Me: "When Senior Wan Changshun threw me away, he never thought that he might need me again soon, and when he needed it, I might hide in Yunxiazong so that he could not use it? For example, I have been nesting in Yunxiazong for ten years ?”

Elder Guanghe: "It's only been ten years? Just take a nap and it will pass."

Me: "Although ten years is not a long time for Da Neng, it would be a bit embarrassing to waste it in vain, right? Obviously it should not have been wasted."

Elder Guanghe: "Let's put it this way, for example, the next time he will use you is next year, and now there will be a ten-year interval between throwing you away and catching you back again, then he will definitely choose the latter. Put an unusable thing in front of him One year and nine more years, the latter feels much more comfortable."

Elder Guanghe: "It's better to put an unused thing in front of me for one day or to wait another ten years."

Me: "Based on the average life expectancy of 400 years in the Mahayana period, ten years is one in 640, which is equivalent to fifty or sixty days of a hundred-year-old person, and one day of [-] years is equivalent to one hundred Twenty minutes for a year-old, in order to save twenty minutes, wait fifty or sixty days more?"

Elder Guanghe: "Fifty or sixty days is not just for waiting for you, there are many other things to do. When Wan Changshun just thought of needing you, you only occupied a little bit of his attention. Waiting for you Before the sense of existence in his heart ferments to the point of urgency, he has already used you up."

Me: "If my sense of existence grows faster than expected, and he desperately needs me again before he catches me, will he regret throwing me away so easily?"

Elder Guanghe: "No. Every decision is made based on the current, previous and predictable future situations, without considering unfounded 'what ifs'."

Me: "Is 'feeling' a basis?"

Elder Guanghe: "Forget it. If Wan Changshun feels ominous when he thinks about throwing you, he will be unable to do so, and then he may not throw you. After all, 'obstructing the eyes' is a feeling, 'ominous' ’ is also a feeling, and it depends on which feeling prevails.”

Me: "Does Senior Wan hate having someone he doesn't need poking in front of him so much?"

Elder Guanghe lowered his voice, and said in a very mysterious tone, as if a counterfeit drug dealer on the street was trying to lure a fat sheep: "This is a person who hides, has been invisible for a long time, does not leave any real traces everywhere, and almost only exists. A legend in people's memory."

Me: "Why so mysterious?"

Elder Guanghe's voice returned to normal, and he pretended to be flat and replied: "Of course it's because of Tao."

Me: "Mysterious way?"

Elder Guanghe: "It's okay if you want to name it that way."

Me: "Can the Tao be named at will, whether it is correct or not?"

Elder Guanghe: "Of course. Call it whatever you want."

04917 - There are indications

Me: "The name of a Tao is just like a person's name. In fact, it does not reflect the complete characteristics of a person or a Tao. It is just a title?"

Elder Guanghe: "Yes. So it's okay for you to call your Dao the Dao of Beauty and Humanity, no matter what the actual connotation of your Dao is, you can call it that."

Me: "There is no necessary connection between my naming and the way others will call me in the future? Is it equivalent to the distance between the official name and the common name?"

Me: "Why did Senior Wan misjudge me as the inheritor of Qi'an Jiuning? Even if someone misleads him, there must be other real characteristics in me that strengthen this misleading right? What is the 'Huaxi' that Senior Wan said? ? Is it some kind of name for a place I've been or something I've touched?"

Me: "Fortunately, Qi'an and Jiuning are the standard names, and Senior Wan didn't give them another name, otherwise I would be even more confused. There are a lot of troubles if the names are not uniform. Is Senior Wan a casual cultivator?"

Me: "Which race is Senior Wan? Human? Demon cultivator? Lingbao? Ghost cultivator? Spiritual monster? Secret realm? Or other races?"

Junior Uncle: "You ask so many questions at once, do you really want to hear the answer?"

Me: "If you can write the answers to every question in the jade slip, and then give the jade slip to me, I want it. Of course, I know it's unrealistic to expect you to answer in detail."

Elder Liu Jie: "Senior Wan Changshun, he should be a human monk."

Me: "Can this also 'should'?"

Elder Huigu: "Because of some of the occasions where he appeared, there are signs that he is of another race."

Me: "Proof?"

Elder Huigu: "Yes, at first glance, there is very solid evidence. Several races, including humans, have evidence."

Me: "Is there any race that has absolutely no evidence?"

Elder Huigu: "It doesn't seem to be. The ghost cultivator Meng Yi said Wan Changshun. When he mentioned this, Wan Changshun used another name. Meng Yi said that he thought Wan Changshun was suspicious of his kind."

Me: "Think? Suspected?"

Elder Huigu: "Although you haven't actually come into contact with that ghost Meng Di, it's easy to see some of his characteristics from the information. He doesn't talk nonsense. He mentioned Wan Changshun's way of expression, It means that Wan Changshun confuses him. It seems to be his own kind, but there is no evidence that Meng Yi can fully accept."

Me: "May I know what previous names Senior Wan had?"

Elder Huigu: "Wang Bold, Zhang Fugui, Cai Jinhua, etc."

Me: "...this naming style is quite... contextual."

Elder Huigu: "Zhao Yi, Li Er, Chen San..."

Me: "There are so many names..."

04918-gentle

Elder Huigu: "Every series. He seems to use a different name every time he appears. We can only judge from the style that he is the same person, but the style can be imitated and we can also cooperate."

Me: "Team?"

Elder Huigu: "Not ruled out, but your father thinks it's unlikely."

Me: "My father must have his basis for saying that."

Elder Huigu: "It's all just theoretical analysis. Unless Wan Changshun is caught and forced to confess, otherwise, it's just analysis, or guesswork."

Me: "Father, will you explain your analysis basis to me now, or will we have a private chat with father and son later?"

Dad: "Do I have to talk to you about this?"

Me: "You have been so gentle to me recently, can't you keep it?"

Dad: "When I hit you, my heart was also gentle."

...I feel that my father may indeed have talked about love when he got along with his two Taoist companions, and his falling in love is not just a matter of luck.

Dad: "It's been settled for a while, do you feel scared now?"

I was moved: "Father, your focus is too gentle. Don't be afraid, really, I am still a little eager to try, and even want to be kidnapped again. But if there is more concrete evidence to prove that Senior Wan will not hurt me It's even better."

Dad: "Judging from all the incidents that Wan Changshun is suspected of appearing now, he has never intentionally hurt anyone. Sometimes because of the extent of the incident itself, some injuries may be caused, but Wan Changshun chose to participate in the incident. Suitable, very suitable for the type of participation in this event, including suitable for cultivation."

Me: "So in theory, in the case of Senior Wan, I, who was forced into the situation, can guarantee my own safety?"

Dad: "And you don't need to use high-level teleportation symbols when you protect yourself."

Dad: "Relaxed?"

Me: "Relaxed completely."

Dad: "Okay, then you go out."

Me: "Is this the end of the surprise gift package that fell from the sky?"

Dad: "Surprises are only momentary, never too big. If some surprises make you feel big, it's usually just because you are delusional in the fright."

Me: "Can I ask one more question before I go out?"

Dad: "You can ask."

Me: "But the answer is not certain. Okay, I want to ask, if Senior Wan Changshun may be the collective name of a team—no matter how small the probability is—then, is it possible that this team is a sect? "

Dad: "Yes, it's possible. Okay, that's the end of the last question."

Me: "Not only let me finish asking the last question, but also simply answered this question for me, which is another surprise. I quit, you guys talk slowly, if..."

Elder Huigu gently interrupted: "Shut up."

Ok.

04919-Learning

After leaving the meeting hall, I was surrounded again. Everyone expressed that they believed in my safety, but they still wanted to see me for more peace of mind.

Me: "While we're watching, let's do something serious, shall we? I just learned about a language learning concept."

Most of the people left immediately.

... I haven't gotten to the point yet.

The other half said: "Don't pay attention to those scumbags in Chinese, what do you want to learn, Second Young Master?"

I don't want to learn, I just want to play.

Me: "Learn the language of spirit beasts..."

Seven words persuaded another group of people to leave, and now there is still a quarter of the original number left.

Me: "I want to systematically study the language of spirit beasts first." As for the study of the similarities and differences between the language of spirit beasts and human languages, let's talk about it later, otherwise there may not be many people left.

Hey, it doesn't matter if there are no leftovers?I'm going to learn from Beastmaster Peak, and Beastmaster Peak will definitely not back down because of the issues related to the language of spirit beasts...?

Beast Master: "Of course we can understand the language of our spirit beast, understand it accurately."

Me: "I can also understand my cats, but now I want to understand more generally, that is, when I meet strange spirit beasts, I can also understand what they are saying."

Beast Master: "Unfamiliarity means, I have seen its kind before, but I have never seen this one, or have I never seen its kind before?"

Me: "Is there a big difference between the two situations?"

Beastmaster: "Not necessarily. Although some spirit beasts belong to different races, they share the same language; however, there are also spirit beasts of the same or very similar races, but their language systems are very different."

Me: "Is it possible to quickly learn a language of spirit beasts that I have never been exposed to before? It is a language of spirit beasts that the entire system is unfamiliar to learners."

Beast Master: "The easiest way is to bind the soul of the learner to the spirit beast. The depth of the binding depends on the difficulty of the language. However, it is better to bind the spirit beast just for a language. , After using it up, it’s just that the deep level... the price may still be too high?"

Beast Master: "Which rare spirit beast language do you want to learn?"

Me: "A Dia. The language of Yan Ziqi's sister Yan Ziqi."
