Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight of the remnant soul of the ancestor
How come there are no gods?
How to explain the sky filled with gods and Buddhas?
How should we explain the Patriarch of Sanqing who wakes up every day on the ninth day of the lunar month? Is it really necessary to understand it as so-called faith?
Facing my doubts and questions three times in a row, Master's expression changed slightly, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question, and then Master smiled and patted my head.
"Can you understand the planes and laws?"
Master explained to me that existences like Ivan Qiao, who are called earth immortals, are because they can understand and apply more laws of this world. If they master the rules of the plane to a certain extent, they will become so-called earth immortals.
of gods.
To put it simply, in people's eyes, gods are those who have reached a certain stage of cultivation and have moved to a higher level of life.
"Is this the four-dimensional space that scientists call?"
Master nodded and then shook his head. I nodded because I quickly understood what he meant. I shook my head because the space in which humans live belongs to the four-dimensional space.
I was completely confused by this statement. The scientific community has clearly stated that we live in a three-dimensional space.
"Human beings, as three-dimensional beings, do live in a four-dimensional space, but it is an imperfect four-dimensional space."
The four-dimensional space includes the three-dimensional scale and the time scale. Master didn't say anything more, just said that I understand this concept. People like him just live in a more perfect four-dimensional space.
"Master, according to you, there should still be a five-dimensional space?"
Facing my question, Master looked up at the depths of the sky. Maybe it exists.
"Master, can you tell me how old you are? They guess that you lived to be eight or nine hundred years old."
I asked Xin Zhong's biggest question, and Master smiled angrily. There is a limit to human lifespan. How could it be possible to live for so long?
"If I lived to this day, I would be one hundred, eighty or ninety years old."
I kept thinking about what Mr. Xu and Chujiu told me about Master being from the Ming Dynasty. I didn’t pay attention to the most important meaning of Master’s words. I just heard him say that he was one hundred, eighty or ninety years old.
"That letter?"
Master smiled and destroyed those letters if he knew it. It was actually because he wanted to keep the letters from his friends as a souvenir, but we discovered them through these clues.
"I was also the one in the early Ming Dynasty."
The master's words made me even more confused. He also said that he only lived one hundred, eighty or ninety years old, and he was also the one from the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps seeing my puzzled expression, Master dipped his finger in tea and drew a line on the wooden table.
"From one end of this line to the other, everyone in this world can do it. What if this line is divided into time periods?"
The master pointed at several positions on the line. If this is the Ming Dynasty, this is the Qing Dynasty, and this is the current time, then there is no way to know where to go, right?
I nodded in agreement, and Master then told me that if they are people from higher-level planes, they can travel on this line by using the rules of time and space.
"The one in the tomorrow is me, and the one now is me, do you understand?"
I nodded in understanding. It was like a time and space door in the cartoon book shown to me on the ninth day of the month. Through that door, I could go to any era I wanted to go to.
"But even if you go back to the past, you can't change some things as you like, otherwise it will change history."
Master told me that when he lived in the Ming Dynasty, he just wanted to understand some things at that time. He lived in that era like an ordinary person. He did not leave that era until the things he wanted to understand happened and saw the causes and consequences.
"After leaving that time and space, the people there will forget that I once lived there, and all traces of me will disappear from that time and space."
Master talked a lot about this aspect until I roughly figured out what was going on. When I asked why he appeared here, Master paused and told me that when his time comes,
Divide your soul into several parts and store them in several places through some channels.
"What?"
Only then did I remember the meaning of what Master said before. I grabbed Master's arm. It was indeed flesh and blood. How could it be a remnant soul?
"As for where else I am now, I actually don't know either."
The master said that this remnant soul was left here intentionally because of the incident in the ancient Miao village. He once calculated that his descendants would suffer such a disaster because of him, so he simply made such a plan.
"Master, my uncle said that he saw you going to the ancient Miao village when he was a child. You are so capable, why didn't you solve the problem of the ancient Miao village at that time?"
Master looked at me again and smiled. It was indeed nothing wrong with him to deal with the ancient Miao village. It was just that the ancient Miao village had some connections with the place where he lived. Due to the rules of that place, he could not directly attack the ancient Miao village.
Zhai took action directly.
"Boundary Keeper, you must have heard of this term, right?"
I nodded. My grandfather and uncle once said that boundary keepers are responsible for and solve the irregular things in a certain area that may affect the current living conditions.
It can be understood that the master chuckled lightly. He was still a boundary keeper before he went to that place.
What you do after you reach that place as a practitioner is actually similar to that of a boundary keeper, except that you deal with things related to that place.
Everything the master did in this world, starting from the time he took in my grandfather and uncle, was all for one purpose: the ancient Miao village.
The more I listened, the more confused I became. Due to certain restrictions, the master could not personally deal with the ancient Miao village, so he took in two apprentices. After decades of deployment, what happened to Chujiu and I in the ancient Miao village happened.
"Master, did you arrive at all this very early?"
The one who answered me was that the master nodded slightly. Before my grandfather and uncle were born, he had already calculated the current results, otherwise there would be no current scene.
"Ah? Master, can you predict things so far into the future?"
I am amazed at my master's ability. At my current level, I can only predict what may happen in a few months at most. I cannot guarantee that the outcome will be correct, and it will take a long time.
"So you still have a long way to go, haha."
Master jokingly said that the development of everything has its own traces, and this is the principle of one birth, two, two, three, and three, all things.
"I just spent hundreds of years trying to find the most likely outcome from thousands of results."
Speaking of this, Master specifically explained to me that these hundreds of years are what I understand as hundreds of years, not the time of the place where he is.
