Chapter 016: A Strange Monument (2nd Update)
Time passed minute by minute, and by the time the four of them felt that they had almost discussed, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening. With the assistance of Luo Hong, the old lady first put on makeup, and then called several henchmen overnight to check the entire villa and its surroundings.
It was already late, Zhong Lin proposed to go home, Luo Xiaoman immediately said that he would drive to deliver it, but Zhong Lin refused on the grounds that it was too late. So Luo Xiaoman proposed to send Zhong Lin out of the villa area again, but Zhong Lin did not refuse this time. But what made Luo Xiaoman depressed was that the old lady also had to go to see Zhong Lin together. And what made Luo Xiaoman even more depressed was that when she blinked desperately at the old lady, so that her eyelids were about to cramp, the old lady still pretended not to see it. Then the old lady put on another hat and went out with Zhong Lin and the puffed Luo Xiaoman.
Walking out of the villa area, the old lady did not mean to stop, and continued to walk, and instead of walking towards the covered bridge, she went straight to the direction of the monument. Zhong Lin thought secretly, "Isn't it not only required that everyone who enters the Red Island should worship the monument first, but also when they leave the island, but this is also what it should be, for the liberation of China, for people to live a good life, these revolutionary martyrs shed their blood, as the younger generations, we should never forget them!"
Luo Xiaoman next to her was a little strange, but she didn't make a sound.
When she came to the monument, the old lady snapped a standard standing salute and kept the posture of standing and saluting for a full minute. Then she said to Zhong Lin: "Zhong Lin, when you first arrived in Hongzhou, Xiao Man should have told you the story of Hongzhou and the monument, right?"
"Yes, old lady! I have great respect for these revolutionary martyrs," said Zhong Lin, who stepped forward and bowed deeply three times to the monument. Luo Xiaoman also stepped forward and bowed to pay tribute to the revolutionary martyrs.
"Hmm?......" When several people were about to leave, Zhong Lin suddenly felt that he had another source force, and he seemed to feel that this source force entered the body from outside the body, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"What's the matter, Zhong Lin?" Luo Xiaoman asked eagerly.
"Zhong Lin, is there anything wrong?" the old lady's tone was full of doubt, but there seemed to be some surprise.
"I have half of the source power again!" Zhong Lin said in surprise and excitement, "Is it the effect of the tonic I ate at dinner, or is it ......?"
"Do you suspect it has something to do with this monument?" asked the old lady.
"Yes, it's very weird, it is said that if it is the effect of the tonic, the source power should be generated in the body, the same as before, but this time this source force seems to have penetrated into my body from outside the body......" Zhong Lin was silent for a while, and then said, "That's right, now think about it, when Xiao Man took me to worship when I first went to Hongzhou, that source force also seemed to enter the body from outside the body, but I didn't care about it at that time! Strange, it's so strange!"
"If that's the case, then let's stand here for a while longer and see if your source power will continue to increase. Luo Xiaoman said.
"Yes, Zhong Lin, you try it!" said the old lady with some excitement.
Zhong Lin nodded, and simply closed his eyes and meditated cross-legged in front of the monument, this was the best way for cultivators to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
Half an hour passed, and Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes.
"How is it?" asked the old lady and Luo Xiaoman in unison this time.
Zhong Lin shook his head in disappointment and stood up and said, "No, except for the source power just now, no source power has entered my body, and the source power in my body has not increased!"
Luo Xiaoman and the old lady's faces invariably showed a hint of disappointment.
Zhong Lin bowed three more times towards the monument, but the source power in his body still did not increase, "Is it all a coincidence?" Zhong Lin said to himself.
The old lady on the side said, "Since this is the case, then there is no hurry at this time, Zhong Lin, you go home first, you are tired today, rest early!"
Zhong Lin also felt that it was too late, and it was estimated that the little aunt was already in a hurry, so after saying goodbye to the old lady and Luo Xiaoman, he walked across the covered bridge and took a taxi to the Fuxing community......
The old lady did not leave the monument immediately after Zhong Lin left, but stood in front of the monument and pondered for a long time. Later, I returned home under Luo Xiaoman's reminder.
After arriving home, the old lady hurriedly asked Luo Hong to make herself a pot of egg noodles. While eating, he said, "Starve me, starve me...... so amused Luo Hong and Luo Xiaoman on the side couldn't help but "giggle".
With the rejuvenation of the old lady, coupled with the strengthening of physical functions, after having the ability beyond ordinary people, the energy required by oneself will inevitably increase, and the energy to be obtained from food, it is naturally not enough to eat according to the usual amount of food. The old lady ate a large pot of egg noodles in one go, and Luo Hong and Luo Xiaoman smacked their tongues......
