The old man walked out of the hiding room. Qiu stayed here for a long time, and finally said goodbye to the old man. He said that he would continue to travel around the world. He said that the old man in front of him was like the world.

When there is chaos, there is the first beacon, so stay still.

Only when you are calm can you calm your heart and all the turmoil in the world.

But he is different.

His way is to wander and open up new paths.

Therefore, we cannot stop. In this life, this road full of struggle and exploration will be given a relaxed and freehand name by future generations, called "Traveling around the world." When he met this Master for the last time in his life, Qiu

Understand the Master’s grand ambition.

"Do you want to create a prosperous spring and Autumn period for the common people?"

Qiu said goodbye to this place. He later wrote the stories of these heydays into a classic, just using the name "Spring and Autumn". Zhuang Zhou personally bid farewell to Qiu and left here. He stood on top of the city and looked at the people who came from him.

When we met for the first time, the man who was not quite suitable for fate left.

Looking at his back, he is still so determined.

Is there anyone in this world who is more persistent and determined than him?

Zhuang Zhou turned around and saw the white-haired old man.

He no longer has the realm of a cultivator and is old. Even if he is as carefree and carefree as Zhuang Zhou, there is a trace of sadness in his eyes, but this sadness quickly disappears and he is still just loud.

Smiling, carefree and at ease, he didn't seem to notice that this old guy had become this old.

Still treating him as normal.

When he accompanied the old man to leave here, he glanced around and saw that under the influence of human destiny, Zhuang Zhou's cultivation time was not as powerful as those of the old immortals, but he was sharp and carefree.

I saw a man among the crowd and felt a trace of Buddhist charm in him.

Zhuang Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, then raised his sword to seek bad luck on this man, but was stopped by the old master.

Zhuang Zhou said: "There must be something wrong with him."

"If you have a clear conscience, why should you cover up the traces of practicing Buddhism on your body?"

"Old man, you'd better let go and let me catch him!"

The old man just shook his head and said: "Let him go." His eyes were gentle and calm, as vast as the mysterious water of the North Sea, unfathomable and bottomless, and he allowed the monk to go away with unparalleled ecstasy.

, Zhuang Zhou never intercepted again.

This old man went to a village to fulfill an agreement.

Although Zhuang Zhou said casually on the surface, he still prepared the carriage and horses very seriously. He put many layers of soft cushions inside the carriage. He waved his whip himself and drove the carriage quickly and steadily. After he arrived, the original village

, after these decades, it has developed into a very prosperous town.

Not far away is the inn, there is a flat road, and there are already a lot of people coming and going. Now everyone has a certain level of cultivation. Although having cultivation level does not mean that you can fight, the improvement of basic quality does.

It will bring about a surge in foot strength.

With light and strong steps, a road that seemed too far away and difficult to walk in the 1950s and 1960s has now become somewhat commonplace. You can walk on only your feet without relying on a carriage or horse. It was difficult to cross in the past.

The roads and travel have become much simpler, which has also led to the prosperity of many surrounding places.

After all, the extent to which people can travel freely is to interact with each other. Exchanges between different regions often involve business and cultural integration, which is the basis of prosperity.

Zhuang Zhou took the old man to find his old friend on the roadside.

An old man named [Ming].

Yes, the old man - he is clearly in his fifties, but he does not look much younger than Qi Wuzhuo at this moment. Although everyone is able to move Qi now, even if he practices Taoism skills, he still needs [Three Talents Completeness]

】Only those who have laid a foundation of this depth can prolong life. Those who do not practice Taoism, or in other words, although they practice Taoism, they have not practiced those techniques that extend lifespan.

An innate Qi is considered to be more than two hundred years old.

The innate Qi is already only one in a thousand. Therefore, although life span is long, it has not completely skyrocketed.

If you don't cultivate enough, you will eventually age slowly.

as well as--

The world is complicated, with grudges and hatreds, eight kinds of suffering in the world, and many separations.

These sad and depressing things always make people look much older than their original state. [Ming] seemed to have passed for a while before he recognized that this old man was the one his parents said he was born in.

The benefactor who saved his life.

As we age, it is rare to find people we know well.

To be able to meet such an old friend, in this era and at this age.

This is already an extremely gratifying thing!

So he quickly invited Qi Wuzhu and Zhuang Zhou back to his home. It was still the same yard, and the layout was still the same as before, but it was different from the bustle Qi Wuzhu saw at that time. There was no Zuo who came to help in this yard.

The neighbors, without his parents who were so happy when he got married, were filled with joy on the ground.

As a result, this courtyard actually gave people a great feeling of emptiness.

"Hehe, no guests have come for a long time, it's a bit chaotic. Don't blame me, don't blame me."

[Ming] He washed the cups, then poured tea and came to entertain the guests. At that table, Qi Wuhuo saw his life, saw him when he was young, saw him in the prime of life, and now also saw him as an old man.

In [Ming]'s eyes, the old man in front of him is naturally more senile.

The gray-haired old man asked: "Where are your parents?"

[Ming] replied: "He has passed away."

"Where is your wife?"

"Eight years ago, the illness was difficult to cure. Although I had the protection of Qi and lived for a few more years, I still couldn't survive the winter three years ago and passed away. My two sons got married, but

They are all gone and can only come back during the holidays. My daughter is married and her life is pretty good."

The old man asked: "How do you feel about your life?"

[Ming] was silent for a long time and replied: "I feel a little lonely. When my parents were here, I was running around for a living and couldn't fulfill my filial piety well. We worked hard and raised the children, but finally we can relax.

When I finally breathed my last, my wife passed away, and my children all became useful and talented. During good times, they lived a better life than we did, but they rarely came back to see me."

"Tell me, are what I have experienced good or bad?"

He asked the old man in front of him.

The old man smiled gently and did not answer. He just said: "This question can only be answered by yourself if you go to the end. I am just a passerby passing by in your life, right?" After finishing the cup of tea, the pharmacist

The reincarnation of Liuli Buddha has also seen some old people farewell to the guests.

The old man asked: "Where are your Buddhist beads?"

Buddha beads?

[Ming] was in a daze for a long time, seeming to be thinking and recalling, and then replied: "I don't remember, I just have a vague impression that more than ten years ago, or more than twenty years ago, my little boy

My son liked to play with Buddhist beads, but gradually, life became too busy, he grew up, and his schoolwork became heavier."

"I don't know which day I was too busy, so I just threw it away and put it on the table."

"After that, I can't find it anymore."

Qi Wuhuo said goodbye and [Ming] sent him out, shouting: "Taoist, Taoist!"

"Seventeen years later, will you come back and ask me again?"

The Taoist paused, turned around, and said gently: "Yes."

"If I can't come, someone else will come to see you."

"But, you have to answer that question yourself."

"What?"

[Ming] At this time, he didn't understand. He just saw a trace of gentleness and compassion in the old man's eyes under the sunshine, so he nodded seriously and said: "I will!"

Zhuang Zhou drove the carriage and led the old Taoist forward, looking towards the direction of the capital.

Zhuang Zhou seemed to be thinking about something along the way. He didn't say much. He was just thinking about the situation in the world during this period. After Qiu left the capital, he must have become more famous. The current Human Emperor Li Weifeng has been seven years old.

At ten years old, he is already old because he controls the fate of humanity.

An overview of his political life shows that he always had many benevolent policies and was governed by virtue, and his reputation among the people was extremely high. Everyone gradually only praised this benevolent king, and gradually no longer mentioned the mighty king Li Zhai. They all said that the Human Emperor Li Wei

Feng's fame and achievements, as well as his civil and martial arts, are unparalleled throughout history, comparable to those of the ancient holy kings.

When hearing this, the teacher Ming Xin Da Zhen would always sneer, is it him?!

Then the [Uncle Medicine Spirit Master] who always looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist priest will also nod in agreement:

"Just him?!"

Then, the two of them would find an upwind vent to roast chestnuts, pull out the big cattail fan, and let the scent of roasted chestnuts fly into the palace along with the wind in the world, and then they would all touch their hands and laugh——

"I'm so greedy for him!"

"Yes, I'm so greedy for him!"

And the mighty king Li Zhai conquered all directions seventeen years ago and unified the world.

He never looked back to his hometown again.
