Chapter 571: Starlight in Hometown (Second Update)
"Yes, how can the people who are born every year in the future who cannot be awakened deal with themselves?"
The old man replied in a low voice.
Shen Chong pondered for a moment, "But among the monsters, aren't there also birds and beasts that can't be awakened?" ”
The old man asked, "Then do you think it's okay to use humans as beasts?" ”
Shen Chong shook his head.
The old man grinned, "It's okay to call me selfish, or to say that I'm hypocritical." I admit that I can't treat everyone equally, but in fact, who in this world can not be selfish? I asked myself to be righteous in my life, but deep down in my heart I was not exempt from vulgarity. It doesn't matter what I think in my heart, what matters is, what matters, what I do? Shen Chong, what do you think of slaying demons and treating monsters? What about the psykers who do evil? ”
Shen Chong thought for a moment, "Fair and just." ”
"Well, your tone still sounds a little disapproving. But merits and demerits, good and evil, can be judged by future generations. When I die, everything will be empty, and I will have no regrets in my heart. ”
Shen Chong looked at him a little lonely, and felt that this senior was very tired.
As complex as the name of the demon slayer organization he founded, he wants to be fair, but he can't do it completely in his heart.
He hoped that all beings would be equal, but he also believed that ordinary beings with only spirits and no wisdom could not be compared with human beings born with intelligence.
He himself knows that this is very contradictory, but in his long life, he can only restrain himself and try his best to do everything.
Shen Chong probably understood the feelings of the old man, and he asked himself if he really couldn't be so great.
Knowing that you don't like it and doing it for a lifetime, it's much more difficult than doing it for a lifetime with a firm belief.
"Shen Chong......"
The old man's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was a bit angry.
Fortunately, Shen Chong's sense of hearing is strong now, "I'll listen." ”
"Listen, I can walk away. You can't be calm and calm, and in the future, when the world is turbulent, you must participate in it, so that you can do it yourself. ”
Shen Chong always felt that he had something to say, even if he was the son-in-law of his apprentice, he really didn't have much to do with him, and he couldn't afford to explain so much to himself before he died.
I thought that his last words were some important secrets to explain to the ministry, but after chatting for a long time, he was all sighing about life, and he always felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the old man who had been lying on his back on the ground suddenly stood up.
Earlier, he kept saying that Shen Chong couldn't touch him, Shen Chong saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to retreat, but found that he couldn't move.
"What do you mean, senior?"
Shen Chong asked.
"It's not interesting, I want to take my last breath to calculate another hexagram for you and Zhishu, this breath can't be in vain."
The figure of the old man gradually floated into the air, and a tortoise shell flew out of his sleeve, and suddenly turned into a phanther in the sky.
Shen Chongli shouted, "Excuse me!" Don't be like this, seniors, I'm not superstitious! ”
"If you don't believe me, it's fine!"
The old man didn't talk nonsense with him at all, and started work on the spot, and the tortoiseshell phantom shrouded down, wrapping Shen Chong's whole person in it.
Shen Chong had the illusion of falling to the bottom of the water at first, but his breathing was still smooth, and he involuntarily followed the flying general.
With a loud buzzing sound in the air, the orange and yellow light around the old man was like a heartbeat, and the tortoise shell changed with the same frequency.
After a long time, there was a crackling sound from the tortoise shell, and the tortoise shell, which had already broken to seven or eight points, finally exploded with a bang.
Shen Chong and the tortoise shells that shattered into dots in the air and quickly dissipated fell to the ground in unison.
He stood still, but the tortoiseshell fragments vanished in midair.
Before Shen Chong could question the other party, the old man had already looked at him with a frightened face, "You have come from nowhere and nowhere, who are you!" ”
Shen Chong was silent, only on guard.
He knew that his biggest secret might be seen through by the old man.
He had thought that the old man would do more, but he didn't think that after a while, the old man slowly leaned back into the crooked-necked tree.
"That's it, it's not good for you or me if you tell me, so it's okay if you don't say it."
Shen Chong's trust in the old man who forgot to count dropped to the extreme, and he felt that he was wrong to say too much, so he simply didn't say a word.
He didn't turn around and left.
However, the old man finally found a flaw in his heart.
"Shen Chong, guess what I saw in you just now?"
"I don't want to know."
"If you don't come, you will die. But you have arrived, and it is up to you whether she dies or not. ”
"You don't need to say this seniors, I know it myself."
"It's up to you."
Shen Chong arched his hand and turned to leave, "Thank you." ”
"Wait! I have one last question! ”
The old man tried to stop him from behind.
Shen Chong didn't look back, but there was a sound of strong wind behind him, and he raised his right hand, and his fingertips just caught a piece of paper.
This piece of paper shows the distribution of the Big Dipper.
The pattern was drawn by the old man who forgot to count, and he even connected the seven stars with lines, which is the spoon shape of the Big Dipper.
Shen Chong's footsteps paused, and the voice of the old man behind him came from behind, "I have been carrying this picture on my back for twenty-five years, and I have learned nothing every day, can you solve my doubts?" ”
Shen Chong turned around, "This is the Big Dipper, which are Tianshu, Tianxuan, and Tianji...... Shake the light. ”
The old man's tone suddenly became extremely eager, "This...... What does that mean? Astrology? ”
Shen Chong nodded, "Not bad." ”
"But there are no seven stars in the sky this week!"
Forget the old man is not convinced.
Shen Chong nodded, looked up at the starry sky, and said abruptly: "Yes, no." ”
Now that he had been recognized, he could also feel that the old man was really going to die, and Shen Chong finally secretly decided to fulfill the old man's last wish and tell him something.
Shen Chong took a deep breath, "You can't see it because these seven stars are not from the universe you see in your eyes. In my hometown, there is a classic record that the seven stars from Tianshu to Shaoguang perform their own duties and hold their own destiny. The first is called Si Ming, the second is called Si Lu, the third is Lu Cun, the fourth is called longevity, the fifth is called Yishu, the sixth is called Doom, and the seventh is Shangsheng. I thought these were ethereal myths, but I didn't expect to come to this world and become a mythical character myself. ”
Shen Chong looked down at his fingers, vaguely remembering the confusion and shock he felt when he first inspired himself to heal, and now he was used to it.
But if you go back to your home earth, these things are still not reasonable and unscientific.
After listening to this, the old man began to mumble to himself, repeating the fourteen words constantly, "Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang." Si Ming, Si Lu, Lu Cun, Longevity, Benefit, Doom, and Upper Life. ”
As he repeated the chanting, his body became lighter and lighter, and the stars fell from his body like fireworks.
Shen Chong knew that this senior who did not have a great heart, but who did great things, was finally going to die.
"I see!"
Suddenly, the old man who was about to collapse screamed and suddenly realized.
"I see! Finally understood! I have no regrets in my life! I'm going to die! Shen Chong, you are a god, you have come to this realm to suffer! Thanks for the directions, I'll go too! ”
The white-robed old man rose into the air with long laughter, like the rising sun, and in an instant turned into a long rainbow piercing the night and straight through the starry sky.
The dense clouds that had previously covered the sky were pierced by this pillar of light, and the clouds spread out like waves from the pierced position.
Eventually, the pillar of light sank into the darkness of the universe and disappeared without a trace.
Shen Chong could see that he was divine, and after a long time, he sighed, "It is worthy of being the ultimate powerhouse in the past, and he died so distinctively." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a shock.
Seven tiny rays of light, almost imperceptible, shone down from the newly broken clouds, condensing in front of him into a single beam, shining right above his head.
In an instant, these seven glimmers of light quickly turned into cosmic background radiation that was invisible to the naked eye.
But Shen Chong always felt weird.
He jumped to the side and took a step.
Hell, I always feel like it's still shining on me, it's hot!
He pulled out his legs and ran forward for dozens of meters, and then looked back at the sky, the hole in the clouds was rapidly recondensing, but the radiation formed by the seven rays of light still made him faintly hot.
Shen Chong finally understood something.
This...... It's starlight from home!
