Douluo's Way

Chapter 176

"Old man, do you need help?" After saying that, Qian Xuan walked towards the kitchen.

"No, no, it will be ready soon, you guys just wait outside." The old man's voice rang again in the kitchen.

As soon as Qianxuan walked to the door of the kitchen, the old man came out with dishes, "Okay, okay, my kitchen can't accommodate so many of you. If you want to help, just help bring the dishes over."

The old man handed the food in his hand to Qianxuan who was at Qianxuan's door.

"Thank you, old man."

The old man laughed happily and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. My house hasn't been this lively for a long time. I want to thank you all."

In less than a moment, eight different dishes had been brought to the table in the middle house.

Everyone at the dinner table was talking and laughing, and through chatting, Qianxuan also had a deeper understanding of the old man.After dinner, everyone helped the old man clean up together.After tidying up, Zhang Siyi didn't stay any longer, and left after a simple farewell.

As night fell, the old man and Qianxuan were idle in the courtyard.

"Young man, you are not ordinary people at first glance. You must have been born in a wealthy family, but you are different from those arrogant and domineering children of rich families. You give me a feeling of indifference and elegance. I am curious, why did you do so today?" Ask me why I sigh?"

Qian Xuan explained with a smile: "It's just a question."

The old man chuckled and said, "Tao? What is Tao? I haven't heard of it before, can you explain it to me?"

"Tao cannot be expressed in words, and all kinds of human beings contain their own principles, and the Tao is hidden in these principles."

The old man was also very curious about such a theory, and asked, "Have you found your way?"

Qian Xuan shook his head lightly and said: "Never, I started to travel the mainland two years ago. I have been to various places and seen many things, but I still haven't found them."

The old man said with a smile: "Young man, I don't know what Tao you are looking for? Since you said that you have been traveling in the mainland for two years and have seen the prosperity and indifference of this world, why don't you stop and be quiet?" Ask yourself, what exactly are you after?"

Qian Xuan was taken aback, and muttered to himself: "Ask, should I ask my heart first?"

Qianxuan's whole body was suddenly immersed, as if he had an epiphany.

The old man looked at Qianxuan, and seemed to feel that Qianxuan in front of him was a different person.

It was just at that moment that Qian Xuan finally understood what his Dao was.

There are tens of thousands of ways in the world, and which one belongs to him, Qianxuan doesn't know, what is the way, Qianxuan still doesn't know.

But Qianxuan knew what he was looking for, what he expected, and what he wanted to protect. All these pursuits came from his heart.

As a human being in two lifetimes, the Dao is with me, what Qianxuan wants to walk is the Dao, I want this day to exist, that day must not be without, I want this life to live, then this life must not die.As a result of thoughts, everything arises and nothing disappears. This is Qianxuan's original way!

Qianxuan knew that the path he had chosen was extremely difficult, so what if it was difficult, how could he prove the path if he did not prove his original intention?

God's thoughts reached a consensus at this moment, Qianxuan only felt that a shackle that had been fettered on his body was suddenly lifted, and Ning Xinjing suddenly became enlightened.

Qianxuan slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "Old man, I have been educated, may I tell you your story?"

In the past, Qianxuan regarded herself as an ordinary person to know more people, to witness the most essential world, and to find the way of this world.

But today, Qianxuan discovered that the true Dao can only be seen and realized with one's own heart, and only when one sees the world with one's heart can one truly discover and understand the world.

Everyone has a different experience, and everyone has a different story.Everyone has a shining point in everyone. From others, you can still understand the various states of the world, and you can verify your own way.

But today, Qian Xuan has truly embarked on the road.

The long road is long, and the journey of enlightenment is for the sake of Taoism!

……

The old man lay on the chair, looked at the sky, and said softly: "My story? My story is a bit long. If you want to listen, then I will tell you.

64 years ago, I was a ten-year-old ignorant boy..."

Qianxuan quietly listened to the old man's narration, the ignorant first acquaintance with his dead wife, then the hard pursuit, and then the sweet love and marriage.

The tired and full life after marriage, the two also had the crystallization of love, watching the lovely son grow up, watching the son marry the hardworking daughter-in-law, and welcoming the arrival of the grandson, sounds so happy.

It was as if scenes from the past were reappearing in front of the old man's eyes, and the old man's cheeks were full of happy and healthy expressions.

"Until that day, I went to pay homage to my deceased wife as in previous years, and I didn't come back until noon the next day. I never thought that this day's farewell would become a forever farewell.

Looking at Hongfeng Village, which was stained red by maple leaves and blood, I ran towards the village in a panic. I didn't know the whole thing until I met those two boys, Mou Tao and Yang Jie.

Looking at the relatives and friends in the past turned into a pile of loess, the feeling of despair was like a mountain, crushing me to the ground, making me breathless.

If it wasn't for the presence of those two boys, Mou Tao and Yang Jie, maybe I would have accompanied them six years ago.Over the years, I have figured out a lot of things.Although they are gone, they will always live in my heart. "

Speaking of the old man's grief, but more indifferent, even a little relaxed feeling.

"Young man, chatting with you for so long has given me a sense of relief that I haven't seen for a long time. Maybe it's really that their departure has weighed on me for too long. Telling you like this, I let go a lot. , much more comfortable.

I don't know what happened to those two adults?Such a kind-hearted person will definitely be a great strong man in the future. "

The old man chuckled, as if he really let go of his family's departure, and there was more gratitude in his cloudy eyes.

"The cause of tomorrow is the fruit of today. Old man, thank you for your story. Those two adults will naturally know your gratitude."

"Cause? Effect? ​​Young man, your statement is novel. I hope so, old man. I'm tired after talking for a long time. Unlike you young people, I'll go to rest first. Young man, you should also rest earlier. .”

Said the old man got up and walked towards the room.

"Old man, let me help you in." Looking at the bent figure of the old man, he got up and helped the old man walk towards the house.

The old man didn't refuse either, and the old man went back to the house with Qian Xuan's support, and Qian Xuan left after the old man went to bed to rest.

In the courtyard, Qian Xuan was lying on an armchair.

Look at the curved moon in the sky.

Muttering to himself: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult in ancient times!"

Qian Xuan felt something in his heart, but he always felt that something was almost the same, so he finally shook his head.

"Xuan, what's the matter?" Qiu'er came to the side and gently held Qian Xuan's right hand.

"I feel something in my heart, but I feel that there is something wrong. It's okay, sit down, Qiu'er." As he said that, there was an extra chair beside Qian Xuan.

Qiu'er sat down gracefully, and comforted: "Xuan, didn't you say before that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge? Don't worry, maybe the time hasn't come yet."

Qian Xuan smiled lightly and said, "I'm anxious. After hearing one story, there will be another one. The world is still very big."

On Qixi Festival two years ago, Qianxuan also held a grand confession ceremony with Mo Xie and Qiu'er in the mountain and sea world, and after that, the three of them formally confirmed their relationship, and the relationship between the three was also because of this Got a lot closer.

The two lay on the chair, looking at the dark night and the bright moon, quietly listening to the chirping of insects and birds around them, the long night was long, and they had no desire to sleep.

Qiu'er quietly accompanied Qianxuan to appreciate all this.

Late at night, Qiu'er fell asleep, Qianxuan took out the quilt and gently covered Qiu'er.

In this way, the next morning, the rising sun, the first ray of sunlight illuminates the world.

"Are you awake?" Qian Xuan's gentle voice sounded, and the corners of Qiu'er's eyes moved slightly, and she slowly opened them.

"How's your rest?"

"Very comfortable." Qiu'er chuckled, as long as she was beside Qianxuan, Qiu'er would feel extra relaxed and comfortable.

"Let's go, it's rare for that little girl Mo Xie to be so generous."

Mo Xie's angry voice came from inside the room, "Hmph, why am I being stingy!"

As soon as the words were finished, Mo Xie walked out of the house.

Qian Xuan looked surprised, "What? Didn't I just say that Mo Xie was the most generous? Didn't you say it was Qiu'er."

Qiu'er smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes, yes, Xuan Gang is just praising you, Mo Xie."

"Huh!" Mo Xie snorted softly.

"It's good to be young." The old man's chuckle also came from the house, and he walked slowly towards the outside of the house.

"It made your old man laugh."

"No, no, it hasn't been this lively for a long time, but it makes the old man very happy."

At this time, there was a shout from outside the door, "Uncle Wan, are you up yet? Uncle Wan..."

The old man replied: "Come, come."

"It must be Yang Jiemou Tao and his two boys. Every year during the Red Maple Festival, both of them come back to visit me. I will open the door." The old man explained as he walked towards the door.

"Old man, let me go." Saying that, Qian Xuan was one step ahead of the old man to the door, and opened the door from the inside.

"You are?" The two people outside the door are the two soul masters from six years ago. Their cheeks and eyes seem to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes in the past six years, and it seems that they have spent a lot of time on this village.

Qianxuan said indifferently: "It's just a passenger, thanks to the old man's care, I stayed here for one night."

The two soul masters frowned slightly looking at Qianxuan, and there was always an inexplicable sense of familiarity when looking at Qianxuan in front of them, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it before.The two looked at each other, and both could see the doubts in the other, but they walked in without thinking too much.

The soul master on the left asked loudly: "Uncle Wan, long time no see, we two came to see you again. How is your health recently?"

The old man looked at the two of them and replied gently: "It's not like that. You two come to visit me every year, so I'm bothering you."

"Old man, since we have a guest, we won't bother you any more, and we'll leave first. This is my little thought. Drinking it will do a lot of good to your body." Qianxuan didn't know what to say Then there was an extra gourd, and Qian Xuan handed the gourd in his hand to the old man.

The gourd is filled with life spring water. For the old man, the life spring water in this gourd can help him prolong his life for at least one year, because the concentration of life force in it is much higher than that of ordinary life spring water.

"Don't worry about it, welcome to come again next time." The old man knew that Qianxuan and the others did not belong here, so he didn't ask to stay. He shook his hand to express his rejection without even looking at the gourd that Qianxuan handed over.

"Old man, I'll just leave the things here, so don't refuse. We'll leave like this, and you can entertain the guests well. Let's not pass it by now." Qian Xuan flicked his hand lightly, and the gourd in his hand landed safely on the table On, and then ready to turn and leave.

"Okay, I'll see you off." The old man walked forward, ready to see off Qianxuan and others.

"No need, old man, entertain your guests well. We're going to leave after we wander around the village again. I won't bother you old man." Qianxuan chuckled lightly, and stepped forward to stop the old man.

The eyes of the two soul masters looking at Qianxuan were also condensed. Just because Qianxuan threw the gourd just now, they knew that Qianxuan's strength was not simple.

"Uncle Wan, sit down and rest, let us two brothers take them shopping, we will come to see you later."

"Then it's hard work for you two."

After the two soul masters helped the old man aside to rest, they turned around and prepared to take Qianxuan and the others out for a stroll.

Qianxuan did not refuse, Qianxuan has a good impression of these two soul masters, no matter how they behave in the world, they have not changed because of their strength, and they are not attracted by money, they are rare honest people.

"Your face is very familiar, little brother. I don't know what your name is? Have we met somewhere?" Just after leaving the house, one of the soul masters asked.

Qianxuan smiled without saying a word, and did not answer, but said: "The two of you should lead the way. If you are destined to meet next time, I will tell you your name. This trip will be hard for you two."

Although Qianxuan knew the two of them, he didn't know their names, they came and went, and to Qianxuan they were just passing through.

Seeing that Qianxuan was unwilling to answer themselves, the two of them became even more puzzled. The young man in front of them was clearly familiar, but no matter how they thought about it, there was no corresponding face in their minds. , The two did not continue to ask more questions.

Although it was only early in the morning, the Red Maple Village had already started to get bustling. For the annual Red Maple Festival, many villagers in the village had already gotten up and started preparing before dawn.

On the day of the Red Maple Festival, villagers in the village will wear a headband thorned with red maple leaves, representing their memory of the deceased. At noon, the villagers will hold a corresponding memorial ceremony at the square of the stele. There are also performances and various activities that continue until the evening before the entire memorial ceremony ends.

　Originally, there was a chapter of confession, but after writing it, I was embarrassed to look at it, so I deleted it and took it away.Wait for me to study hard and come back when I have a chance.
