Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 943: Lu Qibin's Past - Extra : The Earth is Moving
There is a natural cave at the foot of the southern mountain range. After being transformed by the Xingguan Sect over the generations, it is interconnected inside, but there is only one exit.

The twenty-meter-high stone door slowly opened, and two disciples from the Xingguan Sect came out, escorting a tall, skinny man with wrinkles all over his face, gray hair, and few teeth in his mouth.

There is no doubt that Smith suffered a lot during his imprisonment.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

Li Yang smiled brightly.

But Smith just glanced at her and said, "Don't try to please me. After all, I'm just a useless person now and can't give you any benefits."

In an instant, Li Yang's smile froze, but he still kept smiling. He greeted the two Xingguanzong behind Smith, and explained that they were people from her village. Then he led them along the path and slowly walked towards the village.

"What crime did Mr. Smith commit that resulted in his imprisonment?" Li Yang knew very well that he should not ask such questions. It would not be good for his future and would only cause trouble for himself.

But the prisoners who were released were basically useless, their soul power circulation channels were cut off, and they could no longer use their martial spirits...
She felt she could beat him.

Of course, none of this is important. What’s important is that her curiosity last night has made her itchy today. If she doesn’t get to the bottom of it, she’s afraid she’ll have trouble concentrating on her cultivation in the future.

"For you, knowing this is of no benefit, right?" Smith seemed to have seen through Li Yang's thoughts. He grinned, revealing a few yellow teeth, pointed at the astrolabe hanging on her waist, snatched it away, and glanced at the notebook on her waist. He also took it out and flipped through it. "Do you like stargazing? It seems that you have a pair of eyes that are eager to explore the truth of the world!"

"No!"

Li Yang denied it immediately, but when he saw the other party suddenly laugh, he realized that he denied it too quickly, which made him look like he was trying to cover up his mistake. But he was not ashamed and quickly adjusted his mentality. He said calmly, "It's just a hobby. Although the sect doesn't like its disciples to waste time on such things, it won't forcibly prohibit it."

"interesting."

Smith's cloudy eyes seemed to light up, making Li Yang a little afraid to look directly at him. "Tonight, wait for me at the village gate. I'll take you to stargaze."

"..."

Li Yang felt that the other person had a problem with his brain and said bluntly: "How could I be related to you?"

"The reason I went in—"

Smith pointed behind him and said with a smile, "It's because of stargazing!"

In an instant, Li Yang was frozen in place like an eternal statue. She turned back blankly and looked at Smith who gave her a meaningful smile. She only had one sentence: "Impossible!"

Again, although the elders of Xingguan Sect do not like their disciples to waste their time on such things, they will definitely not give their disciples such severe punishment!

Smith must have done something else!

such as:

Challenge the authority of the Xingguan Sect's direct lineage!

However, facing Li Yang's denial, Smith stopped talking and just kept walking forward.

Helpless, Li Yang could only follow.

After learning about Li Yang's parents' identities, Smith smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I'm your cousin!"

【madman! 】

Li Yang's reason told her that only by staying away from this guy could she have a bright future. Otherwise, countless troubles would come to her.

It was night at the village entrance.

Li Yang saw Smith who had been waiting for a long time and asked, "Where are you taking me to stargaze?"

"I was right. You are different from others. You dare to seek the truth." Smith's eyes were full of admiration. "I just like stargazing."

Li Yang is stubborn.

As for whether she had any intention of exploring the specific reasons why Smith was punished, I'm afraid even she herself couldn't explain it clearly.

"Come with me."

Smith led the way in front, and Li Yang followed behind. They crossed the nearby hillsides, peeled off the dense bushes, and came to a very open cliff.

Looking into the distance, you can see a small village.

That is the village where Lu Qibin lives.

But Li Yang's eyes followed him up, and in the blue-black night sky, there were countless stars dotted around, and what he saw seemed to be connected into a long river emitting a white halo.

For a moment, she was stunned.

This was the most magnificent galaxy she had ever seen in her life!

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Smith's eyes were extremely calm. "This stargazing spot is no worse than the main peak where the Xingguan Sect is located. As long as it is open enough, stargazing is not a problem. Whether it is the Xingguan Sect or an ordinary village, they are all located under the same sky."

Li Yang opened his mouth, feeling a little overwhelmed.

But Smith still gave her time to calm down until Li Yang asked, "What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?"

Smith smiled, "I just hope that Xingguan Sect can become better. Do you know why Xingguan Sect does not allow disciples from other families to discuss direct descendants? Why is there a legend in the sect that if you understand the trajectory of the stars, you may have the possibility of breaking through the hundredth level?"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Yang had a hunch that Smith in front of him was like the weird uncle who abducted the little girl, but those traffickers could only use honey at most, while he seized his weakness:

Desire to explore.

Reason told her that she should not go on, but curiosity drove her to ask the man in front of her.

Smith pondered for a moment and said, "Let's get back to stargazing. Why do you think the paths of the stars in the sky around the earth are not perfect circles? They are obviously round like the moon and the sun, so why are the sun and the moon so special that their paths around the earth are circular, while the rest of the stars go around once, then go backwards, and then move forward again after a while?"

"What's this?"

Li Yang tried to pretend to be uninterested, "Perhaps this is the law of the operation of the stars in the universe. It's just that humans are too insignificant. Even soul masters are very insignificant compared to the whole world."

"That's true, but the so-called rules are actually very simple, at least that's how they appear on the surface. For example, water flows to lower places, clouds float in the sky, the four seasons rotate, and so on. There are countless examples like this, including the orbits of the stars in the sky."

Smith patiently persuaded, "What exactly are the stars in the sky? Right now, no one of us can make a conclusion, but one thing is certain, that is the trajectory of the stars. That appearance is definitely visible to us, even ordinary people without any soul power.

But why are the orbits of the other stars so discordant?
There must be a reason for this!

Either, as you said, humans are too insignificant to understand the workings of the stars; or our ideas have always been wrong.

Why not make a bold assumption: What if the world we live in, the earth, is also moving? "
