After Zhang Chu woke up, he immediately questioned this old monk.
At this moment, Zhang Chu already knew that the second weirdness had completely descended.
Although it was said that with the existence of the Third Grade Ghost Suppressor Talisman in the Great Land of China, this Second Strange Descent should not have too much of an impact on the Great Land of China in most cases.
However, the problem was that Zhang Chu clearly knew that apart from the second level of weirdness, there were still quite a few “big fishes” that had mixed into this world.
Therefore, there would definitely be a lot of strange things happening during this weirdness.
The old monk smiled as he sat down opposite Zhang Chu, and faintly said, “Why did you say that? How have I harmed the施主?”
Zhang Chu angrily said, “That parchment scroll, you should know what it does!”
“Knowing or not knowing, it is all a matter of destiny, from the time the 施主 stepped onto this mountain, destiny, it came, it cannot be resisted, it cannot be refused.”The old monk’s tone was slow, as if he had seen through heavenly chances.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, said angrily, “I don’t know fate as well as you do?”
The old monk then laughed: “What the monk participates in, is the variables, which can tend to good fortune and avoid disaster, and can find a way to favor oneself in an uncertain future.”
“What the old monk participates in, is the number of destiny, is irresistible, unchangeable great number.”
“When the Shi Shi master comes, the second eerie descent, it is natural to come, this is the art of the Great Destiny.”
Zhang Chu’s face darkened: “You less f*cking fool me, what big number small number, you fool people who don’t understand can, in front of me, less f*cking play this.”
The old monk said indifferently, “Amitabha Buddha, no matter what, things have happened, and then think about the reason is no longer meaningful, why don’t you look forward.”
“Look ahead huh? What if I want to strangle you to death right now?”Zhang Chu asked.
In reality, this second bizarre descent, descending a little earlier and a little later, was not of any substantial significance to Zhang Chu.
However, Zhang Chu disliked this feeling of being out of his control.
If this old monk placed the sheepskin scroll in front of Zhang Chu and asked Zhang Chu if he wanted to absorb this thing, or if he directly gave this thing to Zhang Chu, letting Zhang Chu decide on his own.
Or even, if you made a greeting, discussed with Zhang Chu slightly, and told Zhang Chu, let’s let the Second Eerie Descent come, Zhang Chu could accept it.
However, this old monk was too hateful, reciting a scripture, directly allowing the sheepskin scroll to find Zhang Chu, causing Zhang Chu to be very passive, as if he was being forced.
The old monk then laughed, “Amitabha Buddha, surely the master doesn’t want to strangle me, but it’s just a matter of letting the sheepskin scroll return to its rightful place, it’s destiny.”
“Alright, don’t be fatalistic either.”Zhang Chu said.
But thinking about it carefully, this matter, it was really a bit of a coincidence, in the underworld, it was as if there was a hand that led Zhang Chu to this place.
From the beginning of the Linghu siblings were left in the underground world, then met Chi Jin, and finally and inexplicably met this old monk, alone against which a little error, Zhang Chu could not come here.
Soon, Zhang Chu calmed down, he asked the old monk, “Master knew I was coming?”
“When the time comes, nature will come.”The old monk said.
Zhang Chu pondered for a while, feeling that it was indeed pointless to dwell on this anymore.
However, Zhang Chu still said, “But I’m afraid that triggering the second Eerie Descent rashly will give this world no small shock.”
“No matter when the bizarre descent is allowed to occur, it will cause no small shock to this world.”The old monk said.
Zhang Chu was slightly stunned.
The old monk then continued, “Sooner or later, this world of ours will have to enter that world, and there are thirteen times for the bizarre descents, and these thirteen times for the bizarre descents are a stepping stone that guides us step by step into it.”
“Without these thirteen steps, when the time comes, we will enter that bizarre world all the same, and when the time comes, it will be a violent entry.”
“Therefore, the bizarre descent is predestined, the time is there, and the steps are in the hands of the cultivator.”
“If the cultivator slows down the progress of the bizarre descent, or even stops the bizarre descent, and allows the entire world to intrude into that world unguarded, what does the cultivator think, will happen?”
Zhang Chu’s heart stirred, a question that he hadn’t thought much about before.
On the other hand, the old monk said indifferently, “In the future, the impact will be even more drastic, once the Shi Master encounters the sheepskin scroll, he can just absorb it directly, if he keeps suppressing it, I’m afraid that by the end, the buffer time would not be enough.”
Zhang Chu was slightly silent for a moment before he said, “Alright, got it.”
At this moment, Zhang Chu shook his head and opened his mouth to ask, “What happened to that child in the middle of the fall?”
“That is a very good child.”The old monk said.
Zhang Chu’s face darkened, “Don’t beat a dead horse!”
The old monk, on the other hand, said indifferently, “This child, indeed, has some early wisdom, but it is not a good thing to have wisdom emerge too early, so I have sealed his wisdom for the time being.”
“When I die one day, this child, naturally, will have his wisdom emerge, but not yet, he still needs to cultivate in the mountains.”
Zhang Chu thought about it, in fact, he and the old monk, did not have much in common.
The old monk believed in Buddhism and spoke Zen.
But Zhang Chu believed in the Dao and spoke of ease and change.
Moreover, that child, even if Zhang Chu inquired more, it was useless, he could not build a hope elementary school for that child out in the mountains.
Thus, Zhang Chu asked one last question, “Master, what is your relationship with the Eight Great Xuan Clans?”
The old monk slowly sighed, “I do not have any dealings with those people, however, I do support some of their philosophies.”
“Ideas?”Zhang Chu looked at the old monk.
At this moment, the old monk said, “The goal of the Eight Xuan Clans is clear, no matter how the future changes, people, always have to become the master of this world, as for how the process works, the old line does not go into consideration.”
Zhang Chu thought about it, and eventually, he got up and left.
Night Diem, Bai Diem, Yao Xiao Demon as well as Hot Pot followed Zhang Chu, and together they descended the mountain.
While walking, Zhang Chu’s few people chatted, and at this time, Zhang Chu asked, “How is Chi Nian Ling doing?”
Night Diem replied, “Much better, she didn’t return to her home for the time being, instead choosing to stay at a hotel.”
Zhang Chu nodded, “This time, it was originally for the Chi family, so let’s meet again.”
“Chi Yusheng said a long time ago, once you wake up, tell him that he wants to invite us for dinner again.”
In the evening, inside a hotel’s private room, Zhang Chu’s several people, Chi Jin’s family, including Chi Nianling and Chi Yusheng’s couple, all sat around.
Today’s Chi Nianling, compared to before, her temperament had changed drastically, she looked confident and sunny, and she was also very enthusiastic.
At this moment, Chi Nianling directly poured a glass of wine for Zhang Chu, “Master Zhang, thank you very much, if it wasn’t for you, I would probably still be gloomy now, as if I were living in a big dream.”
Zhang Chu on the other hand laughed, “These things, were originally what I should have done.”
Night Diem, on the other hand, asked curiously, “Nianling, can you tell us what you really think, and how, all of a sudden, you got better?”
At this time, Chi Nian Ling thought for a moment, and then said, “It is that I suddenly realized that life is magical.”
“I remember, when I just picked up that child, he was so small, as if he were a newborn kitten, as if he would leave at any moment.”
“But that day, when I went up the mountain, I saw that child, and I couldn’t have imagined that he was already so big.”
“And, he kowtowed to me, you know, it was an amazing feeling.”
“Although he didn’t know that I had once saved him, but, seeing that child with my own eyes, growing so big, and being so well-behaved, my mood, all of a sudden, was different.”
“I just felt that a lot of the thoughts I had before, were ridiculous, so I instantly came out from within those emotions.”
