Chapter Eighteen: The Heart of the World(1/2)
"In this world, there are many times when there are not so many whys.
The simplest example is a series of problems caused by human body functions.
The more direct thing is hunger. When you are hungry, you are hungry. There is no reason. Because your body tells you that you are hungry and conveys it to your brain. Then it expresses this intention. You may touch your stomach unconsciously because there is
The abnormality forces you to pay attention. The stimulating information received by your brain is that you need some food to satisfy your hunger.
Without these foods, your hunger will make you make inappropriate small actions in the early stage, and even make you more and more decadent. Not to mention the recovery, if you don't get food for a long time, the whole person may be paralyzed and unable to do anything.
And then, if there is a piece of edible food, it is difficult not to gobble it up. Of course, if you have never been hungry, you will never know this kind of thing...
When I was young... hmm? Why didn't Li Jingyue come? Does anyone know why he didn't come? "
An old hand was leaning on a crutch and knocked on the ground, making a snapping sound. This was an old man wearing the blue clothes of Bailing Mountain's instructor. Around his waist was a white jade pendant, which was shaking.
, on his waist, shining brightly in the sunlight.
"No one knows?"
The old man knocked on the ground again and looked around the platform, "Ran Yi didn't come either... Does anyone know where Ran Yi went?"
Under the stage, Instructor Bai Lingshan needs to face a group of students who are listening to the lecture. Each of them is not very close to each other, and they are scattered and different, but they are always quiet. They use their spiritual power to lift themselves up, like
Floating in the air, while memorizing the knowledge in class in his own way, of course, it is also more casual. It is more like someone suggested to sit down and rest during a spring outing, and others just sat down casually. There is not so much rigor.
As a rule, this is a slightly larger platform with rockery and real water, and you can even hear the chirping of birds and animals.
"Although Bai Ling's memorial service will be held in two days...but aren't there still two days left? You still have to gather your thoughts. I know you are eager to return home, but you still need to listen to this lesson. Now let's talk about it
The attack motives of the known monsters are known. Disciples far away from home can also use them to defend themselves if they encounter monsters on the road..."
The old man swung his cane and displayed a blue spiritual image of a man wearing only his lower body clothes.
"In a sense, the motivation of Warcraft's attack is basically because he is hungry, or because he has invaded his territory. Of course, many times, for no reason, Warcraft beasts attack you, just like people need to eat.
In terms of instinct, this can be regarded as a body function. If I have to say it, it is that the monsters are infected with monsters. Whether they are mutant or crystalline monsters, they are all infected with the devil's energy, leading to the loss of reason, and even
It will reject the physical instinct we just talked about. In other words, they attack you at this time, not because they are hungry, and definitely not because you are weak in front of them. They can beat you to death in one go, but because they are infected.
If you are rid of the evil spirit, there are not so many reasons.”
"Teacher...if we look at the cause and effect analysis, isn't the infection with demonic energy...the reason why the monsters want to attack us? If this is the case, they attack us because they are hungry and have violated their territory.
Qi infection, this...isn't it?" The female disciple who raised her hand to ask looked confused: "Contradictory?"
"Zheng Yipeng...it's okay to have questions...but as I just said...there is no need for a reason for the demon beasts infected with demonic energy to attack us. There are not so many reasons. At this time, as disciples below the gold level, you
, the first thing is to protect yourself... Never act recklessly... Never listen to what other instructors say and attack head-on, because the demonic energy will be infected through the wound. Even if you escape death and save your life,
But as long as you are scratched by that monster and are not treated in time, it will be a matter of time before you become a walking zombie. The best way is to run away. Your own life is at stake. Next time, don’t ask such stupid questions and listen to the class carefully. I said
... There is no need for a reason or a reason for a monster to attack you. All you can do is either kill it or run away. Don't care whether it is hungry or not, and don't care whether you have entered its territory. What's more,
Don't think about whether you are infected by the devil, run away, there is no reason, and don't ask why."
The old man materialized the body and formed it into a real-sized man.
The female disciple named Zheng Yipeng turned back, shrugged to the other female disciple behind her, grinned helplessly, then turned her head and looked at the man's body seriously. In fact, this body looked more like it had no gender.
But it's not like a skeleton.
"All our medicines will first pass through our intestines and stomach..." The old man tapped the man's abdomen with his crutch, and a small sound appeared from the spiritual man's abdomen: "Mainly the stomach, whether it is medicine to save people
Even poisonous medicines need to be digested. Don't listen to those storytellers who say weird things. How can you say such a long love story after drinking a heart-breaking medicine or even die immediately? After taking a mouthful of magic medicine,
You'll be alive and kicking as soon as you're done. That's all a lie to you kids. No matter what kind of medicine it is, it needs to be digested through the intestines. Unless you take other fatal things, as long as it is taken orally, it will take one second.
Immediate effects are all fake. Of course, there may be some extremely bad poisonous drugs, or venom taken from certain creatures, which only need to enter your throat and fall down, that is, here
.”
The old man tapped the man's chest again with his crutch, and a small straight pipe emerged.
"It starts to be absorbed here, which will indeed be faster. But it won't kill you on the spot. It will be more of a painful struggle, and then you will die from the poison. The whole process is absolutely painful, and there is no medicine that can eliminate pain.
, because the poisonous medicine itself uses all kinds of strange substances to corrode your body from the inside. Cough cough cough..."
The old man coughed, then waved his hand to let everyone rest for a while. The old man patted himself on the back, picked up his cup, shook it, frowned, and walked down the platform.
The man's body slowly dissipated, and the blue light stars floated and disappeared into nothing.
"Let me tell you... With an honor student like you here, the old man won't be angry. Isn't this what I'm talking about..." A hand stretched out from the rockery next to it. Then there was a big head and a pair of sly eyes.
.
His voice was very low, and he stared at the resting disciples around him.
"This young master of Bailing Mountain has nothing to see at all... If it weren't for you... I would never go to see it... Really..." Ran Yi's big eyes slowly rose on the rockery, watching the old man walk down
.
"How did I know..." Li Jingyue jumped out of the rockery and jumped next to Zheng Yipeng.
Ran Yi soon followed, meditating quickly behind Li Jingyue to let himself float, and then began to arrange his clothes.
"Xiao Zheng! Xiao Zheng! The old man didn't say anything..." Li Jingyue also used his spiritual power to float in the air and sat upright.
"No...but I still mentioned it...for example, to calm down..." Zheng Yipeng was not surprised and touched his nose. Her appearance was decent, but her eyes were a little small, so she couldn't see
It doesn't look so aesthetically pleasing, but instead gives people a very strange feeling.
"Oh... the old man is always contradictory... so, to relax... that is to relax, he asked us to go out for a walk more... We are also very obedient, hahahahaha!" Li Jingyue was happy
Looking at Zheng Yipeng, he touched her shoulder. Ran Yi also looked at Zheng Yipeng, came to Li Jingyue and said, "Yipeng, what did the old man say?"
"I didn't say anything..." Zheng Yipeng shook his head and said helplessly: "Anyway, it's in vain...it makes sense now...it doesn't make sense the next...it's really contradictory...I
My heart and lungs almost stopped when I heard it..."
"Look, let's see..." Li Jingyue looked at Ran Yi with a proud face: "What should I say... As long as it is Mr. Zhang's class, it is a kind of torture in itself, no matter what poisonous medicine or magic medicine,
They were all put together, and they ask us to remember so many ghost medicines that can kill people...it’s just crazy!”
"Hey... you don't understand... We are in Bailing Mountain just like we are in paradise. There is no danger that can really approach us... But what we need to face is the world outside the mountain after all. Let's not care about the relationship between people.
The intrigues among the people, as well as the strange and infected monsters, are extremely difficult to deal with." As soon as Ran Yi started to speak, his breath became very steady, and he spoke every word.
"Oh, when I hear what you say, the people in the spirit world don't want to live anymore... There are so many terrifying monsters outside... Who can deal with them... If there is really one against a hundred, I guess it will be enough for them." Li Jingyue said.
He crossed his arms and muttered loudly.
"Oh... why did you quarrel as soon as you came here... Li Jingyue... give way to Ran Yi... he always bullies good kids!" Zheng Yipeng's voice rose. This kind of thing seemed to happen a lot. Li Jingyue closed his eyes.
Rest your eyes.
Zheng Yipeng hammered Li Jingyue's arm, then looked at Ran Yi and said with a oh, "Ran Yi, will you leave? Bai Ling paid homage... It's time for you to go home and take a look... It's been almost a year...
…”
"I don't want to go back..." Ran Yi didn't expect Zheng Yipeng to ask this, and looked at Li Jingyue hesitantly.
"You won't go back even after one year? Aren't your parents anxious?" Zheng Yipeng was a little confused.
"No... I have already agreed with them that I will not go back this year..." Ran Yi shook his head.
"Okay... If that's the case, then I'll go back alone... Do you need me to bring something back?" Zheng Yipeng looked at Ran Yi's big eyes seriously.
"Let me think about it..." Ran Yi touched his chin and nodded: "Yes... bring a letter..."
"Okay..." Zheng Yipeng sat upright.
Because she caught a glimpse of the old man already walking onto the podium.
I saw the old man placing the porcelain bowl and cup on the podium, and looking down the podium with a serious look.
"Li Jingyue, Ran Yi, did you oversleep? Why did you come so late?" The old man was leaning on a cane and looking menacing. Just these words made beads of sweat begin to form on Ran Yi's forehead.
"My cup was broken by someone else... I was wondering who would be so bored that he would use his psychic soul to break my cup. Do you have any clues?"
Li Jingyue and Ran Yi both stood up, and everyone else looked at them. Everyone was floating in the air, lifted up by the blue spiritual power. When these two people stood up, they became even more conspicuous.
Li Jingyue looked confused and even stood confidently with his arms crossed.
"I, Mr. Li, just skipped class... It's not that bad, so why bother... I definitely didn't do it..." Li Jingyue glanced at Ran Yi, and Ran Yi would never do this. Now
Ran Yi is just afraid of being named and punished. After all, he is a good student, and he will be afraid for a long time if he is punished.
"Do you know about Ran Yi?" The old man seemed to recognize these two people and kept staring at Li Jingyue.
"Ran Yi doesn't know." Ran Yi said his name, then lowered his head and looked at Li.
"It's okay if you don't know. You two will copy "One Thousand Medicines and One Hundred Solutions" to me. Forget it..." The old man took a sip of tea, which was obviously a new cup.
"Ah... Anyway, if you write it... you tear it up... you might as well not write it... you won't keep it as a souvenir..." Li Jingyue was obviously not shocked, because "All Medicines and One Hundred Solutions" itself
It is a super thick book with all kinds of strange detoxification methods and even folk remedies...
This amount is terrifying!
It is simply as terrifying as the punishment of falling into hell.
"So, Mr. Li can copy it twice, right? Then just write it twice, and I will treasure it..." The old man took another sip of tea and put down the water glass.
"Where's Ran Yi? Do you have any opinions?"
To be continued...
