62. Searching for the Truth
"I'm hungry and I want to eat some of that." Fairy Hanahime suddenly pointed to a stall where a few diners sat scattered.
"Ah, you feel hungry?" Yang Xiaojun was very surprised, since he came to this space, it can also be said that he has not felt hungry since a certain moment during his cultivation in the earth space, how could this flower girl suddenly have the feeling of an ordinary person, is this a return to the basics?
"What hunger is, I don't understand. But I just felt very uncomfortable and saw that one wanted to eat in my stomach. Fairy Hua Ji said, she really didn't understand what Yang Xiaojun said this word was, because this was the first time she heard it.
"Okay, let's go get something to eat, I don't know what to exchange for here." Yang Xiaojun said.
"Do you still need something to give them in exchange? But I can't open my bag now, and I can't take out the contents of it, so what can I do? Fairy Hanahime said.
"Let's go over and ask first, let's go, I'll have a way." As he spoke, Yang Xiaojun took Fairy Hua Ji's hand and walked to the stall.
Fairy Hanahime felt a strange sensation coming from her hand, rushing directly into the deepest part of her heart, she didn't know what it was, she had never felt before, but she knew that this feeling was very comfortable.
"Bring me that, and that 、......" Fairy Hanahime ordered several things in one go. Yang Xiaojun took a look at the food here and saw that the food here was made of the flesh and blood of some high-level cultivators, there were animals, plants, and human races, fortunately, the flowers and fairies were all animal cultivators, if he ordered that human race, he didn't know if he would object.
"Why don't you eat some." While feasting, Fairy Hua Ji asked Yang Xiaojun, who was sitting in a daze.
"I'm not hungry." Yang Xiaojun really didn't feel any hunger.
"It's strange that you're not hungry after walking for so long, and it seems that you are indeed different from us. It's incredible that you still have the same mana as before. Fairy Hanahime said.
"I don't know, I don't know, I can't just try it. Because there is a feeling that if I fight anyone like I did before, this Canterlot will be destroyed in an instant. Yang Xiaojun said honestly.
"You're such a monster. But I don't think it's good to fight and kill like that, it's better to be like this, and I don't want to go back to the past. Fairy Hua Ji quickly ate all the delicious food, and then looked at Yang Xiaojun and said.
"Don't you want to have great mana?" Yang Xiaojun said with some surprise.
"I don't want to, if I can live like this, it's much more comfortable than having strong mana." Fairy Hanahime said.
"What do you do if someone comes to bully you or even mutilate you?"
"What is bullying, why are they bullying me, how are they bullying."
"You're hungry and you don't have anything to exchange for food, or the food you've exchanged has been snatched away by someone else. And they force you to do something you don't want to do, so what do you do? ”
"You see so many people on the street, aren't they all like this, they don't have mana, I live whatever they want. We asked the old man just now, didn't he say that he saw anything here and took whatever he liked, so why rob others of yours. If you want to work, you can help him work, and if you don't want to work, you can do nothing, but if you really don't do anything, it seems to be boring. ”
"What do you do if someone is going to force you to do something you don't want to do."
"I don't know what I can do here without mana, there's nothing I don't want to do, I can do anything."
"Let's say someone is going to force you to take off your clothes."
"Then take it off, I can take it off now. This kind of thing is supposed to be learned by everyone, and I don't know what it is for. If someone tells me to take it off, I'll take it off. ”
"Then what would you do if someone wanted to beat you, eat your flesh and drink your blood, and refine your body into a magic weapon."
"I don't have mana now, any part of my limbs is useless, no one is interested."
"If there is such a bad person, he just takes pleasure in bullying the weak."
"Then you can help me."
"What if I don't have the power to help you."
"Then I don't know what to do, let others slaughter me."
"So you still have to make yourself strong, so that you can get rid of the fate of being slaughtered by others."
It took a lot of effort for Yang Xiaojun to explain the question of why he wanted to become strong to Fairy Hua Ji. But Fairy Hua Ji's next words made Yang Xiaojun feel that he really had nothing to say.
"Even then, I think it's good to be in this state. There wasn't much joy or sadness before. I'll be happy for a few days when I upgrade, but soon I don't feel anything anymore. Now I feel good when I look at a lot of things, and I feel very uncomfortable when I'm hungry, but once I'm full, that feeling is more pleasant than cultivating and upgrading, and wouldn't it be nice if I felt it once a day. ”
"So your happiness is so easy to satisfy. A hungry-to-full process makes you look forward to it. ”
"Not only that, but I feel very happy every time you hold my hand, in short, many things seem to be different from the original, which can make me happy."
Yang Xiaojun has nothing to say now, he really doesn't know how to say it. Thinking about the life in the earth's space, I really feel that life was good when I didn't step into the world of supernatural abilities. Now that he has become the strongest, and at the same time feels that he has become nothing, he thinks that his wife and daughter have no emotional fluctuations, just like the passers-by who flash in front of him, they can't stir up a ripple. Cultivation makes people only know about escalation and fighting, and without emotion, there is a lack of happiness and pain, and this kind of life is really not very interesting.
"I'm tired, let's find a place to rest. It's been a day, where are we going? Fairy Hanahime asked.
"Okay, then rest." Yang Xiaojun didn't know where to go, he only thought that the purpose was Central City, but now he came to Central City and found that it was no different from the city in earth space. The people here live in an orderly manner, there is a peaceful scene everywhere, and there is nothing discordant, is this the ultimate destination of cultivation?
For a few days in a row, they hadn't met a single cultivator with mana power in this central city, which was completely a metropolis on the earth. Unlike Earth, there are no schools and hospitals, no police and no army, and because there are no fights, there is no need for these special professions, because they were once the strongest people in this space, so there is no need for schools and hospitals. It's like a huge nursing home, because almost all the people they see are old people, at least middle-aged. It is also more like the legendary Garden of Eden, and the purpose of people's labor is not to survive, but entirely because of their own preference for labor. If you need something to do, just move your mind, and there will be several scenarios to choose from.
"Who is the rule-maker of this space?" Yang Xiaojun asked an old man
"I don't know, we've been involved in making the rules, but that's only a small part." The old man replied.
"How do you get involved in the rules?" Yang Xiaojun asked
"Weren't you invited to this space?" The old man asked rhetorically.
"Yes, but no one asked me to be involved in the rules." Yang Xiaojun lied.
"Oh, it may be because you don't have it in your duties, or maybe you're being assigned a new task. Haven't you been instructed to do so yet? The old man asked.
"I don't know what I need to do next? How do I receive my assignments? Yang Xiaojun said.
"Oh, then you just have to be patient, there will be a task. If you're not here like us, tired of life outside, want to relax for a while and then disappear, you're waiting for assignments. How long have you been here. The old man asked
"It's been five days." Yang Xiaojun replied.
"That shouldn't be, if you don't come here to care for the elderly, it won't take more than three days at most, or your mana will be damaged and affect the performance of your ability." The old man looked at Yang Xiaojun suspiciously and said.
"I don't know what's going on. Will the messenger who assigned the task forget about me? Yang Xiaojun asked stupidly.
"It's impossible. After all these years, I've forgotten a little about the past. Now that I think about it, if you were invited, once you get to this space, some options will automatically pop up in your mind. If you choose to accept your next mission, more details will appear in your mind, including limiting when you want to leave the space. If you don't accept it, new tasks will appear, and so on. My original choice was not to accept all the tasks, and the last option was to suggest some changes to the rules of the space, and you just had to choose the option that you thought made the most sense. There is no right to come up with new rules, and it is said that even accepting the quest will make you choose the rules of the space, which is the last thing that every cultivator who is invited to do must do. Have you really not done it? The old man looked at Yang Xiaojun incredulously.
"Not really." Yang Xiaojun replied honestly.
"Then you must have passed through the Guiyuan District without receiving an invitation. This hasn't happened and I don't know what will happen. The old man said.
"I came here on my own, so how do I talk directly to the top management of this space?" Yang Xiaojun asked the old man.
"How is this possible. It is impossible to get out of the Guiyuan District on its own, and it is said that the prohibition rules there were jointly formulated by countless seniors, and even the space manager could not get out without being invited. But since you came here on your own, there must be something special about you. I don't know how to talk to top management, I just know that every time they come to me, I can't reach them. Their way is also one instruction after another straight into my head, and I haven't seen anyone. The old man said
"What is the form of invitation, and why can you enter the Guiyuan area without restrictions with an invitation." Yang Xiaojun asked.
"An invitation is a specially crafted amulet that allows you to avoid other unnecessary injuries. I can't tell. The old man replied.
Yang Xiaojun chatted with a few more people, and everyone's answers were similar, everyone had participated in the formulation of rules, but they had never seen the so-called space manager. These people were the strongest people in this space many years ago, and since they came here, they gradually didn't want to leave, and they were tired of endless cultivation and fighting. There is a special rule here that once you have been here for a certain number of years, you will completely disappear from the space. In other words, if you choose to live here, then the difference between you and the cultivators of this space is that you have a lifespan, which is the most tangled thing.
Compared with Yang Xiaojun's confusion, Fairy Hua Ji felt unusually happy, in her eyes, this is the best place, although there is a life limit, but it is better than the boring and monotonous life before. She felt something she had never felt before, and in Yang Xiaojun's opinion, it was the most ordinary joy of life for human beings on the earth, and she was willing to choose such a life even if she had time constraints.
It seems that I only have to do something to make the managers of this space notice my existence, Yang Xiaojun thought of this, and there seemed to be no other better way.
"Why do you have to talk to them? I think this rule is very reasonable, and it is all the best arrangement. Fairy Hua Ji was a little puzzled by Yang Xiaojun's attachment.
"I just want to know who made these rules on what basis and how." Yang Xiaojun said.
"You're such a strange person, what can you do if you know? Do you think this rule is unreasonable? Fairy Hanahime asked.
"It didn't feel reasonable, then it felt reasonable, and then it felt unreasonable...... in short, it kept changing. I'm also confused. Yang Xiaojun also couldn't figure out what he wanted, but he felt that he was still one step away from completing it, and he didn't want to give up halfway.
"Then you're really asking for trouble. What if you found what you thought was the truth? Fairy Hanahime asked.
"I don't know. I might leave here to wander around, or I might find a place to keep cultivating. Yang Xiaojun said.
"Ever thought you'd be in this place? Or go back to your original Earth space? Fairy Hanahime asked.
"Didn't think about it. But I always felt like I didn't belong to that space anymore, maybe I'd stay here. Yang Xiaojun said.
"Then we'll stay here together until we're out of the space completely. As long as I'm here with you, I'm so happy. The flower fairy snuggled up to Yang Xiaojun's side like a young girl, and Yang Xiaojun felt very puzzled when he looked at the flower girl fairy's behavior. How did she become more and more like an ordinary person on Earth? And why am I not having any mood swings at all, and I am becoming more and more like a robot?
Yang Xiaojun no longer concealed his strength, he wanted to see if he would be able to directly face the spatial rule manager if he showed strong mana, this was the last method he could think of. He continued to absorb the energy around him, causing the entire city to suddenly become cloudy and windy, and everyone was looking for a safe corner to escape the storm. The people who live here used to be the strongest in this space, and they knew that there was a demonstration, but now everyone was in a state of total loss of mana, and they couldn't fight against such a powerful opponent. Everyone looked at the center of the storm in the distance in disbelief, wondering why this young man in the center of the storm was not subject to the rules of space.
