Yi Xin also saw Su Qingjun walking in front of her. Her footsteps paused for a moment before she walked over. She then smiled and greeted Su Qingjun, saying, "Shijie Su, are you also going to the grass garden?"
The road they were currently walking on was a side road that branched off from the main road and only led to the grass garden.
Su Qingjun nodded and said, "I have a spiritual herb planted there, so I'm going to take a look. What about you? Are you also going to see the spiritual herb? "
Yi Xin smiled and said, "Not really. I have a friend working there, so I'm going to see him on the way."
"Oh." Su Qingjun smiled, and the two young and beautiful women naturally walked forward side by side, chatting along the way.
The two of them had similar backgrounds — they were both daughters of influential families in Kunwu City. Their ages were also about the same, so as they chatted, they began to resonate with each other. For example, the beautiful scenery of Kunwu City and the stories of human relationships — they unexpectedly had quite a lot in common, so they suddenly felt a lot closer to each other.
In the end, Yi Xin sighed and said to Su Qingjun with a smile, "I didn't expect Sister Su to be such an easy person to get along with."
Su Qingjun smiled and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that you've heard before that I'm not easy to get along with?"
"No, no." Yi Xin promptly denied and said with a smile, "That's because Sister Su, you've been so outstanding since you were young. After I learned about you, I always felt that you were more powerful than ordinary people like us in every aspect, as if you were high up above us. I never dared to think that I could be so close to you."
Su Qingjun smiled and her eyes were gentle, but when her gaze swept over Yi Xin's pretty and youthful face, she saw the scar on the side of Yi Xin's white and rosy cheeks, which appeared exceptionally abrupt and dazzling on that youthful face.
Her heart trembled for no reason. When she looked at Yi Xin again, there was a hint of pity in her eyes. She wanted to ask about this matter, but she quickly suppressed this thought.
She looked at Yi Xin with a smile and chatted with her. It was as if she did not see anything wrong at all, as if the wound had never existed. Her expression seemed to become even more intimate.
Just as they were about to reach the grass garden, a chirping sound suddenly came from above their heads. The two of them looked up and were startled. They saw a flock of about eight or nine birds fluttering their wings as they flew over their heads in a panic.
"Eh?"
Yi Xin looked at the direction the flock of birds flew in and was shocked. "Why are these birds flying into the grass garden?"
Su Qingjun furrowed her brows as well. She looked a little puzzled.
The Fragrance Garden was a medicinal garden. All kinds of spiritual herbs and spiritual materials were planted, which were very valuable. However, since they were spiritual herbs rich in spiritual energy, in addition to being useful to human cultivators, they would naturally attract the covetous eyes of some birds and beasts.
Therefore, in order to prevent spiritual materials from being damaged, Baicao Tang built walls and fences around the Fragrance Garden, and sent people to patrol and guard, blocking all kinds of wild beasts in the forest on the ground. As for some birds that could fly, Baicao Tang naturally had countermeasures. They set up some talisman formations around the spiritual fields in the Fragrance Garden, and from time to time emitted some aura that was feared and disgusted by the birds, so there had never been any birds around the Fragrance Garden.
But today, this flock of birds suddenly flew in the direction of the grass garden, as if they did not have any scruples all of a sudden. It was really strange.
Su Qingjun pondered for a moment, and said with some uncertainty, "Perhaps the formation in the grass garden was suddenly damaged and lost its effectiveness? But there are guards and disciples patrolling the garden on weekdays. If it's just a few birds, it should be no big deal. "
Yi Xin thought about it and nodded with a smile, saying, "Sister is right. Then let's continue."
Su Qingjun agreed, and the two continued to walk towards the grass garden.
As they walked, Su Qingjun looked up and saw that the sky was clear at the moment. The flock of birds that were flying seemed to be quite fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. They must have flown into the grass garden.
Looking from afar, the grass garden was quiet, and it seemed no different from the past. But when she thought of those birds just now, for some reason, Su Qingjun suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.
What had happened to the birds?
…
In the grass garden, Lu Chen and He Changsheng stood opposite each other, and He Changsheng's face did not look very good.
"Why?" He Changsheng asked Lu Chen in a low voice, frowning deeply. It was obvious that he was unhappy.
Lu Chen looked at him for a while, then said, "You want to hear the truth?"
"Yes."
"You are only a servant disciple, and your family has declined. You sold all your family's assets, and you have no one to help you other than yourself. You think that if you rely on yourself, you won't be able to leave much for your future children. "Lu Chen said calmly, completely ignoring He Changsheng's pale face.
"You think that one day, the descendants of the He family will one day rise again. Let's not talk about whether or not your descendants will be as stubborn as you, but have you ever thought that with your status, it is impossible for your children to enter the Kunlun Party on their own? They will also have to go through the barrier of the Immortal Mirror. So, even if you work hard all your life and save something for your child, as long as one thing happens, it can easily turn your life's hard work into nothing. "
"What is it?" He Changsheng couldn't help but ask.
Lu Chen sighed, "What if, after a few decades, the Kunlun Party suddenly increases the fees to participate in the Immortal Mirror?"
He Changsheng's entire body trembled. His eyes widened, "Impossible! The Kunlun Party is a famous sect, they can't … "
"What if?" Lu Chen interrupted him with a question of his own.
He Changsheng murmured, "What if …"
"Among this year's batch of servant disciples, there are many who bribed their way in. Do you really not know? It's only a matter of a few words. If someone really lacks money and becomes shameless, who will you go to to reason with? "
He Changsheng was tongue-tied and at a loss for words. His expression was unsightly like ash.
Lu Chen looked at him and stretched out a hand, palm facing up, "Look, in this world, people are born differently. Some people are born to stand at the top, and there are others, like you … me … "He slowly turned his palm over and gently pressed it towards the ground.
Watching the movement of his palm, He Changsheng's body seemed to tremble slightly. His eyes didn't blink, but they seemed to have lost their previous brightness.
Lu Chen pressed his palm very low, then said softly, "Think about it yourself. What right do you have to make a comeback?"
He Changsheng raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Could it be that people like us will never be able to take another step forward in our lives? Could it be that our children and grandchildren can only be people under this person? "
"Achieve immortality, ascend to the heavens on the Great Dao, and all living beings have the fate of immortality. Aren't these words passed down from the golden mouths of our ancestors? "He looked a little agitated, even a little angry.
"Fate of immortality, there always has been." Lu Chen said, "But how small is the hope? Will the one hundred thousand people in Kunlun coincidentally fall on your head?"
He Changsheng took a deep breath, his expression seemed to calm down a little, and said, "If that's the case, then why are you telling me so much?"
Lu Chen looked at him, and said, "I just feel that you don't need to pin your hopes on the next generation. If there is fate of immortality, you can make a comeback in this life. If there is no fate of immortality, it's useless even if you struggle for a lifetime and pass it on to your children and grandchildren. "
He Changsheng was silent for a long time, and said, "That makes sense."
…
In the spirit fields, that man turned around and picked up the hoe, looking like he was going to work diligently again. Lu Chen stood at the side, and looked at him with interest, and said, "What, depressed?"
He Changsheng didn't even raise his head, and said, "Yes, but no matter how depressed I am, I still have to work."
"Not waiting for fate of immortality?"
"Of course, why not? What if a pie falls from the sky and hits me? "
Lu Chen smiled, and said, "If you have such luck, why don't you try to see if there's lightning in the daytime on this sunny day?"
He Changsheng raised his head to look at the sky, and Lu Chen also raised his head to look into the distance, only to see that the sky was blue, and there was no movement at all.
After a moment, the two withdrew their gazes, and looked at each other. Lu Chen spread out his hands.
He Changsheng shook his head, and said, "That kind of thing is too unreliable, how can there really be … Aiya!"
He suddenly cried out, and covered his head with his hand. Something fell from the sky, and just happened to hit his head.
Lu Chen, who was standing at the side, was also startled, and subconsciously said, "It can't be so coincidental …"
After a moment, the two looked at the same time, and then they were both startled. They saw that the thing that hit He Changsheng's head was a ball of fluffy, and at this moment, it was thrown to the ground. Looking closely, it was a small bird.
He Changsheng bent down to pick it up, and held it in his palm to look at it, and said to Lu Chen, "It's dead."
"Dead bird?"
Lu Chen was also surprised. Right at this moment, they heard a series of chirping sounds. The two of them looked up and saw a flock of about four to five birds flying over their heads in a panic and anxiously.
"Why are there birds here?" He Changsheng asked in puzzlement.
"I don't know." Lu Chen was also a little puzzled. He then glanced at the dead bird in He Changsheng's hand, only to see that it was the most ordinary of chickadees, only half the size of a palm. At this moment, its dead body was curled up into a ball, as if even at death's door, this bird seemed to be unusually terrified.
At this moment, a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in Lu Chen's heart, but he didn't know where this feeling came from. He also didn't know that not long ago, a similar feeling arose in Su Qingjun's heart at the entrance of the Grass Garden.
He turned around and looked at the few small birds flying far away, watching them flapping their wings in panic, desperately flying into the distance as if they were fleeing for their lives, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the distant mountain forest.
He silently thought for a moment, and suddenly looked back, only to see that on the path of those birds, the undulating mountains of Kunlun, like a silent giant standing between heaven and earth.
The mountains were deep, and seemed to be locked in a dense fog.
