Chapter 1099: Lu Yi’s Dream (2)
"Boy, why are you crying?"
As Lu Yi burst into tears, a slightly hoarse voice sounded beside him.
Lu Yu looked up and saw a faint bright light. It was a skinny, short, but vigorous old man. He had three small buns on his head with his little hair. He was holding a branch in his hand and looking down at himself lying on the grass stem with a smile.
Behind the old man's head, there is a very faint light. At first glance, it seems dim and weak, but if you look carefully, you can see endless rivers and mountains, infinite universes, and countless living beings reproducing and breeding in it.
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously bowed to the old man.
He told the little old man everything about his background, origins, life and death throughout the centuries, and the horror he had learned from them.
"Poor me, I was originally a member of the Chaos God and Demon, but my roots are weak and my foundation is shallow. I live and die every day, and I can't live long." Lu Yi cried, "If this happens a few more times, my intelligence will vanish, and my true self will be annihilated from now on..."
The old man sighed softly: "Poor thing, poor thing, another one who cannot transcend. So, I will teach you a skill, so that you can have a chance to transcend, are you willing?"
Without waiting for Lu Yi to speak, the old man shook his head again and said, "It's a pity that you are a god or devil, but your foundation is so shallow. I don't know how much my ability can help you. It depends on your own luck!"
The old man gently touched Lu Yi's forehead with the branch in his hand, and a message like a clear spring flowed into his mind and was engraved in his soul. The extremely short hundreds of words, every word was a pearl, and contained extremely profound and mysterious truths. Lu Yi pondered for a while and suddenly froze in place.
The old man looked at the dazed Lu Yi, smiled slightly, and turned away.
Lu Yi came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice: "May I ask your name, senior? Thank you for your kindness, I..."
The old man didn't even turn his head, but stretched out a hand and waved it behind his back: "You don't need to repay me for anything. If my way can save the world, it proves that my way is right. If I can't even save a kid like you, it proves that my way is long and dangerous, and I still have to keep climbing."
"If you have achieved success in your practice, just save others."
"If your practice fails and you fall into the cycle of reincarnation, with your roots and spiritual wisdom destroyed, don't blame me."
The old man walked away in a carefree manner. Lu Yi saw that a few tall and strong men with hair tied in a bun and solemn faces were standing in a row in the distance , waiting for the old man. They gathered together and whispered a few words. A cloud of auspiciousness naturally rose under their feet, and they stepped on the cloud and left silently.
As the sun was setting, Lu Yi began to absorb and exhale inspiration for the first time on that grass stem, and to comprehend the great truth.
In his origin, a trace of vitality, although weak and inconspicuous, but vigorous and indomitable, was stimulated bit by bit.
Mayflies are the most pitiful little insects in the world. Other insects grow in spring and die in winter, at least they can experience the four seasons. Only mayflies live in the morning and die in the evening, and even "cannot speak of ice"... It is precisely such a weak and pitiful insect that can reproduce and grow between heaven and earth, and live forever. Although it is weak, the trace of life in its blood is more tenacious and powerful than some extremely powerful beasts and birds.
Although it is as lowly as mud, it can be found everywhere and no matter how much you trample on it, it cannot be destroyed.
The vitality in Lu Yi's bones is just like the soil that can be found everywhere, humble, inferior, but extremely long-lasting. Those powerful people who are high above may have fallen countless times, but only a small insect like him can quietly reproduce in an unknown corner, and his descendants are endless.
"I just want to live a little longer." Lu Yi told himself.
With each breath, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth mixed with a faint rhythm of the Great Dao was absorbed into Lu Yu's body using the secret method taught . Lu Yu quietly felt the changes in his body. His body was still weak and small, but his soul was growing bit by bit.
The growth of his soul fed back to his body, making his weak and tiny insect body slowly become stronger.
On this day, Lu Yi saw the sun set in the west and the moon rise in the east. Then, he watched the moon slowly set behind the western hills, and he survived tenaciously.
One day... two days... three days...
January... February... March...
He survived.
The shackles of lifespan that were destined in the blood of the mayfly were broken. With his extremely weak and tiny body, Lu Yi broke the bloodline limitations of his own race and survived tenaciously. He saw the sun rise and the moon set, he saw the spring rain and autumn frost, he saw the green pines frozen in winter, and he realized the timeless and powerful Tao contained in the cycle of the four seasons and the reincarnation of heaven and earth!
He flapped his weak wings, flew up to the sky, flew to the top of the mountain, walked into the deep valley, and even dived into the deep water without knowing whether to live or die. He quietly comprehended the mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, and gradually engraved the mysteries of heaven and earth into his soul and integrated them into his body...
He became stronger little by little, and then one day, his body was smashed to pieces by a figure running past him.
He died inexplicably, and he didn't even know which reckless bastard had killed him.
Fortunately, his soul had indeed transcended the limitations of his bloodline, and his soul had become a million times stronger than that of his descendants. His eyes went dark for a while, and when he regained his consciousness, he had landed on a newborn baby!
'people'!
'Lu Yi' was still confused and ignorant, but Lu Yi had already realized that in this life, he had finally thrown off the shackles of his innate bloodline. He had transcended, he had 'evolved', he had changed from a mayfly that lived and died in the morning to a 'human'!
The hundreds of words taught by the old man are deeply engraved in my heart.
He continued to silently absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, silently comprehend the great way of heaven and earth, and silently observe the "people" around him. They ate raw meat and drank blood, they used animal skins to keep warm, the men among them fought desperately in the wilderness every day, hunting for food, while the women were busy inside and outside the cave, picking fruits and collecting all usable crops.
When Lu Yu grew up to be five or six years old, his strength was enough to match the strongest adult male in the small tribe. He was about to show off his skills and show off his extraordinaryness, when a dragon shadow flew over from high in the sky. A child in the tribe pointed at the dragon shadow flying in the sky curiously, and the dragon lowered its head arrogantly and spit a fire towards the cave without paying attention.
The entire cave, the entire tribe, one hundred and thirty-seven men, women, young and old, and the entire mountain, were melted into magma!
Died again.
Reincarnate again.
In this life, he was still a "human". But this time, he was very lucky. He was not reborn in a small tribe, but in a large tribe of tens of thousands of people. With a stable life and good food and clothing, he grew up smoothly until he was ten years old... Just when he was about to show his extraordinaryness, the war came, and the big tribe next door attacked in full force. As a "boy" whose height exceeded the waist of an adult man, he was beheaded by a knife.
Die again.
Reincarnate once.
This time he was even luckier, as he was reborn into a large tribe of hundreds of thousands of people. The civilization of this tribe was obviously more developed, with knotted ropes to record events, pottery to make utensils, and they even learned to build huts and earthen walls to resist wild beasts.
'Lu Yi' thought that in this life he could grow up quietly, grow up safely, and practice little by little to reach the state of 'transcendence'.
As a result, one day, he saw a ray of light across the void, and a giant man who was ten thousand miles tall was furious and slammed headfirst into the pillar that stood at the core of the earth.
The pillars of heaven collapsed, the sky tilted eastward, and from the extremely high, far-reaching and mysterious high-dimensional sky, an endless stream of silver-colored water swooped down, and heavy rain poured down continuously. A flood as high as a hundred miles suddenly appeared on the earth, and countless mountain peaks were submerged by the flood. Countless demons, ghosts, ferocious beasts came out and frantically hunted for fat and delicious "people"!
When Lu Yi was fifteen years old, he was killed by a black panther with wings on its back in order to protect his mother!
Of course, when he grew to be fifteen years old, he already had some magical powers. When he was dying, he gathered all his strength, condensed a small lightning, and blew up the black panther's head.
Die again.
Reincarnate once.
The flood has receded, and in the void, one can see a beautiful woman with a giant snake's lower body, raising five-colored magma, busy repairing the gap leading to the earth from the broken high-dimensional sky.
The beautiful woman was busy and complaining at the same time. She possessed incredible magical powers. Countless creatures in the entire wild land could hear her scolding.
"Hey, why are you fighting so much? Wouldn't it be better to be quiet and calm?"
"Isn't it good to plant flowers, vegetables, and raise cats and dogs?"
"No fighting, peace!"
"Speaking of which, you bastards with meaty brains, do you know what 'peace' means?"
'Lu Yi' was just curious about who this beautiful half-human, half-snake woman was.
Lu Yu, who was 'watching', was already overwhelmed with emotion and almost shouted out loud - this, this... the figure who broke the pillar of heaven, this beautiful woman who repaired the sky, this is clearly, clearly... the myth he was most familiar with in his previous life!
The work of mending the sky continues.
Lasted for a hundred years.
Among the tribes of "humans", there are those with great wisdom who comprehend the heaven and earth, imitate the universe, and realize the magical powers that belong to "humans".
They call themselves "witches"!
They walked the land, killed evil spirits, drove away wild beasts, and spread civilization. They established agriculture, learned writing, established etiquette, and drafted rules...
'Lu Yu' saw with his own eyes that the primitive and barbaric human tribe had the most primitive 'tribal alliance' structure, and concepts such as 'tribe', 'surname', 'bloodline' and 'clan' gradually took shape!
When he grew up, he became a wise and powerful "Witch", running around in the wild land day and night.
Occasionally, a mayfly would fly past him.
He would also stop and think thoughtfully, looking at those insects that are born and die in a day with a smile!
