Wutian entered a state of selflessness, wholeheartedly comprehending that sentence.
At noon.
The two little ones came back from chopping firewood and made lunch. Shao Ling went to call Wutian, but was stopped by Ye Xiuling.
The little girl was also very sensible. She did not disturb Wutian anymore, so she dragged Ye Xiuling and Shao Ling to eat. Both of them were Tenth Tribulation deities, so why would they need to eat to satisfy their hunger? However, they could not refuse the little girl's kindness, so they could only follow.
In the end, they saw that the two plates of wild vegetables were black and mushy. They did not even want to look at them, let alone eat them.
The only plate of venison was also bitter and salty. They could not eat it at all.
Shao Ling sat at the dining table with her head lowered. Her face was red, and she said awkwardly, "Sister, I'm sorry. Brother and I are cooking for the first time, so we don't know anything. Why don't you just eat it?"
Of course, Ye Xiuling would not eat it. She smiled and said, "This kind of food is not good for the body, especially for children like you. It must be clean. I think it's better that I cook some for you. You can't go hungry."
The black-robed old woman frowned and said, "Miss, can you do it?"
"Although I've never cooked before, it's just a meal. It's not difficult for me."
Ye Xiuling smiled and went to the backyard to cook.
In the end, the meal was indeed done, but it was either salty or bland. It was not even cooked.
Ye Xiuling was stunned in front of the table. As a Tenth Tribulation deity, she could not cook a meal. She had never been so embarrassed before.
"Let me do it!"
At this moment, Wutian's light laughter came from outside. He strode into the backyard and put the dishes on the table back into the pot one by one. After a while, three side dishes and a plate of venison were served on the table. The aroma hit the nose, and Ye Xiuling was stunned.
Wutian smiled and said, "You didn't expect that the life of mortals would be so difficult..."
Ye Xiuling smiled bitterly. "I really didn't expect it."
Wutian sat on a stone bench and called out, "Let's eat together. Don't look down on the food of the mortal world. If you taste it carefully, you'll find that it has a different flavor."
"Then it would be impolite to refuse."
Ye Xiuling smiled and sat beside Wutian. She smiled and said, "You should try it too!"
"Miss, I don't need it."
The black-robed old woman waved her hand and looked at the few dishes on the table. There was a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Wutian noticed it clearly, but he didn't care about it. He called the two little ones over and started eating.
Ye Xiuling did not insist. She picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of grass, and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly.
Wutian smiled. "How does it taste?"
Ye Xiuling picked up another piece of venison and swallowed it. "The wild vegetables are a little bitter, and the venison is a little salty."
Wutian smiled faintly and looked at Shao Chen who was wolfing down the food. He said, "Little one, go and bring down a jar of wine and four wine cups."
"Wine?"
Hearing this, Shao Chen's eyes lit up. He ran to the second floor and soon came back with a jar of wine and four wine cups.
Wutian said, "Fill them all up."
After Shao Chen opened the jar and filled the four wine cups, Wutian said with a smile, "Try them all."
Shao Chen and his sister grabbed the wine cups and drank it all. A blush immediately crept up their small faces, and they were enjoying it.
Ye Xiuling looked suspiciously at Wutian. She also picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
Wutian glanced at the three of them and said with a smile, "Now tell me, how does this wine make you feel?"
"Awesome!"
"Awesome!"
This was the answer of the two little ones.
Ye Xiuling frowned and said, "Apart from the fact that it tastes a little bad, I don't feel anything."
Wutian shook his head and said, "Taste it again carefully."
The two little ones filled their wine cups to the brim again, and began to taste it as if they knew how.
Shao Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle, it seems a little spicy and sour."
Shao Ling added, "But after the spiciness, there will be a lingering fragrance in the mouth."
"Spicy? Lingering fragrance? "
Ye Xiuling looked at the wine in the cup in confusion. She put it to her mouth and took a sip. Her eyes lit up and she nodded at Wutian.
Wutian smiled and said, "Then try these side dishes."
"What the hell are you doing?"
Ye Xiuling looked at him in confusion.
The black-robed old woman also looked at Wutian in confusion. What exactly did this little guy buy in his gourd?
Wutian smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after you try it."
"You're so mysterious. If I didn't see you make these dishes with my own eyes, I would suspect that you've poisoned them."
Ye Xiuling rolled her eyes at him. She picked up a piece of wild vegetable and put it in her mouth. She tasted it carefully and a trace of surprise gradually appeared on her face. Then she picked up a piece of venison and tasted it carefully. The surprise on her face grew even stronger.
She put down the bamboo chopsticks and looked at Wutian curiously. She asked, "How can this be? When I ate it just now, it was obviously a little bitter and a little salty. But now, why is it a little sweet with a hint of fragrance? "
"Haha."
Wutian smiled and ate a piece of venison and drank a cup of strong wine. Then he said, "If you don't pay attention to the good wine and delicacies in the world, they're just delicious. But if you taste them carefully with your heart, you can taste the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, and all kinds of flavors. This is one of the many kinds of flavors in the world."
"Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty?"
Ye Xiuling's eyebrow furrowed slightly.
Suddenly, a bright light burst out from her eyes. She said in surprise, "Have you figured out the true meaning of that sentence?"
"Turn your body into a mortal, and your state of mind returns to one.
Taste all kinds of things in the world, and comprehend the profound meaning of life and death. "
Wutian smiled and said, "The true meaning of this sentence is actually very easy to comprehend, but also very difficult."
Ye Xiuling asked, "Why do you say that?"
The black-robed old woman and the two little ones also looked at him curiously.
Of course, Ye Xiuling and the black-robed old woman were really curious, and the two little ones were just there to join in the fun.
"Turn your body into a mortal means to turn yourself into a mortal and completely integrate into the mortal life."
"The state of mind returns to one means to forget all worries and desires, and truly integrate your heart into nature and the mortal world. Let your heart be peaceful and calm, and then use your heart to experience life and enjoy life."
"If it's a person who really has no desires, he can easily see through these two points. But in the world, who can be without desires?"
"Cultivators pursue strength, power, and resources. Ordinary people pursue life and interests. Even the divine monks of Buddhism can't escape the long river of desire. "
"If you can't get rid of your desires, how can you calm your heart?"
"If you can't calm your heart, how can you integrate your heart into the mortal world?"
"If you can't integrate into the mortal world, how can you understand the world? Naturally, you can't comprehend the true meaning of this sentence. "
Wutian said slowly. After saying this, his eyes became different. It was true calmness, without any impurities.
His essence, energy, and spirit had also reached an unprecedented state. He could feel that his spirit was transforming.
"I see."
Ye Xiuling suddenly understood. Only today did she understand that her father's words were actually not profound. It was just that she couldn't calm her heart to comprehend it.
The black-robed old woman said, "Young friend, your words are indeed reasonable, but why is it the mortal world?"
"Everything in the world, everything, comes from the mortal world. The mortal world is both the end and the beginning."
Wutian only said this sentence, then fell silent and drank by himself.
Ye Xiuling and the black-robed old woman lowered their heads, carefully comprehending this sentence.
Shao Ling thought for a moment and said, "I know."
"What do you know?"
Ye Xiuling and the black-robed old woman looked over.
"Uncle Ugly's words mean that this world and this world belong to the mortal world. As for us who are born in this world, no matter how strong we are, we can't escape from this world, which is equivalent to being unable to escape from the mortal world. And when we die and are buried in the earth, this is the end. Being born in this world is the beginning. "
After Shao Ling finished speaking, she turned to Wutian and giggled. "Uncle, am I right?"
"You're very smart."
Wutian rubbed her little head and hugged her to sit on his thigh. He smiled and said, "Some people think that their strength is exceedingly high and that they have already left the mortal world. Just like you, Uncle Ugly, I used to think so. But in reality, I'm still in the mortal world. Even if I break through this world and enter the outer realm, there's still another world restraining us. "
Wutian asked, "Do you know what the mortal world is?"
The little girl shook her head.
Wutian said with a smile, "A place with life is the mortal world. A place with gratitude and grudges is the mortal world. A place with air, water, and dust is the mortal world. A place with light and darkness is still the mortal world."
"So this is the mortal world."
The little girl nodded, seeming to understand. Wutian didn't expect her to understand now. After all, she was still young, only twelve years old. This knowledge was still very far away for her.
But Ye Xiuling and the black-robed old man were suddenly enlightened.
Wutian was right. Everywhere was the mortal world.
Life, gratitude and grudges, air, water, light, dust, light, darkness. Which place didn't have these things?
Even if some special places didn't have life, there would always be air!
And air, this nothingness, could be said to be everywhere and pervasive.
Understanding this point, the two of them sighed with emotion.
Mortal world, a word that people often talked about. It was a pronoun that couldn't be any more ordinary. No one would care about it, and no one would think too much about it. At most, it would be ignored by others. However, such a simple word contained such a profound truth.
The two of them couldn't help but look at Wutian. They were both impressed and shocked. It was as if they were looking at a monster.
Wutian shook his head and smiled, "Don't look at me like that. If it weren't for the past ten years, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend these truths so quickly."
Ye Xiuling rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be modest. If it were someone else with the same conditions as you, they might not be able to comprehend it either."
The black-robed old woman asked, "Little friend, what about the last sentence? What does it mean to comprehend the mysteries of life and death? "
Wutian shook his head, "I haven't comprehended this sentence yet. Maybe my heart isn't calm enough, or maybe it's different from what I imagined. But I have a premonition that once I comprehend this point, I will be reborn."
"You really haven't comprehended it? Or you don't want to tell us? "
Ye Xiuling questioned.
"You always say that I don't believe you. But when have you ever believed me?"
Wutian shook his head, no longer speaking. He didn't take it to heart. After speaking so much, it was time to fill his hungry stomach.
