Renegade Immortal

Looking at the birds that were becoming more and more peaceful in the sky, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at the dead volcano. After a long, long time, he turned around and walked slowly with old steps.

This day was June of the 19th year when he left the Kingdom of Zhao.

It was also the fifty-seventh year that he fell into a drunken dream after two glasses of wine at the Guandao Inn.

This year, Wang Lin was not yet eighty.

In addition to Huo Burning Country, there are other countries on this continent, but Wang Lin did not go there. Huo Burning Country was the last place he visited.

Here, outside the sect where Li Muwan belongs, in a mountain, there is a dilapidated house. It was originally built by the mountain guard at an unknown age, but now it is no longer inhabited.

Wang Lin then lived here.

From this position, he could see the mountain gate where Li Muwan was in the distance, and he could feel Li Muwan's presence.

"What is cause and effect? ​​Don't think about it. Don't ponder it. Look at the sunrise and sunset, the rain and snow falling, and the change of seasons. Don't care whether it's true or false. Don't care about the confusion between life and death. It's just that Go spend the rest of your life in silence..."

At the beginning of the day and at sunset, whether the sun rises or the sun sets, there is always an old figure sitting on the big blue stone on the mountain over there, silently looking at the mountains in the distance.

"For all cause and effect in the world, if you say it is a cause, it is a cause. If you say it is an effect, it is an effect... Why be persistent, why bother looking for a ghost..." Wang Lin looked calm, at that moment Year after year, his figure seems to be eternity, sitting there, looking at the mountains in front of him.

He did not go to eat food, there was no food, he forgot about hunger, forgot about everything.

Wang Lin looked at the heaven and the earth, his smile revealed a meaning that the world could not fathom. "During this year, he saw many monks flying out of the sect in the distance, and among these monks was Li Muwan.

"This world", the starry sky, and all of this are formed by the condensation of causes and conditions. This is the origin..." Wang Lin smiled, and the days were like years, and the years were like dreams.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was seven years." In these seven years, Wang Linming realized a lot, and he understood the world on the bluestone.

In the past seven years, Li Muwan's sect naturally discovered Wang Lin. Slowly, other sect leaders arrived. After seeing Wang Lin's current state and his words to himself, they all became moved.

gradually,

On this mountain, beside the bluestone, Wang Lin is no longer alone." Instead, around him, there are old men and monks sitting cross-legged.

But no one of the monks who came here ever left.

They surrounded Wang Lin calmly, as if hearing the Tao.

Year after year, more monks seemed to be filled with a call in their hearts. From the Burning Fire Country, from all directions, from the Cultivation Kingdom here and there, one by one cultivation sects came here.

Among these monks, "there are those who have not yet established the foundation, and there are those who have achieved infant transformation." There is even one person who came through the air, and his cultivation level has reached the peak. It's just that no matter what kind of cultivation, it doesn't exist on this mountain or in the eyes of Wang Lin sitting on the blue stone.

No matter what level of cultivation, there is only one place to stay in this mountain, no more, no less, no fighting, no fighting, just sitting there silently, listening to Wang Lin's words that may only be spoken once a year.

When Wang Lin didn't speak, they seemed to be in trance, as if there was an invisible force here, carrying their thoughts, pursuing a kind of understanding of heaven and earth.

"Causes and conditions come together, and eventually they become effects. This is cause and effect. In the past few decades of searching and understanding, I have understood that there is actually something between the cause and the effect. This thing, It's fate.

If there is no fate, there is no cause and effect. "With that indescribable smile on his face, Wang Lin spoke again this year.

On this mountain, more and more monks were sitting cross-legged. In the end, there was no room even at the foot of the mountain. The mountain surrounding Wang Lin was filled with monks sitting cross-legged for dozens of miles.

In the past few years, almost all the monks on this continent came here one by one in search of that strange feeling. Slowly, within a radius of hundreds of miles, there were countless monks at a glance. They sat there, facing the king. Lin, like worship.

Gradually, more monks came across the sea from other continents, or came in teleportation arrays. Among them were Niantian and Duntian of the Soul Refining Sect, and a large number of disciples of the Soul Refining Sect.

There were also Xueyu cultivators, led by the indifferent woman, who came here in search of that feeling, and silently crossed their legs in one place, listening to the teachings.

In the arms of that indifferent woman, there was already a baby girl who seemed to never grow up.

The Four Kingdoms Alliance, Zhou Wutai, and the familiar faces in Wang Lin's dream also arrived one by one.

Skylark, still looking that slovenly, sat on the ground far away.

Wait, wait, even Teng Huayuan, Huanglong Zhenren, Xu Fei, Zhou Rui, and even Wang Zhuo and others appeared in the distance at some point, looking at Wang Lin on the bluestone on the top of the mountain in front of him. , sitting cross-legged.

Until the end, even Suzakuzi came out of the sky, stayed silent above Wang Lin for a long time, walked to an open space, and sat down.

"Liu Mei and I were able to meet together and form a causal relationship because of this fate..."

"The reason why the Soul Refining Sect and I are connected is also due to fate."

"Whether it's a red butterfly or everything in the world, this is the cause and effect. Even in this dream world, it's the same, fate, fate, fate..."

"This fate is an external force. Due to its change, there is a cause. After the two are combined, the effect appears.

Just like a man and a woman, they will have children after they get together. The man and woman are the cause. They come together under fate, and the child born is the result. "Wang Lin smiled and sighed lightly.

From what he could see at this moment, a person walked out of the sect in the mountain. This person still looked the same as before, wearing white clothes, a green silk shawl, and a gentle look on his face. He was none other than Li Muwan.

"Come on..." Wang Lin looked even older, but there was an aura like heaven and earth coming out of him, as if he had become heaven and earth in the past few years.

Stretching out his right hand and calling to Li Muwan, Wang Lin's eyes showed softness, and even his voice contained a sense of longing.

Li Muwan looked confused, but there was a feeling that she couldn't describe in her heart, which made her feel that Wang Lin was very familiar, very familiar. This familiarity seemed to be engraved in her soul and bones. Within reincarnation.

Even if she is reincarnated thousands of times, even if she drinks thousands of mouthfuls of Meng Po soup, she will never forget it! However, there was a trace like a seal in her thoughts, preventing her from remembering all this, as if to cut her off from him.

Unknowingly, she walked to Wang Lin's side, was held by Wang Lin's hand, and sat next to him. Together with him, she sat on the bluestone under the gaze of countless monks from hundreds of miles around.

"It's just that dependent origination and cause and effect will eventually disappear in the world. This is the emptiness of nature. The reason why it is called disappearance is because there is existence first. Without existence, there is no disappearance. If there is no disappearance, it is emptiness of nature... and I am Understand, the end of a certain cause and effect.

But whether it is knotted or not, whether it exists or not, it is not the end, but the emptiness..."

Wang Lin smiled and touched Li Muwan's eyebrow with his left hand.

There seemed to be no power under this finger, but the moment it fell, the seal that was stopping her in Li Muwan's thoughts suddenly collapsed, making Li Muwan tremble and become the number one in this organized world. A person with awakened memories.

"Wang Lin...*..." Li Muwan's eyes were filled with water vapor, and two lines of tears fell down. She looked at Wang Lin's old face in a daze, raised her hand and touched it gently, and shed more tears.

But there was a sense of happiness and warmth in those tears. He didn't care about Wang Lin's age and hugged him tightly.

"I don't exist, all of this doesn't exist, that's why there is the word disappear... This contains truth and falsehood, life and death...

Cause and effect, truth and falsehood, life and death, in fact, are all emptiness of dependent origin... And the next sentence, if I say it, this dream knot..." Wang Lin looked at Li Muwan and spoke softly.

This dream is sleepless. It has been more than sixty years since the young man from Zhao State got drunk in the inn.

Outside this bluestone, under this mountain peak, within hundreds or even thousands of miles of radius, there are more and more monks, until eventually, everyone who meets Wang Lin even once in a dream will all After appearing, they sat there quietly, silently looking at the bluestone on the top of the mountain and the two people on the stone.

Time seemed to last forever. I don’t know how long it had passed. Wang Lin held Li Muwan in his arms, and they sat there, watching the sunrise and sunset together, and counting the years together.

"Cause and effect are endless. It is originally empty... Cause and effect is cause and effect. The condensed origin and scattered nature are empty..." Wang Lin's voice echoed in the heaven and earth, turning into countless catkins. These catkins came from nowhere. Come, but know where to go.

They were floating in the sky, flying slowly, densely packed, falling downwards, and landing on every monk within a radius of thousands of miles, as if they had found a record of their life.

Two catkins stuck together slowly fell in front of Wang Lin and Li Muwan. The way they were stuck together was like they were holding hands and would never be separated.

"That day, you looked at me and closed my eyes. Your sad look was imprinted in my heart the moment I closed my eyes...

In this dream, I want to accompany you, watch you leave, watch you wake up... I am still in the dream, waiting for you..." Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin, her eyes revealed tenderness like water, and touched her Looking at Wang Lin's wrinkled face, he murmured softly.
