She chewed the Poria cake slowly, "Could it be that you want to be a thief?" Say yes beforehand, I don't recognize you. I don't know what you've said or done! ”

"Is it so ruthless?" She still had the pastry he had paid for in her mouth.

"It takes a lot of courage to break the law in Panlong City."

"For a few books, what about me?" He Lingchuan said honestly, "I have been wandering around Wenxuan Pavilion for the past few days, and I found that the collection of books in it is not as rich as I imagined, and even the number of books such as travelogues and customs is very small. ”

Sun Fuling kicked away a small stone on the ground: "Although the Chipa Plateau is rich in products and suitable for human habitation, Panlong City was only one of the cities in the Panlong Wasteland in the past. What's more, the people here are fierce and everyone is armed with martial arts, how many people do you think will take the initiative to read books? "There are few literate and reading people, how can the collection be rich?

He Lingchuan thought about it, it seemed to be such a truth.

Is his expectations too high?

"Commander Zhong has taken over Panlong City, and it has only been fifteen years, even if he teaches people to collect and compile books and set up folk schools, the inventory of Wenxuan Pavilion will not be able to go up in a short time. As for your travelogues and chronicles, I have heard that in the past, there were merchants and travelers who brought Panlong City to sell, and the sales were very good, and they were often sold out when they were put on the shelves. She said slowly, "Later, Panlong City banned the circulation of such books. ”

He Lingchuan Daqi: "Why? ”

"You know from these books that the outside world is too big and too interesting, do you want to see it?"

He Lingchuan hesitated and nodded. He knew what Sun Lingling wanted to say.

"But you can't go." Sun Fuling seemed to smile bitterly, "If people yearn for things that are far beyond their ability, they will become obsessions." ”

"There are many people like this, and it is not what Panlong City wants." She sighed under her breath, as if to say to herself, "Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness. ”

The Panlong Wasteland is an enclave of the kingdom of Xiluo, isolated from the outside of its borders, surrounded on all sides by unfriendly states.

This kind of geographical environment is destined to be trapped in Panlong City, and they can't go anywhere. The more they are attracted by the diversity of the outside world, the more likely they are to fall into the quagmire of not being able to get bogged down.

He Lingchuan heard an old saying, "The more you know, the more painful it is." He was silent for a moment before he asked her, "You have read these travelogues, what do you think?" ”

"I just want to see the sea, which is a thousand times bigger than a lake, and the tide that never stops." Sun Fuling's voice was full of longing, "Then taste the seawater and see if it is as salty and bitter as the legend." ”

The word "yes" swirled around He Lingchuan's tongue for a long time, and he didn't go out. What qualifications does he have to say yes? His identity here, and his inhabitants in the Panlong Wasteland, are also impossible to see the sea.

"There's going to be a chance." He didn't have enough confidence to say this, even though everyone was ignorant, but he knew very well what would happen to Panlong City in the end.

None of the people here will live for twenty years!

Including the bright-eyed girl in front of her.

Not only in life, but even after death, he will be imprisoned in the wasteland by the generous pot, endlessly.

Sun Fuling's apricot eyes bent into a crescent moon again: "Inherit your auspicious words." ”

"And ......," He Lingchuan hit the snake with the stick, "Have you seen any works of divination in Wenxuan Pavilion?" ”

Sun Fuling thought for a while before saying, "What kind of divination?" ”

"Divination of good fortune and evil, deduction of the future."

"It won't be."

He Lingchuan was taken aback, this "won't" was used very well. "Why?"

Sun Fuling said: "Knowing too much will only increase your troubles." Go with the flow, it's for most people. ”

He Lingchuan was completely speechless.

There is also a saying that the more sober you are, the more painful you are.

Sun Fuling glanced at him: "Why are you curious about this?" ”

He Lingchuan scratched his head: "Some people say that I am riddled with calamities and will die soon." ”

"You believe it?"

"His fortune calculation has a fairly high success rate." He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "He also expected my old things to be right. ”

"Sounds like a charlatan's words." Sun Fuling obviously didn't believe it.

But then she said: "Although there is no such book in the Wenxuan Pavilion, there is a strategist named Wen Daolun by He's side, as if he has studied this theory. He has come to the Shulu Academy Palace twice to give lectures, and he has also said a word or two of arithmetic, and I heard that Lord He relies on him very much. ”

He Lingchuan immediately came to the spirit: "Will he come for the third time?" ”

"Then I don't know." Sun Fuling said with a smile, "Such a busy person is too far away from me, you expect him to come to the school palace again, it is better to go to the official office to ask for advice." ”

He Lingchuan's eyes rolled: "Where does he live?" "How about just blocking the door?

"Then I don't know, you'll have to inquire for yourself." Sun Fuling changed the subject, "By the way, Wenxuan Pavilion has a lot of manuscripts in the language of immortals, have you looked for it?" ”

She had taught He Lingchuan how to use Wenxuan Pavilion last time, and there were actually many books written in immortal language.

"Well, not yet." He Lingchuan scratched his head, "Beginner, it's too hard to watch." ”

After all, it's only been a few days since I studied? He could still recognize a single ancient language, and it was densely packed together, and he was flustered and short of breath when he looked at it.

"That's it." Sun Fuling shook her head, "I read a lot of books, you can ask me first." ”

"Where did you get all those manuscripts?" He Lingchuan was not polite, "Is it really written by an immortal?" ”

"It should be said that it was written by the immortals and their sect disciples." Sun Fuling said, "These books are all copied from ancient books. And the ancient books ...... It is either kept and circulated by the Taoist gate or unearthed from the immortal cave and ruins. Didn't you also take the rubbing from the Immortal Cave Mansion? ”

"Daomen Rumor?" He Lingchuan remembered something, "I heard that the Immortal Sect is the predecessor of the Dao Sect. ”

"Indeed." Sun Fuling nodded, "This is a recognized fact. After the immortal disappeared from the world, the word 'immortal' of the Immortal Sect could not be maintained, and finally he was downgraded and had to be renamed Daomen. ”

"In the past few days, I have been reading books in Wenxuan Pavilion, and I have found that some books praise the high wind and bright festival of the immortals, and do their best to educate the remnants of mortals after the catastrophe of heaven and earth, help them resist the invasion of demon beasts, and ensure that the fire of Wentong is not extinguished, so that future generations will not fall into ignorance again."

"However, there are many books with fierce language, scolding the immortals for enslaving mortals, and accusing them of treating civilians like ants, killing and taking them for life." He Lingchuan shrugged his shoulders, "These two types of books can provide a lot of evidence, such as immortals trying medicine and poison for the sake of the people, subduing demons and eliminating demons, or the children of the immortal sect actually slaughtering 10,000 people, just to take the soul and refine the flag." ”

"If you read the ancient scrolls left behind by the immortals and disciples, you will know that both of these statements are correct, but they are also one-sided." The two of them left the long street and walked in the direction of the wooden house, and the flow of people on the road began to decrease, "After the natural disaster that changed everything, the aura in the world weakened rapidly, but the ability of the immortals did not disappear immediately. You understand why, right? ”

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "They still have cultivation, and there are still Xuanjing in the world?" ”

"Yes, it's like if you walk in the desert, although the environment is hot and dry and you can't find a water source, but your water bladder is basically full, so you can last longer." Sun Fuling said slowly, "Based on the immortal notes I have read, at least for two or three hundred years after the natural disaster, the immortals still have the ability to go to heaven and earth. ”

"But this is water without a source, and it cannot last long." He Lingchuan remembered the original body of Zhu Erniang he saw in the crypt spider's lair, "The female spider in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest is also an ancient monster, it keeps throwing away its heavy old shell and replacing it with a smaller and weaker skin, so that it can survive to this day." ”

To maintain the body of immortals and immortals, the consumption of spiritual energy is too large, which is like a giant whale stranded on the beach after a natural disaster, and if you can't wait for the help of the tides, you will definitely die.

"Immortals and other demon immortals are not like spider demons who can cut their feet to fit their feet, and after their own reserves of spiritual energy are exhausted, they can only die." Sun Fuling said, "Immortals are also born from mortals, and human beings have always paid attention to inheritance. They know that their lives are short, so it is not surprising that they educate the common people and pass on the torch. Look at the Shulu Academy, look at me, aren't they all doing this now? ”

"As for what you read in the book, the Immortal Sect enslaves mortals and does all kinds of evil—" she sighed, "There must be something to be done, and it has been recorded. But think about it, the aura of heaven and earth has declined to the point that it is difficult for immortals to survive, in order to fight for the last bit of limited resources, what will the Immortal Sect do? ”

He Lingchuan did not hesitate: "If it were me, I would do everything." ”

"yes." Sun Fuling smiled slightly, "The immortal was originally immortal, but it was because he had no desire and no desire; When they have to use all their strength to survive, what difference is it from us mortals? ”

He Lingchuan also sighed.

When the immortals fall from the clouds, the darkness of human nature cannot be hidden.

In the end, all living beings suffer.

"I still don't know anything."

"Say it." Sun Lingling didn't look impatient at all.

"How did Yuan Li come from?" He Lingchuan flipped through a lot of books and didn't understand, "I see some people say that this is taught by immortals to humans to resist demon beasts; There are also classics that record that this is the method taught by the gods to mankind, which is used to fight against the oppression of immortals, and of course, demon beasts. ”

"The earliest record of Yuanli seems to be more than 2,000 years ago. If no earlier evidence has been unearthed, it is likely that it was a force that was discovered after the catastrophe. Sun Fuling shrugged her shoulders, "As for the true source of Yuan Li, there is still no conclusion. The old men of the Shulu School Palace, Panlong City and Wen Sendai quarreled every day, and they were indifferent. ”

"Putting others aside, what do you think of Miss Sun?"

"Me?" Sun Fuling thought for a moment, "I prefer that it is a method taught to humans by the gods. ”

He Lingchuan's heart moved, and this thought coincided with him: "Why? ”

"Yuan Li is made up of thousands of mortals working together to be able to converge, if this is what the immortals taught to humans, it is to shoot themselves in the foot and find a way for mortals to fight against themselves."
