Zhang Xiaohan doesn't expect anyone in this world to understand her, but she also wants someone to talk to her, gossip, and relieve the occasional inappropriate emotion in her heart.

When I first arrived in Wuji Sect, I was very happy with Hibiscus, they never talked about cultivation, they only talked about eating and drinking, talking about the structural layout of the kitchen and bathroom, and talking about the pleasures of life.

But since giving hibiscus for elixir, they have never been as leisurely as before.

It's been more than sixty or seventy years since she crossed over, she can't remember, the more her cultivation rises, the stronger the loneliness becomes, and she feels that her heart is a little indifferent.

The ideals and goals of the past are all gone, except for cultivation, standing at the highest point of the monks of the Lingwu Continent, she has lost her ideals and goals at all.

Zhang Tao looked at Zhang Xiaohan strangely, he really didn't understand Zhang Xiaohan's thoughts, in his opinion, there is nothing more important than ascension, for the sake of ascension, everything can be abandoned, including...... Temporary loss of freedom.

"How?" Zhang Xiaohan saw Zhang Tao's confusion, no one had ever discussed similar topics with her, and Zhang Xiaohan suddenly had a ** to confide.

"In my hometown, there was a story about a wise man who saw a mortal herding sheep and asked him, 'What are you herding sheep for?' The man said, "To make money." The wise man asked, "What is the purpose of making money?" The man said, "Build a house and marry a wife." The wise man then asked, "Why do you marry a daughter-in-law?" The man laughed: "Give birth to a baby." So what is the purpose of having a baby? The man thought for a while before he said, "Herd the sheep!" ”

Zhang Tao listened to Zhang Xiaohan's words, and felt naïve at first. But when Zhang Xiaohan ended, the faint smile on Zhang Tao's face disappeared.

At first glance, this passage is a simple conversation between a wise man and an ordinary mortal, just talking about the process of mortals living like ants all their lives, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xiaohan's purpose in saying these words is not so simple.

What is the difference between the survival of their monks and that mortal in another way?

What is the purpose of hunting demon beasts, refining magic weapons, making talismans, and alchemy? In order to improve the cultivation. What is the purpose of raising cultivation? Refine better elixir artifacts and hunt higher-grade demon beasts. Then, naturally, it is to cultivate to a higher level. All the way to the ascension.

But what about Ascension? What about after the ascension?

No one knows what the world will be like after Ascension? In the classics handed down from antiquity and the legends dotted with stars. It can be roughly judged that the aura of the last session is richer than this one, and the life of the immortals of the last session is better than this one, so everyone has to soar.

However, isn't it still cultivation after ascension? Isn't there a need to cultivate after ascending?

Zhang Tao has lived for more than 2,000 years. He wouldn't be so naïve to think that he wouldn't need to cultivate when he got to the last session. No more struggle. You can do whatever you want.

If you really don't need to cultivate and can do whatever you want, then the last session will not be a good place.

So. Isn't it just another life of cultivation, refining weapons and alchemy, and repeating the cycle?

Zhang Tao was silent, he felt that Zhang Xiaohan was wrong to say this about the cultivation of monks, but he couldn't find a place to refute it, monks have lived like this for tens of thousands of years, and cultivation is the most important thing in their lives, but today Zhang Xiaohan actually compared the cultivation of monks with the herding of sheep by mortals, but there is still some truth.

Zhang Xiaohan was also silent for a while, and then continued: "If the goal is in front of you, then for the sake of this goal ideal, it may not be an exaggeration to compromise or unscrupulous means, but what if the goal is impossible to achieve?" ”

Saying that, Zhang Xiaohan looked at Zhang Tao: "Monks are also people, and longevity and Tianqi may have it, but after all, not every monk can do it, just like so many people in the Lingwu Continent, there are still a few people who can cultivate immortals after all, so for this goal that may never be reached, I will wronged myself, do what I am not willing to do, and even let go of my self-esteem, everyone has their own ambitions, and it is different whether it is worth it or not The judgment and opinion of each monk is different, but I will never do this." ”

Zhang Tao's complexion changed, he was forced to be Zhang Xiaohan's indentured servant, he was reluctant in his heart, Zhang Xiaohan had always been polite to him, and he began to reluctantly accept this identity in his heart, but Zhang Xiaohan said this, didn't it imply that he had given up his self-esteem?

"Zhang Daoyou would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile?" When Zhang Tao said this, he was angry in his heart, if it weren't for the suppression of the contract, he really wanted to walk away.

Zhang Xiaohan knew that her words touched Zhang Tao and reminded him of his current status as a contract servant, she looked directly at Zhang Tao, and since she had said something, she had to say it.

"I may not be able to do this, it is not easy to do this, there are too many things in this world that we can't give up, but everyone has a bottom line in their hearts, as long as they don't touch this bottom line, they can tolerate it."

Zhang Tao looked at Zhang Xiaohan's eyes, Zhang Xiaohan also stared at Zhang Tao calmly, she knew Zhang Tao's bottom line.

Zhang Xiaohan admits that she herself is not a good person in the strict sense, she is not even a good person, and she also kills people just because others offended her; She also kills demon beasts, just because she wants to obtain the materials on demon beasts; She even deprived others of their freedom and treated them as her own slaves......

She doesn't want to justify herself, there is nothing to defend, but she has her bottom line.

For a while, Zhang Tao avoided Zhang Xiaohan's eyes.

Zhang Xiaohan's eyes were open, she thought so in her heart, she could say such a thing, he didn't approve, but there was no way to refute it, if he was still a monk in the cultivation period of the Three Holy Temples, he would definitely scoff at such words, in the eyes of the monk, in order to achieve the goal, he can do whatever it takes, bottom line? There is no word bottom line in the monk's practice.

But in his heart, he admired it slightly, he and all the monks despised Zhang Xiaohan, Zhang Xiaohan and them were two different people at all.

Although in his opinion, Zhang Xiaohan is very stupid.

"Zhang Daoyou," Zhang Xiaohan thought about it, and still said: "Thank you for listening to me, these words have been in my heart for a long time." ”

The effect of the contract made Zhang Tao feel Zhang Xiaohan's sincerity, and Zhang Tao stood up silently and walked out of the stone room.

After saying these words, Zhang Xiaohan's heart suddenly relaxed, from this moment on, what furnace ding, what double cultivation, will all leave from her life.

She also understood that what she was pursuing in this world was always different from that of the monks here.

So, let go of your hands and feet, show your strength in a dignified manner, the past is forever gone, and the future will start from today in the North Cold Mountain. (To be continued......)
