Chapter 657 Giving Birth, Raising and Educating Children
Riko came to her senses and held the broken arm tremblingly, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Qing found it a bit strange that after Atarja lost her left arm, the bleeding just stopped but no new one grew.
He was clearly injured by the blood poison of the Dragon Mane Snail Dove before, but he recovered instantly... He was also able to recover after his head was smashed by the Titan in Tiandou City. Why is it that now that an arm is broken, it is so difficult to even grow it back?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing figured it out.
This Aitarga also has the magical power of gathering and dispersing energy, or it can be said that this instinct is but it seems incomplete. After tearing off an arm, a part of itself is lost, that is, a part of the overall value is lost, and it cannot be replenished immediately. Even if she has learned the Xiantian Neijing Diagram, it is difficult for her to make up for it by her own strength.
Because it is incomplete.
Ettarga is actually the reincarnation of Namiqi, but it can be regarded as another kind of reincarnation, that is: I gave birth to me.
[No wonder this Etarga was determined to destroy Nami Village. Not only did she inherit Namichi's painful memories, but it was probably her instinct that drove her to complete herself.]
Zhou Qing understood and knew the determination of the people in Nami Village, so he held out his hand to Li Ke and said, "Let me take it."
Riko handed over Attarga's left arm in a daze. Although she had come to her senses, she still couldn't understand why Attarga tore off her left arm without saying anything.
For a young girl, such behavior——
So exciting!
Seeing Zhou Qing pick up her left arm, Aitarja smiled happily.
Then, Zhou Qing placed his hand on the top of Atarja's head and activated the Xiantian Neijing Diagram, driving the soul power in her body to circulate as well. He said, "Remember this feeling and practice hard. In this world, the four seasons are not obvious, so there is no need to adjust your practice according to the changes in the solar terms. But if there is a chance in the future, I will take you to have a look outside. I think your mother doesn't want you to stay in this place forever."
Ettarja was puzzled, but feeling the frequency of the soul power circulating in her body, she felt quite comfortable. She actually squatted on the ground like a fox and rubbed her cheek with her ankle.
But Zhou Qing grabbed her three arms, pulled her up, and said, "You still have a human body, so stand up."
Aitalja didn't understand, but still obeyed. She stood up straight and found that the soul power in her body was flowing more smoothly. Although the effect was not as good as sticking close to Zhou Qing, it was much more comfortable than squatting normally.
"Now she really looks like a princess!"
Dugu Bo also spoke, joking with a smile.
Atarja didn't know it was a joke, she just raised her head and chest happily, and said with a smile: "I am a princess. The immortal princess!"
The excited Aitarja was ready to send Zhou Qing and others back to Nami Village.
outside the village.
The narrow and cramped cave entrance came into view. She watched Zhou Qing, Dugu Bo and Liko enter, but Ettarga was isolated outside and could not even hear the words of Miss Clock and Gentleman Alarm Clock who were guarding both sides of the cave entrance.
Suddenly!
Anger rose in his heart and he pounced forward, but the transparent energy film like a water curtain only rippled slightly and shook him away.
Can't enter!
Zhou Qing looked back, sighed secretly, and said: "Some great truths can only be truly understood after experiencing pain. Just knowing is not enough."
"What riddle are you talking about?" Dugu Bo finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Zhou Qing no longer concealed anything, but revealed all the information he knew in the cave: "Namichi has three wishes: to give birth to a child, to raise a child, and to educate a child." Giving birth to a child is simple, just give birth and that's it.
Raising children is hard work and requires providing them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
Any decent parent can do the above two things, but the final step of raising a child is difficult, as the child needs to be taught to become a mentally healthy person.
Namiqi has always wanted a child, but not just to make up for the psychological problems caused by her congenital infertility, but because she truly understands that having a child is not just about giving birth, but also about raising and nurturing the child.
Due to physical problems, Namiqi was unable to give birth to and raise a child, but later on, with the appearance of Dream Heart, her wish was fulfilled.
Although the process and results were extremely... outrageous, it was completed in the end, allowing Namichi to finally give birth to Ettarga, a real life.
This is also the reason why Namichi, who lost her human form and most of her intelligence after using the first Dream Heart, would still accept the second Dream Heart - raising a child requires a house, and since she couldn't give it, she would turn herself into a house.
But Namichi would not accept the third dream heart no matter what, because even if all wisdom was lost, the soul would only be an empty shell, and there would still be a little instinct left: raising a child cannot rely on external forces, but must be taught by words and deeds.
Words said, she couldn't do it.
But teaching by example... may work - preventing Ettarga from entering Nami Village is to hope that the reincarnation of a part of her soul, her last child, can understand the truth of not letting her soul be blinded by the pain of hatred.
Do you want revenge?
Of course.
This was also Zhou Qing's opinion, but he also knew that up to now, Atarja's only thought was revenge, with no other thoughts.
She just lived in hatred.
Compared with Tang San, whose life experience is so outrageous, if we really want to discuss the right and wrong of the various forces, it is really difficult to say clearly because of the strange rule that soul masters must have soul rings to continue to break through their cultivation. If we have to point out the wrong party, it must be the guy who formulated this "acquired rule".
Even if this rule were to be abolished, soul masters would still hunt soul beasts in order to obtain materials from them, but they would eventually be more restrained.
In addition, in the original work, after learning the truth about his mother's death, Tang San, in addition to seeking revenge, also wanted to rebuild the Tang Clan.
Not to mention the various grievances and hatreds, just based on this point, Tang San in the original work is better than Etarga. After taking revenge, he still has his own dreams.
Although it’s not big, it’s still something to do.
But Ettarga did not have Tang San's experience of being a human being in two lifetimes. She inherited a lot of bad and painful memories from birth. She had no other thoughts except revenge. She kept killing people, and in the end, she was either crazy or empty.
Now, Zhou Qing could understand why Tang Hao had fallen into depravity in the Holy Spirit Village, because he was a human being after all, a person with emotions, not a machine that could remain rational all the time.
Speaking of machines, isn't there a recorder following Atalja?
The soul-guided creature actually awakened its self-awareness and possessed emotions.
All these things made Zhou Qing reflect on himself, and he became more and more enlightened about the essence of cultivation - cultivation is not about developing a heart of stone, but about developing a mindset: knowing the vastness of the universe, yet still pitying the green grass and trees.
Simply put, it means not changing your original intention.
As soon as the mind moved, the Xiantian Neijing diagram started to operate autonomously, and the inner world was also shaking, with new vitality. The energy of heaven and earth gathered on itself, causing the soul power to increase greatly...
