During the reign of Yaowen in Liang Dynasty, wars continued on the border, the court was corrupt and withered, the rich and powerful covered the sky with one hand, and the poor had no place to stand.

This is how Bai Yujing was born.Several talented ascetics gathered in Bai Yujing, working towards the same goal.That is ascension.

"Some of them are princes and nobles, some are poor and beggars, and some are brothel women. At a certain moment, they opened fairy bones and gathered in Baiyujing. At that time, they believed that the source of human suffering is the world. attain true bliss and freedom."

Perhaps it was because he saw too many unusual things tonight or even in the past two years, Yu Bai did not question the veracity of the so-called ascension of Taoism and the rumors of immortals, but asked: "Why?"

"Why?" Rong Cunxin smiled helplessly, looking at Yu Bai's eyes like an ignorant doll, "At that time, I was so hungry that I cannibalized people, and all schools emphasized the way of saving lives. Ascension is the most convincing method."

"and then?"

Rong Cunxin smiled: "At that time, I practiced the ruthless way, and I was the most talented among them."

Yu Bai raised his eyebrows.

"Ascension is so difficult. They feel that the reason why they did not succeed is that the world is still struggling. They want to use their freedom to benefit the world and build a paradise. This paradise cannot be achieved by the Liang Dynasty, and the royal family can do it too. No, only Bai Yujing." Rong Cunxin's voice gradually sank, "They want to use Bai Yujing to bring true freedom to the world."

Yu Bai stood up with Rong Cunxin, and looked at the vast starry sky together—the starry sky that was no different from a hundred years ago.

"The Baiyujing they want is for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, to support their children, to teach them little, to die when they are old, to work together and enjoy themselves together, so that everyone can do what they want without breaking the rules. The swamp of freedom spreads all over the world, and finally there will be great harmony for all ages."

Rong Cunxin sighed: "In the beginning, it was indeed successful. Many poor people who had nowhere to go came here admiringly, and the name of Bai Yujing gradually spread. However, this mechanism is extremely perfect and extremely fragile, and finally broke down by itself."

"There are many reasons for the failure. For example, the people who came to Bai Yujing were good and bad. No one can really think of others without selfishness. For example, the royal family's increasingly brutal suppression and torture. For example, the temperament is hard to change, and the system of equal distribution is broken. There are always people who want to eat better, use better, put everything first, and transfer the oppression they suffered in the past to others, and lose their own heart... Failure is a matter of course."

"What about you?"

Yu Bai asked the exit, Fang suddenly found a problem - during the Yaowen years, when the famine was rampant, it has been more than a hundred years since now, right?

"Because they meddled in the affairs of the mortal world, they were backlashed by the immortal art, and they were beaten back to the mortal body, unable to ascend forever, and finally died in Baiyujing, and the mortals also scattered away. And I..." Rong Cunxin smiled, "I Got the chance to ascend."

At that time, Baiyujing had already flourished and declined, and it was completely desolate.What appeared in front of Rong Cunxin was what he had longed for half his life-after the thunder and thunder, after the thick clouds and lightning, after the feather and soaring, will there be real freedom and real bliss?

"You didn't go."

Rong Cunxin stared at the handsome young man in front of him for a long time, the corners of his lips slowly curved into a sly arc.He said softly, "yes, I didn't go."

Yu Bai was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why?"

"At that time, I suddenly understood something." Rong Cunxin glanced at Yu Bai who was focused, and suddenly smiled, "But I won't tell you."

Yu Bai: "..." Heh.

"They are dead, but Bai Yujing is still here. Since Bai Yujing is here, I must be here too." Rong Cunxin stretched, "Their deaths buried most of the immortal arts, but they also left Bai Yujing behind. The last barrier is the real isolation. Think about it, do you still remember the way you came here?"

This story is bizarre and absurd, but somehow there are some strange and reasonable things.The ethereal backs of those Nine Layered Immortals seemed to appear in the night sky, Yu Bai was silent for a long time: "Is this why you brought me here?"

Rong Cunxin smiled: "Sadness mostly comes from all phenomena in the world, and freedom comes from understanding the mind. I stopped in the ascension back then, and it was a lie to say that I have no regrets. I still want to glimpse the scenery of Jiutian. When I see you, I feel that you are like me back then. Xiaobai, Bai Yujing has the freedom you want."

The pain that ordinary people cannot bear, the tenacity that cannot be possessed, and the loneliness that cannot be experienced.The most successful person in cultivating the ruthless way is not a person who is born ruthless, but a person who cuts off the sprouted emotions and returns to the ruthless mist - the words that Rong Cunxin has been chanting in his ears for two years emerged in Yu Bai's mind.

He said, "No."

Rong Cunxin glanced at Yu Bai unexpectedly.

This story quickly materialized in front of him, with chaotic figures and overlapping lights and shadows, which turned into flashing arrows and shot at the past 23 years, and the whole heart suddenly became enlightened in an instant.

"I didn't understand this story, but I also want to understand one thing." Yu Bai took a deep breath, "Only I can give me my freedom. The freedom I can only get by relying on you, Xiuxian Dao, and even Bai Yujing , is it any different from me being trapped in the deep palace?"

Since ancient times, people in the world have sought liberation and freedom.Some people practice Taoism, some people seek immortality, and even those who enter Baiyujing seek freedom.

But where is the freedom, no one knows.What they do is nothing more than following the traditions that have been handed down, following the rules and step by step.Therefore, cultivating Taoism did not give them freedom, and isolation did not give them freedom. Those who entered Baiyujing could not give up their deep-rooted habits, and they changed from oppressed to oppressors, let alone freedom at all.

The lack of freedom is due to the shackles. There are many kinds of shackles, both physical and spiritual.Such as imprisoned bodies, unsatisfied desires, innate obsessions, and deep-rooted habits.

Yu Bai vaguely grasped a sentence in his heart—perhaps true freedom is not only the ability to break the shackles, but also the right to choose the shackles.

.

With one thought settled, his voice became brisk: "I'm leaving."

Two years of escapism is enough.That person named Zhao Jun is a bondage to him, and perhaps also freedom.

Rong Cunxin didn't seem surprised, hearing the words, he only laughed and cursed: "Little heartless, it's useless to teach you."

Yu Bai bowed and said, "Master, I'm leaving."

This is the first time he calls Rong Cun Xin his master.

It took him two years to finally get a glimpse of his own mind in this desolate and prosperous Baiyujing.

Rong Cunxin... If it wasn't for him, he might still be sluggish in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.This time Master, he should have worshiped...

"Don't call me master, I don't have your apprentice."

Yu Bai: "???"

Rong Cunxin touched her nose in embarrassment, trying to redeem her pitiful master-student relationship: "Hey, this, this, the main reason is that I promised a person that I will only accept him as an apprentice in this life, that guy is narrow-minded... But Xiaobai, don't worry, in my heart you are my eternal apprentice..."

Yu Bai: "..." Okay, I understand.

He took a deep breath, and said to Rong Cunxin's back: "One last question."

"Is this story true?"

Rong Cunxin turned his back to him and waved his hands. In the rising sun, only his handsome back was fading away, leaving the words "Don't worry, I'm here" in his throat.

The author says:

Bai Yujing is a strange story.Selfishly mixed with a bit of communism (?), elements of cultivating immortality, and messy and unreasonable thinking, it finally became the current nondescript story.Everyone light spray (???ω???)

Finally, I want to say that perhaps true freedom is not only the ability to break the shackles, but also the right to choose the shackles.Zhao Jun and A Bai are in bondage, and perhaps also freedom.

Quiet Mimi sighed, this week's [-] is really terrible, but fortunately it's finally over (dog head)~
