Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 103 10: The Inner and Outer Worlds

While thinking about the irrationality in reality, while yearning for the outside world, Tang Nineteen has lived in this relatively peaceful environment for more than ten years.

This was the first time in Tang Shijiu's life that he saw an awakened person, and it was a little girl who was obviously a few years younger than her.

Restraining the emotions that were almost unbearable, Tang Nineteen opened his mouth and closed his mouth after he finished speaking, considering the environment of the conversation.Although the senses were shielded, he knew exactly what kind of environment this place was in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.As for the pine nut, it lay leisurely on Tang Nineteen's shoulders, showing an inscrutable smile by the way.

Seeing that the other party understood and nodded with his mouth closed, Tang Shijiu pretended to be calm, but the moment he turned around and walked away, his expression changed, and his eyes kept turning around. lock up.

I haven't gotten along with the awakened person before, what should I do now!
Tsk tsk tsk, this embarrassing look again.Songzi directly raised his paw and covered his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.

After collecting another bottle of "Liuhuo", Tang Nineteen, who had been dull for a long time, finally noticed Lu Liang's gaze. He couldn't help feeling even more flustered, but he still looked over with a stiff expression, and smiled when he saw Lu Liang. After taking a step to keep up, he continued to the next scheduled location with a little stiffness.

Because the time has been separated for a long time, the "flowing fire" in the body of the dying person in another corner of the "bedroom" has been somewhat decayed, but upholding the principle of not wasting resources, Tang Nineteen still spent a lot of time Da Jin collected it.

"Running fire" is a matter of life and death in this world.

After finishing today's work, Tang Nineteen and Lu Liang finally entered the stairs that Tang Nineteen had come down before, and returned the same way.

After the two walked up in silence for a long time, Tang Nineteen slowed down when looking down from the top, there was no end in sight.

Re-opening the senses, he let out a long sigh of relief and said to Lu Liang who was following behind him: "...Thank you for staying with me for so long."

After a pause, he continued: "You must have a lot of things you want to know, you can ask now, and I will try my best to answer your questions." Tang Nineteen tilted his head and rested his chin with one hand, "By the way, my name is Tang Nineteen."

"En." Lu Liang also opened her senses when she heard the words, and said Tang Nineteen's name silently in her heart at the same time, "Hello, I'm Lu Liang."

The two didn't stop walking, Lu Liang didn't give the atmosphere a chance to be silent, and asked straightforwardly: "Then... the first question."

"Here, where is it?"

Tang Jiujiu was thinking about the questions he would ask himself when he imagined that he could meet a new awakened person.

Since she was a child, she was looking forward to such a thing, so she made a question set, not only the questions that new awakened people wanted to ask her, but also the questions she wanted to ask new awakened people, all of which were recorded. , quietly reviewing it many times a day.

Now that the fantasy had finally become a reality, Tang Nineteen was still a little excited. As she expected, the first question Lu Liang asked was the most basic question in the set of questions: Where is this?
Tang Nineteen was also unambiguous, walking briskly with his hands behind his back, and the shadows of the lamps flickered endlessly.

She opened her mouth softly and spoke clearly, Lu Liang listened with great concentration.

Accompanied by the sound of stepping on the steps, gradually moving away from the thunderous snoring and dream talk mixed in, Tang Nineteen's eloquence opened a door to a new world for Lu Liang.

It turned out that "Earth Heart Red Lotus" was just a hoax.

So now it seems that so many people sacrificed their lives and went deep into the interior of the wasteland just to find the "red lotus in the center of the earth", it was actually just a joke.

This joke is deadly enough.

The price of this kind of game at the cost of life is too high.

It's not because of pity, Lu Liang just feels that the laws of this world are too cruel.

Compared with other worlds, everyone in this world has an extremely difficult life. The same world of cultivating immortals, the same civilization of cultivating immortals, how could this world end up in such a mess.

Judging from Tang Nineteen's words, those stories are more like myths like legends, which seem to be impossible to trace, but they also truly reflect reality.

Myths and reality, in the final analysis, are both descended from the same strain. What kind of reality exists, what kind of myth will inevitably be exaggerated, exaggerated, derived, and fantasized.

And Lu Liang is just an unexpected passer-by in this long time.

She is not an aborigine in this world, but an outsider wearing the skin of an aborigine. She just wants to survive hard, but one thing after another always drives her away. In order to survive better, She can only strive to acquire the abilities and strengths that will enable her to survive.

I thought that after helping the Mo family sisters, her cheap master, I could find a little bit of the answer, but in the blink of an eye, I found that everything in the past was overturned again. Instead of seeing the blue sky after clearing the clouds and mists, more dark clouds gathered.

...and I can't see anything clearly.

The world is much more complicated than she imagined.She had only seen the surface before.

Tang Nineteen told her that this place is called the "inner world", and the countless sleepers like Lu Liang who are sleeping together in the "bedroom" all come from the outside world, that is, the "outside world". .

The "flowing fire" that every monk in the inner world will have in his body is a timer that determines the length of each person's lifespan.

The other world is a huge maze.

The place where they are now is just the tip of the iceberg of this huge labyrinth, an extremely remote and relatively safe place.

The aborigines and outsiders here—that is, the awakened ones—will gather and live for various reasons, and such places are called "inhabited places."

After a brief scan, Lu Liang thought for a while and then asked: "Then 'Liuhuo'..." She considered her words, "The lifespan of a monk will be extended according to the improvement of the realm, but according to the rules of the inner world,' Everyone will die after the 'Flowing Fire' disappears, so there must be a way to get the 'Flowing Fire' to prolong life?"

Tang Nineteen nodded, looked at the junction of light and darkness, and his voice sank: "Well, of course. 'Liuhuo' can be obtained from other people, or from some spiritual objects. But spirits are extremely rare.”

"I heard that the watch world outside is very complicated, and people will fight each other for their own interests, so why not here."

"We—everyone in our settlement do not want to see this kind of struggle, so we settled down in this remote corner, just relying on the nearest 'bedroom' to collect the remaining blood from the body of the dying person. The dissipated 'flowing fire' is just to keep us alive."
