"Dao Wo, spare me, spare me, I won't do it again! I won't do it again! "
The eccentric was trembling in fear, but he didn't forget to wink at Liu Yating and Su Qianci. He was so naughty and wretched that the two girls didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
That "Dao Wo" only appeared for a brief moment, and after suppressing the strange man, it instantly turned into specks of light that filled the air and disappeared.
Liu Yating saw that the eccentric seemed to be more honest. She smiled and said, "I've asked Shen Le and his wife to have dinner together tonight!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Tian nodded slightly and went out with the eccentric.
In order to let Jiang Tian meet more acquaintances, they chose the restaurant of an old friend.
This old friend was "Sister Li," the widow of an Anti-Narcotics Police officer.
Back then, she used to help Jiang Tian's family. After Jiang Tian became famous, he also helped her deal with Ye Wudao's son, Ye Ji, who kept harassing her. In the end, when he fought with Ye Tianren, he also uprooted Ye Wudao's entire family.
He also bought a piece of land for Sister Li.
Sister Li worked with other businessmen and developed this place into a food street, including her own restaurant.
Elder Sister Li had prepared a private room for Jiang Tian. Right now, she was living a very happy life and was very grateful to Jiang Tian.
Her son had grown up and was also a police officer, but he had already cultivated and was a Qi Refinement expert. He even specially rushed over to offer Jiang Tian a toast. This made Jiang Tian feel a faint sense of gratification, and he sighed ruefully.
Shen Le and his wife's son could already learn to walk, and he looked just like Shen Le. Although Shen Le's shares in many consortiums were almost all plundered when the monsters wreaked havoc on the earth, and he was now only a middle-level person, he was still very satisfied with everything in front of him.
This was a very happy family.
Being with these simple people, Jiang Tian felt that he had never been so calm since he was reborn. Memories came to his mind. These memories belonged to his previous life, when he hadn't been taken away by the Immortal Monarch and set foot in the Central Galaxy.
At that time, the stars in the sky were just theoretical stars in his eyes. They didn't know how prosperous the cultivation civilization was there and how deep and terrifying the sea of stars was.
In his previous life, Jiang Tian was like an ignorant child.
For the next few days, Shen Le and his wife accompanied Jiang Tian to play in Lin Zhou.
On this day, Tang Linglong received a call saying that Mr. Tang Guozhu was critically ill and was on his deathbed.
Jiang Tian, Tang Linglong, and their daughter went to visit the Tang family.
Tang Guozhu was already very old. Although he had taken a lot of elixirs over the years, it was still difficult to beat fate. He was already on the verge of death. Of course, with Jiang Tian's mana, he could still prolong his life if he forcefully used it. However, Tang Guozhu did not allow Jiang Tian to do so.
"My physical body has already decayed. Even if I forcefully extend it, I won't be able to last long. I'll have to trouble Teacher Jiang to do it again. Let's just leave it to fate! "
Tang Guozhu was very open-minded. He held Jiang Tian's hand and said softly.
Now, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had been established. Ye Tianren was in charge of the reincarnation of Yin souls. Those who had meritorious deeds, even if they died, had a chance to continue their consciousness. They could either enter the "Underworld" and become a ghost cultivator's messenger of death. Or they could be received by the messenger of death and be reincarnated.
Sure enough, Jiang Tian saw a ghost cultivator's messenger of death. He was already waiting in the ward. However, he was a ghost cultivator and his mana was not bad. If he wasn't a cultivator like Jiang Tian, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see him.
At the moment when Tang Guozhu's physical body died, the ghost cultivator's messenger of death used a magic tool to hook Tang Guozhu's soul. He came to a paper boat and carefully nourished it with the magic tool. Then, he sat on the paper boat and crossed the sky with him.
About ten minutes later, in the delivery room of Lin Zhou's First People's Hospital, there was a loud and clear cry of a baby.
The family immediately cheered. When the baby was carried out by the nurse, they all scrambled to surround him. This family was a rich family. Moreover, they had already embarked on the path of cultivation. In such a family, if it wasn't for the fact that the baby's fate was full of misfortune, he shouldn't have suffered too much.
The baby looked around curiously. Although his eyes were very pure, there was actually a trace of age in them. However, this age quickly passed away, and he once again became confused and ignorant.
"He's finally gone!"
Jiang Tian retracted his gaze and sighed softly.
Tang Guozhu was once a giant. He had made contributions in both the military and the martial arts world.
Ye Tianren and the messengers of death of the "Underworld" wanted to help him reincarnate. They used their mana to nourish him and deliberately protect the memories of his previous life. However, they still didn't succeed. At least, they didn't succeed completely.
Jiang Tian rebuilt the Underworld and reconstructed the reincarnation cycle in order to use the experiences and memories of the deceased's previous life. However, this Six Paths of Reincarnation was, after all, man-made. There were still various loopholes and flaws. The success rate was less than one percent.
At this moment, there was only a very faint wisp of remnant soul in the baby's mind. Furthermore, as his memories grew, his past memories might very well be completely suppressed and vanish into thin air.
"Ah, what is life and what is death?"
Hearing the sorrowful cries of the Tang family, recalling Tang Guozhu's life, and hearing the joyous chatter of the newborn family, full of anticipation for the baby's future, Jiang Tian sighed softly.
Was the baby now another Tang Guozhu?
"I think it's unfair to that child!"
The strange man revealed a disdainful expression and snorted coldly.
"He was originally a brand-new life. Why did you forcibly inject the memories of an old man into him? Fortunately, although he is a branch, when the old tree dies in the future, he will be a new tree! Kang Tae-chu, you are not a mighty figure, but you want to imitate the actions of a mighty figure. You want to manipulate the fate of others and use their lives as chess pieces. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? "
"What is life? What is death? "
Jiang Tian sighed again, as if comprehending.
"It's very simple."
The eccentric scratched his dirty scalp. Suddenly, he pointed at a puddle under his feet and said,
"It's raining heavily today. The rainwater is life, but when it enters this puddle, it becomes stagnant water! But is the water really dead? It will turn into clouds and become rain again in the future! This cycle repeats! But you can't say that the rain in the future is today's rain! "
Lightning once again lit up in Jiang Tian's heart when he heard the words of the 'Vanishing Self' eccentric. Moreover, this lightning was even brighter and longer lasting than before. Clusters of fog regarding the comprehension of life and death were completely illuminated. Jiang Tian's heart suddenly became bright.
At this moment, he had almost succeeded in becoming a mortal. His understanding of the mortal world and the Great Dao of Life and Death had reached a very deep level. It could be said that if he wanted to enter the Soul Formation realm, the success rate would be at least 50%.
However, he still didn't stop comprehending. Instead, he continued to experience the mortal world and the Great Dao. Holding his daughter's hand, he strolled in Lin Zhou with the eccentric, enjoying the rare peace without any impatience.
The strange man who suddenly disappeared pointed at a huge strange tree and said, "That's right.
"Jiang Tian, look at that tree!"
"What is a leaf? What is a branch? What is a stem? What is a root? Is that a tree or a forest? "
That tree was a very common banyan tree in the Lingnan area. It was originally very old, and with the nourishment after the recovery of Spiritual Qi, it had grown especially large. There were countless branches on the branches, and many of the roots hung down to the ground and sank into the soil.
Jiang Tian saw that the real trunk of the tree had been riddled with holes by lightning, sun, and insects. There was not much vitality.
However, the new roots were vigorous and full of vitality. Some of them had even torn off the roots and vines of the old tree and formed new independent trees.
"Yes. What is a leaf? What is a branch? What is a stem? What is a root? Is this a tree or a forest? "
Jiang Tian sighed. His eyes were shining.
For the next few days, Jiang Tian and the eccentric sat under the tree to comprehend. They didn't meditate but stood and sat casually. It was very relaxing.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The heavy rain poured down. Jiang Tian and the eccentric were drenched, but they still stayed under the big banyan tree, unwilling to leave.
"I have an answer!"
"Whether it is the Ship of Theseus, the cycle of life and death, or the primary and secondary branches, I have my own answer. Whether it is right or wrong, I have an answer! "
A few days later, Jiang Tian seemed to have understood something. His eyes were filled with joy, and he felt that his soul was much clearer. He got up, shook off the leaves on his body, chuckled, and walked into the distance.
