Chapter 397 Leaving
"This is not a diary, nor is it a last word."
In the dark cave, under the changing light and shadow of the flames, Lin Chen's faint voice came.
"Huh?!" Zhang Hao frowned when he heard this and asked, "Brother, why do you think so?"
"If it is a diary, why is it recorded in a place where he broke through seclusion, let alone what he told about different periods of time? Is it possible that the original owner would go back here every time to record it?" Lin Chen said.
"If it is a diary, it must be carried with you or kept somewhere where you have lived for a long time. This is understandable." Zhang Hao nodded, but then continued to ask, "But why does senior brother think it is not his last words? "
"Intuition." Lin Chen said without changing his expression.
"So...huh?!" Zhang Hao was about to nod, but suddenly realized what Lin Chen said. He couldn't help but paused, and his expression immediately became weird, "Senior brother, are you... too unfounded? Already?"
"I have never written a last word, and I don't know what a last word should be..." Lin Chen ignored Zhang Hao's weird look, but stretched out his hand and touched the dark red writing on the wall, "But I think since it is The last words should be to write down the achievements of a lifetime and the unwillingness before death."
"But if you look at the writings all over the wall, these pages only occupy a small part, but most of the content is either complaining, doubting, or uneasy... It's a little too detailed, and Do your last words have to be written in blood?" Lin Chen said softly.
"That's right, but the redundant content is a bit too much..." Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think this is, senior brother?"
"I think..." Lin Chen was silent for a moment, "I think these handwritings are more like a reminder."
"remind?"
"That's right, it's a reminder. A person whose memory is constantly being lost can anchor his past by repeating the past by recording his past deeds and moods..." Lin Chen said.
"What does this mean?" Zhang Hao was a little confused.
"It means that the original owner who wrote these words, in this place... his memory is constantly being lost, so that he is writing down these things intentionally or unintentionally to remind himself of his existence." Lin Chen said, "In Memory occupies a very important part of a person's self, and can even be said to be the most critical part. If a person loses all his memory, how can he define his own existence?"
"So what if it can't be defined?" Zhang Hao was a little confused.
Lin Chen's face froze after hearing this, and he said helplessly: "If you don't even have memories, then your so-called personality, emotions, personality, etc. will be gone. At that time, you will just be a piece of meat that is simply living. What’s the difference between living and dying?”
"For another example, compare your soul to a ship. Memory is the important items on the ship, or the wood used to build the ship. If all are replaced..."
Seeing that Lin Chen was going to talk endlessly, Zhang Hao quickly interrupted: "Senior brother means that a person without memory is equivalent to death, and he wrote this to remind himself to remember the past in order to use it. Save yourself?"
"Yes." Lin Chen nodded and said, "But too much time has passed, and it is impossible for me to guess what his situation was at that time."
"But no matter what, I am certain that there must be quite a few problems with the Rebirth Island in the records."
"But isn't it related to the Dead River Sect, one of the nine major forces of the Immortal Alliance?" Zhang Hao said hesitantly, "As one of the orthodox sects of the Immortal Alliance, you wouldn't do such crooked experiments on people, right? On the surface, he talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but behind his back he does this kind of thing. How is this different from that kind of two-faced villain?"
'How do I feel that you are inside me...'
Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
But then he still said: "Anyway, that's all I said, you can think about it yourself."
Zhang Hao fell silent and did not reply any further.
Lin Chen glanced at him and didn't say anything else.
He naturally knew that the other party would not be so willing. After all, it was not just him but hundreds of millions of ordinary creatures in this world who wouldn't want to change their talents?
That is the road to heaven second only to reaching immortality in one step.
Even if he puts himself in his shoes, Lin Chen will be very excited. Even he now has a lot of interest, let alone Zhang Hao.
However, there was something wrong with this Rebirth Island at first glance. Before his strength was insufficient, Lin Chen could definitely avoid it as much as possible. After all, there is no reason for a rich man to sit down in court.
"Come on, we've finished watching, we should go." Lin Chen turned his head at this time and said to Zhang Hao, "There is no need to stay here for too long."
"Okay." Zhang Hao nodded.
The two then carefully searched the area and found that there was nothing left except some broken walls, so they decided to leave.
The secret room was not big, and the two quickly found the exit. Although the mechanism had decayed due to the passage of time, it was not difficult for the two Jindan monks.
After a few operations, the secret room opened directly, revealing a long and narrow passage that seemed to lead directly to the outside.
The two looked at each other, with a tacit understanding that they did not distinguish between front and back, but walked forward side by side. After all, neither of them could trust the other's back.
Soon, there was a very faint sound of footsteps in this corridor that had existed for a long time.
"I don't know if we just left like this. How is Senior Sister Zhang Mengyao doing?" Zhang Hao suddenly said while walking.
"Don't worry, that Middle-earth Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator is not that simple. She will be fine. You might as well pay more attention to the current situation." Lin Chen said casually, "We first arrived in the East China Sea. We don’t know much about the distribution of forces and the situation, so the top priority now is to go out as soon as possible and find a ground for cultivation.”
Rather than still caring about things in Lingnan, Lin Chen now wants to find a foundation place and obtain a steady stream of spiritual energy.
After all, spiritual energy is the foundation of this world's cultivation system.
Don't be afraid. Lin Chen has now condensed the yin and yang five elements spirit body. His talent exceeds the Tianling Root. There is no bottleneck under the Nascent Soul. Even spiritual energy of different attributes can be absorbed and converted into mana. It can be called a real natural Taoist body.
But no matter how strong the talent is, if there is not enough spiritual energy to support it, it will still be the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror.
Judging from the intelligence information collected so far, the spiritual energy under the control of the East China Sea Immortal Alliance has its own owner, so Lin Chen must find a way to find a new source of spiritual energy before the resources from Lingnan are exhausted.
"...Yes." Zhang Hao was silent again, and finally nodded in agreement.
After walking dozens of steps and passing another corner, a light suddenly appeared in front of me. Obviously, that was the direction of the exit.
Seeing this, the two of them paused for a moment, but still walked forward together. After all, they didn't know what was going on outside now, so it would be better to take someone out together to share the risk.
As soon as they exited the cave, the boundless blue sky came into their eyes. Looking around, they saw thousands of miles of smoke, water touching the sky, sparkling waves, vast smoke, a clear sky, and dancing scales.
This is a scenery different from the mountains on the mainland. This is the far east of this world, where the endless sea is - the East China Sea!
