Fang Tian remembered a short story he had read in his previous life. Well, a fable-like story. The story was roughly like this:
A man was tricked into buying a bottle of red wine by someone's rhetoric, saying he wanted to experience "fashion and fashion".
When I got home, I found that I didn’t have a bottle opener. How could I put such a delicate red wine on the pot and smash it open? That’s too rude! That’s too blasphemous! That’s too unforgivable!
Therefore, buy a bottle opener.
I bought a high-end and equally fashionable red wine bottle opener, and when I opened the wine, I discovered that it was missing an equally exquisite cup.
Pour such beautiful red wine into a tea cup that still has tea stains?
How can I bear it!
Therefore, I need to buy a wine glass.
I bought a high-end crystal wine glass and poured the red wine into it. I shook it gently and took a sip. It made me feel comfortable and felt really good! But I still feel a little distressed. Mom, the wine glass is actually more expensive than the wine. What a world.
!
But what can be done? Who told this crystal wine glass to be so exquisite and beautiful?
I can only make up my mind, bite the bullet and buy it!
Sipping wine and pacing, the man suddenly realized that he probably needed a chair.
It's not the simple stool or office chair in the room now. He needs a chair that is casual, can be adjusted to different angles to lie on, has armrests on both sides, and preferably has a simple or exquisite pattern.
It would be appropriate to lie down on a chair like that and drink red wine.
So I spent ten times the price of a crystal wine glass to buy such a chair.
It seems that everything is satisfied. This man is lying on a chair, holding a wine glass, shaking it, and sipping gently from time to time. The breeze blows through the window and the sunshine enters the house. The feeling is truly beautiful and wonderful.
But the more I looked at the bed, the more unpleasant it became. The lamp above the bed also looked very old.
Need to change beds!
Need to change the lights!
The bed needs to be big and soft!
The lamp should be big and gorgeous!
In addition to big lights, we also need small lights. Small lights that are smaller than peanuts. Place them in a circle, two or three circles around the house. Well, the lights should be placed around indoor plants and trees. In this way, at night
.Lyning in it with the colored lanterns on and off. Then sipping red wine and admiring the moonlight, it would be wonderful.
These are all done.
All is well, all is wonderful!
But after a few days, this person suddenly, no, this time it was not sudden. It was gradually.
This man gradually discovered that his house was a bit unsuitable. He needed an independent small villa, not this so-called "finely decorated" suite that was "built with all the heart, you deserve it"...
The story ends abruptly here.
When Fang Tian thought about it at this moment, he felt very funny in his heart.
If after this person changes his house and moves to the small villa of his dreams, everything outside becomes irreplaceable. Then will this person find that he needs to change himself too?
He needs more knowledge.
He needs to speak more elegantly.
He needs broader communication.
He needs something more magnificent.
He needs...
Finally, he probably needs a better body...
This is a fable and a life.
Real life is unlikely to be as vivid and vivid as this fable, and it will be mixed with many other things, but as far as this story is concerned, the so-called "earthly pursuit" is all there.
The only regret is that it is difficult for ordinary people to pursue this pursuit to the end, or at least complete a small "circle".
If it can be completed once, even just once, then the rest of its life may be a little different, right?
But this is ultimately a dream, a fantasy, even a fantasy.
So, I have been chasing it all my life.
There is nothing but chasing.
Until the dusk of life comes, there is not much energy left.
Just like a person who happily goes about the day's affairs, whether studying or working or having fun, until it gets late, late, later, later, later, until he is exhausted, has no interest at all, and just wants to
Lie down on the bed and take a nap.
Isn’t this what it’s like to shrink a life into one day?
The difference is that one day can continue after one sleep. But one life can continue after one sleep...
Can you continue to start?
have no idea.
There is another difference, that is, everyone has the experience of one day, and the experience of a lifetime, even if you have seen it and thought about what it is like, but it has not reached the end, it still does not affect the seemingly endless pursuit.
Moreover, what is pursued is the most beautiful, and what is possessed is never cherished.
Why is this so?
Is it because life comes to this world not to have it, but to chase it? Then in the chase, we experience stories and processes...
This enters the subtlety of life, the "unknowable" part.
Therefore, Fang Tian still followed the established principles of consciousness processing, put it aside, and put it aside.
The reason why this story comes to mind is of course related to the current situation.
An exquisite small building was built.
Next, of course, just like the story about red wine, we will create a series of supporting facilities for this small building. To this end, Fang Tian even made a list of items in his consciousness...
Before creating a series of items, Fang Tian symbolically built himself a small building on the third island, which was basically a replica of Loli's, with slightly different details.
The reason why it is said to be a "symbolic" place is that this house is destined not to be used in any way.
Brother, why did you build your house here? Little Loli asked.
She came here with Fang Tian.
After you are promoted to a mage, you can also move to this island. For now, you are still staying on the island just now. Fang Tian said.
Little Loli made a sound, then held her little fist and waved to Fang Tian in an imposing manner.
"Little girl, come on, I'm optimistic about you!" Fang Tian smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted her shoulder.
The sun was setting in the west. When the time came in the evening, there were finally other people on the island, and there were several of them.
Eric, who was appointed by Fang Tian to preside over the Magic Games, Pat, who was appointed by Fang Tian to preside over the nine-level inheritance tower, and Andy, who was appointed by Fang Tian to preside over the daily affairs of the Magicians Association.
And the elusive "Chief Inspector of Yanhuang City" Garrodos.
The other members of the association have all been sent out by Fang Tian, and it is unlikely that they will come back before their respective tasks are completed.
Surrounding Fang Tian's small building, the four natives were all surprised and talking.
Although these four natives are a magician and three junior mages, they are all "resounding" figures. But at this time, their native nature is undoubtedly exposed.
Especially the flush toilet, which attracted unanimous praise and praise from the four people. By the way, even the water supply and drainage installation of this small building was also praised.
Then very quickly, three other small buildings were erected in other places on the island. Of course, flush toilets and the like were necessary. Of course, in the eyes of several mages, the structure of this thing was transparent.
Fang Tian shook his head slightly when he saw this.
They really let him make the first move!
If it wasn't because of a whim and because of little Loli, he built the house. Do these guys have to wear the stars and the moon all the time? Even if they are mages, not all mages have the hobby of sleeping in the wilderness!
Then, the "Chief Inspector of Yanhuang City" applied to Fang Tian to build a house here.
The application is of course a joke. Outside the territory of this association, in the thousands-mile area under the jurisdiction of Yanhuang New City, in many towns and cities, and even in the mountains and plains, there are already countless weird "illegal buildings".
Fang Tiandao: "Of course you can build it if you want, but it can only be on that island."
As he spoke, Fang Tian pointed forward with his hand.
Of course, everyone present knew the origin of Seven Star Island. Not only did they know it, but they also personally participated in its construction. Hearing Fang Tian's words, Garrodos smiled, and then looked at Fang Tian slightly: "Little friend,
You must be able to move to that island soon, right?"
Eric, Pat, and Andy paid attention to this statement at the same time.
Obviously, the "topic" has come.
After Fang Tian came out of practice this time, his physical and mental changes were so huge that even the warriors Grote, Nanjin and the others could not ignore them, let alone them who were also magicians?
That's why Garrodos asked this question at this time.
If you can endure it until now, you are actually quite "refined".
However, Fang Tian knew that with the establishment of the Cross Cultivation System and his understanding of the nature of practice, his practice has gradually deviated from the practice path of traditional magicians in this world, and the scale of deviation will become larger and larger.
Therefore, there is an increasing need to use another yardstick to measure the progress of his practice.
Otherwise, the distortion may be severe.
At the moment, in response to Garrodos' inquiry and everyone's unanimous attention, Fang Tian just smiled and said: "No way! Even the high-ranking mage, I don't know where its direction is. As for the ** mage, that's even more
It’s something without a shadow.”
Fang Tian said very honestly.
But in the world, well, no matter which world it is, many times, no one believes the truth.
After hearing what Fang Tian said, Garrodos nodded slightly, smiled mysteriously, and said "I understand, I understand". Although the other people did not nod, their expressions were exactly the same.
Even Pat, who is Fang Tian's disciple, is the same.
Of course Fang Tian will not make any excuses. This is really a trivial matter and an external matter. To be honest, Fang Tian has basically understood now that for him, as long as he has not achieved the "sacred realm", no matter whether it is a high magician or a ** master
, in fact, they are all the same.
Only by achieving the Holy Realm can he truly "unlock" his external environment. Otherwise, there may be a risk of "turning the world upside down" at any time. - When the flowers are blooming brilliantly, there will be a heavy rain and pear blossom needles, and the next moment, what will happen?
Not anymore.
That's so normal. Fang Tian is not surprised at all if such a scene happens.
Moreover, whether everything will be fine if you achieve the Holy Realm is just Fang Tian's guess. Whether this is actually the case is not yet known.
From the very beginning, Fang Tian did not dare to underestimate this world.
Again, there are such a "few" people and things in this world, which to him are fog. And fog means that everything is possible. (To be continued...)
