Tianwei Chapter 289 Five Classics (6)
Grandpa Shi's steps were not big, but his attitude was firm. I no longer struggled, because my mother's behavior made me feel hopeless.
That glimmer of green light stabbed into my heart like a knife. I suddenly felt that if even my mother wanted to kill me, what else was there worth doing in this world?
Grandpa Shi took me two or three steps and we were out of the wilderness. The scene in front of us changed and we were out of the room. But when I looked back, the room was still a boundless wilderness, like another world.
The beautiful girl had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw us coming out, she was surprised at first, and then asked anxiously: What happened? Is there any way for Wudian to revive him?
I looked at the little beauty and shook my head.
Okay, let’s talk about it after we get out. Grandpa Shi grabbed the little beauty’s arm with his other hand and dragged us both out of the Taoist temple.
To the little beauty, Grandpa Shi was definitely a huge monster that she could not and dared not provoke. Although she had a puzzled and unhappy look on her face, she did not struggle.
Grandpa Shi dragged us out of the Taoist temple and then let go.
Maybe it hurt, the little beauty hugged her arm and rubbed it twice, then asked: "What's going on inside? I saw a lot of things flying."
Nothing, Grandpa Shi replied.
The beautiful girl said with a disappointed tone, she knew that this answer was just a perfunctory one. But she also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she just looked at us in confusion and did not continue to ask questions.
I looked up at her, then at Mr. Jiao who was lying not far away. After sighing heavily, I sat down on the ground.
Grandpa Shi was silent for a rare moment, and did not give any explanation. Of course, I didn't need any explanation at all, because the facts were before my eyes.
Is it really impossible to save him? I asked in a low voice.
"It is possible to save him, but he cannot be saved," Grandpa Shi replied.
Grandpa Shi, why don’t I understand what you are saying? The little beauty asked.
For those who don't know the truth, such words certainly don't make sense to them. But I understand that what Grandpa Shi said means denial.
Why? I really want to know the answer.
The Three Tombs, Five Classics, Eight Ropes and Nine Hills each control one place. Unless there is a dangerous situation, they cannot be hostile to each other. Because the power of these four families is too special, once they collide with each other, it is likely to cause irreparable damage to the world. Your previous actions were too reckless and almost caused a big mistake. Grandpa Shi replied.
Big mistake? What do you mean by wrong? Maybe it wasn't wrong if she killed me, I responded.
Grandpa Shi sighed and said: Your mother...
She is not my mother. I shook my head and said: There are no tigers that eat their own children, only psychopaths that kill their own children.
This statement was of course extremely disrespectful to the elders, but Grandpa Shi did not say anything. Even if he did, it would be a death at best. If he had not stopped me before, I might have reported to the underworld by now.
You were in the room just now... The beautiful girl asked hesitantly in a low voice: Did they fight?
I hummed and said: I almost died in there.
Ah! The little beauty exclaimed, and hurried to my side and asked: Are you hurt?
Injured? I looked at her and really wanted to say, "My sorrow is about to flow like a waterfall!"
But I wasn't in the mood to joke this time, I shook my head and said: I'm not hurt, I'm still alive.
What about him? The little beauty asked again.
I really didn't know how to answer this question, so I could only remain silent. Seeing that I didn't say anything, the little beauty vaguely guessed the answer, her face changed, and without saying a word, she immediately turned around and rushed into the house.
Seeing her hurried movements, Tiansheng immediately ran back from a distance.
Grandpa Shi grabbed the little beautiful girl's arm and asked: Where are you going?
Let me go! I want to save him! The little beauty struggled hard.
Save him? Do you think it's easy? If I can save him, I might do it for the sake of God bless my grandma. But do you know why I don't move?
Afraid. I took over.
Grandpa Shi turned to look at me, his eyes were calm, but it made me tremble in my heart. But anger overwhelmed reason, and I continued: No matter what the reason, I was just afraid, afraid that Wudian and Basuo would become enemies, afraid...
How much do you know? Grandpa Shi interrupted me.
I was slightly startled, and just as I was about to open my mouth to speak, I heard him ask again: There are thousands of things in the world, how many of them do you know? A frog in a well, sitting in a well and looking at the sky!
Grandpa Shi's tone became more and more severe, and his invisible momentum made me feel breathless. Even the little beauty didn't dare to move. As for Tiansheng, he ran a few dozen meters away and turned around and ran back with his head in his arms...
Do you know what the relationship is between the Five Classics and the Eight Ropes? Grandpa Shi asked again.
I was stunned, thinking about how to answer, and he threw a few more questions: Do you know why Jiuqiu has been preparing but resolutely refused to confront Basuo head-on? Do you know what the four major families are responsible for? Do you know what Wudian is doing? Do you know who you are!
The series of questions made me dizzy. Let alone answering them, I couldn’t even figure out which one to think of first.
Your blood, your bones, your flesh, are all from the Eight Ropes. But how much do you know about the Eight Ropes? Do you think that you understand everything just because you have learned a few moves and understood the essence of the details? Grandpa Shi used his arms to throw the little beauty back, and at the same time he shouted: Nonsense!
I was stunned, and so was the little beauty. We had never seen Grandpa Shi get so angry before. He always seemed very kind and amiable. In my mind, Grandpa Shi's face was always calm and smiling.
But this time, something is different...
Grandpa Stone...
You are just fooling around! Grandpa Shi interrupted me and scolded me: You know nothing, but you dare to learn from that calf. No matter how powerful Wu Dian is, I can save him if I want to. But I can't do it because there are too many things involved. The depth of the connection between your four families is unimaginable to ordinary people.
No matter how deep the heart is, we cannot ignore human life. I retorted: What is the difference between what you said and a train running to the left and killing one child, and running to the right and killing ten children? Why should the lives of a bunch of people be more precious than one person!
Do you mean to let countless people die because of him? Grandpa Shi's face became more and more ugly: You are not young anymore, but you are still so naive. Do you think this is good? One person dies, and one family suffers for him. Ten people die, and ten families suffer. Kindness to an extreme is evil! What is the saying that things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme? You don't even understand such a simple truth!
Do you know what the four families were involved in? Without waiting for my answer, Grandpa Shi waved his hand and said: You don't know, because you know to look at the inch of land in front of you. This day does not belong to the Basuo family. Jiuqiu guards the mountains and rivers, Wudian controls the veins, Basuo is invincible, and what about the Sanfen? How much do you know about the Sanfen?
I shook my head. I really don't know. All along, I only knew these two words about the Three Tombs. I knew it represented an ancient heritage, but I had no idea what it was like.
The Three Tombs represent the Three Emperors. People say they are three ancient men, but in fact they represent heaven, earth, and man. Heaven, earth, and man are them. What is the right way of man? If the way of man is unstable, heaven and earth will be empty. Once the Five Classics and Eight Ropes collide and cause disasters in the world, the Three Tombs will appear to correct the way of man.
Do you know what will happen at that time? asked Grandpa Shi.
I still shook my head, but Grandpa Shi said: No one knows what will happen.
Huh? I was stunned.
Because everything related to it will be completely erased and covered up, Grandpa Shi said.
This was incredible to hear. Was the existence of the Three Tombs just for this purpose? Could it be that the Five Classics and the Eight Ropes combined were no match for him?
You have to understand that no matter how powerful you are, you are only as powerful as the Heavenly Law. If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Whether it is the Eight Ropes or the Five Classics, their power comes from the Heavenly Law. Once Heaven wants them to perish, no one can stop them.
I was stunned. If Basuo was the imperial envoy, then Sanfen was the equivalent of the Imperial Guards. No matter how powerful you are, if you violate the will of heaven, you will be killed immediately.
This made me break out in a cold sweat. If I really had fought with Wu Dian and brought out Sanfen, the consequences would be...
Is it worth it to let Wudian and Basuo be destroyed because of this old Taoist?
This question also cannot be answered because the answer is different when you are calm and when you are not calm.
Although I wanted to say in a rage that it wouldn't matter if everyone in the world died, I couldn't say it because in front of me was Grandpa Shi, next to me was the beautiful girl, and behind me was Grandpa Jiao.
No... According to what Grandpa Shi said, this has happened before? So, the Five Classics and Eight Ropes are not the first generation of inheritance?
Of course not. Grandpa Shi shook his head: It is precisely because of this that the first generation of the Underworld Jade was lost, and the subsequent Eight Ropes inheritance could not find it even if they had the power to reach the sky. Some people suspect that the Three Tombs were worried that the Underworld Jade was too powerful, so they took it away to prevent accidents in the future.
Too powerful? I couldn't help but ask: Did the first piece of the Underworld Jade really cause great harm to the world when it was still there?
That's right. Not only is this recorded in the inheritance of Ba Suo, but there are also some in the memory of the Emperor of Heaven. Grandpa Shi said: When the Emperor of Heaven was not fully conscious and was still sleeping in the dragon vein of Qinling Mountains, he felt a huge power fluctuation. That power made him feel very uncomfortable, as if the world was about to be destroyed.
So we are really the second generation, no, even the third or fourth generation of the Eight Ropes inheritance?
Grandpa Shi nodded: "Once the inheritance is covered, everything related to it will disappear. There are countless people involved. So you understand why I said you were reckless, and even she couldn't help but want to kill you."
I lowered my head slightly and remained silent. Grandpa Shi's words really made me understand what happened before. If there was really a conflict between me and Wu Dian, I don't know how many people would have died.
But at the same time, a question also occurred to me: When did the Eight Ropes inheritance of our generation begin?
I can’t remember the details. Grandpa Shi shook his head and said: “It was probably several thousand years ago.”
Thousands of years ago... I was stunned, because a guess suddenly emerged in my mind, and this guess was really outrageous.
