Chapter 54 Crazy Old Man
Many pavilions have been built in Daimei Mountain, most of which are built by the water.
In the deep places, there were groups of three or five. The people with high caps and boasted each other sat against each other and discussed the truth. In the distance of these people, there were mostly groups of slaves waiting.
The rich enjoy the fun, the famous scholars' mysterious talk, and the casual part of the Daimei Mountain is actually a microcosm of the current society.
Zhou Cheng walked in Daimei Mountain like an ordinary person. He also saw several mysterious circles wherever he passed, and he could hear these people's talk from afar.
What these people talk about is indeed mysterious, all of which are topics that cannot be found for accurate answers. From why do the sun, moon and stars change positions in the sky? From where do the fish, shrimp, and water plants in the water come from?
However, Zhou Cheng found that everyone was talking about very profound topics, but they were a bit vague, and there was no one talking about the way to govern the country and the way to benefit the people.
Zhou Cheng was not interested in these mysterious talks that were praised and sought after by the world, but the scenery of Daimei Mountain was indeed beautiful, and Zhou Cheng felt refreshed and happy when he was in it.
The curiosity about the Daimei Wenhui turned into an appreciation of the scenery of Daimei Mountain. Zhou Cheng walked casually and gradually walked to some places that were rarely visited.
Zhou Cheng stood on a raised boulder, with no trees blocking him. You can see the Yellow River winding beneath your feet.
Just after Zhou Cheng stood on the huge rock for less than a moment, in the other direction, an old man wearing a coarse linen and tied his hair with a wooden hairpin was muttering toward the huge rock.
"It's here...it's here... the place that the sages implied was actually Daimeishan..." The old man kept saying inexplicable words, and anyone who saw them would think he was a crazy old man.
Zhou Cheng also felt someone appearing behind him, so he turned around and looked at the old man. The two of them looked at each other, as if they were a little surprised. Zhou Cheng subconsciously wanted to leave here.
"Don't move... Masked boy, stand and don't move..." The crazy old man suddenly shouted, and his feet accelerated and walked towards Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng looked at the crazy old man with some surprise. He didn't know what the old man was trying to suddenly appear, so he simply stood there waiting for him to come.
The crazy old man approached Zhou Cheng, walked around Zhou Cheng, took a few steps back, and looked at Zhou Cheng from various angles, as if comparing Zhou Cheng with the surrounding scenery.
"It shouldn't be... the place is right... Why is there one more person? Everything must have cause and effect..." The crazy old man murmured to himself with a puzzled look on his face, then suddenly looked up and looked at Zhou Cheng bowing and bowing: "I don't know what sir is calling me? What's the matter when I come here?"
The crazy old man asked two questions, and when he asked, he suddenly became polite and thoughtful, and his words and demeanor were quite decent. Although his clothes were shabby, he was like an old scholar who had been experiencing his classics and had a long head.
There were two completely different temperaments in a person. This was the first time Zhou Cheng met. Although he was curious in his heart, he also bowed to the old man: "Next Zhou Cheng, the scenery is charming, so he stopped for a moment. I wonder why the gentleman just asked to live there?"
"I calculated from the two sutras of "Lianshan" and "Guizang" that this place is the center of the world, the part under your feet." The crazy old man pointed at Zhou Cheng's feet and said with joy.
"Can you calculate this? Mr. must be a famous scholar in the world? I haven't asked the old gentleman for his name?" Zhou Cheng was a little frightened when he heard this. He didn't know if this crazy old man was a strange man.
"What a famous scholar... is just a person who seeks fame and reputation. I am Liu Hui, just a seeker." The crazy old man said with disdain at first, and then stroked his beard proudly.
"Seeker? What kind of Tao is the sir looking for?" Zhou Cheng put away his previous contempt and asked seriously, while his divine thoughts carefully swept over Liu Hui.
This is the first time Zhou Cheng has heard of the saying of seeker.
However, through the divine thought Zhou Cheng discovered that Liu Hui was not a master hermit, and even his physical condition was extremely poor. It is not an exaggeration to describe Liu Hui as a dying person.
"The Way of True..." When talking about the way he was following, Liu Hui felt completely different. In Zhou Cheng's feeling, his temperament was not inferior to those famous scholars.
"What is the truth?" Zhou Cheng was a little confused, but he vaguely felt that Liu Hui was really not simple.
Liu Hui glanced at Zhou Cheng, and then said seriously: "Sometimes the truth is often unacceptable. Even if I say something, I'm afraid you won't believe it? If I say that the sun, moon and stars above my head are all fake, do you think I'm crazy?"
"Fake it? Why is this?" Zhou Cheng frowned, and he actually didn't believe Liu Hui's words in his heart.
Zhou Cheng was able to borrow the power of stars through the small Zhoutian Star Sword Formation. If all the stars outside the sky are fake, where does the power come from?
However, Liu Hui's appearance made Zhou Cheng feel inexplicably convinced. This feeling was very contradictory, making Zhou Cheng himself unaware of how to judge.
"This matter is a long story. If you are interested, you might as well come to my residence. Five miles west of Luoyang City, there is an old locust tree in front of the gate, which is my residence. I still have the important work to do, but I don't have the time to explain it in detail to you." Liu Hui didn't actually think that Zhou Cheng would believe his words, because he had told many people about this, but people in the world regarded him as a madman.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb Mr. Liu anymore. I'll say goodbye." Zhou Cheng bowed and said without continuing to stay.
He thought this Liu Hui was a little abnormal, maybe he was really a lunatic.
Zhou Cheng quickly left Daimeishan, and Liu Hui seemed to have forgotten Zhou Cheng. He sat upright in the place where Zhou Cheng was standing just now, closing his eyes as if he was experiencing something carefully.
No one knew that there was Liu Hui, a person like Daimei Mountain. As the sun set, people left Daimei Mountain one after another, and only Liu Hui was still sitting on the huge rock on the platform.
As night fell, stars gradually appeared in the sky. Liu Hui then opened his eyes and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Soon, in Liu Hui's eyes, the stars began to operate on their own. Without the help of the armillary sphere, Liu Hui directly began to visualize the changes of the stars with his powerful deduction ability.
As Liu Hui's deduction continued, his face became more and more complicated.
It seems that when he is in this place, some of the things he deduces are very different from what he calculated in the past, and this new result has given Liu Hui many new understandings.
"So that's it... So that's it... The armillary sphere is so useful... It's a pity that my life is over... It seems that I can only follow the path of a sage, realize the truth in one day, and be reincarnated by the soul..." Liu Hui's eyes gradually stopped working, and he had found the answer he wanted.
If someone else is here at this moment, he will definitely think he is a madman when he hears Liu Hui's words.
One day, one can realize the Tao and achieve the soul. This is the same as the so-called Buddhahood in Buddhism. It is just that people often hear people say it, but no one can really do it.
After Zhou Cheng returned home, he temporarily forgot about the crazy old man Liu Hui and had no intention of actually going to Liu Hui's residence.
In the following days, Zhou Cheng played with Zhou Lan for several days, and then planned to go into seclusion again.
Although he could no longer make his way through retreat, and even Liuli Yu's body could not go further without the integration of new relics, he still chose to retreat.
Because Zhou Cheng felt that the time for retreat would pass very quickly, and it would take several months to enter into meditation at one time. Perhaps the next time when I opened my eyes, Gailiniang had already appeared outside the house. This was Zhou Cheng's most real expectation, and the ten-year agreement left less and less time!
He was afraid of the arrival of the ten-year period, but he also wanted to pass faster.
Zhou Cheng closed his eyes slightly, his mind was completely calm, and he was about to enter into meditation again.
But at this moment, the words of the crazy old man Liu Hui on Daimei Mountain suddenly appeared in Zhou Cheng's mind.
"The sun, moon and stars above the head are all fake...The sun, moon and stars above the head are all fake..."
This sentence keeps appearing, bothering Zhou Cheng like a spell.
"Hu..." After a long time, Zhou Cheng let out a breath, suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead was covered with sweat.
This is Zhou Cheng’s first failure to enter into meditation, and there are even some signs of being possessed by the devil.
"Five miles west of the city, under the old locust tree... It seems that there is only one trip!" Zhou Cheng slowly stood up and silently recited in his heart.
.........
In the Wuding Mountains in Miaojiang, in ancient ruins.
Gailiniang was still constantly looking at the scene in the Five-legged Cauldron.
She didn't know that six years had passed outside. In the past six years, she saw more and more pictures. Her cultivation level was exhausted again and again, and she recovered from the process of absorbing the five-color divine light again and again, and was almost approaching the Taoist realm of the Taoist primordial spirit.
Even the medicinal power of the "Length-Extended Herb" remaining in her body is being refined in a wonderful way.
The rapid and diligent practice of the Tao, coupled with the refining of the longevity grass, was enough to make Gailini very happy, but she couldn't be happy at all, but instead was filled with endless sorrow...
The picture of the Five-legged Cauldron becomes more and more tragic as it goes back. Gailiniang has seen the destruction of the world. The peerless female fairy killed the divine turtle that had followed her forever, and used the foot of the divine turtle to turn into a pillar of heaven to support the sky.
The helplessness and sorrow of killing the closest relatives with his own hands made Gailiniang, the bystander, feel very sad.
And all this seems to be just the beginning, because Gailin is still constantly seeing many new scenes.
In the next scene, the peerless female fairy jumped into the five-legged cauldron after killing her close relative, and the function of the five-legged cauldron is to refine the body of this peerless female fairy.
During the refining process, the body of the peerless female fairy continued to melt into five-color mud. Her body melted and rolled in the cauldron, and part of the mud was vaporized, forming the remaining five-color divine light in the space.
The scene behind had not yet appeared. Gailiniang endured the sadness, exhausted again and again, and repeatedly looked at the helpless and sad scenes. The feeling was like watching her mother die again and again.
