Chapter 387: The Wise
Lu Su once read a story about a person who had a car accident, and then his life started from the beginning, and he could grasp the nodes of each life well, and the life he started over became extremely beautiful...... Until one day he realizes that this new life is nothing more than a near-death experience that has been infinitely stretched, and the decades he has experienced are only infinitely subdivided seconds.
But now it seems to him that this elongated near-death experience is a beautiful thing, it turns out that after death is not all nothingness, it turns out that the world after death exists in this way.
Is this really the afterlife, though? Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou, could it be that he traveled here, and then accidentally fell asleep and had a long and real dream?
Lu Su was thinking there with his hands on his pillow, he was lying under a towering tree, with soft grass under him, and a blue sky above his head, the sunlight was not too strong, and he could even look directly at the sun that was about to set, everything was so beautiful that it was almost illusory.
It's just that I don't know where Jin Duan is, and my heart is a little empty. He was still standing next to the corpse of the Heavenly Wound for the last second, and then everything sank into darkness, and he opened his eyes again to find that he had entered another world.
His clothes were brand new, he didn't feel any pain, and his body was as fresh as if he had just fallen asleep.
"That's right!"
To verify that there was a way to see if everything was dreaming, he reached out and turned it upside down, replicating a small stone.
"Ah, it's true!"
Lu Su stood up and looked around the empty space, this was a corner of the forest, there were rivers, mountains, and large forests not far away, but he couldn't hear any birds.
He suddenly noticed a fiery red thing by the river, and when he looked closely, it was a man in a red cloak, as if he was fishing there.
Lu Su walked over, and his footsteps did not alarm the person sitting on the stone, as if the two had known each other for a long time. As he walked around to him, he noticed that the man was wearing a collar of gold armor, a blood-red cloak, and a goblin mask, but instead of wearing it on his face, he wore it over his shoulders.
The man had a handsome face, so white that he felt sickly, but his deep-set eyes were deep. He wasn't fishing, he was just sitting there and pondering.
"Hi, hello." Lu Soda greets.
"Lu Su, hello." The man smiled.
"Huh? How do you know my name...... I asked for a way back to the real world. ”
"You're not curious about me at all, aren't you going to talk? There is still time. ”
"You are a wise man, right......" Lu Su said, when the demon power ran away, he vaguely heard the words of the heavenly injury, this dressed person is a wise man, although it is the first time they meet, but he feels no stranger.
"You guessed it, I'm so young, aren't you scared?"
"Young ghost! You must be a few hundred years old. ”
"Ha, that's right."
"Uh, I'm asking a stupid question...... How could you be my archetype, are you not my past life? There is a past life, is there really a reincarnation? That's. ”
"Guess our relationship." The wise man stretched out his hand and shouted, "Turn it upside down!" A small stone appeared in his hand, exactly the same as the one Lu Su had just copied.
"Wow!" Lu Su exclaimed, the same demon skill? Looking closely at the wise man's face, it seems to be somewhat similar to himself, but it is not the same, the two look like relatives.
This can't be, isn't the wise man his grandfather!?
"I can't guess!" Lu Su thought about it for a long time, and finally admitted defeat.
"You live in your body, you know? Your power has been the ...... I lent you from the beginning."
"You mean the palm upside down?"
"Yes!" The wise man smiled and nodded, knowing that he possessed terrifying powers, his smile made people feel relaxed and warm. …,
After careful consideration, he did not become a demon in a conventional way, the old man said that the total number of demons in the world will not be more or less, and his demons cannot appear out of thin air...... So do you say...... When she thought about it, it seemed that when she named "Palm Reversal", Jin Duan called it out without even thinking about it, as if this memory was rooted in her heart.
Lu Su speculated: "Ah, I understand! You were in Jinduan's body at the beginning, and then when I became a demon, your demon became my core demon, and I also had your power. ”
"That's right!"
"Ah, isn't that a terrible fact...... You've been eaten by Jinduan! You are the Demon Five Venerables, could it be said that Jin Duan was the enemy at that time? No, the demon knife called Deep Trace told me that Jin Duan is also one of the five, can she become a traitor? ”
"No, I was dead at the time, it's a rule between us, whoever dies will let someone else dispose of the body. At that time, the only survivors were broken and emptiness, emptiness was yin, and broken was yang, so ......"
"Got it! I still have a lot of ...... that I don't understand."
"Let's take our time, we have a lot of time anyway." The wise man smiled gently.
"Tell me about the first thing that happened."
"Well, do you know Lu Hunguo?"
"One of the origins of the surname Lu?"
"Yes, Lu Hun is a small country, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was wiped out by neighboring large countries, in order to remember the national hatred and family hatred, the displaced citizens took Lu as their surname, all over the world. There were two brothers among these people, who were exiled to other places, and the world was not very peaceful at that time, and it happened that there were monsters in the place where they were staying, and the two brothers eliminated the harm for the people, and poured the wine of the whole village into the spring water on the mountain, and after the monster drank it, he got drunk, and the brothers cut off the monster's head. ”
"It's like a story."
"It's really a story, and no one knows the real history." The wise man smiled, "After killing the monster, the brothers were praised by the villagers, and in order to prevent the appearance of monsters in the future, the brothers began to practice martial arts and Taoism. Later, there were several demon disasters, and each time the brothers worked to resolve the crisis. But one day my brother suddenly discovered one thing, every time after killing a monster, the head of the monster was secretly taken away by my younger brother. Finally, a big secret was broken by the elder brother.,It turns out that since the first time the demon was killed,The younger brother has been refining with the head of the monster.,Every demon that appears in the future is the masterpiece of the younger brother.。 ”
"The success rate is so high." Lu Su said.
"Haha...... Since the secret was broken, the brothers have since parted ways, the elder brother has become the ancestor of the demon slayer, and the younger brother has become the ancestor of the demon refiner, and the descendants of the two have been fighting endlessly. What I want to say is that this younger brother, Meishan Ancestor, in fact, the alchemy he mastered was not original, there was already alchemy in that era, but he took these skills to the extreme. The Meishan Lu School advocates 'refining demons with war', that is, refining the demons for him to fight, so that the memory and battle instinct accumulate in the demon, and then kill the demon, refining again, this process will take generations to pay the price of blood to complete, and the failure rate in the middle is also extremely high, and finally they refined the first strongest demon ......"
"You!?" Lu Su, who was dumbfounded, said.
"Yes, that's me!" The wise man looked at his hand and said, "When I was born, I was strong enough to kill the Heavenly Demon with my own strength, and when I was a child, I was a good child, helping my master do all kinds of dirty work. You have already found out, I look very similar to you, because the people of the Meishan Lu Sect use their own blood to refine demons, so to speak, we have the same blood. Probably because of this natural gravitational pull, when the Breaking (i.e., the Brocade Break) uses that ancient ritual, my demon spirit enters your body and blends together perfectly. ”…,
"I see!"
"Let's talk about my business, one day the army of demon slayers arrived, and the entire Meishan Lu Sect was wiped out, and the master's last order to me was 'Run!' It took me a few days and nights to escape from them, and since then I've wandered around because of my extraordinary qualifications, and not only my kind and demon slayer have their eyes on me, but also the demon refiners, and it's been a really difficult time. There was a hint of sentimentality in his clear eyes, as if his gaze had traveled through time and was looking at his past self.
The wise man continued: "Suffering makes people grow, and I am a pacifist by nature, and after all kinds of hardships, I have begun to have a purpose in life, which is a ridiculous thought, I want no more suffering in the world!" Around this time, our world began to be in crisis, the power of demon slayers developed abnormally, demon refiners and their kind were suppressed to the point that they could not raise their heads, and these demon slayers also began to use their own power to plunder ordinary people. At that time, our five friends, I, and Broken, and Void Awakening, as well as the dry plain and the wildfire, at that time we were already standing at the peak of the demons, God gave a person the strength, naturally also to let him complete an important thing, so I proposed to do a vigorous career, fortunately my four friends are also willing to follow me to do something wanton. ”
"What were the five of you like then? I really want to know. ”
The wise man spoke in a voice full of memories: "Although I am the leader, I am usually a stuffy gourd. It's amazing, the famous king of melee combat, everyone else has to take the initiative to hunt for food, but someone comes to 'harass' every day, she will be killed and eaten if she is pleasing to the eye, and she will run away if she is not pleasing to the eye. ”
"O Black Widow! Did she have a favorite person at that time? ”
"I don't particularly like it, but she worships Empty Jue to death, this guy is the king of kung fu, his demon skills are not very good, but his body is amazing, he seems to be born with super muscle activity, and he can control qi at will! This is a very remarkable thing, the demon has never cultivated internal strength, we are born with no such qualifications, but he has cultivated very well, and his whole body is full of fists, and no one can get close to his body. This guy looks serious, like a generation of grandmasters, he usually likes to show off his martial arts, and he especially likes to teach others kung fu, whether others want to or not. This guy stays at the bottom of the valley when he is idle, waiting for the young man to fall, and then pretends to be a white-bearded old man to teach the master, but he has never succeeded once, haha! ”
No wonder this guy would release a lot of teaching CDs, Lu Su thought to himself.
"The dry plain and the wildfire are two brothers who come out of a stove, always moving together, the two of them talk like cross talk, every time everyone gets together, these two guys keep talking and saying, tomorrow and tomorrow they will be together, there are so many things to say......" Speaking of this, the wise man smiled nostalgically.
"Now it's time to tell me about what you swept half of the country back then! I want to hear it. ”
The wise man smiled slyly: "Until then, don't you want to hear about the husband who listened to it?" ”
"Jin Duan's husband!?"
