"Bang!"
It's just dawn.
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard from the bamboo forest in the corner of Tingyu Garden on a moonlit night.
Then with a "crack", a section of tree trunk as thick as a bucket suddenly split into two.
The wood inside is cottony and full of cracks.
After Luo Qingzhou used an abandoned tree trunk to test the effects of his training over the past few days, he left the bamboo forest, took off his clothes and went down to the lake.
The heavy snow lasted intermittently for four or five days.
It just stopped today.
The entire Qin Mansion was covered in silver and white snow.
Only by the lake, there is no falling snow.
The lotus flowers are blooming and the willows are swaying.
This warm lake water all year round not only keeps Yueye Tingyu Garden with green leaves and red flowers all year round, but also nourishes other flowers, plants and trees outside the courtyard wall.
In the nearby flower gardens, even in the cold winter, all the flowers are colorful and vying for beauty.
The lark can pick a flower every day and never gets tired of it.
But that girl has been very depressed recently.
Luo Qingzhou had forgotten that very important thing for five consecutive days, which made her almost sick with resentment.
Beautiful flowers will wither if no one waters them.
But Luo Qingzhou is very busy.
During these five days, he used up two bottles of flesh-refining potions in succession and five drops of deep blue spiritual liquid produced in the Sun and Moon Mirror.
It’s not that he is extravagant or wasteful, but he felt it very clearly during his practice these few days.
The flesh of his entire body was transforming, and every time after training, he could clearly feel that his body needed to replenish a large amount of energy, so he would take a bath with flesh-refining potion and deep blue spiritual liquid almost every night.
I even put two drops of medicine in my bath last night.
The effect is also very obvious.
I checked it with the Martial Arts Stone this morning, and found that my strength has increased dramatically from 800 to 1200!
The speed also increased from 8 to 10.
The impact resistance increased from 500 to 700.
My mental strength has increased from 25 to 30.
According to the book, when the strength reaches 1200, the flesh refining is basically successful.
So, he is about to break through!
I originally thought that it would take at least a month, and it would be great if I could make a breakthrough before the New Year. I didn't expect that my progress in cultivation would be so rapid in the past few days.
It could be due to the spiritual liquid, or it could be due to his cultivation of the soul.
Every night these days, he would go to the attic to act as a repeater for that senior soul master.
At the same time, with the help of that senior, he used the tower-guarding beads on the top of the attic to continuously temper his soul.
The soul is about to be promoted.
He vaguely felt that the rapid progress in his physical training in the past few days might be due to the rapid strengthening of his soul.
So he did not forget to use the inky black liquid every day.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Coming to the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake, he continued to practice.
The skin all over his body quickly began to heat up and throb, and waves of strength gathered in every muscle, unleashing the greatest damage to the tough wooden man.
From morning till evening.
For the entire day, except for taking a short break to eat a piece of beef and drink some water, he had been continuously using the most violent attacks to temper his increasingly hot muscles!
After practicing for a whole day, the strength that should have been exhausted suddenly became more and more abundant by the evening.
At the same time, there seemed to be a stream of air about to burst out from the chest!
The skin all over his body turned red, burning hot, and becoming increasingly tense, as if a terrible force was constantly accumulating!
"boom!"
A loud bang echoed throughout the entire stone chamber!
Luo Qingzhou threw a punch suddenly, and suddenly there was a sound of air explosion!
At the same time, the tough wooden man in front of him suddenly cracked with a "click", and the chest that was hit by him suddenly collapsed!
At this moment, Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt his chest empty.
The airflow gathered in the chest seemed to be knocked out by this punch. At the same time, the body suddenly became as light as a swallow, and all the pores on the body seemed to open up as if breathing something. Even the soul trembled with comfort.
He stood in front of the broken wooden man, breathing heavily, sweating all over, his skin red and hot, his flesh taut and shiny, he felt relaxed and filled with a strange and powerful strength again.
He walked to a rock in the corner, clenched his fist, put strength into his arm, and punched out suddenly.
"Bang!"
The hard stone was actually smashed into pieces!
At the same time, his fist just felt a little sore, but he didn't feel any pain.
The toughness of the skin and flesh and the power of its explosion are evident!
"I made a breakthrough?"
He looked at his undamaged fist, walked to the wall again, and punched it hard!
"Bang!"
The wall cracked, leaving a fist mark!
He went over and lifted a huge rock with one hand, and it looked like a piece of cake!
After putting the rock down, he suddenly exerted force into his legs and suddenly ran and jumped in the stone chamber. Both his speed and jumping ability improved by leaps and bounds!
A breakthrough indeed!
He was excited and felt his whole body filled with restless power. He immediately started to punch with the Thunder Fist.
"boom!"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The power is more ferocious, the fist is heavier, and the force exerted is also increasing explosively!
“Boom!”
Suddenly there was a loud explosion!
He actually punched out a thick bolt of lightning, which instantly blew a nearby rock into pieces!
Stone chips are flying all over the sky like dust!
He stood there in a daze.
Can this Thunder Fist produce lightning even if it is made of flesh? And judging from the situation, it is not just a show of power, the real power seems to be extraordinary!
Isn't it said that it is useless and only has a scary look, but its real power is actually very small
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Luo Qingzhou made a few more moves, but this time, no lightning occurred.
strangeness
After performing two rounds of Thunder Fist, he didn't dare to stay here any longer. He immediately left the passage and washed his body at the bottom of the lake.
When I surfaced, I found that it was almost dark.
After seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, he carefully went ashore and returned to the courtyard.
Xiaodie was sitting on a small stool in the kitchen embroidering.
The food is heated in the pot.
Seeing him coming back, the little girl quickly put down what she was holding, went over to bring out the food, and said, "Sir, why did you come back so late today? Sister Qiu'er just came to see you and said that the second young lady wanted to see you for something, so she asked you to come over."
"Second Miss?"
Luo Qingzhou sat down and ate his meal and asked, "Did she say what it was?"
Xiaodie shook her head and said, "No, I said that the young master might go for a walk, so Sister Qiu'er left. Before she left, she asked me to tell the young master to come over after dinner."
Luo Qingzhou thought about it and suddenly thought of Song Zixi, whom he met in Jubao Pavilion a few days ago.
That Miss Song seemed to have said the other day that she would hold a poetry gathering on the pleasure boat in the next few days. Could it be about this matter
He definitely doesn't want to go.
Instead of going there and wasting time to flatter others, it is better to stay at home and practice.
Although he has succeeded in refining his flesh now, he certainly cannot slack off and must continue to practice.
It would be best if we could make further progress before the Chinese New Year.
"Got it, I'll go later."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head to eat, thinking about how to reject Miss Qin Er later.
It's okay to make up your mind to refuse Miss Qin Er. The other party is easy to talk to. As long as she says that she is studying for the exam, she won't say much. The main thing is the mother-in-law.
I'm afraid that Miss Zhu'er will go and tell on Miss Qin again, saying that he doesn't follow Miss Qin's will and doesn't make Miss Qin happy. That would be troublesome.
That mother-in-law has a really bad temper and likes to make trouble for others.
The last time he casually mentioned writing her into the story, she always remembered it. She would ask him about it in a roundabout way every night when she went to pay her respects, and would get angry and scold him for being too slow.
I am speechless.
After dinner.
Luo Qingzhou changed into clean clothes and went to Miss Qin Er.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhu'er was already waiting there. When she saw him, she said with a stern face, "If Master doesn't come, I will go and call him."
Having said that, he turned around and led him inside.
When Luo Qingzhou was thinking about rejecting Miss Qin Er, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the room.
He looked up and saw that the voice had stopped. The person who was speaking turned and looked at him.
Their eyes met.
The man frowned and snorted coldly.
"Mother-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou secretly groaned in his heart. He didn't expect that this person would be here tonight. He had to bite the bullet and go forward to pay his respects.
Qin Weimo was sitting next to him. When he saw him, an apologetic look appeared on his face. He stood up and said awkwardly, "Brother-in-law, it was mother who asked you to come. Weimo..."
"What's wrong with me asking him to come? Can't I still order him around?"
Song Ruyue suddenly rolled her eyes and interrupted her.
Qin Weimo lowered his head slightly and dared not say another word.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and saluted, "I wonder what instructions my mother-in-law has for calling Qingzhou here?"
Song Ruyue had a cold face and started to question again: "Then The Story of the Stone has not been completed yet? Are you deliberately keeping Wei Mo in suspense? Have all the characters that should appear in it appeared? Are some characters omitted on purpose?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he could only say: "Reporting to my mother-in-law, Qingzhou has been quite busy recently. He has been reading and practicing calligraphy, and has not had time to finish it yet. If the second young lady likes to listen, I can tell you another story next time."
Add a person to the book out of thin air, and this person must not only be beautiful, young and pretty, but also have a gentle personality and good qualities everywhere. The most difficult part is the identity and the relationship with other people...
This is really difficult.
Sister Feng? Grandmother Jia? Yuanchun
Obviously neither is acceptable and both need to be changed.
Not only is it a waste of brainpower, it's also a waste of time.
He really didn't want to tell this story anymore.
“Are there any other stories you’ve written?”
Song Ruyue's eyes lit up when she heard that, but she still kept a straight face and said, "If you have any, you can tell Wei Mo first. As long as the story is good and Wei Mo likes to listen to it, then I can write The Story of the Stone more slowly."
"Yes, mother-in-law, Qing Zhou will tell the second young lady a different story next time."
Luo Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said respectfully.
Song Ruyue snorted coldly. Seeing that his attitude was not bad, she stopped scolding him. She took a sip from the teacup and said coldly, "I asked you to come here tonight because I have something to tell you. There will be a poetry gathering in the pleasure boat on the river tomorrow night. It is hosted by Miss Yu Lan from the City Lord's Mansion and others. They specially sent someone to invite you and Wei Mo. The people who went there are all talented men and women in Mo City, as well as some dignitaries. Wei Mo hasn't gone out for a breath of fresh air for a long time. The weather happened to be good these few days, and she has recovered well, so she wants to go out and meet up with friends tomorrow night. If you have nothing to do tomorrow night, go with her."
Luo Qingzhou frowned and had to bite the bullet and said, "Mother-in-law, I have to study tomorrow night, so..."
"So you're going to go and till the soil in my back garden tonight?"
Song Ruyue snorted coldly, put down the teacup with a "pop", glanced at him and said: "If you want to go, you can stay there for the next few nights."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and remained silent.
Qin Weimo quickly spoke softly: "Mother, my brother-in-law will take the exam next autumn. He is studying hard now. It's better not to disturb him. I... I don't want to join in the fun."
Song Ruyue looked at her and said, "You must go. I have something to tell you. Your aunt Zhang introduced you to a man who is said to be a handsome scholar who is proficient in poetry and songs. He has similar interests to you and comes from a good family. He is very similar to Jia Baoyu in The Story of the Stone. Come with me tomorrow to take a look. If it is suitable, I will tell your father when I come back and ask him to go to the other party's house to take a look. If everything is true, you can get engaged to the man during the New Year."
"ah… "
Qin Weimo's face changed slightly, and he stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
Song Ruyue waved her hand and said, "Mother has already made the decision, you don't need to say anything more. You must go tomorrow night, and mother will accompany you. If everything goes well, we will find a good day in the autumn of next year, and you will get married."
As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Qingzhou below and said, "If your brother-in-law can pass the imperial examination, it will be double happiness. Your illness... That's it. I will tell your father about this tonight. You don't have to worry about it."
"Mom, I..."
Qin Weimo frowned and was about to speak when Song Ruyue suddenly stood up, walked in front of Luo Qingzhou, stared at him coldly and said, "Luo Qingzhou, if you don't go tomorrow night, I will drive out the two little beggars in the back garden and let you replace them and plant flowers for me every night!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and left quickly.
The living room fell into silence.
Luo Qingzhou stood for a while, looking at Miss Qin Er with red eyes, not knowing how to comfort her. When he was about to leave, Qin Weimo suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, can you tell me the truth? In The Story of the Stone, did Miss Lin and Baoyu finally get married?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Of course, lovers will be together. Miss Lin and Baoyu finally got married, lived a happy and sweet life, and even had a child..."
"And she gave birth to a few big fat boys and a few lovely daughters, right?"
Qin Weimo looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, the stories you told me always have happy endings. But Weimo could tell that there was a sad atmosphere at the beginning of the story... Weimo knew that Miss Lin would not have a good ending. She is frail and sickly, and she is too fussy. I'm afraid that in the end..."
"Miss, you are worrying too much."
Luo Qingzhou interrupted her and looked at her and said, "Second Miss, don't think too much. Miss Lin's illness will be cured, and she will be with Baoyu."
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "It seems that the second young lady should go out for some fresh air... Tomorrow night, I will accompany the second young lady. I also want to go and see that talented scholar, whether he is really like Jia Baoyu..."
"Brother-in-law."
Qin Weimo interrupted him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with tears, and she bit her lip lightly.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "In fact, Wei Mo feels that Baoyu is not a good match for Miss Lin... Can brother-in-law add someone else to the mix?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled and asked, "What kind of person does the Second Miss want to add?"
Qin Weimo's pretty face suddenly blushed, and she looked as beautiful as a flower under the light, but her eyes still looked at him boldly. After a moment of silence, she said softly: "Brother-in-law... such a person..."
