is not as knowledgeable and talented as Bai Qinghou, he can be regarded as a reasonable person.
However, now, Bai Qinghou's words still make him unclear, sometimes he seems to understand, but sometimes he feels that he doesn't understand anything.
Bai Qingyi turned around and looked carefully at the withered, hard, languishing, and even zombie-like brother sitting in front of him at the moment, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It was a feeling that could not be described in words, how to say this feeling-
He always felt that a person would always change, and the older he gets, the faster he will change, but for him, his brother will inevitably change too much.
In his memory, his brother is not the kind of pedantic person, he likes to speak straight and straightforward the most, and hates others to turn around and be sour and pedantic.
But now he himself?
Thinking of this, Bai Qingyi couldn't help but sigh, and then, looking at Bai Qinghou, he secretly thought: Probably because my brother has been locked up here for too long, that's why these unclear words came, or it was - or his head was broken.
That's what he really thought at the time.
However, he did not express this thought.
He just sighed slightly, and then walked up to Bai Qinghou and said lightly: "Brother, although I don't understand your words very well, I know that you want to comfort me.
However, you also know my personality, and since we are not dead, we must be able to find an exit out of this Jizo, and no matter what, I will definitely take you out of this damn Jizo.
