The sky is gray.
It seemed as if the whole world was shrouded in a layer of darkness.
The new space was dead silent.
Collapsed castles, broken houses, cracked streets, collapsed squares.
There were ruins, rubble and dust everywhere.
There is nothing else besides these.
There are no human skeletons, nor are there any demon skeletons.
I don’t know whether it was directly destroyed by some terrible force, or whether it had been turned into dust long ago after years of erosion.
The air is also filled with an ancient and desolate flavor.
Luo Qingzhou, with the two little rabbits, moved slowly through the ruins, searching the surroundings carefully, trying to find something useful.
But after searching almost the entire ruins, nothing was found.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt something under his feet and his heart skipped a beat.
He took his foot away and looked down.
A tiny tree root poked out from the crack in the ground.
The piece of tree root was only as thick as a finger, about two fingers long, grayish white in color, with only two roots as thin as hair hanging on it.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then squatted down to observe carefully.
In the huge crack, its other body buried underground has shrunk and turned black.
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand, pinched it, and pulled it gently. The black tree root underground instantly turned into powder.
The piece of tree root in his hand still felt tough.
He stood up and looked around. All around him were gray ruins. There was almost no living life, not even a weed.
He raised his foot and kicked the stone next to him.
The stone shattered with a "pop" sound and turned into a pile of powder.
Luo Qingzhou walked to the front again and kicked other things, but they were all vulnerable and shattered into pieces.
In this space, all life has disappeared and everything has rotted.
Except for the piece of tree root in his hand.
This grayish-white tree root seems to be the only thing left here.
He didn't stay any longer. After putting the tree root into his storage bag, he left immediately.
The environment here, whether it is the atmosphere or the color, or the things around, greatly affects people's emotions and mood.
Out of the passage.
He looked down at the two little rabbits still biting his shoes, hesitated for a moment, and then punched them twice, knocking them unconscious.
Then, some more fruits were put down.
Then he walked away.
Judging from today's situation, these two little rabbits might not be simple and might be the key for him to break the ban.
It seemed that only with these two little rabbits could he enter that space.
But it was my first time entering, and I didn’t know what was going on. It might be that the restriction on that space had disappeared.
If I want to go in next time, I will probably have to bring these two little rabbits with me.
Even so, he still didn't dare to take them back.
Let's observe for a while longer.
Anyway, these two rabbits look a little silly and have a special liking for his stinky shoes, so they probably won't leave for the time being.
After taking a bath at the bottom of the lake, I returned to Meixiang Garden.
While the two little girls were heating up the rice and boiling water, he took a small porcelain bottle, filled it with water, returned to the room, and placed it on the desk in front of the window.
Then, he took out the grayish-white tree root from the storage bag and put it into a small porcelain bottle.
Most of the tree roots and the two remaining roots were immersed in the clear water.
He looked at it for a while, then ignored it, took out the porcelain bottle, collected the two spiritual liquids on the Sun and Moon Mirror, and turned the mirror over to face the moonlight.
After putting away the porcelain bottle, he picked up the dark red gem from the table, observed it carefully in the moonlight for a while, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he put it back where it was.
After dinner.
He dropped a drop of dirt-refining potion into the tub and began to take a bath.
He decided not to go out again until the dirty potion was used up.
It’s better to study hard, practice well, and go treasure hunting at home.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.
There are less than three months left until the autumn exam on August 15th.
During this period of time, his various data continued to advance by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, he felt the energy in his body stirring.
Every time the spiritual fluid and potion are absorbed, they will quickly transform into a hot current and sink into the sea of elixir.
It seemed that a large amount of energy was rapidly accumulating in the Danhai, waiting for the moment of qualitative change and explosion!
He seems to be about to break through again!
This time's breakthrough is from the martial student realm to the martial master realm, so it is more difficult and more important than ever before!
He must keep up the good work, make a concerted effort and make a quick breakthrough!
If it gets stuck suddenly, it will not be a matter of months, but several years or even a lifetime.
Many warriors are stuck in the stage of refining internal organs and cannot make a breakthrough throughout their entire lives.
Therefore, he must continue to provide his body with enough energy and practice, so that the energy accumulated in Danhai can be more and more refined, so that he can break through in one go.
In recent days, he has been out of town to hunt monsters in the Black Wood Forest.
In addition to making money, there is also the opportunity to hone combat skills and use combat to temper the internal organs, making the various organs and acupoints of the body stronger in order to prepare for the sudden outbreak at that time.
During this period, the number of monsters in the Black Wood Forest suddenly became fewer, and no one knew where they had gone.
He only hunted one and exchanged it for a month's worth of dirty potion.
But it should be enough.
After he explored the underground space five times in a row, it suddenly disappeared.
No matter whether it was day or night, every time he went in, it was that lifeless cemetery. Moreover, when he went in last night, he found that cracks had appeared in that space and it seemed to be about to collapse.
Fortunately, the passage on the right seems to be about to be opened.
The deeper you go, the higher the temperature.
Now the stones were beginning to get hot.
He planned to hold on for a few more days. If he still couldn't get through, he would not be able to move forward, otherwise he would be burned to death by the high temperature.
Nothing else was found in the space.
Apart from the dull gem and the branch that had been soaked in the water and motionless, he picked up nothing else.
Although he was a little disappointed, he was in a good mood.
It didn't belong to you in the first place, so getting it is a pleasant surprise, and not getting it is just fine.
Well, he forgot, he also got two silly rabbits.
One is the eldest child and the other is the second child.
After spending some time together, the two stubborn little rabbits finally stopped biting his shoes every time they met, but they would continue to bite them when they were angry or upset occasionally.
Dabao likes to eat meat, and Erbao likes to eat bananas.
The first child is more aggressive but also very courageous; the second child is more docile but also very timid.
Luo Qingzhou decided to observe them for a while and then bring them out.
The two little girls, Xiaodie and Qiu'er, will probably like it very much.
The city of Mo in May seems particularly deserted.
Luo Qingzhou found that the number of people on the street seemed to have decreased a lot.
There have been fewer monsters in the Black Wood Forest recently, but some monsters appear from time to time in the inner and outer cities, causing many casualties.
At the same time, there seemed to be more guards on the city walls.
Luo Qingzhou guessed that the things underground might have been known by many people, maybe even from the demon tribe.
It is estimated that many forces have entered the underground, searching for the ancient battlefield.
He had to hurry.
After buying a few strings of candied haws on the street, he returned to the Qin Mansion.
I went out of town today, and still didn't hunt any monsters, but I did have a fight with someone, and it felt really good.
The energy in the body began to stir again.
Had dinner.
He returned to the room, took out the Martial Arts Stone and looked at the data.
The strength has increased to 15,000, the speed has increased to 200, and the resistance to impact has increased to 3,000.
The increase in mental strength is even more terrifying, it has reached 1500!
It seems that the mutated spiritual liquid is much more effective than before.
Such data should be a breakthrough!
While taking a bath, he dropped two drops of medicine into the tub at once.
The absorption speed is now very fast. In less than a moment, the red water in the bucket turns into clear water.
After taking a bath, he absorbed another drop of spiritual fluid.
After his whole body became hot, he went to the backyard and practiced the "Plum Blossoms Flying" boxing for a while.
He has now mastered the Thunder Fist, Mountain Shaking Fist and Plum Blossom Flying Fist, and can even integrate them with each other, making his punches more powerful.
Once he breaks through to the martial artist realm, his power will probably be even greater.
After practicing boxing for a while, I went back to the room and started reading.
Miss Qin wrote to me again last month.
Bookstores have already opened in Kyoto, and "The West Chamber" and "The Story of the Stone" are in great demand.
The author Luo Mo became completely famous.
When my mother-in-law saw the news, her chest was heaving with anger, and she kept repeating in her mind: It's obviously Yue Mo's, it should be Yue Mo's...
When Luo Qingzhou replied, he also attached the remaining chapters.
He changed the ending of "A Dream of Red Mansions" a little bit. Miss Lin did not die of illness, but married the young and handsome Prince Beijing and lived a happy life in the end.
When the Jia family was ransacked and Baoyu was in trouble, Miss Lin lent a helping hand.
Baoyu finally became a monk.
Baochai's whereabouts are unknown.
The other women all had their own endings, none of which were too tragic.
I hope this ending can comfort Miss Qin Er who is far away in Kyoto.
However, he probably never expected that Nangong Xueyi, the eldest daughter of the Prince's Mansion, was so angry after seeing this ending that she didn't eat for three days. Then when she went to beg Miss Qin Er to reply, she also sent her a letter.
Of course, these two letters are still on the way.
"The way of a gentleman is difficult and obscure. Even the foolish husband and wife can understand it, but when it comes to the ultimate, even a sage will not know it..."
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and read a book at the desk.
The Sun and Moon Mirror next to it was bathed in the pure moonlight and was silent.
The dark red gem next to the mirror seemed to glow faintly in the center under the moonlight.
Luo Qingzhou finished reading the book and was standing up to put it away when the door opened. Qiu'er poked her head out again and asked, "Son-in-law, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Isn't Xiaodie having her period?"
Then his heart moved and he looked at her: "You?"
Qiu'er blushed and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else.
Qiu'er left silently and closed the door.
Luo Qingzhou returned to the bed and thought about things for a while. The door suddenly opened and a slim figure in gauze walked in.
Just as he reached the bed, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Why are you here?"
Xiaodie climbed onto the bed directly, pouted and said, "Why can't I come? I'm coming!"
Then, her face turned red again, and she said in a tender voice, "Sister Qiu'er just had her period today, sir, please make do with me. I will serve you in other places. I will say two words, sir, you can choose, okay?"
"Words?"
"Well, the first word is to make physical advances, and the second word is to engage in verbal sparring... Which one do you choose, sir?"
"… "
"Oh, sir, we can add one more, that would be great."
"… "
"Sir, it can also be multiple choice questions."
“… Xiaodie, where did you learn all this nonsense? Who corrupted my innocent and lovely Xiaodie?”
"Yes, Master! These are all taught to me by you, hehe!"
"… "
The little girl hesitated again, blushing and said, "Sir, I read in that book that there is actually another place for girls..."
at the same time.
Kyoto Prince's Palace.
Miss Qin Er was wearing a plain white dress. She was sitting at the table, writing poetry with a pen. She still hadn't gone to bed.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountains..."
After writing this poem, she repeated it several times and sighed softly.
She longed for such an idyllic life, but she knew that such a life was only suitable for her.
Zhu'er stood aside, looking at her with distressed eyes, silently grinding ink in her hands.
Three o'clock in the morning.
The fragile and melancholy girl returned to bed, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The autumn exam is getting closer and she is so nervous.
She believed that her brother-in-law would definitely pass the exam.
She was nervous not only about her brother-in-law's exam, but also about what would happen after the exam.
My brother-in-law said that after passing the exam...
"Why… "
In the quiet night, she sighed softly again.
Qin Mansion.
It was late at night and the lights were dim.
After Luo Qingzhou coaxed the little girl in his arms to sleep, his soul left his body and flew into the night sky. He bathed in the white moonlight and continued to cultivate his soul.
It has been more than three months since I last saw Sister Yue and Sister Yue.
Last time I used the Message Treasure to reply to that Xiaoyue sister, she only replied once: Brother, I am very busy recently and cannot chat with you for the time being. Please wait for me.
The other party did not explain to him the reason for his sudden departure, nor did he reveal any news about Sister Yue.
It was really strange that both of them left together without even finishing the story.
It must be something important.
While thinking about this in his mind, Luo Qingzhou flew towards Yuanyang Tower, preparing to practice the mental method taught to him by Sister Yue on the rooftop.
Who knew that just as he flew closer, he suddenly saw a moon-white figure on the eaves of the roof.
Under the bright moonlight.
The figure was wearing a white dress with fluttering black hair, and she looked as ethereal as a fairy, hazy and beautiful.
That sister Yue finally showed up!
Luo Qingzhou was delighted and immediately sped up and flew over.
