Chapter 248: Star Dou is a chess game
Deer Blood was pitiful, for he had experienced what was arguably the most painful thing in the world.
The career is bumpy, the family is ruined, especially seeing his relatives die in humiliation in front of his eyes, although he was lucky enough to pick up a life, but the blow to his mood is devastating.
The people of the state of Chen are also pitiful, they have been ruled by the powerful chaebols for several generations, and they are finally freed, but they are overwhelmed by the evil thoughts of deer blood, especially those innocent people.
And from the perspective of the Jinghe Demon Fetus, he doesn't think that he has done anything wrong, because he has made a deal with Lu Blood, and because he wants to live, he needs to do whatever it takes.
It's like cultivating immortals, if you don't seek immortality, if you don't cultivate, if you can't indulge happily, if you don't become a demon.
Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin listened to this absurd but irrefutable theory in silence, and their hearts were full of thoughts.
Because I'm not a person all the way, I can't think about many things for others, and even if I don't agree, the only thing I can guarantee is not to make myself such a person.
Make a deal with the Demon Fetus.
Ning Shu had never understood why this deer blood could live for so long, from the flood to the world. Because in the cognition of today's cultivation world, immortality has long been invisible, and even the characters from thousands of years ago are not sure if they still exist, let alone this demon fetus that was born with the beginning of heaven and earth, and the story of deer blood made him vaguely understand the reason for this.
On the basis of these conditions, the demon fetus combined with the rules of Shinto belief in immortality and immortality, turned the gods into puppets, parasitized on the gods, and survived with the power of faith, but this is not orthodox Shinto after all, so it cannot meet the needs of the demon fetus......
Inferring this, Ning Shu couldn't help but shrink his pupils, if he needed to change the host regularly...... So how many gods have died in his hands after the demon fetus has lived for so long?
He seemed to have discovered something important.
......
......
The old river god is like this, the deer blood is like this, and there are many more people who will be like this.
Parasitism was very common in Ning Shu's secular life in the first fourteen years, especially in the mountains and forests.
For example, a mushroom that grows on the trunk of a tree and survives with nutrients from the tree, a small crab that parasitizes a snail, or a magpie that puts its eggs in the nests of other birds.
Professor Taifu Like once said that this is a means of survival, because only by doing so can we live better, but this is contrary to etiquette and law, and it is a selfish path.
Mushrooms will divide the nutrients from the plant and cause the plant to wither, crabs will remove the meat from the snail and live in it themselves, and the magpie chick will throw all the original eggs out of the nest after birth and enjoy the food for themselves.
This is a story that many children know, because doing so satisfies themselves without considering the meaning of the main thing at all.
It is for disobedience to the law.
Ning Shu even had some doubts about whether the Demon Dao between heaven and earth was a higher-level embodiment of this rule.
When he was a child, he had seen those famine refugees outside the city of Ping'an, and he did not hesitate to turn his back on his companions and relatives in order to compete for food, and he also magnified this experience on the meditation tower, and even experienced it himself.
Isn't the evil in human nature the so-called demons?
In order to survive, you can do whatever it takes to find food, and then devour human flesh, even your wife and children, this behavior is very similar to the Demon Dao.
The impression left by such a personal experience is deeper than seeing hundreds or thousands of cases in books, so even if Ning Shu cultivates the Immortal Dao, he can also feel the thick blood qi emanating from this temple very clearly.
It can't be changed.
Ning Shu used to think that as long as he was strong enough, he could change more things, such as saving others, such as revenge, but now he was a little skeptical about the effect of doing so.
If it is said that it was he who rescued the deer blood at that time, and then he went to persuade the deer blood to let go of the evil thoughts in his heart and go to the light from now on, it is not realistic at all, but it is very hypocritical, maybe only by falling into the devil's way and trading with the demon fetus is really a choice suitable for the deer blood.
Anyone who wants to think about others without regard to their actual situation is a kind of pathological enthusiasm, or a kind of selfishness.
How is this different from the devil?
Ning Shu was a little confused in such a clear to chaotic thinking, while Xu Yuanxin was even worse, because she didn't have the real experience like Ning Shu, and the so-called worldview was established on a roll of bud paper, which was naturally easier to shake.
"There are thousands of faces in the world, you can be me, I can be you, as long as the goal is the same, we are the same kind of people. ”
In a word, what happened next was the most incredible picture that Ning Shu had ever seen since he set foot on the practice.
I saw the deer blood wave lightly with his hand, and the statues of the gods, stone pillars, stone beams, incense burners, and everything around this inner temple disappeared like a gust of wind in a blink of an eye.
The stone steps behind him, the murals on the stone walls, and the Jing River outside the temple have all disappeared.
And the surrounding environment has become a cave.
The cold breath came to the bone, and the ground was covered with white bones, some new, some weathered and mutilated.
It's hard to imagine how many bones are piled up here, and they are clustered around each other like a sea of white flowers.
Ning Shu could feel that there was a kind of divinity flowing on these bones, and there were many bones with the breath of Dharma on them.
These were once gods and monks.
Wandering endlessly, it continues beyond the cave.
It was as if it had just rained in the cave, and the humid air was accompanied by the smell of earth and the decay of corpses, and there was an indescribable smell, not good, but very addictive.
And the deer blood is sitting on the white bones at this moment, he is no longer as approachable as in the inner temple of the temple, he exudes a dark demonic aura at this moment.
Because he knew the identity of Lu Blood in advance, Ning Shu was not too surprised by such a change in personality, but it was the change in the scene that caught him off guard.
He had doubted the authenticity of this piece of heaven and earth, even if he crossed the weak water by boat, walked through the stone steps and saw the murals, and confronted the deer blood in the inner hall, although it was very real, he still felt that it was very fake, and at this moment in this cave, the white bones were paved with the ground, damp and mysterious, it stands to reason that after breaking the illusion, it should feel real, but Ning Shu felt even more false.
It's like...... I had a dream and woke up to find that I didn't wake up, but in another dream.
This is something that Ning Shu has never encountered, the previous experiences of breaking the illusion, he knows that it is false, he just needs to find an opportunity to break it, but at this moment he has no way to distinguish.
Shocked, he shook his head when he saw Lu Blood and said, "I told the story of Lu Blood before, and now I will tell you my story." ”
This is very weird, just like Ning Shu said to Yuan Youtao, Ning Shu is dead, and I am the one who is alive now.
The contradictions between the subjects are very strange, but Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin understand it, and the next thing they will hear should be the story of the Jinghe Demon Fetus.
Ning Shu thought to himself that he had been alone for too long, and he couldn't stop talking if he found someone who could talk.
Although he can think so casually in his heart, the perception world behind his eyebrows seems to be covered with a layer of fog, and he can only follow the movements of the deer blood to think.
Lu Blood sighed: "I was born in this cave, but I don't want to die here. ”
"Everyone knows that the water of the Jing River originates at the foot of the Kunlun Mountain, but they don't know that this is the eye of the Jing River. I was born here when the heavens and the earth first opened, and after a long period of precipitation, I finally opened my spiritual wisdom and could be born, which is the so-called innate soul. ”
"At that time, there was no kingdom between heaven and earth, only all spirits, and when I saw people crossing through the sky, I realized that there were many people like me. ”
Lu Blood withdrew his gaze from Ning Shu, stroked the white bones around him with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I was born later than them, so I can't compare to powerful beings like Dao Ancestor, Heavenly Emperor, and Ancestral Witch in terms of cultivation, but what I didn't expect is that those acquired beings actually surpass me, which is really unacceptable." ”
"But after all, I was lower than others in the realm, and at that time, the weak and the strong ate the strong in heaven and earth, especially a congenital creature like me with a low realm, it was easy to be refined by people and take my life, so in order to protect myself, I joined the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, and was given the Wind and Rain God Monument by the Emperor of Heaven, becoming the original river domain god. ”
Ning Shu remembered the stone tablet that he had seen on the shore of the weak water before, which was obliquely inserted on the ground and engraved with the words wind and rain, which was said to be the star god talisman sealed by the demon clan before the flood and famine, and it turned out to belong to the Jinghe demon fetus.
"It's true that it's a star god, but it's also a pawn of the Emperor of Heaven. ”
Lu Blood lowered his head, showed a bitter smile, crushed the white bones in his hand into powder with his index finger and thumb, and said: "The Emperor of Heaven uses the heavens and stars as a chessboard, and every star god who has been enshrined is a chess piece on it, and this kind of chess piece is to work for the Emperor of Heaven at a critical time. ”
"In the battle of the flood famine, we were forced to fight with those characters who cultivated to the heavens and the earth, so as to buy a little time for the Emperor of Heaven, although I returned to the heavenly court and cultivated to a great rise, but I was not the opponent of those people, the star gods around me all fell, and I fell into the Jing River after being cut by a sword. ”
"Maybe it's because I was born in the Jing River, so I didn't fall, but on the contrary, I broke free from the constraints of the Emperor of Heaven, and since then I have been lurking in this wind and rain across the water. ”
Lu Blood suddenly laughed as he spoke, looking very proud, and then continued: "Later, I saw the collapse of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, and when I heard about the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, my heart was extremely happy, and I knew that it was precisely because I was out of the control of the Heavenly Emperor that the Heavenly Emperor's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array was incomplete, so he failed." ”
"With Zhou Tian as the chessboard, how can he win without a son?"
"Since then, I have discovered that only by keeping myself immortal can the future have infinite vitality. ”
