Volume 1 Children of Destiny Chapter 35 The House Sweeper and the Curse
Mo Li was in shock, and it wasn't until the old man finished saying that he came back to his senses.
Looking at the old man, Mo Li's eyes showed gratitude, and then he bowed down and bowed to the old man, the old man's words made Mo Li realize how dangerous his actions were.
The old man looked very ordinary, whether in terms of dress or temperament, he looked like an ordinary person, and Mo Li couldn't see any cultivation from him.
However, the more this is the case, the more Mo Li feels that the old man thinks that he is a master, and many great cultivators, when their cultivation reaches a certain level, they will return to their roots, and they look no different from ordinary people.
What's more, the old man's previous words obviously had other meanings.
"Why did he say, 'If you were someone else, you would probably die a long time ago??Why did you say something else, what is the difference between me and others?" Mo Li thought back to the old man's previous words, and muttered in his heart.
The old man seemed to see what Mo Li was thinking at a glance, so he said: "If you have doubts, why don't you ask, old man, will I still harm you? If I wanted to harm you, I didn't need to save you before." ”
As the old man spoke, he laughed, which made De Moli suddenly look extremely embarrassed, and he was born and died on the battlefield all the year round, so that De Moli would maintain a certain degree of vigilance against strangers.
Thinking about it at the moment, it's really too defensive for himself, the old man wants to harm him, just watch him fend for himself before, why bother to save him.
Mo Li bowed to the old man again, apologized, and then asked, "Uncle, who are you?"
"I'm just a sweeper!" the old man said lightly.
Mo Li would not be fooled by such a sentence, he didn't think that the old man was just a sweeper.
Mo Li said: "Uncle, don't fool me as a junior, when I entered the building, I saw that the plaques in this building were covered with thick dust, and no one swept them, so ah, where is the sweeper here?"
The old man looked at Mo Li and said, "You kid, you don't care why I came out to see you, but ask some if you have something." ”
Hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but be vigilant again, thinking to himself, this old man really has a scheming.
"Don't look at me like that. The old man frowned, he didn't like Mo Li's vigilant eyes, he continued: "Although I know you, if you hadn't triggered the magic circle, the whole building would have caused a sensation, and I wouldn't have bothered to come out to see you." ”
"I caused a sensation?" Mo Li looked very surprised, he didn't know anything about what the old man said.
"That's right, you caused a sensation and caused some small disturbances!" the old man then told Mo Li what had happened.
It turned out that when Mo Li triggered the magic circle, a blue light popped out of this room, and it actually dragged the entire building into the illusion, of course, everyone was an independent individual in the illusion, and they didn't know that the people around them had also entered the illusion.
However, everyone who entered the illusion realm saw the scene Mo Li saw before, war, blood, and killing, and everyone seemed to have experienced it personally.
Seeing that many people couldn't support it, the old man made a decisive move and dragged out Mo Li, the source of the illusion, and the illusion was self-defeating.
"There should be a lot of people out there who have been miserable by you. Although the old man said this, he did not mean to blame Mo Li in his words.
Mo Li was a little ashamed, although it was an unintentional mistake, and the incident was beyond his control, but after all, it hurt people, Mo Li asked: "Are the people outside seriously injured?"
"If it's serious, they're badly hurt compared to you. The old man said, "But it's not serious, it's just that the spirit will be weakened for a day or two, and it's okay to have a good rest." ”
Hearing the old man say this, Mo Li instantly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he didn't cause too much harm to others, otherwise he would have a sad life in the future, most of the people who can enter the National Education Academy are the heirs of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, if there is trouble, the Huaihua General's Mansion will not be able to bear it.
At this time, the old man circled around Mo Li, touched his chin and stared at Mo Li for a while, and nodded his head thoughtfully for a while.
After a while, the old man said, "It turns out that it has the power of thunder and lightning, no wonder it can touch the magic circle." ”
The old man patted Mo Li's shoulder again, and said with some excitement: "The kid is very good, I have observed you for many years, and I saw that you couldn't practice, I thought you wouldn't dare to use it, but I didn't expect you to have the power of thunder and lightning, and it was not in vain that I gave you a jade pendant." ”
Hearing the word "jade pendant", Mo Li instantly thought of the jade pendant he had worn for many years, but it was broken.
Mo Li looked at the old man in surprise and said, "That jade pendant was given to my mother by you?"
"Sort of!" said the old man.
Hearing the old man's answer, Mo Li was a little angry, so he asked in a questioning tone: "Since the jade pendant was given by you, it means that you have already calculated that I have such a catastrophe, so why can't you calculate that my mother will die, since you can save me, why didn't you save my mother in the first place?"
The old man seemed to know that Mo Li would have this question, so he responded: "I explained the benefits and disadvantages to your mother at the beginning, it was a catastrophe, if you want to change your life against the sky, you and your mother will definitely die, it is your mother who chooses to sacrifice herself in exchange for your life, even if your mother does not die at that time, she will not live for a few days, in a sense, you are indeed the life of your mother." ”
Hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but feel a tingling in his heart, what should he say, he couldn't say anything at the moment, he couldn't refute the old man's words, he fell into a short period of sluggishness.
At this time, the old man's voice sounded again: "Besides, I just handed over the jade pendant on my behalf, and someone handed over the jade pendant to me ten thousand years ago." ”
"Ten thousand years ago?" Mo Li immediately broke free from the momentary sluggishness when he heard this, and then looked at the old man with some shock.
"How many years have you lived?"
According to the meaning of the old man's words, he was a jade pendant that he got ten thousand years ago, which means that he already existed ten thousand years ago, but Mo Li has never heard of someone who can live for ten thousand years, even if it is an ancestor, and he has only spent ten thousand years in the inner world of the Apocalypse Order.
The most important thing is what kind of existence the person who gave the old man the jade pendant will be, it has been calculated ten thousand years ago that Mo Li will be born in ten thousand years, and there will be such a catastrophe.
"No one knows I exist, but now only you know. ”
The old man spoke, but there was a little bitterness on his face, and then said: "I am a cursed man, who has lived too long, but I am like but I can't die. ”
After some sighing, the old man told Mo Li his story.
If you pick up the generations, the old man can be regarded as a senior uncle who dare not disobey, and he is also a person who experienced the last catastrophe, and he is also one of the people who are alive after the catastrophe.
With the slow reproduction of human beings, the goddess of destiny began to preach to human beings again, but her sermon was not smooth at first, and she was stirred up by the old man several times.
In the end, the goddess of destiny issued a curse on the old man, cursing him that as long as the Mandate of Heaven Continent existed for one day, he would never die, and trapped him in one place and could never leave him.
That place has been developed by later generations, and it has become today's capital of Jiang Kingdom, where the goddess of destiny trapped the old man in one place forever, let him watch his descendants die generation after generation, and let him experience catastrophe after catastrophe, watching human beings be harvested again and again, then multiplied, and then harvested again, and so on.
Mo Li listened to the old man talk so much, his fists were already tightly clenched, and he could still see that his nails had sunk into his palms, slowly oozing blood.
"It's not necessarily a good thing to live a long time, the longer you live, the more loneliness you endure, the memories of the past will wash through your mind over and over again, you have no one to share, no one to talk to, you can only bear it silently alone. ”
The old man said this, but his face was full of tiredness, he was really too tired from life.
"I don't want to bring the goddess of destiny to be so vicious. Mo Li muttered, "I think you've tried many ways to die, right?"
"Of course, for such a long time, I have tried all the ways you can think of and the way to die, but unfortunately I didn't die after all, and after a long time, I don't bother to try. The old man sighed.
Mo Li listened to the old man's emotion, he didn't make a sound, what could he say, if he could do it, of course he was willing to relieve the old man, but unfortunately his ability was limited.
"Didn't you try to take your cultivation one step further?"
Mo Li's meaning is obvious, the old man is a flesh-and-blood person, who has lived for such a long time, and his cultivation must have reached an unfathomable point, if he takes another step forward, achieves the divine position, and achieves the same existence as the goddess of destiny, maybe the curse will be broken.
The old man shook his head and said, "I didn't think about becoming a god, but unfortunately I couldn't do it, the exercises I practiced were handed down from the last catastrophe, and to put it bluntly, they were still preached by the goddess of destiny, and my qualifications have long been limited."
Furthermore, the curse I received also limited my development, and since the day I received the curse, my cultivation has not made any further progress. ”
"Is there really no way?" Mo Li asked again.
"Yes. The old man said, "The only way is to kill the goddess of destiny, only if she dies, his curse will be broken." ”
Mo Li's eyes widened, and then he smiled: "Doesn't that mean you haven't said it, as far as I know, from ancient times to the present, no one has seen the goddess of destiny look like at all, let alone kill her." ”
Although Mo Li said this, he didn't think so, if there was really a catastrophe coming, then one day, he would face the goddess of destiny, if he really had the ability to kill her at that time, he would naturally not hesitate to act.
Hearing Mo Li say this, the old man couldn't help but glance sideways at him and said, "As far as you know... From ancient times to the present day? The Goddess of Destiny has long since erased any record against her, where did you learn that?"
Mo Li knew that he seemed to have slipped his mouth, so he kept his mouth shut, and wanted to get through the confusion together.
However, the old man laughed, and he said, "It seems that you have other adventures, it's just that, you keep some secrets yourself, I don't ask." ”
The old man didn't ask again, Mo Li was relieved, in fact, he couldn't say that his adventure was nothing more than the Apocalypse Order, but some things were things, of course, the less people knew, the better, not to mention that it also involved the origin of heaven and earth, so he needed to be more cautious.
At this time, the old man spoke again: "Okay, you also know a lot about my affairs, so let's talk about business!"
