From the end of the world

Chapter 287 Magical power is no match for Tianshu

The fake moon in the water once again demonstrated its cheating properties.

This magic weapon is like a master key. No matter what puzzle is in front of you, as long as you use it, you can get the answer directly from the person who set the question.

The old man in Guyue Village might be trying to hide something. Normally, we might need to use some roundabout methods to get the truth from him. The fake Moon in the Water is simply a plug-in software for horror games, which directly helps us skip countless troublesome levels in one go and makes the truth easily accessible.

However, if this kind of mental manipulation is used too many times, it is inevitable that one will become contemptuous of other people's hearts and ignore the importance of normal communication. Not long ago, when I hypnotized the restaurant owner and regular customers at the foot of the mountain, I had a similar feeling. In fact, I am not so worried that I will become like that. I am confident that I can distinguish the difference between friends and other people. It's just that I don't want my friends - Zhu Shi and Chang An to think that I am the kind of arrogant person.

Whether it was last time or this time, Ma Zao seemed to have no psychological barriers to this, probably because of the difference in values. While she is kind-hearted, she is also naive in some aspects. Even if she wants to save strangers she has never met, it does not prevent her from manipulating other people's minds with the fake Shui Zhongyue.

Somewhere in my heart, I hope she can always maintain this extraordinary spirit.

"Zhuang Cheng, these people..." She turned and looked at me.

"Did you feel it too? Yes, they should be similar to the winter cars," I said.

"Similar to me, which means..." Dong Che's eyes changed, "They may also be dead?"

"It's possible that they're not human at all."

As I said that, I looked at Dong Che again, and I had even deeper doubts in my mind - could it be that Master Gua Tianshi could not predict the situation in Dong Che?
According to the information I heard from Fufeng, Gua Tianshi is a great impermanence who can calculate all changes in the past, present and future. I feel that this statement may be an exaggeration, but at least, since Gua Tianshi is a great impermanence who is proficient in divination and fortune-telling, it should be easy for him to grasp the experience of people with whom he has a deep connection.

As Gua Tianshi's disciple, Dong Che has defected from the supernatural camp, but judging from Gua Tianshi's attitude of welcoming Dong Che at any time and believing that Dong Che will return to his school, Dong Che is still regarded as Gua Tianshi's direct disciple.

So, is it really possible that Dong Che would die here so easily, or be killed and replaced by a strange creature?
Or had the Gua Tianshi foreseen the events happening here at this moment, and what he really welcomed was not the real Dong Che, but the strange creature that killed and replaced Dong Che in the near future?

Is it possible that Gua Tianshi has also come to the Yueyin Mountain area?
The appearance of the Great Impermanence is always accompanied by the Law of Heaven and Earth. The Law of Heaven and Earth of the Water Master Xuanwu and I have appeared in the area of ​​Yueyin Mountain at the same time, and more signs of change do not seem to have appeared. However, before Mr. Zhu told me that the Water Master Xuanwu had arrived, I did not associate the heavy rain in Yueyin Mountain City with the arrival of the Water Master Xuanwu. I just thought that it was a weather change derived from the combination of the high temperature I brought and the local cold air.

Maybe the Heavenly Master's Law of Heaven and Earth has already appeared, but I haven't been able to distinguish it from the many changes.

I tried to ask Dong Che Gua Tianshi what his law of celestial phenomena was, but Dong Che just shook his head in embarrassment.

"Master said that as long as I reach the Great Perfection stage, I will naturally understand his Law of Heaven and Earth." Dong Che said, "Because this is a test question, I never asked in depth in the past, nor did I ask other people."

He even hid it from his own apprentice. This fortune teller gave me the flavor of a prophet who likes to tell riddles, which is common in classical magic stories. Although I can understand that mentality, if I could predict the future, I would definitely say some unnecessary and confusing things to confuse people, but because I am not, I hate people who do that.

However, it is not impossible to analyze everything from Dong Che's answer. At least we can understand that the manifestation of Gua Tianshi's law of heaven and earth should be very non-intuitive. At least it will not be a simple and crude way to increase the temperature, cause heavy rain, or cause white fog to appear around.

Judging from the fact that "the Gua Tianshi is good at predicting the impermanence of all things in the past and future", could it be that his laws of heaven and earth are related to concepts such as time and space and cause and effect?
I collected my thoughts for the moment, focused my gaze on what was in front of me, and asked the old man from Guyue Village, "Can you tell us about Guyue God now? Why were you so reluctant to tell me about Guyue God before?"

"Because the Ancient Moon God is a bloodthirsty, man-eating evil god." The old man answered bluntly, "Anyone who comes into contact with the Ancient Moon God will not have a good ending. Our village must strictly keep the secrets related to the Ancient Moon God. Once an outsider knows the existence of the Ancient Moon God and has the foolish idea of ​​using its power to seek personal gain, it will bring disaster to the outside world."

"So, where is this Ancient Moon God now?" I asked.

"It was sealed in the village's ancestral hall by our ancestors," said the old man.

Silver Moon was sealed long ago? How is this possible?

“You mean, a powerful evil god that can bring devastating disaster to the outside world... is sealed in a small village like yours?” Dong Che immediately pointed out the unreasonableness.

Because the other party was in a state of mental manipulation, he did not doubt that the other party was lying, but he still seemed to be unable to help asking: "Is the Ancient Moon God you mentioned really that great?"

“How can a child from another country like you possibly know how powerful the Ancient Moon God is? If the Ancient Moon God wanted to, he could conquer the world in just a week, and all of humanity would suffer under his terror.” The old man started talking.

"you……"

Because what the old man said was so outrageous, Dong Che seemed to have no idea how to respond. He opened and closed his mouth, then looked at me at a loss.

His expression was like someone who was stopped by an old man or woman passing by on the village road, and then was told a superstitious doomsday doctrine that he had never heard of, saying that if he did not follow the doctrine, the unpopular god whose number of followers might have reached three digits would be furious and destroy the world.

In fact, the old man was not completely bragging, and might even be a little restrained.

If the world we live in is a world without any supernatural power, and if we put in Silver Moon, a monster that can fulfill almost all human wishes and has super destructive power both in the spiritual world and in the material world, the time she needs to conquer the planet may be calculated in hours.

"How did your ancestors seal such a powerful evil god?" I asked.

"Our Guyue Village was founded by a group of refugees who strayed into Yueyin Mountain. Among these refugees, there was a deity with great magical powers that could change the world. When the refugees met Guyue God, he was also present." The old man said, "At first, Guyue God treated the refugees kindly and provided them with the necessary supplies for food, clothing and shelter. Therefore, the deity did not move and quietly lurked among the refugees. Guyue God asked the refugees to believe in him, and the deity did not say anything, but just watched quietly.

"Not long after, the Ancient Moon God revealed its true evil face - it began to demand that the villagers offer living sacrifices for it. At first, it only asked for living animals, but later it asked the villagers to offer their own children, parents, or wives and husbands.

"It feasts on the villagers who offer the living sacrifices, and takes pleasure in listening to the screams of the living sacrifices and watching the villagers cry. It even asks the lovers to offer one of them to another person of the opposite sex, and the other must watch the whole process. It also asks the villagers to have sex with their children or parents in public, and even sends the beast to the men and women in the village...

"At that time, there were countless moral degradations. The gods could no longer stand by and watch. They sealed the cruel and evil Ancient Moon God at the cost of their own lives.

"The vast majority of the surviving villagers fled Yueyin Mountain, but a very small number of people voluntarily stayed in Guyue Village, which is now Hujia Village, in order to take on the responsibility of monitoring the seal."

The story seems to end here.

"I still don't quite understand. You said that the immortal had the power to change the world, but why did he end up living in seclusion with the refugees?" I asked. "The refugees went to the mountains to escape the war, but why did the immortal do that?"

"Because even the gods could not change the dark world at that time, he became discouraged and chose to live in seclusion with the refugees." The old man replied.

"He obviously possesses such great magical powers that he can even change the seal of the Ancient Moon God who could bring disaster to the outside world, but he can't even change the way of the world for mere mortals?" I asked deliberately.

"The gods once said: supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny," said the old man.

Dong Che was thoughtful and said to himself: "Supernatural power cannot defeat destiny..."

These six words may be the best summary of the inability of the great unpredictable people in the past to intervene in the world of common sense.

Although the old man probably didn't know what the divine seal was, or what the power was that split the world into two, into the inside and the outside, his description was roughly consistent with my knowledge.

The Great Impermanence and some Great Perfection Ranks can change the order of nature by themselves. Their power is so great that it is no longer a "magic spell" but a "divine power". However, throughout the ages, so many Great Impermanence have been unable to resist the power of the Divine Seal and can only lie dormant in the dark side of human civilization. If such power is not "fate", then what is it?
