The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 238 The Origin of the World

The "earth dragon turning over" didn't last long and ended quickly.

Lu Qian felt as if a train was passing under his feet.

Kui Su sat up straight again, turned to look at Kui Subai, and said, "It seems that Lu Qian, like those idiots, still has some illusions about Hong Yue."

Kui Subai nodded and said, "That's stupid enough."

Lu Qian was startled and said, "What is the red moon? What does this have to do with the red moon?"

Hearing this, Kui Su looked at Lu Qian with some doubts and said, "Why, your grandfather never told you anything?"

This is the sentence again.

Lu Qian hated this feeling very much at this moment.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qian shook his head simply, saying that he didn't know anything.

When Kui Su saw it, a look that looked like a smile but not a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He is tall and strong, with a face as big as a basin. He smiles casually and narrows his narrow eyes slightly, looking both mysterious and vulgar.

Kui Su smiled and looked at Lu Qian for a while, then said, "So, you don't even know what the 'origin' of this world is?"

Lu Qian shook his head.

He actually knows something about this world.But this kind of understanding does not touch the root, just like the "origin" mentioned by Kuisu.

What is the "origin" of this world?
Kui Su suppressed his smile, and suddenly sighed softly, saying: "It seems that your grandfather hopes that you can be an ordinary person and die in ignorance and fearlessness. It's a pity that this world will not die because of your ignorance and fearlessness. You will be treated differently. Fortunately, you did not listen to your grandfather in the end."

Lu Qian knew in his heart that what he meant by "not listening to his grandfather" was that he had practiced paper-cutting.

Lu Qian's original grandfather actually did not forbid him from paper-cutting. Instead, they spent three generations trying to find a way to extend his lifespan or continue to practice paper-cutting.

But for this section, Lu Qian naturally didn't need to explain to Kui Su.

After Kui Su finished speaking, he glanced to the left and gave Kui Subai a wink.

Kui Su's white eyes were completely covered by the hood, but he could actually see Kui Su's eyes.

She turned her head, faced Lu Qian with her chin, took a few steps forward, and got closer to Lu Qian, and then said: "Since our altar master is thirsty for talents, we wholeheartedly want to invite you to join our divine religion. So for you, Naturally, we won't hide anything. Since you don't know what the 'origin' of this world is, I will tell you."

The content of Kui Subai's words may have been a little more sincere than before; however, the tone of her words was still arrogant and condescending.

Lu Qian didn't care about her arrogant look. He stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

Kui Subai asked first: "Do you know the whole picture of our Dali country?"

Lu Qian shook his head.

Kui Subai said: "Our country of Dali is divided into 27 provinces and three protective palaces. The existing livable areas in the entire world are basically included in the territory. To the east of Dali is the rough sea ; To the north are a few grasslands and extremely cold ice fields; to the west are endless deserts; to the south are towering mountains that are difficult for humans and birds to cross..."

Lu Qian suddenly interrupted her and said: "Has no powerful person ever explored the world outside the four directions? If you can fly, you should be able to fly a long distance."

Kui Subai said coldly: "Of course there are powerful people who have explored it, but it is a pity that none of them can come back."

Lu Qian felt a shiver in his heart. Anyone who dared to fly out to explore the outside world must be someone with extremely high cultivation level.After they went out, actually... not even one of them came back?
If it is said that the extraterritorial world of Sifang is so dangerous, then it is a miracle that their area can survive for so long.

Lu Qian couldn't help but ask: "What dangers are there in this extraterrestrial world? Is it the dangerous environment, or..."

Kui Subai sneered and said: "You don't even have time to take care of yourself, but you still care about this? If you are interested, you can go out and see for yourself."

Listening to Kui Subai's mocking tone, his hatred level was almost maxed out.Lu Qian wished he could slap her on the butt before continuing to listen to her.

Kui Subai choked Lu Qian, and then continued: "According to some historical records, our world was not what it is today a long time ago. Due to the lack of classics, we still don't understand many things. . Even in those ancient records, there are many contradictions. However, one thing is certain -

The world in the past was much larger than the land we live in now; and in the previous world, there was heaven above and hell below. After people died, their souls returned to the underworld for reincarnation; and the gods sent by heaven to the mortal world would occasionally Use your divine power to help people eliminate disasters. "

Speaking of this, even Kui Subai's iconic cold tone couldn't help but feel a little softer, as if there was a hint of yearning.

"It's a pity that everything has changed since that day."

Lu Qian asked, "What day?"

Kui Subai did not answer his words, but said: "There are three theories about the date of the last red moon. They are 1000 years ago, 500 years ago, and 5000 years ago. What are these three theories? Here, which one is correct, we have not yet been able to make a conclusion."

Lu Qian said: "You mean, the arrival of the red moon has changed our world?"

Kui Subai said: "It is basically certain that the beginning of the decline of our world began with the arrival of the last red moon."

Lu Qian frowned slightly and said, "Last time? So, has the red moon come many times?"

Kui Subai didn't say anything when he heard Lu Qian's words. His silent voice seemed to be dissatisfied with him interrupting him.When Lu Qian saw this, he made a shut-up gesture and motioned for her to continue.

Kui Subai then continued: "What is basically certain is that since the last red moon came, our world has been isolated from the divine court and the underworld. After a person dies, the ghost cannot return to the underworld and continue reincarnation; while the heavenly court is stationed in The gods in the mortal world also lost the source of their divine power and became 'Lost Gods'."

After saying this, Kui Subai fell silent.She stood with her hands tied and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zuo Qiuling couldn't help but ask, "What next?"

Kui Subai glanced at her coldly and said, "You are not qualified to talk to me."

Zuo Qiuling's face suddenly became extremely ugly.She glanced at Lu Qian, said "hum" and did not continue speaking.

Lu Qian looked at Kui Subai and said, "You mean, in our world and the entire Dali Kingdom, mortals will eventually disappear, and then this place will become a kingdom of ghosts and a paradise for ghosts?"

Kui Subai snorted coldly and said, "Do I need to have any doubts about this?"

Lu Qian was stunned by her words.

He had naturally thought about this.

However, this idea was too unbelievable; and since he didn't know much about the world, he didn't think much about it.

Kui Subai continued: "Human life is limited, but the ghosts' years are infinite. If this continues, there will naturally be fewer and fewer human beings and more and more ghosts. In the end, it will end with the demise of human beings, which is inevitable. .”

Hearing these words, told calmly by Kui Subai in a cold voice, Lu Qian's heart suddenly tightened inexplicably.

It's not that Lu Qian has never thought about this issue.

In fact, he had this doubt when he first learned that people in this world would have their ghosts linger in the world after death.

Although, Lu Qian has a mysterious scroll that can increase his lifespan to 1000 years, 1 years, 10 years... or even to one trillion years as long as he is happy.

However, as Kui Subai said, the fate of mankind will eventually come to an end.

At that time, he will be left alone, "living" in this world, not to mention the living environment he will face at that time, even if he can rely on his strength to sit back and relax, but what fun is there?
He can extend his life, but he can't do anything to others.

This is just his private thoughts.

More importantly, what does Kui Subai telling him have to do with them recruiting him?
Lu Qian's mind was racing rapidly. After a few breaths, he looked at Kui Subai and said in a deep voice: "So, because you have seen the final outcome, you decided to directly cultivate into the ghost path while you are still alive. Turn yourself into a member of the ghosts in order to live in harmony with this world forever?"

Kui Subai said very calmly and coldly: "Anyone with a sound mind would make the same choice. It's ridiculous that some people are still working hard to cultivate Yangshou. It's really ridiculous and ignorant."

Lu Qian understood that the "some people" she was talking about were Taoist and Buddhist cultivators.

In addition to pursuing the growth of one's own cultivation level, a cultivator is more importantly interested in increasing one's life span.

Cultivators in the world divide their cultivation levels into nine levels.

Ordinary people only need to cultivate to the sixth-grade true spirit realm to start reborn and increase their lifespan.

Of course, increasing longevity has always been extremely difficult.The cultivators in this world don't even dare to expect immortality.

It is said that even if one reaches the first level of "Earth Immortal Realm", it can only increase one's life span by more than a thousand years.

Although Kui Subai's words are reasonable, you can't say that other cultivators are ignorant and ridiculous, right?
After all, everyone clearly knows that there are problems in this world.Since people are willing to continue practicing, they should also have some means to deal with it.

Even if we take a hundred steps back, it has lasted for at least a thousand years since the arrival of the red moon. It is still a world dominated by humans. Although ghosts are everywhere, they do not fundamentally threaten the survival of humans.

And the human lifespan is only a hundred years. Do we need to worry about the illusory "end" and turn ourselves into a "ghost" early?

Lu Qian expressed his thoughts directly.

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Kui Subai was not surprised at all and said: "What you said is exactly what many ordinary people think. In the past, although your words were wrong, they still made some sense. But now, they are no longer true. It’s no longer valid.”

Lu Qian asked, "Why?"

Kui Subai said coldly: "Because the red moon is about to come for the second time."

……

The red moon will come for the second time.

Before Lu Qian savored Kui Subai's words carefully, the altar master Kui Su suddenly added another sentence:

"Lu Qian, have you ever thought about a question? After you die, it does not mean the end. Your ghost will definitely awaken.

Do you hope that when you wake up, you will be a venerable person, or a humble ant who can be manipulated and bullied by others? "
