Dialogue
- Congshen: Dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows — why labor to grasp them? Even if you study the principles for a thousand years, if you keep your mind completely still and "unborn," you simply won't understand.
So... are you looking for a book?
- Congshen: Have you ever been here before?
- (If the player has completed Congshen's Troubles)
-
- Huh?
- (If the player has not completed Congshen's Troubles)
-
- What?
- Yes, I have.
- No, I haven't.
- Congshen: Then you understand.
- Understand... understand what?
- And how could I understand that?
- Congshen: When you need to sleep, sleep. When you need to understand, understand.
- Congshen: You should head back now. When the world ends, just go with it.
- You're talking in riddles. I'm leaving. Goodbye.
- Congshen: Go ahead.
