08936- want to see but don't want to see

Xiao Sui: "Pluck all the fine down from this goose and make a fluffy hat for the master. It should be very cute for the master to wear."

Is it perhaps unethical to subject a creature to an unreparable, albeit non-injurious, loss for the sake of a cute ornament?

Pei Bing: "That just fits your style, Pei Lin."

In the end, Pei Jianzhuo and Mao Qiu let go of the goose.After the goose flapped its wings symbolically at the fur ball twice, it flew away.

Just after the goose flew away and only me and my soul connectors were left on Yaofeng, the big snake at the peak of Yuanying who had threatened me before swam over again, and once again yanked Yaofeng's shield with its tail.

I tried my best to keep my eyes on the big snake calmly, but I still couldn't help but feel a little empty-eyed—it's really hard for me to look directly at the snake's body surface lines, just like it's also hard for me to look directly at the myriad lizard.

When the big snake opened its mouth, if I ignored the slight hiss, its voice still didn't make me want to stay away.It said, "Make a deal."

Me: "Let's listen first."

Orochi: "Can you fix your eyes on me first? Or move away from me completely? Don't look at me for a second or two and turn away, and look at me again after a few seconds."

Me: "I feel uncomfortable staring at you all the time, and I feel too cowardly if I don't look at you all the time." It's okay to only use spiritual power to observe and guard against the activities of the big snake. From the perception of spiritual power, the big snake is just a huge, long Dangerous items in the shape of strips can be made into long cotton pillows in your brain. If you don’t pay attention to scales, patterns, etc., it will not be scary.

The big snake circulated its spiritual power slightly, making its scale patterns stand out in my perception of spiritual power.

I:"……"

Orochi: "It's the Nascent Soul stage. It can clearly disassemble me into energy problems in the sense of spiritual power, and can calmly contain me in the sense of energy, but it will also cause psychological discomfort to my scales that have no special damage ability." .”

Me: "Actually, you can understand it this way: I was made ugly by you. In my aesthetics, your appearance is called ugly. If a human has a face like yours, I also don't want to look directly at it."

08937-Recognize the value of existence

Big Snake's face was pressed against the shield, and he pressed inward, that is, he got a little closer to me, and asked, "Should the ugly monster take the initiative to avoid seeing other creatures?"

I couldn't quite tell if it was questioning, joking, or threatening.Its voice is not unpleasant, but its inherent coldness makes it impossible for me to understand its words in a warm direction.

Pei Jianzhuo: "There is a difference between the middle races. You and cats belong to two middle races in the small category, but in the big category they are both warm-blooded animals, while snakes are cold-blooded animals, and the difference is even further. Your current cross-middle race treats everyone equally. force may be limited to the range of warm-blooded animals."

So, when one day I am no longer afraid of snakes and happy to touch fellow daoist myriad lizards, my Nascent Soul cultivation will take a big step forward?Maybe even directly touch the threshold of becoming a god?

Pei Jianzhuo: "This is not necessarily the case, because it is hard to imagine that the disciples of the Acacia Sect will be kind to the ugly in their definition, and it is also difficult to imagine that they will be enthusiastic about the beautiful but inhuman scenery. Since it is said that the Acacia Sect is at the Nascent Soul level It has already reached the extreme, so the firm discrimination of the Hehuan Sect should be of reference value, right?"

I looked at the big snake and said: "I admit the value of your existence from the bottom of my heart, but I also sincerely don't want to get too close to you. I hope that the relationship between me and you can be maintained as 'each other knows that the other and myself exist in the same world. The state of being in the world, but not interacting with each other'."

Orochi: "If you made your own world, would you put something like me in your own world that you definitely don't like?"

I can."

Orochi: "So sure?"

Me: "Of course. As I said, I admit the value of your existence from the bottom of my heart. If I need to build a food chain in my world, why should I have to bypass your link? If the snake is removed from the main world, then Many food chains have to be reshaped. In addition, from a cultural perspective, the image of snakes also contains extremely rich content. If there is no accident, people's worship of dragons should also be mixed with fear of snakes."

Me: "Many emotions of living beings are actually interchangeable. Respect and awe, joy and sorrow, love and hate. If I insist on forcing a world full of things I like, I can't tolerate anything I don't like. Then the only result will be: liking turns to boredom. If I stay with my dad day and night and never separate for a moment, I can't think of him with joy every time."

Orochi: "Are you happy to think that he will punish you?"

Me: "Accepting punishment, reflecting on one's mistakes, and gaining inspiration that may lead to improvement, why not joy?"

08938-Snake Molt

Orochi: "I can feel that you are in a happy mood because of communicating with me now, but you still keep looking at me and can't help turning your eyes away."

Me: "I am really happy to have the opportunity to chat with seniors and have a deeper conversation, but this cannot shake my dislike for your appearance."

Big Snake: "Don't you like it if I peel off the skin and give it to you?"

Me: "I like it when I use it as a refining material and refine it to produce other appearances, but I don't like it if I just keep the original appearance."

Orochi: "What are the specific actions of dislike?"

Me: "Trade to someone who likes this thing? If you shout it on the Yunxia Sect intranet, there will always be people who will happily buy it. But if you don't allow the creatures who get this thing to process it, or ask for it to be processed The original pattern must also be preserved, so its value is very limited; and if you allow other creatures to process it beyond recognition, I can do it myself, so I don’t need to resell it to others.”

Big Snake: "The deal I want to make with you is that I will give you a copy of my snake slough. You can choose one of the snake sloughs in the late Nascent Soul and the Nascent Soul Tribulation, and you will have close contact with me. I mean , similar to the close-up where you touch my scales directly with your hands. After a full day of contact, you give me your 'fear' of the day, or if you prefer, all your moods for the day Give it all to me."

Me: "'mood'... how do I give it?"

Orochi: "So 'close encounters' are acceptable?"

Me: "As long as the benefits are big enough, of course, it's only a day after all. In a day, let alone just touching you with your hands, even if you attack me, it's not a big deal for me to hide for a whole day I think I took advantage of this little price for a Nascent Soul-level snake slough.”

Orochi: "I will not attack you. Once I attack you, it will turn into a matter of energy, and you will not be afraid. It is only in a static, leisurely environment that your attention can be increased landed on my exterior, eliciting your superficial fears."

Big Snake: "Also, when I say 'a piece of snake slough', I mean a section from a complete snake slough and I don't give you the whole thing. 'A section' can be big or small, it depends on your performance."

Me: "Based on your size, no matter how small it is, can it be used as a quilt for me? If it's smaller, can you take it out?"

Big Snake: "Yes, if it's smaller, I might as well give you a few scales."

08939-Connection method

Me: "So, how can I give you my mood? Will it hurt me? For example, after I hand it over to you, I will forget my mood for this day? Amnesia? Although my memory is very complicated, and it seems innocuous to lose it for a day or two, I still don't want to lose it, and I'm very stingy with 'my things'."

Orochi: "Don't worry, you won't lose your memories and feelings. In fact, your impression of your memories and feelings on this day will be particularly strong. Because I intend to use my spiritual power strands to temporarily form a similar to yours." The connection of soul connection can be used to perceive each other's many subtle moods. When the two moods are similar to a certain extent, there will be a certain resonance, which will expand your original mood to three to five times or even ten times. above."

Orochi: "The connection of the spiritual thread is much easier to solve than the connection of the soul. When we started connecting, we set the time and disconnected immediately when the 24 hours came, without any delay. During these 24 hours, And if you have a serious discomfort, like a feeling of fear that has almost become your demon, the connection will also break down."

Orochi: "This connection is the same as a serious soul connection. It is a two-way connection. If you don't accept it, you will definitely not be able to connect. It is gentler than the soul connection. You regret it after accepting it, and you can release it easily without damage at any time. Its connection And the threshold for removal is very low.”

Me: "I've heard of similar connection methods, but is it really enough to convey subtle emotions? The principle of transmission should be: one party's emotional fluctuations are reflected on the spiritual power, causing spiritual power fluctuations, and the other party receives the spiritual power Fluctuations, and then reversely interpret the emotional fluctuations. This is very different from the direct empathy of the soul connection, and it is easy to misinterpret due to the influence of one's own inherent concepts when interpreting the other party's emotions."

Me: "For example, in your eyes, snakes must be beautiful and ugly, so can you really understand the emotion that snakes are ugly in my eyes?"

Orochi: "If you are in the Golden Core stage or the ordinary Nascent Soul stage with poor spiritual consciousness, there may indeed be problems of interpretation errors, but the reality is that you are the first batch of strong gods who can participate in the new punishment project of the Disciplinary Office. Recognize the Nascent Infant Stage."

Me: "Didn't you say that this method is a pure spiritual connection?"

Orochi: "The connection is indeed pure spiritual power, but besides the connection, there is also the assistance of the spiritual consciousness. How can you completely separate the spiritual power and the spiritual consciousness? Analogously, if you hold hands with a person, wouldn't that Could it be just about the hands? Could it have nothing to do with the rest of your body?"

Me: "Holding hands, if you need to forcefully separate them under extreme circumstances, the damage will be cut off at most, and if you don't cut off your hands, then other parts of the body that are connected to the hands will be bound near the held hands."

Orochi: "That's pretty much what it means. The spiritual power thread is used to transmit emotions. In the worst case, it only needs to break the spiritual power thread. As long as the spiritual power thread put into the connection behavior is controlled below a certain amount from the beginning, then No matter how you break it or who it is, it will not cause irreparable damage to yourself, but when you don't break it, there are many things you can use to do."

Orochi: "This is the significance of the bridge. It doesn't bind all related things, but it gives a lot of opportunities for things to come and go, and it is easier to control whether it is disconnected or not and the loss after disconnection."
