The Spirit World

Chapter 774 Chapter Fortunately I have a companion

"My dear apprentice brother... you learned how to eat from me... it would be so embarrassing if it got out..."

The master grabbed Lin'er's hand and stuffed a secret book of martial arts into her hand.

The master, dressed in white and looking like an immortal, pleaded with his only disciple, Lin'er, the naughty little boy sitting on a swing and reading a comic book, saying, "Good disciple, beautiful disciple, fairy disciple~ This is "Tianluo Wanxiang", a very, very powerful martial arts method, you should study it well~ If you learn it~ the master will be proud, and you will also have a powerful martial arts method, how great, how cool! How happy~"

The master's pleading seemed somewhat pitiful in front of the happy Lin'er. It was somewhat embarrassing for a great immortal to beg a little girl to learn his skills.

"No~ please~" Lin'er looked at the picture book jumping on the paper. There were three-dimensional images drawn on the book, just like a shadow play with concrete images. The stories on each page were performed, making these books more valuable.

This kind of book is a novelty to the master, but to Lin'er, it is just like a book on TV.

Although my master doesn't read this kind of picture books, I heard that my master's master is very willing to read them. So in the several large boxes and cabinets that contain my master's master's belongings, there are many such books that interpret thousands of stories.

It's strange that this kind of books are either about a young and cute person growing up to a big person, or a little girl from a poor family becoming a person in the spotlight, or, more often, about men's family and national affairs... they rarely involve the right characters.

Although I have heard that there are people in the spirit world whose prototypes are based on these counterattack stories, the routines of each story are almost the same, so that the only thing that can be compared is the painting skills of the person who drew the comic book, rather than the story itself.

There are very few stories that teach people the true principles of life, and there are many books about evil and deviant teachings. These books shatter people's world views and challenge people's limits. Most of them are meaningless and teach people to fantasize about becoming the characters in the books, but they lack true reality.

It's like if an immortal reads this, they would feel that this book is too misleading. Who has not experienced the tribulations of heaven and earth to become an immortal? Is it the subtle results of practicing day by day, or even minute by minute?

Not to mention soaring into the sky, even miracles only happen to a minority of people, which makes people daydream - using time terms such as a few years or even hundreds of years later - to ignore the hardships behind this effort.

You know, it may only take less than three seconds to say a few years or even hundreds of years. This means that people don't know how precious every minute and second is, and it is difficult to apply it to themselves.

Some people fantasize that they will be completely changed "after a few years" or that they will make a change "after a few days". This kind of daydream-like fantasy can really ruin a person.

Every minute and every second must be passed. There is no possibility of giving up or starting over for a period of time.

"Brother apprentice, can you please put down the comic book and listen to me?"

Master never reads and doesn’t like to read picture books.

Because Master has always been a down-to-earth person. I heard that when Master's Master's Master was his disciple, Master showed amazing perseverance and determination.

The master was not afraid of all the monsters who lived with him like friends, nor was he afraid of any face issues. He knelt at the gate of Prajna Prajna Mountain and begged his master to accept him as a disciple.

The only reason why Master's Master refused Master's apprenticeship was that Master's Master felt that it was too much trouble to accept an apprentice...

For example, you need to tell the master many things, including how immortals should improve their own life source and obtain long life. This will take several years or even decades. People with low comprehension cannot improve their life by even a few days, let alone a few years.

Cultivating immortals is not necessarily against the will of heaven. Just like any normal industry, some people have a hard life and pay a high price to enter the industry, while some people are lucky and can extend their lifespan by a few years by simply practicing, and can also obtain a lot of secret manuals on martial arts. There is definitely no escape from this reason.

The unspoken rules of the world can be summed up in one word: fate.

Being born in a good family probably means that your life is a little better than that of ordinary people... But there's nothing you can do about it, not everyone in the world is born to the same parents.

People are divided into different destinies, some are good and some are bad. There is no fairness in it. Otherwise, why should everyone pursue fairness and justice?

To put it bluntly, there must be too many unfair and unjust things happening, so someone needs to stand up and speak out, otherwise it will be an unspoken rule.

The unspoken rule of cultivating immortals is fate.

Theoretically, humans who have never had contact with the fairyland since birth, or have no connection with the fairyland, no longer have any connection with the fairyland.

Unless you really become the protagonist in a book and have adventures, there is no way.

And my master is such a person who has no fate with immortality.

Kneeling at the gate of Prajna Prajna Mountain, Master's Master would not even blink an eye. Master's Master might tease any human who came to visit or play, but in front of Master's Master who had lived for a thousand years, Master who was not even twenty years old was simply... a cell that had not yet begun to divide...

During the time when there were still monsters in Mount Prajnaprajna, the monsters who could talk would walk along the mountain path around the master who was kneeling on the ground.

Because it was too embarrassing. The monsters who had a sense of time couldn't possibly not know that a twenty-year-old human wanted to learn the immortal cultivation technique. Not to mention his motives, just thinking about it made them feel... incredible...

It was as if the world no longer gave people any gifts except for birth. There was no big difference between Master's father's kneeling and Master's father's master's father's indifference. When Master's father's master's father went down the mountain to play mahjong with old friends or when her friends came to play mahjong with her, they had to pass by Master's father's kneeling seat and leave calmly.

"If sincerity works... young man... you should have moved heaven a long time ago, and made it rain or something, and shower you with water."

The coldness displayed by my master's master was like a piece of thousand-year-old black ice. There was no possibility of thawing at all.

"But, this is the fairyland. Only the gods who control the clouds and rain can make it rain. You can't move anyone because the gods who control the clouds and rain don't even know who you are..."

The master's master looked at the young master with an extremely cold look while cracking melon seeds: "For another example, if humans danced like gods, or knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely for rain for several months or even years, why would we need gods in charge of clouds and rain? Besides, even if there were no gods in charge of clouds and rain, it would just be a rain caused by the collision of high pressure and low pressure. It would be better to change the pressure difference, or sprinkle some powder that can make it rain... Why would we need to go through so much trouble... Ah... Don't you think so?"

The master's father said that when his master's father met him for the first time, before he accepted him as his apprentice, they were completely different people.

The master's father's father was not arrogant and was more casual. In fact, the master's father's father was even more pragmatic than the master's father.

She doesn't seem like the type of person who would read comic books. She said that she read comic books because she was bored, not because it was interesting. Comic books are used to make money, but comic books can't make her money. These are all gifts given to her by her immortal friends.

Most of the immortals don't believe this...

Because the immortals have been rewarded for their hard work, and they have become a completely different class from humans, and those comic books that want to counterattack are them...

Isn’t this a feeling of human provocation? Therefore, the fairy world’s comic books are not selling well, while the human world’s comic books are everywhere.

Why would someone who has practiced for hundreds or thousands of years be defeated by someone who has just started practicing? Or is he just that stupid in the comic book?

Have you lived in vain...

Or, the battles of wits and courage in the comic books are all based on the word "cleverness". A comic book without any communication is not of much value.

Moreover, the meaning of comic books may not be really important. Most people in the world like stories about the weak defeating the strong.

Rather than a life of failure after failure.

If you want to define a failed life based on money, you only need to look at every hard-working person on the street corner. You will see tired eyes and empty wallets, and even eyes that are unable to bear and cry under the pressure of life. It can be said that what they need is a life of counterattack.

If they could be reborn, perhaps, this would be the life they want.

Do things they have never done before.

Drinking and having fun all day, indulging in lust, and venting their emotions may be what some people really want to do.

This is also why a comic book that reminds everyone to cherish what is in front of them and goes from reality to dreams and from dreams to reality can be a big seller. Because, apart from accepting such an ordinary self, living hard, working diligently, and living a good life, no one can tell them whether they still need to go into dreams to change their lives.

"My dear apprentice brother..."

The master's tone turned earnest.

Only then did Lin'er realize the seriousness of the matter.

She looked towards her master and her father, who were still fighting with the comic books, making a great noise.

Master closed Lin'er's picture book, looked at her sincere big eyes, and sighed slowly.

He said

"My dear apprentice brother, in this world, the richest and most hardworking age is now. When you are your age, it doesn't mean that you have to keep up with the world, learn some good skills, or study hard."

"Whether fate is fair or not, whether it is just or not, or even whether it is good or bad, is not important at all. What is important is that when you realize that your life is being led by yourself, all the mistakes you have made, every minute and every second, visible or invisible, are all due to you, who has absolute control over your body."

"We are not talking about people who have lost their freedom because of coercion. We are talking about people who, even under coercion, are aware of themselves and are in control of their own lives."

"Every minute and every second of your life should belong to you."

"The fairness and justice of fate is not a topic to discuss at all. Even if someone divides human beings into different classes, different levels, and different boundaries, you should always control your own body and live in such a way."

“Don’t play around when you can study hard. No matter what others say about the use of studying, those who stop you from studying are the people you should stay away from the most in your life.”

"When you are able to work well, take every job seriously. Jobs are divided into high and low levels based on money, so you should go for a higher position. This is human nature and the only way to maintain competitiveness."

"When dealing with relatives, you can talk things over in a nice and slow manner. There is nothing that cannot be solved. Good relatives' interactions are definitely not a bad thing. Good relatives' communication and companionship, and bad relatives' distance and no contact with them until death, are all based on your life needs."

“This is not to teach you that if you don’t work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Instead, it is to tell you that whether you live well or not is your life. When you use the scale in your heart to measure whether you live well in this world, you don’t need to tell anyone, because the answer in your heart is absolutely correct.”

Master's words, to put it bluntly, are all plain words; to put it lightly, every word cannot be ignored.

"You are living every minute of your life. Do you understand what I mean? Disciple brother, I'll treat you to a meal and make the most of every minute of your life."

"People live for a hundred years, at most. Some people can't even live past one year old, but some people can really live to be over a hundred years old. They spend six years as babies lying in strollers, six years as teenagers without the ability to live on their own, and six years as young adults without their own subjective life consciousness. There is also a period of lying in bed without a sense of their own life as an old man. All these years add up, every minute and every second you need to experience, and it only adds up to about forty years..."

"Do you understand what I mean... my dear apprentice brother... the life you were able to be conscious of, alive, and able to feel every minute and every second, was only a short forty years..."

"Forty years will surely be like the short moment when the sun rises and sets in the sky..."

"As you age, your physical functions decline, and many things become impossible to do... You shouldn't bury your life in comic books during the golden years of your life."

"There are many positions, so pick one you like. After working for forty years, practice makes perfect. Even if you can't become a master, no one can match you in terms of proficiency and experience."

"How many people didn't realize this when they were young..."

"Life cannot be repeated."
