Say goodbye to me
"..." Jiang Jingyuan was instantly speechless and thought to himself, "Jiang Jingjian, why are you so serious? I'm saying this just to make you feel better!"
Jiang Jingyuan said nothing and glanced at the person next to him several times. He lowered his head and pursed his lips for a long time without saying a word.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have a problem, just say the problem..." Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth and thought, "What's the use of emotions..."
"This is Jiang Jingjian, this is Jiang Jingjian..." Jiang Jingyuan took a deep breath and muttered to herself. If it were someone else who pulled this trick, she would have turned around and left. But it was Jiang Jingjian... Jiang Jingjian had taken care of her for so long, so it was only right that she should have a proper discussion with him now.
Jiang Jingyuan calmed down and said softly, "Jiang Jingjian, I wanted to tell you just now that I will come back once a month or two."
Jiang Jingjian's eyelashes trembled and he slowly raised his head.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded at him seriously and said, "Of course I had to come back to see how you were doing, and then..."
"Get some food, clothes and stuff." Jiang Jingjian took over her words expressionlessly.
Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
You see it but don’t say it out loud. Jiang Jingjian, you were not like this before!
Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth and shed tears in his heart, but he remained calm and said in a low voice: "Incidentally."
I think I'm the incidental one... Jiang Jingjian glanced at her and snorted. He asked, "Where are you going? Which mountain?"
Jiang Jingyuan paused and thought to himself, "If I tell you, what's the difference between that and me being in Diqu City?"
Jiang Jingyuan then assured, "Jiang Jingjian, I will definitely come back as soon as possible! I will come back as soon as I feel stable!"
Jiang Jingjian pursed his lips and said, "One month."
Jiang Jingyuan paused, then opened his mouth hesitantly: "But, you, don't be too rigid, you have to give me a little flexibility..."
"Half a month." Jiang Jingjian said expressionlessly, "Otherwise, don't go."
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
"One month." Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth and agreed.
Jiang Jingjian snorted at her again and said sullenly, "Call them back and you can leave. You don't want to stay here anyway."
Jiang Jingyuan also made a "tsk" sound in his heart.
But she called Jiang Weiji back from afar, then moved a chair to herself next to him, "I'm tired of staying in Diqu City, but Jiang Jingjian is here, I want you to accompany me, Jiang Jingjian." She smiled obediently.
"Really?" Jiang Jingjian turned his head to look at her.
Jiang Jingyuan felt his gaze on her back creep out, and a bad feeling suddenly emerged in her heart. Her heart was trembling, and she thought frantically, "This is it! Is Jiang Jingjian going to follow me into the deep mountains and old forests?!"
"Heh." Jiang Jingjian sneered, retracted his gaze, lowered his head and continued to search through the pages of the book on the table.
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
Jiang Jingyuan shut up and sat quietly in the chair.
…………
“People always like to use something to prove something, and they must use certain conditions to prove what they or others are like.”
"I want to ask you, if you have nothing, can you still say that you are the best and most perfect?"
That familiar, silent voice echoed in her mind, seemingly coming from somewhere slightly above and to her right. It was as if someone had stood behind her for a long time, watching what she saw, listening to what she heard, walking behind her, following her every step, and then slowly speaking softly.
...talk to her and answer her questions.
Pursuing that question and wanting to answer it sincerely, Jiang Jingyuan slowly walked out of Diqu City, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, said goodbye to himself, and walked step by step into the mountains and forests.
"I know everything about you. Before you even ask a question, I already know it all. Look at me, listen to me, and I will answer everything for you."
"Know all about me..."
"I know. If someone said this to you, or if you realized this, you would definitely stay away from him without hesitation and cut off everything between you—because he is either too dangerous or a blindly arrogant fool."
"Silly...you're so direct..."
"I've said before, I am you, your guide, your guiding spirit, your essence. I talk to you, you talk to yourself, so what's wrong with being direct and straightforward?"
"Should I believe you? How can I be sure what you say is true?"
"It doesn't matter."
“……?”
"You have your own judgment. If I give you so-called evidence, will you believe it? If you find my words peaceful and beneficial, then you can listen. If, on the other hand, you feel fear, anger, or something else, then don't listen. Don't ask whether you can believe it or not. You have your own judgment."
Jiang Jingyuan paused, then suddenly smiled, "That's it."
If the words are full of threats and intimidation, even if God tells her to do it, she will not pay attention or believe it.
Therefore, she didn't care who He was, as long as He was beneficial to her, she would listen. If one day she disagreed with what He said, she could always stop listening.
Jiang Jingyuan, dressed in simple white clothes and holding an umbrella, slowly walked deep into the forest. It was clear that she had never walked this road before, but she walked with confidence, talking to the voice in her mind as she walked.
"We will definitely arrive." The voice said firmly, and then asked her, "What is the road?"
Jiang Jingyuan thought for a moment, then answered rather irrelevantly:
“I used to think that if I wanted to get to a certain place, I had to take the path that led to that place to get there—a specific path. I thought I had to take a specific path to get to a specific place, and I couldn’t deviate from it even a little bit, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get there.”
"What now?" He asked.
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a while, then said awkwardly, "I don't know. I feel... I haven't completely cleared the fog yet."
“Then wait for you to clear away the clouds,” He said.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment. "You won't tell me? Didn't you say you would explain everything to me?"
"Of course I can tell you right now, but I hope that you will suddenly ask the same question at some point and then seek the answer. That will truly be your own."
He said, "In fact, many people have asked the same questions before and have received answers. You can listen to their answers, but you must know that the understanding you get after listening is only a clear understanding of the mind, and some things cannot be fully understood by the mind."
He emphasized, “Only the questions you ask yourself and then receive answers to are truly your own—some answers are different from others’.” He added, “But if you want me to answer you now, I can tell you.”
Jiang Jingyuan paused and said, "No need for now." A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "I have a hunch that I will be able to part the clouds and mist and catch it soon."
"You will," He said. "Keep going. There are many things there that will benefit you right now. There is a little fox waiting impatiently."
Jiang Jingyuan said "hmm" and walked forward around the flowers, plants and trees.
Jiang Jingyuan walked up the slope, then suddenly paused, turning to look far behind her. In the distance, there were pavilions, towers, people laughing and crying, and other living beings. Her aimless glance had never been so profound, as if she wanted to carefully imprint the entire scene into her mind.
"They are crying and laughing..." Jiang Jingyuan murmured unconsciously in his heart.
A soft voice echoed in my mind, "They are grateful to themselves and others, or resentful of themselves and others."
"Should it be? Shouldn't it be? Is it good? Is it bad?" Jiang Jingyuan asked.
He replied, "The judgment is yours. Existence is existence."
"Have you ever seen what fate looks like?" He said, "I am different in every period. I can be irritable and then calm, and then calm and then irritable. I can be chaotic and then clear and lucid, and then clear and lucid and then suddenly chaotic again. Only when the next suitable opportunity comes, I suddenly wake up and wonder how I could have been so chaotic before..."
Jiang Jingyuan turned around and continued walking up.
"And a person's destiny isn't just determined by themselves," the voice in his head continued. "Who will support you and make you successful? Who will act as the villain in your destiny, allowing you to grow? Who will compare you to others?"
He said, "So how can we hate?"
"They are helpless in their own destiny, and they become a cornerstone of yours. Limited by your limitations, you believe they or yourself are at fault, but who is truly at fault?" He said, "Right and wrong are human. I am explaining it to you in a way that humans can understand and accept."
"Isn't that a human explanation?" Jiang Jingyuan asked, then said, "I walked all the way into the mountains and forests to become an immortal."
He said, "Keep going. I told you there are many, many questions and answers there."
Jiang Jingyuan felt a strange feeling in her heart, inexplicably feeling that He was too lazy to explain such basic questions to her. She then said "Oh", thinking that this was a good thing, and hurried forward.
call--
Jiang Jingyuan felt as if he had walked to a certain point, with a breeze blowing on his face, and the scene in front of him suddenly became blurred and distorted.
In an instant, a vast expanse of white stretched across her vision, stretching towards the clear sky in the distance. Within it, slender black tree trunks pierced through the sky and earth.
Jiang Jingyuan stood in the snow. The soft snow under her feet scattered. She steadied her body and stood firmly on the solid snow layer beneath the soft snow.
The cold wind blew against her.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his hand and took out a plush white embroidered cloak and covered himself with it.
"Why are you so slow!"
A fiery red fox with two white stripes beneath its round, black eyes appeared on a rock not far ahead of her. Its furry tail slapped the snow, and it complained impatiently.
Are you impatient to wait? Your character isn't very good... Jiang Jingyuan swallowed his words silently, paused, took out a plush cloak and walked forward, saying softly: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Isn't it cold outside?"
The red fox's already round black eyes suddenly widened even further, and its four feet unconsciously dug into the huge stone under its feet. Looking at the girl in white who was gradually approaching, it suddenly forgot to complain and stammered:
"No, no, I'm not cold. I'm born under the element of fire. I'm not cold. There's no need to..."
Jiang Jingyuan had already wrapped the plush cloak around it. He looked at it, smiled at it, and asked, "It seems that it's not easy for you to walk like this. Can I carry you?"
The red fox couldn't help but blush, pressed his ears back, avoided looking, and said shyly: "No, no need..."
Jiang Jingyuan picked it up and said to it gently and seriously, "I will be careful and will never let you fall."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." The red fox was wrapped in a plush cloak and was held in her arms. His eyes suddenly met hers and he lowered his eyes in panic, blushing and agreeing casually.
Jiang Jingyuan walked forward, looking ahead, and asked, "I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to ask you. What's your name, little fox?"
The red fox lowered its ears and whispered, "Shengliang..."
"Shengliang." Jiang Jingyuan immediately called it with a smile.
The little fox buried its head even lower in an instant.
Jiang Jingyuan looked down at it, the smile on his face faded but became more genuine. He thought to himself that he would never have imagined that one day he would practice Taoism with a little fox.
