Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 137 31: Well, it's the chapter name of the next chapter

Tang Nineteen was afraid of the dark.

Since she was very young, she hated staying alone in a dark place, and this point has not changed even now that she has grown into a golden core stage monk.

Cultivation and state of mind are often not consistent.

Even though her cultivation has become stronger, she will always be a child in her heart.

Speaking of a Jindan stage monk in this way, it might feel a little shameless to say it in other places, but in Qingluan's small world, especially in this inhabited place called "Yuanning", which is like a paradise, it seems to be too It's not too shameful.

Because things like this are the norm here.

This is normal.

The idealized organization, the idealized future, and the glorious vision of the future will continue to be praised so that everyone can live happily. As long as we continue to promote the argument that "as long as the rules are followed, all idealization will become a reality" and be consistent with absolute authority. , In the long run, this will leave a deep imprint in people's minds, thus turning it into a deeply ingrained concept.

The people in the settlement of "Yuanning" have "not high requirements" for the next generation. Of course, this is just their own opinion.

As long as the next generation follow their requirements, abide by the "rules" set by the settlement, don't resist any "things" imposed on them by the elders, and don't do any "things" that violate the elders...

——As long as you strictly abide by the rules and be a "good boy" who obeys what the elders say and never resists the rules in the eyes of the elders, then such a next generation will be a thriving seedling that will not grow crooked in the eyes of adults.

For adults, it is enough for the seedlings to be "obedient", and nothing else is important.

The way forward for the young seedlings has been paved for them by experienced pioneers. The path of their life has already been planned. All the directions of progress are clearly marked, and the setbacks and difficulties on the road are also helped to be eradicated; the vision ahead is bright. Abnormally, you only need to move forward, and the road ahead is smooth.

The seedlings don't even need to make their own decisions, or even have a so-called "self". Everything is taken care of by adults.

Even if the seedlings will only grow into guys who are inflexible to the words and orders of the adults, there is no problem, because the words of the adults are the truth, and the orders given by the adults are all correct.

Distinguish right from wrong?This is just superfluous, and it doesn't matter if you don't need to do it.

Everything is arranged clearly.

A child is like a blank piece of paper, what will become of a piece of blank paper is not decided by the person holding the paintbrush?
According to common sense, the seedlings are well protected by the adults, and they thrive in a greenhouse like the "Yuanning" settlement, growing up little by little as the adults expected.

but--

There are always exceptions.

Tang Nineteen was an exception under this system.

Tang Nineteen is obviously not a "good boy" in the eyes of adults.

Because of her background, compared with the children of her generation, she is like a weed in this greenhouse.

In comparison, the adults didn't take care of her very strictly, so in this gap, she also grew wildly like a weed.

With a lot less restraint—she is one of the rare people in the "Yuanning" settlement, and she is more or less an outlier who has her own opinions and can think independently.

This of course has to do with the environment.Innate shaping plus acquired influence, under the joint action of the two, can finally become what it is now bit by bit.

Tang Shijiu is naive and precocious. Although she does things recklessly, she can learn lessons in time. She is pleasing but also knows how to measure. The so-called "rules" relax her, allowing her to retain her innocence and curiosity Heart.

Due to various reasons, when the adults commented on the seedlings, they unconsciously favored Tang Nineteen.For the disasters she caused, the adults indifferently gave them reasons such as "just because children are ignorant" and "childlike innocence" and forgive them time and time again.

Childlike innocence is not a bad thing, children should look like children. For children, it is their nature to run and dance without stopping for a moment.

The adults were surprisingly tolerant on this point, but apart from Tang Nineteen, none of the children who had been taught to strictly abide by the rules since childhood had the guts to do things like Tang Nineteen.

Tang Nineteen has understood a truth since then: Childlike innocence is within the scope allowed by the rules.

Curiosity that shouldn't be there is a taboo that should never appear in the eyes of adults.

For example, there is no explicit prohibition on one thing that everyone knows well-don't have any curiosity about the outside world.

Tang Shijiu said in her heart that she actually knew very well what she could and couldn't do. Of course, she also carefully hid her curiosity under her innocence, so that strict adults would not find out about her. Little selfishness.

Tang Nineteen learned some of the origins of this world from the legends and stories told by the elders. She was not like those children whose thinking had been restricted, and she did not dare to imagine that one day she would be able to stand under the blue sky and white clouds.Tang Nineteen always imagined those wild things.

She thought countless times that she could stand under the blue sky and white clouds, bathed in warm sunshine, and let the breeze caress her face.But there is nothing here in the other world.

The longer she stayed in the other world, the more she hated it.

She hates the dark.

Hate being alone.

I hate being alone in a dark place even more.

Most of the "Yuanning" settlements are monks.Although monks live longer than ordinary people, their fertility rate is extremely low. The "Yuanning" settlement has been established for so many years, and the second generation is only in double digits.

Tang Nineteen is the No. 19 child born in the settlement of "Yuanning" during these long years. His father's surname is "Tang", and he is usually called "Tang Nineteen".

Although it was so well-known and widely known, Tang Nineteen still had a serious name.

In fact, her mother—the woman whose name seemed to be taboo among all the adults in the settlement had given her a name.

Whenever Tang Nineteen recalled this incident, he always felt that something was about to explode in his mind at any time.

The excruciating pain lasts for a long time, and then a distant, dim and broken scene seems to flow down the long river of memory, undulating and circling in the river, and finally emerges after going through untold hardships.

Even though the picture is not very clear, it still makes Tang Nineteen's memory very deep.

—that was, probably, when she was a little baby in swaddling arms, still babbling.
