After lunch, the two little ones stayed in the backyard to wash the dishes.
Wu Tianze came to the front yard, stood in front of the flower bed, thinking about the last sentence.
Understand the mysteries of life and death.
Everyone knows that life means being alive, and death means death.
But Wutan knew very well that the mystery of life and death here was definitely not so simple.
But what is it
How can I understand it
Ye Xiuling came to Wu Tian's side, glanced at the flowers and plants in front of her, and asked: "If I hadn't come, would you have stayed here forever?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "Yes or no, I can only answer you this way, because no one can be sure of things in this world."
Ye Xiuling was speechless and said, "You have only been in seclusion for more than ten years. Can you not be so profound and deep in every sentence you say?"
Wu Tian said: "Is it profound? I don't think so. I just have some understanding of the mundane world..."
"Stop! Stop!"
Ye Xiuling said hurriedly, her face full of anger, "I think I can't stay here any longer, otherwise I will become like you. Aunt Ye and I will go out for a walk first, and wait for you to comprehend the mysteries of life and death, and then send me a message."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "No need to see you off, but you can stroll around, but don't mess around here. After all, this is where I grew up, so just consider it a small favor for me."
"How dare I not give face to you, Wu Tian? Aunt Ye, don't you think so?" Ye Xiuling said jokingly.
"hehe."
The old woman in black robe smiled but said nothing.
Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "My courtyard is small, and there is no room for a big Buddha like you. Please come in!"
“It’s really boring.”
Ye Xiuling waved her hand, and she and the old woman in black robe disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"You bring me hope, but you are also using me. I just hope you don't go too far, otherwise I will kill you no matter whether you are the daughter of a mysterious man or not." Wutan whispered, looking at the horizon, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
This was the first hint of murderous intent he had developed in the past ten years, which meant that he was awakening!
"Uncle Ugly, who are you going to kill?"
Just then, two little guys came from the backyard. After hearing the second half of Wutan's sentence, Shao Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.
Wu Tian turned around and looked, then smiled and said, "Of course it's to kill the bad guys."
"Bad guys should be killed."
Shao Ling nodded, and then said: "Uncle Ugly, what should we do next?"
Wu Tian glanced at the yard and smiled, "Help me loosen the soil in the flower and vegetable gardens."
Shao Ling pouted her lips immediately and said sullenly: "Uncle Ugly, can you please stop ordering us to do these meaningless things and teach us something practical?"
"Pointless?"
Wu Tian was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "To cultivate, you need to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time. Don't dream of reaching the sky in one step. I have seen many geniuses before. Their talents are better than yours, but because they were too ambitious, they were eventually surpassed by people with not so good talents."
Shao Chen was puzzled: "They are talented, why are they surpassed by others? This is unreasonable!"
Wu Tian said: "Because they are eager for quick success and instant benefits, they did not lay a solid foundation."
Shao Chen said: "Grandpa seems to have told us this as well."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "So, the most important thing in cultivation is not speed, nor talent, but foundation, perseverance, and one's own efforts. If you believe in Uncle Chou, don't open up your meridians before you are sixteen."
Shao Chen frowned and said, "But if we do this, we will be surpassed by our peers, and we will lose face when we go out."
“Exceeding is only temporary. If you want to achieve higher, you need to have a long-term vision.”
At this point, Wu Tian frowned slightly, feeling that the two little ones might not be able to understand what he was saying now, so it would be better to be practical. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "Well, Uncle Chou promises you that when you are sixteen years old, you will be able to open ninety-nine meridians."
"Ninety-nine meridians!"
The two little ones were shocked, their eyes full of disbelief.
"Haha, your ugly uncle has already opened the legendary Heavenly Veins and Earthly Veins. What are the mere ninety-nine meridians? Listen to your ugly uncle and loosen the soil."
Just at this moment, a hearty laugh was heard.
Immediately afterwards, divine aura appeared out of thin air.
"Uncle Shenxi, why are you here?"
"How about you teach us how to practice?"
The two little ones' eyes lit up and they immediately came forward.
Shenxi heard this, glanced at Wutian beside him, then looked down at the two little ones with expectant eyes, and said with a wry smile: "How can I be qualified to teach you in front of your ugly uncle? Go and loosen the soil quickly, or your uncle will spank you."
"mean."
"I'll never talk to you again."
The two little guys said viciously, then covered their buttocks and ran away.
Shenxi shook his head in amusement, walked to Wutian's side, and said with a smile: "How are you, are you living well here?"
Wu Tian nodded.
Shenxi asked, "Who are they?"
"Who?" Wu Tian was puzzled.
Shen Xi said: "It's those two people just now."
Wu Tian frowned and asked, "Have you been hiding here all this time?"
Shenxi smiled and said, "No, I just happened to come here when they left."
Wu Tian looked him up and down for a while, and asked curiously: "They are all Ten Tribulations Gods, but they didn't sense your arrival. You are really a hidden talent! I am curious, where are you from?"
Shenxi laughed and said, "I was born in the Samsara Continent, and I may die in the Samsara Continent in the future. As for where I came from, when the time comes, you will know it naturally without me telling you."
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "You are still as mysterious as ever. People like you really shouldn't be in the Samsara Continent."
The spirit said, "Then where should I be? Heaven? Saint Realm? As you said, it is not important where the roots are. What is important is the heart. Where the heart rests is the root."
Wu Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Xiuling said that I speak profoundly, but I think you are more profound than me."
"Ye Xiuling? It turns out to be her, the daughter of the ruler of this world. She has quite a prominent background." The spirit said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You actually knew that?"
Wu Tian was extremely surprised. He had only just learned Ye Xiuling’s true identity not long ago, but this mysterious man, who had been staying in the Samsara Continent, actually knew her identity!
And judging from his expression and tone, he already knew it!
This is extremely incredible!
Who is this guy who even knows such a secret
But he didn't ask. Having known Shenxi for so many years, he knew this man's character very well. If he didn't want to say something, even if a knife was placed on his neck, he couldn't get him to speak.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Shen Xi, I have never properly said thank you to you. Thank you for giving me the wood essence."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it." Shenxi smiled faintly and said, "Can you tell me now why you became like this?"
Wutan nodded and immediately recounted in detail the battle that took place in heaven more than sixty years ago.
After listening, Shenxi was silent for a while, and finally sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that you would become like this after going through so many things. Xiao Wuhao is Xuanyuan Ao. This is really unexpected. If I am not mistaken, Xuanyuan Ao took away the Star Realm to protect the creatures of the Holy Realm."
"What do you mean?" Wu Tian frowned.
The divine breath said lightly: "Xuanyuan Ao is afraid of the mysterious man's revenge. You know, if the mysterious man comes to the Holy Realm, it will definitely be a catastrophic disaster. But it is different with the Star Realm. The Star Realm is an independent world that can accommodate everything. Before the mysterious man comes, Xuanyuan Ao can take all the creatures in the Holy Realm into the Star Realm. At that time, as long as he doesn't die, the creatures in the Holy Realm will not die. If I'm not mistaken, he should be in seclusion now, expanding the Star Realm."
Wu Tian said: "No matter what his reason is, I will take back the Star Realm, because this is the only thing my parents left me, and no one else can possess it."
Shenxi smiled and said, "I can already feel that the sleeping lion is awakening step by step. Wutian, I really hope that you can stand up soon."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
Shenxi asked, "What's the problem?"
Wu Tian said: "What is life and death?"
"life and death?"
Shenxi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "You really know how to ask difficult questions. In my understanding, life does not only mean living, but also means hope. Death does not only mean death, but also means despair."
"hope… "
"Despair..."
"Alive..."
"die… "
Wutan fell into deep thought, and gradually, he seemed to think of something, but the answer was a little vague and illusory, and he couldn't grasp it for a while.
"call!"
After a long time, Wutan took a deep breath. He still didn't get the answer after all, but he didn't have much regret in his heart. After all, being reborn was an act against the will of heaven. If he had understood it so quickly, it would not be an act against the will of heaven. No one in the world would despair because of the shattering of their godhood.
Shenxi glanced at him and said with a smile: "I can't help you with this matter, but there is something I have always wanted to give you."
Wu Tian said: "What is it?"
"it!"
Shenqi spread out his hands, and with a flash of light, a palm-sized stone tablet appeared.
But the stone tablet was only half, and the whole body was pitch black, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere!
And on the stone tablet, there is an ancient word - Zhen!
And below this ancient character, there is half a character, but it is incomplete.
“That’s it!”
Even though the second ancient character was incomplete and the stone tablet was only half, Wutan recognized it at a glance; it was the Soul-Calming Stele!
Memories of the past emerged in my mind uncontrollably.
At the beginning, he, Han Tian, and the little guy were young and frivolous. They tried to snatch the innate spirit embryo of the Ancient Scorpio at Scorpio Ridge, which made the Ancient Scorpio furious. In the end, it was the Soul-Calming Monument that saved them, but in order to save them, the Soul-Calming Monument was also split into two halves.
At that time, the Soul-Calming Monument said these words to them: Today's cause, tomorrow's result, the Ancient Scorpio needs you to subdue it, go and find my half of my body, and I will be able to help you in the future.
It’s just that at that time, Wutan and the other two were afraid of trouble, or to be more exact, they were afraid of Scorpio, so they put the matter behind them and did not go looking for the half-broken stone tablet. But they never expected that Shenqi would actually bring this half-broken stone tablet to him.
Not only was there a deep bitter smile in his eyes, but it also really proved the old saying that what is not yours cannot be forced, and what is yours, you can never escape from it.
