"What is your purpose?" Fu Yue was confused.
He Jun said, "I just thought it was fun. I wanted to see if anyone would come to the misty forest to look for treasure just because of a rumor."
Fu Yueli couldn't understand it even more, "Then what?"
"Then? Seeing them come to the cave to die in order to seek immortality, I think it's ridiculous. Humans are such stupid animals." He Jun said contemptuously.
Fu Yueli was becoming increasingly confused. He found himself unable to comprehend He Jun's strange thoughts at all. "Then why are you here to retrieve this meteorite now?"
"Just taking back what belongs to me, do I need a reason? You really have a lot of questions." He Jun smiled faintly.
Seeing that he refused to explain what the meteorite was used for, Fu Yueli knew that the meteorite must be something extraordinary. In short, He Jun could not be allowed to take it away.
"Hand over the stone." Fu Yueli said sternly.
Xu Ziling didn't move, and He Jun suddenly said, "Come out, cute kids."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yueli heard a rustling sound, which seemed to be the subtle sound made by reptiles crawling across the ground. He looked around and saw many snakes running out from somewhere, hissing and spitting out their tongues, and surrounded him.
Fu Yueli drew his sword, ready to kill them.
He Jun sighed heavily, his voice tinged with hatred: "Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are extremely spiritual animals, it's a pity that they were forced to death by you."
It turned out that He Jun was still brooding over the death of the black and white snakes. Fu Yueli thought that the two snakes were indeed very loyal, so he committed suicide in the end.
A snake pounced on him, and Fu Yueli cut it in half with a sword, and the upper half flew away.
Just as the snakes surrounded him, He Jun took Xu Ziling away, and they took a deeper path.
After Fu Yueli got rid of the snakes, Gao Siyuan also came with his men, as well as Fu Baiheng and others who had woken up.
Seeing the snake bodies on the ground, everyone was extremely puzzled. Fu Yueli did not explain much. They chased after them and found that there was indeed a road over there, but the road went around in a big circle before reaching the entrance of the cave.
Finally, they left the canyon and went up to the top. Fu Yueli came up first, but found that Shi Mingyue was gone, and the remaining Gao Siqi and soldiers fainted on the ground.
He almost lost his balance. If Gao Siyuan hadn't helped him, he would have probably fallen directly from the canyon.
After waking Gao Siqi up, she said in frustration, "I saw someone coming up and thought it was you, but that person was so skilled in martial arts that he knocked me out in one go."
Fu Yueli could confirm that it was He Jun who took Shi Mingyue away, and he immediately tracked him down.
Fu Baiheng was also filled with mixed emotions. Xu Ziling had assured him that at the bottom of the canyon in the mist forest lay the Green Valley Red Cloud, which could grant immortality. Turns out she'd been lying. Could it be that her goal wasn't to study immortality, but something else?
There was the sound of birds singing, and Shi Mingyue slowly woke up and found herself lying in a wooden house. She immediately remembered what happened before she fell into a coma. Xu Ziling and a stranger climbed up from the bottom of the canyon, and the stranger knocked Gao Siqi unconscious!
She got up in a hurry and found that she was not tied up. She tried to escape in a hurry, but when she reached the door, she stopped.
A monk with extraordinary elegance and beauty in white robes walked in from outside. It was He Jun.
"Why are you here?" Shi Mingyue was completely confused about the current situation.
He Jun smiled faintly: "Because I brought you here."
"What did you say!" Shi Mingyue was shocked. She remembered that he was with Xu Ziling, and when they first met, he also said that he was looking for Xu Ziling.
He Jun held a bowl of hot porridge in his hand and said, "You must be hungry, eat it."
Shi Mingyue certainly wouldn't eat it. She asked in confusion, "Then what do you want to do by bringing me here?"
"Do you still remember the long talk we had that day?" He Jun suddenly asked.
Shi Mingyue remembered that she discussed Buddhism with He Jun and asked him many questions.
"I have the answer to your question that day about how to view everything as fleeting as a dream, like dew or lightning."
"What is it?"
"Humans are very small in the universe, and the universe is endless. A person's life is just a short moment in the countless years of the universe, or it can be said to be not worth mentioning. That's why the Diamond Sutra says that it is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, like dew or lightning, which flashes and disappears in an instant. So people should live in indulgence and why worry about other things." He Jun replied.
Shi Mingyue was silent for a moment and said, "Everyone knows that life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can." What she meant was that she thought He Jun's answer was completely useless.
"That's right, but who really lives a life of indulgence? People in this world are subject to various constraints, and no one is absolutely free. Even the happiest person in life will have regrets." He Jun sighed.
How could Shi Mingyue not understand this truth? "So?"
"So I am living as I please now, and I brought you here because it is my wish."
"Is this your wish?" Shi Mingyue was a little confused.
He Jun said: "Do you know why you were reborn?"
“Because of the prayer wheel?”
"Then do you know why, except for you and Qin Zheng, no one else can be reborn, only you can?"
"I don't know." Shi Mingyue really didn't understand.
He Jun gestured to the porridge in her hand: "I'll tell you after I finish eating."
Shi Mingyue thought for a moment, took the bowl of porridge and ate it quickly.
He Jun turned and walked out, "Follow me."
Shi Mingyue followed and realized that they were in a beautiful valley with green trees, flowers, birds and butterflies.
He Jun stretched out his hand, as if calling for something. A butterfly flew towards him slowly from a distance and gently landed between his fingers.
“Let me ask you, why do butterflies fly?”
This question puzzled Shi Mingyue. Why can butterflies fly? Isn't it because they have wings?
"It's alive, and it has wings." She thought for a long time and could only answer this way.
He Jun did not comment on her answer, but continued to ask: "What keeps it alive? What makes it grow wings? Why don't humans grow wings?"
Shi Mingyue felt that each of these questions was more difficult than the last. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"Because of nature, the laws of nature determine that the body structures of humans and butterflies are different, and determine the lifespan of living things."
Shi Mingyue seemed to understand. She asked, "If that's the case, then doesn't rebirth go against the laws of nature?"
"No, rebirth is also within the scope of natural law."
"I do not understand."
"What a person knows is only things within a limited circle, and what is outside the circle is unknown." He Jun said slowly.
