After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

The classroom is now empty; it's completely deserted, with not a single person in it.

Zhao Ya looked at the blackboard opposite the podium and said.

"When I passed by here, I saw you drawing on the blackboard. You know what? I fell in love with you at first sight because of how serious you were, but I... was too embarrassed to say it."

Xu Sheng stared at the blackboard. Er

"Senior... shall I... draw another blackboard bulletin for you?" Jiu

Zhao Ya released Xu Sheng's hand. Xu Sheng went to another classroom and brought back several boxes of chalk. He then found desks and chairs, stacked them up, stood in place, and slowly began writing on the blackboard with the chalk in hand.

Under the influence of his newly awakened Triadic Wisdom, Xu Sheng saw countless thoughts of his rising up. These crystal-like thoughts converged into a vast river, flowing through Xu Sheng's mind, making him feel as if he had returned to fifty years ago, to a certain afternoon when, under the sunlight, he stood in front of the blackboard with chalk in hand, drawing his class's blackboard newspaper stroke by stroke.

At the time, Xu Sheng didn't think much of the blackboard bulletin, but now he felt it. There was a "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for someone special) standing behind him as he wielded the chalk, and his affection for her had gone from indifferent to overflowing.

And yet, he was completely unaware, which is utterly heinous.

...crow

In the distance, on the rooftop of a tall building.

Little Yama looked at the classroom where Xu Sheng was and clicked his tongue.

"Is this how Bai Ze used to flirt with men?"

Xiao Yanjun felt that, given Xu Sheng's current state of being moved, he probably wouldn't refuse if Zhou Yan asked him to commit suicide for love.

Combat:

Chapter 715, Chapter Forty-Three: Buying

Inside the classroom.

Standing on the desk, Xu Sheng kept moving the chalk back and forth on the blackboard.

More than fifty years have passed since Xu Sheng graduated from school, and he could hardly remember anything from the past. But now, after practicing Buddhist supernatural powers and gaining a thorough understanding of the wisdom of distinguishing between name and form, the wisdom of the wisdom of the perception of conditions, the wisdom of contemplating the three aspects, and the wisdom of the three doors of contemplation, his past memories have been gradually unearthed.

Xu Sheng felt as if he had returned to fifty years ago, to his early twenties, when he was full of vigor and felt like the whole world was in his hands.

At that age, one has the mind and feelings of youth, and at that age, one also has the culture of that age.

Roses bloomed among the chalk Xu Sheng held, and among the roses, a dreamlike girl sat on the ground, her white lace dress scattered around. The pure, messy, and childlike scene leaped onto the blackboard.

Fifty years ago, a movie called "The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers" appeared in major cinemas, which then ignited the entire Eastern Xia Federation. Everyone flocked to watch the movie. Fang Lirong, a newcomer who played the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, immediately defeated several veteran divas and became the most sought-after star at the time.

Of course, in the entertainment industry where the turnover rate might not even be four times a year, this once wildly popular "jade girl" star has, fifty years later, become a term that only historians and professional filmmakers would bother to look at.

Xu Sheng drew a line across the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers' head, then used a white pen to draw tiny points of starlight above the black and white area, and within the starlight, he drew a spaceship with hard edges and a complex structure.

This is another example of the Evangelion Unit-01 from the popular science fiction film "Star Wars," which featured the protagonist piloting it to defeat the enemy leader and save humanity.

Back then, half the boys in the entire university liked the Flower Fairy, and all the boys liked Evangelion. They all dreamed of flying their own planes to Earth to defeat those evil aliens who were preparing to plunder Earth's resources.

Next was a river that was famous at the time, a quote from a great man, and several movie and animation characters that occupied a significant place in Xu Sheng's mind.

Xu Sheng wasn't just drawing a blackboard bulletin; he was practically painting his entire first half of life onto the blackboard.

My own love, my own anger, my own beauty, my own youth—all of it has passed away, but the memories that remain have all been transformed into concrete objects, leaving enough traces wherever they could be.

In a person's life, there are actually not many things that can be remembered and resonate with. After the last word was written, Xu Sheng looked at the words and patterns he had drawn on the blackboard, and his seventy years of life seemed to have drawn a dark curtain.

But the curtain closed as Yi Sheng's light laughter ceased, and Xu Sheng subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the laughter.

Nine, he saw Zhao Ya.

4 This former goddess's face is weathered and wrinkled, and she has lost her youthful beauty. However, her clear eyes are not cloudy, but rather extremely bright.

8. "Inside this blackboard bulletin."

A deep sadness flickered in Zhao Yaming's bright eyes.

"What if I weren't here..."

Xu Sheng snapped the piece of chalk in his hand. Whether you call it regret or pity, you're already this old. If you miss something, you miss it. There's nothing more to say.

In Xu Sheng's life, Zhao Ya was nothing more than his white moonlight.

"so……"

Zhao Ya tucked her hair behind her ear. Although she was a woman in her seventies, this gesture was delicate and feminine, which made Xu Sheng feel bitter.

Zhao Ya won't live more than a month.

"Junior, could you draw a blackboard bulletin for me?"

"This time, I have to be the main character!"

Zhao Ya's tone became lively and coquettish, and Xu Sheng once again felt a wave of dizziness. Zhao Ya's coquettish tone made the old man suddenly see the whole world's time flowing backward, and his white hair, wrinkled skin, and age spots on his body gradually disappeared.

The surrounding environment alternated between light and darkness rapidly.

Xu Sheng didn't know how many times he had returned to the past in a daze, but he knew that at this moment, in his eyes, Zhao Ya had become the most beautiful senior from fifty years ago, the senior who had missed his chance to be with him, the senior who looked at him gently while he was drawing the blackboard newspaper, and waited for him until graduation.

Anticipation, joy, regret, and pain—all these emotions mingled with the meeting. Xu Sheng turned around and wiped away the most memorable figures, spaceships, and various scenes from his life. He remembered the intense emotions in his heart and the beautiful memories of Zhao Ya, his "white moonlight," and slowly painted his own outpouring onto the pure black of the underworld.

Countless thoughts of crystal rose and converged in Xu Sheng's mind. Xu Sheng concentrated his mind like never before, discarding a lot of distracting thoughts and ignoring a lot of external information.

Fifty years of regret and longing made the old man more focused than ever before. As a result, Xu Sheng also saw the crystal-clear thoughts being born and destroyed within his own mind.

It contains scenes of Xu Sheng wanting to possess Zhao Ya, wanting to have sex with her, wanting to commit suicide with her, and wanting to travel the world with her while she's still alive.

Countless thoughts converged and coalesced around the name Zhao Ya, both good and bad, appearing and then vanishing one by one. Yet, even in their disappearance and decay, these thoughts still released their inherent spiritual power.

Xu Sheng coldly observed all these thoughts. Having lived for over seventy years, Xu Sheng knew that both Taoism and Buddhism emphasized sudden enlightenment, but he never expected that he would achieve two such enlightenments in just one day.

After his previous awakening of the Threefold Wisdom, Xu Sheng could see his thoughts like crystals, each one blooming in his spiritual realm. Now, Xu Sheng can grasp these crystals of consciousness and control the spiritual power they unleash between their birth and death.

Xu Sheng then comprehended the fourth type of insight—the insight into birth and death.

This kind of insightful wisdom allows practitioners to witness their true nature, ensuring that their future spiritual path will not stray and that they will not be misled by negative thoughts and ideas.

At the same time, it can also greatly develop the mental power within the mind.

Xu Sheng's chalk stopped writing on the blackboard, and his focused attention slowly began to relax.

A gasp of surprise escaped Xu Sheng's lips.

Xu Sheng also looked up, his mouth slightly agape, at the drawing on the blackboard in front of him.

When Xu Sheng comprehended the wisdom of the arising and ceasing of phenomena, he gathered all the beautiful memories of Zhao Ya from his mind and painted the white moonlight in his heart.

Zhao Ya was very beautiful when she was young; otherwise, Xu Sheng wouldn't have loved this senior for decades. But the problem is, Zhao Ya in the blackboard photo is too beautiful.

With an exquisitely perfect face, eyes so clear and bright that even a blackboard couldn't hide their brilliance, and long hair past his shoulders, Xu Sheng wasn't just drawing this time; he was expressing positive words like beauty, purity, kindness, and loveliness through his paintings.

Xu Sheng looked down at his hands.

After attaining the insight into the arising and ceasing of phenomena, his control over his mind and body reached a significantly higher level. Simultaneously, because he could control all thoughts and ideas, his comprehension and thinking abilities were greatly enhanced. (Wu)

This is why, when his supernatural powers appeared, he was able to create this work of art with absolute focus.

Zhao Ya walked over to Xu Sheng's side and said happily.

"So, in your heart, I am this beautiful?"

Xu Sheng put down the chalk in his hand and said sadly.

"Actually, it's even more beautiful."

Zhao Ya's face flushed.

"If you had been as quick-witted as I was before, you would have married me long ago."

Xu Sheng said earnestly.

“I’m telling the truth, not a single lie.”

Zhao Ya joked.

"Okay, I underestimated you. You don't need half, just a tenth would have been enough to make me and you pledge our lives to each other back then."

Footsteps approached the classroom, and as if they had seen people inside, two college students from the same university opened the door. The two students first looked at Xu Sheng and Zhao Ya with curiosity, and then focused their attention on the blackboard.

The two students immediately showed expressions of amazement.

Wow! It's so beautiful!?

"Grandpa, are you a live streamer? Your paintings are amazing!"

Zhao Ya looked displeased. Xu Sheng didn't want to argue with these seemingly enthusiastic students, so he got off his desk, took Zhao Ya's hand, and led her to the back door of the classroom. He then opened the door and left in a hurry.

After visiting Xu Shengba's classroom, he went to another literature college and arrived at Zhao Yadang's classroom.

Unlike the classroom where Xu Sheng studied, which is now abandoned, Zhao Ya's classroom is still in use. When the two elderly people arrived, the classroom was half full, and an old professor was telling literary allusions at the podium.

Zhao Ya stood outside the classroom door, glancing sideways at the students inside.

Xu Sheng stood quietly beside Zhao Ya, occasionally glancing at her with his eyes. This time, following Zhao Ya, Xu Sheng had two moments of enlightenment, gaining the wisdom of observing birth and death and the wisdom of contemplating the three aspects. At the same time, his Buddhist hearing was also opened, and Xu Sheng gained the divine eye and divine ear.

However, because his cultivation time is still short, Xu Sheng's hearing is currently only slightly better than that of a normal person, and he can hear further. For example, Xu Sheng can hear Zhao Ya's blood flowing in her blood vessels, and her aging heart providing power weakly.

Zhao Ya is old; in terms of vitality, she's far inferior to the group of young people in the classroom, and...

Xu Sheng glanced at the young people in the classroom, then at Zhao Ya.

The young people in the classroom had thousands of causal lines intersecting on their bodies. These causal lines constantly appeared and broke, but overall, the number of new lines exceeded the number of broken lines. Zhao Ya, on the other hand, only had a few dozen causal lines, and the number of new lines was less than the number of broken lines.

Xu Sheng had a feeling that when all the karma on Zhao Ya's body was severed, it would be time for this goddess to die.

After staring at the classroom for a long time, Zhao Ya left dejectedly. This time, Zhao Ya went to the girls' dormitory. Since men were not allowed to enter the dormitory, Xu Sheng waited outside. After Zhao Ya came out, Xu Sheng took the goddess to his car and drove back to the nearby hospital.

After settling the goddess in and handing her over to the local doctors and nurses, Xu Sheng left the hospital and sat on a public bench in a corner, looking around.

After Xu Sheng began cultivating the Three Aspects of Wisdom, the world in his eyes became different. Faint causal lines began to appear on the people around him. And because he had developed the Wisdom of Observing Birth and Death, Xu Sheng could also see the flickering of these causal lines.

According to Buddhist teachings, this means impermanence, suffering, and non-self. In other words, all causes and effects will eventually decline and reach their end. In Buddhist practice, the causal chains of these real, material, and spiritual things ultimately lead to nothingness.

All things are empty.

The three of them, having come to understand the wisdom of the collapse and its consequences, after witnessing so much of the cause and effect, reality, and the fact that all things and beings will eventually perish, will develop the wisdom of the collapse and its consequences, and the wisdom of fear will arise. They will see the demise of everything around them and that they themselves are in the process of constant destruction, and will begin to feel fear of demise and the unstoppable destruction.

Xu Sheng has not yet grasped the wisdom of the arising of fear and the wisdom of the following collapse, but he has begun to fear the impermanence of life and its inevitable decline.

Xu Sheng realized that he had fallen in love with Zhao Ya. In fact, he had been in love with this beautiful woman for fifty years, but due to various opportunities and regrets, the two had not been able to walk down the aisle together.

Fifty years have passed, and Xu Sheng thought he could calmly view this relationship, but when he actually encountered it, he realized that he had overestimated himself.

Zhao Ya's every smile and every word seemed to possess a magical power, piercing Xu Sheng's heart and stirring within him.

Even back then, Xu Sheng never realized how much he liked this woman.

and so……

Xu Sheng took out his phone.

……

Hospital ward.

Zhao Ya had just finished eating an apple when her phone rang.

Sitting by Zhao Ya's bed, Xiao Yanjun immediately took Zhou Yan's phone. Upon looking at the caller ID, oh ho, it was Xu Sheng!

Little Yama handed the phone to Zhou Yan.

"Xiao Yan, your lover is here."

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes at Little Yama and said disdainfully.

"If you keep nagging, Brother Yan will be the one to seduce people next time!"

Zhou Yan pressed the answer button, and Xu Sheng's voice came through.

"Mr. Wu..."

Zhou Yan asked in Wu Dalang's natural voice.

"What's wrong? Why are you calling me so late? Are you running out of cultivation pills?"

"No, Mr. Wu, I... I have a very close friend who has cancer and doesn't have more than a month to live."

Zhou Yan suppressed the urge to curl his lips into a smile, his expression playful.

"I think I understand what you mean. I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of awakened person who can heal people, especially with late-stage cancer, it's difficult..."

"Even the most miraculous medicines are helpless against some incurable human diseases."

Xu Sheng's voice trembled slightly.
