The sudden disappearance of Shen Mo and Chen Mengze made Chen An worried and even affected his progress in opening up the spiritual sea!
Now that the two of them had returned safely, Chen An was naturally in a good mood, drank a lot of wine, and talked a lot.
Perhaps he knew that he was not at a high level and could no longer give them any advice, so he did not talk much about spiritual practice, but talked about the prosperous years of the past...
He talked about how he held the newborn Chen Mengze and escaped from the Liu and Wu monks; how he joined the Linjiang Sect under the persuasion of Shen Mo's father; how he worked hard in the inner and outer sects, Obtained the identity of the outer sect's deacon; how to hunt monsters in the Linjiang Mountains and earn cultivation resources with difficulty!
In addition, he also talked a lot about the stupid things and interesting things Shen Mo and Chen Mengze did when they were young. It wasn't until he was full of wine that he lay down drunkenly on the stone table.
After helping Chen An into the house and settling down, Shen Mo invited Chen Mengze to walk around and talk about her plan to attack the later stage of Yuan Dan!
Immediately, clouds and mist rose under their feet, and they strolled leisurely throughout the mountains and rivers.
The mountains and rivers at this time were already different from the mountains and rivers more than a hundred years ago. Because Dongtian was in the fairyland, the aura of heaven and earth was much richer, and the scenery and products in the region were far better than before.
The moonlight is just right.
The breeze came slowly and blew on the two of them. Their clothes were fluttering and graceful, like a pair of gods!
"Uncle Chen...it seems that he no longer worries about your life-long affairs." Shen Mo said slowly with a drunken look on his face.
During the banquet, neither he nor Chen Mengze deliberately used Qigong to remove the power of alcohol. If they did so, drinking with Uncle Chen would not appear sincere, and they would also lose the joy of drinking.
Anyway, there is nothing important at the moment, so you can enjoy this feeling of elation.
Chen Mengze also had a drunken blush on her face, and her crystal-clear skin was the color of pink peach blossoms. The drunkenness diluted the cold aura on her body, making her really cute and attractive.
Facing the night wind, her eyebrows and body relaxed, and she said with a happy expression: "I successfully condensed the Yuan Dan, and my father stopped talking about this matter. Maybe he gave up after seeing that I was successful in the road. Got this idea..."
Shen Mo thought for a moment and felt that this might be the reason.
At that time, Chen Mengze was only a Qi Gathering monk, and his lifespan was only two hundred years. Uncle Chen would naturally want to find a good son-in-law for her, and then produce heirs to continue the Chen family bloodline.
But as her realm got higher and higher, things began to change.
A monk in the spiritual sea realm has a lifespan of five hundred years, and because the differences between individuals become larger as the level of cultivation increases, the chance of giving birth to an heir is extremely small;
Not to mention Yuandan realm monks, not only can they enjoy a thousand years of life, but existences in this realm can hardly reproduce through the combination of yin and yang like normal men and women!
Nowadays, Chen Mengze is already a monk in the middle stage of Yuan Dan. With her current qualifications and accumulation, the Shenqiao realm is not unattainable...
At this level of cultivation, it is almost impossible to conceive children, and marriage is of little significance.
And now she has a thousand years of life. Once she successfully builds the divine bridge, she can live for three thousand years. She will even live longer than most of the immortal cultivating families in the world. Even the meaning of breeding offspring has been completely eliminated. lose!
In this way, Chen An naturally no longer cares about her life-long events as before, but is more concerned about whether her path is smooth.
This matter is generally the same whether it is in the Taichu Realm or the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
Low-level monks have not yet completely separated from the secular world. In order to continue the value of their lives and ideals in future generations, they will definitely regard matters such as male-female marriage, breeding of heirs, and master-disciple inheritance as extremely important.
But once you become a high-level monk and have a long life, your family, heirs, etc. become irrelevant matters;
At this time, becoming a Taoist couple is more about having someone to support you on the path to immortality!
"Then what do you think?" Shen Mo suddenly stopped and stood above the clouds and under the bright moon, looking at Chen Mengze quietly.
His eyes were clear and bright, like two stars shining brightly, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face.
Chen Mengze was a little embarrassed by his gaze, but he raised his head slightly without showing any signs of weakness and looked into his eyes: "Is it possible that you still don't understand my thoughts until now?"
"It's a pity that back then, I was only thinking about avenging my mother and the Chen family's blood feud. I thought you were too weak and I always looked down on you."
"When I came back to my senses, you were soaring up like a real dragon riding the wind, with Junior Sister Lingyin beside you. What do you think I should do? I cried and hung myself like a woman in the market, desperately trying to win over you. of love and affection? Or should I be that talkative woman and sow discord between you and Zhao Lingyin so that I can get you back? Or should I stay humble, flatter you, and commit myself to you as your concubine?"
Looking at Chen Mengze's beautiful face under the moonlight and listening to her confiding her heart, Shen Mo felt a little dazed for a moment.
The memories of his youth and his vague feelings for Chen Mengze have long since become distant and dissipated, so he has always regarded her as a classmate, relative and friend!
However, with the passage of time, as they get along with each other for more than a hundred years, the relationship between the two seems to have become more subtle... Shen Mo also gradually noticed the changes in her, and even asked more clearly about his own heart. She became an indispensable presence on the road.
Therefore, he took advantage of his drunkenness today to ask Chen Mengze what he thought, trying to redefine the relationship between the two.
However, this matter is not like spiritual practice, and it is not Shen Mo's business alone. Chen Mengze has her own thoughts and plans, as does her Taoist companion Zhao Lingyin; he can naturally rely on his high Taoism to impose his will on the two of them. , but once he does this, what he values most will disappear in an instant, and it will no longer have any meaning!
Shen Mo walked forward slowly, touched Chen Mengze's cheek with the back of his fingers, and whispered softly: "I am not a spirit of grass and trees, how can I not know your thoughts? If you are willing..."
"I don't want to!"
Chen Mengze seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. He rubbed his cheek against the back of his hand and said with a sweet smile, "It's fine the way it is now. There's no need to change anything."
"You and I have transcended the ordinary world. One day, we may be able to cultivate into true immortals. By then, we will have almost infinite lifespan. No matter how beautiful the skin is, it will grow tired of looking at it for millions of years. No matter how hot it is, Emotions will become dull after tens of millions of years! Although you and I are not Taoist couples, if we continue to support each other on the road to immortality, wouldn't we be better than Taoist couples?"
"And what I want now is not to be left behind by you, and end up as humble as a firefly, in the weeds and mud, looking up at your bright moon hanging high in the night sky. I only think about thousands of years and billions of years from now, I can still stand beside you like today, enjoying the breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery under the moon with you!"
