Chapter 7: Merit is invisible
A breathing breath once in a hundred years is extremely normal for a sand whale, but for Changyan Village in the outside world, it is a disaster once in a hundred years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Young sand whales are still hazy about many things and have no clear consciousness. Even though she has been sleeping all year round, she doesn't even know that there is such a mortal village outside of her body, anyway, she has been in a state of sleep since she was born.
If it weren't for the little sand whale personally showing the size of her real body, Shi Xi couldn't believe that there was such a big sand whale under the desert that she had been trekking for months. Even the huge oasis of Changyan Village is just a bone spur on the back of the sand whale's huge body.
The palm-sized thing in front of him is just the most important soul core transformation of the sand whale, and it will only appear when it is breathed out once in a hundred years.
Once in a hundred years, the natural breath grows, absorbing the spiritual power between heaven and earth back into the body through the water of the holy lake, and then expelling the water that has lost the spiritual energy from the body again, which is something that sand whales need to experience in their juvenile years.
It's just that this time it was unfortunate that the little sand whale released it to gather the spiritual power of heaven and earth next to the lake, gathered a village, and raised a poplar forest.
Naturally, this is also thanks to the little guy in front of him, who has no idea that the other sand whales in their clan usually change places every hundred years, just to prevent such a situation, they have been staying in one place since their birth and have never moved.
"You're in luck, little one. ”
After listening to the little sand whale's narration, coupled with some of his own guesses, Shi Xi had to sigh that he was lucky.
You must know that this is the territory of Nanling Kingdom, and it is an area under the jurisdiction of Wuyumen, and demon cultivation is everywhere. In order to improve their cultivation, the demon cultivators did everything. The little sand whale has lived here unharmed for so many years, even if Changyan Village has experienced so many ups and downs because of this, it has not attracted the suspicion of a demon cultivator.
Maybe it's because the desert is so dry that there's nothing. Even monks need to bring their own food and water if they want to survive, let alone have treasures.
The little sand whale in front of him may be the last sand whale in this world, how it was born, not to mention, without anyone to guide him, only relying on innate instinct and awakening part of the innate racial memory, to be able to grow so big safely, it is no longer possible to describe the word luck.
"Is there really anyone out there who is dying because of me?"
The little sand whale who has never even been in contact with the outside world is so simple that Shi Xi is a little afraid to look directly at those golden eyes.
"Don't worry, in the future, you just need to pay attention not to absorb the water too cleanly when breathing, and don't squirt out all the water in your body at once. Shi Xi rubbed the little sand whale's soft head, and the little sand whale after being defenseless, even the bone spurs on its back were soft, "But why don't you suck the water back first, and then drain it?"
"Because I was in a panic, I vomited first. ”
"Hahaha, this reason is good, this reason is good!" Shi Xi's laughter faintly came out of the black cave.
Gollum rolled her eyes: "Don't laugh, like a fool." We haven't been out for so long, and there are villagers outside who want to come looking for you. ”
"Speaking of villagers, I still have a question. Shi Xi also knew that it was time to leave, after all, although the little sand whale sucked all the water into her stomach, who knew when she would vomit out, just bathe in the holy lake water when she didn't know, after knowing, she had a shadow in her heart, and she didn't want to touch the holy lake water much, even if this water contained a lot of aura.
"Those villagers who came to find out why the lake was dry must have died in the end of their own greed. Gollum answered before Shi Xi could ask a question.
The human heart is unpredictable, no matter how simple a person is, it is impossible not to be ill-intentioned in the face of a sufficiently big temptation.
The black holes near the center of the lake during the dry period must have had other thoughts after discovering that they were full of diamonds. intends to find an opportunity to avoid everyone's attention and make a fortune in a muffled voice. And when the water level is restored, it is a perfect opportunity.
It's a pity that this black hole only appears when the little sand whale breathes and breathes, and it usually dives into the place of the holy lake, isn't it to die?
This is also the reason why those people in the history of Changyan Village died soon after exploring the mystery of the dry water of the holy lake. It's just that what makes Shi Xi chill is that for so many years, no one has resisted the temptation.
"Greed, what is greed?" asked the little sand whale blankly.
"It's the diamonds on the way we came down, those shiny things!"
"You say that those things are all accumulated over the years by the toxins that I have eliminated from my body. ”
"Toxin?" Shi Xi's conditioned reflex was to check her body, and when she pried off the diamond, she touched a lot, shouldn't she be poisoned?
Those villagers of Changyan Village, if they didn't die under their own greed in the end, they must have died because they touched these poisonous diamonds!
"You have so much power in your body that the elixir has been neutralized before it has penetrated deeply. Gollum didn't care about Shi Xi's fuss, but asked a little strangely, "You just took one breath, why did even the water stored by the villagers disappear?"
"This water is all part of my body, and when I return to nature, I will all come back!" She wants to grow up by relying on the spiritual power contained in these waters, and naturally she has to take it all back.
"Well, then next time you remember to divide it into two breaths, don't suck the water too clean, so that the villagers can't live. Shi Xi motioned to Demon Shadow and Gollum to go out first to appease the villagers and not let the villagers get close, and then whispered to the little sand whale, "Do you want to go out with me to see the outside world?"
"I don't want to!"
"Then you have to pay attention to protecting yourself in the future, even if you breathe once in a hundred years, you have to hide yourself tightly, otherwise other monks will find out about you, and they will not do nothing like me, and they will definitely study your cramps and skins. ”
"Thank you. ”
"The village outside, I'll find a way to get them all to move away, after they leave, you can go into the heart of the desert, don't let yourself appear in the village in the future, otherwise it's easy to attract suspicion." ”
"Hmm!"
Looking at the little sand whale nodding his head solemnly when he heard him, Shi Xi was very itchy.
She actually wanted to take the little sand whale away, but with such a big body, she didn't have such a big spirit beast bag, and she couldn't afford to raise it. She has enough to feed herself, plus a sand whale with an incomparably large appetite at a glance, she simply doesn't have to live.
"Then I'll go, and I'll have a chance to come back to see you later. ”
"Be sure to come!" (To be continued.) )
