Chapter 240: Doing Good and Accumulating Virtue
The old man's answer made Fan Wu puzzled, he didn't know what he really meant, and couldn't help but interject and ask:
"Old man, wait a minute, yes or no?
The old man who called himself the old banyan tree smiled and said:
"Young man, don't be anxious, I'll talk about this later, I want to ask you first, where did you come to the ancestral temple?"
"Oh, I'm coming in from Zushan City, is there any other place where I can come in?"
Fan Wu was a little confused, so could this ancestral temple still lead to other places?
After listening to what Fan Wu said, the old man paused, turned his head thoughtfully and looked at the part of the ancestral temple, and then turned back to Fan Wu and said:
"Of course, the ancestral temple can be connected to several places, you said that you came in from Zushan City, that is to say, you came in through the passage of the human world, has it been such a bad situation outside? ”
Although Fan Wu was anxious to know some things about the ancestral temple, since the old man asked about the situation outside, he had to patiently tell him everything he had encountered when he returned to the world during this time.
It was not very detailed, but some important points had already been said, and the old man fell into deep thought again after listening to his account, and Fan Wu did not disturb him.
After pondering for more than 5 minutes, the old man came back to his senses and began to answer Fan Wu's words again:
"Just now you asked if this place belongs to the human world, and I can clearly answer that you are now. ”
Fan Wu didn't expect that the old man would say something like this after thinking about it for so long, but he was still a little unclear:
"Is it now? That means it wasn't before? Can you please explain it clearly, old man?"
The old man also knew that his answer like this would cause Fan Wu to be incomprehensible, so he then gave a general explanation of the origin of the ancestral temple, so that Fan Wu could barely understand why he said this.
According to the old man, it turned out that the ancestral temple did not belong to any sect or family on earth, but the temple of a certain extraterrestrial race, similar to the concept of ancestral halls on earth.
This extraterrestrial race came to Earth with a mission a long, long time ago, and this ancestral temple was a place of prayer for these visitors to communicate with the original race, but it has been slowly forgotten as these people gradually integrate into the earth.
The reason is that these people who came to the earth have been passed down from generation to generation, and most of them have forgotten the main mission of coming here, and there are still a few people who have not forgotten and have almost no ability to achieve their goals, and they can't compete with those who forget their roots, and they are expelled from the scope of the ancestral temple, so the ancestral temple slowly loses its original function.
Fortunately, there is also a clan who remembers the mission of the year, and there is a more capable clansman who hid the ancestral temple at the last moment, otherwise this place may be destroyed by those clansmen who have forgotten their roots, and completely cut off the connection with their own clan.
And the way to hide the ancestral temple is to store the ancestral temple in the gap between several worlds, wandering between various worlds, so the ancestral temple can connect several worlds.
At the junction of the world is Zushan City, but it is not the ancestral temple that Fan Wuzai saw in modern times, it is just a place rebuilt by the descendants of those who have forgotten their own people, according to historical documents and other things.
In fact, they don't remember the real purpose of the ancestral temple at all, they just regarded it as a place to commemorate their ancestors, and later developed into a scenic tourist spot, which is really a bit ridiculous.
What Old Banyan and Fan Wu said is the history of the real ancestral temple, which is a place used to communicate with the outer world, so there is no such thing as an incense burner or anything like a god at all.
Hearing the old man's introduction, Fan Wu's attitude was half-convinced, because he had no way to know the truth at all, and in fact, he didn't care much about the truth of this matter, as if it had nothing to do with him.
But after listening to the old man's next words, he began to believe it again, because the old man said that he was Fan Wu's true identity, and he was the second group of people from this extraterrestrial race to come to Earth.
Unlike the first batch, only Fan Wu came this time, and as for the purpose of coming, the old banyan tree didn't know, but he knew that Fan Wu had the authority to control the ancestral temple.
But when Fan Wu asked what this permission was and how to control it, the old man couldn't answer at all, because he was just the soul of this banyan tree, and the main role of the banyan tree was to protect Fan Wu's leaves, and he couldn't control the affairs of the ancestral temple.
Not to mention the ancestral temple, he can't take care of Fan Wu's affairs, he just guards the leaves, and when the leaves fall, his role will come to an end, and other things are not his turn.
To put it bluntly, in fact, he is just a security guard, not a security guard of the ancestral temple, but a security guard of the leaves, as for the things about these leaves, he is relatively clear.
According to him, these leaves represent the various generations of Fan Wu, although Fan Wu is the second group of people who came to the earth, but in fact, the time to come is not short, the old banyan tree does not have much concept of time, but hundreds of millions of years is definitely more than that.
Because the old banyan tree said that the patio here is a big or small place, the original range is very large, it turns out that there are a lot of banyan trees planted, although he is not very clear, but there are definitely more than 100 trees.
Because a banyan tree here represents a clan, a leaf represents the life of the clan, all generations of clansmen and their sons and daughters are qualified to plant a banyan tree with a real name here, so there are more than 100 trees at the most prosperous time.
Later, I thought that there was a traitor, and after the ancestral temple began to hide, I didn't have the heart to plant a banyan tree, and then as the first and second generations of clansmen disappeared, the banyan tree with my real name also began to destroy and wither, and slowly only Fan Wu was left.
At the same time, the old man also told Fan Wu that in fact, there were countless leaves on the banyan tree, representing the countless lives that Fan Wu had experienced, but since decades ago, the leaves began to wither and fall one by one, and then no new ones have grown, so what Fan Wu saw this time is what it looks like now.
Originally, according to the law, every life of Fan Wu will be recorded, even if the leaves fall naturally, they will grow again and be preserved, if there are no new leaves, it proves that someone is deliberately cleaning up the traces left by Fan Wu in the world.
And through terrible means, the connection between him and heaven and earth will be cut off, and only when the connection between life and heaven and earth is completely severed, the leaves here will completely fall and not grow again.
When all connections have been severed and all the leaves have fallen, all traces of this person's presence in the world will be cleared, indicating that this person has never appeared in this world again.
So Fan Wu received those leaves before and saw the picture inside, not that those Fan Wu were dying at the same time, but that someone was cutting off the connection between these Fan Wu and heaven and earth, and completely clearing them out.
If the remaining 72 leaves also fall, then Fan Wu will really be finished, even if it is not finished, it is meaningless to have the remaining piece representing Fan Wu's current situation.
Because as long as the other leaves are finished, it means that Fan Wu is now a new life in this life, and the traces and accumulated luck left between heaven and earth will all disappear, which is equivalent to saying that the current Fan Wu will be a little white between heaven and earth.
If there is no foundation and accumulation, there will not be any heaven and earth luck in the body at all, everything must be re-fought by oneself, and it must be accumulated all over again.
When the old man explained this, Fan Wu raised a question about luck and accumulation, he didn't quite understand what this luck was, and it was not good to fight for it with his own hands? What was the real effect of the so-called accumulation in the past?
The old man did not directly answer Fan Wu's question about what luck was, but first answered him about the benefits of accumulation.
The old man said a lot of content, but it may be just a tree soul, so the expression is still lacking, and the words are more messy, but the general meaning is still clear.
What he mainly meant was that no matter what sect or religion in the world always taught the world to accumulate good and virtuous virtues, in fact, this really makes sense, and it is in line with the rules of heaven and earth.
Except for a very small number of demons who go against the sky, everything has to be done according to the trend, but if there is only a lifetime of time, it is not very meaningful to accumulate good and virtuous virtues, because these are things that can only be fulfilled in the next life.
The accumulation of the said is mainly these good deeds, not a substantial item, a lifetime of good deeds can be exchanged for the success of the next life, a lifetime of accumulation of virtue can be exchanged for the talent of the next life.
Therefore, those geniuses who have not been met for thousands of years, or even for thousands of years, are actually blessings obtained in exchange for doing good deeds and accumulating virtues.
However, this also has a lot to do with the fate of the parties, some people have a report in one life, and the fortune is relatively shallow, and some people are reported in several lifetimes, and the fortune is a little thicker, if it takes dozens or even hundreds of generations to get a report, then his fortune can be imagined to what extent it will be deep.
This so-called good fortune is what people often call luck, but there is not much good fortune in ordinary people at all, not to mention luck or bad luck, only those who have accumulated good deeds for several lifetimes will have such a thing as luck.
Generally speaking, no matter whether the luck is strong or not, the light is to worship the marquis, and the good ones can compete in the world and be the co-master of the world.
As for those who have gained luck in dozens or hundreds of lifetimes, they will definitely embark on the path of cultivation and cultivate the art of immortality.
Of course, most people's luck has been consumed in reincarnation, so even if they can have a high starting point, it is still full of thorns, whether it is to be an ordinary person or to cultivate immortals and cultivate gods, it is a lot of tests.
At this time, it depends on everyone's creation and enlightenment, if you continue to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, then this path will be much smoother, if this starts to flutter, it is estimated that even if you embark on the path of cultivation, it will be easy to wither.
