Chapter 1163 Teaching the Fa and Preaching (1)
Although the tone of the bookstore owner seemed very sincere, making people feel that the other party was not lying, Xu Changqing knew very well that the other party was not telling the truth, at least not completely telling the truth, whether it was his organization or the black claws as a hostile force.
On the surface, the bookstore owner's introduction to Black Claws should be considered very detailed. At least he already knows the strength and functions of Black Claws from his words, but Xu Changqing could feel that this black claw is definitely not as simple as the bookstore owner said. He didn't know whether he was deliberately concealing it or not even he himself was not very clear.
The information about Black Claws is so scarce, let alone the information organized by the bookstore owner. The only information that is useful to Xu Changqing is the only one of the Rebels.
"Why do you want to resist the Heavenly Palace?" Xu Changqing could guess something, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is life now not good?"
"Because we want to survive." The bookstore owner who had already put down most of his vigilance removed the defensive talisman on his outer cloak, revealing his figure, and fully revealed the resentful expression on his face, saying, "You are all blinded by the Heavenly Palace, just like everyone else. Yes, the Heavenly Palace does provide all our lives. Even if we don't do anything, we won't starve to death. But have you ever thought that the Heavenly Palace takes care of us so much at all costs, is it really free?"
Although the bookstore owner's tone was very excited, Xu Changqing could feel that his emotions were actually very calm, and the fluency of his words showed that this was not the first time he said it.
"What do you mean? Is there any other problem?" Xu Changqing was not very skilled in language in this world, so he could only find some simple words to ask back. It was his inexperienced language that made the identity of a secluded hunter he used to disguise more convincing.
Xu Changqing cooperated with this replies, and the bookstore owner was naturally very happy. He immediately followed the question and said, "Of course there is a problem. This question is taught to us in the Heavenly Palace, which allows us to practice since childhood."
"Divine Law?" Xu Changqing continued to pretend to be puzzled and said, "What's the problem with the divine law? I have been practicing and feel good. With the help of the divine law, I can survive alone in the forest and hunt various preys."
"This is the most terrifying thing about the guys in the Heavenly Palace. If they can use you until they die, you still cannot feel anything wrong, and you will thank them from the bottom of your heart." The owner of the bookstore raised his tone a lot, and his face showed unconcealed sadness. It seemed that he had thought of something bad, but he quickly calmed down his emotions and asked again: "Do you know why our lifespan is so short? We are almost considered long-lived by the age of fifty. No matter how strong the lifespan is, the lifespan cannot be changed. Some of the strange beasts we hunted are obviously weak and cannot be compared with us at all, but most of them have a lifespan far exceeding us."
"I know this." Xu Changqing did not give the bookstore owner another chance to show his eloquence, and deliberately made it clear.
"Actually...uh! What did you say just now?" The bookstore owner was preparing to continue to persuade Xu Changqing and took this opportunity to pull him into the resistance organization he was in. But what he didn't expect was that the other party did not play according to the cards and gave an answer that was completely beyond his expectations. After a moment of stunnedness, he couldn't help asking: "What do you know?"
Xu Changqing said with a relaxed look: "I know why our lifespan is short, and why the lifespan of those strange beasts is long."
"How could you know? How could this be possible?" The bookstore owner questioned in disbelief.
"How is it impossible?" Xu Changqing asked back, and then continued: "The problem you want to talk about is that if we cast spells frequently, it will affect our lifespan, right?"
"You really know." The bookstore owner stopped questioning now, but the incredible expression on his face was still retained, and it became even stronger. Obviously, he never thought that the big secret that everyone had not discovered in millions of years was discovered by an ordinary hunter, and it seemed that the other party did not take it seriously.
"This is not a difficult task. As long as you live in the forest for a long time and observe carefully, you will find this." Xu Changqing pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "In fact, this incident was discovered when I was very young. Among the strange beasts I hunted, the fewer the strange beasts that were experiencing their power. The absolute majority of strange beasts will only escape when they encounter attacks. They will fight back desperately unless they are inseparable. Moreover, if those strange beasts that fight back desperately are dragged for a longer time, they will age quickly and eventually be captured by me."
Hearing Xu Changqing's explanation, the bookstore owner opened his mouth and said nothing, and was completely stunned. His eyes looked at Xu Changqing as if he was looking at some monster.
Although the bookstore owner asked himself after listening to Xu Changqing's words, if he had substituted himself for this hunter identity without knowing anything, it would be very difficult to discover the divine trap deliberately concealed or deliberately created by the Heavenly Palace.
As a member of the resistance organization, he knew very well that the person in front of him might just be an extremely lucky example, because judging from the information collected by the organization in various state and prefectures, it is obvious that no one except them knew about this.
The reason why no one in the lower class of the state prefectures has discovered this secret is not only because the Heavenly Palace is hindering or hiding it, but also because there is an invisible force in this world that affects their thoughts, even if they discover some problems, they will involuntarily ignore the past.
It was also a coincidence that their organization was able to discover this shocking secret. It is said that the discovery of this secret was related to the war that almost destroyed the Heavenly Palace many years ago, and the main reason for the discovery was also because of the powerful invader.
Now there was a person in front of him who could discover such a big shocking secret from the strange beast with just a little observation ability, and act so calmly and disapprovingly, which really made him feel speechless.
The strange emotion in his heart drove the bookstore owner to ask, "Aren't you angry or afraid?"
"Why are you angry? Why are you afraid?" Xu Changqing pretended to be confused and smiled: "You are angry because the people above deceived us and concealed the secret, right? But have you ever thought that the above has always given us opportunities. Isn't setting up a position of a deserted scholar to help us transcend? As long as you become a deserted scholar, you should be able to know this secret and have a way to extend your life. As for fear, it is because there is no solution to this problem, but if there is a solution, you will naturally not be afraid anymore."
The bookstore owner always feels that Xu Changqing's words sounded very reasonable, but they felt something was wrong, and he couldn't find any words to refute for a while. However, at this moment, he fully believed that the person in front of him was definitely not the black claws of the Heavenly Palace, because the hidden dangers about divine laws were a taboo even among the deserted men. They were not allowed to be discussed or investigated. If the person in front of him was a black claw, then even if he made contributions in the aftermath, he would be punished by the Heavenly Palace because of the content of these conversations now, and the content of the punishment was likely to be directly erased, so the black claws with a little brain would not do anything to seek death in order to gain the trust of others.
The bookstore owner who relaxed his vigilance removed his magic power and the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed. At this time, he suddenly thought of something and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency just said that if there is a solution to the problem, you will naturally not be afraid. Could it be that you have found this solution?"
"Yes, I do have a way to solve the problem of the reduction of lifespan due to casting spells." Xu Changqing laid so much before, and was waiting for the question the other party asked now, so he nodded without hesitation and admitted.
The bookstore owner was shocked again by Xu Changqing's answer, and the shock was even better than the previous answer. He could not speak for a long time after opening his mouth.
No wonder he had such a strong reaction, because their organization has been looking for solutions to this hidden danger, but the best way to date is to cast as few spells as possible, reduce the cultivation time as possible, and other negative and passive methods.
Now a hunter who came out of nowhere. The hunter didn't even know the word before and couldn't even say a word. Now he told him that he had solved a big problem that plagued tens of thousands of strong men in the organization. Such a thing could not be imagined even if anyone could imagine it.
However, while his heart was full of doubts, he faintly felt in his heart that what the other party said might be true. After all, the other party also discovered the defect of divine magic that had been hidden by the Heavenly Palace for countless years with his own power.
The bookstore owner opened his mouth and wanted to ask Xu Changqing what the method was to solve the lifespan problem, but when he thought about the preciousness of this method, he felt that the other party might not be able to say it, so he closed his mouth again, but his mind was quickly considering how to keep the other party so that higher decision makers in the organization would convince the other party.
The emotions of the bookstore owner were completely written on his face, and Xu Changqing easily saw through his thoughts at the moment. With such a best chess piece in front of him, Xu Changqing naturally had no reason to let go, so he directly pointed to the other party's key points and said, "Do you want to learn?"
"Ah?" The bookstore owner didn't react for a moment and looked at Xu Changqing blankly, not understanding his intentions.
