Lan Zhi: "..." She did say that.
But the thing is, that’s bullshit.
Lan Jinyu rubbed his hands and said, "Azhi, you don't have to tell us what's in the White Mountain Secret Realm. I just want you to know the outcome once, to see if your second brother and I will die in there."
If he hadn't died, he and his second brother would have been able to enter the secret realm to gain experience.
If I were to die...
Then you should stay at home.
Being alive is the most important thing.
Once you die, you have nothing left. What’s the point of having more resources?
Lan Zhi was silent.
Sure enough, lying comes at a price, and you have to find a way to cover up the lie.
At this moment, Lan Zheyu touched his brother's arm and said, "Forget it. It's definitely not easy for Ah Zhi to use the power of prophecy. If we ask my sister to predict the future every time we go to a place, when will we be able to stand on our own?"
He added, "Big Brother also knew that the Orchid God Flower could foresee the future, but when Big Brother left, he didn't even think of relying on prophecies. We need to forge our own future. We should also learn from Big Brother and not always rely on others."
Lan Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes..."
In fact, he was not afraid of death, but he was just afraid that his family would be sad after he died. The martial arts he practiced made him impatient and irritable, and he would not be patient when encountering things. This character flaw was too obvious. When exploring the secret realm, a group of people were competing for opportunities, and killing people for treasures was even more common. Lan Jinyu was afraid that he would not be able to bear it for a moment, and would draw his sword to help when he saw injustice, but would end up losing himself.
Lan Zheyu continued, "After we enter the secret realm, I will take Ah Jin with me and won't let him do anything stupid under the pressure of impulse... Besides, we have a way out. Even if our bodies die, our spirits will live on, and we can continue to cultivate with Master. So, no matter what, my third brother and I will come out of the secret realm."
Lan Jinyu patted his chest and assured: "That's right, sister, don't worry!"
Lan Zhi asked, "Where's the defensive spiritual weapon I gave you earlier? Bring it with you to the secret realm, and your life will be safe."
"Yes, how could I forget about this!" Lan Zheyu took out an exquisite and luxurious brocade box from his sleeve. In the box was a black hairpin. This was the green-level defensive spiritual weapon given to him by his sister. He always carried it with him. If it was a gold hairpin, it would not be nice for a man like him to put it on his head, but now the hairpin has become an inconspicuous black piece of wood, so there is nothing to worry about.
Lan Zhi nodded in satisfaction. "This way you won't have to worry about someone attacking you from behind. The hairpin will automatically protect its owner."
However, automatic protection of the master also has its flaws. The hairpin has no intelligence. If someone attacks Lan Zheyu with spiritual spells, the hairpin will block the attack when Lan Zheyu is relaxed and not alert. But if someone knocks Lan Zheyu unconscious from behind with a wooden stick, the wooden stick has no spiritual power fluctuations and does not endanger Lan Zheyu's life, so the hairpin will not protect its master.
"It's okay to wear the hairpin for my second brother, but for a man like me, wearing two black earrings... isn't it appropriate..." Lan Jinyu's expression was hard to describe, but his sister had given him a big golden hammer before, and he was reluctant to break the contract and hid it under the bed. Should he bring the hammer this time?
On second thought, forget it. He and his second brother went into the secret realm to gain experience, not to show off. The defensive spiritual weapons given by his sister were all inconspicuous little jewelry, which would not attract attention even if worn. But if he went in with a big hammer... where did the hammer come from?
Such a powerful spiritual weapon must be valuable. It would be bad if someone targeted it.
Similarly, Lan Zheyu did not plan to take the brush his sister had given him before, which was also hidden in the secret compartment under the bed.
Lan Zhi said, "Second brother, third brother, I actually want to help you predict the future, but the Orchid God Flower can only foresee the future once, and now it has caused many variables. For example, in the future I foresaw, there was no secret realm in Baishan, only the Earth Tribulation Flame appeared..."
Hearing the words "Earth Tribulation Flame," Lan Zheyu suddenly thought of something. "I heard that a flame once appeared in Baishan, but it disappeared as soon as it appeared. I don't know who took it away..."
Having said that, Lan Zheyu paused and looked at each other with his third brother. Thinking that his sister often took out magical weapons, she might have known from the future where the treasures were and went to get them in advance. The matter of the Earth Tribulation Flame might also be related to his sister.
Lan Zhi was about to speak when she was interrupted by Lan Jinyu, "Sister, there are some things you should know yourself, don't tell us. Your second brother and I are going to the secret realm tomorrow morning. You should take good care of yourself at home. If we find any treasures in the secret realm, we will bring them back to you."
"Don't think about stealing the treasure. Your safety is the most important thing." Lan Zhi said.
"I know, don't worry."
Lan Jinyu didn't want to get her ears pierced, so she simply used the two earrings as rings, wearing one on each little finger of her left and right hands. As for why she didn't wear them on just one hand...it was mainly because the little finger is the thinnest, and the two are very symmetrical.
…
The next morning, Lan Zhi got up and planned to send them to Baishan, but she learned from the housekeeper Chen Shu that they had set off before dawn.
Lan Zhi returned to her yard and prepared to continue her alchemy plan.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jianxing came to see her again.
"You... are lame?" Lan Zhi asked in surprise when she saw him sitting in a wooden wheelchair this time.
Shangguan Jianxing stood up, took two steps, and said, "My legs are fine, but I feel that walking with a cane is not as convenient as a wheelchair after I became blind, so I bought a wheelchair and will go back in it later."
Lan Zhi was speechless. Shangguan Jianxing clasped his hands together and begged, "Sister Lan Zhi, please show me one more time."
This time, Lan Zhi didn't agree directly, but asked half-jokingly: "You won't see my privacy, will you?"
Shangguan Jianxing said, "No, you are subject to the taboos of time and space. If I try to penetrate the taboos, I will become blind and won't be able to see anything at all... My true purpose is to penetrate the taboos, not to peek into your past or future."
Lan Zhi asked: "Can you still see the future?"
"Yes, as long as I cultivate to become an unrivaled power, and then bring me a baby, I will be able to see the baby's growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood, and know everything it has experienced from birth to death..."
Shangguan Jianxing added, "But this child must be an ordinary person. If he becomes a cultivator in the future, then my predictions will be inaccurate. This is because cultivators go against the will of heaven, and the future is full of unknowns. I might be able to see a cultivator's future within a few days, or even ten days, or I might not be able to see any future at all."
"Okay." Lan Zhi nodded, remembering that the other party had paid the spirit stone. She thought for a moment and said, "When you become stronger, I would like to ask you to use astrology to peek into my past... or my future."
