Chapter 556 The Living Dead
When people are talking about unimportant matters, their thoughts tend to wander.
What you are thinking about and what you are talking about are two completely different things. But at this time, the person you are chatting with will become extremely happy because what you say is completely in line with the other person.
To put it simply and directly, it's 'Ah, right, right!' When the spiritual consciousness reaches Chen Zhixing's level, of course this kind of situation will not occur. Even if he doesn't think when chatting, he still speaks very appropriately, and everything is done for his own benefit.
The problem is, you can't stand the cunning person you're chatting with, and he'll set you up for no reason! "Your Majesty Xingzun."
"Senior, you are too kind. Sister Qingyue and I are even good friends. Since you are Sister Qingyue's master, you can just call me Zhixing."
"Is this appropriate?"
"It's appropriate."
"Hahaha, then I won't be polite. Zhixing, you don't know, before coming here this time, Qingyue has been nagging me about you a lot. Although she didn't say it, you can tell from her expression that she is thinking about you in her heart." Mo Zhen said as he looked at Chen Zhixing in front of him with a smile. He was really more and more satisfied the more he looked at him.
"Then when I have time, I will go to Tiansheng Palace to visit Sister Qingyue."
"Yes, we have to meet. You haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Now that you are all free, why not get together more often, spend some time together, and reminisce about your childhood. It will be fun."
"Senior, what you said makes sense. I appreciate your advice." Chen Zhixing agreed, but his mind was still on the things of the ancient Immortal Divine Court. He didn't think about what he said at all.
"Then I'll go back and tell Qingyue this, and then ask her to wait for you in the palace?"
"Okay," Chen Zhixing agreed casually, but then he felt that what Mo Zhen said was wrong.
What does it mean to wait for him in the palace? It's as if if he doesn't go, Mo Qingyue will become a widow!
Cough cough.
Although this is the case, since Mo Qingyue gave up the title of Saint and succeeded the position of elder, she has rarely left the mountain, and she doesn't have a husband to accompany her. She is indeed no different from a widow. But why does it sound so different when it comes out of this old man's mouth?
'This old man has bad intentions!'
This was Chen Zhixing's first thought, but the second thought that followed scared him as well.
"Isn't he using the excuse of getting medicine to propose to me on behalf of Sister Qingyue?"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the suppressed humanity in Chen Zhixing's mind began to boil over. Then, as if out of his control, a thought split directly from his sea of consciousness and turned into a human form. Without even looking at the people in the field, he headed straight for the direction of the Tiansheng Palace!
Chen Zhixing: “???”
I wanted to stop it, but after thinking it over, I decided not to do it.
That thought came to his mind for the first time when he was a child, and the object of his affection was naturally the Saint Mo Qingyue who came to investigate the Ziwei Chen family on behalf of the Tiansheng Palace.
Who doesn't have a white moonlight in their heart? Chen Zhixing did not deny that he was very interested in Mo Qingyue, especially after he had reached his current state and status. Whether he wanted to have a closer relationship with Mo Qingyue was entirely up to him.
If that's the case, and Mo Qingyue really has intentions, then why should he stop all this from happening? After his thoughts turned around and he calmed down, Chen Zhixing, whose expression had returned to calm, bowed to Mo Zhen in front of him: "For this exchange, Zhixing would like to thank Senior Mo Zhen for his guidance. If things work out in the future, I will definitely give you a good gift."
"Hahaha, okay, okay. I'm an old man, but I just can't see you young people getting to know each other and don't want to see it. I'm old, so I just like to see festive things. I hope Xingzun will forgive me, forgive me."
As he said this, Mo Zhen's face was already full of smiles.
It would be a great thing for him to be able to turn this star god into his son-in-law.
Regardless of other influences, at least his longevity pill is safe, right? The only thing that surprised Mo Zhen was the thought that Chen Zhixing had just separated. Why did it look like a child of a few years old?
Tiansheng Palace.
Inside the Frost and Snow Palace on Feixian Peak.
Mo Qingyue was half leaning against the window, gazing at the red plum blossoms outside the window, her eyes as gentle as water.
When a tiny child fell from the sky and became real from illusion, there was no surprise in her eyes.
Without standing up, Mo Qingyue just waved to the child beside the plum tree and chuckled:
"How come you have time to come to my place?"
"I missed you, so I came to see you."
The toddler, who had turned from virtual to real, skipped to the window, and under Mo Qingyue's amused gaze, climbed in through the window with some effort.
He landed gently on the ground, then climbed onto the chair like a little adult, and picked up the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass.
Surprisingly, the wine jug contained plum juice instead of wine.
The child who tasted the food was a little unhappy. He shook his wine glass and said to Mo Qingyue, "Your Tiansheng Palace's mountain protection formation is really annoying. I was very careful when I came here, thinking of giving you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to know it in advance."
“Puff.”
Perhaps it was because of seeing Chen Zhixing in this state, his pretentious look made Mo Qingyue feel very funny. This former saint, who now holds a high position of power in Tiansheng Palace, rarely showed a little girl-like attitude.
"No, I knew you would come before you were discovered by the Tiansheng Palace. I just never thought that you would come to see me in such a cute look."
As he said this, Mo Qingyue stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch Chen Zhixing's face.
What’s interesting is that this time Chen Zhixing didn’t even dodge and was pinched by Mo Qingyue.
This surprised Mo Qingyue even more, and she looked at him with a smile and said:
"Xiao Zhixing, they say that no one comes to see you for no reason. What do you want from me this time?"
"Hmm" Little Chen Zhixing blushed a little after hearing her words, and he also remembered that every time he came to Tiansheng Palace to see Mo Qingyue, it seemed that he really came here to ask for something.
The younger you are, the thinner your skin is!
It was something that could have been dealt with in just one sentence, but it made the little Chen Zhixing blush and look very embarrassed.
Then.
"No, Sister Qingyue, it was your master, Lord Mo Zhenzhen, who told me that you missed me, so I came to see you after hearing that."
"Oh, you mean, if my master didn't tell you, you still wouldn't come to see me?"
"Sister Qingyue!" A pleading look appeared in little Chen Zhixing's eyes.
Mo Qingyue chuckled upon seeing this and did not tease him with words anymore, although she felt that it was really fun to tease Chen Zhixing like this.
Then, Mo Qingyue spoke some sincere words in a joking tone.
"By the way, you have also met my master. From what I heard from him, he intends to sell me to you in exchange for some innate longevity pills that can help him prolong his life. I wonder if you have agreed to this deal or not?"
"Ah?" Xiao Chen Zhixing opened his mouth wide. Is it okay to say that? "What?" Mo Qingyue frowned. "Whether you agreed or not, just tell me the truth. This kind of thing is just a status between you and me. I don't care. Why are you shy?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"No, right?"
Subconsciously, little Chen Zhixing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then stared at him with a guilty look in his eyes and said, "Sister Qingyue, I'm still a child, you can't do anything to me!"
"Huh?" Mo Qingyue glared at him. When marrying in the Tianxuan Realm, when did they ever care about the other person's age? Not to mention the difference of more than 80 years, she had even seen newborn babies being married off to many old men who were hundreds or thousands of years old! "Ah! That's right!"
As if frightened by the expression on Mo Qingyue's face, Xiao Chen Zhixing was frightened and quickly changed the subject: "Sister Qingyue, logically speaking, for your sake, your master wants the longevity pill, so I must give it to him. But I think you can see that according to his condition, whether he takes the longevity pill or not, it is useless for him, right?"
As he said this, Chen Zhixing pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, as if he was really scared by Mo Qingyue.
Then, without waiting for Mo Qingyue to speak, he suddenly put his hand into his heart. Under Mo Qingyue's astonished gaze, he took out a wooden box containing elixirs from his heart and stuffed it into the frozen Mo Qingyue's hand.
"Hey, I'll give you the longevity pill first. It's not that I'm stingy and don't want to give it to you, I'm just speaking normally!"
“.”
Mo Qingyue was speechless and was trying to speak normally. If you were normal, you shouldn’t say this!
Thinking this in her heart, Mo Qingyue blushed a little, pretending to be indifferent and put away the pill in her hand. She did not ask Chen Zhixing about the effect of the pill in her hand, but said directly:
"Well, my master Mo Zhen is dead. When he accepted me as his disciple, the elders of my family told me about this. According to the definition of my Tiansheng Palace, Changsheng Zhenjun Mo Zhen died 1,500 years ago."
"I told you, I felt something was wrong when I saw him before, as if a dead person who could talk appeared in front of me." Chen Zhixing had a look of fear on his face, and then he angrily glared at Mo Qingyue in front of him and said, "We all know that he is dead, why did you let him out to scare people at Tiansheng Palace!"
"You know, I know, many knowledgeable people know, but Master himself doesn't know, and even the world doesn't know." When saying this, Mo Qingyue came out of her shyness and seemed to find it a little funny. She argued with the little Chen Zhixing in front of her, "No one in the world thinks my Master is dead, not even he himself. During this period, he accepted six disciples including me. Who can say he is dead?"
"So, you even use dead people?" Xiao Chen Zhixing opened his mouth wide when he heard that.
"Don't be surprised. If you and I have such a day in the future, we will also be used in the same way by future generations."
Mo Qingyue didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.
Is Mo really dead? He is dead.
His humanity has been completely lost, and his true soul has entered the spirit world. The Mo Zhen who now lives in front of people is just a body with Mo Zhen's memories, Taoism, and appearance. Although he seems to be no different from ordinary people on weekdays, if you get along with him for a long time, you will always find all kinds of inconsistencies in him.
Ordinary people may not understand what I mean.
Well, to put it another way, Mo Zhen, who has lost his true spirit, is a super robot with the powerful processing power and knowledge of the immortal realm. He may still be able to maintain a style similar to that of a normal person, but compared with a normal person, the gap is really huge.
Without the ability to learn, when faced with things, one can only analyze and handle them based on past experience. Even when encountering something that one has never seen before, one may get stuck, and then subconsciously ignore the matter and continue to do things according to one's own logic.
Without his true spirit, Mo Zhen will always remain in the past and will never have a future.
Of course, considering the huge memory and logical speed of the Immortal Realm True Lord, this kind of "death" is no different from being alive for most ordinary people.
Therefore, one thousand four hundred years after Mo Zhen's death, he was still able to accept Mo Qingyue as his disciple.
Therefore, one thousand five hundred years after his death, he was still able to visit Chen Zhixing to propose marriage for his apprentice Mo Qingyue.
He even knew how to fight for benefits for himself and wanted to take longevity pills so that he could live longer and not feel like a dead man at all.
This state is very common in the three holy places. More than 80% of the elders of the holy places who have been in seclusion all year round are in this half-dead state.
After all, maintaining humanity is more difficult than practicing. And for those cultivators who can't even reach the Four Seasons of Immortality, wanting to maintain humanity after four or five thousand years is difficult for them!
Of course, in fact, this state of the living dead is a good thing for the three holy places and even for the entire Tianxuan Sister.
Because they are dead and have no ability to innovate, they will just do things according to the logic of handling things in the past. As long as they are not provoked or forced, there is no need to worry about them developing messy emotions such as "motivation" and "ambition".
On weekdays, they are thrown into some remote places to retreat, and when something needs their strength, they are called out to help by "awakening".
When tasks like 'guarding the rear' or 'suffering' are given to these zombies, they will do their best to complete them. They will not worry that they will choose to escape due to 'fear of death', because the state they have maintained for many years allows their thinking logic to make the most basic judgments.
In their logic, dying for the sect is a natural thing.
so.
A group of thugs who are very useful and strong, and even consume resources at a frequency of only one-fifth of that of normal monks. Who would have the heart to get rid of them directly instead of keeping them and continuing to use them?
No matter what position you take, this is unrealistic. (End of this chapter)
