What does it feel like to be reborn as a human being?

This sentence seemed to turn into a series of strange echoes in my mind, deafening. It was as if I was about to remember something, but I seemed to have forgotten everything, and I could only watch the old man in front of me continue to eat in large gulps.

After a while, I swallowed my saliva and let out a long breath.

Reincarnated as a human being? If I am reborn as a human now, then what was I before? I don't know too much in my heart, but the old man's words seem to mean something. The most important thing is that I clearly feel that everything in this little cycle seems to be more real than the mountains and seas in the end.

Because of what? Because there is reincarnation here?

Isn't this just a place for simple experiments?

I have a lot of doubts in my mind, and I don't know how to sort them out. There are so many secrets about mountains and seas that I don't know.

"Eat, what are you doing?" At this time, the old man looked at me and continued.

I took another bite of the chicken leg in my hand, and the refreshing aroma spread through my mouth again. This feeling made me feel a little dazed, as if I had really gone from being a dead person to gradually understanding the meaning of life again.

"Old man!"

I took a deep breath, looked at the person in front of me quietly, and only said softly after a while: "The juniors are stupid, please ask the seniors to solve the doubts for the juniors!" ”

The shopkeeper next to me looked at me with a hint of regret in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool. It's just that I don't care so much, and in my opinion, there are too many secrets in this old man. Don't say it's a meal, I'm afraid many places are willing to offer him.

The old man licked his lips as if he was a little meaningful, and then gently patted his stomach: "Oh, this feeling of being full of food and drink is really comfortable." What are you puzzled about? ”

"What is reincarnation?" I looked at the old man in front of me and asked softly.

The old man laughed, and then continued, "What have you always been?" ”

"People!" I replied firmly.

The old man nodded: "Are you sure?" ”

“……”

I was a little dumbfounded for a while, I didn't know why the old man asked this sentence, but after such a rhetorical question from him, I gradually fell into contemplation, and then the old man gently stretched his waist, and said with a faint smile in his eyes: "You are not sure, you have the power of turning demon pills in your body, and your strength is almost a demon, you don't know hunger and thirst, and you have achieved the ancient gods!" ”

The old man looked at me with a smile as he spoke: "Are the ancient gods still human?" ”

"Probably right?" At that moment, I felt cold sweat on my forehead, as if I had walked into some misunderstanding, but most people walk like this? I was a little at a loss in my heart, if this path was really wrong, then why no one had ever said it in the mountains and seas?

"Sort of!"

The old man laughed, then nodded slightly, then looked at me in front of him and said, "Then how do you feel about your life?" Is it real? ”

At that moment, I was even more dazed. I never doubted these questions, I looked at the old man in front of me, there was a trace of confusion in my eyes, and after a long time, I continued: "Senior, please make it clear." ”

"Your heart, I know. Your word, I know. The old man paused for a moment before he continued: "Someone has given you boundless luck, so it can almost be said that you have had a smooth ride along the way, although there are dangers, but you seek wealth in danger!" Your strength has risen to such an advanced level. I'm not doing this to belittle you, it's about getting you to where you are, and it's inseparable from your choices, your tenacity, and your perseverance. You don't have to give it all to luck. So you can rest assured that you are not on the wrong path. It's just that I haven't found myself for too long. ”

"How did you feel when you ate just now?" The old man continued.

I paused for a moment before adding, "It's so sweet and refreshing!" ”

"Is it real?" The old man asked with a smile.

After recalling it carefully, I shook my head slightly: "Instead of feeling real, I feel a little fake. ”

"Haha, that's the problem." The old man continued, "And how do you feel about this place?" ”

I glanced around: "It's a little weird, the people here are just ordinary people, this shopkeeper, every guest here, it seems that they have existed a long time ago, their longevity is not more than a hundred years, but why can they always be here?" And when I come back now, they're still there...... Not even a change in appearance? ”

That's what puzzles me the most.

It is also the thing that makes me most helpless.

"Want to know?" The old man laughed at me before he continued, "If you want to know, then I can tell you." But let's go shopping on the streets! ”

As I spoke, the old man led me down the street. I hurriedly checked out, and then walked out onto the street, where the crowds were surging and all kinds of sounds were endless, and at that moment, I felt as if I had been gradually grasped back to reality by a mysterious force from the unreal. What used to feel like an illusory place now feels unusually real.

In the mountains and seas, I have seen too many fighting methods, and I have seen too many scriptures!

However, I have rarely seen such a simple street.

"Sometimes if you go a little far, you will find that you will gradually forget who you are!" The old man looked at me, and then continued: "She is a poor person, don't hold a grudge against her, her path is wrong, but her original intention is not wrong!" ”

I was silent for a moment, and as if I understood something, I looked at the old man and said, "Are you talking about the so-called person who walks the path of immortals?" ”

"Yes, I've seen a tragedy happen once, so I don't want to see it a second time. That's why I want to pull you back again, to be an immortal, what's so good? The old man tapped me on the shoulder, then continued, "That path is fundamentally wrong." ”

I was a little dazed, although I roughly understood the meaning of the old man's words, but there were still many things that I didn't understand too much.

After a long time, he quietly looked at the old man in front of him and said, "What about the time of this place?" ”

"Come with me!" At this time, the old man gently patted me on the shoulder, and then continued, "I'll take you to see something!" ”

As I spoke, I felt as if the space I was in suddenly flickered, and then I appeared in a strange cave. In the cave, I saw something very familiar.

A grinding disc.

This grinding disc is like a gear, running quietly there.

It rotated slowly, but there were no strange rules flowing out of it, which made me feel strangely strange. He slowly took a step forward, and then continued: "This grinding disc, what kind of grinding disc?" ”

"Where's the grinding disc?"

The old man laughed, as if mocking me, and then continued, "Do you think you really control the millstone?" If that's the case, then who do you think carved this grinding disc? ”

That's to the point, because I don't know.

I've thought about it, but I can't find an answer.

All the grinding discs seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Senior, what the hell is going on?" I asked again.

The old man beckoned gently, and the grinding disc in the cave returned to his hand, and then, I saw that the grinding disc was gradually blurring, as if it had formed an afterimage, but I could still feel that there seemed to be a strange force slowly running around me.
