Monster Catching Daddy

Chapter 570 Starlight in Hometown (Second Change)
"That's right, what will happen to those who are not awakened among the newborns every year?"

The old man who forgot to count replied in a low voice.

Shen Chong thought for a moment, "But among the same clan of monsters, don't there also be birds and beasts that cannot be awakened?"

The old man Wangshu asked back: "Then you think it's okay to treat a human as a beast?"

Shen Chong shook his head.

The old man Wangshu grinned, "It doesn't matter if you say I'm selfish or hypocritical. I admit that I can't treat people equally, but in fact, who in this world can be selfish? It’s not exempt from the depths. It’s not important what I think in my heart, what’s important is how I do it? Shen Chong, what do you think of monsters? How do you treat psychics who do evil?”

Shen Chong thought for a while, "Fair and just."

"Forget it, your tone still sounds a little disapproving. But merits and demerits, good and evil, don't need to be judged by future generations. When I die, everything will come to nothing, as long as I don't leave any regrets in my heart."

Seeing his lonely look, Shen Chong felt that this senior was very tired.

Just like the name of the demon-killing organization he founded, he wants to be fair, but he can't achieve a complete balance in his heart.

He not only hopes that all living beings are equal, but also thinks that ordinary beings with only spirits and no intelligence cannot be compared with human beings who are born with wisdom.

He himself knows that this is contradictory, but in his long life, he can only restrain himself and try his best to do everything the best.

Shen Chong probably understood the feelings of the old man Wangshu, he asked himself that he really couldn't be so great.

Knowing that you don't like it and doing it for the rest of your life, it's much harder than sticking to a belief and doing it for a lifetime.

"Shen Chong..."

The old man Wangshu's voice was getting softer and weaker, and he was quite angry.

Fortunately, Shen Chong's hearing is strong now, "I'm listening."

"Listen, I can walk away. You can't be calm when you wait. In the future, there will be turmoil in this world, and you must participate in it so that you can take care of yourself."

Shen Chong always felt that there was something in his words, even though he was his apprentice's son-in-law, he really didn't have much contact with him, and he didn't have to explain so much to himself before he died.

Previously, he thought that his last words were some important secrets to be explained to the ministry, but after chatting for a long time, he was full of emotions about his life and always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, the old man who had been lying on his back suddenly stood up.

Earlier, he kept saying that Shen Chong couldn't touch him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Chong wanted to retreat, but found that he couldn't move.

"What do you mean, senior?"

Shen Chong asked.

"It's nothing interesting. I want to make another calculation for you and Zhishu while I have my last breath. This breath can't be wasted."

The old man Wangshu's figure gradually floated into the air, a tortoise shell flew out from his sleeve, and suddenly it turned into a ten-foot-large phantom in the sky.

Shen Chong shouted loudly, "Forget it! Don't be like this, senior, I'm not superstitious!"

"It's fine if you don't believe me!"

The old man Wangshu didn't talk nonsense with him at all, and started working on the spot. The phantom of the tortoise shell enveloped Shen Chong, enveloping Shen Chong in it.

At first, Shen Chong had the illusion of falling into the bottom of the water, but his breathing was still smooth, and he couldn't help but follow the flying general up.

Accompanied by a loud humming sound in the air, the old man Wangshu's whole body was filled with orange light like a heartbeat, and the tortoise shell changed according to the same frequency.

After a long time, there was a crackling sound from the tortoise shell, and the tortoise shell, which had been broken to seven or eight points, finally exploded with a bang.

Shen Chong and the tortoise shells that shattered into dots and quickly dissipated in mid-air fell to the ground in unison.

He stood firm on the spot, but the tortoise shell fragments disappeared in mid-air.

Shen Chong hadn't had time to question the other party, but the old man Wangshu had already looked at him with horror on his face, "You come and go nowhere, who are you!"

Shen Chong remained silent, only fully alert.

He knew that his biggest secret might be seen through by the old man.

He thought that the old man who forgot to count would make more moves, but he never thought that the old man would slowly lean back against the crooked neck tree after a while.

"Forget it, it's not good for you or me if you tell me, it's fine if you don't."

Shen Chong's trust in the old man Wangshu dropped to the extreme, and he felt that it was wrong to say too much, so he simply didn't say a word.

It's okay for him to leave without turning around.

But the old man who forgot the number finally found a hole in his heart.

"Shen Chong, guess what I saw on you just now?"

"Do not want to know."

"If you don't come, Zhishu will die. But if you have arrived, whether she will die or not depends entirely on you."

"You don't need to tell me, senior, I know it myself."

"It's up to you."

Shen Chong cupped his hands and turned to leave, "Thank you."

"Wait! I have one last question!"

The forgetful old man tried to stop him from behind.

Shen Chong didn't turn his head back, but there was a sound of strong wind from behind, he raised his right hand, and just caught a piece of paper with his fingertips.

This piece of paper is the distribution of the Big Dipper.

The pattern was drawn by the old man Wangshu himself, and he even connected the seven stars with lines, which is exactly the spoon shape of the Big Dipper.

Shen Chong's footsteps stopped, and the old man's mournful voice came from behind him, "I've carried this picture on my back for 25 years. I study it every day but get nothing. Can you explain it to me?"

Shen Chong turned around, "These are the seven stars of the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji... Yaoguang."

The old man's tone suddenly became extremely urgent, "What... what does this mean? Astrology?"

Shen Chong nodded, "Not bad."

"But there are no seven stars in the sky this week!"

Forget about the old man's dissatisfaction.

Shen Chong nodded, looked up at the starry sky, and said sadly: "That's right, it's not."

Now that he has been seen through, he can also feel that the old man Wangshu is really going to die, Shen Chong finally made up his mind to fulfill the old man's last wish and tell him something.

Shen Chong took a deep breath, "You can't see it because these seven stars do not come from the universe you see. There are ancient records in my hometown that the seven stars from Tianshu to Yaoguang perform their duties and control Mandate of Heaven. The first is to manage fate, the second is to command Lu, the third is to prolong life, the fourth is to prolong life, the fifth is to benefit, the sixth is to save evil, and the seventh is to ascend to life. I used to think that these are all illusory It’s a mythical story, but I didn’t expect to come to this world and become a mythical character myself.”

Shen Chong looked down at his fingers, and vaguely remembered the confusion and shock when he was inspired to heal himself for the first time, but now he got used to it naturally.

But if we go back to our hometown Earth, these things are still fundamentally unreasonable and unscientific.

After listening to the old man, Wangshu began to mutter to himself, repeating the fourteen words, "Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang. Si Ming, Si Lu, Lu Cun , prolong life, benefit calculation, overcome calamities, and ascend to birth.”

In the process of repeating his chanting, his body became lighter and lighter, and starlight fell from his body like fireworks blooming.

Shen Chong knew that this senior who didn't have a great heart but did great things was going to pass away eventually.

"I see!"

Suddenly, the old man Wangshu who was about to collapse yelled loudly, as if suddenly realizing it.

"I understand! I finally understand! I have no regrets in this life! I will go to the next life! Shen Chong, you are a god, and you came to this world to suffer! Thank you for your guidance, I will go!"

The old man in white robe rose into the sky amidst long laughter, like the rising sun at first, then turned into a long rainbow in an instant, piercing the night and piercing the starry sky.

The dense clouds in the sky that originally covered the sky were pierced by this beam of light, and the clouds spread out from the pierced position like water waves.

In the end, this beam of light sank into the darkness of the universe and disappeared without a trace.

Shen Chong was fascinated, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, "As expected of an extremely strong man who died so uniquely."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly trembled.

Seven tiny beams of light that were almost invisible to the naked eye shone down from the cloud layer that had just been broken, and the seven tiny light beams condensed into a bunch in front of him, shining right on top of his head.

After a moment, these seven faint lights quickly turned into cosmic background radiation invisible to the naked eye.

But Shen Chong always felt weird.

He jumped out a step to the side.

Damn it, I still feel like it's still shining on me, it's so hot!
He ran forward for tens of meters, and then looked back at the sky. The hole in the cloud layer was rapidly recondensing, but the radiation formed by the seven rays of light still made him feel faintly hot.

Shen Chong finally understood something.

This... is the starlight from my hometown!
