"That is to say, everything in front of you will disappear at any time?" Xia Chan continued, he knew better than anyone that the winter of the Phoenix Spirit Land was coming.

"Who knows, no one wants to, no one has a choice, always prepare for the worst. Lou Dad looked at the young Xia Chan, and his heart was also a little compassionate, "If that day really comes, you who are admitted to the Immortal Academy will probably be the only savior of our family." ”

"Dad. Xia Chan interrupted Lou's father's pessimistic thoughts, "Our family will get better and better." ”

"I love to hear that. Lou's mother pointed her ears, she gently put down the tray full of dishes, "Old building, apply for the renovation of the house in the second half of the year, this dilapidated building is uninhabitable." ”

"Wait, it's a good thing for a child to earn money, but he also has his own arrangements, so let's not make our own decisions. The decline in family status made Lou's father a little disappointed, but more relieved, his vision was much wider than Lou's mother, and he naturally knew that his son was walking on thin ice, and the way forward was still unknown.

"But don't let him do it himself, millions of dollars to gamble. Lou's mother screamed.

"What are you doing!" Outside the gate, Lou's grandmother's high-pitched smoke sounded, and there were two short car horns.

Lou's mother pushed open the hall door, and the family looked out.

At this time, a red old four-seater came to the small courtyard of the Lou family, and it was suspended off the ground, Lou Juli jumped out of the car and ran to the other side to help the old lady in the passenger seat.

"I'm not old enough to do anything. The old lady took off her goggles and stepped lightly into the car.

"Wow, sister, you bought a car!" Lou Mulan was the first to react.

"This one was bought for my grandmother. Lou Ju raised the car key of the Yinhuang car logo and said with a smile.

The old lady smiled happily and said: "Ju Li, this kid will cut first and then play, where can I, an old bone, drive this kind of flying car, this car can only be driven by children." ”

"Grandma, this car can drive autonomously, and we won't worry about grandma going out for tea and going home too late in the future. Lou Juli persuaded.

"Grandma, this car is given to you by me and my sister, and the license plate was also obtained by a friend, and the general traffic police don't dare to stop you, so you can accept it." Seeing Lou Juli eyeing at him, Xia Chan could only stand up, and the family had begun to get used to him as the backbone of the family.

Since Xiao Zen spoke, Grandma accepted the car. The old lady happily took the car keys handed by Juli downstairs, she looked up at the family around her, as well as the old courtyard, and suddenly burst into tears, "I can't imagine that our Lou family will have a day when old trees sprout." ”

Seeing that the old lady who usually had the same sea god needle at home suddenly burst into tears, the whole family panicked.

"Grandma. ”

"Grandma, don't cry. ”

"It's okay, grandma remembered the past, remembered your grandfather, and the brothers and sisters who died in the war. The old lady hugged the well-behaved Lou Mulan in her arms, reminiscing about the past with teary eyes.

Lou's father is only in his fifties, and the old ladies are over 100 years old, obviously Lou's father will not be the eldest son, there is a taboo in the Lou family, that is, grandma's four sons and two daughters who died in battle, every Qingming Festival, grandma will disappear for a few days, and then come back as if nothing happened.

Lou Dad is the young son of the old lady, the old lady was over half a hundred years old when he was born, when Lou Dad was fifteen years old, the old man Lou died due to injuries and illness, and the old lady couldn't help but be sad and burned the relics left by her relatives, so that the Lou family now knows a little about the Lou family's past, all of which Lou Dad later found through friends in the archives of relevant institutions.

"Grandma, can you tell us their story?" Lou Mulan obediently wiped away her grandmother's tears.

"Grandma has been holding back for most of her life, and I think you all know a little bit about it, so I just said it today. The years have engraved traces on Mrs. Mu's body, never as vivid as today, she stretched out her hand full of wind and frost, "Hoe, bring the medicine hoe in the warehouse." ”

With the help of Xia Chan and Lou's father, according to the old lady's instructions, they dug out a dilapidated wooden box one meter underground in a corner of the Lou's courtyard, took out an oilcloth bag in the wooden box, and finally took out an ancient genealogy from the oilcloth bag wrapped layer by layer, and some old photos that were old and had begun to blur.

"This genealogy has more than ten generations of records from the Lou family, including the ancestors of the old era, recently, your grandfather and one or two brothers who lost contact, and the others are almost dead, and you are the Miao Miao that the Lou family can see. ”

"This is the eldest brother and second brother of the seventh child, they are twins, they went to the army the year they graduated from high school, and they met the army of the lion remnants that year...... This is the third child, how beautiful this child was born, and he was admitted to a good university, this child followed the professor to participate in an enclave expedition and never returned...... This is the fourth child, my eldest girl, with straight eyebrows and a pretty nose, does she look a little like Mulan and became a military doctor in the army...... This is the old five...... This is Xiao Liu, he was exempted from military service, but he encountered a plague, and when he died, he was as big as Xiao Zen......"

The old lady was originally quite calm to tell, but she choked again, put down the photo in her hand, and shook her head and couldn't continue.

"Mom, don't say it, I know later that the plague killed 100,000 people that year, and it took a whole ten years before I was born. ”

"Yes, there was no you, but your father was unwilling to be left behind, so he made a test-tube baby and luckily had you again. ”

"Mom, my son is not filial. Lou Dad was a big fifty-year-old iron man and knelt down in front of the old lady's feet.

"It's my mother who didn't figure it out, your dead ghost father is also an old fool, our family is like this, where is this not the case in this world, there are many worse than us. The old lady slowly got up and pulled Lou Dad up, and her eyes fell on Xia Chan, who was alone in the corner.

Xia Chan was in a very strange mood at this time, he seemed to be an outsider, but he was inseparable from the Lou family at this time, he suddenly became interested in his biological parents' family for the first time at this time, if they were still there, where were they at this time?

"Little Zen. ”

"Grandma. ”

"You are a half-floor family, if you have the opportunity, you have to find the Xia family, as well as your mother's mother's family. ”

"Hmm. Xia Chan nodded yes and didn't say much.

It was a long night, and after the old building of the family came back, the old lady told the story of almost the whole night, including the story of her own youth, and the story of her deceased children, and there was only one thing that connected these stories, the blood and fire of the Phoenix Spirit Land.

The people of Phoenix are enjoying life because they have lost so much and don't know what tomorrow holds.

The story of the old lady is just a microcosm of the life of those who came over that age.

The children of the Lou family grew up in an era of unprecedented peace, and there are many signs that this peaceful day is coming to an end.

※※※

After the sun rose, the decisive battle was coming, Xia Chan still insisted on doing the morning class, and after meditating and breathing again and again, he was sure that after the last trip to the old world of the nightmare world, it seemed that the comprehension of cultivating true qi seemed to have been greatly improved.

If I had to describe it, it was originally locked in an eggshell, but now the eggshell has been knocked out of a hole, through which we can perceive the 'spirits' of the world and their operation more clearly.

Teresa had proposed to him a meditation method that contemplating existence is existence, and if you have even the slightest doubt about the existence of visualization, your sea of consciousness will not be able to construct a true form rune, because everything in the sea of consciousness is the true self, your will feedback.

In the knowledge system of the world, the inner will of all things is the spirit, also called the natural spirit, and the individual human naturally has the natural spirit, and once the root of the human individual blood is awakened, the blood spirit with special rules will be produced.

Bloodline Awakeners are born to rely on the bloodline root to nurture a 'Bloodline Spirit' with special rules, and they only need to visualize a visualization totem similar to their own 'Bloodline Spirit' projection, and the visualization will naturally grow and establish the corresponding rule runes.

However, people with ordinary qualifications, or people who cannot awaken the root of the bloodline, do not have the ancestral shade of the bloodline spirit, and can only rely on themselves to visualize the breath to find the corresponding 'natural spirit' to establish the visualization rune, which is ten times more difficult than a hundred times.

Xia Chan's qi refining qualifications are mediocre, and there is almost no bloodline root, if it weren't for Ruyi to provide him with the opportunity to enlighten, he would probably never have imagined having a true form rune through self-visualization for the rest of his life.

There is no bloodline root or insufficiency, and you can only rely on the 'tabula-rasa' spirit of ordinary people to seek resonance with the surrounding natural spirits, and the difficulty of ordinary people's qi refining is here, without enough vision, understanding and opportunity, it is difficult to comprehend and establish rule runes from the natural spirits.

There is a saying in the old world, knowledge is wealth, Xia Chan felt that this sentence may mean more to him than he imagined, through the memory of the old 'engineer' about physics, he had a subversive association with the cognition of the five elements from another level.

According to the exchange with Teresa, the Five Elements are different from the old era that was denounced as the original material origin theory, and the Lost Era is an old era endowed with spirits, which are not only the internal will of matter, but also the information of the world, and the free will of the world, the conscious presentation and overflow of the rules of the world.

If combined with the worldview of the old world, the abstract will of the world can be materialized and understood, and become real and credible in his cognition.

The water genus of the five elements here does not represent material water, but a fundamental rule of free will in the world, a manifestation of the rules of circulation and movement.

Assuming that matter has a will, then it will move, and the process and experience of material movement is information, and with information there is spirit, and matter has spirit, and nature has life, that is, aquatic wood, and wood is life here.

When the spirit is active, the intensification of the movement of matter will inevitably produce high heat, and the water will give rise to fire, and fire is the heat energy of matter here.

Heat can turn matter into a gaseous state, or even ionize, and when the matter condenses again, the electron cloud superposition produces soil, which is fire and earth.

When the soil accumulates to the mass and becomes larger and larger, the electrons and protons become neutrons and even black holes, and the indestructible gold is born, which is the native gold.

The extreme change of gold caused the collapse of matter and even the universe, and finally condensed into an origin, the pole of matter must be reversed, this origin exploded, reborn matter, and the five elements naturally entered the next new cycle.

By the time of Tushengjin, Xia Chan had barely made up his mind to interpret this world where matter could have free will based on the vague and chaotic knowledge of the old times.
