Chapter 186: The Power of Silence
Huai Wei talked about the past when Tianshu did not become an immortal, and told Yixin about the reason and process of his acquisition of the power of the stars.
"Gods, there should be more than one Tianshu who can sacrifice himself since ancient times, right?" I also thought about it and felt that the process of Tianshu becoming an immortal was too legendary.
"You think it's easy?" Huai Wei shook his head, signaling that Yixin's matter was not as simple as he imagined.
"I didn't mean that." Yixin explained, "I just think that your words are not finished yet, and Tianshu's suffering must be more than what you said. β
Huai Wei was so angry by Yixin's panting way of speaking that she couldn't cry or laugh, and responded helplessly: "You have grown a little." β
"Am I right?" Yixin urged Huai Wei to say, "Shenhu, what did Tianshu do later? Hurry up, I'll hear it. β
"Sacrifice is not something that can be done by touching the skin of the mouth and talking about it." Huai Wei looked in the direction of Tianshu and slowly said what happened afterward, "Tianshu said that he would exchange his own for the freedom of the rest of the souls in the city, how could Liang Qu agree to this kind of deal that would obviously suffer losses?" β
"Yes, no matter how extraordinary Tianshu is, he has only one, how can he be worth thousands of souls? Then Liang Qu is not stupid, how can he agree? If this were left to me, I would not agree to it. Yixin nodded, obviously he also felt that this deal could not be completed, and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" β
"How is it natural that the soul of a person's life is not worthy of the soul of a city? Tianshu traded with Liang Qu for a hundred years. Huaiwei sighed.
"A hundred?" Yixin shouted, "How? Could it be that every one of the hundred lives of Tianshu will be snatched by Liang Qu as soon as he is born? β
"It's a lot of trouble. There is a broken soul in charge of reincarnation, as long as it is temporarily hidden, that living soul cannot be reincarnated, and will stay in the same place for many lifetimes, becoming an earthbound soul, but with good cultivation, the ability will be enhanced. Huai Wei said, "Tianshu has the favor of Heavenly Dao, so naturally the speed of cultivation is faster than that of ordinary ghosts. β
"A hundred lifetimes, that's a thousand years. This thousand years are just a white horse for demons and monsters. But for mortals, it is quite a long time, and this Tianshu is really persevering enough. Yixin asked with emotion, "Didn't all those cultivators who had cultivated that Tianshu have to honor Liang Qu?" β
"Of course, this is what they said before, Tianshu is a trustworthy gentleman, and naturally he will not break his promise." Huaiwei responded as a matter of course.
Yixin followed the logic that should be deduced: "Tianshu kept his promise and escaped safely after a thousand years and ascended to become an immortal, is that so?" β
"Yixin, your ideas are sometimes too naΓ―ve." Huai Wei glanced at Yixin, and said lightly, "If you can't get it, you want to get it, if you get it, you want to get more, and after you get more, you want to get it all, and when it's never endless, this is greed, and all living beings in the world have greedy hearts." β
"Shenhu, you mean that Liang Qu did not keep his promise. When the time is up, can he still forcibly control Tianshu and prevent him from leaving? β
Yixin's confusion was written on his face, obviously thinking that since there is a word of promise in the world, everything that has been promised should be kept.
"Liang Qu is not a trustworthy demon beast? He is greedy for souls, and even more greedy for cultivation, Tianshu is such a good bait right in front of him, how can he not bear to swallow him in one bite? Besides, he has enjoyed the worship for thousands of years, and one day he suddenly breaks the offering, can Liang Qu be happy? Yixin still couldn't understand the greed in this world, and still looked confused, Huai Wei gave an example, "Let me tell you this, the clear spring water you drink every day suddenly broke off one day, what should you do?" β
Yi Xin replied disappreciatively: "What is there to worry about, I don't know how many springs in this world there are, this one is broken, you can find another one." β
"If after drinking this spring water, you can improve your cultivation without cultivating day and night, and you can still enjoy your favorite sweet taste, which is the only one in the world, and you can't find anything else, then what should you do? Will you find out the source of this sweet spring, find it, stay there, settle down, and take it for yourself? Huai Wei made an analogy.
"Nothing else? Can you still improve your cultivation? Yixin hesitated and replied hesitantly, "Then I may find the source." β
Huai Wei nodded yes, and then said, "A pool of spring water can still arouse obsession, let alone a living cultivation treasure?" β
Yixin listened to Huai Wei's analogy, but shook his head: "It's different, since Tianshu and that Liang Qu have words first, no matter how precious and different Tianshu is, Liang Qu just can't break his promise." If I promise one thing, no matter how much I covet the sweetness of the spring water and how much I care about the cultivation that the spring water brings, I will not be treacherous. β
"Liang Qu is not you, his greed has been carved into his bones. Seeing that the agreed period was coming, the thousand-year covenant was about to end, and the duck in hand was about to fly away by itself, Liang Qu panicked. He wanted to improve his cultivation for a long time, but the source was gone, and everything in the future was empty talk, and he could only devour Tianshu. β
Yixin was surprised and asked, "Devouring?" Shenhu, do you mean that Liang Qu wants to swallow Tianshu's soul? β
Huai Wei nodded and said, "For a thousand years, relying on the cultivation of devouring other living souls and Tianshu, Liang Qu has long been different from a thousand years ago, and his strength has increased greatly. One day, when Tianshu was weak when he handed over his cultivation, he suddenly attacked and wanted to take him down in one fell swoop. β
"What should I do?" Yixin listened very nervously, and anxiously asked the result, "Can Tianshu escape the catastrophe?" β
"Tianshu fought hard, but he was defeated and captured." Huai Wei paused here when she said this, and after being urged by Yixin, she continued, "Liang Qu is about to kill the killer, and at this time, something happened suddenly. All the cultivation that had been claimed by Liang Qu for thousands of years returned to Tianshu's body, and he regained the strength to fight against Liang Qu. β
Yixin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, this is really good." β
Huai Wei smiled faintly and slowly said the ending of the story: "That battle, the battle was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and finally Liang Qu was beheaded by Tianshu under the sword, and Tianshu cultivated profoundly, and made great merits to eliminate demons, and was able to fly to become an immortal." β
"Good! Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, it is really happy in my heart. Yixin praised it, and was quite satisfied with this ending.
"Because Tianshu is ascending in the starry night, the stars shine on that day, and all things are bathed in it, and the power of the stars is the gift of ascension given by the Heavenly Dao to Tianshu." Huaiwei added.
"I see. How did you know these things, gods? He was also confused and confused.
The Immortal Emperor and the Ghost King listened very attentively, but the focus of the two was different, the Ghost King was interested in the power of the stars, so when he heard this, he had no interest in listening, and turned his head, and the Immortal Emperor was different, he was concerned about the acquaintance of Tianshu and Huaiwei, and when he heard this, his spirit was shocked and his ears were pricked up.
"I lost my divine body back then, and my soul had nowhere to susten, and I wandered in the world for many years, and I happened to bump into the Tianshu War against Liang Qu, and I took a look at it from afar." Huaiwei explained, "After the ascension of the Heavenly Pivot, I wandered around that city for a few days, listening to all the heroic deeds of his life. β
When the Immortal Emperor heard this, the look of doubt in his eyes changed a little, but he still did not completely relieve his doubts.
Huai Wei didn't care what the Immortal Emperor was thinking, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the Immortal Emperor, because Yixin just mentioned it again.
"Shenhu, you haven't said what kind of power the ghost has on it." Yixin's eyes were full of fear when he looked at the ghost, and he said with palpitations, "I haven't seen any power in him for a long time." I didn't dare to look at it more, I only dared to look at it or not, I don't know why, after watching it for a long time, I would have a feeling of despair. β
"Normal." Huai Wei said disapprehantly, "The power of silence in his body is two completely opposite forces to the breath of the living. β
"The power of silence?" Yixin repeated these four words and said thoughtfully, "Listening to this name, I know that this power is not a good power." β
"Who says the power of silence isn't a good power?" The Ghost King spoke gloomily, "That's an excellent power, a powerful power exclusive to the Ghost Realm. β
Yixin ignored the impure ghost king, and just looked at Huai Wei, waiting for her explanation.
Huai Wei illustrates the difference between the breath of the living and the power of extinction in a contrasting way: "The breath of the living is a positive force that gives birth to all things and gives hope, while the power of extinction is the opposite, it destroys hope, corrupts the breath of any living beings it comes into contact with, and is a negative force that can cause fear and even calamity and disease." β
"Isn't that like the plague?" He also compares the power of silence with the terrifying plague of destruction.
"They're not quite the same." "The terrible thing about the plague is that it is highly contagious, but the plague can be cured, and the vitality of the infected can gradually recover. The power of extinction is different, its terrible power lies in its own destructive power, extremely powerful destructive power, and irreversible. β
"Irreversible? How can it be irreversible? Yixin asked, "What does this mean?" β
Huai Wei said: "The life that has been eroded by the power of silence cannot be replaced again. The power of extinction directly cut off the breath of the living beings, destroying all the vitality. β
"How can there be such a terrible power in this world? Isn't this the nemesis of the breath of the living? He was terrified when he heard it.
"All things are mutually reinforcing, and so is strength. Since there is the breath of the living beings, there must be the power of silence, which is the law of conservation of energy in the world. β
