Along the way, Qin Hao and his team met many cultivators, and almost all of them had the same goal with them, heading to the ancient battlefield.
The closer you get to the ancient battlefield, even if it's just on the periphery, many people have already settled there. These cultivators are not in a hurry to enter the core area of the ancient battlefield, but instead set up camp on the periphery.
According to the information I got along the way, the location of the Holy Grail should be in the core area of the ancient battlefield, but why are these people gathering on the outside if they don't go in? Could it be that there is some danger inside
Qin Hao and others who originally planned to drive straight in had to stop. Before the current situation was clear, it was better not to rush in to avoid any danger. In fact, what Qin Hao is afraid of is not danger, he is just unhappy with being like a leading bird exploring the way for others, expecting a salted fish to be the leading bird, just dream.
Qin Hao decided to go find out the news first, and led everyone to a place not far away with a lot of people. Mainly there were a lot of people setting up camp around here. They had heard about several organizations and forces, and they had even heard about them. Although most of the minor frictions are second-rate, there are many veteran and powerful forces among them. Apart from using violence, Qin Hao doesn't think these people will take the initiative to share information, and they might even plot against you.
Hermes was very interested in joining in the fun, and he had already taken the initiative to take over the job without letting Qin Hao speak.
However, before he could start, Qin Hao and the others were stopped by a strange man: "Brothers, you are also casual cultivators, right? Are you interested in coming over to sit down?"
In this world, in today's era, inexplicable enthusiasm is not only not a good thing, but also hard to accept, especially in this dangerous and intriguing place, where betrayal may occur at any time and there may be a battle at any time. , there will be death, no one dares to relax their vigilance, and no one will believe outsiders.
Obviously, the man also realized that his enthusiasm was very abrupt and seemed to have brought bad effects to him. He quickly said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm. My name is Tang Jinyan. As you can see, I have better luck." , after the spiritual energy was revived, I was suddenly able to practice for some reason and became a casual cultivator."
Everyone still had questions on their faces, and Hermes was also confused. On the contrary, Qin Hao seemed to be calmer and asked: "So? Why do you think we are casual cultivators?"
Tang Jinyan smiled: "You see, the people here basically have their own groups, and everyone stays in the area of their respective groups and does not run around. This is the territory of our casual cultivators, and you guys are obviously I just came here, and I don’t know the rules here, otherwise I wouldn’t wander around here. I guess he is a casual cultivator like me, and there is no organizational force behind him.”
The reputations of Qin Hao and Artoria, including Hermes, are not insignificant. There must be many people who know them among practitioners, but they are limited to some organizational forces with good intelligence sources. For the group of casual cultivators, Generally speaking, I may have heard the name, but I have never seen it, otherwise the Tang Jinyan in front of me would not be able to recognize everyone.
He agreed to come and inquire about the news, but after asking for a long time, it was Qin Hao. Hermes felt that it was not very good. He was about to explain, but Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, we are just casual cultivators. We are new here. I heard that there seemed to be good things here, so I planned to come here to try my luck. But after I arrived, I felt a little strange. No one seemed to have the intention to go in, so I was planning to find someone to ask."
"Then you are lucky, you have found the right person. Brother, I am not telling you that, except for us group of casual cultivators who are more enthusiastic, it is almost impossible for outsiders to find out the information. This group of cultivators are all Very exclusive.”
Tang Jinyan first boasted about himself, and then explained to several people: "I am afraid that no one except the person involved knows whether the news is true or false. It is all false rumors. Who knows what is in it. But, brothers, everyone We are all Chinese, and we are in a foreign land. I won’t tell you anything false. It may not sound very nice, but it is the truth from the bottom of my heart. No matter what is there, don’t think about it, everyone is the same. How can a casual cultivator fool around alone defeat those big organized forces? Even if there is good stuff, it belongs to them, and we can’t even take a sip of the soup. Preserving our lives is important. No matter how good the stuff is, what can we do if it’s useless?”
"Actually, it was already like this when we came here. According to the news that came out, it seemed that the Pope of Light, including some masters of the organization, had entered before and discovered the Holy Grail, and everyone was attracted to it. Here. However, I don’t know what the reason was. The ancient battlefield was suddenly closed. There were people who had entered and exited before. I heard that some formation was activated. Those who went in could not get out, and those outside could not get in. , and froze for a moment. Everyone came over. They didn't see the things inside, and they didn't want to leave, so they all stayed here to observe the situation.
We are all casual cultivators. We can't compete with the big guys, so we can only stay in the periphery, where the real powerful people are close. Brother, you also know that in today's society, everything depends on the background, the backstage, otherwise you will not be able to survive. The same is true for us practitioners. I am a foreign Chinese, living in the countryside of Britain. After becoming a practitioner, I have been living in my own little land. This time I heard that the inheritance place is relatively close, so I wanted to come and learn more, but I didn’t expect On the first day I arrived, I encountered great turmoil and almost lost my life.
There is no way, we are all alone, no matter in terms of resources or strength, we can't compare with those organized forces. Even if we almost lose our lives, I don't dare to say a word. I rushed into this poor place. Opportunities are everywhere, and dangers are everywhere. You may get into trouble at any time. If you want to survive here, the only way is to stick together. I think you brothers are also very weak. , he must have just awakened to become a practitioner, right? I think you might as well join our camp of casual cultivators, so that everyone can be taken care of, right? "
Tang Jinyan made a long explanation, which can be regarded as stating his purpose. There are too few casual cultivators. It's not that this group is small, but that there are too few people who are willing to join and participate.
What is a casual cultivator
To put it bluntly, they are all practitioners who are unwilling to be restricted and unwilling to join organizational forces. If they are willing, some large organizational forces may not take them in, but some small sects are definitely willing. After the spiritual energy is revived, each New organizational forces are emerging one after another, and this is the time when people are lacking.
Even if the people who proposed to form a group are all casual cultivators, if they actually join, they can't be called rogue cultivators, right? What was the point of insisting on becoming a casual cultivator and not joining any organized forces
Therefore, there are not many casual cultivators who are really willing to join a group with Tang Jinyan, otherwise he would not just grab a few strangers on the road and invite them to join.
Seeing that Qin Hao didn't reply immediately, Tang Jinyan said again: "Brother, I know what you are worried about. I just invite you to join us in this inheritance place. There will not be any restrictions or influence on you. After you go out, we will still be friends. , you can do whatever you want, just stay together temporarily, for the sake of everyone's safety, it's a win-win situation, isn't it? We are all Chinese, will I still harm you? Didn't our ancestors say that unity is strength, a chopstick A pair of chopsticks can be broken as soon as they are broken. If we unite together and twist into a rope, then we are a pair of chopsticks. They will not be broken so easily, right?!"
It's an old-fashioned routine, but for Tang Jinyan, a Chinese who grew up in a foreign country, it's good to be able to tell this truth. At least it shows that he is not unconcerned about his homeland far in the east.
After Tang Jinyan's painstaking persuasion, Qin Hao finally spoke: "How should I put it? I think that the chopsticks that keep breaking have a certain relationship with quantity, but I personally think that it has a greater relationship with quality. Think about it, if you are a plastic chopstick, or a hollow disposable wooden chopstick, let alone one, even 10 or 0 chopsticks will be easily broken. But if the chopsticks are made of solid material , and it’s made of steel, even if it’s just one piece, it’s hard to break, isn’t it?”
? ? ?
Tang Jinyan looked confused. He thought Qin Hao agreed with his statement and was ready to join him, but he didn't expect that this guy actually became serious about the chopsticks issue.
What quality problem? I'm just using chopsticks to give an example, that's all.
I also know about the quality issues! Aren’t we all casual cultivators and relatively weak? If others have steel chopsticks, don’t we just have plastic chopsticks
Besides, what the hell are you talking about about quality issues? Does it mean we are rubbish, just plastic chopsticks
Tang Jinyan felt that the handsome young man in front of him, who was only in his twenties, seemed to have something wrong with his brain circuit, and his thinking angle was completely different. Although the other party may not have any provocation, why did he sound so unhappy? It's like being pointed at the nose and scolded by someone!
"Haha... Brother, you are really unique... Haha..." Tang Jinyan laughed a few times. The atmosphere had become very awkward and stiff. He had given up hope of inviting Qin Hao to join.
Fortunately, Qin Hao's next words brought a smile to his face.
"It's okay. I think your suggestion is pretty good. Let's stick together for the time being. We've just arrived and don't understand the rules. Please take care of us, Brother Tang."
Tang Jinyan's chest was slapping loudly: "Don't worry, brother, I, Tang Jinyan, will take care of this matter. Since we are all hugging each other for warmth, I will definitely not let you get cold or freeze." (To be continued)
