Chapter 78: Let’s look for it

This long letter completely shocked us.

At the Bamboo Grove, by the long table in the open space in front of the corridor, the tea was already slightly cold, but we were still sitting here in a daze.

After a long time, Chengzhen was the first to speak, saying, “Chengyi, how did Gao Ning die in the end? Was his ending good?”

Obviously, Gao Ning’s letter had moved Chengzhen to some extent. After all, it was the last letter he left, and it was the most essential thing in his heart. Of course, it would show a person’s kindness, and kind people always make people feel sympathy, don’t they?

I took a sip of the slightly cool tea, and the scene of Gao Ning’s death on that day came back to my mind. I couldn’t help but feel a little sad. After a long silence, I said to my sister Chengzhen, “That day, I used the Zhongmao technique to summon the master’s spirit and used the golden thunder talisman to personally end Gao Ning. He just sat there, watching the sunset. When the first bolt of lightning was about to fall, I remember he looked back at us. You know, the lightning fell very quickly. After three bolts, he… Anyway, from beginning to end, except for that one look back at us, he didn’t move. He was very calm and resolute in his decision to die.

Cheng Xin said, “A wise man is wise to the very end. If I were him, I would choose to die at that time, too. In that state, it would be difficult to find someone who could kill him. If he doesn’t die, his soul will completely merge with the worms. If he dies, his soul will be released. At least to some extent, Gao Ning will still be Gao Ning. He was smart, but also proud. Perhaps he understood in the end that if he could completely merge with the worms, it would be possible to reach Kunlun. What he couldn’t accept was that he had given up his soul and ended up in Kunlun. When he wasn’t even himself anymore, what was the point of going to Kunlun?

“So did that purple bug really deceive Buhua?” Ru Yue asked, resting her chin in her hand and blinking her big eyes.

Yes, she and Ru Xue are both germinated by the bug, and their feelings for the bug are beyond our understanding. She asked this question because deep down, she didn’t want the bug to deceive Bu Hua, and we couldn’t tell from Gao Ning’s letter whether or not there was deception.

Cheng Qing thought for a long time before saying, “Maybe it was a lie, but we can only say maybe, because it is still unknown whether a bug and a person can be separated once they reach the so-called Kunlun. However, Gao Ning is very smart, and there is still hope until the last moment. If he judges that it is not a lie until the last moment, he may not choose to escape by death.”

“But that’s just your speculation. What if Gao Ning just felt that he was losing himself and had no confidence that he would be separated from the Kunlun?” Ru Yue said with some persistence.

“Do you know the reason? When Buhua finally chose the human, she drugged the bugs. Do you think the bugs are not intelligent? They were just controlled by the Black Rock Miao Village in a special way. But the drug was already drunk without being prepared. One would have an attack on the spot. So if they are not stupid, they will naturally think about what to do in the future, and naturally… they will use another way to retaliate. Playing the emotional card is not the patent of humans. Intelligent creatures can do that. Zi Zi had every reason to deceive Bu Hua. It might have been betting that Bu Hua would not be able to let go of their feelings, or that her descendants would not be able to resist the temptation of Kunlun. Betting is not a 100% sure thing, but at least it can be a possibility, right? This is the wisdom of the insects,” said Cheng Qing.

Ruyue was silent.

In fact, there are still many unexplained problems before us. Why is Gao Ning different from the Great Shaman? Gao Ning is a human-insect hybrid, while the Great Shaman is a stepping stone.

What kind of story does the witch have with the bugs? What is the method of controlling the bugs in the Black Rock Miao Village? Who taught them?

But this is their unique secret. After all, with the death of all the insects, all of this will die out. Whether the insects deceived Gao Ning is meaningless to discuss. To put it more sadly, after reading this letter, we have realized that we are far from a certain level, and this is not something we can discuss now.

There was another moment of silence. Huigen had already fallen asleep on the table from boredom. No one spoke. After all, it was too shocking to think about, and if you said it out loud, you might not be able to accept it yourself.

Just as I believe in the existence of spirits, spirits with too much negative energy become the so-called evil spirits. But I have never seen the so-called underworld, so it is difficult for me to say with certainty to others that there is reincarnation.

Because the above question cannot be answered by the existence of a spirit, because no one knows in what form the spirit will be reborn. What if it is broken down into new energy, combined, and regenerated?

This is because the level is low, so the vision is limited, and you can’t explain the problem yourself.

So I can’t accept it, and it’s very difficult to believe in the so-called Kunlun. Spread out the world map, where is it?

Faced with the silence of everyone, Qin Huai touched his chin and said, “No matter how amazing it is to be hard to accept, you can’t just sit there and stare, right? Cheng Yi said that there might be clues in the letter, and the clues have come out. At least Gao Ning’s letter proves the existence of Kunlun. This is what your master admitted, and there is no need for Gao Ning to lie to you about these places. Now the answer is obvious. Master Jiang and the others are very likely to go find your master. Didn’t you judge this way from the beginning? All the clues, all the wrong things, all point to your master and Kunlun. What are you doing? You have to think about what to do next.

Cheng Qing said, “My master is dead, but this was his lifelong wish. Don’t think I’m not enthusiastic about this. If we can really find Kunlun and my master, I’ll light three incense sticks and tell him in front of my master, so that he can rest in peace in the underworld. But the question is, how do we find Kunlun? If we don’t even know how to find him, how can we do it in the future?

Cheng Qing’s words are exactly what we are worried about. If Master and the others went to find Kunlun, they must have had some kind of clue or some kind of certainty. And they grew up with Master since they were young, so they must know a lot more than we do. Unlike us, they don’t have to spend time to accept this so-called Kunlun.

Only when they accept it from the bottom of their hearts can they devote themselves to it wholeheartedly. Besides, Master and the others went to Kunlun, which is only our judgment.

I have to admit that at this point, I still don’t quite accept the existence of so-called immortals, and then the idea that there is a fairyland in the sky is also destined to be less accepted.

Qin Huai said, “Brother, I don’t have much knowledge, but I have a lot of connections. I know a lot of so-called high-tech talents and academicians. I heard a saying that our eyes often deceive us. To be specific, I can’t express it well. That is to say, our eyes are only that good. They are not as good as the eyes of some insects and animals. In other words, who can be sure that the world we see is the most real world? I grew up with Chengyi since I was a teenager. Just like me, I always believed in ghosts and feng shui. Then a buddy of mine challenged me, saying that there are no ghosts, and that there is no evidence because the camera hasn’t taken a single picture. Hey, when it comes to this, I really don’t have any words, but at that time, a buddy with a unique knowledge was right next to me. He said, “You can’t deny it because of this. Why? Because cameras are modeled after human eyes, and even now, they still can’t come close to the level of detail of human eyes. A photograph can never reproduce the reality that human eyes see. Just like mountains and water, they’re not as vivid as human eyes see them. You’re saying that things that human eyes can’t see, cameras can capture? That’s nonsense! Then, do you understand what I mean?

I innocently asked, “What do you mean?”

Qin Huai rolled his eyes and said, “That means that people who haven’t seen Kunlun can’t prove that Kunlun doesn’t exist! Then if it exists, go find it! Your master can’t lie.”

I have to say that Qin Huai’s words gave us a lot of encouragement. This simple and straightforward person also has a very simple and straightforward way of thinking, which makes us, a group of people who think too much, seem a bit ridiculous.

Since this is the case, as Qin Huai said, we should start looking. I don’t believe that we can’t find a clue if our masters can do it!
