Pu Ruili's smile once again made the eldest grandson lose his mind, but fortunately, the eldest grandson came back to his senses after a while and avoided the embarrassment.
"Ahem, Prairie, what a nice name, that... we may have to spend the night here. The area we are in now is the territory of a civet, and night is the time for it to be active. It is too risky to risk going back now, Besides, Qiao Yuanxi is probably waiting for us outside the mountain."
Changsun quickly eased his embarrassment with words.
"Yeah, that's fine. Just now, Qiao Yuanxi suddenly exerted his force at the last moment and pressed me hard. I just need to heal my injuries here, and I leave the safety of the surroundings to you."
After Pu Ruili finished speaking, she found a stone and sat cross-legged, then took out a pill and drank it, closing her eyes to heal.
Before the eldest grandson could speak, he saw that Pu Ruili had already fallen into trance, and had no choice but to guard the entrance of the cave.
Changsun is still very confident about the disguise at the entrance of the cave. Changsun traveled to all areas of Qingshan, large and small, relying on the ability of these disguises. Otherwise, with Changsun's strength, he would have died hundreds of times.
Late at night, Prairie woke up from her trance. After feeling that her body had been adjusted without any problems, Prairie stood up and stretched, showing off her perfect figure.
"Oh, I feel much better now, thank you." Prairie came to the eldest grandson, patted the eldest grandson on the shoulder, and said thank you casually.
The eldest grandson smiled helplessly, having become accustomed to this beautiful girl's unexpected generosity.
"I hope you're in good health. The conditions here are simple. I bring a blanket with me when I go out. It will make the girl feel better if she wraps it around her when sleeping at night."
Changsun said, taking out a blanket from the backpack on his back. It was a blanket made of mink down from a ferret that Changsun had hunted before.
Prairie took the blanket and touched the smooth blanket. It was very light and comfortable to wear on her body.
"I can't tell. You are a man, but you have a very delicate mind. What's even more valuable is that your hands are very dexterous." Prairie said.
"Uh, thanks for the compliment."
The eldest grandson said thank you, but in his heart he felt that Purui was deliberately making fun of him.
Seeing her eldest grandson's embarrassed expression, Pu Ruili laughed happily, making her eldest grandson feel even more embarrassed.
"Ahem, if you have nothing to do, just find a place to sleep. It's already getting late. I'll stay here to watch the night." Zhangsun was a little annoyed under Prairie's laughter.
Prairie finally saw that her eldest grandson was a little unhappy. She wanted to chat more with this interesting guy in front of her, but now she could only lie down wrapped in a blanket in frustration.
Pu Ruili stopped talking, and the surroundings became quiet. The eldest grandson leaned against the stone wall and meditated. This was a habit that the eldest grandson had formed over the years. He would meditate every night in the dead of night.
Suddenly, Prairie spoke again: "I'm sorry, I have never made friends, and I don't know how to communicate with people."
"I have lived in the garbage dump since I can remember. I have no parents, and I don't know how I survived. In my memory, I was only hungry at that time, and I looked for things to satisfy my hunger in the garbage dump every day."
"I had no friends in my life at that time. I just knew that if I found something to eat, I had to hide it and not let anyone around me know about it."
"Then I met my teacher, who was very nice to me, really nice. At that time, I felt like I had everything but no friends. I was no longer afraid of people around me snatching my things, because my teacher was very good. , I can tell it from the way they look at my teacher.”
"Later I started sharing my things with them, but I still couldn't make friends. My sincere sharing was called charity by them. I tried to joke with them, but they called it arrogance. I always seemed to They regard it as a benchmark to inspire them and strive to pursue it. In fact, my heart is eager to chase with them, but I don’t know how to communicate with them..."
Prairie's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it was barely audible. In the darkness, she gradually shrank her body into a ball. Only then did the cheerful girl reveal her weak side.
The weak figure of the girl in the darkness touched the hidden corner of Changsun's heart.
"My parents left me when I was very young, but they were the best parents in the world. After my parents left, I still had my grandfather. Like most grandfathers, he doted on his grandson."
"During the time when my parents left me, my grandfather did everything he could to protect me, even... his life. I still have playmates who grew up with me, but they have all left me now. So sometimes It’s much better to never have something than to lose it after having it.”
Prairie had already sat up with a blanket on her face. Looking at her eldest grandson staring ahead in the darkness, she could feel his pain at this moment.
The young man who was calm and composed when rescuing himself only seemed more real when he was in pain.
Changsun looked at the darkness in front of him, and the memories of the past came to him like a tide. The more beautiful the memories, the more painful he felt at the moment.
The eldest grandson tried hard to wake himself up from his memories. He looked at Pu Ruili who was looking at him and smiled bitterly. It turned out that this beautiful girl had the same painful experience as himself.
"Uh, um... let's not talk about the past. When you fought with Qiao Yuanxi today, the magic you used was very powerful, but I feel like you shouldn't be able to cast such a powerful magic with your strength."
Changsun didn't want to be immersed in the painful atmosphere all the time and tried to change the topic.
"Ah, that. It seems you don't know much about magicians." Prairie said.
"Are you a magician? I have never had any contact with magicians, and I don't know much about magicians." Changsun asked.
"Well, I am a dark magician. Magicians originated from the West. It may be God's will. In ancient times, people began to explore nature and themselves. The eastern world chose to explore its own treasures, while people in the West will Focus on the outside world.”
"People in the East are constantly digging for their own treasures, tempering their bodies, absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world into their bodies, and forging themselves into weapons that will open up the world. People in the West, on the other hand, have cultivated their spiritual power to be extremely powerful, use special languages to communicate with the outside world, and use Resonance with the outside world rules everything.”
Prairie explained the origins of warriors and magicians.
The eldest grandson also knew something about these histories. After listening to Pu Ruili's words, he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Changsun's response, Pu Ruili continued: "After hundreds of thousands of years, both have formed their own systems, and then friction and exchanges between the two systems also occurred. In the end, small differences led to great harmony, and people used the same There is a system to distinguish the high and low of the cultivators among the two, which is the practitioner, the magician, the charioteer, the saint, the mortal, and the venerable. And I am now in the practitioner realm, and the magic in the afternoon was actually the magic of my teacher. It's called 'Dark World'. I just triggered the barrier left by my teacher to use this move. It's just because my ability is too low that I can only produce so much power."
"Enchantment?"
"Yes, it's the barrier. Do you know why there are so few magicians?" Prairie asked instead of answering Zhangsun's question directly.
"I heard that magicians have very high requirements for talent. They need to have a high affinity for the aura around them to be qualified to become a magician."
Changsun recalled what he had learned about magicians from books, and then answered.
"You are right, but it is not comprehensive. In addition to the difference I just mentioned, there is another difference between magicians and warriors. Warriors do not have aura attributes when they are in the practitioner state. They will only be based on it in future cultivation. My own conditions, skills, etc., gradually reveal my preferred attributes."
"But magicians are different. Magicians will determine their attributes at the beginning of practice, which requires you to have a high affinity for one type of spiritual energy. For example, I have a high affinity for dark spiritual energy. This is one reason why there are so few magicians.”
"As for the second reason, magicians need to be supported by very strong resources in order to reach the end. The first manifestation of these strong resources is the magician's magic weapon."
"Magic weapons are used to store magic wards." Prairie added.
"Magical weapon? Why do you need a magical weapon?" Changsun continued to ask his question.
"Do you think you could handle it if you met a magician like me in the same realm?" Prairie asked rhetorically again to try to stimulate her eldest grandson's thinking.
The eldest grandson recalled the process of witnessing Prairie's magic in the afternoon. After thinking about it repeatedly, the eldest grandson still believed that he had no chance of defeating Prairie.
Even if the eldest grandson was watching, he could not find any flaws in that "Dark World". If he had been under magic at that time, he would have been killed quietly like the two mercenaries.
This was completely beyond what Changsun could handle. Changsun shook his head.
"Then if I tell you that 'Dark World' had not been the magic barrier left by my teacher, even if I could cast it, it would have taken at least ten seconds of casting time. Do you think you still have a chance to defeat me? ?”
Prairie obviously didn't want to laugh at her eldest grandson when she asked the question just now, and then said the biggest drawback of magicians in battle, which is that it takes too long to cast magic, and this time is enough to defeat the opponent in battle. Kill the magician a dozen times.
The eldest grandson also heard the meaning of Pu Ruili's words and gradually got a clue.
Puruili didn't wait for Changsun to answer the obvious answer, and continued: "So magicians need the help of magical weapons. Magical weapons can greatly shorten the time for magicians to cast spells. Why? Because magical weapons are actually containers. , a container for storing magic wards. Magicians will usually form magic wards with their own magic and store them in magical weapons. Depending on the number of enchantments that can be stored and the level of the enchantments, the magic weapons will be divided into Out of three, six or nine."
"Now you roughly understand."
The eldest grandson was thoughtful after listening to this. Prairie's words were easy to understand, but they clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages between warriors and magicians.
From this, we can see Prairie's deep understanding and keen insight into cultivation.
The eldest grandson felt more and more that the girl in front of him was not simple, but he didn't think much about it. It was a rare opportunity to discuss cultivation issues with such a powerful peer.
Changsun thought for a moment and found that he was still a little confused, and then said: "No, in that case, after a magician has a magic weapon, isn't it invincible at the same level, and can even surpass the level and counterattack? As long as a high-level magician Leaving your magic enchantment to other magicians is like your teacher leaving his magic enchantment in your magic weapon. Then wouldn't you be able to easily defeat more powerful opponents without practicing?"
After listening to her eldest grandson's question, Pu Ruili rarely looked at her eldest grandson with admiration.
"I feel more and more that you are not simple. Although you don't have any knowledge of common sense and look like an idiot, you can analyze the key to the problem in such a short period of time. I have to say, you are amazing. ah."
"Uh... I should say thank you for the compliment?"
The eldest grandson was once again speechless at Pu Ruili's special praise.
"Haha, you're welcome. What I said is true." Pu Ruili patted her eldest grandson on the shoulder boldly again and said with a smile. The eldest grandson felt helpless.
Prairie did not feel that what she said was wrong at all, and continued: "As you said, if that were the case, wouldn't a magician become invincible without practicing, but any normal person would know that this is impossible. "
"Because if you want to save your own enchantment into someone else's magic weapon like my teacher, there are very high conditions. The first is the requirements for the magic weapon. If you want to store a more advanced enchantment, A more advanced magic weapon is needed. Secondly, each magic barrier is a precise power equation constructed by the magician using his own mental power. To trigger it, one needs to have the same attributes and characteristics as the magician. In terms of mental power, it can basically be said that only he himself can trigger each magician's magic barrier."
"But the magician also came up with a way, which is to leave a magic barrier and a ray of his own spiritual power as the key to trigger the magic barrier. Leaving the magic barrier is small, leaving a ray of spirit Power, you also know what it means, which means that the situation you mentioned will basically never happen. People in situations like mine are basically life-saving means left to future generations by their close relatives."
The eldest grandson then understood that he needed to leave a ray of spiritual power, which was like cutting off flesh. Ordinary people really wouldn't do this.
"I saw you this afternoon, and you are quite strong." Zhangsun was referring to the two blows that Pu Ruili made when she killed the two mercenaries in the afternoon, which were clean and neat.
"This is a trend in the development of magicians. In the past, magicians were all physically weak, but since magicians have communicated with warriors, magicians have gradually discovered the importance of the body and begun to pay more and more attention to physical training. Today. It can be seen from my performance." Prairie said proudly.
"I have a different view. Your performance today did show the power of the combination of magic and martial arts. But in fact, if you didn't use martial arts today, Qiao Yuanxi would not be able to find your flaws. It was the flaws in your martial arts that made Qiao Yuanxi see I found the flaw in your magic and defeated you in one fell swoop." Changsun shook his head.
Pu Ruili understood what Changsun said. She had not had time to analyze the previous battle. At this moment, Changsun said that she was indeed full of loopholes in martial arts, which led to flaws in her brilliant magic.
But Prairie did not admit defeat.
"That's because Qiao Yuanxi is at a higher level, so he can see the loopholes in my martial arts at a glance. As long as I make up for the shortcomings in my martial arts, Qiao Yuanxi won't be able to escape next time."
"It's easy for you to overdo it."
"I am learning from the strengths of others."
