Li Qingyu was locked in the firewood room by the old man and couldn't go out.

Although she herself also wants to have more time to study the law, but active and passive are different after all, she closes the door and concentrates on studying that is called retreat, and being closed to study is called confinement, even if there is no difference between the two in terms of results, but the mood is not a little bad.

So after being locked up for about four days, Li Qingyu decided to sneak out to have a look.

After observing the past few days, she has basically figured out the rules of the old man's life, he will basically fish by the lake every morning, and will come back to see her progress at noon, and he will not know where to go in the afternoon, and he will not come back until the evening.

With the strength level of the old man, she didn't dare to run around when the old man was fishing, after all, the lake was not far from the firewood house, and she could easily monitor every move here if her strength was not limited, not to mention the unpredictable old man.

So Li Qingyu's target time was set for the afternoon, within an hour after the old man disappeared.

She just wants to go out to breathe, and there is only a lake around that she has never been to to hang out, and she doesn't plan to go further away, even if she is discovered by the old man, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Just do it, this afternoon, when the old man didn't know where to go as usual, Li Qingyu waited in the firewood room for about two quarters of an hour, and walked out of the firewood room with an axe.

Tentatively walked into the courtyard, the old man had not yet appeared, and there were no suspicious characters around, Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the courtyard door towards the place where the old man usually fished.

This unknown lake is very large. As far as the eye could see, if it weren't for the dark green color of the water, she almost thought it would be the sea.

Didn't go far along the lake. Li Qingyu found a large stone with a very smooth surface, so he jumped up and sat down cross-legged, squinting his eyes and blowing the breeze to look at the scenery on the lake.

After staring at the lake for a long time, Li Qingyu suddenly found a problem-

This lake, it seems, is a dead lake?

The surface of the lake stretches as far as the eye can see, but there is not the slightest movement on the surface of the lake, except for the waves brought by the wind. Although she couldn't use her divine thoughts now, her natural affinity as a spirit of plants and trees could make her feel that there was really no life in the water.

If you think about it, the old man fishes by the lake every day. But I've never seen him catch a fish, could it be that he's just making a show, actually cultivating or doing something else?

Staring at the lake, Li Qingyu wanted to go down to the lake to take a look. But I'm afraid that there will be something in the water that is as detached from cognition as before. It's easy to get into the water and hard to get out of the water, and now the strength is limited, if something happens, and the old man is not there, won't he die silently?

Li Qingyu, who was sitting on the stone and tangled, didn't notice that the sky in the distance behind him had changed from grayish white to earthy yellow at the beginning, and at the junction of the ground and the sky, there was a faint line of dark yellow objects rolling, and it was coming towards this side at an extremely fast speed.

A few minutes later. Li Qingyu finally discovered the abnormality, and the originally cool breeze didn't know when it would dry out. The tiny grains of sand rolled in the air and hit the face very uncomfortably, and the sky that had been very bright a moment ago was covered with a layer of gray color.

What happened?

Li Qingyu looked up at the sky, and then turned his head to look behind him.

A sand barrier of unknown height connected the heaven and earth, although there was no sound, but looking at that scene, Li Qingyu felt that the whistling wind and rumbling thunder sounded in his ears.

Is this the storm that the old man said before? It's a sandstorm!!

Li Qingyu, who was startled, almost didn't sit down and fell into the lake behind her, knowing that the situation was urgent, she hurriedly jumped off the stone and ran towards the old man's courtyard.

The old man's ability is difficult to guess, since he said that he let himself stay in the firewood room with peace of mind and not run around, then that small courtyard must have the effect of being able to resist the storm, if his strength is still there, such a storm may not be impossible to bear, but now, if she stays where she is, it is definitely a dead end.

The lake was obviously not far from the small courtyard, but seeing the huge sand barrier getting closer and closer, Li Qingyu wished that he would immediately grow two more legs, regretting why he had walked so far along the lake.

As the sand barrier approached, the sound that had not been heard before gradually amplified, and although the volume was not enough to shock people, the huge energy contained in it could already be heard.

Li Qingyu, who was still thinking just now that if her strength was still there, she would probably be able to withstand this storm, and now she had overturned her previous thoughts, if she was swept into the storm, even if the strength of the Yuan Infant Stage was still there, she probably wouldn't be able to last a quarter of an hour.

This damn world!

While cursing in his heart, Li Qingyu carried the axe and ran towards the small courtyard where he could already see the courtyard wall.

However, although the courtyard wall was getting closer and closer, the sand barrier was also getting closer and closer, and the deafening roar was so loud that it shook people's chests, and the strong wind with sand and gravel hit Li Qingyu's face, making it difficult for her to even open her eyes, and the oncoming wind directly reduced her running speed.

Just as she ran to a distance of less than two hundred meters from the courtyard wall, a loud noise came from the sand barrier, and with this loud noise, a dazzling light fell from the sky into the sand barrier.

Because of this light, Li Qingyu vaguely saw that there seemed to be a huge creature in the sand barrier, which was spreading its teeth and claws with the wind.

"Roar-!!"

The creature's light struck and let out a roar of pain, a visible sound that pushed the sand barrier towards it with great speed.

Fear.

Boundless fear instantly enveloped Li Qingyu, the legs that were still running just now were as if they were filled with lead, and the right hand holding the handle of the axe couldn't help but tremble, almost throwing it to the ground.

Seeing that the sand barrier was getting closer and closer to him, and the huge pressure weighed down on him, the fear in Li Qingyu's heart gradually turned into despair.

Under her gaze, the old man's courtyard was already shrouded in a sand barrier, and in another two or three seconds, he would be involved in it, but at this moment, an abrupt laugh sounded from the bottom of her heart-

"Scared silly?"

At the same time as the voice sounded, a familiar feeling made Li Qingyu almost burst into tears.

Her Yuan Infant Cultivation is! Her spiritual powers! Her thoughts! It's all back!

The strength returned, Li Qingyu immediately made a decision, pinched the spirit trick with both feet, lifted the axe in front of him, and rushed towards the direction of the small courtyard against the strong wind.

It didn't take much time to rush through the distance of less than two hundred meters, and it would be safe to rush in, but if she retreated, the endless lake made her really unable to think of a way out.

Although she had already anticipated the power of the storm, when she actually rushed into the sand barrier, she still felt that it was difficult to move an inch, and if it wasn't for the divine mind to lock on to the location of the small courtyard, she would probably have completely lost her direction by now.

"Roar!!" The unknown creature let out another roar, which made the tiny Li Qingyu's heart tremble, for fear that it would notice him, and the hand holding the defensive spirit trick immediately replaced the spirit trick with a hidden breath spirit trick, regardless of whether he would be beaten with a sand face.

Holding his breath like a snail, he slowly rubbed to the edge of the small courtyard, and he didn't even want to look for the courtyard door, so he tried his best to climb over the wall against the strong wind, and when he fell into the small courtyard, Li Qingyu felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.

Unlike the outside, there was not even a hint of breeze in the small courtyard, and the yellow sand was covered overhead, but the air below was as fresh as before.

Feeling that the spiritual power and divine thoughts disappeared again, Li Qingyu pursed his lips, got up from the ground, picked up the axe that was thrown aside, and limped into the house.

As she expected, the old man was indeed sitting on a chair in the living room, with a pot of tea in front of him.

"Thank you for saving your life."

The old man didn't even look back, and snorted softly: "Don't you suffer if you're disobedient?" ”

Li Qingyu bared his teeth and didn't answer, only laughed dryly.

Although she wanted to ask what was going on with her return to strength just now, she probably wouldn't talk about it when she looked at the old man, so she simply didn't think about it, anyway, according to what he said, she could leave here after the storm, and the time of such a few days would pass.

"Do you know what that big guy out there is?"

"I don't know, I don't see clearly."

"That's the companion of this world, and you can think of it as the other half of this world."

"The companion of the world...... Is it a living thing?! Thinking of its roar, Li Qingyu had the illusion that he was still in the storm.

"That's just what you see." The old man suddenly paused when he said this, turned his head to look at her, although he couldn't see the details of his expression clearly with his beard, Li Qingyu just felt that he must be smiling like a fox, "Do you want to follow me to see it up close?" ”

Facing the old man's face, Li Qingyu almost blurted out "don't", but she swallowed it back alive.

Although he didn't know why he had a friendly attitude towards him from the beginning and helped him a lot, Li Qingyu knew that such kindness was sincere, that is to say, the final result of the old man's proposal would definitely be beneficial to him, and a rash refusal should lose a big opportunity.

But why is there a bad premonition?

Reason and premonition conflicted with each other, and Li Qingyu stood there for a long time without replying.

The old man was not in a hurry, the old god was sitting at the table and tasting tea, and he didn't know how many sips of tea he had drunk before he finished it.

Finally, Li Qingyu gritted his teeth and agreed: "I want to go and see." ”

There shouldn't be any real danger, if there will be a big gain in the end, a little torture in the middle is also a good deal, besides, isn't the old man still watching from the side?

"Haha, good!" The old man smiled and clapped his hands, not knowing whether to praise her choice or to look forward to what was to come.

In the next second, Li Qingyu found that he was no longer in the living room, but in the long yellow sand. (To be continued......)
