The game of all races begins, and I alone will prove my immortality!

"What is evil?"

"There is nothing in this world, so how can there be justice and evil?"

"You can define me as evil, and then others can define you as evil too."

"Doesn't that mean everyone is evil?"

Xiaojin: "..."

"This is all nonsense. I've discovered that you, Master, are already terminally ill and there's no hope for you."

"Someone come and rescue you."

Qin Han stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "My heart has never been as peaceful as it is now. No words can affect me."

“This heart is self-sufficient and seeks nothing from without.”

Xiao Jin scratched his head with both hands, "Forget it, Master, where are we going in this life?"

Qin Han: "Wherever I go, that's it. My state of mind is complete, there's no need to search anymore."

Under the setting sun, the two walked slowly forward.

There is a big lake ahead.

A rotten old boat was lying on the lakeside, with birds and small animals playing on it from time to time.

By the side of the boat, two scholars carrying backpacks were standing not far from the boat, discussing something.

A scholar in hemp clothes said, "This boat has been with its owner all his life, braving wind and snow, sailing through waves, and supporting his family. But now it can only lie on the shore like a pile of waste."

"This reminds me of my landlord's cattle. They work hard all their lives, but when they get old or injured, they are slaughtered and served as food for the other party."

"There is nothing more tragic in the world than this."

Another scholar in common clothes laughed and said, "Brother, you are too pessimistic."

"In my humble opinion, this is the best destination for the old ship."

"After a lifetime of hard work, I can now sleep peacefully on the shore in my old age. Staying here every day, watching the vast blue waves and listening to the birds flying towards the forest, it is truly a joy."

"Look, the sun is setting, the lake is sparkling, the fish are jumping in the water, and the birds are singing on the boat. What a beautiful moment."

Sackclothed Scholar: "Different states of mind naturally lead to different perceptions, but I still think this ship is desolate."

"Look at the lake. Several new ships are flying flags and looking majestic. And then look at this old ship. It's in tatters and no one cares about it."

"It reminds me of the passage of time, the decline of generals, the aging of beauties, the rise and fall of dynasties."

"I have only ever seen newlyweds smile, but this world is filled with sadness everywhere."

The two of them were arguing and happened to see Qin Han and his men coming over.

The scholar in commoner clothes immediately went to meet him.

"Looking at your appearance, you should be a learned person."

"I'm going to ask you, brother, what do you think when you see the boat in front of you?"

Qin Han stopped, looked up at the broken boat, and said calmly:

"It's just a decommissioned ship, meaningless?"

"I heard your words from far away."

"All your arguments are nothing more than projections of your own inner thoughts."

“As your heart is, so are your eyes.”

“A hundred people look at the boat, and there are a hundred different moods.”

"But the boat, being here to begin with, doesn't mean anything."

"If you look at it without any emotion, can you still come to the same answer as before?"

"If you treated this ship like an ordinary stone or roadside weed, would you still have that kind of mood?"

When the two heard this, they felt refreshed.

He pulled Qin Han over and started chatting.

This chat lasted all night.

Originally, these two were scholars preparing to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

At the beginning, they were all full of confidence and vowed to make contributions to the country and the people of the world.

But who would have thought that after a night of chatting,

The two were completely conquered and brainwashed by Qin Han.

Early in the morning,

The two reluctantly said goodbye to Qin Han.

One wants to become a monk,

One is going home to continue studying.

No matter how much Xiao Jin tried to persuade him, he wouldn't stop.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. Listening to your words last night, I suddenly felt the vastness of the world and how insignificant I am."

"As the saying goes, if I hear the truth in the morning, I am content to die in the evening. I will go and pursue the truth in my heart."

"The same is true for me. The so-called dynasty and state are just a drop in the ocean under the operation of heaven."

"Thirty thousand years have passed, countless dynasties have occurred, and the so-called people and the country are nothing more than a trivial matter."

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

The two of them were walking in opposite directions, getting further and further away.

Xiao Jin was dumbfounded.

"Master, I'm going to the capital to take the imperial examinations. I'm very likely to pass the exams in the future. Why are you...ah!"

Qin Han: "I didn't interfere with their freedom, nor did I try to persuade them. The path they took was simply a natural choice for them."

"After last night's chat, I also have some insights."

"It seems that I saw something."

As he spoke, Qin Han slowly walked towards the lake.

He closed his eyes and walked straight into the lake.

Some fishermen who were about to go fishing and were getting on their rafts saw this and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"This lake is very deep. If you take another step forward, your life will be in danger. Go back quickly."

But Qin Han seemed to block out everything at this moment.

One foot stepped on the water.

But when his feet stepped on the water, there was an invisible lifting force that prevented his feet from sinking.

After a while, his figure walked more than ten meters into the lake.

"Can it walk on water? Is this a god or a monster?"

The fishermen were dumbfounded, staring at Qin Han, afraid that they had missed something.

On the lake, Qin Han walked further and further away.

Gradually, the whole person seemed to blend into the morning light.

suddenly,

He stopped.

Feeling the breeze blowing across my cheek,

Listen to the sound of waves on the lake.

He whispered:

"The heaven and earth move, but I do not move. This is the ultimate stillness."

“All things contend, but I do not contend; this is the highest good.”

"What is Tao? A mind as still as water."

"What is the Tao? The highest good is like water!"

"There is no meaning in the universe, and there is no meaning in the lives of the people in this world."

"The Tao has no meaning either."

"My heart is like water, that's all."

Qin Han on the water seemed to have entered some strange state.

The black hair turned into black hair in an instant.

The hair crown fell quietly at some point, and the long black hair fluttered in the wind.

His face was extremely calm, as if he wanted to merge with the water surface.

shore,

Xiao Jin was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down.

"Damn it, it's all Senior Wan's fault. Why did he act so crazy when he saw the world and all living beings?"

"That's good now. The master's look clearly shows that he is about to enter the Tao. If this continues, I'm afraid this personality will never change."

Looking at Qin Han gradually transforming on the water,

He gritted his teeth, as if he had made some kind of decision.

At this time,

An old figure stood beside him.

It is the Emperor of Ten Thousand Daos,

He stroked his beard and said, "There are thousands of Dao hearts, and this kid actually realized the Dao heart of Supreme Goodness, which is like water?"

"The highest good is like water. This Daoist heart can only be achieved by letting go of all pursuits."

"Hey, you know what, this works pretty well."
