After the ascension failed, I picked up the protagonist's golden finger

What happened to the elves back then is too long ago, and even the recorded history books are already rotten. If Lao Dan didn't say anything, no one would know that such a thing happened to the elves at that time.

Shen Shubai didn't even need to think about it, he knew that after his background was exposed, the situation of this child would definitely become more difficult.

Whether in the spirit world or the demon world, the status of the elves is low. The devil will not admit that his blood will be polluted by such an inferior race, and the elves regard this child as the source of disaster.

The child's prophecy ability was eventually known by everyone.

Everyone disdained his background, but everyone coveted his ability. This incident caused quite a storm of blood at that time.

In order not to implicate the race, the last thing he did was to actively sever ties with the elves, and then disappeared.

No one knows where he went, but after a hundred years, three prophecies came out.

Because these three prophecies were too outrageous, no one took them to heart at first, but as the first two prophecies came true in turn, everyone began to worry about the third prophecy.

Because this prophecy is closely related to everyone.

That is - the road will fall.

Cultivation depends on understanding the Dao, if the Dao is incomplete, then how can a monk talk about cultivation.

Just when everyone was anxious, a hundred years later, one person's ascension broke this prophecy, and the elves only realized the moment they were protected by the Dao. The person who ascended was the child at the beginning.

Because, only he has that talent.

When Lao Dan said this, there was a look of fear in his eyes, as if he had thought of something terrible.

Before Shen Shubai figured out why he had such an expression, Lao Dan's expression returned to normal, and he said flatly: "This asylum gave the elves who were almost extinct at that time a chance to survive, it can be said to be a timely rain , giving the elves a chance to continue their race."

After the child left, no one predicted the danger for them in advance, and with the suspicion of the world, the situation of the elves became more and more difficult.

Even almost genocide.

Old Dan closed his eyes.

His tone was flat as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, he turned his head, looked at Shen Shubai with light green pupils, and said, "You must be wondering why I said he doesn't believe in fate."

Shen Shubai was indeed curious.

Lao Dan looked at Shen Shubai, gently pinched the foot of a page, and then with a light force, the page fell off like that.

"Because his fate is to die young."

When he said this, his tone was light and light, and he still had that indescribable feeling. Shen Shubai felt a little strange, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Who is he, and how can he be so sure about the past.How could he know something that was not even recorded in the history books.

Also because of this reason, Shen Shubai didn't believe him, but Lao Dan's next words directly made Shen Shubai subvert his own thinking.

He looked at Shen Shubai and said, "You are not from this world, are you?"

These words shocked Shen Shubai's heart greatly, and at the same time, a strong fear welled up in his heart.

He looked at the old man in front of him very vigilantly, and said in a wary tone, "Who are you?"

Shen Shubai didn't understand many things, it doesn't mean he would let others fool him. At this moment, the voice calling him "Shen Ci" under the Wangshen Tree today suddenly rang in his ears again.

"Shen Ci, wake up."

"Open your eyes and wake up."

This voice was extremely soft, but it kept echoing in his ears like a curse, with an inexplicable bewitching meaning.

Shen Shubai ignored it directly, but the voice became more and more urgent, like a mosquito with the lights turned off in summer, making Shen Shubai still a little annoyed.

Who is playing tricks, who exactly?Why dare not come out.

Seeing Shen Shubai's strange expression, Lao Dan closed his eyes, as if he had sensed something, he stretched out his hand suddenly, stroked behind Shen Shubai's ear, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Shen Shubai looked up, and there was a dark red mass in Lao Dan's hand.

Seeing the demonic spirit constantly struggling in the palm of his hand, Lao Dan frowned, and asked, "Did you see something when you were looking at the sacred tree?"

"Yes."

Shen Shubai gave this answer without hesitation. The strangeness of looking at the tree in the morning, the enchantment, and the indifferent attitude of God, all these prove that the elves can't be ignorant of this, so it is said that this place is an unlucky place , can only show one thing, that is what they want to hide.

What exactly are they trying to hide?

Why is there such a terrifying evil spirit in Shenlai's body who is clearly a member of the elves.

Shen Shubai was not very curious about this at first, but Lao Dan's attitude still made Shen Shubai feel a little uncomfortable.

After Lao Dan heard his answer, he first sighed and said: "Then you know the strangeness of that child in Shenlai."

"Ah."

"Forget it, it's all come to this point."

He looked at Shen Shubai, and said with complicated eyes: "I know you still have a lot of questions to ask, but it's not the time to tell you yet."

What he thought before was that he could avoid some problems, but now it seems that he obviously can't fool the person in front of him, and Lao Dan's mood is a little complicated for a while.

When Lao Dan told about Shen Shubai's background, Shen Shubai believed the old man's words to seven percent.

Because, he can be sure that, apart from himself, no one else would know about this matter.

The skin between his wrists seemed to be hot again, as if reminding him of something, Lao Dan also suddenly grasped Shen Shubai's arm at this moment.

Shen Shubai didn't check for a while, but he was really caught by him. When he was about to break free, he caught a glimpse of a golden light erupting from the place where his skin was hot before, and the evil spirit in Lao Dan's hand was also under this golden light. ablation.

This scene made Shen Shubai forget to react.

"How is this going?"

The golden light only appeared for a moment, and then quickly disappeared under the skin.

There was a clear look in Lao Dan's eyes, as if he had expected such a situation a long time ago, but his answer was very formulaic: "The secret must not be revealed."

Shen Shubai didn't know how to leave. After saying that sentence, no matter how Shen Shubai asked, Lao Dan seemed unwilling to say more, so Shen Shubai had no choice but to leave.

What he meant was obvious, if Shen Shubai couldn't catch the big monster of the elves, he would never reveal half of some things.

It's just a beautiful name called exchange.

With his resolute attitude, Shen Shubai stopped being entangled in these matters, and changed his goal, which was to catch the big monster of the elves as soon as possible. For this reason, he asked Lao Dan a lot of questions.

In this matter, the two have the same goal, as long as Lao Dan knows, they will know everything and say everything.

So Shen Shubai quickly noticed a place.

That is the ancestral land of the elves.

According to Lao Dan, the first big monster to appear in the elves came out of the ancestral land.

From this point, it can be seen that all the current clues are pointing there. Whether it is the evil monster or the mysterious big monster that always appears inexplicably, it must be inseparable from this ancestral land.

After coming out of Lao Dan's place, Shen Shubai wandered around the street, which was a way for him to organize his thoughts.

All the clues he knew came from Lao Dan and the intelligence he had heard on the street these days, regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to figure out a logic first, and soon, Shen Shubai decided to figure out one thing first.

That is--

The law of the big monster's chaos.

What is his purpose?Is there a rule for the object of his misfortune?And, the time when he made trouble.

This is obviously a very important matter, but Lao Dan's answer was very vague, except for some well-known cases, he couldn't tell the slightest rule.

As if he didn't know, in the end he directly took out the almanac of the elves and asked Shen Shubai to read it by himself.

In comparison, every time a big monster makes trouble in the past, the records on the calendar will be interrupted directly.

"In the year of the apocalypse, there will be chaos and chaos."

"Yaoyue year, every demon disaster."

……

The format of the record is also surprisingly similar, with a single sentence, so what exactly these "monster disasters" refer to, the records in the almanac are very thin.

Shen Shubai was not without suspicion, but Lao Dan's expression did not seem to be fake.

As for whether it is true or not, it can only be investigated by yourself.

Shen Shubai did what he said. He first found the families that were troubled by the disaster of the big monster, and visited them one by one.

It should be the reason why he stood at Lao Dan's door for a day before, but this time he didn't run into a wall again, and the questioning process went smoothly unexpectedly.

Then Shen Shubai was in trouble, because according to what these people said, the behavior of this big monster really seemed to be on the spur of the moment, without any rules at all.

For example, the old Liu's family in Dongfang Alley lost their son without warning.

As for the old Sun's family, which is just two walls away from him, their cultivation base has been abolished. This family has been kind to others for generations and is known as a good person. There can be no enemies.

However, a family in the west of the town committed suicide directly. One by one, there is no way to connect them. It is like a chessboard that has been disrupted by hands. What Shen Shubai has to do is to get rid of the chaotic situation. Judging the number of ways of the original Reversi in the black and white pieces.

This is simply impossible.

Or rather, difficult.

That can only prove that the direction of this investigation is wrong.

He can only be sure of one thing, that is, there is no connection between these things, and some key clues must be missing, which makes it impossible to connect these things together.

"Something happened to the ancestral land."

I don't know who yelled, Shen Shubai was forced to interrupt his thoughts by the masculinity, but at the same time, a very sudden thought flashed through his mind.

Sacrifice?

This idea came out of nowhere, Shen Shubai didn't know why, but felt that he had grasped a very important point.

He immediately bowed to the person he just disturbed, and asked very politely: "May I ask what happened?"

"I don't know, something happened to the ancestral land."

The man's tone was indifferent, Shen Shubai thought his attitude was strange, and the next second he heard the man say to Shen Shubai: "Do you want to go and see?"

"I don't know what to spit out again this time."

The man's eyes were full of interest, and his expression was very strange. When a normal person hears something happened in his ancestral land, the first reaction should be shock or anger, but the man has neither of these emotions.

It's like not worrying at all.

Even with a faint expectation.

A terrible conjecture emerged in Shen Shubai's heart. The man was already greeting Shen Shubai, but Shen Shubai finally chose to follow.

The guess is—

The two people who went to the ancestral land that I met today must have had an accident.

This man is so relaxed, it is obvious that he has enough trust in Zudi.

Ancestral land, what is hiding?

Shen Shubai's heart was a little heavy. One must know how terrifying this ancestral land was, since both of them were at the Nascent Soul stage.

He didn't dare to think deeply, and could only comfort himself that maybe he was just discovered.

One's cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage cannot even be incapable of self-protection, right?

But soon, Shen Shubai discovered that he was still naive.

He followed the man to the center of the town.

There is a very large sacrificial altar here, and the sacrifices of the elves are held here on weekdays. When there are no sacrifices on weekdays, the sense of existence here is very low, and it is not even noticed. At this time, outside , but surrounded by densely packed people.

And on the high platform, there are two blood clots that can no longer be seen in human form.

And the people below gathered together and looked at the hanging corpse without any surprises.

There was even a faint sense of disappointment.

Seeing this scene, the man also sighed, maybe he still cared about Shen Shubai's presence, so his expression was very natural.

He even took Shen Shubai away very considerately, and after sitting down in a teahouse, he said to Shen Shubai: "These two people are also to blame, and went to a place they shouldn't be."

Shen Shubai heard a bit of disgust from his tone, and soon, the tea called by the man came, he got up and poured a cup for Shen Shubai, and then said: "There will be a sacrifice for them tonight, you have to come and see ?"

Will it be such a coincidence?

Someone just died here, and a sacrifice will be held at night.

The man took a sip of tea, and seemed to have seen the inquiry in Shen Shubai's eyes. If it was an ordinary person, he would not bother to explain, but he saw Shen Shubai's face was kind, so he said a few more words.

"You also know that our family can avoid karma, right?"

"This person happened in our ancestral land. We must use this method to end the cause and effect. Can you understand?"

Don't be too blunt, Shen Shubai can understand it naturally.

Holding sacrifices is just a means to settle karma.

"How will that person arrange it?"

That person didn't expect Shen Shubai to ask this question, his eyes were still a little surprised, most people's reaction at this time should be to wonder how they avoid cause and effect, but what Shen Shubai cares about is how those two people will be arranged in the end?

It's a harmless question, so it doesn't hurt to answer it.

"Of course, send them to the land of the cause."

His expression was very reserved, but Shen Shubai could hear what he meant right away.

That means being buried in the ancestral land.

It is not unreasonable to say that, where the karma is formed, it will end there.

But Shen Shubai felt an indescribable weirdness.

Of course, he couldn't say anything weird for the time being, so he could only temporarily suppress his doubts.

The night is coming soon, and the sacrificial activities have already begun.

There were only a lot of people on the street, many of them came to join in the fun and some held ceremonies, and the corpses that had been hanging there before had been properly placed on the altar.

Shen Shubai thought that he could find some clues from this sacrificial activity, but to his surprise, this was really a very traditional funeral, at least Shen Shubai didn't find anything unusual.

This made Shen Shubai slightly relieved.

Subconsciously, he felt that even though the two of them were wrong, they had already paid the price with their lives, just as the man said, it would be good to end the cause and effect.

Since there were no clues, Shen Shubai walked to the inn, and many people were discussing the sacrifice just now.

Someone approached Shen Shubai and inquired, "Fellow Daoist is also here for that, right?"

Which?

Shen Shubai kept his distance from the man calmly, and hummed.

He didn't even know what that thing was, so he agreed only for the convenience of cliché.

After the man listened, the smile on his face became even brighter. After looking around very cautiously, he whispered: "This is not a place to talk, why don't we have a good conversation in another place."

He seemed to be sure that Shen Shubai knew something, with a respectful face on his face, but the movement of swallowing his saliva from time to time still made Shen Shubai notice something strange.

Well, it was not a good idea, this was simply a clue to the door, Shen Shubai raised his eyebrows, naturally he would not refuse.

The author has something to say:

Here you go, you can guess the identity of this kid~
