Chapter 225: What Is The Meaning Of Life
While eating here, I separated Wuyou, Liaochen, and Jie Wuchen out. Big Brother, I’m a person who values propriety, so if I call them to fight, why would I ever leave them out when eating? Although the three are one with me, I still have to respect myself, hahaha.
After the three came out, Jin Buque, Xue Pan, and Black and White Impermanence, along with Ox-Head and Horse-Face, began to fight with the three, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
Jin Buque said, “Big Brother Wuyou, aren’t you all one with my Big Brother?”
“Yes, we always have been. When this guy cultivated the ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones’ technique, he separated us three brothers. But in a sense, we are still one person, just separated to experience and cultivate individually. When your Big Brother achieves Dao Union, we will return.”
“Then will you disappear after you go back?” Xue Pan couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Wuyou looked at Chen and Jie Wuchen, and the three exchanged a smile.
Liaochen said, “Amitabha, your Big Brother, even though we are all one, after he separated us, he doesn’t force anything on us except for cultivation and treating all beings kindly. Many times, it’s not that he wants to take us three back, but that we ourselves want to go back. After all, the main body’s cultivation is truly bizarrely outrageous. And we are inherently one, there’s no real distinction between you, me, or him. It’s just that he bestowed us with the characteristic of freedom.”
Hearing Liaochen say this, Xue Pan slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Damn, it’s exactly like that! No wonder I felt like you guys were both like one person with my Big Brother, yet also had your own personalities. So, my Big Brother let you develop freely?”
“Yes,” Jie Wuchen chimed in. “Big Brother is so awesome that even we admire him. You see him acting carefree, not caring who loves whom, but actually, his heart is more delicate and softer than anyone else’s. As he separated us, he also endowed us with some of his own characteristics. Do you think I’m naturally fond of drinking? It’s because Big Brother used to like drinking, and he passed that trait to me.
Liaochen’s cultivation of Buddhism is actually the Buddha Nature of Big Brother being divided. Wuyou is the closest to Big Brother, integrating many of Big Brother’s characteristics. In my estimation, when Big Brother achieves Dao Union, he won’t actually need the three of us; rather, he wants the three of us to become himself. But I truly want to go back, hehehe, because only he is the one who is truly free and unfettered. After returning, although we will become one person again, it will be an incredibly satisfying state.”
Hearing Jie Wuchen’s words, Jin Buque and Xue Pan looked at Big Brother me again, and it was as if Big Brother’s figure grew much, much taller in their eyes.
“Alright, three elder brothers, no matter what, whether you return to my Big Brother’s body or not in the future, we are still sworn brothers. If you need anything, please speak up quickly.”
Jin Buque raised his wine cup towards the three.
“Right, no matter what, although you are separated, you are still the same as my Big Brother. Panzi won’t say much; three elder brothers, I’ll toast you.”
After saying that, Xue Pan, that kid, didn’t wait for everyone’s reaction and downed a bottle of strong liquor.
After this meal, before Wuyou, Liaochen, and Jie Wuchen returned, each of them divided half of their strength to fill me in. The implication was that Big Brother me had been acting as a support in the fight earlier, and these three guys intended to replenish me, to give back to me.
They’re just chatting nonsense. How could I not know what they’re thinking? These three guys want to transfer more strength to me, so that I can’t refuse when I eventually return to the main body.
Wuyou even split half of his mobile phone and left it for me, saying, “Big Brother, this book was written by us together, and those younger brothers and sisters were also taken in by us together. Please take good care of them in the future. While cultivating, please reply often and teach them more when you have time.”
My heart also thought, it’s fine, I’m awesome anyway, damn it~!
As soon as the three left, the phone rang: “Didi Fu Didi, my Big Brother is the most awesome.”
“Are you there, Big Brother?”
“Hmm? What’s wrong? What’s the problem, little brother?”
“Big Brother, I read your book and I feel like I understand a lot, yet I don’t quite grasp it. Big Brother, can you explain to me again what the meaning of life truly is?”
“This life, the meaning is different for everyone, and it’s not the same. My meaning is to build the Wuji Sword Sect and cultivate the Dao. You should also give yourselves a meaning. You need to decide how you want to do things, set a goal and pursue it, and after accomplishing it, move on to the next one. Enjoy the process.”
“What if there’s no goal, Big Brother?”
“If you have no goal, think of one.”
“What if I can’t think of one?”
“Then you should work hard to earn money and join me in the Wuji Sword Sect in the future, you idiot.”
“Hehehe, I understand, Big Brother.”
“Yeah, how you play is how you play. Why bother getting hung up on how to do things? Just set a goal and do it. As you do it, it will gain meaning.”
“Big Brother, I want to work hard to earn money, earn a lot, and then build our Wuji Sword Sect and follow you.”
“Okay, this goal, this meaning, it’s there, isn’t it? What a damn awesome meaning! Then in the future, looking at the gates of the Wuji Sword Sect, we standing there grinning like idiots, wahahahaha, we built it together, and then sitting in the courtyard drinking and bragging, wouldn’t that be great? The Number One Under Heaven Sword Sect, built by us~! Hehehe.”
“Absolutely, Big Brother, I must follow you, hahaha. That sounds incredibly great.”
“Of course, it’ll be great~! At that time, Big Brother will bring you guys to squat in the courtyard like idiots, looking at the beautiful legs of your senior sisters and junior sisters, hehehe, just appreciate them. If you harbor any evil thoughts, you deal with it yourself. Wahahahaha.”
“How do I deal with it, Big Brother? I, I’ll deal with it myself. Do you mean…?”
“Damn~! What are you thinking? I meant for you to eliminate evil thoughts. Are you my Big Brother’s subordinate? Why are you so dense?”
“Hehe, I was wrong, Big Brother. I’ll think properly next time, hahaha.”
“That’s right. Wherever and whenever, cultivate your own righteous heart and righteous mind. Cultivate throughout your life, never lose your Bodhi Heart. Even if you fall into any illusion, you can timely jump out, not controlled by desire or attachment. Otherwise, wouldn’t all your cultivation be in vain?”
“Understood, Big Brother. I will follow Big Brother’s teachings, never lose my Bodhi Heart, and cultivate with a righteous heart and righteous mind.”
“No problem, little brother. Humans are such things; one moment they understand and are righteous, the next they are wicked. What we do is discover it when it’s wicked and guide it back to righteousness. Continue this state. When this state reaches a certain level, there will be no more wickedness. Even if you make mistakes, you can correct them. You won’t fear karma, and the bad karma you’ve sown in the past will also be slowly eliminated in this process.”
“Okay, Big Brother.”
