Nothing to do today, check the life and death book

"I knew you would come, just a little early," the old ancestor said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

Le Jinxi was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know how I got here. I was probably tied here by those vines!"

At some point, the old ancestor had a wooden stick in his hand. He picked up the stick and pounded it hard on the ground. A faint light appeared on the ground and formed a circle.

In the circle, a wooden pillar as thick as the circle slowly rose up. When it reached half a person's height, it suddenly stopped and split into six pieces in the middle and spread out.

Le Jinxi then discovered that the wooden pillar was hollow inside. Not only that, there was a palm-sized sapling inside.

"This is a secret place," the old man explained, pointing to the sapling. "The vines that bound you were controlled by it. It was it that pulled you in."

"Ah?" Le Jinxi was a little surprised. She widened her eyes and looked at the small sapling with only three leaves in front of her. Apart from the fact that it could twist on its own, it was no different from an ordinary sapling!

"Grandfather! Are you sure you are not kidding me? This is just an ordinary sapling! How do you control those vines?"

"Yes and no, it is a sapling, but it is not an ordinary sapling. You will know it slowly!" The old ancestor patted his shoulder and signaled him not to worry.

"Slowly?" Le Jinxi was dumbfounded! I'm still in the trial! There's no time to waste here. He thought to himself, what excuse should I find to leave?

Come with me, the ancestor suddenly grabbed his hand, and the next second, the two of them appeared under the night sky.

"What did you see?" asked the old ancestor.

Le Jinxi raised her head and said faintly, "I saw a night sky and countless bright stars."

"anything else?"

Le Jinxi stared blankly at the night sky, wondering what the ancestor wanted to ask. Could he want to ask about the constellations?

After thinking for a while, he said, "Beyond the Nine Heavens, there is a vast void. Compared to that, the world we live in is just a drop in the ocean."

The old ancestor nodded with satisfaction. He actually knew now what it took him half his life to understand!

"Do you understand the purpose of practicing?" the old ancestor asked again.

"Maybe it's for immortality, for supreme power!" Le Jinxi's heartbeat suddenly paused, and Su Yueyu's figure appeared in his mind. He changed the subject and said firmly: "I practice not for anything else, but just to protect the people who care about me and the people I care about from being bullied, that's all."

The old ancestor was silent, staring at the night sky for a long time, and then he said: "Even if you face the Supreme Power, you will not regret it?"

"If I meet a god, I will kill him. If I meet a Buddha, I will kill him. I will never regret it!" Le Jinxi clenched his fists silently.

Before crossing over, my parents died early, and I was alone, unloved by my grandma and uncle, and I had been struggling for a living for more than 20 years. Since I have crossed over, I will live a glorious life according to my own wishes.

"Good! Well said. If you meet a god, kill the god; if you meet a Buddha, kill the Buddha. A young man should have such courage." The old ancestor seemed to agree with him.

A green light floated over from afar. It was the small sapling. Its leaves were emitting green light, and it swayed and fell on Le Jinxi's shoulder.

"The little guy is very close to you!"

"Ah!" Le Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "It may be a problem with my physical condition!"

"There is a will in the universe," the old man muttered to himself, looking at the night sky with a somewhat empty look in his eyes. "There are some things I didn't intend to tell you so early, but I thought about it and thought that maybe something unexpected will happen in the future. I'll tell you now so that I can prepare early."

His gaze fell back on Le Jinxi, and the old ancestor continued, "I once glimpsed a glimpse of the future and saw your figure during the epochal catastrophe. I met you only to give my Shenmu clan a chance."

"Epochal catastrophe?" Le Jinxi looked puzzled.

The old ancestor pointed to the sky and explained: "The birth, aging, sickness and death of all things in the world all follow the way of heaven. For practitioners, the way of heaven is a shackle. Whether you become an immortal or a god, you can't break free of this shackle and can't break the rules of the way of heaven."

"This is the cause of the epochal catastrophe."

"The rules of heaven are not immutable, but evolve over a long period of time, giving rise to new rules to replace the old ones. This process takes tens of millions of years, and is defined as an era.

When the old era turns to the new era, it is the time when the rules of heaven are derived and replaced, and it is also the time when the power of heaven is the weakest. Those immortals who want to break the rules of heaven and break free from the shackles will fight for the power of heaven at this time, impose a few bodies, achieve supreme power, and even worse, try to change the rules of heaven. "

Le Jinxi was confused by what he heard, and kept thinking about what his ancestors said in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was just like a game. Games have bugs, and the system is regularly updated to fix them, but there will always be people who develop new plug-ins.

Le Jinxi sighed and said, "Alas! To put it bluntly, it's just a fight between gods and the mortals suffer."

The old man patted his shoulder and praised him: "Easy to understand, that's right. By then, the whole world will be at risk of destruction, and no one can stay out of it."

Le Jinxi was stunned. The world could be destroyed?

He felt a little more melancholy in his heart. Sister Yu's problem had not been resolved yet, and now there was another damn epochal catastrophe. Oh! Damn God, send us back to Earth!

After a long while, he finally asked, "How much time is left?"

The old ancestor counted with his fingers and replied, "No more than two thousand years. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be fine within a thousand years."

"Two thousand years? China has only had a history of five thousand years," Le Jinxi was speechless. Even a thousand years would be enough to live! I'm not a monster, but after thinking about it, I realized that with my current physical condition, it was unclear whether I was a human or a monster.

On Le Jinxi's shoulder, the little sapling was restless! The little feet of the tree roots were walking and jumping on him.

It walked from the shoulders to the chest, then around to the back, slid along the clothes to the heels, then jumped onto the soles of the feet, and climbed up by pulling up the trouser legs, having a lot of fun.

Le Jinxi was thinking about something and didn't want to pay attention to it.

After a while, Le Jinxi suddenly asked, "Grandfather, are you sure it was me you saw in the future epoch, and you are not mistaken?"

The old ancestor was obviously stunned. He stared at him for a few seconds and said seriously: "Although I am not a Buddhist, I never lie. Not only you, but there are two others. They came here five hundred years ago. They accepted my karma and received my help. They have already ascended to heaven."

I was happy to hear it this evening. It’s paid, why didn’t you tell me earlier?

Immediately, he bowed his head and said, "What the ancestor said is true. Since I am destined to be involved in the epochal catastrophe, I might as well make plans early. Unfortunately, I am still young and inexperienced, so I need the ancestor's advice."

"Have you thought it through? If you accept my karma, you will be choosing a path that will lead to your life in vain. You will have to bear the consequences yourself, whether the outcome is good or bad."

Le Jinxi straightened his back, held his head high and said, "What the old man said is not true. Although I am young, I also understand the principle that no egg can be left intact when the nest is overturned. Since I am already in the game, I will break it."

After he finished speaking, the small sapling that was sticking to Le Jinxi's chest suddenly glowed brightly, and its shape gradually became illusory. Before Le Jinxi could react, it drilled into his chest.

Feeling a pain in his chest, Le Jinxi subconsciously waved his hand and patted his chest, but there was no trace of the sapling.
