The old Taoist priest smiled, "There are some things that can't be explained. ”

"Really? Uncle, don't you think I'm not qualified to know those things? Lu Cheng also smiled, if the old Taoist priest opened his mouth again, he was ready to show off his net worth. Anyway, it's not an outsider, and the old monsters have seen it, so there's no reason to hide it from the old Taoist.

"Let's put it this way, the so-called 'great tribulation', you can understand it as 'reincarnation'." Unexpectedly, after sighing, without waiting for Lu Cheng to show more hole cards, the old Taoist priest himself revealed the answer.

"From ancient times to the present, a thousand years of catastrophe. This rotation is a change in the entire Kyushu World Psionic Field. Ever heard of the reversal of the Earth's north and south magnetic poles? He asked Lu Cheng.

"I've heard of it," Lu Cheng slightly recalled the knowledge he had heard in class, "In prehistoric times, the north and south magnetic poles of the earth were reversed many times, and I can't remember the specific time and direction of the magnetic poles, but they did exist. ”

"It's the same with the psionic field," the old Taoist priest smiled with satisfaction, "Whether it's a psychic or a demon clan, the source of our strength is all the abundant and abundant psionic energy around us, just like a fish swimming in the water, swimming forward with the slapping of its body against the water waves. Bloodline is our tail and fins, and psionic energy is water everywhere. He made a figurative analogy, "And just like the changes in the north and south magnetic poles, the psionic field will also change." This cycle of change is a thousand years. Every time a thousand years come, the psionic division in the land of Kyushu undergoes a huge change, which is tantamount to turning the environment where freshwater fish live into sea water with a sudden increase in salinity. Just as the change of the north and south magnetic poles will bring great disasters to the earth, the harm of the psionic field to the demons and the underworld is equally devastating. And this once-in-a-millennium cycle is what we call the 'Great Tribulation'. ”

Looking at Lu Cheng's widening eyes, the old Taoist priest shook his head with a wry smile, "Every time the catastrophe comes, it is a reshuffle of the entire two worlds of living beings. Many people with the bloodline of the underworld and the blood of the demon clan will die because they are not strong enough, and the gate of the secluded capital that is isolated from life and death will also be affected by the imbalance and open uncontrollably. A thousand years ago, Jin Yuan destroyed the two Song Dynasty, and the original population of 90 million was only 8 million after the war. Of the recorded deaths, one-tenth were descendants of the demon and underworld races who had unfortunately died! No one knows what will happen when the catastrophe comes, and the historical records of the past dynasties are difficult to exhaust because of the large number of deaths. Our understanding of this catastrophe is limited to its horror, and we do not know anything about its causes, processes, or ways to deal with it.

"The only thing that is fortunate is that before the catastrophe comes, there will always be a group of extremely powerful demon clans or psychics. In history, every famous sword master, demon clan master, and psychic emperor in the annals of history, eight out of ten were born in response to the catastrophe. They are a flashback to the previous era, and they are also the last force with the last luck, the only one who can fight the catastrophe. This is the truth you need to know. Satisfied now? ”

He looked at Lu Cheng, with the expectation and sincerity of father to son, master to apprentice in his eyes.

"I see." Lu Cheng nodded, and learned the truth that had been difficult to touch, and his heart was so empty. "So, in your eyes, I should be the one who should be robbed?" He laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"If you don't explain it that way, a lot of things don't make sense." The old Taoist priest smiled, which was affirmative. "And it's not just you, it's also your contemporaries and others. Without exception, these are all the things that we, the older generation, rely on to survive the calamity. When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. There will only be one winner among all the robbers, and if you are on the wrong team, you will never recover. ”

"Got it." Lu Cheng nodded, "The gambling game in your mouth turned out to be like this." So, uncle, you're putting all the treasure on me, aren't you? ”

"Or else?" The old Taoist priest smiled and lit a cigarette, "Actually, I didn't think about it that much, anyway, the catastrophe is coming, and there is still a little light and heat on my body, so I have to contribute this resource and mental strength." I have no wife and no children, I am alone, unlike those Yan Jun, I have nothing to expect, I just saw you, and I think it is quite my taste, so I reached out and pulled you. How else to talk about fate? I don't expect what you kid will do in the future, although looking at the current situation, you have stabilized those competitors, but how do the juniors develop and what does it have to do with me, a lonely person? He patted Lu Cheng's juniors, as if he was afraid that he would think too much because of this, "Someone has helped you take a fancy to your potential, but you have to believe that there are still many people in this world who really care about you." ”

"Understood." Lu Cheng nodded, and suddenly felt a little sour on his nose.

From the beginning of his acquaintance, whether it was his inaction at the beginning or the step he has come to today, he has seen what the old Taoist priest has done. Calling him "uncle" is not just out of politeness, but in his heart, this crazy old guy is indeed his uncle!

"Uncle, don't worry," he squeezed out a smile so that he could look so strong and untouchable in the eyes of the other party, "If it is really born in response to the catastrophe, then this catastrophe is coming, and with my breath, there will be no replacement of the name of the Heavenly Master." ”

"Silly boy, don't let you think too much!" The old Taoist priest shook his head, but the relief in his eyes could not be concealed, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, carry any burden on yourself." I know that many people have high hopes for you, but how you live is your own business, and some people feel that they have the ability to control the overall situation, so let them wait and see if things will develop beyond their expectations of what they thought would be seamless. ”

"You mean that in addition to these people on the surface, there are forces behind me that I can't see, right?" Lu Cheng vaguely heard the message in his words, "Demon Clan, through the Hades Temple." I've already seen the top ten Yan Jun, what else do I haven't come into contact with? ”

Lu Cheng asked eagerly.

He had long known that in addition to the Ten Palaces Yan Jun who was clearly visible, there were other more unpredictable characters who had not appeared. Including Ye Tianxing, they are the biggest behind-the-scenes players in the whole game of chess. It's just that even today, with his strength, he still can't touch the layer of darkness behind the dark sky. So he was wondering if the old Taoist priests themselves knew everything about Ye Tianxing.

"I've told you enough, and the rest of the stuff, even if I tell you now, won't do anything." The old Taoist priest smiled, took a cigarette, picked up the two noodle bowls on the table, and sent them back to the kitchen.

Lu Cheng realized that he was going to cut the topic, so he hurriedly followed, but he was helpless to ask, the old Taoist priest did not say a word, his attitude was tough, and it seemed that he did not intend to confide in another word.

Seeing that he had just had the opportunity to contact the truth behind it, and all the clues were cut off, Lu Cheng couldn't help but feel deeply depressed.

What can he do? Tie up this Taoist uncle and hang him, and ask him if he will say it or not?

So after a period of fruitless questioning, the two finally fell silent. Lu Cheng knew that no matter how much he asked, he couldn't get the result, and the old Taoist priest also washed the dishes by himself, looking at it easily.

After a while, when the sound of the water from the faucet above the sink finally stopped, the old Taoist priest also shook off the water droplets on his hand, wiped them on his apron casually twice, and then cast a light smile at Lu Cheng again.

"Let's get down to business." He smiled, the cigarette in his mouth half-lit, "Are you still going to run away from this crusade?" As I said, it was a war between the two races of the Underworld. ”

"Can't I do without?" Lu Cheng plucked out his ears, and his attitude was probably more or less affected by the fruitlessness of the previous questioning. "I've had something to do during this time, really something."

"Alas," the old Taoist priest then sighed, "Most of the leaders of the same generation have participated, and the scale of this crusade can be ranked as the largest in a hundred years. It's okay if you don't participate, it's just that you don't have the opportunity to see. Besides, your dad is coming, so don't you really want to meet him? ”

"My daddy?!" Lu Cheng's eyebrows furrowed, and he was almost scared out of heart attack by this sentence.

"King Bian Cheng. Isn't he your father? The old Taoist priest's tone was very natural, and he couldn't tell that he was joking at all.

"Don't make a fuss." Lu Cheng returned him with a big roll of his eyes, it turned out that he was talking about this after making trouble for a long time. Ever since the Mind Eater incident when King Bian Cheng assigned the main credit to himself in the main hall of the Tongsha Temple, this kind of gossip about him being Chu Han's illegitimate son has been widely circulated. At the beginning, in order to cover up the fact that he could demonize, Lu Cheng deliberately did not deliberately refute the rumors, thinking that the rumors stopped at the wise, and this kind of news that he knew was nonsense at first would spread for a while at most, and if it became popular, King Bian Cheng himself would stand up and speak. Who would have thought that after half a year, this matter would still spread so powerfully, and looking at the meaning of the old Taoist's words, this kind of groundless trend not only did not stop there, but also had a tendency to intensify!

"Say it again, I really have nothing to do with King Bian Cheng!" He roared indignantly, a hundred people in his heart who didn't understand where this group of psychics came from with such a brain hole to be able to sing such a non-existent play.

King Bian Cheng is indeed very good to him, and for such an unsmiling and upright Yan Jun, Lu Cheng also respects him in every way, but no matter what, this kind of thing is too much, right?

"What is our relationship? You and I don't have to pretend, do we? The old Taoist priest laughed and put his arm around his shoulder, "The king of Bian Cheng himself has admitted it, you kid still pretending to be garlic?" ”

"King Bian Cheng himself admitted it?! Uncle, you're making a bit of a big joke. Lu Cheng himself laughed twice. But then, seeing the serious eyes of the old Taoist, the smile on his face began to stiffen little by little.

The old Taoist priest glanced at him meaningfully, and then extinguished the unburned cigarette in his hand, "It turns out that you kid doesn't know yet?" He put away the look of pretending to be crazy and stupid, and looked at him with a smile, "After you robbed the marriage last time, the next day King Bian Cheng rushed to Kyoto, and fought against the other three Yan Jun who advocated the execution of you by force, except for the neutral King of Chujiang and King Wuguan, and left a bold statement of 'Is my son not worthy of his eldest daughter with ghost pupils', to the effect that if someone dares to touch you a hair, he Bian Cheng doesn't mind fighting to the death." Otherwise, do you think that just a few words from your prospective father-in-law, the matter of Yan Jun being collided with by you in the five halls of the five halls can be silenced and the past will not be blamed? Don't be too naïve, you weren't a great onion in Yan Jun's eyes at that time. ”

In the confusion and incomprehension on Lu Cheng's face, the old Taoist priest laughed, "Speaking of which, the old guy of Chu Han held the famous sword Frost Cry and stood proudly on that day, probably the elegance of the Ten Palaces Yan Jun was peerless, and it was nothing more than that. ”

He was still talking, but Lu Cheng had no intention of listening to it anymore.
