Tianwei Chapter 303: Counterattack (13)
What do you mean? I looked at him in amazement. The brilliance just now gave me a strange feeling. It was as if something was added to my body and I understood something in my mind, but I couldn't explain it clearly.
Do you know why I am the only one here? he asked.
have no idea!
Because I am the only one left in the Five Classics... He said with emotion and reminiscence: In ancient times, when we were at our peak, our family had dozens of people. Even at the end, there were still more than five people. Because our inheritance comes from the Five Emperors, the Five Elements Method is the essence, and it must be controlled by five people to reach the peak state. If the Eight Ropes are a sharp sword, then our Five Classics are a formation.
But I am the only one in this formation now. Thousands of years ago, brothers in the family turned against each other because one of them had a different opinion on inheritance. Whether to obey the will of heaven or the will of man, no one could convince the other.
They left with the essence of the Five Classics. A thousand years later, the last Five Elements disciple passed away. But of the Five Classics, I am the only one left who inherited the way of the Black Emperor. Moreover, due to some special reasons, I cannot continue the incense. If nothing changes, everything will disappear.
His words made me feel a little confused and unreal.
You don't seem to know much? He looked at me and asked.
Yes, I said honestly.
Knowing less has its advantages, he said with a smile.
But what I don't understand the most is what you want to do. According to you, you don't want to continue to survive as the inheritor of the Five Classics?
That's part of it.
So you sent the Five Classics inheritance into my body?
Yes.
Without the power of the Five Classics, wouldn't you be even more powerless to break the so-called cage? I was inexplicably surprised.
He laughed and said: If you wield the sword of the monarch, you will always be a minister. If you abandon the sword, you can be a commoner or the ruler of the world. The difference lies in the choice. Only by giving up can you have a chance. Because no matter how sharp the sword given to you by the monarch is, it cannot cut off his own head.
Looking at him, I thought of the Emperor of Heaven.
That man who was born from the dragon vein of Qinling Mountains must have seen something, so he came up with the saying of defeating immortals and becoming a Taoist.
But why me? I am neither the Five Classics nor the Five Elements.
Aren't you? You just think you are not, he answered.
Where is the Taoist priest?
He can be considered as my senior brother, so I will not make things difficult for him. But if I want to see him, I have to wait until the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is over.
Heavenly sacrifice? Why? I really couldn't understand this man's thoughts.
Because when the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony begins, something will happen that you cannot understand. And that is when we are closest to the Heaven. Of course, that is also when I am most likely to succeed, he said.
Do you still want to offer him as a sacrifice to the heaven? Gamu asked.
No... Since I want to break everything, then I must sacrifice my body to the heaven. God gave me life and raised me. If I want to break the cage, I must give everything back to Him.
You mean the flesh and blood? I asked.
No, it also includes the soul, everything will be returned to heaven, he said.
Without a body and a soul, do you still exist? Can you still break out of the cage? I feel like my brain is going to explode. Is this man really crazy?
Of course it still exists. Don't forget that I, the Five Classics, can reflect the real things from the river of history. Although I have given you the inheritance of the Five Classics, when the sacrifice to heaven begins, my flesh and blood will still retain some instincts. At that time, the me who has disappeared in the past will appear again and send off the me of today.
You are crazy... Is this even possible? I stared at him in amazement.
It is very likely. This is the conclusion I have come to after thinking for a long time. God controls everything, but he cannot control time. No matter what he wants, time will keep going. Therefore, only by walking out of the long river of time can I have a chance to surpass it.
Wei Qingcang looked at me, tilted his head, and asked in a low voice: Do you think what he said is true or false?
I shook my head and answered in a low voice: I don't know, and I don't quite understand what he said. I always feel it's too incredible. How can there be ? What's more, the inheritance of the Five Classics...
You got a great bargain, Wei Qingcang said with a smile.
This is not cheap at all, I feel like someone has put a worm in my stomach, it's disgusting, I replied.
There are countless people in the world who want this bug, so be content.
Judging from what he meant, he would let the boy's body return after the so-called heavenly sacrifice was over? This time it was Gamu who asked.
I think so. I nodded.
It all seemed so dreamy. We were fighting fiercely before, but now I have inherited the Five Classics and have to witness the departure of the last true Five Classics disciple.
If I had known this would be the outcome, I wouldn't have mobilized so many troops and made it seem like I was going to die heroically.
The Heaven Sacrifice will begin soon. As the last person I saw, do you have any questions? He smiled and said: After all, I am of the Five Classics bloodline, and I know a lot of things. This is also a way to thank you for helping me clear up the confusion.
I do have a lot of questions, but most of them are about family, and I don't know which one to ask first. Wei Qingcang reacted quickly and was the first to ask: What is the fairyland like? Can we become fairies? Are fairies the same as we imagined?
He asked three questions in a row, all related to immortals. It can be seen that this guy has great expectations of becoming an immortal, but he also has some doubts.
Fairyland? It does exist, but it is a little different from what you imagine, and it is hard to explain clearly. Simply put, it is the world of fairies. Everything you see is fairies, and you will be a fairy if you go there. Even the entire fairyland can be called a fairyland.
What do you mean? Immortals are not human beings? Wei Qingcang frowned.
Immortals are certainly not human beings. The man smiled and replied: As for whether you can become immortals... I am not the Eight Ropes that control the universe, so I cannot answer. If you want to know the answer, you can practice hard, or wait for him to grow up.
The so-called "he" naturally refers to me.
Wei Qingcang glanced at me, nodded at the man, and stopped asking.
At this time, I also had questions I wanted to ask: What exactly did my mother want to do? Is there any other way to find the old Taoist's previous life?
Your mother... The man thought for a moment, then said: What she has to do is very simple, to make everything reborn. Of course, we can't see that far into the future, so no one can tell whether it is a new life or a destruction. As for finding the previous life...
He smiled and said: With the inheritance of the Five Classics, you naturally understand what other methods there are.
I rolled my eyes. Another guy who likes to keep people guessing.
But I still don't understand why you don't just pass the inheritance to the old Taoist priest, he is obviously more suitable than me. I asked.
You can still pass it on, but he can't, and this is why, he replied.
The answer is indeed very simple. I can still get married and have children, but I want to find a woman to have children with... There are so many bachelors, so let's leave some opportunities for the young people.
No more questions ? he asked.
I have. Gamu finally spoke and asked: Can the soul before the beginning of reincarnation be found?
I looked at him with some surprise. I didn't expect him to ask this. Wei Qingcang was also a little surprised, but he raised his eyebrows and seemed to have thought of something.
Of course. The man nodded and said: Although the reincarnation cycle has not yet begun, the soul still exists, but it is hidden behind the reincarnation cycle and is difficult to find. If you want to find it, go to the underworld and look through the Book of Life and Death. At this moment, the reincarnation cycle in the underworld has begun, and everyone in the world will be in it.
That means he might have been reincarnated, Gamu asked.
Yes. The man nodded.
Gamu frowned, his face darkened. Wei Qingcang patted his shoulder but said nothing.
Oh, I have another question! I asked as I felt my pocket: What is the truth about the sky? I have a gold... Oh, it's broken, I didn't bring it with me!
What I am talking about is the wordless book of heaven that records the truth.
There may not be many people in the world who can understand it, but there is one person standing in front of me. But when I asked that question subconsciously, I remembered that I had never had the habit of carrying the heavenly book with me.
You wait...
The time has come. He looked at us calmly, crossed his hands in front of him, and said: Sacrifice to the heaven...
As soon as these two words came out, music suddenly sounded all around. The sound was very small, like raindrops and wooden instruments interweaving together. This sound was ethereal, and people could not help but indulge in it.
Amidst this drowsy yet joyful music, I saw him slowly rising into the air, with colorful lights emanating from his entire body, and the black one was the most eye-catching.
When this brilliance reached its peak, changes began to occur around it.
The deserted place became a wilderness, and at the end of the boundlessness there were mountains and rivers. I was clearly looking up into the sky, but now I felt like I was looking straight ahead.
There, a blurry figure holding a sword was walking slowly forward.
He held up the sword in one hand and sang an unknown tune. Each song became louder and louder, until the sound was like thunder, and the sword seemed to be surging with water.
At this time, Gamu suddenly exclaimed: There is someone in the sky!
I raised my head higher and saw that there was a person standing at a higher place.
It was too far away, and I couldn't see what he looked like, but I felt that he was familiar. My heart was suddenly filled with inexplicable excitement.
Could that be the Taoist priest?
It's him! Wei Qingcang said with certainty, his eyes were like sharp swords, and he saw very clearly.
I was overjoyed. He was really an experienced Taoist. It seemed that Wudian did not lie to us!
At this moment, the man who was striding forward with the sword suddenly trembled, and in an instant he grew to be tens of millions meters tall.
The colorful light was restrained at this moment and gathered in his flesh and blood.
A figure tens of millions meters tall shouted, leaped up into the sky.
I was also shocked, because the huge figure holding the sword actually passed through the old Taoist's body. Many lights flowed around the old Taoist like water drops, and then slowly penetrated into his body.
At this time, the sky suddenly became bright, and the sky, which originally had no end in sight, seemed to have a crack.
In the crack, countless rays of light flowed endlessly, and at this moment, the huge figure swung the sword towards the sky.
Like thunder, I heard a roar that seemed to come from tens of millions of years ago: Sacrifice to the Heaven!
His body exploded...
