Chapter 138: Understanding
There has been a gap of three months from the last time, and three months is like a flick of a finger for people who cultivate immortals, and Song Chensha looks the same as last time, still so mature and gentle, still with such a sunny smile.
First of all, he inspected Zhang Xiaohan's cultivation, nodded and praised: "Yes, the eighth layer of qi training." ”
Then he got straight to the point: "Xiao Han, I found out that you didn't exchange huàn things at the outer gate, except for a map, why?" ”
Zhang Xiaohan guessed that Song Chensha would ask her this question, if Song Chensha didn't ask her before she entered the Xiannong Cave Mansion, she would be surprised, and smiled when she heard this: "I don't like the comment in the back." ”
Song Chensha was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhang Xiaohan meant.
After Zhang Xiaohan invited Song Chensha to sit down, he explained: "For the time being, I still have the Five Elements Willow Leaf Flying Knife, so I don't lack offensive magic weapons, as for the defense, I don't know much about the Xiannong Cave Mansion, so I haven't thought about it yet." ”
Song Chensha stared at Zhang Xiaohan intently, the smile on his face was almost gone, and although his voice was gentle, it was unquestionable: "You didn't say that you didn't like any comments." ”
Zhang Xiaohan shrugged, avoiding Song Chensha's aggressive eyes, and looked at his bed with his head half-down, the dragon mouse was obediently lying on the pillow, its small eyes staring at them, it completely understood the conversation between the two.
"Brother Song, do you know my former identity, have you heard this sentence: It is better to be broken than to be complete." The room was quiet all of a sudden, although Zhang Xiaohan didn't look directly at Song Chensha, but the corner of his eye clearly noticed that Song Chensha's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
"It's better to be broken than to be complete." Song Chensha repeated in a low voice, he looked at Zhang Xiaohan inquiringly, when did this girl grow up? On her half-sided face, her long eyelashes were fluffy and curled upward, and her lips were tightly pursed, showing her stubbornness.
Song Chensha said slowly: "Don't you have confidence in yourself? ”
Zhang Xiaohan turned her face, at this moment, her thinking seemed to return to her previous life, she seemed to be in the office to her boss, or her once aggressive colleague.
"Faith?" She smiled softly: "It has nothing to do with confidence, nothing to do with it, I just don't like it." She didn't want to explain this too much, she felt that Song Chensha wouldn't understand, or if she did, she wouldn't care.
The two have completely different views on the nature of things, she doesn't want to force Song Chensha to accept her opinions, and she doesn't want to argue with him, the education they both receive is different, everyone's ideas are deep-rooted and difficult to change.
"Do you think the sect's approach is wrong?" Song Chensha asked.
Zhang Xiaohan raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise: "I just don't like it, this has nothing to do with the sect's practices." ”
This is the second time that Zhang Xiaohan has emphasized that it doesn't matter, seeing Song Chensha frowning slightly, thinking about it and explaining: "This is my personal problem, I long for freedom, I don't want to live in order to survive, and even as long as I think about this thought, I feel sad, so I don't give myself any luck." ”
Shaking his head as he spoke, there was a hint of persistence in his tone: "I think the reason why we immortal cultivators cultivate immortals is also part of this obsession, going against the sky, that is, not being a slave of fate, relying on their own efforts and perseverance, to change their innate destiny, even the will of heaven has to change, and the slaves of fate are not willing to do it, let alone the slaves of others?" ”
Song Chensha's complexion finally changed slightly, Zhang Xiaohan's words made him feel uneasy, from the heart, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the sect's practices, he had also experienced such a thing, when he exchanged huàn magic weapons in the sect, he never thought that he would not be able to complete the task.
When he returned with a full harvest, he was greeted by Shizun's kind smile, and he didn't even think about whether he would really be a slave of Shizun if he couldn't complete the task, or go to the spirit stone mine to mine to pay off his debts.
No, how could he not complete the task, even if he did not complete the task and became the slave of the master, he would have no complaints.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain this qiē to Zhang Xiaohan, but when he came into contact with Zhang Xiaohan's eyes, he stopped, and the eyes of the girl in front of him clearly had persistence and maturity that were not commensurate with her age, and suddenly, a terrible thought appeared in his heart, she, is it really her?
She, the qualification of the five spirit roots, but in just three years, she has risen from the second layer of qi training to the eighth layer of qi training, even if she takes the heavenly material and earth treasure, it is too fast.
He quickly recalled the scene of contact with Zhang Xiaohan in his memory, and stopped at the scene of the first meeting: facing the sea of corpses flowing with blood, she retreated with a pale face......
No, no, she won't be the one who takes away, if she is a monk who takes away, how can she be afraid of the corpse of a demon beast.
He shook his head, shook off his thoughts, and remembered the purpose of his coming: "Xiao Han, the sect is not here to enslave the disciples of the outer sect, Xiannong Cave Mansion is not only a place with many elixirs, but also a good place for training, the reason why the sect wants to set the rules of redemption is to hope that the disciples will survive in Xiannong Cave Mansion and live safely." ”
Zhang Xiaohan nodded, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, the disciples of the outer gate are very poor, but there are no spirit stones to buy magic weapons." ”
Zhang Xiaohan smiled, and his face immediately returned to the naughty appearance of a girl.
Song Chensha also smiled, such a Zhang Xiaohan is the Zhang Xiaohan he is familiar with, an innocent and lively little girl.
"By the way, Brother Song, you have been in the Xiannong Cave Mansion, tell me about it." Zhang Xiaohan didn't want to argue with Song Chensha, patted the storage bag on his body, took out the map from the sect, unfolded it, and put it on the table.
Song Chensha looked at the map, with a look of memory on his face: "Speaking of which, it has been twenty years since I entered the Xiannong Cave Mansion, and the map has not changed. ”
His hand stroked the map: "Every time a disciple who leaves the Xiannong Cave Mansion safely, he will understand himself, and tell the sect what is not marked on the map, and the map is improved little by little." ”
That's the case, Zhang Xiaohan nodded, and wanted to ask which place Song Chensha was perfect, but after thinking about it, she stopped, she saw that Song Chensha was reminiscing, and she didn't want to interrupt Song Chensha's memories.
Song Chensha slowly pointed to the map: "Xiannong Cave Mansion is a very beautiful place, when it is not opened, it is shrouded in a faint white mist, as if it is a fairy world, it is very beautiful from the outside, but once you enter, you will find that the scenery there is even more beautiful, so beautiful that it is not like all in the world." ”
Song Chensha can describe it like this, which makes Zhang Xiaohan very surprised.
"As soon as you enter, you will see vast plains, rivers, mountain peaks, and patches of woods, and all kinds of blooming flowers on the ground." Song Chensha's smile gradually softened.
"Patches of woods and flowers divide the ground into pieces of medicine fields, each medicine field grows different kinds of elixir, bees flying on the medicine field, wandering among the sea of flowers, it is really beautiful."
It must be very beautiful for a big man like Song Chensha to call it a beautiful place, she remembered the scenery she saw during her trip to Tibet, and at that time she also thought that it was enough to die when she saw such a beautiful scenery.
"However, under such a beautiful appearance, death is always hidden." Song Chensha's eyes deepened: "As soon as you step into the medicine field, even if you only step into the sole of your foot, the bees will suddenly start attacking and pierce the spikes on your body." ”
Zhang Xiaohan slowly sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to pick up the little squirrel, and listened to Song Chensha narrate: "Stung by a bee, it was only a slight pain at first, and then it was itchy, itching from the place where it was pricked, I saw with my own eyes that the person in our team cut off his left arm with a knife, and I would rather be in pain than itchy." ”
Although Zhang Xiaohan has not experienced it personally, he has also heard that itching to the extreme is more terrible than pain.
"However, if you don't step into the medicine field, don't pick the elixir, and won't be attacked by bees, we have all been told the precautions before entering the Xiannong Cave Mansion, one of which is that we can only pick the elixir when we leave the Cave Mansion."
Zhang Xiaohan nodded, it is true, everyone has to stay in it for a month, if they rush to pick the elixir as soon as they enter, then, in a month, they will not be tortured by bees to death and go crazy.
"Therefore, everyone is trying to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment first, and try to walk inside, the more inward they go, the longer the year of the elixir will be, but the medicine field has also begun to get smaller, and it is not planted in large areas like the periphery, but in caves."
Dongfu? Zhang Xiaohan is familiar with this term, and Xiannong Cave Mansion is named like this, but doesn't the cave house refer to the place where people who cultivate immortals live or retreat? How could Song Chensha use such a word?
It may be that seeing the puzzlement on Zhang Xiaohan's face, Song Chensha explained: "It's a small cave mansion, which has all the rooms that immortal cultivators need, alchemy, retreat, and rest, oh, it can't be said that all the rooms are based on alchemy, it is said that the people who went in before got a lot of things inside, there are formed pills stored in the zài jade bottle, and there are alchemy furnaces, where the elixir is precious compared to the outside, and the year is also long." ”
"So, that means that there were many monks living in the Xiannong Cave Mansion in the past, and they all had their own small cave mansions to live in?" Zhang Xiaohan asked.
"It should be, it can't be said to be small, every cave house is bigger than our current cave house, well, after you leave Xiannong Cave Mansion and build a foundation, you can also pick a place to live in the inner door, and you will have your own cave house." Song Chensha seems to have a lot of confidence in Zhang Xiaohan. RS
