The room was scary-quiet.

Just when a little uneasiness and fear emerged in Cheng Lin's heart, the voice call finally worked, but before he could react, he heard a short syllable from the other side: "Wait a minute." ”

Then the communication was hung up by the other party......

Not...... What's going on? Cheng Lin stood in the room in a daze, took the phone away from his ear, and looked at the chat dialog on the screen.

In the short two-second connection he had just heard, he seemed to hear some rumbling sound that resembled a stream of water, or more accurately, a shower?

Glancing at the time, well, it's twenty-two o'clock in the evening...... Are you in the shower? So didn't answer directly?

Cheng Lin reasoned, and then a hanging heart fell to the ground with a "bang", and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to himself: "Sure enough, the deduction that is too real is easy to make people nervous." ”

In the previous deductions, whether it was the back of the new world or how many years to come, those unfamiliar scenes and people kept reminding him that this was not real, but this time, it was not the case.

Everything was completely based on the actual time point forward, and this time even made him wonder if the deduction had begun, and the two memories were mixed, making him a little confused for a while.

confirmed that Hua Bei was still alive, which helped him successfully withdraw from that "plot" to reality, and boiled some hot water for himself, and when the water was just boiling, the mobile phone rang, and it was Hua Bei's video call.

clicked on, and a white "grimace" appeared on the screen, which startled Cheng Lin.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was a mask.

In the picture, Hua Bei is wearing a pink and white loose pajamas, holding a mobile phone in one hand, and wiping her wet hair with a towel with the other. ”

Putting the towel aside, Hua Bei asked with a curious wink.

“…… It's okay, just to see if you go back without any problems...... After all, I drank a lot ......," Cheng Lin hurriedly made up an excuse that was not very mellow and said.

Hua Bei, who was wearing a mask, first wondered when she heard this, and then said disdainfully: "You haven't drunk more than one-tenth of me." ”

Cheng Lin was embarrassed, and then dragged a topic and said a few words, which made Hua Beihu suspicious: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Forehead......" Cheng Lin coughed lightly and said with a serious face, "I mainly want to urge you to practice, I happen to be free now, if you have any questions about cultivation, I can answer them for you, such as the three practice methods of Reiki micro-exercises, how to build a spiritual energy field with the fewest steps, and how to maintain ...... in a complex environment."

He said a long list in one breath, and Hua Bei on the other side listened carefully with her ears pricked up at first, but soon she wilted, the mask almost collapsed, and her big eyes were blank.

"Do you understand?" Cheng Lin asked rhetorically after talking to himself.

Then I saw that the girl on the other end of the video nodded confusedly, and then came back to her senses and asked blankly, "What did you just say?" ”

“…… It's okay, good night, go to bed early. ”

"Oh."

Cheng Lin was silent for a few seconds, said, and then hung up the video.

Then, he sighed helplessly.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved ......"

After all, a scene in the deduction still brought him a great impact, and the scene where Hua Bei died was also one of the scenes that impressed him extremely much in the deduction, if it was possible, he really hoped to make Hua Bei stronger, but now it seems that ...... This is an extremely difficult task.

It is very difficult for the salted fish to turn over, and this salted fish is too lazy to move...... That's hellish difficulty.

"Forget it, it's good to let her go down happily and salted fish......"

Cheng Lin shook his head and thought quietly.

As for the danger, as long as he becomes strong enough, he can completely become a big umbrella to shield Hua Bei from the bitter wind and rain.

For Cheng Lin, if the reason why he stepped into the path of cultivation at first was to have enough self-protection ability in this world that is gradually becoming magical, then now...... There is one more reason for him to try to become stronger.

Only if he is strong enough to protect the people he wants to protect from harm.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lin no longer struggled, simply meditated cross-legged and began to practice.

Strength is not overnight, the "Silver Moon Cane" is only a bug item that exists in deduction after all, and in reality, there is no shortcut to any success, Cheng Lin can only work harder, and then work harder.

……

……

The night is getting darker, and the moon is hanging high.

And under the same bright moon, thousands of kilometers away from the Ninth Spiritual Courtyard, in a barren land, several city youths had just extinguished the bonfire in front of them, and then greeted each other and went to their respective tents.

It is located in the northwest of the Xia Kingdom, surrounded by deserts except for the Gobi, as far as the eye can see, only poplar trees stand silently, like sentinels, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

Located in the center of the Tarim Basin, it is the largest desert in Xia and the second largest mobile desert in the world.

With a total area of 330,000 square kilometers, more than 1,000 kilometers long from east to west, with two highways, crossing the desert, carrying local trade and transportation, and also carrying the dreams of some literary and artistic youth.

Crossing the desert is cool and attracts people every year to come here and leave.

After nightfall, this group of urban youths parked their cars, picked up dried poplar wood, lit a fire, spread the local specialty cloth they bought on the sand, and then placed the beautifully packaged food they had brought over.

When dinner had been over, and the passion and excitement were almost squandered, they each yawned and went back to their tents.

Lying down and unable to sleep, some began to swipe their mobile phones, some chatted through the tent, and the organizers chatted with the team leader about tomorrow's route.

"You'll be able to go back tomorrow, right?"

"Well, there are still more than 100 kilometers left, drive slowly, and you will be there."

"When this piece is out, I'm going to try that Internet celebrity store, and I don't know if it's as good as it says."

"Sleep......"

There was a sporadic conversation, and then gradually, everyone fell asleep.

In this desolate desert, there was gradually a hazy light and shadow, and some huge phantom and strange creatures floated over their camping camp, but seemed to ignore them.

It is like two parallel spaces overlapping, on one side is the urban youth who fall asleep in the colorful tent, and on the other hand, there is a strange appearance, wandering in the sky of blurred light and shadow, and there are layers of ripples in the air, if you look down from a high altitude, it looks like a big whirlpool.

Nothing was said all night.

When the sun just rose early the next morning, those strange phantoms disappeared, and in their place were the mountains of the desert.

"Tear up."

Pulling the zipper of the tent hard, the leader squinted his eyes, propped up his faintly heavy head and walked out, stretched out in the morning light, and then subconsciously looked towards the road not far from the camp.

The next moment, the guide was stunned as if struck by lightning, and in an instant, his loud shout sounded in the camp.

"Projection! Appeared!! ”
