05040 - maybe a living fossil

How old is Yang Xixing, do you care about age so much?In the case of ghosts, including the time before they became conscious, they may be hundreds of thousands or even billions of years old, and the most extreme situation is probably the same as the age of the planet.Think about it, okay?It would be more interesting if the age is older than this planet and the body is from an alien.

It doesn't seem impossible?

Yang Xixing: "Master Pei, you look at me a little strangely..."

can you?I just look at you and imagine you are a living fossil.

Me: "Senior Yang, did you witness the birth of this star? It must be a magnificent scene, right? Most of the materials are simulations based on theoretical data, and we can only roughly know what the process is, but they are not enough to reflect the process. A sense of shock; even if there are fragments of the birth of other planets recorded in some materials, because they are fragments, they are not enough to accumulate the overall power."

Me: "The long process of the birth of a planet, if you feel it in person...maybe it will be less shocking than looking at the information? Because the change is long, and it only changes a little every day. At first glance, it seems that there is no change, which is boring. To make the viewer fall into a deep sleep easily? At least tens of thousands of times faster is suitable for viewing."

Yang Xixing: "...I'm not that old."

Yuan Yongan: "You can continue to hide it and let Pei Lin let his imagination run wild. He should soon guess that you witnessed the birth of the universe."

Yang Xixing was tangled.

Yuan Yongxiu: "Since you are humble to me, then come and pay off my debt first, and see if you can get extra benefits from my debt repayment."

Me: "Senior Yuan, if you finish repaying the debt, will you leave? No longer cooperate with the other three groups in repaying the debt? Let me alone as a human being and the four non-humans?"

Yuan Yong said: "Yes. Are you really afraid?"

Me: "Afraid. I need your checks and balances on them."

Yuan Yong: "You can invite one of your fellow students to act with you."

Me: "Who should I invite? Find a senior with a particularly high level of cultivation to form absolute pressure on everyone? In that case, will the four fellow Taoists still be willing to take me to a wonderful place? If I don't judge from my level of cultivation, I can still What is the basis for judging? I don't know the four of them at all. I accidentally discovered that you, Senior Yuan, formed a check and balance with the four of them, so I wanted to take advantage of this coincidence or opportunity, and I was not willing to let go easily."

Yuan Yong: "If you can show me enough benefits, I might not abandon you."

05041 - try first

Yuan Yongan: "Let me remind you, I may not be tempted by the benefits that the four of them can provide you. It doesn't necessarily mean that the benefits themselves are not high enough. The point is that you already know that my exercises are not compatible with non-human beings. Non-human interests are of no value to me, and may even be harmful."

Me: "Senior Yuan, why don't you take this opportunity to make some changes? Benefits are benefits, and the biggest distinguishing factor is position, not innate attributes that can be changed. Spiritual beasts can use human beings by turning into demon cultivators." Can martial arts and other interests really strictly distinguish between human and non-human? Senior Yuan, you have always been limited by martial arts and watched the part of the benefits that belong to non-humans in your definition pass by in front of you but you were unable to use them. Will it hurt?"

Me: "When your cultivation base was still low, you didn't dare to change the exercises easily, because your immature changes may cause you to be injured and hinder your cultivation. You can become a master to teach students. What is a "master"? One understanding is that he can find the most suitable method for the student. Change the way of thinking, if you accept yourself as a student, then the current you Then you can optimize the exercises that are more suitable for you.”

Me: "If the exercises you practiced before have bound you, then you should make changes."

Yuan Yong didn't answer the call.

Me: "Maybe you think I'm fooling you in order to find help for myself, but you have to admit that my statement is logical. Even if you still don't believe it, you might as well try it first, and when you find it really doesn't work, Leave again. Anyway, if you insist on leaving, my cultivation will definitely not be able to stop you, and if the other four really have malicious intentions towards me, then you, who can check and balance them, will definitely not stop you from leaving."

Yuan Yong said: "Okay, let's try first."

Yang Xixing: "Try it and then you will be completely devoted to Young Master Pei, just like being convinced by Senior Yuan Jinxi."

Yuan Yong: "Don't guess if you don't know anything about it."

Yang Xixing: "Am I wrong? Back then, your cultivation stagnated for a long time, and Senior Yuan Jinxi's slight suggestions made you break through the bottleneck and your cultivation base immediately rose a lot. After that, you followed Senior Yuan Jinxi. Because After you practiced with him, you didn’t encounter stuckness again, so you firmly believed that Senior Yuan Jinxi was your chance, and you were devoted to him. No matter what he asked you to do, you felt that it was the benefit of your cultivation, so you did things Highly motivated until recent years."

Yang Xixing: "You feel stuck again. This time senior Yuan Jinxi's advice didn't work immediately, so you began to question him and look for new opportunities. Young Master Pei is one of the possible candidates you think, because It was after getting in touch with Young Master Pei that Senior Yuan Jinxi's request for you lost the benefit of cultivation that was obvious in the past."

05042-Smooth logic

Yang Xixing: "It's a pity, what can you give to Young Master Pei? Senior Yuan Jinxi needs someone to do things, so he is willing to let you follow him, but Young Master Pei has no shortage of servants, so even if you want to do things for Young Master Pei, you will It is very likely that you will not get the slightest order from Young Master Pei. So when you finally stand in front of Young Master Pei with the excuse of debt, you take Joe to increase Young Master Pei's interest in you, so that you can have more contacts in the future, preferably Just like Senior Yuan Jinxi couldn't do without you, Young Master Pei couldn't do without you. You are very confident in your own ability to handle affairs, and the ability to do things well for Huashenqi can be used on Jindanqi, You believe that you can become Young Master Pei's confidant."

Yuan Yong said: "It's a bunch of nonsense."

Yang Xixing: "I think the logic makes sense. What does Young Master Pei think?"

Me: "It's true, but whether it's true or not needs to be tested."

Yang Xixing: "When our batch of debts is settled, Young Master Pei will probably get the answer."

Me: "I'm looking forward to it."

Yang Xixing: "If Fellow Daoist Yuan leaves halfway, it's because he didn't see an opportunity in Pei Shao to rival Senior Yuan Jinxi, so he will turn back and stay with Senior Yuan Jinxi for the time being until a new miracle comes. But this The expectations are very hopeless. At the Nascent Soul stage, you still pin your hope of upgrading on others, do not do things according to your own mood, but only interpret opportunities in the instructions of others. What a loss of self. Do you want to continue to improve your cultivation?"

Yuan Yong said: "You can question me after your cultivation base surpasses mine."

Yang Xixing: "My cultivation base is above yours. You can only say that my attack power does not match my cultivation base, and I am a lame Nascent Soul Stage, but you cannot say that I am not a Nascent Soul Stage."

Yuan Yongan: "It's not just your attack power that doesn't match your cultivation. Except for an infant, you don't match the Nascent Soul stage anywhere."

Yang Xixing: "If I blew myself up, I would still have the destructive power of the Nascent Soul's peak."

Yuan Yong looked at Luo Shuangman and said, "It's useless to explode yourself."

Luo Shuangman: "I will not blow myself up."

Yuan Yong: "Of course you don't need to blow yourself up."

Me: "If you keep arguing like this, by the time this batch of debts is over, I may have understood all your weaknesses."

Yuan Yongan: "Do you know what is the most desperate thing? You know where your enemy's weakness is, but you can't hit that weakness, and you can only watch yourself being killed by the enemy. Weakness is a relative concept. For example, everyone knows that if Your father betrayed you, and you will probably be so painful that you will be destroyed directly, but how can others take advantage of this? This kind of 'knowing' is meaningless, because it is not feasible."

Me: "It's not so absolute. If I saw my father betraying me in the illusion, I might collapse to death?"

Yuan Yong: "It's more likely that you have seen through the illusion."

Me: "That makes sense."

Yuan Yong said: "Come with me, and start paying off the debt."

05043-The mystery of repelling inhumans

Yuan Yongan led us to fly over dozens of cities, flying out a three-dimensional figure that should have a certain meaning, and then the space in front of us suddenly distorted, and then we arrived at the sky above a city that should be a secret place.

Yuan Yongan: "This is a secret realm that excludes inhumans very much. The residents here think that ghosts are what they hate the most, but the ghosts they define are actually spirits in the main world."

Yuan Yong pointed to the area under our feet: "This pile of buildings, and a place farther away, there is a building similar to this one. It is a memorial site for the local people's historical pain, and it is written about their relationship with spirits. Struggle. A long struggle process, in the end, they can be regarded as winning, but they don't know how they won, it's like luck."

Yuan Yongyu: "If they want to thank, they may have to thank Yan Xingmen. Unfortunately, they don't know what Yanxingmen has done in it, and Yanxingmen doesn't mean to ask for credit. Of course, Yanxingmen can't claim credit, because they, Or to be precise, she is only one person. The initial purpose of doing this is not to help the residents of this secret realm solve the disaster. They benefited at the same time, if they are unlucky, they might collapse together with the secret realm."

Yang Xixing: "It's not that easy to destroy a secret realm. The thinner the aura is, the higher the stability is actually. Ruin this secret realm, if her influence on this secret realm is only incidental, then she will not be able to shake the cornerstone of this secret realm."

Yuan Yongyu: "Maybe, I just heard about it. The purpose of my coming here this time is to get the energy of this secret realm to fight against spirits, that is, to contain the energy of spirits. I can't eat all of this energy, so the extra part is I have paid the debt to Yunxiazong. Don't worry, the 'excess part' is a huge amount, and I took away only a small part. As for Pei Lin, how much you can take for Yunxiazong depends on your ability. I will help you to show my sincerity in repaying the debt."
