Chapter 16: Spiritual Crystal
The estrangement between all intelligent beings is caused by ignorance.
With this large amount of communication, there was finally a slight consensus between Bu Fan and the sea urchin, the soul of the empty underworld beast.
For Bufan, the sea urchin, an old guy who doesn't know how many years he has lived, gives him the impression that he is cunning and changeable, plus open-mindedness and conceit, and by the way, there is a little bit of calculation.
Is this understanding accurate?
How many complicated pasts will this old ghost in the sea of souls who has existed for hundreds of thousands of years have, and how many character sides will there be?
I'm afraid no one really knows.
However, Bu Fan is not a fledgling ignorant boy, in the process of previous exchanges and inquiries, there are also some temptations to determine the personality of the other party, but there is only one thing he can confirm - the other party has no idea of harming him, but has an expectation that is difficult to guess.
As for this expectation, whether it is the expectation that a good partner will become strong in the future, or the expectation of the resurrection of that "Gulano", Bufan does not know.
It's just that he has no choice, and all he can do is remind himself at all times - don't relax your guard in your heart.
Whether he is doing useless work or not, his soul filament touches and monitors the slightest bit of the soul sea, and he doesn't want these monitoring methods to block the 'old ghost' hidden in his soul sea, he only needs to be able to detect the other party's strange movements at the first time.
If he can be alert to the other party's movements, he can't say what he can do, but at least he can achieve psychological presuppositions, the soul sea is a purely idealistic existence, and this should be enough.
He had no experience to think of this, and he was armed with hearsay of religious knowledge and insights he had read in previous novels and the like.
What else could he do?
The time it takes for the soul sea to communicate is obviously out of sync with the realization, and when I open my eyes and look around, the double star has just risen a foot above the horizon, which is equivalent to seven or eight o'clock in the morning on Earthβfor three times the length of the Earth's cycle, it is an early morning.
"You've been to this planet?" asked the sea urchin in the sea of souls.
"Yes, after the rupture of the ancestral star, a large number of Terrans died, the Wa tribe was busy finishing up, and several second-generation guys fled here, and I followed the trajectory of their escape twice. β
"What's this place called? What are they doing here? What are you doing with me here?"
The question was a little incoherent, but the sea urchin understood, and replied solemnly: "The second generation calls this bright place, I call this place the bright star, and the stars here are very bright, very shining, aren't they? The second generation who fled here brought a large number of young children, and they plan to recuperate here...... As for bringing you here, don't you think the air here is fresh?"
"Well, Bright Star, it's a beautiful name. Bu Fan agreed, and then asked, "You didn't bring me here to breathe fresh air, did you?"
"Of course not, this is a planet rich in crystals, and it is also the reason why the second generation chose to settle here. β
"Nengjing?"
"Energy Crystal, Energy Crystal, Divine Crystal, Immortal Crystal, Standard Energy Crystal...... Different worlds have different names, and it is a crystalline body formed by the solidification of energy. β
"Then you brought me here to find Nengjing?"
"No, where crystals can grow, there will be a special thing, and it is called the Spirit Crystal. β
"Spirit Crystal, what are you looking for?"
"No, it's not that I'm looking for it, it's that you're looking for it, it's what you need most right now. β
"What do I need most? no, what I need most is ...... Go home this morning!"
"No, time is not an important thing, to be precise, Lao Tzu can take you back to the point in time when you left, you don't need to worry about that...... Finding the Spirit Crystal is your problem, because if you want to obtain the inheritance of gluttony, the Spirit Spirit Stone is the first step, the first step in the evolution of the body of the three generations of human race......"
"Okay, this planet is much bigger than Earth, where are you going to find the hell I don't know what kind of Enlightenment Crystal, or do you know what kind of spiritual scanning? or some kind of divine sense? can easily scan the entire star?" Bufan was really a little impatient, although he knew that what Rausch Spiritual Crystal might be important to him, but after being on this planet for almost a quarter (he could roughly estimate that the rotation period of this bright star is equivalent to three times the time of the Earth), although it was quite full, he really felt lonely and helpless.
"Are you complaining, boy, you have a tone like an ignorant hairy child!" The old guy is a real old fritter, and when to say something is obviously what he is really good at.
β...... Okay, where do we start?" Bufan took a few big breaths, and the bottom line in his heart went down again, at least successfully suppressing the desire to go home.
"From under your feet! Haven't you found traces of a four-armed human?"
"You mean it's right here?" Bufan was a little surprised, and it would be great if he could find it quickly.
"The physical enhancement of the second generation, or cultivation, also requires spars as energy, I hope they have not exhausted the spars on this planet, and it is not difficult to follow their tracks!"
"Is there a lot of spirit crystals?" Bufan wondered.
"Of course it's not much, Qiling Crystal is an associated mineral of energy crystal, and the quantity is extremely rare......"
Somehow, Bu Fan suddenly felt that the tone of the sea urchin's speech began to be more and more in sync with himself, at least in terms of words and phrases, it was easier for him to understand, but now was not the time to say this, "What does the Spirit Crystal look like?" and ...... Since it's rare...... Won't it be consumed by the second generation? Will it be gone?"
"The Spiritual Crystal is a transparent crystal, slightly bluish-violet, and its crystal ...... According to the vocabulary you are used to, it is a standard garnet-like cubic crystal, which is very hard, and the energy inside is very difficult to excite, at least I know that the second generation has never received the inheritance of using them, and if the second generation finds the spirit crystal, at most they will use them as a kind of gemstone for ordinary decoration. The sea urchin's answer was very detailed.
At least Bufan thought it was exhaustive, "Okay...... Wait, here it is...... The Bright Star People, let's call it that, where the Bright Star People once lived, there are murals of them on the rock wall, I found several four-armed human bones, their stature is generally taller than mine, but they don't seem to be strong, except for the equipment that can dig caves, it seems that something happened to them, lost their inheritance, and a warrior with a silver-white skeleton was killed by a heavy weapon with a broken neck...... By now, they must have abandoned this settlement for a long time, and they don't know where they went...... I found these two things in a stone chamber...... Have you seen it?"
As he explained, he untied some strips of rags wrapped around his arms, revealing the two armguard-like things he had found a few days ago.
"No matter what they ......" In the sea of souls, the tentacles of the sea urchin hit Bufan's soul silk, "It is a talisman made by the second generation...... No, imitations of the weapons of the second generation, coarser things, the original style comes from the Wa people, if it is made by the Wa people, it will automatically attach to the body of the owner...... Tsk, the imitation is really bad, it can't absorb energy on its own, and it has to use energy crystals, these two things seem to have no energy......"
"What is the function of this weapon?" asked Boufan.
"You have a beam weapon on your right arm, and a ...... on your left arm It's supposed to be an exploration thing, it should be out of energy, what are you doing with picking it up? Throw it away!"
Bu Fan didn't follow the advice of the sea urchin, but stood up, and while walking towards the stone chamber where the arm guard was found, he asked in the sea of souls, "Sea urchin, you must have traveled a lot of worlds, what kind of race like the Wa people who have developed to the top of the world?"
"Hmm, your question is a bit complicated, most of the peak races have their own paths, but they can't be said clearly in one or two sentences, if you want to hear it, I'm afraid that the time for this bright star to circle the twin stars three times is not enough!"
"Oooh...... Well, I'll put it another way, those groups are...... Cultivating immortals, or playing with technology? You copied part of my memory, you should know these two words?"
"Cultivating immortals, science and technology, well, I know these two words, the so-called cultivation of immortals, in fact, is the internal civilization, it refers to the inward development of the individuals of the ethnic group, and the strength of each individual to drive the strength of the group, and science and technology to put it bluntly, is to use external objects to satisfy themselves, develop to the extreme, most of them will be controlled by external objects, become slaves of foreign things......
"How come?" Bufan was surprised at the same time, but he was more shocked by the sea urchin's words.
"What do you think...... Wouldn't it?" replied as forcefully as ever.
"......" For the first time, Bufan was speechless, and walked slowly for a long time before speaking again, "Is there no additional example?"
"Yes, I remember that there is a race, they abandon their original body, directly reshape themselves with matter, and renew themselves with new materials every time they update technology, but such a race, even if they succeed in ascending in the end, they will be discriminated against by the upper world......;
"My ......" Bufan was so surprised that he didn't know how to describe himself, he couldn't imagine what kind of world the sea urchin was described.
Inner civilization and outer body civilization, idealism, materialism, what can he do? He was a little delirious for a while.
After a long and dull walk, the sea urchin suddenly asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Go and find the place where these two armguards were found, there are some hedrons...... I just don't know, is there a spirit crystal you said......" Bufan replied a little dullly.
"Well, good luck ......"
