He and It

Liu Fuguang's heart moved slightly. He looked directly into the city lord's eyes and said: "The sea surface is flat, but there are still waves surging in small places. Peace in the world does not necessarily mean that the storm will never be settled."

Looking into Liu Fuguang's eyes, the city lord's sleepwalking expression froze.

After a long time, this mortal suddenly laughed, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "There is a banquet in front of the hall, and I want to invite two gentlemen to drink!"

The servants flowed as fast as an open stream, and they were suddenly crowded around the table with a variety of cups, gold plates and silver pots. The city lord called several more Qing guests to accompany them. In front of each person, there was a shallow jade dendrobium. The dendrobium was filled with fine wine, like a clear crystal, and like a circle of clear round mirrors, reflecting the full color of the wine. The room is brightly lit.

This situation, even if it cannot be called a fairyland, is the ultimate embodiment of the magnificence of the mortal world. But Liu Fuguang was born indifferent to materialistic desires, and Yan Huan had collected all the wealth in the world, so his attitude was mediocre, but he responded politely.

The city lord saw this and began to worry about it.

He stood up to toast and said to Liu Fuguang: "With all due respect, may I ask these two gentlemen...are they immortals practicing in heaven?"

Liu Fuguang thought for a while: "Actually, we can't be considered ascetics."

"Oh..." The city lord nodded, there was no disappointment in his expression, he just said: "I think Mr., seems to be very sure about things in the world, so I ask this question."

After a pause, he continued: "Sir, you have traveled all over the country, so you want to see a lot of things? I wonder if you have ever heard of any unbelievable things?"

"The world is so vast that there is no shortage of wonders." Liu Fuguang said calmly, "There is a difference between the unimaginable and the incredible."

The city lord slowly sat down and smiled tiredly: "If we really talk about it, isn't the most unimaginable and commonplace thing in the world, immortality?"

For the first time, Yan Huan laughed.

His voice was neither high nor low, somewhere between funny and scornful. Except for Liu Fuguang, everyone present felt like they were falling into an ice cellar. The coldness spewed out from the inside out, as if even the internal organs were shaking in an instant. Full of dense goosebumps.

Liu Fuguang held him down and asked quietly, "Does the city lord also want to seek immortality?"

The city lord stared at Yan Huan in fear, and after trembling for a while, he said: "No, no, I'm just curious, just curious..."

Liu Fuguang thought for a while, raised his head and said: "Taoists say that you must be quiet and pure, and you can live forever if you have a female form without labor and no shaking female essence. It means that you must maintain tranquility and tranquility as a human being, and do not make your body work hard or your body." By shaking your spirit, you can gain immortality. But the immortality in this sentence is not really immortality, it is just about extending a person's life span as much as possible."

He dipped his drink in the wine and drew the symbols of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on the table. The city lord was attracted by his words and couldn't help but stretch his neck from the main seat and poke his head to take a closer look.

"As for the other kind of immortality, it is the immortality that 'the reason why heaven and earth can last long is that it does not generate itself, so it can live forever'." Liu Fuguang said seriously, "The so-called selfless reason can achieve selfishness. The reason why heaven and earth can exist for a long time is that it can live forever." Precisely because they do not exist for themselves, heaven and earth encompass all things, so they are immortal. However, such a state cannot be achieved by individuals."

The city lord was stunned. He stared at the symbols on the table for a long time. The wine in the dendrobium reflected his face, and Liu Fuguang was surprised to find that the human figure reflected on the wine was not a mummy covered in black air in reality, but a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and fair complexion.

Yan Huan also saw this vision. He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed, and whispered to Liu Fuguang: "It's like obsession."

"Obsession?"

"Obsession is a curse, and the obsession of many people is a powerful 'atmosphere'." Yan Huan explained, "They still believe everything they see, so whether it is in the mirror or on the water, they can only Show what they think they are, not the truth.”

Having been writhing in illusions for more than six thousand years, there must be no one in this world who understands the power of obsession better than the Evil Dragon God.

The city lord was stunned for a long time, then glanced at Yan Huan quickly, and finally summoned up the courage to ask in awe: "Then... what is the other gentleman's opinion on immortality?"

Yan Huan raised his eyes. His transformed appearance was unremarkable, but this raising of his eyes made the city lord tremble inwardly. He hurriedly covered himself with a wine glass, not daring to look directly.

"——Everyone will die," Yan Huan said lazily. Because Liu Fuguang was beside him, he was willing to answer a human's question and said casually, "But I am alone."

After listening to the answers from the most good and the most evil, the city lord held his wine glass and remained silent for a long time.

Liu Fuguang keenly noticed something strange, just like waking up a patient lingering on the bed. A long-lost clear light appeared in the eyes of the city lord.

"You two gentlemen have great opinions, but they are not complete." The city lord whispered in a daze, "There are not all immortal people in the world."

Liu Fuguang smiled bitterly and said: "There are many people who live in Taoism who live thousands of years..."

"No, it's not that kind of immortality," the city lord interrupted him and said vaguely, "I mean, it's not like there are no such immortal people who live as long as heaven for thousands of generations."

Liu Fuguang looked at him, but after the city lord said this, there was nothing more to say. He had a feeling - it seemed that in a state of sleep but not sleep, and half a dream but not a dream, the city lord was trying his best to reveal something to them.

At the banquet, the faces of the guests had changed. The lights were bright, as if they were shining on several lifeless people.

One of them said flatly: "The matter of immortality is too illusory."

"My lord, please don't be disturbed by flattery. Whether these two people have real ability is still open to debate."

"My lord is tired, so it's better to rest early. The royal city will send a special envoy to assist you regarding the murder. My lord, you know it well, don't listen to the people who are trying to make ends meet."

Liu Fuguang and Yan Huan looked at each other. These Qingguang people were like domestic dogs guarding the courtyard. Because a stranger stepped on their yard, they suddenly showed their true colors of evil, which surprised them.
