Chapter 208: A Boy Who Walked into the Spirit Realm
Hearing this voice, the two brothers and sisters in the room were stunned.
Ning Li put down the kitchen knife in his hand and wiped his hand on his apron, Ning Meng didn't have time to put his schoolbag, turned around and opened the door, and saw the two figures standing outside the door.
A man who looked about twenty-seven or eighteen, dressed in a simple summer dress, and a girl of the same age as himself beside him, both of them carried fruit and pastries in their hands, and they all looked quite kind.
"Ah, you are the ...... next door" Ning Meng was stunned for a moment before reacting.
"Yes, I just moved here, come and get to know me."
Lin Tuo, who had slightly changed his appearance and made himself look much more "mature", smiled, while looking at the girl who opened the door.
Dressed in a clean but slightly small school uniform, carrying a school bag, his dark hair tied back his head, a little thin, but his eyes are bright.
Frankly, it doesn't quite match the name.,It can be seen that it's the kind of girl who understands things early.。
"Welcome......" Ning Meng hurriedly said, took a few steps back, invited someone into the living room, let them sit on the two sofas, and then turned around to boil water and prepare to make tea.
The action is a little nervous, mainly because there are really few guests at home.
Ning Li also walked out of the kitchen at this time, and talked to Lin Tuo skillfully, showing a maturity beyond what he should be young, Huaxi rarely spoke from beginning to end, and stood firm in the "shy" character.
Lin Tuo briefly talked to him for a few sentences, but he didn't talk deeply, nor did he express excessive concern for Ning Li, only said that he had just moved in with his little sister and had already completed the admission procedures for Huaxi...... Well, and Ning Meng is in a school.
This is not abrupt, there is only one middle school closest to here, as for the description of himself, Lin Tuo has already prepared the script? said that he was transferred to work in the high school of Star Academy.
Didn't go into details? Ning Li didn't ask any questions, but he was a little surprised? Finally? Lin Tuo smiled:
"My sister just came here to study, and everything is unfamiliar? Just happened to be in the same school as Xiaomeng, if you could? Tomorrow I hope to help you get familiar with the environment. ”
Beside? Ning Meng, who was sitting on a small stool that had been temporarily moved, glanced at Huaxi, who was obviously not a local and a little shy, and showed a big sister-like smile on her face, and said:
"No problem? I'll take her with me tomorrow. ”
Although the real age Huaxi is a little bigger.
"Thank you." Huaxi blinked? whispered timidly.
"Then don't bother." Seeing this, Lin Tuo got up and said a few more polite words before leaving.
When the door closed, the two siblings returned to the living room, and Ning Meng glanced at the fruits and pastries on the table? After thinking about it, he said:
"Pick the fruit that is easy to spoil first, and I will keep the pastries first? What do you say? ”
"Ningli?" Saying that, the girl who didn't get feedback looked at the teenager? I saw that the latter was frowning slightly, what was he thinking? Hearing this, he suddenly said? "He's strong."
"What?"
"I said that Mr. Lin...... Kindness? If he really went to work in the academy, he would have to be called that in the future," Ning Li said seriously, "Although he didn't show it, I could feel that he was at least a mid-level transcendent."
It's probably still the higher level of the intermediate level.
and that Huaxi, I'm afraid it will be easy to be admitted to the academy. ”
Ning Meng sighed, and said while opening the fruit basket:
"Isn't this normal, otherwise how can I go to work in your academy?
Formal teachers are at least intermediate-level, and their brothers are all intermediate-level, so they must have started cultivating at a very young age, eat a banana, this is easy to deteriorate after a long time. ”
As she spoke, the girl handed one over.
"That's right." Ning Li smiled, thinking to himself that he had been so suspicious recently, to see that no one was right, and then to think about the nightmare last night......
"Is it really because of too much mental stress?" Thinking of this, Ning Li took the banana peel and ate it, and secretly decided to take an adventure tonight, with the help of that world, to settle down.
But I can't tell my sister about this.
……
Next door.
On the spacious living room table, Hathaway saw the two returning, and immediately flew up, curious:
"See what? Is there a problem? ”
Lin Tuo took off his coat, hung it on the coat rack, and glanced at her: "Why are you more anxious than me?" ”
"I'm curious." Hathaway said with a sense of urgency.
Next to him, Huaxi didn't pretend to be shy anymore, blinked, and said:
"Teacher, the target of this mission is the brother and sister?"
Hua Xi didn't know much about the threat of the spirit world before, and it wasn't until the "ghost website" and the history of this world that she came into contact with these dangers.
And I know that a few people came to this world this time to solve some hidden dangers.
But she still had a hard time connecting it with the siblings.
"To be precise, it's that Ning Li, but I'm not sure yet, so I need to observe," Lin Tuo sat down on the sofa, thinking that it did feel better than the old one, and then looked at Huaxi, "And you, are responsible for observing Ning Meng." ”
After a pause, he smiled and said, "This can be regarded as a test of your ability, and it will only be possible to fight head-on." ”
"I'll try!" Hearing this, Huaxi straightened her chest suddenly, and then glanced at Hathaway next to her.
She is not afraid of tasks, but what she is afraid of is that Lin Tuo will not give her tasks.
After all, cooking is interesting, but she really doesn't want to be a cook all the time.
Lin Tuo smiled and threw over a schoolbag and said:
"There are textbooks and materials inside, if there is any information you don't understand, let Hathaway check it for you."
"Oh," Hua Xi picked up the crystal ball and said, "What about you, teacher?" ”
Lin Tuo yawned and looked at some other materials on the table: "I also have my own role." ”
……
That night, the old street was as quiet as ever, except for the original darkness of a room with more light.
Waiting for Ning Li's homework last night, he raised his head to look at the wall clock and found that it was time to fall asleep.
He listened sideways, and after confirming that Ning Meng's room was also quiet, he got up and took off his coat, and then prepared some cold water and put it on the table.
He brought a towel and wrapped his mouth around it, leaving only his nostrils to breathe, and then he climbed into bed, turned off the light, lay down in the dark, and fell asleep.
After a while, Ning Li was in a trance, feeling that he had come to a mysterious space.
It's empty, and it seems to be endless.
Beneath his feet was a pale blue earth like ice, but he knew very well that it was not the real color, but the light that came out of the door.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the large, blue-glowing door, or rather hollow, standing in front of him.
Huge, grandiose, mysterious, icy ...... On the opposite side is the deep black "sea".
If Lin Tuo was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that this was the portal he had seen in his consciousness when he was promoted to the "Inhuman Realm".
And, it's open......
However, Ning Li seems to be accustomed to this, and it is.
For many years, he would come here almost every time he fell asleep, from the initial fear to the later habit.
He knew that as long as he was on this side of the door, he was safe, and he didn't even need to do much, just rest, and the blue light that escaped would nourish his spiritual power.
Every time he nourished, his spiritual power increased a little, and over the years, his spiritual power had already reached the intermediate level of transcendence, but it had never been shown in front of anyone other than Ning Meng.
Even in Star Academy, his performance was in line with the performance expected of a normal, upper-average student.
However, he wasn't going to stay quiet tonight, and decided to go to the other side of the door.
Through his knowledge of the transcendent, he realized that the other side was most likely the "spirit world" in the occult concept, that is, the source of all power.
Many years ago, ancient scholars called it the "Dark Realm", and later some ancient people in history learned its true name in conversations with the "Observing Angels" and further refined the occult system.
Entering the spirit realm is certainly dangerous, and although the inner "life" is not consciously directed against him, there is still the possibility of conflict between the two sides.
If Ning Li violated the realm of a "spiritual life", the other party would fight back, and this kind of fight would also cause harm to Ning Li.
However, there is also opportunity.
"Hopefully I'll meet a weaker one tonight."
Ning Li prayed secretly, and then cautiously came to the grand gate, and when he looked over, there was a dead silence on the opposite side, pitch black, as deep as the universe, and there were many star-like golden light clusters floating irregularly.
Through "experience", Ning Li knew that almost every light cluster was surrounded by "spiritual life", and the larger the light group, the stronger the corresponding life.
As long as it can be defeated, it can temporarily occupy the corresponding light cluster before it is resurrected, making the spirit stronger, purer, and more tenacious.
In the early years, when he was still weak, even the smallest light cluster could not possess it, so he could only hide inside the door and cultivate with the help of the escaping blue light.
Later, when you are stronger, you can try to fight the other party, of course, at present, it is only limited to the weaker ones, and the stronger ones still can't be provoked.
Thinking about it, Ning Li set his eyes on a slightly familiar, suitably sized light cluster, and flew into the spirit realm with steps, condensed a sword in his hand, and cautiously approached it.
The position of the light cluster changes, but occasionally "acquaintances" are encountered.
He thought he was lucky tonight, remembering that this group should belong to a life that was weaker than himself, maybe he could not fight, let each other say a few cruel words, and then occupy the magpie's nest for the night.
"Hey, come out." Thinking, he said, try to call acquaintances.
In the next second, behind the small light cluster, the void shook, and a huge one-eyed giant like a mountain revealed its body, and said with a smile: "Are you looking for me?" ”
Ning Li's face turned pale in an instant, and there was no blood.
This is also considered an "acquaintance", but it is not what I want to meet.
……
At the same time, the old streets, in the houses next door.
Lin Tuo leaned quietly on the sofa, as if he was sleeping with his eyes closed.
His consciousness had already switched back to the mountain itself, and with the help of the sand table, he stared at the very special etheric thread that had floated again, and then looked at the "Armillary Heaven and Earth Kinetic Instrument".
There was no anomalous reaction from the instrument.
"Do you want to pull him again?" Lin Tuo hesitated a little.
