Chapter 2173 Rejected

My heart skipped a beat when I thought of this.

Without the three souls and seven spirits to guide it, this body is just a shell. To put it simply, it is no different from a corpse.

However, a corpse without a soul to guide it is actually absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, using the spiritual energy to strengthen its body and slowly become stronger?

This... is too unbelievable and a bit scary!

"How can this be? Could it be that this body has its own consciousness? But this is absolutely impossible!"

If this body has its own consciousness, then even if my three souls and seven spirits can take over, the degree of fit will definitely not be so high, and it will be no different from my own body.

"Unless... this consciousness is well hidden, but the probability is very small!" I shook my head.

What convinces me more is that this body is very special. After I traveled back to my own era, this body without the three souls and seven spirits to control it was still absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Perhaps this was an instinct of this body.

"It seems that I have to pay more attention during this period. Once this body is really wrong, I must abandon it. Otherwise, my three souls and seven spirits will most likely be trapped in this body. Then, I am afraid I will not be able to return to my time!"

Seeing that I suddenly frowned and did not speak for a long time, several people looked at each other, and then I heard Chi Ruonan asked: "Zhang Bairen, what are you... thinking about?"

I shook my head: "Nothing, what time is it now?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon!" Chi Ruonan said: "We cooked meat, let's eat together!"

"Okay!" I nodded, and then followed everyone out of the room.

After walking out of the house, I saw that the village had returned to its former tranquility. A group of half-grown children were running wildly in the village. Some of the older ones were grinding grains with the adults, while others were squatting on the rooftops, smiling and watching the half-grown children running wildly.

"It seems that the village has returned to normal!" I nodded secretly.

I have to say that people in ancient times, whether adults or children, had a particularly good mentality.

If people of my era had encountered so many changes one after another, I would probably have collapsed mentally long ago. Even if the danger has been eliminated, it will definitely leave serious sequelae, and I will be suspicious and worried all day long.

"Is it still dragon meat?"

After arriving at the entrance of the village, I found that it was still the same big pot as before, and a special aroma was wafting out of the pot.

"Yes." Chi Ruonan nodded: "These children are still too weak, they need to eat some dragon meat to improve their physical fitness, otherwise, the failure rate of bathing in dragon blood will be very high!"

"Hey brother, tell me, when you were unconscious... did you go back to your era?" Mu Han suddenly came to my side and asked in a sly way: "What were the women in your era like?"

"..." I twitched my mouth when I heard that, and looked at Mu Han with a strange look, thinking why is this guy so different from what I imagined?

In my imagination, Mu Han is a god of war who protects the human race, a powerful dragon slayer who takes protecting the human race as his mission.

But who could have imagined that the real Mu Han is actually a... old pervert?

"Tell me something!" Seeing that I didn't say anything, Mu Han bumped my shoulder and said, "We are brothers who have been through life and death together. There's no need to be so stingy, right?"

"So we are brothers?" I looked helpless, and then said, "How can I tell you, our era... was both conservative and open!"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Mu Han looked puzzled.

I pondered for a moment, then said: "Women of my time...are more thoughtful. They will not be with a man unless they meet certain conditions, because they have to consider their second half of life. But...these conditions are set for marriage partners. They are more relaxed about some handsome and wealthy men, and may even use them as their playthings...Some women will treat poor people coldly, but flock to rich men. They completely forget that their families are also ordinary, and their parents are just ordinary people who work hard all day long!"

"Ah?" Mu Han was stunned: "Fuck, is he so mean? Isn't this bullying honest people?"

"But this is not the norm. There are still some excellent women." I smiled, but said in my heart that this kind of thing was too common in my era, and there were also various short video platforms. Those female anchors twisted and turned every day for men to watch for free. If Mu Han was born in that era, I guess he would have lost interest in cultivation.

Not long after, the dragon meat came out of the pot, and a group of half-grown children all rushed out. After each of them took a bite of the meat, they staggered back to rest as if they were drunk.

As for a group of older children, they stood in the distance, staring at the dragon meat in the pot.

But Chi Shan didn't mean to let them come over to eat.

"They have eaten and bathed in dragon blood before, but they cannot resist the erosion of dragon blood. If they continue to eat dragon meat, it will be a waste of resources!" Chi Shan said.

I nodded. These children cannot resist the erosion of dragon blood, so they are wasting both dragon meat and dragon blood. And the preciousness of dragon blood, I don't need to say more. Even in ancient times, it took a huge price to hunt a dragon.

"However, if we don't feed them dragon meat and don't let them bathe in dragon blood, how do we know that they can't resist the erosion of dragon blood? Therefore, this kind of waste is necessary. Perhaps, the probability of this group of half-grown children becoming dragon slayers is very small, but we can't give up completely because of the small probability. Because dragon slayers are one in a million, if we keep worrying about waste, then it may not be long before the inheritance of dragon slayers will be cut off!"

After eating the dragon meat, Mu Han patted me on the shoulder and said, "Brother Bai Ren, the village affairs have been resolved. Next, we should set off, right?" "

Is it really resolved?" I shook my head, because I knew that this matter was definitely not resolved.

But...

I can't stay here forever, because I still have my own things to do.

"You really should leave!" Chi Shan also spoke up, saying, "You can't be tied here because of our village's affairs."

"How are you going to arrange for Qing Mohan?" I suddenly looked at Chi Shan and asked.

Hearing this, Chi Shan pondered for a while, and then said, "I'm going to take her to the front line, where there are many dragon slayers and human cultivators gathered, who can protect her!"

"Take a little girl of seven or eight years old to the front line?" I frowned, and then suddenly said, "Maybe... I can take her away!"

"You?" Chi Shan immediately turned his head and looked at me, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Where are you taking her? And... why should I trust you?" Chi Shan said in a deep voice: "Although you have indeed contributed a lot to the village, you do not belong to this era after all. I am not sure of your purpose in coming to this era, so... I cannot hand Qing Mohan over to you!"
