Chapter 20: The Mountain God Lu Wu
After returning from Ding Ming's house to mourn, Yin Tiancheng's mind lingered for a long time on the crying faces of Ding Ming's wife and children, and his heart was full of grief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The mysterious fortune teller was clearly a master of the world, and he came to remind him that he was in danger, but he let Ding Ming die unjustly because of his inner stubbornness, which called him how not to feel guilty and how not to feel heartache.
Yin Tiancheng was physically and mentally tired, gently pushed open the bedroom door, and was about to calm down alone, but heard a noise in the room. He said weakly, "Is it Guoguo?" ”
Without any sound of answer, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but be alert, the sword had been quietly unsheathed, he stared into the room, and saw that in the dark, there was a person sitting on the wooden chair next to the bed.
There is no sign that the door lock has been picked, how did he get in? Is it a thief? Thinking of this, Yin Tiancheng hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man in the room laughed, and a candle lit in his hand. Yin Tiancheng only saw clearly at this time that the person who came was the fortune teller who saved his life today.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace, Yin Tiancheng is unforgettable." Yin Tiancheng hurriedly abandoned his sword and made a big salute.
"No need to be polite, I don't like this either." He replied indifferently. He held Guoguo in his right hand, and Guoguo slept in his hands like a good child at this time; In his left hand, he held the candle given to Yin Tiancheng by the woman in white, and the candle flame was still burning with colorful flames.
Strange, the candle is obviously in my arms, how did it end up in his hands? Yin Tiancheng couldn't figure it out.
"May I ask the name of Engongzun?" Yin Tiancheng asked respectfully.
"My name is Lu Wu and I am from Kunlun Sacred Mountain."
Hearing the name Lu Wu, Yin Tiancheng was shocked, because he had seen a record of Lu Wu in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", saying that he was the god of Kunlun Mountain, the head of the underground palace, not only responsible for managing the nine parts of the sky, but also guarding Kunlun from the invasion of demons. Whether the second emperor is a god or a demon, Yin Tiancheng is still half-convinced, but Lu Wu saved his life, and he doesn't look like an evil person from his face, Yin Tiancheng's heart faintly began to believe that there are really ghosts and gods in this world.
Lu Wu gently put Guoguo on the ground, and was about to talk to Yin Tiancheng when he heard a "plop", and Yin Tiancheng knelt straight in front of him with his legs.
"Hurry up, I hate human etiquette the most." Lu Wu hurriedly got up and helped.
"I have something to ask for, please help me. If you don't say yes, I won't get up. ”
"Huh." Lu Wuyan smiled and said, "Are you threatening me?" ”
"Don't dare, please save Ding Ming's life. In the next vow, build a temple for the immortal, sculpt the golden body, and worship you from generation to generation. ”
"Alas! It seems that you are not exempt from vulgarity, and you are as virtuous as other mortals. Seeing Yin Tiancheng's anxious appearance, Lu Wu retracted his smile and let out a long sigh, and then said slowly: "Actually, our Protoss is not as omnipotent as you mortals think, and I can't save Ding Ming's life at all." ”
"Why?" Yin Tiancheng remembered the deeds recorded in many books about the gods saving people, and his face was full of confusion.
Lu Wu's eyes blinked, and Yin Tiancheng involuntarily stood up and sat on the chair opposite Lu Wu.
"If he just died, I might still have a chance." Lu Wu said: "Now that his soul has been reincarnated, no god can resurrect him. ”
Hearing this, Yin Tiancheng suddenly felt that his hope was shattered, he lowered his head, and he was speechless for a long time.
"The man has gold under his knees, and Ding Ming is just your colleague, not your relative. Is it worth it for you to kneel down and beg me for him? Lu Wu looked at Yin Tiancheng with a strange expression on his face.
Just as Lu Wu was talking, Yin Tiancheng seemed to remember something, he raised his head, and instead of answering Lu Wu's question, he asked him: "Did you calculate that I had a bloody disaster today?" ”
"Yes." Lu Wu nodded.
"Then you can also calculate that Ding Ming's life is in danger today, right?"
"Yes." Lu Wu suddenly realized something, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"Then why didn't you save me at that time?" Yin Tiancheng's words were almost like an angry roar. Although Lu Wu in front of him was his savior, and today was his first acquaintance, it stands to reason that Yin Tiancheng should be polite to him, but he couldn't understand what Lu Wu was doing.
"Do you really want to know why?"
Yin Tiancheng nodded, his eyes looking straight at him, eagerly waiting for an answer.
Lu Wu said: "First of all, it is difficult for both humans and gods to change the arrangement of fate. ”
"In other words, you still have a chance to save Ding Ming." Yin Tiancheng's hand clenched the armrest of the chair, trying not to let himself get excited.
"The more important reason is that the master's order is for me to protect you secretly, and not for me to protect others at the same time."
"So you only save me and I don't save Ding Ming? I thought that only demons would kill sentient beings, but I didn't expect you immortals to be so cold-blooded and ruthless. Yin Tiancheng muttered, feeling as if his heart had fallen into a cold and strange world in an instant.
"Then what do you think we immortals should look like?" Lu Wu asked him rhetorically.
"Distinguish between right and wrong, punish evil and promote good, and save suffering and difficult sentient beings."
"That's just the fantasy you humans expect, not real." Lu Wu paused for a moment and stood up and said, "Let me tell you what a god is!" God is immortal, the supreme Lord of the universe; It is an existence that is in charge of the order of heaven and earth, jumps out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, and has great power. And you human beings are just ordinary creatures created by Nuwa Niangniang, copies of gods. Because you do not inherit God's nature, you have to obey God's will. As far as God is concerned, as long as human beings do not disturb the order of the Three Realms, God has no obligation and no need to help you. ”
Yin Tiancheng blushed with anger, how many devout believers knelt down in front of the statue to pray for the blessing of the gods, but Lu Wu's words ruthlessly shattered him, or the established impression of most people in the world. It turns out that man's understanding of God is all wrong, but the truth is the answer he never thought of! Does God not care about human existence at all? Thinking of this, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but have an open fire in his chest. He gasped, rushed forward to grab Lu Wu out of control, and roared at him, "Get out of here!" I don't need your help. ”
But he grabbed the air, and Lu Wu disappeared in an instant. Before Yin Tiancheng could react, he heard Lu Wu's words behind him: "It's really reckless, you don't look as shrewd as when you handled the case." I once had a child who fantasized every day that Kunlun was my back garden, and your current behavior reminds me of him again. ”
Hearing this, Yin Tiancheng turned around and punched him, and pounced again, and Lu Wu let out a hehe laugh above his head.
Yin Tiancheng looked up and saw that Lu Wu was floating on the roof beam and smiling at him.
"Don't you understand? Let me give you an analogy, and you will understand why God treats human beings the way I say. Lu Wu continued: "When you see a moth under the eaves of your house entangled in a spider's web, and the spider may eat it at any time, will you save the moth?" ”
"Maybe, maybe not, depending on the mood." Yin Tiancheng replied angrily.
Lu Wu fell, stopped beside him and said, "In the eyes of God, man is the poor moth. ”
As soon as his words fell, Yin Tiancheng pounced again. This time, Lu Wu was defenseless and was pushed to the ground by him. Yin Tiancheng grabbed him tightly and hugged him with both hands. He himself didn't understand why he was so angry after listening to Lu Wu's words today.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Wu's body began to change, slowly turning into a monster, stretching his limbs. Yin Tiancheng was speechless in surprise, he couldn't believe that everything he saw in front of him was true, but his hands had already touched the warm fur on its body.
As soon as the monster turned over and stood up, Yin Tiancheng lay on his back and gasped. The monster spread its wide wings and said to Yin Tiancheng: "It seems that if I don't take you to a place today, you still won't understand." With that, he jumped to the window, pushed it open and flew out.
The sound of the wind whizzed in Yin Tiancheng's ears, and it was late at night, Yin Tiancheng rode on its back and watched the buildings on the ground get smaller and smaller, and the lights gradually became as faint as the stars in the sky. Only then did he see Lu Wu's true body, he was a tiger-like divine beast, with fur as bright as gold all over his body, and nine tails on his back.
Yin Tiancheng asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
Lu Wu said: "A place you were once familiar with, would you like to start a strange journey with me?" ”
Yin Tiancheng didn't ask any more questions, no matter how strange things happened tonight, he wouldn't be surprised anymore. There is a concept in his heart that has quietly changed, that is, there are really immortals in this world.
