Enlightenment is important in the heart. Perhaps people in the world will rarely get a glimpse of its true face after studying it for hundreds of years, but some people only need a short moment to see its flowery smile. The old man who didn't know who he was was obviously the former; the young man who smiled and said nothing as he looked at his brother's back as he turned away was the latter. The young man finally knows who he is, what "nothing" is, and why "nothing" becomes "something" when "I" appears. However, some realizations can only be felt in the heart. If you want to express them in words, it will not be beautiful.
The old man wanted to understand but couldn't, but the young man's accidental glance revealed the truth. It must be said that the young man's luck was really good. Just looking at the young man's gainful expression, the old man knew that a huge change was about to occur. So he waved his hands away from the memory and asked the young man: "Baby, I don't know what you saw. Can you tell me something like this, maybe it will be of some help."
"I saw my brothers. One told me to get a wife quickly, and the other told me to remember to eat delicious food."
The young man said such a meaningless sentence, and then nothing more happened. The old man was stunned and asked further: "Did your brother say anything else about who you are?"
"They don't know who I am. In fact, they also want to know who I am." The words of Liu Dabiao and A Yu rang in his ears, and the young man felt warm in his heart. "But no matter who I am, as long as I am me, they will He is still my brother, in this life and in the next life!¡±
"Hehehehe, hahahahahaha! Okay, wonderful, no matter who I am, I am me." The old man suddenly became very happy after listening to the young man's words and kept laughing, "Hahahahaha! Okay, okay, okay, Baby, I am convinced by you. I have been here for more than a hundred years, and I have tried my best to figure out 'who am I'. I guess I have reached a dead end, and I have never thought about 'I am who I am'. ', good, good, what a 'I am me'! Hahahahahaha!"
The old man laughed crazily and kept repeating the boy's words. The joy of enlightenment instantly filled the whole world. With the old man's laughter, the forest disappeared, the Heshen Lake disappeared, the battlefield disappeared, and the boy's memory also disappeared. An old man, a young man, a silver fox, returned to the thick darkness. The strange thing is that the old man kept smiling, and the darkness that was originally so deep gradually dispersed and became lighter. The black turned into gray, and then became as silver as the fur of a silver fox. Finally, everything disappeared and only white light surrounded him.
When the soft light shone on the old man's face full of vicissitudes of life, the laughter finally stopped. The old man looked at the young man, stretched out his palm towards the light in front of him and said: "This should be 'you', baby, what did you find?" "
The young man looked around carefully and said in confusion: "There is nothing here except light. 'Nothing' is the opposite of it. There is nothing but darkness."
Listening to the young man's question, the old man was obviously very satisfied and said with a smile: "Baby, do you know that 'nothing' and 'you' are mutually opposite, accompanying and repelling each other? 'Nothing' is darkness, and 'you' is light. Maybe You think the two are very similar, but they are fundamentally different. Do you know where they are?"
It¡¯s not just once or twice that he has interacted with the old man. The young man knows that when the old man asks himself a question with a smile, he usually has a good answer in his mind, so if he listens, he will get the answer. Sure enough, the old man did not wait for the young man's answer, and continued talking to himself: "'No' means nothing but darkness, and 'there' has one thing besides light, and that is the way out!" As he said that, the old man said with the same words. The fingers of the footsteps of time point forward.
There is a future there, and everything that the young man hopes for, pursues, and longs for. Taking a step forward, the young man may leave this dreamlike and illusory wonderland; the young man will definitely leave, because there are some things that only he can do. , but the young man was not in a hurry to leave at this time, because the exit was right there, and it was not too late to leave after clarifying his confusion.
"May I ask the old man, why are you trapped here?" The young man knew that in addition to that ridiculous-sounding question, the old man must be hiding something. What he did not say might be able to untie the knot in the young man's heart. "So As you said, after wandering in 'nothingness' for so many years, why can't you reach that point of light?"
After hearing this, the old man fell into deep thought. After a long time, he replied: "It is that light that makes nothing come from nothing; because of that light, nothing can give birth to something. It is not that I really have no way to get out. , so what if I just go out? Once I go out, can I know who I am? Baby, only in the eyes of your brothers and relatives, and in your own memory, can you know who you are. I have forgotten too many things, I have lost too much, so even if I go out, I still won¡¯t know who I am. Understand, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t, but that I don¡¯t want to; it¡¯s that I don¡¯t have to, but that I don¡¯t want to"
The old man's expression gradually became a little painful, and his voice gradually became a little mixed.??Clear, but I can still understand: "I once thought that a man would become immortal if he conquered the world; I once thought that fighting side by side with my brothers was a kind of happiness. I left with my brother and a knife. I thought I was looking for something. But when I got it, I realized that everything was just a dream. I no longer knew who I was. My brother left and my memory gradually disappeared. I didn¡¯t know any other way to prove that I was. Me. All this is like that light in the darkness, which can be seen but hard to touch. Once touched, 'nothing' becomes 'something'."
The young man seemed to understand a little bit, but it was still very vague. The old man always refuses to explain directly. He must describe it in obscure and unheard words, so the result can only be understood. One thing that can be seen is that the old man deeply regrets what he has done. It is this lingering regret that makes the old man gradually lose himself and can only face the only thing in the endless darkness. A little bit of light struggled.
The young man really couldn¡¯t imagine how the old man spent these years in the oppressive darkness full of despair with only the bloody memory remaining. It won't be very happy, so why not take this opportunity to return to the bright world?
"Old man, come with me," the young man said, stretching out his hand to support the waning old man. If he hadn't been here for many years, he might have been living under the same roof for four generations.
The old man shook his head and avoided it. His figure gradually blurred, but the old voice was still clear: "Baby, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't leave." The old man said, picking up the still sleeping silver fox and handing it to the young man. In front of him, he continued: "A silver fox looking for a partner may be the only one in the world. You can take it away."
At this time, the young man noticed that the silver fox in the old man's arms was not big, and looked like a lazy kitten when sleeping. But why take it with you? Before the young man could ask, the old man spoke: "Some things are difficult to explain clearly. I have my reasons for staying. And you have accepted Silver Fox's heart. This is also an indisputable fact, so take him with you." It¡¯s your duty to leave!¡±
Leaving behind undoubted words, he placed the silver fox in the boy's arms, and the old man disappeared. The young man knew that the old man must be nearby, so he asked loudly: "Old man, how should I call you next time we meet?"
"Do you still want to come see me? Your doll is really interesting. What is your name?"
"My name is Wanqi Tianyin."
"Are you from the Wanqi Department? Hahahahahaha, it seems that I am really destined to you. If you really want to know, just wait until the fox wakes up and ask yourself. You have been in the dark for too long, and I have been in a hurry for a while. It¡¯s really hard to adapt to this light. It seems that life won¡¯t be boring in the future, hahahahahaha¡¡± The voice gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
The young man knew that the old man had left. He came unexpectedly and left suddenly. He was really an eccentric old man. I can only wish him all the best in the future. The young man held the very light silver fox and walked into the light step by step, towards the exit of "you". The moment you leave "being", everything disappears.
But the young man¡¯s heart kept churning. At this moment, the memory of the silver fox, the old man¡¯s lost memory, and many indistinguishable memories merged into the young man¡¯s heart like a rushing river. Scenes of complex, trivial and delicate scenes flashed before the young man's eyes, seeming to be telling something.
It became lighter and fainter and disappeared. The young man felt that his body was getting stiffer and stiffer, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and sleepiness and tiredness were constantly rising. In this dreamlike place, together with the silver fox, the young man fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright and the boy was lying peacefully on the comfortable bed. Here, where? I should have fallen into the Lengshui River, but my heart was pierced by a black tiger's knife. Why, why am I still alive and well? Maybe the old man sent me back. Where did the silver fox go? The young man felt a little dizzy, and his body was still too heavy to move.
So, just like that, on this pleasant sunny day with light wind and clear clouds, the young man once again fell into a deep sleep and continued the journey in his dream, exactly:
The autumn wind blows, and the young man is resting.
Only the cold river water flows eastward without saying a word.
When the young man wakes up again, he will definitely find that many things and people have changed, and even the young man himself has undergone tremendous changes; when the young man wakes up again, he will definitely know that these changes are natural for him. I just don¡¯t know if he can bear the price he pays for change; when the young man wakes up again, he will definitely understand that his destiny, his era, and his history have all quietly embarked on a journey ¡
