The old man was wearing a shabby gray robe and was carefully cleaning a tomb with a broom.
Gu Qingfeng walked over, but the old man was indifferent.
I don't know whether he didn't discover the existence of Gu Qingfeng, or the old man didn't care whether Gu Qingfeng existed or not.
"Junior Gu Qingfeng pays homage to senior."
Gu Qingfeng cupped his fists and saluted, but the old man continued to clean the tomb as if he didn't hear.
"Junior Gu Qingfeng pays homage to senior."
Gu Qingfeng continued to clasp his fists in salute, but the old man still ignored him.
"Junior Gu Qingfeng pays homage to senior."
Gu Qingfeng cupped his fists and saluted for the third time. This time the old man finally spoke: "I wonder what's going on at the lay residence?"
"This junior entered this place by mistake. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me, senior."
"Everything in heaven and earth has its cause and effect. Even if a layman comes to this place, it is the same. He did not enter by mistake. Naturally, there is no word of offense."
Gu Qingfeng could tell that the old senior seemed to have something to say, but the other party didn't say it clearly, and he didn't bother to explain, so he asked: "May I ask who the senior is."
"I'm just the guardian of the tomb here."
"Guardian of the tomb?" Gu Qingfeng asked knowingly, "Then where is this place?"
"Since I am the guardian of the mausoleum, this is a natural mausoleum site."
"Whose tomb?"
"The mausoleum of all avenues."
"What is buried in the tomb?"
"The foundation of the avenue, the root of the avenue, the foundation of the avenue, the heart of the avenue, the source of the avenue..."
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly and asked: "If what is buried in the tomb is the source of the great avenue, then what are all the great avenues of the past and present?"
"What is buried in the tomb is only the source of the great ways of the Wudao era."
“What do you mean, it’s hard to say that the fallen great ways of the Wudao era are not the same thing as the various great ways of modern and ancient times?”
"The age of innocence is a cursed era, an era of errors and confusion, an era of reversed cause and effect, and an era that should not exist."
The Wudao Era is a cursed era. Gu Qingfeng can understand what is going on. But it can be said that the Wudao Era is an era of errors and confusion, an era of chaotic cause and effect, and it is an era that should not exist. This is
Gu Qingfeng was a little confused and asked: "I hope senior can give me some advice."
"If I don't understand it myself, how can I give guidance to lay people?"
"this……"
The old man murmured to himself: "I only know that all this is caused by a curse."
"Curse? What curse?"
"A curse of karma."
Cause and effect, damn cause and effect again!
It can be said that Gu Qingfeng has already cast a shadow on the word cause and effect. Whenever he hears these two words, he will have an inexplicable headache.
"Why is the old man guarding this mausoleum here?"
"I forgot, and I can't remember..."
"Is it confusing that Senior is also lost?"
"Maybe."
Gu Qingfeng really couldn't tell whether this old senior was lost or not.
The old man was cleaning the tomb and drifting away. Gu Qingfeng did not follow him. Although he had a lot of doubts and questions to ask about the Wudao Era, but the old man kept talking about cause and effect. Gu Qingfeng really had a headache when he heard it.
I'm too lazy to bother with it any more.
He just stared at it for a while, and when he was about to leave, a faint voice suddenly came.
"Friend, you are welcome and safe."
A person appeared in response.
A man wrapped tightly in white cloth.
Seeing this man, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect to see such a friend who was not a friend here.
"What? It's just that tens of thousands of years have passed, so you don't recognize me now?"
The man who was wrapped tightly in white cloth only showed a pair of abyss-like eyes. After he appeared, he stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at Gu Qingfeng.
"You dress so fashionably, I can still recognize you even if you turn into ashes."
Gu Qingfeng replied with a smile.
For some reason, when he saw this mysterious man in white cloth, he felt an unexpected surprise in his heart.
Yes.
surprise.
Because since ancient Qingfeng merged with the blood of original sin, all the people who came into contact with original sin have been lost without exception. They are either nagging, like Jun Xuanji, or crazy, like that crazy old man, even if they meet one or two
Those who are in a sane state of mind, such as the old monk in the Nirvana Bone Jade, and the tomb-keepers of these various avenues, are all silent when it comes to the age of innocence. Apart from cause and effect, it is still cause and effect.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingfeng discovered that the only mysterious man in front of him, wrapped in white cloth, seemed to be normal. He was neither nagging nor crazy. The most important thing was that he seemed to know a lot about things in the Wudao Era.
.
Moreover, Gu Qingfeng has always had a strange feeling about this mysterious man. This feeling is very complicated, like a familiar feeling, not deja vu, but an inexplicable connection.
"Of course, if I turn into ashes, I believe you will be able to recognize me."
"Why?"
"I said, I am who you are, we belong to the same kind of people, and we belong to the same person."
Hear the words.
Gu Qingfeng's heart moved. He still clearly remembered that the last time he saw this mysterious man in the Nightmare of Original Sin, he asked him who he was. He also clearly remembered that the mysterious man answered him with these words.
"So, you are also a person of original sin, and the fusion is also a drop of original sin blood from Wu Dao Zun that is alive."
"Maybe."
"perhaps?"
"perhaps."
Although the mysterious man did not admit it, Gu Qingfeng already had the answer in his heart. In his mind, this mysterious man should be like himself and must have fused a drop of original sin blood with life on Wudao Lord. If not,
I don't have an inexplicable feeling towards him. This feeling should be the connection between that drop of original sin blood.
Gu Qingfeng asked: "We have met three times. The first time was in the secular world, the second time was in the Nightmare of Original Sin, and the third time was here. I suddenly discovered a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"No matter where I am, you seem to be able to find me."
The mysterious man asked: "Do you need me to repeat it?"
"Repeat what?"
"I said, I am who you are, we belong to the same kind of people, and we belong to the same person. In a sense, you are you, I am you, I am me, and you are me.
, I look for you as I look for myself."
Whatever you are, I am also you.
What is it? I am me, and you are me too.
Gu Qingfeng was a little confused, but the mysterious man smiled and said, "You will understand later."
"Okay, maybe I'm stupid and can't understand the mystery for a while." Gu Qingfeng sighed helplessly and asked: "But, if that's the case, then why can't I find you?"
"It's not that you can't find it, it's that you don't want to look for it."
"I didn't say I didn't want to look for it, I didn't even know how to look for it."
The mysterious man shook his head slightly and said: "You have always refused to accept the cause and effect of the era of innocence, and you have even been resisting. To be precise, you have been resisting that drop of original sin blood. If so, how can you find me?"
