Chapter 191: This World Is Weird and Weird
Night.
Inside the Haoyue Sect Spirit Garden.
After making sure that there was no one around, and the steward Elder Zhu Yangzhu had also fallen asleep, Fang Yun crept to the corner of the Spirit Plantation Garden.
He untied the treasure 'Creation Gourd' hanging from his waist, and carefully dripped a drop of spiritual liquid from the gourd onto the Spirit Plant's 'Red Ginseng Grass'.
In the next second, the red ginseng grass of the spiritual liquid was visible, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Catalyzed by the spiritual liquid, the red ginseng grass gradually changed from red to purple, and evolved into the best spiritual plant 'purple ginseng grass', which takes 500 years to grow.
It's done!
Fang Yun, who saw the purple ginseng grass, was overjoyed, and quickly took off the purple ginseng grass and stored it in the brocade box.
It's been three years.
After three years of Fang Yun's passage through this world from the Great Wangxing, he finally entered the 'Haoyue Sect' of the Immortal Cultivation Sect as he wished.
After receiving the Haoyue Sect's introductory technique "Haoyue Qi Cultivation Technique", coupled with the help of the Supreme Treasure 'Creation Gourd', Fang Yun only took three days to successfully introduce qi into his body and refine the spiritual power of heaven and earth for his own use.
After having the spiritual power, Fang Yun used the spiritual liquid in the 'Creation Gourd', and worked so hard to give birth to the first superb spiritual grass in his life.
Fang Yun held the brocade box containing the purple ginseng grass and said happily: "Next, I only need to use this purple ginseng grass to refine the best 'Qi Gathering Pill' elixir, and my cultivation will be able to move thousands of miles in a day!" β
"Interesting."
Inside the Spirit Garden.
Just as Fang Yun was squatting on the ground and talking to himself, Cheng Huo suddenly appeared behind Fang Yun like a ghost without warning.
He looked at Fang Yun with a curious expression and said, "You just now, were you talking to yourself?" β
Fang Yun, who heard the sound of survival, was shocked.
Fang Yun, who had always been cautious and cautious, immediately distanced himself from Cheng Huo at the first time, and then looked at Cheng Huo with a shocked face: "It's you?!" β
Although it was night at the moment, and it was pitch black all around, by the moonlight, Fang Yun could barely recognize the identity of Chengsheng.
ββChengsheng is the new initiation disciple who joined the Haoyue Sect with him a few days ago.
Since they were all in the same door, and they had just started for a long time, everyone had half a catty and eight taels, so Fang Yun lowered his guard a little.
He stared at Cheng Huo and said, "Senior brother just now, did you see it all?" β
"Hmm." Cheng Huo nodded and said, "I can see it clearly." β
"You just used Ling's gourd magic weapon to turn a spirit grass I don't know from red to purple."
"Although I don't know the value of the purple spirit grass after it is born, it is not difficult to see from the excited expression on your face and the words that you said to yourself afterwards that the purple spirit grass you spawned is most likely priceless."
"So what does Senior Brother want?" Fang Yun's face was expressionless, and he just said tentatively.
"I don't want to do anything." Cheng Huo smiled: "Although your precious gourd is magical, it is no different from waste to me. β
"After all, when a monk's cultivation breaks through to the Yuan Infant Stage, even if he eats more spirit herbs or elixirs, it is impossible to improve in any way."
As he spoke, he directly released a powerful aura from his body, which was unique to a monk in the deep diving period.
"Are you a senior in the foundation building period?"
Fang Yun, who felt the powerful aura of survival, showed a look of shock on his face.
And it didn't take long for this hint of shock to turn into incredulity: "No. I can feel that the aura of the predecessors is far more powerful than that of the foundation building stage monks, plus what the predecessors just said, could it be that the predecessors are really Yuan Infant stage monks? β
"You're smart." Cheng Huo replied with a smile: "It's just like the protagonist in those Xianxia in my impression." β
"You are mediocre in appearance and low in qualifications, but you have the utmost treasure, and then you act with great caution and watertightness."
"All the traits in you are perfectly matched with the protagonist in Xianxia."
"And the most surprising thing about me is that you talk to yourself when you're alone."
Cheng Sheng said puzzledly: "In my impression, only those mentally retarded and brainless street writers, whose protagonists will talk to themselves when no one is around. β
"After all, this is the same as writing a diary, who is a normal person who has nothing to do to keep a diary, who has nothing to do and talks to himself? Isn't this pure sickness? β
Cheng Huo said so much in one breath, only to hear Fang Yun confused, so he just looked at Cheng Huo and was silent.
But when he saw Chengsheng, he continued: "So I'm very curious, I want to know: what kind of mentality did you have just now, squatting there talking to yourself? Growing up, did you often talk to yourself when you were alone? Is this really normal for you? β
"This"
If he survived, Fang Yun only felt like waking up from a big dream.
Recalling the previous self-talk, Fang Yun only felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart: "Yes, why did I talk to myself just now?" I've never been like this before! β
Cheng Huo followed Fang Yun's words and said, "Yes, you also noticed that something was wrong, right?" You secretly cultivated spirit grass in the Spirit Plantation, which needed to be hidden enough and needed to be unknown, but you deliberately talked to yourself and made a sound, isn't this equivalent to actively exposing yourself? Do you think your behavior just now really conforms to the logic of normal people's behavior? β
"yes."
After being reminded of this, Fang Yun felt that his behavior just now was strange: "I obviously didn't plan to make any noise just now, I didn't want to attract the attention of others, but after cultivating the best spirit plant 'Purple Ginseng Grass', I couldn't help but say to myself the effect of 'Purple Ginseng Grass', as if there was some kind of power controlling me in the dark. So what the hell is wrong with me? β
"I don't know." Cheng Huo said: "You may not know yet: in fact, there are many people like you in Haoyue Sect. I've been secretly watching you lately, which is why I suddenly appeared when you were cultivating the Spirit Grass Spirit Plant. β
Hearing this, Fang Yun's face showed a sudden expression.
So, this senior didn't intend to snatch my treasure 'Creation Gourd'?
Fang Yun has always acted cautiously.
While this thought came to him, he still did not let his guard down. Even if Cheng Sheng is suspected to be a Yuan Infant Cultivator, an existence that he cannot defeat, he is also always on guard.
I only heard Cheng Huo continue: "Actually, although the gourd in your hand is a treasure, it is not very attractive to a primordial infant monk like me, so I didn't plan to show up. β
"It wasn't until you successfully cultivated a spirit grass and squatted in place talking to yourself that I finally couldn't help but show up."
"After all, the act of a person talking to himself is too strange and incomprehensible."
Fang Yun was silent.
He nodded in agreement: "What the predecessor said is true, and I also don't understand why I did that just now." β
"Okay, let's not talk about more." After a short chat, Cheng Sheng finally said, "If you have any questions you want to know, or if there are any troubles that you need my help to solve, you can come to the library to find me, I will spend most of my time in the library reading books, or in retreat." β
"The library?"
Fang Yun was stunned when he heard this.
Seniors really deserve to be seniors.
Fang Yun remembered very clearly that at the beginning, he, Cheng Huo and the others were obviously the last batch of rookie disciples in the fortification room to select errands.
But I didn't expect that in the end, Chengsheng chose the 'library building', which is the most leisurely and at the same time, and at the same time can get in touch with countless exercise cheats.
The path of the predecessors is really wide enough.
In the Spirit Garden.
Thinking like this, Fang Yun planned to chat with Chengsheng a few more words, just to have a good relationship with him and ask for help in the future.
But when he fixed his eyes on Chengsheng, he found that Chengsheng had disappeared, so he said softly: "Senior? Senior, are you still there? β
β¦
Early the next morning.
In the Haoyue General Library Pavilion.
Just like the previous few days, Shengsheng is still on the second floor of the library today, silently reading books about the history of this world, or some anecdotes.
After a while, a voice suddenly sounded from the first floor of the library.
"First time in the library?"
"The books on the first floor can be borrowed at will, as for the books on the second floor. Each disciple in the Haoyue Sect is not allowed to borrow more than two books per month. β
This voice with a lazy feeling, Cheng Sheng only heard it and knew that it was Elder Cheng who was in charge of managing the library pavilion.
He ignored it and continued to flip through the books in his hand.
Soon, Elder Cheng's voice sounded again.
And this time, Elder Cheng's tone became strange when he spoke: "Hehe, you kid has a good eye, since you picked up this ancient book, it means that you have a relationship with him, this ancient book has a lot of legends, especially his mystery." β
"It is said that those who can obtain this ancient book will have a great opportunity to create it, presumably your kid is a person with this kind of chance temperament!"
What's going on with Elder Cheng?
Hearing the success of Elder Cheng's voice, he couldn't help frowning.
- When Elder Cheng spoke just now, he always gave him the feeling that he was reciting a book and reciting lines, as if he was an NPC that had been triggered by the dialogue mechanism, which made people feel embarrassed unconsciously when he heard it.
In short, it is impossible for a normal person to speak like this
I felt strange in my heart, and I was now concentrating on eavesdropping on the movement downstairs.
The first floor of the Library Pavilion.
'Click, click! β
As soon as Elder Cheng's words fell, he heard a young disciple grit his teeth and say, "Dare to ask seniors, what is unusual about this ancient book in the kid's hand?" β
As a deep diving monk, he has excellent hearing.
He could easily hear it: the two strange sounds of 'click' just now were the sound of the young disciple gritting his teeth.
I don't know why this disciple has to grit his teeth before speaking.
Isn't this pure and sick?
The most bizarre thing is that the tone in which this young disciple speaks is also like an endorsement.
Elder Cheng called the young disciple 'kid', and it didn't matter.
The young disciple didn't even use 'I' but 'kid' for his own self-title.
If Chengsheng is reading a book from God's point of view, then the young disciples in the book will call themselves 'kids', and that's fine.
After all, there are always some authors who lack pen power and don't have the brains to think about the actual situation to write so awkwardly, which is normal.
But it's in the real world!
It feels weird for a person to call themselves 'brat' in the real world instead of 'I'.
Out of curiosity, Cheng Huo continued to eavesdrop on the second floor.
I only heard Elder Cheng reply to the young disciple: "Boy, don't you know, the old man has been in charge of the library here for many years, and he knows the origin of every exercise secret book here. β
"The ancient book in your hand caused a sensation in the entire Rongguo back then, it was formed by a ray of light falling from outside the sky, and before you got this ancient book, no one in the entire Haoyue Sect could unlock the mystery of this ancient book."
Blame!
It's weird!
Hearing the success here, I couldn't help but go downstairs.
He asked Elder Cheng, "Elder Cheng, after getting along with each other in the past few days, you have always given me the impression that you are the kind of person who doesn't like to talk much. β
As he spoke, he looked at the young disciple and said, "Why do you suddenly want to tell this senior brother so much today, about what kind of ancient books?" β
"And what Elder Cheng just called this senior brother, why is he so dignified that he suddenly wants to call someone else 'kid'?"
"In my impression, Elder Cheng seems to have never called someone like that."
Elder Cheng was stunned by Cheng Sheng's words.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly said, "Yes. How did I just come up with the idea to say those things? β
There are strange things in this world.
After seeing Elder Cheng's reaction, Cheng Huo only felt that he seemed to have grasped some very important clues at this moment.
Thinking like this, Cheng Sheng turned his head again and looked at the 'ancient book' that the young disciple was holding in his hand.
ββJust as Chengsheng guessed, the ancient book in the young disciple's hand was also surrounded by a burst of 'emotional power'.
Not surprisingly, this ancient book may also be a treasure.
It may not be considered for survival, but at least for the young disciple who only cultivates in the Qi refining period, it is a treasure.
And from Elder Cheng's inexplicable words just now, it is not difficult to see:
Just now, there seemed to be a force deliberately guiding Elder Cheng to 'help' the young disciple to obtain the ancient books.
I just don't know what the purpose of that force is.
β¦
After the young disciple borrowed the ancient books, he went back to the second floor of the library to read books.
Before you know it, it's noon.
It's time for lunch.
Although there are Bigu Pills in the Haoyue Sect, which can be eaten by disciples, and each Bigu Pill can ensure that the person who takes it does not need to eat for three days.
However, most monks still prefer to eat ordinary food to satisfy their appetites.
Therefore, in addition to the distribution of Bigu Dan, Haoyue Sect also has a dining room for eating.
Cheng Huo read a book on the second floor for a morning, only to feel that the cravings in his stomach attacked, so he walked towards the Haoyue Sect dining room.
On the way, Chengsheng passed through a spiritual rice field.
He found that Senior Brother Tanaka was teaching a new miscellaneous disciple.
The so-called miscellaneous disciples are those who do not have any attributes in the 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth', but only have no attribute spiritual roots.
Such disciples have almost no qualifications, and can only start as a miscellaneous servant like a mortal.
Therefore, they are called 'miscellaneous disciples'.
The senior brother of the sect said to the miscellaneous disciples: "You should hurry up and cultivate the 'Cloud Spreading Rain Technique', this batch of spirit plants is almost mature, you only have a month to learn, understand?" β
I saw the three of them nodding like chickens pecking rice.
The senior brother said again: "Get out!" There are empty houses near this Lingmi Field, you can choose your own place to live, and there are miscellaneous clothes in the room, and you will change into them from tomorrow! β
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to go to places other than the miscellaneous disciples without permission, if you dare to violate, I will break your legs, remember!"
PS: Some of the awkward dialogues in this chapter are excerpted from the starting point new book list. (It's more embarrassing, it's too much of a witty dialogue, I really don't imitate it, let's make do with it!)
