Chapter 109·Dream into Rotten Ke (6)
Branch 2:
[You: (Suddenly enlightened) So that’s it. ]
After hearing the explanation, you looked stunned, but soon a new doubt arose in your heart——
Looking at Jinchen’s appearance, he should know that he can repair it Where did he get the "five-color silk" for his body? So, with his level of cultivation... why didn't he repair his body by himself?
Wouldn't this be more convenient and faster?
After all, you are just a mortal. It can only be said that you have a little more experience in restoring cultural relics than others... but you definitely don’t understand the structure of Han brocade as well as a Han brocade expert like him. It’s clear!
Or... is there some secret reason that you don't know about?
[You: (with hesitation) But... Mr. Jinchen, there is still something unknown. ]
You frowned, but decided to talk about this doubt and ask, so as not to suffocate yourself to death due to excessive curiosity.
[You: (cautiously) The "five-color silk" that contains the "power of five stars" sounds like it's not ordinary. You think it's not something that an ordinary person like me who knows nothing about spiritual practice can just get, right? ]
[You: With your level of cultivation, can't you find the "five-color silk" by yourself and repair your own body? ]
You are tactful in your words, but your words are straightforward and candid.
In fact, until now, you are still not sure whether the "Jinchen" you saw is real, or whether it is just an illusion created by you due to excessive mental pressure.
You just feel as if everything has gone beyond your expectation and control without even realizing it, and this feeling makes you feel slightly uncomfortable.
There was a sense of... panic of not knowing what would happen next.
You thought to yourself, pinching your sleeves nervously.
Jinchen across from you heard your words, but didn't feel offended. He just bent his eyes and smiled lightly at you, with an indescribable feeling of sadness in his smile. [Jinchen: (smiling helplessly) Shiba’s words really hit the point. ]
[Jinchen: (sigh) Xiaosheng knows the saying "No one is allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China", and he also knows that people today no longer believe in the existence of monsters as they did in the past... If he could, Xiaosheng would indeed I don't want to show up rashly and disturb my subordinates. ]
[Jinchen: However, just as Shi Shi had guessed, Xiaosheng could not obtain the "five-color silk" that could repair Xiaosheng's body on his own. ]
As he spoke, Jinchen waved his sleeves and conjured up a small water mirror in front of you that looked like a projection. You recognized that what was reflected in the water mirror was the exquisite pattern woven on the fragment of Han brocade.
The young man in gorgeous clothes cupped his hand towards you again, and his tone when he spoke was unprecedentedly serious.
[Jinchen: (solemnly) Because what Xiaosheng practices is nothing else but the power of the five stars derived from the five aspirations of human beings and inspired by the five stars in the sky. ]
You who have never practiced spiritual practice may seem to understand but not understand.
[You: (frowning) What are the five aspirations of a person? Your Excellency, what you said was... "happiness, anger, worry, and fear"? ]
[Jinchen: (Closes his eyes and nods) Yes, it is the five ambitions of "happiness", "anger", "worry", "thinking", and "fear". ]
[Jinchen: There are five stars in the sky, five directions on the earth, and people have five aspirations. When these five emotions come to the extreme, they can penetrate the sky and the earth, stimulate the power of the five stars in the sky, and the "five colors" "Silk" is a treasure that is generated after being soaked in this power, trapped in various obsessions in the world and has been cultivated for more than a hundred years, and can represent the five elements. ]
[Jinchen: It is a natural thing... It is not the silk thread spun out by ordinary silkworms after eating mulberry. Moreover, I have heard Xiaosheng talk about the conditions for its formation, so I can probably guess how it will be. Only then can we obtain this "five-color silk". ]
After Jinchen finished speaking, he stiffly tugged at the corner of his lower lip, and for no apparent reason, you sensed a hint of bitterness in his smile.
But after hearing what he said, an idea flashed in your mind, and you really guessed the necessary conditions for obtaining the five-color silk, so you gave an answer after careful consideration.
[You: What do you mean...if you want to obtain five-color silk, you need to identify the five aspirations of this person? ]
[Jinchen: (laughing bitterly) Haha, yes, yes, you have to identify the five ambitions of this person, and you have to help people solve the obsession in their heart——]
[Jinchen: But ____, I have seen it at one step, no matter how sophisticated the Taoism practiced by Xiaosheng is, Deep, no matter how many years Xiaosheng has been wandering around in this world, Xiaosheng is still just a spirit born from a piece of Han brocade——]
[Jinchen: Xiaosheng... is not a real person. Human beings naturally cannot fully understand the five aspirations of all people in the world. ]
[Jin Chen: (Sadly) So even if Xiaosheng does know where to get the five-color silk, he still can’t get rid of the obsession on the silk and can’t repair the broken holes in the body. ]
[Jinchen: Xiaosheng can only run to ask for help. ]
Jinchen said these words sincerely and openly, and you couldn't help but feel a little more moved after hearing them.
But this little bit of emotion is not enough to make you completely relax your vigilance. From the beginning to the end, you still can’t figure out why he ignored so many roads in the world and insisted on cultivating this "five-star world". force".
For "big demons" like them who have lived for thousands of years, there should be many ways to choose...
He can't simply cultivate the "power of five stars" just because there are five stars woven into his body and coincide with the five elements - then why doesn't he just cultivate the five elements, five directions, five tones and five spirits?
There are a lot of things with "five" in this world!
[You: If you say this, I can understand it better. ]
[You: (hesitating) It’s just...since practicing the "Five Aspirations" is so difficult for you, why don't you just choose a different path to practice? ]
[Jinchen: (Frankly) Because "Five Aspirations" is the most suitable. ]
[Jinchen: This is not only because there are five stars woven into the body of Xiaosheng, but also because of the significance of the existence of this brocade itself——]
[Jinchen: (face slightly solemn) Xiaosheng’s ontology It was what Emperor Xuan did to conquer the Qiang, and he was overjoyed when he won the victory; he was furious when he saw the Qiang people invading our Han border for a long time and bullying the people; his parents and relatives were worried about the safety of the conscripts; the conscripts were far away at the border, and they missed their hometown the most. think. ]
[Jinchen: (face unchanged) When the two armies are fighting, and their lives are at stake, the soldiers are instinctively afraid of death, and they are also afraid of losing the battle, and the worst fear is to lose their homeland... So happy, Anger, worry, thought, and fear are all five wills, and they also have five stars. Why doesn't Xiaosheng take advantage of this to practice the "power of five stars"? ]
[Jinchen: Besides, if we want to go far on the road of spiritual practice, we need to understand this person’s five ambitions! ]
[You: (thoughtfully) Like this. ]
Jinchen made it clear what he said now, and you finally let go of most of your wariness towards him.
[You: Mr. Jinchen, where should we find the five-color silk? How can I help you? ]
[Jinchen: (laughing) That’s easy to say, just follow Xiaosheng to Lanke Mountain. ]
(Your carefulness and caution made Jinchen feel that you were a reliable and stable teammate, and he had a good impression of you. At the same time, you understood the difficulties Jinchen faced and gained a little more confidence. Hanjin Jingso's favorability value is +10, stability is +10, and confidence is +10, and continues to return to the main line)
