Tianwei Chapter 284 Five Classics (1)
I hesitated a little, and the little beauty nudged me from behind with her fist, signaling me to take it quickly and not to stand there. I looked at my mother, and she had a gentle face, and there was nothing unusual about her.
Could it be that she really has no guilt towards me?
I lowered my head and took the Book of Life and Death from her hands.
This thing belongs to the underworld and should be returned to the judge. Although I saw it appear out of thin air in the underworld last time, the old Taoist grabbed it too quickly and I didn't have time to see it clearly. This time, I had the opportunity to take a closer look at it.
The Book of Life and Death is larger than ordinary books, more than 30 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, and looks more like an atlas. The surface is blue-green, with a faint black and red light flowing through it, which looks strangely beautiful.
However, there was no "Book of Life and Death" written on the surface, which made me feel a little strange. I wanted to see what the difference was between the writing in the underworld and the living world.
I touched the pages of the album and tried to open it, but the Book of Life and Death seemed to be stuck together and there was no way to turn it over.
This kind of thing is not meant to be flipped through, said the mother.
Huh? I looked at her in confusion.
God-given objects should not be desecrated. The gaze of ordinary people will only defile them. So you can only look at them, but not turn them over. Mother said.
What kind of nonsense is this... My head is filled with mud. You say that us ordinary people can't watch it, but you also say that we must watch it. Are you kidding me?
Look carefully, it's like you are looking for souls in the underworld, Grandpa Shi reminded.
I looked up and saw my mother looking at Grandpa Shi and shaking her head slightly, as if she was not happy. I knew she disliked me and thought that my qualifications and understanding were not worthy of the title of Basuo. But the more she said this, the more I wanted to confront her.
Thank you, Grandpa Shi! I shouted loudly. I couldn’t tell whether I was afraid or didn’t want to see my mother’s face. Anyway, when she turned around, I had already lowered my head and put my eyes back on the Book of Life and Death.
Grandpa Shi's reminder made me suddenly realize something. With a thought, the black and red lines on the book cover suddenly changed rapidly. They danced in front of my eyes, forming irregular patterns. They looked like runes and ancient characters.
The line was flying so fast, just like the data bar in The Matrix, you couldn't even see the number clearly as it passed by.
I could only keep imagining it in my mind to slow it down. Miraculously, the line really slowed down as I imagined.
I couldn't help but be amazed, this thing is just like Monkey King's golden hoop stick, but that stick can be big or small, while this thing can be fast or slow.
What makes me depressed is that although the speed of the characters has slowed down, I still can’t understand what is written on them.
Is it true that only literate people can understand this thing?
Bah! I'm not illiterate! I went to junior high school!
But then again, the Book of Life and Death is read with the heart, so what about these words? Can we also read them with the heart?
I calmed my mind, my will guided my thoughts, and in an instant, all the runes and ancient characters seemed to fly into my mind. A row of names and life spans flashed through my mind.
As expected, the Book of Life and Death does require careful reading to understand.
I was a little happy, this is one of the few truths I have figured out. After the great joy, my mind relaxed, and I was about to speak about this matter, but I heard Grandpa Shi ask: You didn't come here to deliver the Book of Life and Death, did you? This is not like you.
Of course not. The mother answered, she turned her head, glanced around, and said softly: I haven't been here for a long time, I wanted to come and see.
I was stunned. Has my mother been here before?
That's right! Little Beauty's mother was induced by her to come to the Five Elements to steal the Wood Spirit Pill, which led to all kinds of unfortunate things happening afterwards. I really don't believe that her mother has no connection with the Five Elements. With her personality, how could she harm someone for no reason?
Of course, this doesn't mean she is kind, but people always have a purpose when they do things. The only person who completes a task without a purpose is a dead person. What purpose can there be if the previous life is cut off with a knife?
Then go ahead and watch. Grandpa Shi said: But you won’t be able to see anything.
The little beautiful girl lay down behind me and asked curiously: What is the relationship between your mother and the Five Elements?
How do I know...
You don't even know this, are you really her son? Could it be that you were born into the wrong family? The little beauty whispered in my ear in surprise.
You will die if you don’t speak!
Indeed, there was nothing to see. My mother sighed, which was rare: everything has changed. Those who should have left and those who shouldn’t have left have all left.
Isn't this what you want? Grandpa Shi said.
Maybe, maybe not. The mother looked up at the roof beams and said: I just didn't expect it to change so quickly.
The speed is determined by heaven. You are from Basuo, so why bother to say these things? There was a hint of unhappiness in Grandpa Shi's words. It was obvious that he was somewhat disgusted with his mother.
I was so depressed listening to them, I had no idea what they were talking about. And the little beauty was whispering in my ear, making me angry. I couldn't help it anymore, so I asked: What are you talking about? Mom... are you familiar with the Five Elements Pulse?
The word "Mom" made me feel very uncomfortable. However, my mother seemed to be unaware of it. She looked at me and asked with a smile: What do you think?
They should be very familiar with each other, the little beauty interrupted.
The mother looked at her, smiled, and nodded slightly: It's done.
So what is your relationship with the Five Elements Meridians... Let me ask you a further question.
It seems that even he doesn’t know, the mother replied.
he?
That’s what you call an old Taoist priest, said the mother.
I groaned and looked at her quietly, waiting for what would happen next.
Didn't you ask me why I designed to harm her and make the Five Elements Meridian become fragmented?
Yes, why? I followed up on her question.
Because I hate this place, I have hated it since I was a child... The mother's tone was full of nostalgia, but this "feeling" was obviously filled with resentment and hatred.
I was very surprised. My mother hated the Five Elements Pulse? And she hated it since she was a child? This means that she had been to the Five Elements Pulse when she was very young? And judging from the situation, it seems that she had stayed here for a while, but why did the old Taoist never mention it?
Why do I hate this place? I asked subconsciously.
Because she abandoned me and my father and chose to inherit the ancestral incense.
She? Ancestors’ incense? I repeated it, and then my mind suddenly started boiling like a frying pan filled with water.
She! Five Elements Pulse? Could it be...
Just like what you asked me, why did you do this to me and my father? When I was very young, I asked her the same question. My mother's green jade hands are still as white, tender and smooth as those of a young girl. Her tender white fingertips seem to be flashing with the first light of the morning, and they slide gently across the dining table with a little light. I heard her say: And she replied that she had her own reasons and her own difficulties. But just like you, I can't understand her, let alone forgive her. Because of her own difficulties, she abandoned me, abandoned my father, and abandoned a family. Until today, everything has become an illusion, and everything that happened yesterday seems unreal .
If you can see this, why can't you let go of your obsession? Grandpa Shi interrupted.
Because I am her daughter, she can't let go, and neither can I, we are the same kind of people. The mother replied calmly, and she took her fingers away from the table resolutely and firmly.
What is your mother talking about? Who is she talking about? The little beauty asked curiously from behind.
I was so stunned that I couldn't speak because the truth was so unexpected.
Oh... why bother. Grandpa Shi sighed heavily.
His mother turned around and smiled at him, saying: You stayed here because of the obsession in your heart. If it weren’t for what your father said before he left, you would have left there long ago.
You guessed wrong. Grandpa Shi shook his head and said: Tianyou is my grandson, I can't leave.
But now that you have found yourself again, this grandson is just a word to you, not a reality, said the mother.
It is indeed unreal. Grandpa Shi laughed and said: But we often have the courage to live because of unreal things. If it were not for God's blessing, what would I, an old man, do living alone in the world? Even if I know everything now, my heart is like a stone and it is difficult to change.
You and Dad... Mother paused, then sighed and said: You do look alike.
Hahaha, after all, we are brothers without any blood relationship. Grandpa Shi laughed, as if he was very pleased with what his mother said.
My mother shook her head slightly, turned to look at me and asked: Do you know what to do next?
Huh? I was slightly startled and said: I don’t know.
The Five Elements have ended their inheritance, and the Five Classics will reappear in the world. Now a few days have passed, and I think they will arrive soon. As the inheritor of the Five Elements, are you ready to deal with it?
Ah? The Five Elements are coming? What preparations? I don't have any... Wait! I was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved my hands: What does this have to do with me! I'm not from the Five Elements Pulse!
Not now, but maybe in the future. Mother said nonchalantly: "In any case, you are the only one with the Five Elements Pulse now. When the Five Classics come to the world, they will definitely come here to investigate. You'd better sort out the cause and effect of everything about him so that you can deal with it more conveniently."
He? Taoist priest?
Yes. The mother nodded.
Wait, wait, wait... This obviously has nothing to do with me! I'm not his disciple, and Wu Dian can't find fault with me even if he comes!
Even if you are not his disciple, you are related to him. Since the Five Classics need to be checked, it is natural to start with the people who are related. Even if you are not the master of the Five Elements, you still need to make the necessary preparations.
Isn't this forcing the issue? I was so anxious that I wanted to jump up and down.
Tianyou, just do what she says. Grandpa Shi said from the side.
Ah? Grandpa Shi, why are you joining in the fun?
The mother shook her head: Don't you know why I'm here?
It's because of you and the Five Elements Meridian... eh? What's the relationship between you and the Five Elements Meridian?
