Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 96 03: Door
sweet dream...

I don't know what it feels like to have a sweet dream.

Tang Shijiu felt a little sad when he thought about the outsiders he met when he went on inspections with his father when he was young.

——Aborigines don’t dream.

As an aborigine, she can't feel that feeling, because this place is very different from the world where those outsiders live.

Although the rules here are more cruel, from the narration of the parents and others, the world of outsiders is not as pure as theirs.

It's just that the purity in comparison is enough to make many people give up the idea of ​​going back to the outside world or going to the outside world to see it.

But even so, Tang Nineteen had fantasized that one day he would be able to leave here, or had a dream.

In reality, these are far away.

It's all just an unrealistic fantasy.

Dispelling this thought, Tang Nineteen continued to walk along the familiar path.A similar environment with minor differences flashed before his eyes. Tang Nineteen kept moving forward at a relatively steady speed, and at the same time, he kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

Tang Nineteen was like a fish in water in the relatively dark passage.Not just because of familiarity, but more because her body has adapted to this environment.

here--

There are very few written records of the history here, and there are almost no conditions for people living here to record it.

In an era without written records, history was passed on by word of mouth.

When Tang Nineteen was a child, she loved listening to such stories, and often pestered the elders to tell these stories, so that she could learn more about them, the aboriginal people, and about the world.

Here, is a maze.

The place where they live now is only the first floor of this maze.

The size of this layer alone is impossible to estimate, and the small settlement for them to live here is just a relatively safe place in this seemingly endless maze.So they still need to patrol in the morning and evening, in order to avoid those unknown dangers.

The walls of the labyrinth are so high that they plunge into the darkness beyond sight; there is not only dim light projected from somewhere, but the visibility is not very high; the roads of the labyrinth are extremely wide, and it takes a lot of time to walk through a section of the road on foot. Time, not to mention the possibility of a road to the end, only to find that it is a dead end.

Some walls are controlled by unknown forces and can be moved to change paths at will or serve as a door leading to another place in the future.

This maze is more "unknown" than "known".

As I said before, the settlement where these aboriginal people live is only a relatively safe place, not absolutely safe.

Moreover, settlements like theirs are not the only one in this maze.

In such a vast area, for hundreds of years or even longer, outsiders have continued to enter, and some people have settled for various reasons, but the land is still sparsely populated.

And the outsiders who settled here or just entered here also exist in various forms.

Some are a little more peaceful and just hope to maintain a stable life, while others want to fight with others for selfish or other interests.

Human nature is always complicated, and thousands of people are not the same.

People gather in kind, and things are divided into groups.

Therefore, among these people, people with similar ideas gathered together to form small groups—or simple villages, scattered in the maze.

The aboriginal settlement where Tang Nineteen lived was located in a slightly remote place in the maze, and the surrounding materials for survival were relatively poor, so everyone worked hard to practice.

The strength of this settlement is not bad, and it has lasted for hundreds of years. The surrounding area has a more detailed map of the roads in the exploration of the past dynasties, and it is far away from the settlements of those radical people. The daily life is very peaceful and nothing happens. What a big battle.

In this settlement, all the people are basically the type who want to live their lives honestly.Originally, they didn't have much prejudice against outsiders. Since an incident happened more than ten years ago, their attitude towards outsiders has changed.

Tang Nineteen was born here in such a relatively peaceful environment. Although her mother was also an outsider, her father was an aborigine here. Many things happened in the settlement before she was born, but these It has nothing to do with her.

Ever since she could remember, she had never seen her biological mother.

Although a small number of people still have slight complaints about her mother, under the meticulous care of her father and some elders, Tang Nineteen is living well in the settlement, and in terms of talent, it can be said that she is the most talented among her peers. Top notch.

Tang Nineteen is only 19 years old, and he is already a monk in the early stage of Jindan.

In addition, she is hardworking and has a lively and lovable nature. Everyone in the settlement regards her as a pistachio.Most of the young men of the same generation have special feelings for her.

The patrol route is a route that has been fixed for many years.

Inspections are necessary - not only to ensure the safety of the settlement, but also to find out whether there are outsiders.

This world has its own rules of survival.

In everyone's body, regardless of whether they are monks or not, there is energy that can be perceived and originates from the "red lotus in the center of the earth", which the aborigines usually call "flowing fire".

The amount of "flowing fire" stored in the body is the key to determining whether a person can live long enough.

If there is no "flowing fire" in the body, no matter how high the cultivation base is, the body will explode the moment the "flowing fire" disappears, turning into pure energy - that is, "flowing fire".

If you have to give it a definition, "flowing fire" is probably a kind of compressed life energy.

It will pass away little by little with time, as long as it enters this world, "flowing fire" will be generated in the body, and for the aborigines, these "flowing fires" are gradually formed when they choose to embark on the path of cultivation. formed in the body.

There are many different ways to get "Running Fire".

For example, the most simple and crude one is that some people will hunt and kill those ignorant new outsiders in order to prolong their lives.

But the aboriginal settlement where Tang Nineteen lived was not the case.

After turning several turns and passing several forks, Tang Nineteen finally reached the end of a road.

The end was a dead end. Tang Nineteen didn't panic at all. He just stepped forward and groped the wall for a while until he found a few sunken marks that seemed to be eroded by dripping water for many years. But in fact Tang Nineteen knew very well that it was how come.

For hundreds of years, the predecessors in their settlement have explored the law... Her father also explored this small trace and opened this door.

Tang Nineteen traced these small traces in the order he remembered, feeling the coolness of the stone wall in the depression with his fingertips.

In the last depression, a little force was pressed, and the wall began to vibrate slightly. The originally clean and clean wall separated from the middle to two thick stones with smooth cross-sections like doors, revealing the dark inside.
