"boom!"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
It's just daybreak outside.
In the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake in Tingyu Garden on a moonlit night, Luo Qingzhou, with his upper body naked, began to practice the "Mountain Shaking Fist" while sweating profusely.
In dim light.
The skin and flesh of the arm that was gathering strength were tense, the muscles bulged, and the surface of the membrane was soaked with sweat, shining with a metallic luster.
The punches became harder and harder, and the winds became stronger and stronger.
In the silent stone chamber, a sharp sonic boom began to be heard faintly.
The membrane, muscles, and fascia all turn from cold to hot, and from hot to blistering hot under the fierce moves of Ba Quan.
Then it began to beat slightly and became sore.
Luo Qingzhou gritted his teeth and persisted in practicing until noon, when he stopped because his whole body was sore and exhausted.
Eat beef and drink water.
Take a short break.
Then, he sat cross-legged again and dripped two drops of spiritual liquid to replenish the energy in his body.
Then he began to practice the internal energy techniques.
After an hour, all the internal energy and physical strength that had been consumed were restored.
He stood up and continued practicing.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Accumulate strength and punch more and more fiercely!
Sweat flowed down my cheeks like water and my whole body was sweating like rain.
The only pair of shorts he was wearing soon became soaked.
In the afternoon.
He left the stone chamber and went to the middle passage, continuing to split the rocks to open a path and temper his fascia and flesh.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the passage, gravel quickly rolled down and stone chips flew everywhere.
In the evening.
He pushed the blocked passage forward another seven or eight meters.
Out of the passage.
After taking a bath at the bottom of the lake, he went ashore, entered the bamboo forest, and was in a trance.
Then, the soul floated out of the bamboo forest and landed on the roof of the Moon-Watching Tower.
Bathed in the sunset glow, practicing the mind and soul skills.
A strange light appeared in the body, flowing slowly throughout the body.
Before we knew it, night had fallen.
When a silver moon rose into the sky, his soul returned to his body and he left Yue Ye Ting Yu Garden.
Return to the courtyard.
Xiaodie was boiling water and heating up food in the kitchen.
Luo Qingzhou was already starving, and after wolfing down his meal, he began to take a bath in the tub with some tendon-strengthening medicine dripped into it.
Lying comfortably in the hot water, I feel the energy penetrating into my body through my skin, slowly moisturizing my tired and sore fascia, and my whole body trembles slightly with comfort.
The light green potion in the water was quickly absorbed.
Xiaodie stood behind him, rubbing his back while stretching her neck and looking into the bucket with wide eyes.
The water in the bucket gradually became clear.
Her eyes opened wider and wider.
“Wow!”
Just when she was about to see clearly, Luo Qingzhou suddenly stood up, showed her his butt with water droplets hanging on it, picked up the bath towel beside him and said, "Look at your butt, go get some clothes."
"oh oh."
The little girl obediently looked at his butt again and quickly ran over to get her clothes.
Finished cleaning the room.
Luo Qingzhou closed the door, took out the Martial Arts Stone, held it in his palm, and checked his current physical data.
Strength: 1800
Speed: 15
Impact resistance: 900
Mental strength: 36
The effect of cultivation is very obvious.
The strength increased by two hundred, and the speed and resistance to blows also increased slightly.
The most obvious thing is mental strength, which directly increased by four points.
It seems that as long as he continues to cultivate his soul, he will soon have a breakthrough, just as Senior Yue said.
Starting from tomorrow, he decided to cultivate his soul in the morning when there is sunrise, in the evening when there is sunset, and at night.
A few days later, when the sun was at its hottest at noon, he tried it too.
I hope to be able to break through to the realm of controlling objects before the New Year.
Put away the martial arts stone.
He said something to Xiaodie and went out.
When we arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace, the gate was closed and we could hear the sound of sword practicing from the front yard.
He hesitated for a moment, then went forward and knocked on the door.
The sound of sword practicing stopped for a few seconds and then continued.
But no one came to open the door.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while and continued knocking on the door.
Still no one came to open the door.
"Bai Ling!"
He knocked on the door and shouted.
After shouting a few times, Bai Ling's cold voice came from inside: "Bai Ling is not here!"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Miss Xia Chan, open the door!"
"Miss Xia Chan is not here either!"
Bailing snorted again.
In the yard, the sound of sword dancing became louder and louder.
"Is the young lady here?"
“Not here!”
Luo Qingzhou stood at the door for a while, and then said, "Okay, I'll go back."
He was about to leave, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If it's because of going to the brothel, then I apologize. I should have told you in advance. But I can guarantee that I didn't mess around with any of the women there. I swear."
Having said that, he turned and left.
After a while.
The gate opened with a creak.
Bailing stood at the door, stretched her head out, looked around, and then pouted her lips and said angrily, "Stinky son-in-law, you actually left. Can't you say a few nice words to Chanchan? Hateful!"
The sound of sword dancing in the yard stopped.
Under the bright moonlight.
The girl in a light green dress had her chest heaving slightly, sweat running down her cheeks with a few strands of hair sticking to them, the sword in her hand was chilly, but her pretty face was still as cold as ice.
"Stupid Chanchan, stop practicing. What's the point of practicing well? I won't pay any attention to you. I want to be the top scholar in the future. When I get an official position, I will be surrounded by guards and won't need your protection."
Bailing was indignant when he saw how hard she was practicing sword skills.
The girl under the tree clenched the sword in her hand, breathed in silence for a while, and continued practicing.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
A figure stood under the moon, with flying black hair and dancing skirt, and a cold light dotted around her, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou returned to the courtyard, talked to Xiaodie for a while, went to the backyard and continued to practice the "Plum Blossoms Flying" boxing technique.
Nearing midnight.
He returned to the room, locked the door, took out the handkerchief from his arms and placed it outside the window.
Then he closed the window and went to bed.
Calm your mind and concentrate, and your soul will leave your body.
The soul passed through the window, took the snow-white handkerchief, floated into the air, and flew quickly towards the Tianxian Tower.
Soon, the brightly lit Tianxian Tower came into sight.
He approached cautiously from high in the air and slowly floated down towards the transparent round bead on the roof.
When the round bead suddenly began to flash, he immediately used his soul power to pull the handkerchief and floated down quickly.
"puff!"
Just as the transparent round bead was about to burst out with light, a handkerchief suddenly floated down and covered it.
The flickering light in the bead was extinguished in an instant, and it fell into the initial calm.
Seeing this scene, Luo Qingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and became more grateful and respectful to Senior Yue.
Then, it quickly floated towards the backyard of Tianxian Building from mid-air.
When passing the back door, he lowered his head and looked intently.
The burly figure was leaning against a big tree not far from the back door, dozing off.
Luo Qingzhou looked carefully in the garden again and did not find anyone else, so he continued to float forward.
Soon we arrived at the pond and the small bridge.
He stared at the other side of the bridge and floated over carefully. Looking down, he saw a figure sitting under a big tree at the bridge head, seemingly practicing internal skills with his eyes closed.
Luo Qingzhou carefully observed other places again, and after seeing nothing unusual, he continued to float forward silently.
Soon, he came to the bamboo forest.
It floated into the bamboo forest and came to the sky above the small courtyard. Looking down, the courtyard was quiet and there was no one there.
The rooms were also dark and there was no sound.
He was not in a hurry. He hovered in the air and waited for a while before floating down carefully.
The closer he got to the courtyard, the more alert he became. His whole body was tense and his mind was highly concentrated, ready to leap into the air at the fastest speed at any time.
But until he landed on the roof, nothing unusual happened.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and listened inside the house.
The room was silent, and there seemed to be no one there.
strangeness
Has it been transferred
Or did he just go out at this time
He was confused.
Then he penetrated the roof, floated into the house, landed silently on the beam, and looked down.
The house was very simple.
There was nothing there except the seats and the bed.
All the houses were empty and covered with dust. There was no one inside and no signs that anyone had ever lived there.
This made him even more confused.
That night I clearly saw the woman in green dress bringing the man called Master Zhang in, and there was also a warrior guarding under the big tree at the bridge head. How could there be no one in this room
Luo Qingzhou searched all the rooms but found no signs of anyone living there, and was puzzled.
He floated out of the house, observed the yard for a while, and then followed the path the two of them had walked that day and floated all the way to the door.
Then, he floated in from the door again.
His eyes pierced through the darkness and suddenly looked at the ground.
Several footprints appeared clearly on the ground!
The room was covered with dust, so the footprints were extremely clear in the soul's sight.
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he immediately followed the footprints to the inner room.
Then, it stopped in the corner in front of the window.
The footprints disappear here.
His eyes focused and he fell to the ground. Suddenly he found that he seemed to be able to penetrate the ground directly.
He had tried several times before, even in his own room, but he couldn't get through the ground.
And last night I heard from Senior Yue that there is some kind of restriction underground that ordinary souls cannot enter.
Now he can go in.
That means that the underground is not underground, but there is a dark room!
His mind suddenly brightened, and he immediately lowered his body, carefully passed through the floor, and floated down.
It’s really empty underneath!
First there was a dark passage, and then a faint light came from the corner ahead.
He floated silently along the top of the passage.
When we turned the corner, we suddenly found that the front was open and it turned out to be a spacious stone chamber!
At this time, an oil lamp was lit in the stone chamber, and a group of people were gathered together talking.
In the corner next to them, two young women were sitting, also talking in low voices.
Luo Qingzhou counted carefully.
There were six people talking around the table, four young men and two middle-aged men.
There are several maps on the table.
One of the middle-aged men pointed at the map and spoke with a gloomy face.
The energy and blood in the house are vigorous, like a burning flame.
Obviously, everyone in the room is a warrior.
Luo Qingzhou observed carefully and found that three of the young men and two women were quite similar to some of the fugitives from the Song family!
Not only are there portraits of fugitives in the city, but the Song family information that Zhu'er brought him also contains portraits and identity information of each member of the Song family.
It seems that his guess was correct!
Hiding here are the fugitives from the Song family!
Apart from the Song family’s children, the others might be the Song family’s guards.
Now they have all become criminals of treason and will surely be killed if caught by the government, so they get together and prepare to fight to the death to take revenge on the Qin family!
Luo Qingzhou approached cautiously, wanting to listen to what they were saying, but as soon as he floated in from the door, he suddenly felt a surge of hot blood rushing towards him!
One of the middle-aged men frowned, as if he had noticed something, raised his head and looked towards the door.
Luo Qingzhou was startled and hurriedly hid in the wall next to him, holding his breath and not moving.
The middle-aged man looked at the door suspiciously for a few times before looking at the map on the table again.
Luo Qingzhou's whole body tensed up and he didn't dare to move any closer.
The room was full of warriors with strong Qi and blood. He was only a spirit at the Day Traveling Realm now. If someone else punched him out of thin air, he would probably be seriously injured.
If he were discovered and attacked together, his blood would surge and he might die on the spot.
Just as he was about to leave, two figures, a man and a woman, suddenly walked in quickly from the entrance.
The short man was holding a sack in his hand, which was oozing with scarlet blood.
The woman followed behind, holding a sword in her hand and with pools of blood on her clothes.
As soon as the man and woman entered the room, they attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
"Zi Bo, what's going on? Is everything okay?"
The middle-aged man who was just pointing at the map and talking asked.
The short man stopped under the light at the door, grinned grimly, suddenly opened the sack in his hand and poured out the contents.
"Gurgle..."
Five bloody heads suddenly fell out of the sack and rolled on the ground.
The sword-wielding woman behind him sneered, “Two shop owners, two manor housekeepers, and a woman in a clothing workshop are all surnamed Qin.”
The people in the room looked at the head on the ground with expressions of relief on their faces.
"Good! Good kill!"
"You weren't being followed?"
The short man sneered, "We originally wanted to go to the mansion of the fourth master of the Qin family, but we were discovered by the guards in the mansion. We got rid of them in the alley, and they didn't dare to chase us anymore. Don't worry, no one is following us."
"Very good! We must assassinate them again and again, so that they live in fear every day!"
"Zi Bo, Huan Yu, come and look at the map. There will be a good opportunity tomorrow night. Someone from Chengguo Mansion came to inform us during the day that Qin Wenzheng and his family may go to Chengguo Mansion for a banquet tomorrow night. At that time, there may only be their second daughter and other maids and servants in the Qin Mansion. I don't know if the son-in-law will go. Normally, the son-in-law and their eldest daughter should go..."
"When the time comes, we will go out together and massacre the entire Qin Mansion! Kill all the people left in the mansion, leaving no one alive!"
"Uncle Ming, could this be a trap?"
"Hmph, don't worry, that person was sent by Madam Wang of Chengguo Mansion. Madam Wang wishes that the bastard would die sooner and that all the members of the Qin family would die. She and Chengguo Mansion were almost implicated, so how could she possibly help Qin Wenzheng and his people?"
"Don't worry, our goals and interests are the same. Tomorrow night, when Qin Wenzheng is away, we will go out and kill them to our heart's content, making the Qin family pay for their blood debt with blood!"
"good!"
The ten people in the room were all very emotional, with expressions of hatred on their faces.
Luo Qingzhou took another look at the five bloody heads on the ground, then quietly stepped out of the wall and left the passage silently.
When he came out from underground and floated to the ground, he took a few deep breaths, then passed through the roof and floated out.
He quickly floated above the Tianxian Tower, then used his soul power to pull and take the handkerchief away.
When the round bead on the roof was flashing, he immediately took the handkerchief and left as quickly as possible.
As I rushed against the wind, the images of those bloody heads kept coming to my mind.
He did not go to Yuanyang Tower again, but went straight back to Qin Mansion.
Just as I was about to float into the courtyard, I suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the gate.
She was wearing a green dress, had a thin body, and held a sword in her arms. She stood motionless at the door like a sculpture, her long, soft hair swaying in the night breeze, and the look on her face was still as cold as snow.
Luo Qingzhou took a few glances in the air, then returned to the house, his spirit returning to normal.
He simply opened the door and walked out.
"Squeak..."
When he opened the gate, he immediately said to the outside: "Xia Chan, I need your help with something."
The cold girl who was standing at the door just now was now ten steps away, standing behind a big tree, and seemed to be preparing to hide in the flowers next to it.
But Luo Qingzhou's words made her stop suddenly.
Luo Qingzhou walked out of the door, looked at her motionless figure and said: "Xia Chan, I did go to the brothel that night, but I was looking for people, those people from the Song family. I went there tonight too, and I found them. So, I want to ask you for help."
The girl stood behind the tree and was silent for a while, then turned around and looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou walked over, took out a hairpin from his bosom, handed it to her, and said: "I bought it for you when I was shopping at the night market last time, but you didn't want it. Maybe you felt that you shouldn't accept it without doing anything. This time, I hope you will accept it."
The girl's eyes fell on the jade hairpin in his hand. The look in her eyes was dazed for a moment. Before she could reply, Luo Qingzhou approached her, gently inserted the jade hairpin in his hand on her head, stepped back to take a look, and said, "Very beautiful."
After a pause, he continued, "Miss Xia Chan is already very beautiful. After wearing this jade hairpin, she will be even more beautiful."
He hesitated for a moment, then added: "Prettier than Bai Ling."
The girl looked at him, as if she wanted to reach out and take off the jade hairpin on her head, but hesitated for a moment and did not make a move. In her other hand, she clenched the sword tightly.
"Come on, go to my room. I want to tell you about tomorrow's plan."
Luo Qingzhou invited softly.
The girl stood there without moving.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly walked up to her, grabbed her cold little hand, and without saying anything, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
The girl followed behind him, looking at the two people holding hands, lowering her head slightly, without saying a word or struggling, and was pulled into the courtyard and into the house by him obediently...
Wait until the gate is closed.
Behind a big tree outside, a slim figure in a pink dress slowly walked out.
She looked at the closed gate and stood in a daze for a while in the moonlight before turning around and leaving silently, alone, with her head down.
