On the other side, Zhao Xiaoxiang went to the sacrificial vessels and altar, but did not arrange them immediately. Instead, he came to the bank of the river first.
The so-called big river does not mean how huge this river really is. In fact, the width of this river is only more than a hundred miles.
Now that the heaven and earth have truly returned, the earth in the original time and space has expanded to an unknown extent compared to before, and has become somewhat like the scene of ancient times.
In ancient times, there were countless gods and men in heaven and earth. The size of each of those gods and men, measured by today's standards, and the height of thousands of feet, could only be regarded as stunted. In this case, on the earth, the so-called
By today's standards, rivers with a width of less than a thousand miles can only be regarded as small streams.
A well-known river has a width of one hundred thousand miles.
It is said to be a river, but at first glance, it is no different from the sea.
And many of those really big rivers are "boundless", with strong spatial characteristics, not enough realm, and the edges can't be touched at all.
As for the big river that Zhao Xiaoxiang came to at this moment, it was only more than a hundred meters wide. This river was not considered big in the long-lasting national era, let alone now that the world has been turned upside down, and the big river is just a place name.
At this moment, on the bank of the river, there was an old man and a young man fishing.
The older one has a broad frame. Although he is old, he looks like a lion that has lost weight. As for the younger one, he is dressed in green clothes and has a raw body. At first glance, he seems to have a certain sense of the ruthlessness of heaven.
When Zhao Xiaoxiang came, the older one was reprimanding the younger one, saying: "You have cultivated yourself too lightly. People's hearts and minds are indifferent. Everything is indifferent. The way of heaven is ruthless, and the Tao is ruthless. But you are not the way of heaven."
It’s not the Great Way, and there’s no need to cultivate yourself into the Way of Heaven or the Great Way.”
"It is true that your cultivation level is higher than mine now, but have you ever seen that the way of heaven surpasses the way of heaven, and the great road surpasses the great road?!"
"Only by not becoming them can we transcend them."
"There were no shortage of ruthless immortals, Buddhas, and saints in the past, there still are some now, and there will definitely be no shortage of them in the future. But they are only immortals, Buddhas, and saints, nothing more."
The old man shook his head, somewhat hating that iron could not become steel.
"Old man, everyone has his own way. It's good to transcend the way of heaven and the great road, but I know my own capacity. When I was young, I thought that the sky was high and the sky was vast. As long as I wanted to, there was nothing I couldn't do.
.”
"Even if the great pass and the long road are really like iron, there is nothing that cannot be jumped."
"But the reality is that humans have limits after all."
"It is indeed easy to say that the mind is infinite, but the most difficult thing to overcome is oneself."
"Look, old man, even mortals who only know how to talk clearly know that as long as they can transcend their own level and forget themselves, they will be in harmony with the Tao and the light. Although because I am too weak, I am like a handstand.
Lifting up is like lifting the earth, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a kind of harmony."
"It's just that even ants know how to be in harmony with the Tao, but if they want to do it, only a few of the trillions of mortals can do it."
"I think, therefore I am; I do not think, therefore the heaven and the earth perish, and all phenomena become silent..."
"But it's easy to think about it. If you really don't think about it, I can't, and neither can you, old man."
the young man retorted.
While he retorted, his expression was still as ruthless and indifferent as heaven.
"In my life, I have had some luck, some chance, and some brilliance, but in the future, even if I can only get one point of greatness, that will be enough."
"As for transcending the avenue, I will not dream about such a thing."
Hearing this, the old man shook his head and sighed: "Today's young people are just too sober."
"Old man, I am no longer young."
"The soul is always young. Such a spirit is too high. It is easier said than done."
"Nowadays, many people follow the rules, pretending that their hearts are still young, pretending to be childlike, but in fact, young is young, and not young is not young."
The young man also shook his head.
"It's pointless to lie to yourself. You can't lie to yourself."
The two of them were talking heatedly, but Zhao Xiaoxiang was rude and interrupted the conversation without hesitation: "You two are really leisurely, fishing in the east of the river, sitting and discussing, and you don't know how eternal the light is."
"There's no such thing as leisure. It's just living an idle life, stealing half a day's leisure."
The old man didn't even turn his head, and his eyes were still fixed on the float on the water. On the contrary, the young man turned around and said politely: "You talk to the old man, and I will go back first."
As soon as the words fell, the young people dispersed into the world.
"Zhou Qing, this boy, is going further and further off the road!"
Zhao Xiaoxiang shook his head.
"I've never seen him so polite before."
"Being polite means respecting etiquette and following the rules. Young people often don't follow the rules. The more they break away, the more creative they can be. If you follow the rules, you can never break out of the rules."
Zhao Xiaoxiang felt that she might have been infected by these two people, and she started shaking her head as soon as she arrived.
"He actually knows it in his heart, but he just has no choice but to do it. This is his own calamity."
"But if that's not the case, as long as you become a great master and your life span is endless, doesn't that mean you can grow indefinitely?!"
"But external calamities are easy to survive, but internal calamities are difficult to overcome."
"In recent years, not only the Federation, but also multiple worlds, more and more powerful practitioners have encountered similar problems."
"The environment for cultivation is too good and cultivation is too easy, but it creates disaster."
"Unlike in the past, great kings may not appear all at once, but every great king has a strong sense of self."
"I already know your purpose of coming, but I can't go to the big festival."
"I buried a sword and raised a sword. That sword can break dimensions, break reincarnation, and cut off the light of the sun, moon, and stars. That sword must be used at the critical moment, not now."
The old man, or Zhou Yu, said calmly.
Over the course of thousands of years, he has undergone tremendous changes.
"As for Zhao Cheng, since he disappeared, there is a reason for his disappearance. When it is time for him to appear, he will naturally appear. You are just doing useless work..."
"Did Zhao Cheng say anything to you before he disappeared?!"
Zhao Xiaoxiang changed the question.
"I haven't met him."
Zhou Yu shook his head.
"What I am doing now is not his arrangement, but what I think I should do."
"He has his way, and I have mine."
"Maybe my way is in line with his way, so it seems like his arrangement, or maybe my way is actually contrary to his arrangement, but these are not important."
"So, are you really the Zhou Yu I know?!"
"If so, why don't you look at me head on?!"
Zhao Xiaoxiang's conversation suddenly changed. It turned out that when she was speaking, she had already stepped on the river, but Zhou Yu still had his back to her.
"During this period, I actually saw some interesting things."
"Relying on the power of light, I passed through the gap of reincarnation and went to the era of emperor success."
"But the interesting thing is that there was no Emperor Cheng in the era of Emperor Cheng. Everyone knew about Emperor Cheng and could see Emperor Cheng. Only an outsider like me couldn't see it."
"In addition, I also met another you."
"The first general under Emperor Cheng, the heavy wing of the empire, General Xuanyu..."
