Hou Zi didn't make a sound, just waiting on the spot, until a moment later the cicada heard two more knocks, which meant to let him get closer.
I did not choose to speak loudly because in such a banyan cave, sound wave transmission is a very dangerous way of communication. The sound waves will reverberate countless times in the complex structure of the banyan cave.
I don’t know what it is talking about, but it also triggers many banyan cave creatures that rely on sound waves to fly and cannot see, such as bats.
In such a deep cave, no one can guarantee whether there will be monster bats. Even if they can deal with them, they will cause huge group damage. They are here to find opportunities, not to kill the bats.
Even sword cultivators should respect nature and every creature in nature under different circumstances.
He cautiously approached Xiang Zhiwen and came to Xiang Zhiwen's side. He immediately noticed an inconspicuous inverted bell above his head - the tip of the milkstone, which was constantly condensing the aura of stone milk. Every moment, it could
It condenses into a drop and then falls into the spring water, imbuing the entire spring water with a trace of spiritual power.
"Did you see it? That's it! This is the source of the spiritual spring." Xiang Zhi asked excitedly.
Hou Zi observed carefully, even reached out and put a drop of it between his nose and smelled it, then put it in his mouth and tasted it, and finally inadvertently rubbed it in his eyes. It was not jadeite, but stone milk of another kind.
.
"This is the bridge you need, senior brother? Are you sure?"
Xiang Zhiwen nodded seriously, "I'm sure! I have been looking for such a bridge for several years to irrigate my Zifu seedlings, but you know that such heaven and earth spiritual creatures are rare in Splendid Continent, how many
Years have passed, but today I finally found it."
Hou Zi nodded and was very happy for him, although this thing was not his bridge.
"Two questions, one is whether senior brother you are trying to enter the realm right here? Or should you collect some stone milk and take it out to find a safe place?
Another question, do we need to go some distance further? See if this is the only place where stone milk can be condensed? Why do I think the stone milk here condenses a bit slowly? "
Xiang Zhi asked for some hesitation, "I need to study its properties carefully. It is estimated that this thing will be difficult to take out for a long time, so there is a high probability that I will rush here. As for continuing to search, I don't think I need a lot of stones.
Milk, you know, the reason why Qiaoyin is called Yin is because it has properties similar to medicine. You don’t need a lot of it, and it’s not for drinking.”
Hou Zi understood that the so-called Yin was more of a spiritual understanding guide, rather than the elixir Kufei, which required swallowing in large quantities.
But he still persisted, "Well, senior brother, you are here to appreciate it. I will continue to delve deeper, firstly to find if there is stone milk with higher quality and faster condensation, and secondly to see what else is inside?"
When Xiang Zhi asked, he understood that his brothers were worried about his safety. They had checked on the way here and there were no problems, but it was hard to say whether there might be something inside. The safest way was of course to find out, at least.
Leave enough distance to ensure safety.
"Okay, I'll thank you for the hard work, but my opinion doesn't have to go too far. It won't take more than two seconds. What do you think?"
Hou Tsang joked, "I just wanted to go forward for a moment. I am a timid person and am most afraid of walking at night."
Continuing forward, I borrowed the bead from Xiang Zhiwen and stuffed it into my crown. It was very convenient and could be clearly seen within a few feet from the front, back, left, and right.
Go all the way down and observe whether there are any places where the spiritual milk is dripping, especially whether there are any signs of human monk activity around.
To his surprise, even after walking out for more than two minutes, he did not find the second stalactite that condensed the spiritual milk; there was still nothing that did not belong to nature, even a pile of fuel and a series of footprints.
, a leftover object.
The inside of the Banyan Cave is clean, because no one has entered or exited it for a long time, and no wind and sand can invade such a deep underground. The water is crystal clear and the rocks are as smooth as mirrors. It forms its own ecology and is completely isolated from the disturbances of the outside world.
Hopefully their coming in this time won't change that.
Hou Zi returned to his original position, Xiang Zhiwen still closed his eyes and concentrated for a long time before he opened his eyes.
"did not find?"
"did not find."
Xiang Wen smiled and said, "This is expected, because the miracles of the Creator have one thing in common, that is, they will never be repeated."
Hou Zi looked at him, "Decided?"
Xiang Zhiwen sighed with satisfaction, "It's decided. In fact, I already had an intuition from the moment I walked in here. This is the most suitable place for me. It matches my five elements attributes and Zifu's view. Now I have it again.
Spiritual creatures of heaven and earth like Stone Spirit Milk are already perfect, I shouldn’t ask for more.”
Hou Zi stood up and said, "I will protect you."
He was not polite to ask, "Thank you, but there is no need to be in such a hurry. Let's chat a few more words."
Hou Zi laughed and said, "Senior brother, you still have the heart to chat? I'm afraid I can't wait any longer."
Xiang Zhiwen began to take things from the treasure gourd and sorted them out one by one. "Chatting can relax me, but there are still some things I can't let go of. For example, my wife gave birth to a child before I came..."
Hou Zi didn't want to chat with him, because he felt that the atmosphere was not right and a little sad. This should not be the mood that a monk facing a certain situation should have. And he couldn't figure it out, so he could only try to change the atmosphere.
It's easier.
"This is really good news. I think it is more important than senior brother that you go to higher realms, because you have the continuation of your life."
Xiang Zhiwen smiled softly, obviously thinking of the infant child, "It's a pity that it's a girl. My family hopes that it will be a boy, so that we can carry on the family lineage, continue the family bloodline, and ensure long-lasting wealth."
Hou Tzu disagreed, "As to whether a son or a daughter has more influence on the family's future, I think the world's views are very biased. They value boys too much."
"Oh, how do you say it?"
"If a son is not educated well, he will harm his own family; if a daughter is not educated well, it will harm other people's family..."
Xiang Zhiwen unconsciously relaxed under Hou Zi's fuss, "Your mouth is really...the past few years have made me understand a lot of truths. It doesn't seem to be a bad thing. My practice needs to be polished. It's too fast."
It's not necessarily a good thing, as long as you don't forget your original intention..."
"Don't forget your original intention? It's not easy! I just keep forgetting and changing, and it seems to be nothing. When I was a child, I wanted to eat delicious food. When I grew up, I wanted to inherit my father's business and be a prisoner for the rest of my life. Later, when I became a Taoist, I wanted to live forever.
I am not old, I have joined the Quanzhen Sect and I want to conquer the world with my sword, so I actually don’t know what my original intention is."
Xiang Zhiwen shook his head, "Can your original intention be changed at will?"
Hou Zi nodded, "There was a man who raised a fish. Later, when the fish died, he was very sad because the fish stayed with him for several years and was his companion when he was lonely. He stayed with him silently and never talked too much.
Too tongue-tied.
He decided to cremate it and scatter it into the sea so that its soul could return home.
So he put it on the fire and started to cook it. During the cooking process, he found that the fish became more and more fragrant as it grilled. Then he couldn't help but sprinkle some spices on it, poured a pot of wine... and ate it.
You see, your original intention will always change in the temptation. Why should you stick to the decision you made when you were immature for a lifetime? You have never seen the world completely and do not understand its truth, as well as the vast universe, and
