Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming looked towards the door, and Ye Xuan said softly, “Is the other party letting us in?”
Ye Zhiming nodded.
Ye Xuan laughed, “Then let’s go in!”
After saying that, he walked towards the distance.
Ye Zhiming glanced at Ye Xuan before following suit.
Soon, Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming entered the door.
Inside the door, there was a different world.
The two entered the door and came directly to a small island, and around the island, there was seawater that could not be seen at a glance.
And not far in front of them, there sat a white-clothed old man, and in front of the white-clothed old man, there was a chessboard.
Seeing Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming, the white-clothed old man smiled faintly, “Congratulations.”
Ye Xuan gave a slight salute, “What is the joy that senior is talking about?”
The white-clothed elder smiled, “You have stepped out on your own path!”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “That path of broken stones is from senior’s hand?”
The white-clothed old man nodded, “Originally, I wanted to find a whence inheritor for myself, but unfortunately, after waiting for tens of thousands of years, I couldn’t wait, however, it was not easy to come up with a good one, but then I stepped out of my own path …….”
Saying that, he shook his head and smiled, “The heavens are playing with me!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “I can also be a senior inheritor!”
The white-clothed elder laughed, “No way! Because you already have your own Dao, in a way, you are on the same path as me.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
The white-clothed old man suddenly looked at Ye Zhiming beside Ye Xuan, “This girl is also not bad, but unfortunately, not from our world, moreover, the girl’s origin is not simple ……..”
Ye Zhiming glanced at the white-clothed old man and did not speak.
Ye Xuan said, “Does senior know where she comes from?”
The white-clothed old man laughed, “You don’t know?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “She won’t talk to me!”
The white-clothed old man smiled faintly, “Then I won’t mind my own business!”
Ye Xuan: “……”
The white-clothed old man said softly, “Sit, let’s talk!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then walked over to the white-clothed old man and sat down.
The white-clothed old man looked up at the sky and said softly, “You guys are here for that Dao Scripture, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded his head.
The white-clothed old man smiled, then he took out a black scroll and placed it on the board!
Seeing the black scroll, the eyes of Ye Zhiming on the side narrowed.
Ye Xuan glanced at the black scroll, “This is the Dao Scripture?”
The white-clothed old man nodded, “The Dao Scripture has a total of nine pages, one page is a scroll, and this is the third scroll for me: variables.”
Ye Xuan looked at the white-clothed old man, “Variables?”
The white-clothed old man nodded, “All things in this world are born and die, they are born and extinguished along with the variables. Therefore, not only do all things have the phenomena of birth, old age, sickness, and death, the mountains and rivers of the world also have the evolution of rising and falling, rising and falling. The human mind has changes of joy, anger, sadness, thoughts, grief, fear, and surprise, and the time sequence of the natural world is spring, summer, autumn, and winter, or cold, warmth, cold, and summer. That is to say, everything in time is not eternal and unchanging, it changes from time to time, what has gone in the past has gone, what has not gone has not gone, and what is now is already changing, and all of these changes coming and going, life and death going and staying are all made possible by variables.”
Saying this, he looked at Ye Xuan and smiled slightly, “To put it simply, nothing in the universe is static, since it is moving, it is a ‘variable’.”And because of this variable, everything in the world becomes meaningful.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Ye Zhiming, who was beside him, suddenly said, “The way of variables, can it be controlled by human beings?”
The white-clothed old man glanced at Ye Zhiming and smiled, “It can! As the saying goes, man will win over heaven, although this saying is not absolute, it is not impossible.”
Ye Zhiming was silent.
The white-clothed old man looked at Ye Xuan, “Your sword path has changed into a completely new sword path, but you have to understand that not only the sword path can change, life is unpredictable, there are variables in everything in the world! And I have realised one thing over the years, that is, life is impermanent, although we can’t change the world, we can change ourselves, and after we change ourselves, we change the world. If we don’t change ourselves, we will be changed by the world. And this variable, it may make your life worse, or it may make your life better, and it is not dependent on the variable, but on ourselves. Those who work hard tend not to have a bad life.”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Senior should be able to see the cause of the doom on me, right?”
The white-robed elder nodded, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan looked at the white-robed elder, who smiled faintly, “In fact, you are already changing yourself.”
At those words, Ye Xuan was slightly flabbergasted, and soon, he gave a slight salute, “I understand!”
The cause of the doom and gloom!
Once, he had no idea what the Cause of Doom was, he could only be manipulated and manipulated.
But now, he was able to change!
Just like at this moment, although he met Ye Zhiming because of the Cause of Doom, he also came to this place because of Ye Zhiming, breaking through the Dao of the Sword and becoming stronger!
As this Dao Scripture says, there are no absolutes in this world, and many times, even if it’s a bad thing, it can turn into a good thing!
It depends on how one chooses!
Conversely, many times, a good thing can turn into a bad thing!
This is the variable!
Variables are not in the Heavenly Dao, but in oneself.
Variables, is a cosmic truth, but also a life truth, and, one can control it.
In front of Ye Xuan, there was a hint of complexity in the white-clothed old man’s eyes, “Late-born, you are superior to me back then!”
Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “Senior is too kind!”
The white-clothed old man laughed, “You are indeed superior to me, back then, I was just too obsessed with this Dao Scripture, in fact, this Dao Scripture is a road that others have travelled, however, even if there is no road, we can still come out of a road ourselves! Just like you!”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “This sentence of senior, someone has also said it to junior me!”
A hint of surprise flashed in the white-clothed elder’s eyes, “Someone from outside?”
Ye Xuan nodded his head.
The white-clothed elder smiled faintly, “It seems that there are not many tall people in the world!”
With that, he pointed to the spot in front of Ye Xuan, “Once, a sword cultivator came here.”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “But a sword cultivator dressed in cloud-white robes?”
A hint of surprise flashed through the white-clothed old man’s eyes, “How did you know?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I have his sword, before I came here, this sword sword chirps, I guess it might be its former owner who came here!”
The white-clothed old man laughed, “So that’s how it is! After seeing this person, I suddenly understood a saying, when we feel that this peak is the highest, unbeknownst to us, there are even higher peaks.”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Senior has fought with him?”
The white-clothed elder nodded, “Fought.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Who won and who lost?”
The white-clothed old man laughed, “I lost! I failed to catch one of his swords!”
At those words, Ye Xuan’s expression moved.
That Ye Zhiming also frowned, the strength of the white-clothed old man in front of him should have already reached that level, and he had failed to receive even a single sword from the other party!
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Not even a single sword was received?”
The white-clothed old man nodded, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why?”
The white-clothed old man laughed, “This has to return to one of the most basic truths, one that all of us would ignore.”
Ye Xuan asked, “What?”
The white-clothed old man looked at Ye Xuan, “Extreme!”
Ye Xuan was a little confused, “Extreme?”
The white-clothed old man said softly, “When we do something, even if it is to do a very, very small thing, but if we are able to do it to the extreme, it would be very terrifying. That sword cultivator, he does not cultivate the heart, he does not repair, he does not cultivate the Great Dao, and he does not cultivate the realm, he only cultivates the sword. He doesn’t cultivate the heart, therefore, he is not good or evil; he doesn’t repair, because the sword is the reason, and the reason is the sword; he doesn’t cultivate the great Dao, because the sword is the Dao, and the Dao is his sword; he doesn’t cultivate the realm, and therefore, there is no realm, and therefore, he is not bound by the realm.”
Saying this, he picked up a piece on the chessboard in front of him and placed it outside of the board, and said softly, “He is not within the chessboard, he himself is his own variable. This kind of person, for the multitude of people who are inside the chessboard, he is invincible, because he is outside the chessboard and is not bound by the rules of the chess path. I, on the other hand, am still within the chess board, so for him to kill me, one sword is enough.”
Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Am I also within the chess board?”
Ye Zhiming glanced at Ye Xuan, she hesitated, then said, “Don’t you have a point in your heart?”
Ye Xuan: “…….”
The white-clothed old man laughed, “You are still within the chess board, however, you are now familiar with the rules of the chess board, thus, very few people within this chess board are your opponents. However, you are not invincible, understand?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Understood!”
The white-clothed old man hesitated, then said, “There is one more word, it is not about martial arts, nor is it about the Dao Scriptures, it is some of my own epiphanies, would you be willing to listen to it, post-birthday boy?”
Any fool would know how to choose!
Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “Senior, please speak!”
The white-clothed old man cupped a chess piece in his hand and said softly, “I once gave up too much in pursuit of the so-called Great Dao. Love, affection, friendship …….I used to have all of these, but later, I gave them up because of the so-called Great Dao in my own heart.”
Saying that, he looked towards Ye Xuan and Ye Zhiming, “Young man, mysterious girl, pursuing the great Dao is lonely, unusually lonely, don’t ever give up those who care about you and those you care about for the so-called great Dao in your heart. When one day you come to a certain peak, but find that there is no one around you, that kind of feeling is really hard and uncomfortable, because there is no one to share your joy with you, and there is no one to accompany you together to continue to walk the road in the future. At that time, invincibility is a kind of irony to you, because it is the invincibility of loneliness …….”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Ye Zhiming was silent.
Somewhere in the distant starry sky, a woman in a plain dress suddenly stopped, she took out a small wooden man, looking at the small wooden man in her hand, the corner of her mouth lifted up slightly, then she continued to move forward.
Once, she was invincible, but lonely!
Nowadays, she was still invincible, but not lonely.
