There was an indescribable desolation in the old laughter.
When it comes to words, there is only the word "drinking".
Since Hou Guanyu's enthronement banquet, Lin Xi often came to drink with Mr. Ge as an opportunity.
Mr. Ge has nothing to do on weekdays. It is rare to have a drinking buddy, so he is naturally very welcome.
Going back and forth, the two gradually became more proficient.
From Elder Ge's mouth, Lin Xi learned many secrets that few people know today.
For example, in the ancient world of warriors, the entire world once had six continents, with a vast territory and a vast territory.
However, a war whose cause no one could explain sank five and a half pieces of six continents, leaving only the land now dominated by the Chen Kingdom. And some areas. In the aftermath of the war, the climate and environmental conditions were extremely
Bad badlands.
It was from that time on that the ancient warriors declined.
It seems that in order to protect the world, the ancient warriors at that time chose not to teach or only teach the true ancient martial arts.
As for why it evolved into the current situation, Mr. Ge did not explain it, and Lin Xi did not ask further questions.
Warriors are mostly aggressive and destructive, which is different from immortal cultivators.
In the Qingxiao Realm, there was also a battle in the Ancient Immortal Court.
However, afterwards, a large number of immortal cultivators repaired the mountains and rivers, filled the lakes and seas on their own, and after many years, the broken world could be considered to have been repaired.
This is not only a kind of practice, but also a kind of merit, which helps the practitioner to obtain the favor of heaven and earth and gain the opportunity to become an immortal.
To put it simply, most warriors are simply destructive maniacs.
Their destructive power is strong, but after the destruction, they are helpless and can only use some stupid methods to keep the world running.
Immortal cultivators can both destroy and repair.
The people in the front damaged the world, and the people in the back were responsible for repairing it and earning another wave of merit...perhaps by recycling the world and harvesting the merits of heaven?
"Since your life is not happy, why don't you leave?" Lin Xi asked Mr. Ge, taking advantage of the wine.
Asking questions pays attention to methods and methods.
Use different methods with different people.
Those who are weak and can be bullied, or who want something from you, can just go straight to the point.
And like Mr. Ge, Lin Xi needs to be guided slowly, carefully, bit by bit, without haste.
"If I'm not happy here, in this vast world... where can I be happy?"
"Thousands of years ago, I once asked an old man like you. His answer at that time was... The world is so big that there are many places to stay, but there is no room for your heart. Since you are not happy anywhere,
...Whether you stay here or not, what difference does it make?" Of course Mr. Ge was not easily drunk, but what he said was all drunken talk.
Whether wine is intoxicating or not is sometimes not so clear-cut.
But for those who want to get drunk, he will always find a way.
"There is no firm and unbreakable martial arts heart inside, but there is no sustenance outside. There is no way forward, no one behind, he is alone, alone. It seems that he is really lonely..." Ge Lao's mentality, Lin Xi
Very easy to understand.
This state of mind is rare among immortal cultivators.
But it is very common among the natural gods.
To put it simply, mind, strength and lifespan cannot match.
An ordinary person with an ordinary mind may be able to live for more than a hundred years and still be able to survive.
But if you live a thousand years or ten thousand years, what kind of pain would it be to endure the loneliness brought by time and endure the time taking away all the familiar and beloved ones?
Lin Xi, as a demon now, can no longer feel this emotion.
But in his last life, as a human, he had witnessed a similar state.
Lin Xi's grandfather in his last life suffered from Alzheimer's disease. He was occasionally awake and confused most of the time.
My grandmother passed away early, and all her familiar friends are gone. Even when my memory returns to my youth, every scene and thing that existed deep in my memory has long since disappeared.
Even at home, you can get lost.
After missing for the last time, the family found my grandfather's body in a pool.
No one knows whether grandpa accidentally fell in or jumped in by his own choice.
At that time, Lin Xi thought, maybe...if we don't have the courage and confidence to endure loneliness and face change, then longevity...is the last disaster in life.
When I was young, I remembered the immortal zombies in zombie movies, but I was tired of immortality.
At the time, it seemed like hypocrisy. How unrestrained and joyful it was to be immortal and immortal. Even if you couldn't eat normally, it shouldn't be a big deal.
But when your heart is truly settled, your soul has a destination and a harbor, and you are afraid of being alone, your views will be different.
"Why don't you die?" Lin Xi looked at Mr. Ge and asked.
Since Mr. Ge is so lonely and tired of this world, why doesn't he die?
"Because I'm still not willing to give in."
"I'm still waiting. I still have a question that I haven't found the answer to." Under Lin Xi's step-by-step guidance, Mr. Ge finally got close to the core of the topic that Lin Xi wanted to know.
"I know, you must have noticed something. I don't care how you noticed it. Now... are you ready to accept this answer?" Mr. Ge looked at Lin Xi, with a rare twinkle in his cloudy eyes.
look.
Lin Xi smiled brightly when he heard this.
Sure enough... As people mature with age, how can they be fooled so easily?
Unless your brain is no longer functioning properly.
When it works, no one can be fooled.
But Lin Xi was not worried that he would not get the answer he wanted.
In addition to his confidence in himself, he also believed that Mr. Ge was willing to talk so much to him not just to end the topic here and to tease him.
After all, not everyone is an out-of-context dog who just likes to whet his appetite.
"Just tell me!" Lin Xi said.
Mr. Ge doesn't taboo anything, and he doesn't care if someone monitors him.
"The dormitory position is a game, and all the true warriors are fish in the net."
"There is a big net between heaven and earth, which intercepts the overwhelming power between heaven and earth above the Nine Heavens and under the Nine Netherworld. But to maintain this net, someone must replenish it with energy from time to time.
"
"The forty-nine position warriors are the firewood that replenishes the energy of this network. They have obtained more power of heaven and earth, but one day, they need to return all the power they have received to suppress the power of heaven and earth.
The only thing that is powerful is the power of heaven and earth.”
"So, the Great Network of Heaven and Earth has been formed for so many years, and there are so many true warriors, but only a useless person like me has survived long enough. Because everyone has become firewood and fuel."
Elder Ge's words made Lin Xi suddenly have a flash of light in his mind. He had many questions and suddenly got the answer.
"I see!"
"No wonder it's like this!" Lin Xi sighed.
Then he asked: "Did you know the truth, so you chose to destroy yourself and become a useless piece of wood, not worth burning?"
Mr. Ge shook his head and said: "No! The meaning of my life has long ceased to exist. When and how I die makes no difference to me. I just want to... see her again and ask her what is in my heart.
