Chapter 13: Asking at Night
"Stone man seniors. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Qiming also saluted and said respectfully: "The predecessors have promised, and when we meet again, we will make everything clear." I also ask the seniors to solve the doubts of the younger generations. β
A panicked young woman ran over in small steps to check on her child. She took the boy's hand, and the moment she faced Lu Qiming, her expression turned calm, and she said, "Do you know what the three thousand worlds of large, medium and small are?"
Lu Qiming nodded and said, "The world where we originally were, and where we are now, are all one of the three thousand worlds. β
"Yes, but this one is special. The young woman took the child home and said, "Its body is a lotus flower, with three thousand petals, and each petal is a small world." When the lotus flower is fully bloomed, it becomes a middle world of its own, and the consciousness born in the lotus flower is also the most primitive god of this world. β
Lu Qiming walked slowly with the mother and son, and recalled in his heart the lotus universe he saw when he was in Nirvana, with three thousand white petals composed of countless stars. He had wondered if it was a hallucination, but now that it was, it was the world itself.
The young woman took the boy back to the third house in the west head. Lu Qiming passed by them and continued to move forward alone.
The old lady in the old brown jacket squinted her eyes, the old rattan chair was facing west, and the smooth armrests still had the afterglow of the sunset.
Lu Qiming walked around, sat on the big stone opposite her, and said, "The Spirit Alliance continues to extradite the world's people to this world in order to break that seal...... It's the gods of this world who seal them, right?"
The old lady spoke, "Presumably, you have already thought of the reason why he was sealed. β
Lu Qiming lowered his gaze and said, "The Chengyuan God back then?"
"Yes, but the seal was not the owner's intention. β
ββThis sentence is to admit the identity of the "master" that has always been said, and it is really the last god of the world in Lu Qiming's previous life, the God of Chengyuan.
No matter how shocking this fact set off in Lu Qiming's heart, Shiren's narration continued.
"The master has already achieved the ultimate divine position in the Middle World, but he has no intention of entering a higher world, but instead tries to change the nature of the Middle World. This lotus world was one of the ways chosen by the master at that time. According to the master's vision, after refining this lotus plant, he could begin the first step of changing the nature of the world. β
Lu Qiming repeated: "Refining?"
The old lady opened her eyes, as if she were staring at somewhere in the void. She bowed her head and said, "Even if this lotus has grown into a middle world, its body is still a lotus flower, of course it can be refined. β
Lu Qiming was silent. He slowly stood up and walked away.
He suddenly understood why the master said that Cheng Yuan was unkind in his previous life. A complete middle world, with three thousand small worlds and countless living beings, is just a random spiritual material in the eyes of Chengyuan God. His temperament is so cold.
However, in the end, Chengyuan God naturally did not succeed, otherwise there would be no place for him to live in this life. Thinking of this, Lu Qiming's heart was a little relaxed, but it was inevitable that he would add a little more trouble. These are all the karma committed by the Chengyuan God, and now, I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, but they will drag him Lu Qiming to be involved.
Lu Qiming has always felt that he is an ordinary person, nothing more than some extra talent. The gods said that it was too far away for him. In my previous life, when I occasionally heard Master say, I only listened to it as a legend, how could I take it seriously?
Why is it different now?
When Lu Qiming walked on the village path again, there was a swarthy young man carrying water behind him.
The young man had big steps, and he walked side by side with Lu Qiming in a few steps. At this time, he turned his head to look at Lu Qiming, his gaze was gentle and attentive. Lu Qiming knew that it was the stone man who was looking at him through the eyes of the young man.
Although the voice was different and different, it was as calm and indifferent as ever, and he said: "I know that you can't agree with the master's choice yet, but you are the last person in the world who should not blame the master." The Lord gave everything for you, even His life. β
Lu Qiming was stunned, countless questions poured into his mind, but the last question he opened was still the original question, "What is the relationship between God Chengyuan and me...... Am I His reincarnation?"
But Lu Qiming didn't get an answer. The young man only said, "Perhaps." The master once said that your very existence is the greatest taboo, and that no one in the world should know about it, including the master himself. Therefore, I only know that you are born because of your master, and I can only perceive that you are a life being of a similar level to your master, and I don't know anything else. β
Lu Qiming stopped, stood still for a long time, and walked into a blacksmith shop. He casually pulled out a sword, looked down at the cold blade reflecting his blurred face, and showed a somewhat helpless smile: "I, where is that powerful." β
The middle-aged man in black who was sitting in the corner of the shop raised his head, seemed to smile slightly, and said, "You are still so young, you are already very remarkable." β
Lu Qiming smiled, put the sword in his hand back on the platform, and said gently: "I practiced for five hundred years in my previous life, and what I learned was miscellaneous but not proficient, and there is really nothing worth mentioning when I think about it, even my current ability is only obtained by luck. If He really gave up himself for me, wouldn't it be unworthy? β
The middle-aged man listened to him quietly, and didn't react to anything else, but said, "It's not five hundred years." β
Lu Qiming was slightly stunned and said, "What?"
The middle-aged man repeated: "It's not five hundred years, your age has only passed twenty-three years. However, if you do not enter reincarnation, you will not die, it is meaningless compared to mortals, and there is no talk of past and present lives. β
Even if Lu Qiming had decided to listen to Shiren's words before he came, he would distinguish between right and wrong, but such a statement was too absurd. Lu Qiming shook his head and said, "No matter what, the memories and learning of my previous life will not be false. Furthermore, if I hadn't died, how could I have been summoned and reborn into this world?"
Shi Ren knew that Lu Qiming didn't believe it, but he was not in a hurry to win the trust, so he just said calmly as usual: "The facts will prove in the future." As for your age, I have a guess. β
Lu Qiming looked at him.
He said: "You were born with the disappearance of your master, at that time it has been more than 50,000 years ago, and there are two worlds with different speed of time, at least 100,000 years have passed with you, and your life trajectory has only begun for twenty-three years, but your memory is 500 years. Then it's probably the seal. β
Lu Qiming paused and asked, "Do I have a seal on my body now?"
The middle-aged man said: "You know, no. β
Lu Qiming smiled faintly.
The middle-aged man said: "Maybe it was set by the master at the beginning." I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to do it. β
Lu Qiming found a small stool and sat down, silently looking at the simple weapon rack opposite, the blades reflecting the candle flame slightly yellow. Although he could talk to the stone man in any corner of the village, he was not interested in continuing to walk elsewhere.
After thinking about it, Lu Qiming turned to ask, "Cheng Yuan...... I mean, the other nine generations, he's the same as me?"
Shiren denied: "He is neither you nor the master, but only a fragment of the soul that has a part of the master's memory and character. β
Lu Qiming smiled: "He seems to want to kill me." β
Shi Daodao: "He has no memory about you...... He thinks you're the same being as him, that's why he does those things. But you don't have to worry about him, the power of the fragment is much weaker than yours and will never be dangerous to you. And he's here to protect you. β
Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows, his smile was a little subtle, and said, "If he was worried that I would be killed by the gods of this world as an enemy, he could have said it directly." If it makes sense, I don't want to listen to the more experienced, so why do I have to do all kinds of calculations?"
Shiren smiled bitterly: "You won't believe it, and you will never try." β
Lu Qiming said: "Why did the predecessors say this?"
Shi Daodao: "You have been cultivating ordinary people's exercises all along, but those are not helpful to you. Only when you are completely free from the mortal womb of the flesh is the most suitable state for you. The people of the Spirit Alliance have been guiding you to cultivate your martial arts, but in fact, you have bad intentions, the stronger your cultivation is, the more you will be dragged down by your physical body...... But even if you've heard about it now, you probably won't take the risk of trying it. β
Because in the minds of ordinary people, physical destruction means death.
Lu Qiming was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The predecessor is right, if it is this kind of thing that can only be verified after death...... I really didn't dare to try it. β
Shi Ren suddenly said, "Haven't you ever tried?"
Lu Qiming did not speak.
Shiren looked at him calmly and said, "No matter what, I will always guard you." β
Lu Qiming asked, "What do I need to do?"
The stone man replied, "Do whatever you want." β
Lu Qiming said: "Anything?"
Shi Daodao: "What we think is right may not be really right. But you are different. β
Lu Qiming smiled and sighed.
It's hard to tell how he feels, but at least it's not easy, and there's no joy either. The more you get for nothing, the more the cost comes with it, and that's always been the case. What's more, there are countless contradictions and doubts in these things, and what the truth is, we can only listen to it first, and then take a step at a time.
Lu Qiming didn't continue the topic, raised his head and smiled: "Please talk to my seniors about the Eternal Silence Stage." β
The stone man looked at him for a moment and nodded.
......
When Lu Qiming left the iron shop and returned to the inn by the lake, it was already dark.
He raised his finger and lightly pressed his eyebrows, and the ghostly light of Mo Linglong flashed, and then disappeared again.
The evening breeze blows, and so do the stars in the sky.
