After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 120 Meeting with the Ancestral Gu

Numb.

Indeed, it's no use for the weak to complain about their environment.

Because the environment does not change according to your will.

but......

I saw that the monster's upper body was gradually shriveling up and had a head.

There's a patch on my head, a patch! A very, very, very suitable "stick".

Hehe, she smiled crookedly, like a dragon king.

But then I felt a little nauseous.

But, but...

After hesitating for a split second, Baili Ce took out the water bottle from his bag and gulped down the water.

Then, discarding the stopper, he stretched out his hand, used the kettle to trap a poisonous stinger, and snapped it open with a "snap..."

So easy?! I'm delighted!

And just as she expected, the stinger head was relatively large and hollow.

Stay calm and don't panic, then try the second one, the third one...

Finally, the spout of the kettle was completely stuffed full, and then a stinger was placed over the stinger.

Similar to placing a pointed hat on top of another pointed hat, by selecting poisonous stingers of different sizes and piecing them together, a sufficiently long "stick" is created.

Use it to draw shallow trenches in the loose soil, just like the water-drawing game we all played as kids, to guide the remaining putrid liquid towards the burrow entrance...

Then I climbed up to a very stable boulder and sat down, quietly waiting for the hissing sound to stop.

During this time, many rocks rolled into the cave due to the imbalance of gravity, but thanks to the resistance of the boulders, no new injuries were caused...

As the rolling stones interlocked and formed a stable "road," the putrefactive liquid was almost completely depleted.

After waiting for about half an hour,

Bai Li Ce used the straps of his pack as lassos to secure himself to the protruding parts of the rocks, using this as leverage to slowly climb up...

It hurts! It still hurts!

But hope was at hand, and his body instantly surged with strength as he slowly crawled towards the wide-open hole...

Baili Ce was exhausted when he climbed out of the cave; he didn't even have the strength to shout.

She deserved it. Her brother, aunt, grandparents and other relatives weren't home. Who could have saved her?

If only I had known—

"Woof! Woof woof woof..."

A dog barked.

The next instant, I felt patches of warm, wet sweat on my face.

Before she fainted, she saw her two male dogs whimpering and circling around her...

......

"Bai Li Ce"

Upon hearing the familiar Wei dialect, Baili Ce only wanted to play dead.

But that didn't work.

Because the person who spoke arrived beside her in no time, saying, "You should go now."

go?

Where are we going?

Unable to resist opening his eyes, “…”

There was nothing in front of me!

“You! You…”

Looking around, I realized I was dreaming. "Who are you? How did you get into my dream?"

"Didn't you invite me here?"

"..." Hearing the voice, Baili Ce was stunned.

The voice sounded unusually relaxed. "Haven't you been looking for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white light appeared out of thin air.

"Who are you?" My mind went blank for a moment.

“Zu Gu, or as the Xianbei people say, you can also call me ‘God’.”

"Does...do gods really exist in this world?" Bai Li Ce asked blankly, seeing "gods" for the first time.

"If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't exist."

"Then why are you here?"

“I heard your prayer and was moved by your devotion, so I came.”

No, that sounds like a scam.

But why are you?

"A ball of light?"

"Because there is light in your heart."

She was stunned; this was beyond her comprehension.

How is this any different from saying, "I see you have extraordinary talent and want to pass on my unparalleled martial arts skills to you"?

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Zu Gu said again, "I am not the god you believe in according to worldly concepts."

Seriously speaking, Baili Ce believed in the existence of gods.

But she felt that it was just another race that had not been proven by humans, like black people, white people, and yellow people.

It's just that everyone has different cultural traditions, skin color, and language system.

Or, in the language of her time, God was a higher civilization.

But since He speaks in such a profound and unfathomable way, it's definitely not appropriate to ask Him questions like "What exactly are you?"

Then...

Let Him define Himself!

"So what do you think you are?"

The white light in front of me paused slightly, as if in thought, "Born to restrain all abnormal existences."

"Abnormal?"

"Wang Qingyan is one, heavens."

"Wait a minute," Bai Li Ce quickly stretched out a hand to stop Him, "answer a few questions for me first."

"Ok?"

"You know the monster I encountered?"

"Yes, but please forgive me, I cannot directly kill any living beings, so I cannot help you."

He waved his hand dismissively, "Oh, it's nothing~"

She wanted to ask first, "So, if I'm hallucinating, the dreams I have aren't real, right?"

"it is true"

"..." Bai Li Ce was completely distraught, and even had the urge to hang himself right now.

You should know that the dream from a third-person perspective was so terrifying that she developed post-traumatic stress disorder regarding Wang Qingyan.

I initially thought it was fake, but now...

Looking at Bai Guang, she asked hopefully, "Now that you're here, can I just hang him up and beat him up?"

The white light swayed from side to side, as if someone were shaking their head, saying, "I can only provide guidance; how far you can go is entirely up to you."

"Then what's the point of me looking for you for so long?!"

Bai Li Ce couldn't accept that the dignified Ancestral Gu was so incompetent.

At least give her some amazing, extraordinary, and earth-shattering abilities!

Undeterred, she asked, "Then you don't have any extraordinary talents or abilities?"

"Have"

Call ~

Upon hearing the word "have," Baili Ce felt much better instantly.

Then Zu Gu said, "But how much you can utilize it depends mainly on you."

"..." Really, but there was really no need to say what came after that.

"Although I was born to restrain the abnormalities of the world, I still need to exert my influence through the ordinary things in the world."

“I am now very weak. If you don’t come to find me, I will not dare to leave this Xianbei Mountain.”

"Why not?"

"Afraid of encountering the Way of Heaven, it is another anomaly in this world."

Baili Ce was starting to get confused. "Isn't the Way of Heaven supposed to be without desires, without sorrow or joy, and simply maintain the laws governing the operation of all things in the universe?"

"Who told you that the Way of Heaven is necessarily without desires or wants?"

Bai Li Ce was speechless for a moment.

"If I were truly without desires or wants, how could I exist?"

“But…” Baili Ce still didn’t quite understand. “The Taoists say, ‘The Way of Heaven is natural.’”

Is what you perceive as nature truly nature?

"If it were truly natural, how could you, a soul from another world, have come here?"

How could she possibly understand such profound philosophical questions?

So he quickly asked the next question, "Why does the way of Heaven behave abnormally?"

She guessed that the abnormalities in the natural order likely only appeared later.

After the question was asked, the white light remained silent for a long time...

When Baili Ce became suspicious, He said, "You are right about one thing."

"All things cycle and repeat themselves, following their own laws, so there is no need for the existence of the so-called Heavenly Way."

“But once there are too many people who do not need the Way of Heaven, He will be forgotten, like me, and will continue to weaken until He perishes.”

Bai Li Ce got excited when he heard that!

He immediately straightened his back, imagining himself as a great hero fighting against the will of Heaven, thinking, "Then why don't I just stand on my own two feet and not believe in the will of Heaven?"

"Create demand where there is none."

I understand, I understand, it's a common tactic of capitalists.

But there was one thing she didn't understand: "If what Heaven wants is faith in the world, wouldn't it be better to just perform more miracles and let everyone have enough to eat and wear?"

Bai Guang sighed, "If only it were that simple."

"What has Heaven done?" Baili Ce thought for a moment and asked with a serious expression.

"The same act of charity—how can someone who hasn't experienced much hardship feel as grateful to the giver as someone who has suffered greatly?"

Bai Li Ce frowned slightly... He suddenly felt frustrated and uncomfortable.

Such "charity" is essentially about draining your value, leaving you heavily indebted, and yet expecting you to be grateful.

They don't treat people like human beings at all.
