Chapter 69: You don't want to lie on a flatbed either, do you?
"all the best?"
Upon arriving at the passage, Daoist Cangqiong asked.
"Everything is going well, and there is great potential," Kunpeng said.
"There were some unexpected events, but not many, and they were all within our control. However..." The Yin-Yang Taoist seemed to want to show off.
"We'll talk about it tonight." But Kunpeng interrupted him, asking the heavens, "What's the progress on both sides?"
Daoist Cangqiong cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to everyone."
He continued, "Fellow Daoist Luo Hou came by once and told me that he would be better by the afternoon. He said that if there was any battle, I should call upon him. He is fine with it."
"Hmm!" Kunpeng nodded, signaling Cangqiong to continue.
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun also came over to the paper dolls. He said that the two strange and powerful ones are beyond imagination. There is still no sign of them breaking. It is estimated that it is impossible for them to break today... Tell the fellow Daoist to be mentally prepared. The battle between the two strange ones will probably come to an end tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? It's not too late." Kunpeng didn't say anything.
Together with Cangqiong, the five of them sat together at the exit of the passage and rested for a while.
"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, how's your silver?"
We need to check the loot in the cemetery.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest took out several pieces of silver from his pocket and gave one to each person.
Kunpeng took the silver coins handed over by the Yin-Yang Taoist and examined them carefully.
It's a pity we don't have divine sense. If only we did, we could explore with our divine sense instead of just looking with our eyes.
"Hiss, it's a bit chilly." Cang Qiong didn't know what silver was. He was very curious when he took it, but it was icy cold in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but it is not just silver, but also a group of bizarre and eccentric ideas of civilization," Xi Yi explained to him.
"How so?" Cang Qiong asked, not understanding.
Xi Yi said, "I don't know if what I said is right, but money only becomes money when everyone recognizes it. If everyone doesn't recognize it, it's just an ordinary item."
Kunpeng understands this.
The other three nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Therefore, 'silver' can be anything, as long as all living beings recognize it and believe in it. For example, the silver in your hand is just the remains of some living beings, but in a twisted place like a cemetery, it is the money that the monsters believe in."
"Wreckage?" Cangqiong and Xiyi exchanged a call to each other.
"That's right, it was created by reversing Yin and Yang with the help of Fellow Daoist Yin and Yang. It's only suitable for the products of the distorted civilization of the Tomb City. In our Primordial World, it's just some energy used to return to the origin... Because it embodies the beliefs of all living beings, money has become an indispensable existence. It is also an inevitable part of civilization."
The modern Xi Yi speaks of civilization constantly, and his explanations are always very logical and eloquent.
Kunpeng borrows many ideas from others, and his ability to fabricate stories is almost on par with his.
However, you can't say he made it all up; the key is that his logic is consistent.
At least a bunch of saints couldn't find any logical flaws.
It all came true through a haphazard process, and when everyone believed it to be true, then it truly became true.
"I see?"
Xi Yi had found a good listener; the Azure Sky Daoist was someone who liked to listen to advice.
Daoist Cangqiong had met Xiyi before. This man was full of etiquette, but very impractical, like chewing wax.
Now? It's completely different. It sounds much better, much more profound and unfathomable. Sure enough, his unique evolution has taken place.
Even Kunpeng was affected by what he heard.
Looking at the silver in his hand, he had a new thought.
Money is also a symbol of civilization.
"This afternoon, I have an important task for you three fellow cultivators. I wonder if you three are capable of accomplishing it?"
Kunpeng looked at Yin Yang, Kunwu, and Xiyi.
"Captain Kunpeng, please give your orders, and the three of us will definitely accomplish them perfectly," said Yin Yang Daoist most enthusiastically.
Seeing that Kunwu Daoist was still dazed, he nudged Kunwu with his elbow.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes." He was still in a daze, as if he hadn't yet emerged from the cow dung.
"I will do my best," Xi Yi also said.
"Alright, it's good that you three agree... My plan is that I will go to the paper doll place this afternoon, while you three need to go deeper into the tomb city to continue your exploration, especially with this silver. It needs to be used appropriately... You three should spend the silver as much as possible, buy whatever you can, understand?"
"Understood." Yin Yang understood perfectly.
This means they're planning to split into teams, as Fellow Daoist Kunpeng mentioned before.
They said that once they had enough experience, they could freely form teams.
Originally, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng said that this was not the case during the previous explorations.
We need to explore a few more times before dividing into teams, once everyone's knowledge, experience, and abilities have improved.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
It has to be me. If I hadn't accidentally triggered the Tomb City, we would never have split up so quickly.
"Fellow Daoist Xiyi, be the squad leader," Kunpeng said again.
"Me?" Xi Yi was taken aback.
Yin Yang was also taken aback, a little disappointed, but he held back.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't refuse. It's mainly because you are experienced and highly cultured. Being highly cultured has this advantage: you can summarize and speak on anything, and you can plan carefully before making a decision. Everyone agrees on this, right?"
He then looked at the three of them.
The three of them pondered for a moment.
They used to look down on Xi Yi, but recently they've noticed a change.
The most obvious example is Yin Yang Dao Ren, who reviewed the "breakup" incident from a few days ago.
Xi Yi played a key role in this, and this old friend has improved his rank significantly.
I used to think he was a nice guy, but now I see him as a cultured nice guy.
Adding the word "cultured" makes a world of difference.
"Alright!" Yin Yang nodded after thinking about this.
He agreed.
Kunwu, whose mind was hazy with thoughts of cow dung, naturally had no objections.
The cow dung incident was Xi Yi's way of getting himself out of trouble; he's definitely a good fellow Daoist.
"Fellow Daoist Xiyi is very reliable, and given his abilities, I trust him," Kunwu said.
He's right about that.
The appointment of Xi Yi was based on his abilities: his ability to summarize civilizations, his ability to plan carefully, and his seemingly elusive and forgetful nature.
The four of them were able to set up stalls and wander around the cemetery.
And none of the unexpected events were triggered, which is inseparable from Xi Yi's special abilities.
"Can't remember me, I don't exist"—this cheat is too powerful.
If no one remembers me, who would bother me?
The strange creatures in the cemetery, upon seeing them, probably hadn't harbored any ill intentions before gradually forgetting the three of them.
In a broader sense, it means to avoid being entangled in cause and effect, and for fate to take a detour.
On a smaller scale, it's about being low-key, transparent, and a master of survival.
For both reasons combined, Xi Yi is a good candidate for captain.
It's settled then.
They split up and acted separately in the afternoon.
However, Kunpeng still emphasized that everyone must be careful and cautious, and that safety must be the top priority.
In particular, he said to the Yin-Yang Taoist: You don't want to end up like Fellow Taoist Yangmei, lying on a plank, do you?
If you don't follow my instructions, I won't go to the Paper Doll Space anymore. I'll go back and prepare a comfortable meadow for you next to Fellow Daoist Yangmei, so you can lie down together.
The development of the Tomb City will be hindered because of the absence of your powerful combat force. You don't want to become a sinner who hinders the completion of the Primordial World, do you?

He stopped talking, realizing that impulsiveness was dangerous and that he needed to behave himself.
