Chapter 113: Dreaming of the Broken Swords (Ten)

Sure enough, the fairy mountain is a fairy mountain, and it is indeed extraordinary.

As you thought so, you subconsciously looked around. You have walked for about a minute from the foot of the mountain when you first stepped into the area of ​​Lanke Mountain to here, but this mountain is extremely quiet. Apart from the rustling sound of leaves in the wind, you can't hear any birds or insects singing.

Could it be... that this Lan Ke Secret Realm was created to retain those obsessed people, and that the "Mountain Master" never left any living creatures in this secret realm?
You were full of curiosity, and there was a hint of inquiry on your face unconsciously. Jinchen, who was half a step ahead of you, saw the hesitation on your face out of the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but stop slightly.

[Jinchen: (concerned) What happened? ___.]
[Jinchen: Do you still have any doubts about this Lan Ke Secret Realm?]
The young man asked these two questions directly and directly, so direct that you, who were distracted, could not react for a moment.

After coming to your senses, you avoided Jinchen's gaze and waved your hands a little uncomfortably. After a brief struggle, you finally asked the two questions that had been lingering in your mind.

[You: (avoiding your gaze) No, no doubts.]
[You: I was just wondering...we have been walking for so long, but we haven't heard any birds singing.]
[You: Is it that apart from the owner of the fairy mountain, there are no other living creatures in this mountain? Or are the birds kept on this fairy mountain not ordinary birds... and will not be easily seen by a "mortal" like me.]
Jinchen couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

[Jinchen: (laughing) So you are curious about this.]
[Jinchen: We have indeed not heard any sounds of insects or birds along the way... But there is more than just the mountain master as a "living creature" on this mountain.]
[Jinchen: (stretching out his hand and making a few simple gestures) In addition to the mountain master and you and I who have just arrived at Lan Ke Xian Mountain, there are many other strange beasts on this mountain.]
Your eyes widened in disbelief.

[You: (Surprised) Strange beast?]
[Jinchen: (Nodding) Yes, the strange beasts, many of which are those recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas - I know that these may be more like some kind of legend to you, but here, they are just the most ordinary "residents" of the mountain.]
[Jinchen: Most of the older beasts have cultivated into human form - they can be considered as disciples of the mountain master. Of course, not every beast is lucky enough to receive personal instruction from the mountain master, but those who can cultivate into human form must have learned a lot from the mountain master.]
[Jinchen: (Raising his hand and pointing to the distance) These strange beasts are responsible for helping the mountain master to look after those obsessions, so most of them live with the obsessions in the back mountain - the front mountain is the territory of the master of this fairy mountain. He likes quietness, so the insects and birds living in the front mountain rarely sing.]
In other words, it's not like there are no insects or birds.

But these insects and birds are very discerning. They know who is in charge on the mountain and dare not make noises easily.

——What a clever insect-bird.

You couldn't help but sigh in your heart, and there was a bit more surprise on your face.

[You: A beast that has cultivated a humanoid form, a mountain master who knows how to raise beasts, and insects and birds that know not to sing randomly...]
[You: (sigh) This sounds like I’m reading a fantasy novel… In my previous twenty years of life, I’ve never had such rich experiences!]
Jinchen laughed even more happily when he heard this.

[Jinchen: (laughing) Haha, your words are really interesting.]
[Jinchen: (with a hint of meaning) You can stand here as a spirit - for most ordinary people, this is like a "fantasy novel".]
[The same to you.]
You were inspired by Jinchen's words. As your mind became more open, you also began to look forward to the upcoming journey more and more.

Seeing that you seemed to no longer be bothered by the question of whether it was a "novel" or not, Jinchen quickly struck while the iron was hot and added a few minor things you needed to pay attention to when walking in Lanke Mountain.

[Jinchen: (slightly serious) ____, since we have just mentioned the strange beasts, I will just say a few more words to you.]
[Jinchen: Although these strange beasts in the mountain have cultivated human forms and received the responsibility of watching over the obsessions from the mountain master, they are not human after all, and most of them still have the habits of strange beasts.]
[Jinchen: Therefore, when you deal with those furry creatures next time, you must not trust them easily - some of these strange beasts are good at lying, and some of them have problems with their footing and can't tell what they are saying.]
[Jin Chen: (frown) - After careful consideration, among the dozens of exotic animals raised by the master of the fairy mountain, only He Luozhiyu can be called "honest". However, he is slow-tempered and doesn't talk much, so you probably won't be able to get too much out of him.]
Jinchen spoke very seriously, but you just felt surprised for no reason - in the past, you had only heard that young children who had not gone to school liked to talk nonsense, but you didn't expect that these strange beasts also had this hobby.

However, if you think about it again, those strange beasts are mostly things that exist only in legends - it seems normal for their "ancestors" who have disappeared from the human world for who knows how many years to have some temper.

[You: (smacking lips) Wow! There is such knowledge here!]
[You: (Nods) Okay, thank you, sir. I'll keep this in mind. Is there anything else you would like me to pay attention to?]
[Jinchen: (Thinks for a moment) Yes.]
[Jinchen: In addition to not believing the words of the strange beasts, you must also be a little more careful when you face those obsessed ones in the back mountain later.]
[Jinchen: Those who are imprisoned here due to strong emotions and obsessions that affect the power of the five stars are not only the souls of the dead, but also many monsters or spirits who are lucky enough to understand the five emotions of humans but are trapped in them.]
[Jinchen: (with a worried look on his face) - These things are more threatening to you than the pure souls of the dead. Some of them are highly skilled, and if they lose control accidentally, they may even harm your soul.]
[Jinchen: So, in order to ensure the safety of your soul, please do not arbitrarily anger those obsessions, and be sure to take the treasure that I brought you before we set out - this thing may save your life at a critical moment.]
[Jinchen: In addition, if you are worried that your safety cannot be guaranteed by just that treasure, you can also try to build a good relationship with the strange beasts that guard those obsessives. The mountain master knows the abilities and temperaments of those obsessives, and should have taught the strange beasts relevant coping methods. If you can attract them to help you when something happens, you will not get hurt.]
[Jinchen: All right, ____, the mountain master is just ahead. I have seen his clothes. Come with me and say hello to him!]
