"Do you know what year it is outside?"

Regarding the questions that Su Huai'an would ask, there are many kinds of goldfish presets, but in the end didn't expect it to be this one.

"Why ask this?"

Goldfish was a little annoyed at the unexpected question, and asked rhetorically, not wanting to answer.

So Su Huaian knew that the concept of time does not exist for goldfish in the Immortal Mansion.

The lack of understanding of the time outside means that goldfish do not understand what is happening outside, and all cognition and activity ranges are limited within the immortal mansion.

In other words, the reason why goldfish don't care about the external situation may also be because they have been assigned tasks and don't need to pay attention to other things.

So, as an agent of the Immortal Mansion, what is Goldfish's assigned mission?

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Just when Su Huaian was so full of doubts that he didn't know what question to ask, the goldfish couldn't help it.

"Is it so difficult to ask anything?"

...Of course it is very difficult to ask questions. Su Su Huai'an is not without doubts, but because he has too many doubts, he doesn't know which one to ask for a while.

"Then tell me about the origin of the Immortal Mansion?"

This is back to the original track.

Goldfish is not afraid of Su Huai'an asking these questions, but is afraid that the other party will not play cards according to the rules.

Speaking of the origin of the Immortal Mansion, Goldfish itself doesn't know much about it. When it became conscious, the Immortal Mansion already existed, and it was only told to take good care of the Immortal Mansion.

I don't know about the others.

It's just that the goldfish is not going to tell Su Huai'an the truth, it just said vaguely and confidently: "You said it's Immortal Mansion, of course it's the mansion of the immortal!"

Immortal, used to refer to monks who ascended in the past, but after the formation of the boundary membrane, it became a respectful title for ancient monks.

This sentence is vague, but it is not nonsense.

"Where did the owner of the Immortal Mansion go?"

"Master, how can there be any master?"

Jinyu originally wanted to pretend that he was the owner of the mansion, but just as he refuted, he met Su Huaian's clear eyes.

"...he died long ago."

Yes, when the goldfish was born with consciousness, it felt the weakness of the master and the entrustment from the other party.

The other party said, let it guard the Immortal Mansion well, and wait until a certain day when a destined person will come.

Goldfish didn't know what "a certain day" was at that time.

It just waited obediently.

It couldn't leave the Immortal Mansion, so it could only wander bored in the Immortal Mansion. After an unknown amount of time, people began to gradually enter the mansion.

These people have a variety of purposes, it can see clearly, and because of this, it knows very clearly that these are not the people the master asked him to wait for.

These people were noisy in the Immortal Mansion, sometimes talking about treasure hunting, sometimes finding nothing, and fighting with each other first.

Goldfish was still interested at first, but as the same people watched more and more, and the same plot continued to be staged, it gradually lost interest.

At this point, it discovered that it could go into sleep mode.

As the manager of Immortal Mansion, since Immortal Mansion has a set of automatic operation modes and can operate by itself, it gradually began to slow down.

The frequency of deep sleep is very long.

At first, it only slept for a year or two, but later, when fewer people entered the Immortal Mansion, it slept for years and months.

Just sleeping is boring, so Goldfish started playing games after he found that his control of Immortal Mansion was more and more mature.

For example, control the way the Immortal Mansion appears, set some small checkpoints that make it difficult for entrants, and so on.

It changed from a manager hiding behind the Immortal Mansion to a child addicted to playing.

"The master didn't say no!" Goldfish said confidently.

Besides, it didn't intentionally hurt anyone.

"...It's not impossible."

As Goldfish said, it is the manager of the Immortal Mansion, and it is completely free to play with this land boundary.

However, at this moment, they couldn't help but think of the records about Immortal Mansion in the data.

"Mysterious" and "variable", this is the positioning of Langhuan Immortal Mansion.

But who knows, these seemingly incomprehensible performances to outsiders are in the end just a fish too boring to play games.

Is this the "approaching science" in the realm of comprehension?

Su Huaian couldn't help being ridiculed in his heart.

After understanding the operation mode of Langhuan Immortal Mansion, the unpredictable Immortal Mansion seemed to gradually reveal its mystery in front of the two of them.

However, the core problem still seems to be covered with a faint mist.

What is the meaning of the existence of the Immortal Mansion?

This time, without Su Huaian's questioning, Jinyu gave the answer by himself: "When the master passed away, it should be what you call the ancient times."

Hearing this, Su Huaian couldn't help raising his eyes.

"Don't look at me, I found out from his diary."

After taking over the Immortal Mansion, the goldfish's consciousness gradually improved——

For tens of thousands of hours, it has unknowingly raised questions one after another, and in the process of finding answers to these questions, it has produced cognition.

From the diary, Goldfish discovered that its owner was an ancient monk who was originally an immortal existence. However, because of some choices, the other party paid a considerable price and gave up his life.

Goldfish cannot understand this altruistic logic, but they also silently obey the orders given by the other party.

After all, as a conservative monk, the other party still wanted to leave something for future generations before leaving.

"Who is the master of your mansion?"

The goldfish reported a name.

Su Huaian and Rong Xu looked at each other in surprise.

It's not because of the famous reputation of this ancient monk. On the contrary, according to the records, the other party was the one who had the loudest objection when discussing the construction of the boundary membrane.

Although the events of ancient times are unreliable, the debate about the boundary membrane has been passed down.

Back then, the ancient monks had been arguing for a long time over whether to raise the boundary membrane. In the end, if it weren't for sudden accidents, it would still take more time to reach a consensus.

It's just that I didn't expect that the owner of the Immortal Mansion was an opponent before the unification of opinions, but after the unification, he became the one who sacrificed himself.

At the same time, the other party left a valuable legacy.

"Is the situation outside bad now?" Goldfish asked.

Su Huaian nodded.

Goldfish sneered: "It should have been such a day."

In fact, when Su Huai'an learned about the debate back then, he also learned about some of the content of both sides.

Among them, the reason given by the owner of the Immortal Mansion against the boundary membrane is the long-term plan.

What if one day the boundary membrane breaks and another invasion from outside the domain occurs?

Under the long-term protection of the boundary membrane, the monks in the boundary lack aura and training, can they defeat the enemies outside the territory?

In the long run, the boundary membrane is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

The words of the Immortal Mansion Palace Master have many supporters, but the opposition is even louder.

Without a boundary membrane, how to deal with the immediate crisis?

The answer given by the owner of Immortal Mansion is boil.

In other words, natural selection, survival of the fittest.

To a certain extent, the word "boil" is to bear the price that needs to be paid in the later stage in advance.

Of course, this suggestion could not meet the needs of people at that time. In comparison, building a boundary membrane was a good idea that could immediately shield foreign enemies and hide oneself.

"It deserves it."

The goldfish is resentful for its master.

Neither Su Huaian nor Rong Xu spoke.

They are not the group of people who participated in the discussion back then, and they did not face the severe choices back then, so naturally they have no way of judging the right or wrong choices made at that time.

The invasion of the extraterrestrial demons led to the damage of the boundary membrane. This problem seems to support the guess of the master of the Immortal Mansion, but the blessings brought about by the peace of the past tens of thousands of years cannot be completely wiped out.

Up to now, all they can do is face the reality and see the tricks.

"Well, so have you met them?"

Su Su Huai'an changed the subject.

They, of course, were referring to those extraterritorial celestial demon clones who had made trouble in the Immortal Mansion.

"I've seen it, it's just a bug."

Goldfish's tone looked down on the clone of the extraterrestrial demon, but Su Huaian didn't completely believe the other party's words.

If the extraterritorial celestial demon clone is just a small bug that goldfish can crush to death with one hand, then why does goldfish seem so passive in the face of the opponent's wildness?

Of course, Su Huai'an kept these guesses in his heart silently, he was worried that if he said it, he would make Jinyu angry.

After figuring out the origin and purpose of the Immortal Mansion, Su Huai'an's heart, which was heavily oppressed by the demons outside the territory, seemed to finally be able to take a breath.

Even though he knew that finding a way to deal with the extraterritorial celestial demons did not mean immediately solving the celestial demons and getting rid of the troubles in his heart, but if there was a way, there would be a way, and he would not be like flies scurrying around.

"last question."

When it came to the last question, Su Huaian's tone was obviously much lighter.

"Is Zai Zai's birth due to the advance arrangement of your master?"

After the words fell, Jinyu's expression changed, it was obviously a fish face, but inexplicably, Su Su Huai'an saw in the eyes of the other party that he hesitated to speak.

"It's not our fault."

Speaking of Zai Zai, Goldfish is also at a loss.

Ten thousand years ago, his master had a fight with Mozi and became friends.Later, that devil died and left his devil seed to the palace master.

Due to the uniqueness of this monster and the extremely harsh conditions for its growth, it can be said that it is absolutely impossible to regenerate in this world.

The mansion master was soft-hearted, and did not remove the demon seed from the world when constructing the boundary membrane, but put it in a jade pendant in the mansion to maintain the operation of the Immortal Mansion.

"...That's right, it's the one you took away."

Having said that, Goldfish gritted his teeth a bit.

Compared with those little bugs who are clones of demons from outside the territory, Rong Xu ranks higher on the goldfish hatred list.

It was precisely because of Rong Xu's destruction and taking away the jade pendant that powered the center that it had to wake up from its deep sleep and control the operation of the Immortal Mansion by itself.

It is completely impossible to be lazy.

But having said that, the devil seed can survive and promote the birth of cubs, which is something that goldfish never expected no matter how hard it thinks.

Such a thing, even if it searched through the records of the entire Immortal Mansion, it could not find a similar example.

"However, thanks to it."

Jinyu's eyes fixed on Rong Xu: "Otherwise, you might have gone crazy long ago."
