Chapter 619 Chu Xia Haunts: The Mentality of the Immortals

==========
The Shadow Clan didn't have many things to do, and there was no need for Kong Huan to go there in person, so during his stay of more than a month, Kong Huan basically dragged Chu Xia around. At most, it is to arrange elder attendants for these people to protect them.

As for the Shadow Clan, friends are very reassured, and its security is even better than the dungeon formed by the Spirit Clan and the Moon Spirits of the Friends Clan who have no wars underground, so this kind of protection in the Shadow Clan tends to be more form without too much fuss.

So, Kong Huan got a better rest time... maybe. (Going out with someone and a case of books every day is a great way to rest, ga.)
However, no matter how long the rest time is, it is limited after all.

When the calendar turned to January 1th, when the parliamentary elections of the various floating islands began within the Friends Clan, Kongfan's trip in the Shadow Clan was finally coming to an end.

"Okay, the results of the discussion refer to the method of the Black Bone Clan. Let's summarize it and submit it to the Friends Clan."

"Yes, Elder Kong Huan, Elder Chu Xia."

After sorting out the documents, everyone got up and left.

The Shadow Clan had far fewer affairs than the Black Bone Clan, and at the final summary meeting, Kong Huan basically didn't speak.As for Chu Xia who was pulled over by him for a meeting, she just sat there and continued to read without even moving.

However, the government representatives accompanying the two elders were clearly aware of the tempers of the two elders, so these people did not care about the performance of the two elders at all.

After the meeting ended, people left the meeting room one after another, and Kong Huan also pushed Chu Xia with his hand, signaling to the other party to stop reading and it was time to leave.

"Chu Xia, the meeting is over."

"Oh."

Continue to flip through the book.

"..."

Reluctantly lowering his head, Kong Huan stretched out his hands, doing [beep——]... (typo), it was like hugging someone.

But this time, Chu Xia didn't cater to her, instead she backed off a little.

She didn't look up, she just sat there, while flipping through the book, she murmured in a way that she could feel the sound but couldn't understand the content: "It's completely unwilling."

"what?"

"No."

Not even bothering to move her head, Chu Xia shook her tentacles decisively.

"..."

Kong Huan wiped his sweat: "Okay, be obedient, be good!"

The outstretched hands again were not resisted, probably because Chu Xia was spoiled by the void and became lazy, so she completely ignored the surrounding situation and lazily read a book in the other's arms.

And Kong Huan, of course, acted as a porter as always, and flew back from the sky.

"Looking at the situation, it is rumored that Elder Kong Huan of the Elder's House is riding a lot of big ships." A government representative secretly spoke jokingly.

Everyone nodded in unison, and then turned to look at this person with a serious look: "Don't believe in rumors, we have to trust our own eyes and our own judgment."

"It's true what your lord said."

------

Pushing open the door of the Goddess' bedroom, under the playful gaze of the Thunder God attendant, who should have seen it all, but still showed a surprised expression, Kong Huan used his thoughts to make the room that was recently confused by the misbehavior of the residents Books that were everywhere were put back on the shelves.

Of course, Chu Xia was put back on the bed first (please don't think about it).

"Got home."

Kong Huan squatted in front of Chu Xia, with a look of anticipation: "How about it, have you decided whether to return to the friend clan?"

"Thinking."

Sitting on the head of the bed, Chu Xia, who had just changed a book, shook her head nonchalantly: "If you have something to do, Kong Huan, go back first."

"Forehead."

He leaned over on the stool beside the bed, looked at the bookshelves around him empty-handedly, shook his head and didn't know what to say.

If there is something to say, he is indeed the case. After all, the inspection of the Shadow Clan here has ended. According to the schedule, he should leave tomorrow at the earliest, and go to the next destination: the industrial area of ​​the Peng Clan.

But whether it was a warning from the depths of his consciousness or his own desire, it told him that it was best not to leave so quickly.

For people with a level of consciousness like theirs, the warning of consciousness is very effective. Although the timing of haunting is often unscrupulous, let alone have their own wishes, it's just...

After thinking about it, Kong Huan got up and nodded, then turned and walked towards the door.

"ok, I get it."

The sound of footsteps gradually moved away, and the sound of thumping was depressing.

"cut."

Glancing at the empty figure who turned and left, Chu Xia curled her lips secretly, but she still couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, she seemed to exert a little force on her hands, and the poor page just let out a mournful cry, and it seemed like that in the quiet hut. clear.

"What's the matter?" Stopping, Kong Huan turned to look at Chu Xia.

"It's nothing, it's just that the book is too thin, and when I tore the folder apart, I pulled the page and it tore apart. Just continue doing whatever you want."

"Oh."

Smiling, turned around again, Kong Huan took a few steps to the gate, but stopped again, as if something was ringing.

Chu Xia paused, and her page-turning action slowed down a little, and then she continued to turn the pages steadily.

squeak
There was the sound of the door being opened and then being closed, followed by the sound of books being put down in the hut.

Feeling very bored, or not interested in reading it for the time being, Chu Xia just sat on the bed like this, staring at the thick book cover in front of her with rapt eyes.

The title of the book is "The Nether Cloud Conjecture of the Energy Disturbance Array", and it is just a very ordinary book. Most of the books in this hut are of this type.

There are many similar books in the Friends Clan. Ever since Chu Xia fell into the sea of ​​books, she would often let God Attendants or floating ships bring books from the Friends Clan.

Because most of my friends are recommended to become researchers, and the government encourages to write out their own opinions, achievements, and even some fantasies. The Central Publishing House will charge for such books as long as they verify that there are no plagiarism, comprehensive repetition, etc. After a very small printing fee, publication is granted.

For books with bright spots, the publication fee is directly exempted.

As for how much the author can get in the future, that's another story, but this also led to the accumulation of various books of Pengzu.

Before the communication network had further developed into an information network and hard disks for information storage appeared, all the knowledge of the friends was recorded in piles of books.

Nowadays, in addition to libraries in various places, Xinpeng Island (floating island) and Gashan City (underground city) each have an ethnic group library, which preserves all published books. The stock of books in the library is just the tip of the iceberg in front of the ethnic library.

Of course, how many books in the library are fantasies, conjectures, stories, etc., it is not known to Chu Xia and others who have not paid more attention to them.I'm afraid that the whole family, and only the librarians of the two libraries, can roughly understand it.

Sitting here like this, Chu Xia, who was longing for the knowledge in the books, found that she didn't want to touch it.

Looking back on the more than a month of playing, although she spent most of the time reading in the empty arms, she could still see the changing scenery from the corner of her eyes, instead of the current dull study bedroom.

Now that Kong Huan left, no one would dare to do this in the future, so going back to the past again?
"What's good out there."

With a stubborn grunt, she just leaned against the corner and remained indifferent.

In fact, Chu Xia herself knows best that her so-called reasons for pursuing more knowledge, or being unable to accept the massive changes brought about by the rapid development of her friends do exist, but they are not the most important reasons.

The main reason lies in the confusion about eternal life.

Chu Xia has the ability to live forever, but she doesn't have the mentality of an immortal. Many people in the friend clan are like this.

Kong Huan has already experienced a long life from the small cell period to the present, and driven by that indifferent personality, he quickly adapted to the life mode brought about by this long life.

And because of various time adjustments in the system during those periods, Kong Huan didn't notice this change at all. When time calmed down, he was completely used to eternal life.

At the same time, his eternal life is not of the same type as other friends: the empty phantom body is the main consciousness, even if it dies, there is no problem; while other energy bodies of the ethnic group, their eternal life is single, as long as the energy body is destroyed, basically It is total death.

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, emptiness is the real eternal life, while the energy bodies of the ethnic group are just eternal life without upper limit.

Therefore, the only fear of emptiness is the destruction of friends; while energy bodies, even if their mentality changes, still have the fear of single life.What's more, because there is no continuous adaptation brought by the system, it is not something that the energy body among friends can adapt to immortality in a few decades.

Using oneself to judge others, Kong Huan believes that other people can also adjust their mentality immediately when they become an energy body with a long life, but in fact this is not the case.

The whole ethnic group, people who have really adapted to immortality and have changed their mentality because of it: Kong Phantom counts as one, Bai Nong and Dark Blood together may count as one, other than that, basically there is no one. (except 8051 and Bimonthly)
No matter Chu Xia, Chu Jie, Ling Xue or anyone else, they have not really adapted to immortality. Their bodies are not aging, but their hearts are gradually aging. After that, you can gradually transform into a real immortal.

This process is lengthy.

As one of the elders of the Peng family, Chu Xia's current emotional problems are actually because, after nearly a hundred years of life, she finally began to experience the process of changing her mentality from a mortal to an immortal.

Her so-called reluctance to go out was only because she realized that the long time brought by eternal life was incompatible with the changes in the surrounding environment, and thus she felt confused about eternal life.

Because of fear, she closed herself in a small world (the bedroom); at the same time, because she wanted to resist the fear and further accept the world, she forced herself to learn a lot of book knowledge.

"Maybe, it's okay to just sleep like this for hundreds of years."

Chu Xia, who knew her physical condition, thought about it and looked at the books around her, but she felt a sense of boredom. However, the Friends Clan still had many problems, and the Shadow Clan also had many tasks, so she couldn't sleep yet.

"It's really troublesome."
