The old man had no objection at all to Watson's question and just smiled faintly.
After resting for a moment, the bloody battles between gods and demons in ancient times were slowly told to Watson's ears like a spring breeze turning into rain. It was no longer as bloody as before.
Shaking his head, Watson couldn't help but sigh as he didn't expect it to be so wonderful in ancient times.
I thought that maybe only my godfather could answer these questions carefully himself.
After all, in his heart, his godfather is a legend in this world just like Yelu Mingzhu's master, the old monk.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the old man and said, "Senior, where did those gods go?"
The old man twitched the corners of his lips and had to smile bitterly: "I don't even understand. I have been trapped for countless years... It's good to be alive."
Hearing what the old man said, Watson then remembered that the old man in front of him might have been trapped in the temple.
If he didn't have unknown abilities, he might have disappeared into the long river of time.
He didn't know how terrifying the ancient war between gods and demons was.
It's just that there are no records in the collections of the Five Regions Dynasty, so we can get the secrets that have probably been lost for tens of millions of years.
Seeing Watson's shocked and puzzled expression, the old man sighed and said, "Compared with those gods who have disappeared, I am very lucky to be alive."
When Watson heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "This is so amazing..."
Everything the old man said had already exceeded his understanding of the laws of heaven, let alone the legends about gods and saints.
Thinking of this, Sheng couldn't help but move back. Perhaps in his opinion, the old man on the Buddhist altar was more dangerous than the legendary immortal.
The old man slowly raised his head and said calmly: "When one day you master the law of time..."
When Watson heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Can you control time? What is the law?"
Perhaps in Li Xiuyuan's view, Watson was still weak and there was no need to tell him the truth about the laws of heaven and earth.
Then there was a scene before him, which almost made him get lost in the old man's calculations about the rules.
The old man's long voice was full of nostalgia and helplessness for the past.
Looking at Watson, he said: "It's a pity that I only learned a few superficial things back then. Otherwise, I could consider passing it on to you so that you can see the magic of the law."
Watson's heart suddenly tightened, as the blacksmith master told him, if you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing.
You must not take chances when traveling in the world, let alone take advantage of a stranger, otherwise you will not know how you died.
And this old man who woke up from his deep sleep was too kind to his future. You know, he just poured two bowls of herbal tea for the old man.
Thinking of this, Watson suddenly felt a deep crisis in his heart...
Secretly frightened, he looked at the old man with a slightly different look.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at the old man and say: "Millions of years have passed, and the treasures that record those magical laws of those years have probably been destroyed in the long river of time."
Watson thought, even if he went back to ask the old monk and his godfather for advice, he would not dare to fall into the trap of the old man in front of him, because he had no idea.
Just like Hu Ge often said with a smile: "If you don't have hundreds or thousands of spiritual stones on your body when you are walking in the world, even if you have thousands of countless gold coins, then you have no bottom."
Because monks cannot be compared with ordinary people and traders, spiritual stones are the life of monks.
This is what Watson learned yesterday, and today the old man taught him another lesson. There is a treasure more powerful than the spirit stone, which is the law between heaven and earth.
The old man looked around and tried to stretch his waist. He had an aura that would break away in the next moment.
He said calmly: "According to my temper back then, when I escape, I will seek revenge on those guys."
Watson was stunned and blurted out: "Who do you want to seek revenge on, senior? For thousands of years, not to mention saints in the five realms, even great cultivators have rarely encountered one. Who do you want to find?"
The old man didn't expect Watson to speak like this, and couldn't help but sigh: "I paid countless prices back then, but now that I think about it, it's really not worth it."
Watson was startled, shook his head and said, "Perhaps they have died long ago. At least the seniors are still alive and well. Isn't this something to be thankful for?"
The old man lowered his head and looked quietly at his palms, which were like dead branches, and then at the sunny and youthful Watson under the altar.
I sighed again and again in my heart, not knowing what I was thinking.
Watson, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the old man's appearance and couldn't help but feel cold sweat streaming down his back. He thought to himself, "Do you want to take revenge on me?"
Firstly, I am not your enemy, and secondly, come to think of it, your parents are not great monks either? You shouldn't offend the old man in front of you, right?
Watson was vigilant, looked at the old man and said quietly: "Those past events have passed. I wonder where the senior wants to go next?"
In his opinion, to deal with the old man in front of him, he was afraid that only powerful masters like his godfather and old monk could take action.
It was no big deal for him, so he hugged Xiao Hei and slipped into the deep valley under the stone wall.
He still has a few magic talismans on him, so if he can't be defeated, running away shouldn't be a problem.
Fortunately, when he left Tianshan Apricot Blossom Valley, his godfather Li Xiuyuan gave him some magic talismans, just to prevent him from encountering unknown dangers.
The old man sighed, lowered his head and said quietly: "Do you want to learn that magical law?"
Watson opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
The old man didn't say anything, he just waved his fingers like dead branches and grabbed Watson who was sitting on the bluestone in the hall.
What frightened Watson was that the old man obviously didn't have any murderous intention, but time seemed to freeze in an instant. At this moment, time no longer existed.
Although the old man did not attack, he found that he could neither go up nor get down while flying in the air.
Even if you want to reach out and pick up the Demon-Conquering Sword on the ground, you can't do it, because time is still at this moment.
He didn't know if the old man had practiced the law of time as he said. With this move alone, he would be invincible in the five realms.
In the moment of life and death struggle, even if time stops for a moment, it is already a matter of life and death.
"The Buddha said that the past is unavailable. That's because people in the world cannot grasp the laws of time. When you reach that height one day, you will understand more truths."
The old man, who was as skinny as a tree, put away his hands, and Watson fell back to the ground with a crash. He was so frightened that he could not speak.
After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "So this is the time."
...
Looking at the old man in front of him, Watson sighed again and again in his heart, almost shouting that I want to learn such a rule.
If his master Hu Ge hadn't told him repeatedly before, I'm afraid he would have kowtowed to the ground to learn the art from his master.
Secretly, Watson bit his tongue, regained some clarity, and then sighed heavily.
The old man smiled and said: "You have seen the power of the laws... Could it be that you are not interested in the ancient laws?"
Watson was slightly startled, shook his head and said: "This junior is stupid, I am afraid that I will not be blessed with the power of the law, so I can only slowly follow the master to practice."
In his opinion, since he has a godfather and an old monk, why can't he learn more skills?
If my godfather doesn't teach me now, I'm afraid he thinks his cultivation level is too low and he hasn't reached that level yet.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said: "It's right that you are not interested. After all, you have not experienced the brutal war between gods and demons in ancient times, otherwise you would understand the importance of the law."
Watson didn't know what to say for a moment, but he saw something was wrong in the old man's eyes. At the moment, he just wanted to delay the time until Uncle Xiao Hei woke up from his dream.
Although he was a little panicked in his heart, there was no expression on his face.
"My master told me that gold coins will not fall from the sky."
Looking at the old man on the Buddhist altar, Watson said calmly: "I came to Yin Grassland just for fun and to fight the monsters on Yin Mountain. I have no more ambitions."
The world is big, as long as you don't mess with me.
Only then did Watson take a closer look at the old man's condition. It turned out that the old man's lower body was still stuck deep in the Buddhist altar, preventing him from leaving the place where he was imprisoned.
For Watson, it finally gave him temporary relief.
"There are countless opportunities hidden in the temple. Here, you can become a Buddha or become a devil with just one thought. Little one, you have to be careful."
The conversation changed and the old man told Watson about the methods of Buddha and Demon, which made Watson uncontrollably nervous. This was not the outcome he wanted.
After a moment of silence, Watson shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I am not a disciple of Buddhism, how can I become a Buddha?"
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Watson to be so vigilant. He couldn't help but sigh: "Demons are everywhere... Do you think only Buddhist disciples can think in a single thought?"
Watson shook his head. He thought of his formless body, the formless golden body that he would practice in a few years, and what the old monk said to him.
So he replied coldly: "I am righteous and there is no way I can become a demon!"
Seeing Watson's expression of being a little excited and about to run away, the old man stretched out his withered fingers and quietly pointed at the Buddhas around him.
He said in a deep voice: "Between Buddha and Demon, it is not your choice. When you survive the thunder tribulation of ascension one day and fall down to the final tribulation of inner demons..."
Watson looked at the old man silently, neither answering nor speaking.
The old man looked at the stubborn guy in front of him with the same expression on his face.
The two of them seemed to be caught in a tug-of-war in an instant, and gradually fell into a dead silence.
What made Watson feel incredible was that in the silence between the two of them, a faint Buddha's light suddenly shone gently on the old man's skinny face.
He even had the illusion that the old man sitting on the Buddhist altar was a divine Buddha walking in the world.
"The past is as glorious as the long night filled with stars, and will eventually disappear in the endless river of time. This is the sorrow of all practitioners..."
The old man sighed, not knowing whether it was for his disappeared companions or for himself.
At this moment, a spring breeze suddenly blew from the mountains, bringing a breath of life to the temple that had been sleeping for thousands of years, gradually nourishing the old man's skinny body.
For example, the branches in Tianshan Apricot Blossom Valley, which have been silent for a winter, are sprouting and blooming.
Watson watched everything happening in front of him quietly, as if he were in his own backyard, silently waiting for the apricot blossoms to bloom quietly at night.
There was no trace of joy or sorrow on his face, because the Demon-Conquering Sword behind him was trembling lightly, reminding him not to fall into the abyss.
Looking at the old man, he said: "The power of time is an unchanging law of heaven. How can ordinary monks like us understand it?"
The old man looked at him and smiled and said: "If I can escape from this temple, how will this world restrain me? This heaven and earth, which does not even have saints, is just a incomplete heaven."
Watson has been stalling for time. The only thing he can do is to keep a clear mind at all times and grit his teeth to resist the temptations of the old man.
The old man on the Buddhist altar was the biggest temptation he encountered since he came down from Tianshan Mountain.
An old man who seduced by the law of time, a monk who could make him lose his mind at any time.
The old man paused for a long time, and then said proudly: "In my opinion, even if the way of heaven is great, sometimes you can't avoid some favors."
Watson was speechless when he heard this, because this was not a truth he could understand. His godfather and monk had never taught him these truths.
The old man suddenly said: "I can teach you the principles of the Great Dao. Do you want to practice it?"
