One is all, and all is one.

Liu Xiaojiang, as an outsider who knows how to practice, is naturally not difficult to understand the meaning of this sentence.

After all, no matter whether it is the power that comes from the inward desire or the ability that is finally mastered after exploring outward, in a sense, it all comes from the "world".

The difference lies only in the "size" of the world and the role it plays in it.

Moreover, the power obtained by these two methods is not so-called strong or weak in essence. It does not mean that if practitioners have absolute control over their own small world, they must be more noble than those who are only important participants in the big world.

Because,

No matter whether you can fully control your own small world or not, you can't live in your own small world forever. You also exist in the scope of the big world as those outside. You also belong to one of the important parts of the big world.

Although the two worlds are different, they are also very similar and may even be closely related.

Therefore, people like Liu Xiaojiang who fully understand themselves and practice enough to completely control themselves can easily understand why those alchemists say such words. On the contrary, they will feel that those guys who just explore and seek power are really smart.

After all, it is easier to understand and gradually control yourself, and then accelerate the understanding of some relatively similar things through their own similarities with the outside world than those who do not understand anything and are just exploring power in the way of "adaptation".

However, this is only Liu Xiaojiang's view from the perspective of "past people". Instead, those practitioners who have not yet understood and controlled themselves, even if they have the experience left by their predecessors, their situation is not much better than those who have been exploring abroad.

Although the ways we use to gain power are slightly different, the ways we walk on our own roads are also very similar, with their own advantages and disadvantages... Just like the relationship between our own small world and the outside world, the end point in front of the road will not be much different.

The transcendence sought by practitioners like Liu Xiaojiang and the "turning over to be the master" hoped by people like alchemists must also be based on the premise of defeating the way of heaven.

"So, I advise you to stop thinking and concentrate on what's in front of you. After all, the past history... Is enough to prove that the existence of justice is not only powerful but also extremely reasonable."

When Gabriel saw that Liu Xiaojiang didn't speak, he took the initiative to comfort him and said, "don't always think about things like my life is from me and not from heaven. The 'reincarnation' of heaven is there... Everything has been arranged in advance as early as the birth of people's respective consciousness."

"Well, it's not a bad thing to have a little rebellious spirit. After all, justice is fairly fair after all. It gives everyone the same basic limit of fate, so in theory... Beggars and kings are no different in their eyes."

"On the contrary, the kind of framework system built by people themselves finally makes a great difference between people, and even themselves... Curbs other peers who have a low start and have the possibility of being on an equal footing with themselves in the future."

"It is indeed an unconscious existence." Liu Xiaojiang thought about it and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Yes, but it is precisely because of unconsciousness that as long as the setting is reasonable, it is absolutely fair in the real sense... And absolutely unfair." Gabriel knew Liu Xiaojiang's bad attitude towards human beings, so he didn't have to say what he meant.

"If justice is absolutely fair, we shouldn't be willing to let them continue to be the dominant group in this world after witnessing the evils of mankind."

"If justice is absolutely unfair, it will not set the same fate foundation for every human being, so there will be beggars and kings in the human group from the beginning."

"But the fact is that it is both fair and unfair, just maintaining a balance in its own way..."

"Its preferential treatment to human beings is just that compared with other creatures, human beings are more suitable to be the dominant group in this world, and do not continue to subdivide human beings... It shows that it has no special ideas about human beings themselves."

"Order, stability, balance..." Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help laughing and said:

"Although I know very well that God is unconscious, I sometimes doubt whether it has affected mankind. After all, after having the dominant position in the world, there are many human mistakes... But there are always people who will stand up and point out their own mistakes."

"Maybe..." Gabriel heard the speech and pondered a little and said: "this is the main reason why Tianli chose human beings in the beginning. Anyway, Tianli has consciousness and still guides human beings behind it... It's impossible to see it anyway."

"After all, if Tianli really has consciousness and takes the initiative to guide mankind behind it, then mankind... Should not be like this now. At least, there will be a balance between good and evil, and all kinds of negative factors will not gradually occupy the majority over time."

"That's true." Liu Xiaojiang obviously agrees with this statement. He also does not think that the Tao of heaven has a living consciousness. Otherwise, it is impossible to maintain a state that is both fair and unfair. On the contrary, it is easier to be as impartial as a creature.

"So..." Gabriel looked at Liu Xiaojiang with great interest and said, "you have given up that unrealistic idea now?"

"Impractical..." Liu Xiaojiang repeated Gabriel's evaluation of his ideas, and then said:

"Then take it as if I'm just saying it casually. After all, according to what even I agree with at present, it's really difficult for me to get rid of the world and live in the world with all the people around me, but I'll never be affected by it."

"However, if I'm really sure about this in the future, I'm sure I'll still want to have a try..."

"Your idea is very dangerous." Seeing that Liu Xiaojiang still didn't change his attitude, Gabriel couldn't help but frown and remind him again:

"It's dangerous for you and Erzhuang."

"I see what you mean." Liu Xiaojiang nodded and said, "that's why I said that when I'm really sure, I'll choose to test this matter. If I really fail in the future, the price that needs to be paid... Will also be controlled within an acceptable range."

"Why?" Although Gabriel hasn't been in contact with Liu Xiaojiang for a long time, she does see Liu Xiaojiang's personality clearly in this inner scene, which can only "communicate with each other", so it's inevitable to doubt why Liu Xiaojiang always wants to stick to this kind of thing for no reason.

After all, in her eyes, Liu Xiaojiang should be a cautious and promising guy. What he really wants is to live in peace and stability. It is impossible to take such a big risk and choose to escape without pressure.

In other words

From Gabriel's point of view, Liu Xiaojiang's idea at the moment is really not Liu Xiaojiang, but more like a "martial madman" who only cares about cultivation and strength!

"I don't know why." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and slowly opened his mouth to explain.

"Just because of my original experience, I always feel that there is a sword hanging above my head, but I have to deceive myself to be at ease... Once there is any accident, I will fall into passivity."

Therefore, in order not to let accidents affect themselves, and to live in peace in the future, at least we should turn that sword into foam.

"......." Gabriel.

Then, seeing that Gabriel no longer insisted on stopping himself, Liu Xiaojiang got up from the sofa and habitually stretched his waist, saying:

"Well, it's almost time to calculate. I should get up and prepare meals for Erzhuang. I'm lonely... Just call me at any time."

"... Oh, an existence called disaster outside, but recently suddenly likes cooking like an ordinary person. I think you have no money in the future. It seems good to be a cook outside." Gabriel sat on the sofa and looked at Liu Xiaojiang strangely.

"Better not." Liu Xiaojiang shrugged at Gabriel and said:

"Don't you understand that once a hobby becomes a job that must be dealt with every day, it won't be so easy to get bored, but sooner or later it will gradually kill all the interest."

See this,

Gabriel lay lazily on the sofa, then remembered a movie line he had seen recently, and then smiled with schadenfreude and said:

"Making money is not shabby."

"Don't..." Liu Xiaojiang still shook his head reluctantly, then looked at Gabriel with a smile and said: "isn't there another Gabriel? I'm not a person who can't get in and out with such a large resource in my hand."

"... Gee, I haven't agreed to accept you as a dry son. As a result, you are already thinking about family property now?" Gabriel of course knew that Liu Xiaojiang was talking about himself, so he shrugged and said.

"Well, you and I are symbiotic. What are you doing now? Isn't yours mine?" Liu Xiaojiang obviously doesn't even want his face in front of money.

Make money, not shabby!

"Do I want to live with you?"

"Hey, hey, but this is reality after all. Even if I reshape your body in the future, it is equivalent to the concept of 'separation' in a sense..."

"Go away! Go away! I don't want to see you now!"

"OK! Just give me the money! You let me go east! I will never go west!"

"Go away!!!"

……

early morning,

Liu Xiaojiang lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. He thought of Gabriel's appearance that he wanted to strangle himself, but he was completely helpless. In his heart, don't mention how happy he was.

If he wasn't afraid of waking up Erzhuang, who was still sleeping around him, he even wanted to get up and dress while humming a little song, then go out of the room and prepare breakfast for others by himself, so as to directly open another new and beautiful life for himself.

However, no matter how light Liu Xiaojiang's movements are, er Zhuang on the bed seems to feel something. Then he opens his bleary eyes and looks at Liu Xiaojiang who is already dressed, and his consciousness inevitably opens his mouth in a trance:

"Well... It's so early again. I'm so tired last night. Don't sleep more. Just order takeout for breakfast."

"Anyway, there's nothing important recently. You can't order takeout for three meals a day." Liu Xiaojiang looked at Er Zhuang, who was lying in bed and didn't remember, and smiled:

"Go to bed again. I'll wake you up when the food is ready."

"Hmm..." Er Zhuang won't say more when he gets such an answer. After all, Liu Xiaojiang doesn't go out to do anything bad when he gets up so early, and he really likes to eat the food cooked by the other party.

Liu Xiaojiang's craftsmanship is needless to say. People who practice are easier to concentrate than ordinary people, and their behavior control is far more stable than ordinary people. Even if they can't compare with the chef of the hotel, cooking is not so bad that people can't swallow it.

Ordinary home cooking, as long as you are serious... With your heart.

Besides

Cooking at home will give people a feeling that they are living a stable life, and Erzhuang doesn't hate this time of living in peace with Liu Xiaojiang. On the contrary... She even hopes that such days can continue.

……

A moment later,

Liu Xiaojiang went upstairs and knocked on the door to check the status of Feng Baobao and Liu Yanyan's second daughter. Immediately, he left the foreign house with the bamboo basket he had bought from the village market. Like a housewife, he was ready to buy some fresh ingredients in the morning market.

Then, according to the types of fresh ingredients, come back and decide which dish to try today

Squeak

"Ah! Big brother! Are you going to buy vegetables in the morning market today?"

Just as Liu Xiaojiang opened the door of the foreign house, he saw a small figure jump out. His little face was full of expectation, as if he was waiting for himself.

"Well, if there is no accident, I should go every day."

"Hey, hey, big brother... Can I go with you every day?" The little girl is the child of a family in the village. She had several exchanges with Liu Xiaojiang when playing in the village.

Young... Coupled with the self familiar character that is not afraid of outsiders, people who come and go always meet and get familiar with Liu Xiaojiang and others.

The reason why she waited outside for Liu Xiaojiang to come out was, of course, that when Liu Xiaojiang had experienced life in the morning market before, she saw the other party staring at the breakfast stalls several times, so she invited the other party to sit on the stalls with her for dinner several times.

Before every day 'encounter', naturally also because I like this handsome big brother who is always willing to invite himself to dinner

"Of course, as long as your family doesn't object, come to me whenever you want to eat. Even after the opening time of the village market, I can cook something delicious for you myself." Liu Xiaojiang looked at the little girl with a gentle face. Everyone looked like a gentle big brother next door.

"Well, thank you, big brother! Let's go quickly! The wonton will be sold out in a while!"

"OK..."
