Fulu Rubik's Cube

Chapter 829 Reason (Thank you for the reward from Sword Immortal World)
The pearl hangs from the top, and the inside of the cave is as bright as day.

Red Silkworm and the others listened in trembling as Zhang Ke explained the entanglement between the 'Heavenly Demon' and the practitioner bit by bit.

Naturally, it also includes the matter of 'Li Banner' and the three 'war contracts'.

After Zhang Ke finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the cave.

After a long time, the red silkworm said bitterly:

"The layman means that in the next 400 years, there will be countless creatures in this 'mountain and sea world' controlled by practitioners and 'heavenly demons' to kill each other, and the purpose is just for a bet?"

Red Silkworm's words didn't convey the meaning, but Zhang Ke didn't intend to correct her, so he nodded slightly.

"Well, so to speak."

Shi Xiong stood up with a 'huh', and shouted with resentment:
"Why?"

Zhang Ke swept his eyes over the faces of the other people, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone:

"Look!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the ground.

The red silkworm and the others looked at the ground in the direction of Zhang Ke's finger. Except for some ants crawling around on the ground, there was nothing else.

Shan Qiao asked suspiciously:
"Layman, what are you looking at?"

"See the ant hole?"

"I see!"

"Put some water in that ant's hole!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Zhang Ke's order, Shan Qiao was the first to pour some water into the ant hole from the stone pot beside him.

As the ant hole continued to emit bubbles, some ants floated out of the hole in the sound of 'gurgling'.

Looking at the bewildered expressions of several people, Zhang Ke said softly:

"Have you ever wondered how the ants feel when you're watering an ant hole?"

'Clang~! '

Hearing these words suddenly, Hong Can and the others were shocked, and they all suddenly understood the meaning of Zhang Ke's words.

Shan Qiao's hand seemed to be stung by a tiger-headed swallowtail bee, and the stone pot in his hand fell to the ground.

Red Silkworm forced a smile.

"I understand what the layman means, but we are human, how can we be like ants."

Zhang Ke glanced at her expressionlessly.

"In our eyes, there is no difference between the two."

The red silkworm and the others were silent, looking down at the numerous ants struggling and floating in the water in vain.

Each mood is very complicated, including shame, anger, fear, and despair.

They were three meters tall, and even though Zhang Ke sat on top of Wen Yu, he still didn't reach their chests.

But his short body was abnormally tall at this moment, and the few people who were pressed down like a mountain couldn't breathe.

After a long time, the red silkworm regained its calm and spoke.

"The layman should also be a member of the practitioners in this war, but why would you tell us this, and do this, wouldn't you?"

She didn't finish the sentence, but everyone could understand the meaning of the words.

Zhang Ke sighed slightly.

"Although the human race in this world is tall and looks different from the human race in the outside world, in the final analysis, we are all the same race.

I have no ability to stop and change all this, but it is still possible to tell the truth.

As for saying that you will feel dissatisfied or hate me because of this, that is your freedom. "

Shan Qiao silently chewed Zhang Ke's last sentence in his heart, especially the last two words.

'free! '

What is freedom?

What do these two words mean?
At this moment, a trace of doubt arose in the young Shan Qiao's heart. Apart from that, he was eager to stand higher and see this unknown world clearly.

Feng Li is slightly older than Shan Qiao by two years, has awakened three supernatural powers, and acts decisively and fairly.

As a woman, she is more valued by the red silkworm, and she is even vaguely trained to be the successor.

Fengli glanced at Hongcan, and saw that she was frowning and thinking about what Zhang Ke said.

Turning his head and looking down at Zhang Ke from a high position, he asked:

"Layman, listen to what you just said, because you are bound by the three 'war contracts', you can't harm the creatures in this world, right?"

Zhang Ke nodded.

"Hmm! If it weren't for that, I could destroy the tiger-head swallowtail bee swarm with just one hand, so there's no need to guide you to form an formation to eliminate the bee swarm."

Three months ago, during the three days when Zhang Ke stayed in the Xiawan tribe, Zhang Ke also took action to deal with the monsters and spirits that attacked the tribe.

No matter how powerful the monster was, Zhang Ke killed it lightly.

Therefore, Zhang Ke didn't kill the bee swarm before, but only used light spots to guide the Xiawan people to fight against the bee swarm independently, which made Red Silkworm and others feel strange.

Hearing Zhang Ke's explanation at this time, Hong Cang and the others finally understood what was going on.

Fengli was silent for a moment, looked at Zhang Ke and asked tentatively:

"Is that... Does it mean that we can also refuse you to join the tribe, after all, you can't take action against us."

"Hahaha~~!"

Zhang Ke couldn't help raising his head and laughing.

Red Silkworm and the others heard disdain and sarcasm from the laughter, all of them looked ugly, but they didn't dare to attack.

Stopping the laughter, Zhang Ke meaningfully said to the red silkworm:

"When signing the 'War Contract' with 'Tianmo', 'Tianmo' initially requested that the duration of this war be shortened to 100 years.

It is at my request that this war will be extended to 400 years, and in the first 200 years, the two sides shall not fight each other, so as to give the creatures in this world a chance to develop.

Do you think that without me, the Xiawan tribe can continue in such a cruel war? "

The red silkworm was breathing stagnantly, just about to speak, only to hear that Fengli had already opened the mouth and said:

"May I ask you layman, which one will cause more harm to the living beings in this world, a 100-year war or a 400-year war?
The reason why you make such a request is only to strengthen the practitioner's chances of winning.

After all, the so-called "Heavenly Demon" in your mouth has gained a great advantage 600 years before you came to this world, hasn't it? "

The corner of Zhang Ke's mouth curved into an arc, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"What you said is correct, I asked to extend the time limit of the war just to increase the chances of winning for practitioners.

And the 400-year war has far more casualties than the 100-year war.

Because in my opinion, if this war ends within 100 years, most practitioners will not be able to win this war.

But despite this, I will still ask for an extension of the time limit for the war. The fundamental reason is not only that we have our own selfish motives, but also because we want to prevent the 'demon' from gaining a foothold in this world. "

Fire Snake couldn't help but speak at this moment.

"Layman, why are you so afraid of 'Heavenly Demon'? What is 'Heavenly Demon', and what?"

She hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"When laymen came to us, Lang Hu once said that you are the 'heavenly demons' who are coming to destroy this world.

Which one of you is telling the truth? "

Red Silkworm and the others stared at Zhang Ke's face for an instant, trying to see what he was thinking from Zhang Ke's expression.

Zhang Ke thought about it and decided to explain some things.

"What Fire Snake said is right, the existence of the 'Heavenly Demon' was born to destroy the creatures in the world."

Red Silkworm and the others trembled, and twisted their bodies uncomfortably.

In fact, they had also discussed which side was the 'Heavenly Demon'. Because they had received help from Zhang Ke before, they believed that what Zhang Ke said was true.

But now after listening to Zhang Ke's narration, this idea has been shaken.

"If you want to know which side is the 'Heavenly Demon' between us and the other party, we have to start with the birth of the 'Heavenly Demon'."

Zhang Ke first said something briefly, and then continued:
"All creatures in the world have emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, greed, jealousy, fear, despair, anger, lust, hatred and other desires.

'Tianma' was born based on the negative emotions of living beings.

Because it is a kind of spiritual body born of emotions, so the 'Tianmao' has no real body, but just a thought, a thought.

The original "Tianmo" was naturally condensed and born because the obsession was too fierce. "

'Oh~~! '

Red Silkworm and the others responded slightly in their hearts, and understood the origin of the 'Heavenly Demon'.

I only heard Zhang Ke continue:
"Of all the creatures in the world, the human race has the most complicated minds and the most intense emotions.

Therefore, the 'Tianmo' likes the human race the most.

There is a saying called "Magic comes from the heart", that is to say, there are evil thoughts and desires in everyone's heart.

It's just that most of the time, we will restrain this desire and evil thoughts.

Since the "Heavenly Demon" is born with negative emotions, if it wants to survive and grow stronger, it must stir up and amplify the darkest and most selfish desire in the soul. "

Looking up and seeing an unnatural expression on the faces of Red Cane and others, Zhang Ke said with a smile:

"Everyone has desires and evil thoughts, not only you, but I also have them. This is contained in the human nature, so don't pay too much attention to it."

Shan Qiao is still young, and limited to the development of civilization in this world, he doesn't know much about many things.

Can't help but ask:
"Layman, do you mean that human nature is inherently evil?"

Zhang Ke shook his head and said:

"Human nature does not distinguish between good and evil, when a person is born into this world, his heart is as clear as water.

But when he grows up, he will naturally develop desires.

It is precisely because of desire that the human race is a unique existence in the universe. "

Seeing the perplexed look on the faces of Shan Yao and others, Zhang Ke simply extended this point.

"You should know something about the creatures outside, no matter what kind of animal, they basically only do two things in their life.

Eat and Mate! "

Speaking of this, Zhang Ke paused for a moment, and after Red Silkworm and the others thought about it, he continued:
"Looking at the human race, even if we are full, we will still plunder the outside world.

We want to eat better, to be warmer, to live more comfortably, and even if we have all of these, we want more.

For example, more and more beautiful partners, the respect and awe of others, the right to life and death, ambition and so on.

This is desire and it is endless. "

Red Silkworm and the others glanced at each other, and they suddenly discovered that everyone seemed to be wearing a mask on their faces, making it impossible to see each other clearly.

Zhang Ke then brought the topic back. Today, he didn't come to give science popularization to a few people.

"Okay, these things are worth a lifetime of energy to study, and now we're talking about 'Omen'."

After a short pause, Zhang Ke continued:
"Because they are good at playing with people's hearts and stirring up emotions, practitioners call them 'demons', and this group is also called 'demons'.

There are many kinds of 'demons', those derived from our own emotions are called 'heart demons', and the 'demons' that come from outside domains are called 'extraterritorial celestial demons', or 'celestial demons' for short. "

Red Silkworm and the others couldn't help but let out an 'oh'.

"For this title, 'Magic' does not approve.

They think that they control the thoughts of living beings, so that you can live and die, and if they anger them, they can make your life worse than death, just like a 'god'.

Therefore, they consider themselves to be the most outstanding race in the universe, and when introducing themselves to the outside world, they often call themselves the 'divine race'. "

'Hey~~! '

Red Silkworm and the others felt their hearts twitch.

Before the practitioners came to this world, Lang Hu flaunted his "divine" status more than once.

From this point of view, who is the 'Heavenly Demon' is already clearly revealed!

While they were thinking, the voice of Lay Ruyi still came from their ears.

"'Demons' are born from thoughts and have no entity, but if they are not nourished by negative emotions, they will slowly dissipate and perish on their own.

Therefore, the 'demon' will use its special ability to enter the spirit of the host and occupy the host. "

Red Silkworm and the others could not help but shudder.

They couldn't understand the "host body" or something, but they understood what Zhang Ke meant.

"At the same time, in order to strengthen itself, the 'demon' will continue to amplify the negative emotions of creatures through various terrible tortures, so as to nourish itself.

However, every living being has a limit, and the behavior of the 'demon' will not only destroy the consciousness of the living being, but also accelerate the disintegration of the host itself.

Therefore, when their host body collapses, they will replace other host bodies to occupy them.

That's why I say that "demon" is born to destroy the world's creatures. "

"Wow~!"

Red Silkworm and the others let out a sigh of relief, and finally understood what a 'demon' is.

But they would rather not know this at the moment, the 'magic' is really a little too scary.

Shi Xiong spoke for the first time today.

"Layman, isn't the 'demon' very powerful?"

Zhang Ke let out an 'hmm'.

"That's right!"

He guessed what Shixiong was thinking, and continued:

"'Magic' is extremely harmful to the living beings in the world, especially its special ability can easily occupy a person's body.

If it occupies an extremely powerful individual, it can not only display all the abilities of this individual, but also display all kinds of strange powers of its own.

However, there is no absolute thing in the world, and 'magic' also has nemesis in the universe.

They are believers who believe in a great existence. Not only will they not be possessed, but they also have special powers that can restrain 'demons'.

This great existence is called 'Nine Heavens Slaughtering Demon Tianzun', and its followers are also called 'Swinging Demon Disciples'.

Every 'disciple who swayes demons' will have a 'golden pattern of swaying demons' between his eyebrows, and the power to restrain 'demons' comes from here. "

Hearing Zhang Ke's words, Hong Can and the others couldn't help but look down at Zhang Ke's eyebrows.

Sure enough, there was a strange white-gold spirit pattern between Zhang Ke's eyebrows.

Zhang Ke reached out and touched his brow, and said with a smile:

"The sign of the 'Disciple of Slayer' is not like this. I came to this world to eliminate the 'disaster' this time, just to get rid of the cause and effect of being a 'Disciple of Slayer' in the past."

Red Silkworm and the others didn't understand this sentence very well, and Zhang Ke didn't want to explain it clearly, and continued:
"'Magic' has a terrible ability, that is dyeing.

If there is a person beside you who is possessed by a "demon", then when he constantly provokes and magnifies negative emotions, an aura will be formed.

Other living beings living in it will gradually be infected by negative emotions and gradually become another kind of "demon", which is called "heavenly demon family" by practitioners.

The greater the number of 'demons', the faster they can dye and transform creatures. "

Seeing that Red Silkworm and others could not fully understand the meaning of this sentence, Zhang Ke explained it from a different angle.

"For example, Red Silkworm, you are the patriarch of the Xiawan tribe. If one day you put on a straight face because you are in a bad mood, then other people in the tribe will become cautious after seeing it, for fear of offending you. aura.

Therefore, the objects possessed by the "demon" will generally choose the leader, and they will switch targets only when encountering individuals with special abilities or particularly powerful ones. "

In this way, Red Silkworm and others can easily understand.

"Because of the special power of 'devil', this race is repelled and attacked by all races in the universe.

Therefore, as long as there is a 'demon', it will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by other races, among which the human race is the most active.

Because the 'disciple of the devil' has a strong restraint on it, which is why we came to this world. "

Understood.

Red Silkworm and the others finally understood the connection between practitioners and the 'Heavenly Demon'.

Fengli analyzed Zhang Ke's words bit by bit in her mind, and she suddenly said:

"Thanks for the layman's explanation. Since the practitioners came to exterminate the 'Heavenly Demon', why didn't they take action directly, but set up the [Deed Banner], and use the help of the war between the creatures of this world to complete it?"

Zhang Ke was silent, and then said after a while:

"Fengli, how long is your lifespan?"

Fengli didn't understand what Zhang Ke meant, so he hesitated and replied:

"The longest-lived person in the family once lived for 220 years. If there is no disease or disaster, I should live for this long!"

Although the civilization level of the people in the 'Mountain Sea Realm' is very low, they also have their own counting methods.

Fengli is talented and intelligent, and he is also a rare person in the Xiawan tribe who has mastered the art of knotting.

At this moment, the '220 years' she replied to Zhang Ke said was to convert the counting method in the clan into a meaning that Zhang Ke could understand.

Zhang Ke gave an 'hmm' and asked:

"Do you know what my lifespan is?"

Before Fengli could guess, he stretched out three fingers and said:
"3000 years!"

"what--!"

Red Silkworm and the others couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

They couldn't imagine how long this number was, but they all understood the meaning contained in this number.

Zhang Kebai stared at Fengli with misty eyes and said:
"If you had the chance to live for 3000 years, what price would you be willing to pay?"

Fengli's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation:

"I'd give anything for what I have."

Zhang Ke looked at her with a half-smile and said:

"If you were asked to kill a man from another tribe, would you be willing?"

Fengli firmly said:

"I am willing!"

"And what if it was someone who asked you to kill a tribe?"

Fengli hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"I am willing!"

Zhang Ke didn't try again, he smiled and said:

"The realm of my practice is called Yuanshen realm, if I can continue to advance, I can achieve the realm of Daojun.

The lifespan of practitioners in this realm can reach [-] years.

The reason why we want to set up the [Deed Banner] in this world is because the result of this victory or defeat may improve the realm of some practitioners.

And to them, you are equivalent to other tribes in your mouth, and they don't care about your life or death.

Now you understand why you set up a [Deed Banner] in this world, right? "

Zhang Ke's words were a bit cruel, but they directly revealed the essence of the practitioner.

Red Silkworm and the others figured out everything they wanted to know, but their hearts were filled with despair.

After a while, Shan Qiao muttered:
"Master, what should we do?"
