Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 141 Two Worlds as Human (II)
After listening to Xiang Bei describe everything he saw in the Ark of Winding Paths, Tianmo pondered for a long time without saying a word.
Xiang Bei waited until the end, seeing that he hadn't meant to speak, so he could only ask,
"Uncle Tianmo, Su Su has the grace to save my life, I can't watch her in danger and stand by. But Master Tiansong meant that if I came to the rescue, it would definitely lead to the result in the ark, and Su Su, and even the county lord of Zhaojin would die. It will even lead to the final white head of fire. I have promised Master Tiansong that I will abide by the agreement and practice with him with peace of mind. However, Uncle Tianmo, can you tell me whether everything in the ark is a fantasy or a prophecy, and the catastrophe we want to stop will really happen?"
Tianmo remembered the danger of traveling all the way north. Although Su Su's determined girl was repeatedly teased and angry by herself, she insisted on sending Xiang Bei to Baishou, and at that time he sighed at the arrangement of fate.
It is precisely because he has seen too many joys and sorrows in the world that he will put on a cynical and passable attitude, making the journey much easier, cherishing the present, which is his experience in this life's practice, life is like this, I don't know where life comes from, and I don't know where to go back, if I can see more than ordinary people, look at the longer term, then bear more pain, must be more than ordinary people.
Tianmo Zhengsedao,
"Xiang Bei, now it's time for me to call you a nephew, according to the arrangement of Senior Brother Tiansong, although you young people who stayed behind, although they worshiped the master according to the rules, they taught their skills and resisted the fate of the heavenly calamity, but they were the same. That is to say, several of you are apprentices, and several of us are masters, although Yuelai focuses on studying my divination, you will also learn some divination techniques from me in the future. Since you are already a member of our Heavenly Seal Realm, I can tell you about the Ark of Twisted Paths that I know. ”
Xiang Bei didn't say a word, and Tianmo continued to speak,
"Where our world came from and what will happen in the future is something that we in the game cannot predict and grasp, or in other words, everything we experience is predestined from the beginning. ”
This sentence happened to be heard by Yuelai, who came in from the door, she handed the ginger soup she brought in her hand to Xiang Bei, who was obsessed with listening, and interjected and asked, "Master, there is a question that I have never been able to figure out, if fate cannot be changed, why do we still study the art of divination." However, if divination can help us seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, why do most of those masters who are proficient in divination end up in a sad end. ”
Yuelai is referring to the great elder of the raccoon clan who is naturally good at divination, and it is said that his divination skills have been able to reach the ancient and modern, but in the end he disappeared along with the entire Qingqiu.
Tianmo's train of thought was interrupted by Yuelai, but he didn't change the topic, but waved his hand to let Yuelai sit down beside him. "You first patiently listen to the master talk about the inside story of the Ark of the Winding Path, some questions are difficult to explain clearly in one or two sentences. ”
Tianmo's understanding of the Ark of the Winding Path is indeed inextricably linked to the answer to Yuelai's questions.
This winding path ark, no one can tell what it is, in fact, there are very few people who have the opportunity to enter the ark, because the seemingly inconspicuous moon gate, the power of the ban on it is far from being activated by ordinary cultivation power.
"That means that only Uncle Tiansong can open it?" Yuelai couldn't help but interject again.
Tian Mo nodded, "Among our senior brothers, Senior Brother Tiansong's cultivation and comprehension are already far above the rest of the others. Speaking of this, there seemed to be a faint surge of color in Tianmo's empty eye sockets, and his worship of Tiansong was far from the envy of ordinary senior brothers.
But even so, I am afraid that Tian Song will activate the Ark of the Winding Path this time, and the cultivation that has taken decades will be wiped out, and he has never suffered such serious internal injuries when he slashed the Sha Xiao back then.
The Ark of Winding Paths contains the secrets of the world since ancient times. It is said to send people directly to wherever they need to go. As for where to go, there is no more information, because there are very few people who can go, and even fewer people who can come back.
"That is to say, Su Su will definitely die, the catastrophe will definitely happen, and we are just doing more meaningless struggles to meet the arrival of this moment?" This thought made Xiang Bei a little desperate, and the ginger soup he was holding in his hand forgot to put it to his mouth.
Tianmo was unmoved, but continued to use a calm tone to mention Yuelai's question,
"If everything is irreversible, then where does the art of divination come from, the power of inventing divination, and why did you feel the power of heaven and earth to create this divine art of insight into heaven and earth?"
Tianmo ignored Yuelai's surprise, snatched the soup bowl from Xiang Bei's hand, poured a bowl of hot ginger soup in one go, and then chirped, wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth with his cuffs, and let out a "Ha~" intoxicated.
Yuelai pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say that this is for me to warm up Brother Xiang Bei?"
Although she had long experienced Tianmo's shameless behavior sometimes, she still complained about how the white-bearded old man in the Taixuan Realm at that time had arranged such an unreliable master for herself.
Tianmo pretended not to hear Yuelai's complaints, and added even more shamelessly, "Well, in vain, the next time you cook ginger soup, you should put less sugar, and old people, things that are too sweet taste a little panic." ”
Yuelai was speechless, but fortunately, Tianmo hurried up to the topic and said something that surprised both Xiang Bei and Yuelai.
"People in the world think that the art of divination is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and even change their lives against the sky, and some people even think from the beginning to earn money and luck for themselves by studying divination. In fact, what this divination technique is, at least none of us who survive can say clearly. However, I can talk to you about my understanding of divination. ”
Tianmo is rarely humble in his words, which shows that this divination technique is indeed extremely heavy in his mind. According to him, divination is not to predict what will happen in the future, but to make the present make a more heavenly choice.
Perhaps, our world is not the only world.
At least the power that left the world with the art of divination was freed from the prison of this world. It is rumored that the heart of divination and the method of divination in this world are derived from the mythological characters of ancient times, Fu Zong, no one knows where Fu Zong came from, and he does not know where he is going, and even the proof of his existence is only people's word of mouth, but he left the world with the art of divination, known as the Hongmeng Proverbs. Unfortunately, this proverb has not been recognized by everyone because it is too obscure to understand.
In the period of civil and military affairs, the genius descended from heaven, named Wenzong, and got a God-given opportunity in the midst of the difficulties, and corrected the unique book of the remnants of the proverbs that were handed down, and explained them, leaving the gossip of the opening and righteousness for future generations.
"Yuelai, the divination technique I want to pass on to you is the gossip technique I have studied. Tian Mo specially emphasized to Yuelai on the side.
In our world, there is always something constant, and we are all just beings arranged by this world. In other words, we can't try to challenge the operation of this world, but every choice we make is a cause that will bring us into this world. Cause and effect succession, and the different effects should perhaps be called different worlds.
Tianmo's words were obscure, which confused the two young people beside him for a long time, Xiang Beizi carefully revisited it a few times, frowning,
"If that's the case, Uncle Tianmo, can I understand that there are many, many worlds like ours, because we have different choices, then we will enter different worlds? So, the place where the Ark of the Winding Path takes me is neither an illusion, nor our current world, but just a possibility of our world?"
Tianmo twisted his head and beard, this time it was not like he used to be, he wanted to use a few sparse goatees to pose a profound appearance, but finally understood why the senior brother Tiansong was so obsessed with Xiang Bei, the child.
The words he just said were some of the experiences he had faintly realized after studying divination all his life, and coveting some cross-border perspectives that the world could not see, and he even doubted that his painstaking description could clearly describe the illusory perception in his heart, but Xiang Bei, a child, a summary, made him feel as happy as enlightenment.
Divination is just to see more choices, and the so-called choices, like invisible arks, will send everyone who makes a choice to a different exit.
Every ark is just a part of destiny. It is not the passengers on the boat who carry the voyage of the ark, but the sea of destiny that cannot be understood at all.
Yuelai was also thoughtful, and the delicate face with delicate facial features vaguely revealed a solemn expression, but the enchantment between her eyebrows became more charming because of this dignified look.
"No wonder our raccoon people's innate premonition is only useful to those who are entangled with our fate, perhaps because we are the only passengers on the same ark. ”
Although until the end, Tianmo couldn't tell the mystery of the life of this winding path ark. Xiang Bei also had no way to confirm whether the death of Su Su and Zhao Jin seen in the ark and the destruction of the heavens and the earth could be avoided, but at least there was no need to doubt that those were illusions deliberately created by Tiansong, so as to force him to stay and practice.
Thinking that Tiansong did not hesitate to exhaust many years of cultivation, just to allow himself to prove that his stubbornness may backfire, and put Su Su and even the world into a catastrophe. Xiang Bei was grateful to this eccentric and even somewhat irritable master.
It seems that the choice is very important, but there is one point that is more important, that is, whether you are the Kyushu Luodan that Tiansong expects or not, if you don't have enough strength, you can't protect the existence you want to protect in the face of a strong enemy.
At least, the next time he faced the master in the detachment camp, Xiang Bei didn't want to feel the despair when he was powerless to resist.
Tianmo finally answered the question that Xiang Bei was most concerned about, "Child, Su Su is a good child, I'm the same as you, I don't want her to have anything to do, although we can't control the arrangement of fate, but at least I don't think Su Su is a short-lived person." ”
Tianmo didn't say anything, but it was enough to make Xiang Bei feel relieved. From this point of view, at least in the world where Xiang Bei is located, not only is he still alive, but Bai Shou has not yet flowed fire, and Su Su and Zhao Jin are also on their respective arks, drifting with the flow. Everything was arranged for the best.
It was getting late, and Xiang Bei was even looking forward to the night coming soon, and the spiritual path that Tiansong had arranged for him could start as soon as possible.
