Chapter 15: The Ghost Talks

"Small cages, big cages, ridiculous, lamentable. As you said, everything in this world has become a cage, and what man seeks is nothing more than a larger cage. In this case, what kind of glory and wealth do you want, you can just live in your own house and live in peace, anyway, the humble house is a cage, and the golden house is also a cage, so what's the difference? Why do you give me a robe of glory? Xiao Lang found that the ghost had no intention of doing it, of course he was so happy, who would want to do it if he could solve the problem with his mouth?

He put the iron sword back in the Qiankun bag, crossed his arms, and looked at the ghost: "You are stealing the concept. ”

There is no such thing as a person who has no desires and no desires, and it is normal and reasonable to fight for his own hopes.

Although there is no end to the valley hope, almost everyone has 10,000 and wants 100,000, and 100,000 wants 1 million.

100,000 is a cage, and 1 million is also a cage, but this is the root of people's continuous struggle, not the reason for not seeking progress. You can't just say that there is an endless amount of money in this world and you just don't want to make even a penny.

Maybe it's a bit cheesy to use money as a metaphor, but it can also be represented by knowledge, because knowledge is also endless, and no one can explore the end, and we can't give up treatment because there is no end to learning, ah no, it's to give up learning.

"Then there's the mistake of inverting cause and effect. Ten thousand years of loneliness is only the end of cultivation, it is the result, not the reason for the cultivator's cultivation, no one cultivates for the sake of ten thousand years of loneliness, not to mention the fact that almost no one can cultivate to that point. ”

Xiao Lang's current state is like the summary statement of the four debaters in the debate competition, no matter whether his own reasons are convincing or not, anyway, on the surface, he must be convinced.

"Okay, I don't have a good memory, you said this and that, all I remember are these three mistakes, how can you repeat them again, maybe I can find out more." Xiao Lang stared at the ghost's every move and shook his shoulders, indicating that what you said was nothing more than that.

But I found that the ghost at this time was expressionless, too, it was indeed difficult to expect a ghost with only the outline of his facial features to make any complicated expression, but it didn't seem to have the intention of doing anything.

Silence, a long silence, the four sides of the world were originally this person and one soul, no one spoke, there was no sound, and the surroundings were even more silent.

"Hahaha......" The ghost suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, but with indescribable sadness.

After a long time, he stopped laughing, faced Xiao Lang, bowed deeply.

Xiao Lang hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, but found that his body could only pass through him and could not be touched at all.

It's like two dimensions of existence, and they can see and feel each other's existence, but they can't intersect.

Xiao Lang didn't know what the situation was, if this ghost was just a spirit body—he originally thought so—it didn't seem to be so simple, after all, within Xiao Lang's understanding, a simple spirit body could not have a language function, let alone be able to tell a bunch of truths.

But if the ghost is not a spirit body, then why can't Xiao Lang touch it at all?

Putting aside things that are not clear to think about for the time being, this is a habit that Xiao Lang has developed in the past, not to mention that it is better to think about what kind of identity it is than to think about what kind of problem the ghost is.

In other words, as long as this ghost is not an NPC that was "generated" by itself in this trial task, then eighty percent of it is almost certain that it is its predecessor, and it is still an ancestor-level character, but the god of death is not extinguished, and it is stranded in this unique space.

And judging by his actions, although he may have meant to harm himself before, but now, he is completely a person who is confused and enlightened, and it doesn't look like a "task NPC" produced only for the sake of "task flow".

After all, if he was just an ordinary boss or something like that in the box of life and death, there was absolutely no reason to laugh so sadly.

"Confucianism has a word teacher, the old man didn't understand it before, but now I understand, so you deserve my worship." The ghost said, facing Xiao Lang, and bowed again.

"The seniors are serious." Xiao Lang also bowed and replied.

"There are really talented people in this world, and I have been practicing hard for thousands of years in vain, and I am really ashamed to compare with my little friends." The ghost's expression finally returned to normal, but he still admired Xiao Lang very much in his tone.

"It is said that the avenue is alone, it turns out that what I understand is all wrong, no wonder the master said that I can't break through this life and death box, it turns out that the truth is here." The ghost shook his head, laughing at himself.

Xiao Lang finally heard it, his speculation was indeed correct, this ghost, like himself, also came to break into this life and death box, but the ending was equally obvious, he failed, and he was trapped here, and it seemed that he would never be able to get out.

As for the reason for the failure, it should be the question he asked Xiao Lang just now, he himself couldn't understand it, so naturally there was no way out.

This is not surprising, there is not much difference between a cultivator who only knows how to cultivate and a nerd who can only read, their age does not represent their experience, and this kind of person often understands a lot of truth, but they all come to understand it from books, not to mention whether the so-called truth in the book is really the truth, it is a question whether this kind of person can understand it correctly.

"I don't know how many generations of disciples Xiaoyou is of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who is he trained from?" The ghost asked, "Maybe the old man is still your direct elder, but please don't blame the old man for being too talkative, your master is really ruthless and let a disciple who has not yet achieved the golden pill enter the box of life and death." ”

The ghost paused, as if he understood something again: "Also, the experience of this life and death box has nothing to do with cultivation, and the earlier you enter, the greater the help for the cultivator's future cultivation, but it is really hard to imagine that a disciple who has not even formed a golden pill, where does he come from the Dao heart, without a stable Dao heart, how can your master rest assured that you will come to the life and death box." ”

This Xiao Lang couldn't answer, he didn't even know what the Dao Heart was, and for Xiao Lang, the more critical question was not what the Dao Heart was, but what was the Heavenly Sword Gate?

"The juniors are not the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Gate, and what is this Tianjian Gate, the juniors really don't know, as for the master's name, please allow the juniors not to tell each other." Xiao Lang replied, if it weren't for his own elders, then Yan Wunuo's reputation would not be good to tell the truth, this is the rule.

This ghost is not a disciple of the Burial Sword Villa, which makes Xiao Lang a little incredible.

Xiao Lang probably knew that even if he joined the Burial Sword Villa halfway now, he was only a disciple of the Villa's thirties and thirties, as for the specific generation, it depended on Yan Wunuo's arrangement, but no matter what, it also showed that the Burial Sword Villa had existed for a long time before he worshipped it, and originally according to his imagination, this ghost might be a senior in the twenties or even more than ten generations, and it was impossible to expect that this ghost was not a person from the Burial Sword Villa.

"Which disciple are you?" The ghost immediately asked, obviously, he was also taken aback, he didn't expect to meet a disciple of another sect in the life and death box.

"Under the door of the Burial Sword Villa." Xiao Lang replied.

"Where is the master?" The ghost asked again.

"Lutai Mountain, Tianyu Peak." Regarding these, Xiao Lang did not hide it.

The ghost was silent, didn't speak for a long time, didn't move, and just froze.

"Senpai, Senpai?" Although Xiao Lang couldn't see the ghost's expression, he could obviously guess something.

It is very likely that the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Master Gate have been extinguished, and the inheritance has been broken.

If the place name Xiao Lang said was not Lutai Mountain and Tianyu Peak, then perhaps the ghost who was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect would still deceive himself into thinking that this place that could seize the life and death of heaven and earth had another entrance, but now, the name of the place has not changed, but the master gate has not, so what else can it mean?

I don't naively think that my own mountain gate dislikes the bad feng shui of Lutai Mountain, so I moved away.

This is too big a blow to the ghost, it can be seen that his feelings for the master are very deep, hearing Xiao Lang say this, it is like a wanderer who is working hard outside suddenly learns that his old house has been forcibly demolished.

"No, no! Without the Heavenly Sword Gate's inheritance method, how could the box of life and death be opened? By the way, also, do you have any books on you that have exercises or anything like that? "The ghost is not as good as ordinary people, maybe he originally knew more about the life and death box than the wind man, not to mention that he has been living here like a dead man for many years, at this moment he remembered something, and said anxiously.

Xiao Lang took out the "Immortal Pole Primordial Sutra" from the exercise column, which was the only exercise on his body, but it had nothing to do with the Burial Sword Villa.

Xiao Lang just wanted to explain that he would save this ghost from being hit again, after all, speaking of which, there is still a connection between the names of a Heavenly Sword Gate and a Burial Sword Villa, and both factions can open the box of life and death, maybe the Heavenly Sword Gate has changed its name? I just came to the Burial Sword Villa, and I am not familiar with everything here, and I don't know if the Burial Sword Villa has anything to do with this Heavenly Sword Gate.

If the ghost mistakenly thinks that this "Immortal Pole Primordial Sutra" is the inheritance of the Burial Sword Villa, and finds that it is different from the Heavenly Sword Gate, then it will definitely be able to conclude that the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Gate has been broken, and maybe it will be thought that Xiao Lang's master destroyed the Heavenly Sword Gate, and then occupied the mountain and set up another one, and then again, the word "Burial Sword", no matter how you hear it, it is a bit of a taboo to violate the Heavenly Sword Gate, and even if the sect changes its name, it will definitely not be such a change.

Xiao Lang hadn't said anything yet, but he didn't expect that this ghost just glanced at the primordial scripture, then put his mind at ease, and seemed to be worried about something, so he asked Xiao Lang to help him start turning the page.

Xiao Lang couldn't understand the things on it, but for the ghosts, it was naturally not difficult at all.
