Zhan Tai Mingyue could not continue to ask, and Lingchu also did not continue to speak.
After a period of silence, the girl, who was as bright as the moonlight, suddenly spoke and said, "It seems that I have never told you about my life experience."
Lingchu raised his head in surprise, the faint sadness on his face not having time to dissipate.
Senior Sister Zhantai is from a large family in the Eastern Continent, the Zhantai family. This is a well-known fact.
"I come from a big family. My parents are still here, but it's almost as if they are not here." The look on Zhan Taimingyue's face was as quiet as a lake in the middle of the night, calm and cold, " My grandfather is a Nascent Soul monk. He has lived for thousands of years and has three out of ten descendants. Among them, only three have spiritual roots and are still alive today. My father is the only son among them. However, his qualifications It's not good. With the support of my family and the push and pull of my grandfather, I have now reached the level of Jindan. My mother is just one of my father's Taoist companions. She is valued because she gave birth to me. There are nine brothers and sisters, but none of them are from the same mother.”
Lingchu listened to Senior Sister Zhantai speaking with a calm tone and cold face. Suddenly, the faint sadness in her heart dissipated a lot, and instead she looked at Senior Sister Zhantai in a daze.
She knew that Senior Sister Zhantai was from a family of cultivators, and that it was a big family, but she didn't know that big families in the world of cultivators were not much better than big mundane families.
On the contrary, it may be even more cruel.
Because, in the world of cultivation, families measure the value of a descendant by looking at spiritual roots. However, even among monks, the probability of a child born with spiritual roots is higher, but this cannot be changed. After all, there are only a few people with roots.
The monks who are able to practice will see their parents, children, brothers and sisters, who have no spiritual roots and are just mortals, slowly growing old and dying.
Thousands of years later, I was left alone in this world, looking around, but only loneliness was with me.
Speaking of her parents, there was a rare change in Zhan Taimingyue's expression, but it was a sarcastic look, "My father, his greatest value to the family is to continue to have children. My mother, her greatest wish is to be able to Give me another younger brother. It would be best if that younger brother has the same qualifications as me."
"I have been in the clan for more than ten years, and I can count on my ten fingers the number of times I have seen my father and my mother. Ever since I was sensible, my life day after day has been to refine my physical body and stimulate my spiritual body. When the bones are finalized, it’s time to practice. Do you know why I don’t want to stay in the clan to practice, but choose to join the sect?”
Zhan Taimingyue enunciated each sentence clearly, and her voice was neither high nor low. Except for a little bit of emotion leaking out at the beginning, it was only dull after that.
Hearing Senior Sister Zhantai's question, Lingchu tilted his head slightly and said tentatively, "Maybe it's because the sect is more interesting? It's more lively?"
Lingchu's answer put a faint smile on Zhan Taimingyue's cold face, and his calm voice also had ups and downs, "You are right, the sect is indeed interesting and lively."
"However, I chose to leave the family because... the people in the family are really boring!" On Zhan Taimingyue's cold and bright face, suddenly it looked like flowers blooming in midsummer, and her eyebrows stretched and dazzled. , "When my parents saw me, they would only ask how I was doing in my cultivation. They never asked me what I like to eat or how I was doing. My brothers and sisters, when they saw me, it was like they were seeing an enemy. They were all jealous. , my tribesmen, when they see me, are full of respect and fear, fearing that I, the so-called future hope of the tribe, will not be pleasing to them, and then they will complain in front of my grandfather, and their days in the tribe will be ruined. It will be sad.”
"It's really boring! Boring!"
Lingchu looked at Senior Sister Zhantai's rare childlike words and her bright smile like a summer flower. For a moment, she was still in a daze.
Zhan Tai Mingyue's emotions came and went just as quickly. In just a moment, it seemed as if the person who smiled brightly just now was not her, and her original cold face returned to her original cold face in the blink of an eye.
"Lingchu, I came to Sanqing Dao Sect and met you. I am really happy to meet you."
Zhan Taimingyue looked at Lingchu, with seriousness in her eyes. She was really happy. In the days of Sanqing Dao Sect, she was happy that there were many disciples with better qualifications than her in the Sanqing Dao Sect. She was happy to join the same group. Among her disciples, many of them were willing to communicate with her, and she was even happier that she could meet fellow Taoists who could be called friends in her sect.
Such as Yun Haotian, such as Yu Xiaoxiao, such as Jiang Hanyan.
For example, Lingchu.
It was even amazing that she responded to those disciples who dared to express their love for her.
These were things she had never experienced before in her clan.
These will make her feel that besides being a monk, she is also a human being.
The two girls, in this boundless wilderness, in this battlefield where countless humans and demons have been buried, and under this gray sky, chatted about their respective life experiences and their respective hearts. little secret.
For them, it was a strange experience.
People are very strange creatures. When two people share a common secret or share their own stories, an inexplicable friendship will be born.
Lingchu knew that the two were friends originally, but now, Xu Shi could also be called a Taoist couple.
Dharma couple, wealth and land, one of the four major elements of cultivating immortality, is a Taoist couple.
Although a Taoist couple is broadly defined as a husband and wife in the world of cultivation, the true meaning of the term Taoist couple is a companion who shares the same goals and practices together.
Taoist couples can be husband and wife, master and disciple, of the same sex, or of the opposite sex, but they do not necessarily have to be husband and wife or dual practitioners.
Practicing companions who share the same goals and can live and die together are the true meaning of a Taoist couple.
In a monk's life, there are many Taoist friends, but the number of like-minded Taoist companions is destined to be only a minority.
For monks, although the seven emotions and six desires have never been truly cut off, they are much more indifferent after all. It is not necessary to have a Taoist couple who practices dual cultivation, but a Taoist partner who shares the same goals is a lifelong pursuit.
Friendship sometimes comes so strangely and suddenly.
Lingchu and Zhan Taimingyue confessed their respective life experiences to each other, and they became a little closer to each other. They suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and the sorrow and sigh in their hearts about their respective life experiences disappeared with the wind.
"By the way, two months ago, when Senior Sister you were in retreat, suddenly there was a fire in the sky in the north, and a shadow of Bi Fang appeared. The place where we were retreating was far apart, and there was still a burning sensation. If it were me If my guess is correct, it must be what the fox demon Ah Jiu said that day, that the remains of one of the three ancestors, the mythical beast Bifang, have appeared."
