Chapter 33: Incomparably Intense Curiosity
How big is the world?
Lu Ping was curious about this question, in that airtight and narrow stone room, through the palm-sized air hole above his head, Lu Ping had seen this world.
In the early morning, light would shine through the blowholes, and the dust in those pillars of light could float and spin tirelessly for a whole day, and Luping tried to catch them, but without success. However, the feeling of the pillar of light hitting the hand is very comfortable and warm.
At night, sometimes one star could be seen in the blowhole, and if he was lucky, there might be two, and once Lu Ping even noticed that three stars were crowded there and winked at him, for which he was excited for days.
When it rains, rain falls, and when it snows, snowflakes drift in.
Once, a small bird landed in the blowhole, poked its head in, and chirped a few times before flying away.
The world is so interesting, Lu Ping thought. I don't know how big the road will be, it will definitely be much larger than my own stone room. Maybe a hundred, a thousand times bigger.
Later, he finally escaped, and he saw the world beyond the blowhole. The vast sky, the vast earth, these ordinary people are tired of seeing and have no interest in expressing any feelings, but Lu Ping was a little surprised and couldn't open his eyes.
How big is that?
He thought, it must be more than a hundred times, a thousand times bigger!
He is determined to live, and with Su Tang, he is in this world. He was no longer curious about how big the World Realm was, as long as he could be in it, he felt very satisfied.
Puff puff ......
Another pot of mountain spring water was boiled, and small bubbles kept rising from the bottom of the pot to the surface of the water, bursting. Guo Youdao stretched out his hand to pick up the kettle, raised it high, and brewed it again, this time, he brewed three bowls, and Youluping had one bowl.
"Take it yourself. Guo Youdao said, carefully picking up his own bowl.
"Regarding your cultivation, I may not be able to help you much. Wen Gecheng said to Lu Ping.
"Maybe it's because you're too late. Guo Youdao blew the floating tea foam in the bowl and said without looking at it.
Lu Ping noticed a page of letter paper thrown on the tea table, dry, concise and scribbled, which was an invitation to Wen Gecheng, and the date of the inscription: January 22, 1847 in the mainland.
Lu Ping remembers this day.
On that day, he and Su Tang escaped from the organization and walked in the snow for a long, long time, he didn't know where to go, he just kept going. Later, he met Guo Youdao and took them on the road together. Back at the Wind Picking Academy, it would be at least a week later, but judging from the date of the letter, Guo Youdao wrote the letter on the day he met them.
But Wen Gecheng took more than three years to go to the appointment, and Lu Ping couldn't help but be in awe of him.
"It's a miracle that I can see this letter, otherwise do you think I'd see your bad words and come to your barren mountains and mountains?" Wen Gecheng said. His whereabouts are erratic, and there is no logic to him in receiving letters. So he was surprised that the letter had not been lost for more than three years, and that it had finally landed in his hands. Surprised by this, he went on this trip, which was three years late.
"It's worth the trip, isn't it?" Guo Youdao said.
Wen Gecheng nodded, and then said to Lu Ping: "Although you don't care about it yourself, I am very curious about your origin. ”
"I'll find out. Wen Gecheng reached into the window and patted Lu Ping's shoulder.
"Oh. Lu Ping's unexpectedly flat reaction was flat, but this didn't seem to disturb Wen Gecheng's interest at all, and it seemed that after making up his mind, his whole person was full of energy.
"So, I'm leaving. ”
The farewell came so abruptly, Lu Ping thought that if Wen Gecheng was interested in it, he would definitely ask himself a lot of things.
"That's right. Wen Gecheng, who had already jumped down the folding ladder, suddenly remembered something.
"I don't know how you're doing it now, but I have a suggestion. Wen Gecheng said, "It may be easier to distinguish the power of courage and steal it from one spirit to another." ”
"Oh. Lu Ping responded, and his face did not show the kind of epiphany or thinking expression that Wen Gecheng expected.
"Are you already doing this?" Wen Gecheng said with a bit of smuggling.
"Yes. Lu Ping said.
"See you again!" Wen Gecheng left without looking back.
"Huh. Guo Youdao smiled again, drank a bowl of tea, and then looked at Lu Ping: "If you had met him three years ago, you would have taken a lot of detours, right?"
"Yes. Lu Ping nodded. Escaping from the organization was taking advantage of the other party's negligence in the experiment. However, in each experiment, the release of the ecstasy lock is limited, the degree is limited, and the time is also limited. At that time, the power of courage that he temporarily possessed was quickly suppressed by the ecstasy lock.
It was in the past three years of the Wind Picking Academy, countless attempts, and countless failures that Lu Ping finally found the method he is currently using. And Wen Gecheng, just seeing him for the first time, has already been able to sort out so many methods, it is indeed extremely remarkable, if he can really meet it three years ago, it can really help Lu Ping save a lot of time on detours.
"Microscopic, incomparably insightful, and only a person with an incomparably strong curiosity like him could practice such an ability. Guo Youdao said.
"Curiosity?"
"Yes. Don't you see that he cares more about you than you do? Guo Youdao said.
"Then should I help him?" Lu Ping scratched his head, although he didn't care much, but after all, others were busy with his affairs, and he didn't take a hand, as if he was a little too careful.
"Don't worry! To satisfy his curiosity, when he needs your help, you can't escape. Guo Youdao said.
"Then I'd better stay away from him!" Lu Ping was a little scared again.
"You try. Guo Youdao said.
"Why do you suddenly feel so uneasy...... It feels like he's probably going to be even more troublesome than the organization. Lu Ping said.
"Of course, you'll be satisfied that the organization didn't bother you, but his curiosity knows no bounds. Now he was just curious about where you came from, but soon, his curiosity will be transferred to this mysterious organization. Their members, their operations, their purposes, these things, he must have been very interested in knowing the Dao. Guo Youdao said.
"What kind of heart did you get when you brought him here?" Lu Ping asked.
"Uh......" Guo Youdao thought for a moment, "identify your bloodline and help you solve the problem of ecstasy." ”
"And now?" Lu Ping asked.
"Now...... It's just that he's late......"
"I kind of sympathize with him!" Luping said.
"No, he's enjoying it!" Guo Youdao said, "As for you, I didn't expect that you have reached this level now, and you should repay me for saving my life." ”
"You say. ”
"I've already said that the future of the Wind Picking Academy depends on you outstanding students!" Guo Youdao said.
"You're cheating!" said Luping.
"In order to cheat, I relaxed the rules of the court and waited for you for three years. Guo Youdao said.
"Did you say it earlier? I passed the first year of the Tower of Spirits. As for rushing over the head like this?" Lu Ping said.
"It's good to rush over, just pass, where is it enough?" Guo Youdao smiled.
(a little late!!)
