Two treasure maps

Chapter 119 The World of Immortal Cultivation

Yin Jing took Guo Lingli back to the piano room. His mood was like a dark cloud, so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip. He sighed helplessly, with a hint of joking in his tone: "Look, nothing has happened yet? Trouble has come?"

Guo Lingli looked confused. She scratched her head and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? What's the trouble?"

Yin Jing smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. He wanted to tease Guo Lingli and test the cunningness of this little girl, so he asked with a smile: "In your opinion, what do you think of Leng Xing?"

Guo Lingli thought for a moment and replied, "Very good. He does things in a fair and impartial manner and his attitude is pretty good."

Yin Jing laughed loudly after hearing this. He stretched out his finger and gently touched Guo Lingli's forehead, saying with a smile: "You are really stupid, hopelessly stupid!"

Guo Lingli was startled by his sudden action. She jumped away and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Why do you have to make such a move when you can just talk?"

Yin Jing retracted her finger and said in a falsely innocent voice, "Why? So many little girls begged me to touch their foreheads, but I was never happy. But today, you are not grateful at all."

Guo Lingli rubbed his forehead and argued seriously: "Don't talk nonsense! How am I stupid? Leng Xing is very good. He looks cold, but he kindly reminded me not to lose my identity token. How thoughtful!"

Yin Jing sneered and shook his head, "Enthusiastic? Careful? You are so naive. He was warning me that he had discovered your secret and wanted me to use the spirit stone to shut him up. If I don't agree, your identity token will be lost inexplicably, and it will be even more troublesome for you to find someone else to make it."

Guo Lingli was stunned after hearing this. Her mind was in a mess. She couldn't understand Yin Jing's words at all. She frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Why do I understand everything you said? But I don't understand it when you put it together? Enthusiastic exhortation is not exhortation, but warning, and careful exhortation is not exhortation, but blackmail? What is going on?"

Silver Mirror looked at her bewildered look, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He used the mirror to look at Guo Lingli, confirming that she did have the treasure of her clan on her body. He had just tried it with his fingers, and could feel the treasure slightly excited in Guo Lingli's body, which further confirmed his judgment.

But could this innocent-looking, clear-eyed little girl really be so cunning? Even he couldn't figure out her true colors? Yin Jing lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Yin Jing lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then sat down seriously, took out some refreshments from the storage space, and called Guo Lingli, "Come and sit down, I will tell you about this world of immortal cultivation."

"I don't want to listen to your twisted theories. What's the fun in thinking of people as so complicated?" Guo Lingli sat down reluctantly. When she saw the snacks, she started eating without Yin Jing saying anything. She hadn't eaten anything since morning.

"First question, this is a world of cultivating immortals," Yin Jing said as he poured her a cup of tea, "You are the only person here. Have you seen the dog I keep outside? Do you think it's just a dog? Wrong, it's a human soul."

Guo Lingli was eating snacks. When she heard this, she almost choked on the snacks and coughed for a long time before she recovered.

It was the first time she heard that a dog could possess a human soul, and she was shocked. She widened her eyes and asked in confusion, "What did you say? Your dog...it possesses a human soul?"

Yin Jing sat quietly opposite her, speechless about her uncivilized dining behavior. She took out a fan, shielded herself in front of it, and said disdainfully: "Do you know dining etiquette? Where did your ladylike manners go?"

After hearing this, Guo Lingli was slightly stunned, and then smiled awkwardly. She really had not received strict training as a lady from a noble family. Except for a short period of study in Guojiazhuang before the age of seven, she was busy preparing for exams, learning various subjects, watching TV series, reading novels, and understanding the cutting-edge of science and technology. As for dining etiquette, she just tried to be decent, and never thought about taking small sips and smiling without showing teeth as described in the novels.

She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and calmed down. Then she put down the teacup, looked at the silver mirror seriously, and asked, "Then explain what's going on?"

Yin Jing gently waved his folding fan, "I explained, this is a world of immortal cultivation, and the dogs here have human souls. Is there any problem with this?"

"This is a serious problem. How can a dog possess a human soul?" As soon as Guo Lingli finished speaking, he thought of his former contracted guardian. Could it be that this dog was also a monster?

Before she could ask, Yin Jing had already started explaining, saying slowly: "This is a world of immortal cultivation, which is different from the mortal world. Here, some creatures will face the barrier of the first heaven after they have cultivated to a certain level. When their cultivation reaches the peak, their consciousness will penetrate this barrier and reach the second heaven. However, their bodies cannot pass through this barrier, so their consciousness needs to find a carrier. This carrier is often those animals and plants that have not yet awakened."

"You mean, these dogs are actually the carriers of consciousness of those practitioners?" Guo Lingli asked in surprise.

Yin Jing nodded and continued, "Yes. They are not demon cultivators, nor do they have the cultivation of demon cultivators. But they are the largest intelligence network of the Second Heaven. As long as someone controls them, almost everything in this Heaven will not escape their eyes and ears. At the same time, these carriers will also receive treasures that can break through the barriers of the First Heaven because of their service to various forces, thus having the opportunity to ascend to this Heaven."

After hearing this, Guo Lingli suddenly realized something. She remembered that when she met Guo Pu, she had taken the dog hair of the guardian beast of Taishang Mountain. Could it be that in the eyes of those people at that time, she also had a barrier to consciousness penetration, so they wanted to turn her into a dog? If she had not been doubtful and refused to enter the North City Gate at that time, would she have become the guardian dog of Taishang Mountain at that time?

She took a deep breath and tried to calm the fear and anxiety in her heart. Then she asked, "Should I be more careful too? After all, I am also a person who came here from the First Heaven."

Silver Mirror nodded and said seriously, "That's right. Here, you can't talk casually without a barrier. Flowers, plants, and animals may become the medium to reveal your secrets. So, you must always be vigilant and don't reveal your details easily."

After hearing this, Guo Lingli became more alert. She knew that she still had a lot to learn and adapt to in this world of immortal cultivation. She decided to be more careful in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At the same time, she also thought about her own secrets. What were they? The most obvious one was that she was dressed as a man, but wasn't that what Yin Jing should be worried about?

She understood instantly. What did Yin Jing mean when he said at the beginning, "If you accidentally reveal the truth and put yourself in danger, then don't blame me for not helping you"? Although he was the instigator, he had to get out of it by himself, and he would not interfere.

Suddenly I felt that Yin Jing was a real dog!
