Chapter 2649 Better to die than live
Chen Mo looked at the armored man in front of him, but he knew that the core of the armored man had become another person.
But what he couldn't understand was, since this person knew that she was hiding here and was trying to sabotage and destroy her formation, why didn't he take action after they met, but instead started chatting in a friendly manner?
What a strange behavior.
Lan Caijie received unusual knowledge, but it was still difficult for her to understand it clearly. So after Chen Mo's explanation and description of some basic concepts such as planets, she gradually understood some things.
Looking at Shen Zhou in front of her, her facial expression kept changing, and finally she smiled with relief. She knew that this guy named Shen Zhou was definitely thinking about why she didn't take action, but just talked to him.
"Are you wondering why I don't take action against you now that I have found you?" Lan Caijie asked with a smile.
Chen Mo also laughed, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Although it's embarrassing to admit it, but now that it's brought up, just admit it directly.
In fact, he didn't want to take action. He didn't know the overall strength of the cultivator in front of him. If he was stronger than him, he would suffer a loss. Although his spiritual sense could check some approximate strength, he didn't think of using it to scan the armored man in front of him.
Chen Mo was very clear about his own spiritual consciousness. It was too special. His strength was only at the foundation-building stage, but his spiritual consciousness had reached the golden elixir stage. If he was discovered by a cultivator, wouldn't he have some bad thoughts? After all, no one knew what he was thinking.
Moreover, the person in front of him not only has the soul stone, but also has something good that can suppress the spiritual sea of consciousness. It seems that he is very accomplished in this area. So, if you don’t know his strength, it is better to keep a low profile.
Therefore, not only did Chen Mo not use his spiritual sense to investigate anything, but even his words and tone were more tactful.
Lan Caijie turned around and looked at the entire cave hall. At this moment, it showed a doomsday scene. Except for not being able to see the sky, the entire underground city appeared to be a small ruin.
"You know, I have lived for more than a thousand years and have never met a cultivator. Today, at the last moment of my life, I met a cultivator like me. I am really lucky. Moreover, I haven't talked to other people for a long time. After meeting you, I really want to talk to you. In addition, I have some doubts that I want you to answer for me." Lan Caijie said.
Chen Mo naturally nodded and agreed. As for what to say and what to answer, that depended on whether it involved key issues or some of his own privacy. If it did, he would naturally not say it.
Although Lan Caijie has very few contacts with people, she has lived for thousands of years, so she can naturally see something about people's hearts. So, she naturally doesn't care about Chen Mo's expression.
"Well, let me tell you about my experience first, so that I can gain your trust and be able to answer any questions I have." Lan Caijie said, and then she briefly summarized her life again. Of course, she replaced herself with Madam Ru.
Chen Mo was filled with emotion as he listened to Mrs. Ru slowly narrating her life story. He had never thought that she had so many experiences. It really broadened his horizons.
Lan Caijie even told some of the stories about how she got the treasure. Also, this body was also a warrior before, but after meeting him, he died in his hands. In the end, he used forbidden techniques to refine it into a puppet that he could control.
"I didn't expect that Madam Ru's power is so brilliant. It's really something to be desired." Chen Mo was not saying nice things, nor was he speaking against his will. He was really envious.
Thinking about the fact that thousands of years ago, not only were people galloping across the desert, but they also had all kinds of strange experiences, it really broadens my horizons.
"Now you can understand why I didn't attack you directly after seeing you, but wanted to chat with you." Lan Caijie said with a smile.
Chen Mo nodded. There was nothing much to say. It had been made clear just now that she didn't have much time left. It couldn't even be said in days, but in hours.
Of course, Chen Mo would not blindly believe everything. After all, for such things, he would only believe it after seeing the results. Before seeing the results, he would not believe it completely.
"Then, can you also tell me how you became a monk?" Lan Caijie asked. She was really curious. On this planet, well, the planets she understood were just spheres. As for why people could stand on them, what gravity was, she was so confused that she went home. Her mother opened the door for her. She was so confused!
But she did not express her doubts. Chen Mo's narration was so exciting that she was embarrassed to interrupt him. She could only keep her doubts to herself for the time being.
Up to now, there are only a few monks on this planet, so people are naturally very curious about how to become a monk.
Even though she has lived for a thousand years, her heart is still young and she wants to know these things.
Chen Mo looked at Mrs. Ru's curious questioning and could only smile awkwardly, selectively telling some of his experiences. Of course, there wasn't much to say originally, and after the brief summary, there was even less.
After listening to this, Lan Caijie nodded and said, "I didn't expect that you and I got the same inheritance. We both embarked on this path of cultivation after obtaining something left behind by a deceased cultivator."
"Yes!" Chen Mo nodded in reply. He did not say that his inheritance was really different from the inheritance that Madam Ru mentioned. He really had an inheritance, but Madam Ru's was, to put it simply, just a kind of good fortune.
If you can cultivate it, it will be good. If you can't cultivate it, it only means that you don't have the talent for cultivation. Unexpectedly, the two of them were able to embark on the path of cultivation. They were both a little strange, and it also made them closer.
"It seems that becoming a cultivator is a rather boring and even lonely path," said Lan Caijie.
Chen Mo agreed that being a cultivator was indeed quite lonely, and it was difficult to meet other cultivators like him.
"Madam Ru, the sister you just mentioned, could she be the one who entered the jar in the hall earlier?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes, it's her. Because of her injury, she can only stay in the jar. Because of this, a lot of gossips have arisen, and one of them has even become a legend among the people." Lan Caijie said.
Sure enough, anything becomes obviously different from the real thing after a long time. It seems that the more it spreads, the more incredible it becomes.
"Then you don't have any grudge against your sister's death?" Chen Mo asked.
"I don't have any hatred anymore. Maybe I did have some in the past. But in the current situation, there is nothing much to say. Maybe dying is also a kind of relief." An expression of relief and liberation emerged on Lan Caijie's face.
"Sometimes, living a long life is not a good thing. Really, if you live too long, you will wish you could die. Isn't that funny?" Lan Caijie asked Chen Mo.
Chen Mo did not nod this time and said, "Maybe, I haven't experienced it, so I don't know. But if it were me, I would hope to live longer."
Although he had successfully established his foundation and his life span had been extended, who would complain that their life was too short? Perhaps the woman in front of him would complain that her life was too short.
But if he wanted to die, why did he use any voodoo or forbidden technique to treat his poisoned body? He has lived like this for nearly a thousand years, and now he says he doesn't want to live anymore. It's really amazing.
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, so Chen Mo took out some tables and chairs from his Qiankun bag, sat down, and had a good chat with the woman named Madam Ru.
Moreover, he took out some food and wine, which were all from the Qiankun bag. Madam Ru also had a Qiankun bag, and she had seen her use it before, so there was nothing to hide. He took out the things from the Qiankun bag and entertained Madam Ru.
When Madam Ru saw these foods, she missed the past. The eldest daughter also liked to eat delicious food, but she did not survive. She died young, which was really a pitiful and tragic life.
After taking the bottle and pouring a glass for himself and Madam Ru, Madam Ru took off her helmet without any concern, revealing a face that had been blackened by electricity and was almost unrecognizable.
Mrs. Ru and Chen Mo didn't care about this.
It was just a face. She was about to die, and the time was counting down. Why was she still thinking so much? She picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Although the body was not her own, it was no different from her own now.
The feeling that comes from the taste buds is really hard to describe.
The two of them drank and chatted, just like a pair of friends who hadn't met for a long time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
If it weren't for the face that had been electrocuted and turned black and half-cooked, and the doomsday scene around it, it would be hard to say that it was just a casual chat.
Now with the background added, it does seem a bit weird when people see it.
"Madam Ru, do you really have no time?" Chen Mo asked again curiously. However, he had some other thoughts in his mind.
"What do you think?" Lan Caijie laughed and drank another gulp of wine. It tasted really good. This wine was good.
"In fact, it is better to live a miserable life than to die." Chen Mo said.
Lan Caijie glanced at him and said, "Of course I know, but it's already like this. I even lost my body just now. How can I live? Once this forbidden technique is performed, it is irreversible. Otherwise, it would not burn the body and turn it into nourishment for the soul."
It has come to this and there is nothing much to say. Just make everything clear. There is no need to keep anything secret. Besides, it is not a secret. Cultivators have many methods. Maybe the guy in front of me has one or several forbidden techniques.
"Actually, I might be able to keep you alive," Chen Mo said.
"What!" All of a sudden, the wine glass in Lan Caijie's hand fell. She also stared at Chen Mo and stopped talking.
