Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens also looked at these "little ants". It was the morning rush hour, and everyone's face was panicked, or expressionless and indifferent.
The ones who can still have smiles on their faces are the children who go to school in groups, but the children also have worries. Some children are distressed because they were playful yesterday and did not finish their homework today.
Xiang Chen smiled and continued: "I have been reincarnated many times and lived a mortal life. These mortals were the most carefree in the first twenty years. In the first twenty years, they were like monkeys, happy and joyful.
More than worries.”
"In the next twenty years, I will be like an old scalper, working diligently, working hard to survive, squeezing my body and energy."
"Then after another twenty years, it will be like a puppy, which can only be kept at home until the end of its life."
"Most of their lives don't have big twists and turns like ours. Many of them may not even have experienced killing people, and they don't have to shoulder the responsibility for the survival of the world like us. Their lives are short and insignificant, but I feel a sense of warmth in them.
kind of spirit.”
"What spirit?" asked the Holy Maiden of Nine Heavens.
"Responsibility and inheritance, you see, in fact, their lives are generally spent doing the same thing over and over again, making money, raising families, nurturing future generations, and then they get too old and can't do it anymore, and die in the tears of their loved ones."
"In the first twenty years, everyone was a child or teenager, living a relatively carefree life under the protection of their parents."
"In the intervening twenty years, they began to become parents, taking over the responsibilities of their aging parents, nurturing their offspring, and allowing their offspring to live a relatively stable and happy life. Then when their children grew up, they were old."
"As they grow old, those whose children are filial may still be able to enjoy their old age in peace, but they will also watch their friends around them pass away one after another, and they are powerless to go where they want to go. Those whose children are not filial will still be struggling for a living when they are old.
, they seem to live just to live.”
"Their lives are so short compared to ours, but they can use their short lives to continue to pass on culture and civilization, so that future generations can inherit their lives and continue their lives in an alternative form."
"Their lives are only a few decades, what can we do? One retreat, one practice and enlightenment, and time has passed.
However, in a sense they are greater than us. The length of their lives cannot match ours, but their extension of the width of their limited lives far exceeds ours."
As he spoke, Xiang Chen teleported her to the door of a delivery room. He saw an anxious young man walking back and forth at the door, and four elderly people who looked similar to them were also waiting anxiously.
The sudden appearance of the two people did not cause them any surprise, as if they had not seen them suddenly appear.
"Are you two also here waiting to pick up your grandson?" One of the more talkative old men asked with a smile.
Xiang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, congratulations, brother, on the new addition to the family."
"Hahaha, we are all happy together. As parents and grandparents, aren't we just waiting for this moment?" The old man was obviously in a very good mood. After passing by, he took out a cigarette and gave it to Xiang Chen.
"Dad, smoking is not allowed in the hospital, and you should stop smoking in the future. Second-hand smoke is not good for children." The young man complained a little.
"Sorry, sorry, wasn't this a subconscious action when I was happy?" The old man quickly apologized as if he had done something wrong, smiled apologetically at Xiang Chen, and put away his cigarette.
Xiang Chen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, just listen to your son, smoke less and quit. You will live ten more years."
"Hey, I have quit, but I can't quit. You said we have worked hard all our lives for nothing. Isn't it just to ensure that our children and grandchildren can grow up safely and healthily in our own hands?"
"I've been tired all my life and don't have any other hobbies. I just smoke a few cigarettes and drink a little wine. Brother, don't you think so? We men spend our lives apologizing. When we were young, we apologized to our mothers. When we grow up, we apologize to our mothers.
My wife apologizes, she’s old, hey, she still has to apologize to her children.”
Xiang Chen laughed and felt very reasonable, so he said: "You can have more fun in the future. Watching your grandson grow up, I feel that for your grandson, you can quit smoking. I don't want anything, just
Try to live longer.
Take a closer look at their lives, go dancing in the square, play Bingbing ball, meet up with friends to play chess and drink tea, and take care of your grandchildren. These are all fun. Looking at them, isn’t it the same as seeing your past self?
."
The old man was very touched after hearing this. After thinking about it, he threw the box of cigarettes into the trash can and nodded: "Brother, you are right. For them, I will quit smoking. I am determined to quit!"
The old man's wife, husband, and the young man all looked at Xiang Chen gratefully. In fact, the old man's lungs had serious problems. They had been worried about him and asked him to quit smoking, but he refused to quit.
"Wow--!"
At this time, there was a cry in the delivery room, and then the nurse opened the door and said with a smile: "It's a daughter. Mother and daughter are safe."
And this family all went in happily, and the man was holding flowers in his hands. The joyful mood made people feel the same and they couldn't help but smile.
Xiang Chen took the Nine Heavens Saint and left silently. Xiang Chen said: "What I said is also based on the principles of human nature. Men actually compromise all their lives, just for the sake of family harmony. Many times, personal status no longer matters.
.”
The Nine Heavens Saint smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you would have so many feelings about mortal life. In fact, deep down in your heart, you are really a very soft person."
"I feel like I'm quite cruel." Xiang Chen led her to another ICU ward.
And there, there was a lot of crying, an old man who had just lost his life was lying on the hospital bed, with a son and a daughter beside him sobbing, and the atmosphere was filled with sadness.
"People's joys and sorrows are not the same, but a small hospital for mortals contains the great principles of the origin of the cycle of life and death. It seems that I have to re-examine the world." The Nine Heavens Saint murmured to herself as she felt the atmosphere.
"Yes, we stand too high and often ignore them. Now when we come down and take a look, we will actually find that this world also contains the supreme avenue." Xiang Chen nodded in approval.
Looking at the scene of life, separation and death, the perfect path of reincarnation in his heart actually started to loosen and burst out towards the way of heaven.
The two of them watched the doctor go in and push the dead old man to the morgue.
I also saw the old man's soul leaving his body, going from confusion to gradually sadness, looking at his children and sighing, and finally floating to another world that called him with a look of relief.
It is a relief after the responsibility is completely relieved.
As Xiang Chen watched the old man leave and sensed his mood changes, confusion, sighs, sadness, and finally relief, a stronger sense of heaven in his heart was nourished and born in reincarnation——
