You always think things are not what you think they are. One day you will understand that this world is not what you imagined. The world always operates according to its own rules and will not change for anyone. You can only adapt to this world, no matter how great you are.
No matter how small you are, you cannot escape the rules of this event. Of course, unless you don't want to live, the laws of this world will not suit you or restrain you…
But who doesn't want to live a good life? Who doesn't want to live like a human? People constantly strive to become very suitable for this world, to the point of grinding off their sharp edges and becoming smooth.
Sighing, he naturally knew what the woman in front of him was thinking, but he could not give her what she wanted. In fact, it was very likely that he and Su Muxian had reached the point of strangers. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Once upon a time, he had also thought of having many wives and concubines, with mountains of gold and silver. But one day, he suddenly embarked on the path of cultivation, forcing him to abandon his family and sever worldly ties.
To cultivate, one must sever these relationships. Otherwise, if the heart has attachments, one cannot walk smoothly, and will eventually become very desolate.
Ye Tiancheng did not want to live such a simple and joyless life. Time flowed by relentlessly. As they passed through a narrow passage and reached a room, the room lit up. The layout of this room was very meticulous, resembling the structure of a modern spaceship cabin. Many doors were sealed watertight, and the high-pressure airflow inside was completely in a vacuum, creating a state of floating.
Ye Tiancheng asked Su Muxian in surprise, "What is this place? It feels like an alien world!"
"Actually, I don't know either. It's probably because a flying method was used. This stone is a meteorite from outer space over a thousand years ago. This meteorite can counteract all gravity. It's not a vacuum world as you imagine. It's because this stone can generate a counteracting force, making Earth's gravity disappear. I don't know the specific operating principle, I just know this much," she said.
As she spoke, she looked at him with a helpless expression. Seeing her like this, Ye Tiancheng no longer wanted to ask anything. There are many things that, even if you can find out why, it is already meaningless.
If something becomes meaningless, pursuing it further is also meaningless. For the sake of something very meaningful, constantly pursuing that meaningless thing.
You will live a very difficult life. Often, people pursue meaningless things, constantly making themselves feel great.
When all time is ignored due to such an atmosphere, you will feel as if you are being suspended. Because your mind is chaotic, you lack feelings and happiness towards this world. You are like a person living in a vacuum, with no happiness at all.
Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but laugh at this state. In fact, in many ways, he was also in such a desolate state. When everything is done simply and realistically, people become very accepting.
At least by learning to appreciate others' success, you will gain their respect. Why do people live? It is because they want to constantly pursue envious glances from others. Living in the envious gaze of others makes them feel their existence.
When a person is forgotten by others, it is equivalent to death. Therefore, people must constantly reproduce, allowing their descendants to be their continuation.
Once their descendants forget them, the meaning and value of their existence will vanish. This theory may seem ridiculous, but it truly represents the human heart. Humans are such strange and hopelessly flawed animals. Ye Tiancheng constantly pursued that success, but later found himself completely unable to.
He later discovered that he was completely unable to pursue such a thing. His entire being felt as if it had been emptied.
There was nothing that could make him feel happy. Many things would always disappear. When fate cycles and everything cycles, you will feel that those things will fill you with fear.
Ye Tiancheng constantly pursued that inexplicable thing.
When this thing causes him to be in a state of oblivion, he will inexplicably understand too many things he cannot understand.
"Will you really forget me?" Su Muxian suddenly turned to look at Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, but he thought he shouldn't say such things too simply and directly, as it would make her sad. So he smiled and said to Su Muxian, "How could I forget you? Even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, I will remember you. Perhaps we may not be together, but our encounter will become a beautiful memory."
"Is it just a beautiful memory?"
"Naturally, personal feelings are too complex to express simply. You might not believe it if I say it too simply, and it's hard to express in words if I say it too complexly. So, I'll just tell you simply: I will remember you, and that's all."
Ye Tiancheng said to Su Muxian with shock. He didn't want to deceive anyone; he thought what he thought. Perhaps saying it at this moment would be too heartbreaking, but what of it? One must go through these things. No matter how you escape, the method you ultimately choose will still hurt others. It's all harm, so why hide? Fortunately, when you can say it, tell the other person completely.
Su Muxian heard these heart-wrenching words and fell silent, not knowing what to say. People always feel as if they have lost their souls.
Perhaps such words can be forgiven when spoken by others, but Ye Tiancheng's words would absolutely not be forgiven by the Su family. After all, Su Tiancheng's sister was his precious pearl, his beloved. He had watched her grow up and doted on her, never allowing anyone to hurt her. Therefore, at this moment, Su Tiancheng looked at Ye Tiancheng with extreme disgust.
Ye Tiancheng wished he could kick him away, but his family needed his support, so he dared not show his anger. As a brother, he naturally loved his sister. Whether out of selfishness, kinship, or simply disapproval of Ye Tiancheng's behavior, everyone felt he was a scumbag.
To abandon such a good woman and not cherish her, but instead to cultivate immortality and practice swordsmanship, living a life incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Some people always think they can see through everything, but when they truly find themselves on this path, they are very laughable, and they are truly like great fools.
Not cherishing the best things that were once right in front of them. When they miss them, they desperately want to get them back, not knowing that what has been missed cannot be returned.
After all, time cannot flow backward. What has passed is forever gone. One can only live in regret and pain. Life, in essence, is sometimes like a cup of bitter wine.
When you truly understand these things, too many things have already been lost, and it is even more impossible to retrieve them.
Ye Tiancheng did not want to get anything back. He knew that what he had missed might never be recovered in his lifetime. Since it was something that could not be recovered, he might as well understand these things thoroughly. Time passes and never returns. Many missed things are forever lost as if they were lost.
The depression and pain in Ye Tiancheng's heart could not be described in words. The restless emotions in his heart would constantly torment his most sincere thoughts.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Su Tiancheng and say to him.
"What I don't understand, you might understand. But what I understand, you might not. People are constantly making mistakes, which is why people live such conflicted and painful lives."
"So you use this reasoning to gloss over your mistakes and find a reason to live with peace of mind, thereby ignoring the people around you? Are the people around you merely air? People are not plants or trees; how can they be without emotion? Consider from others' perspectives, what kind of painful life they will live in the future. Do you think you can cultivate and seek enlightenment with peace of mind by severing your connection with this world?"
"I have already considered these matters. It is not surprising. Ascetics must give up many beautiful things to gain something. This world is just like that. Whether you are willing or not, your choices will always hurt some people. What can I do?"
Honestly, from a certain perspective, Ye Tiancheng is a scumbag, and a very scummy man at that. What's even more incomprehensible is why he would rather be this kind of man than cherish a beauty like jade. Is it that he doesn't envy mandarin ducks but only immortals?
Of course, others' thoughts are just their inner intuition. Many people don't understand. Why must I be like others? Many things seem to have little to do with me, but in reality, they are very related.
Some things seem to have no connection with me at all, but in reality, they are very related. In the pursuit, one constantly loses. Humans are truly strange and disgusting animals. Ye Tiancheng is also disgusted with himself.
As a person, how can one not leave regrets in this world? When you choose a life, you naturally choose troubles. Nothing is perfect. There is no perfect solution. If there were a perfect solution in this world, one that satisfied both Buddha and lover, such a method simply does not exist. You cannot have both the bear's paw and the fish.
