Chapter 2: Spirit Stones
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and Yuan Qiong immediately gets up after making up his mind and starts a new day of cultivation.
Although he had been living in a state of confusion and dormant consciousness before, it was not so serious that he could not take care of himself.
In the previous state, Yuan Qiong couldn't take the initiative to think, and just lived a human life according to instinct.
It's like ants, insects, and fish, living day after day, year after year, just living in a group according to biological instincts.
There is no need to think about the complexities of who I am, where I am, and what I am going to do.
Yuan Qiong tried to clench his fists, squatted a few times, and trotted around the yard again.
In general, he is quite adaptable to his current body, except that he is a little uncomfortable with getting smaller.
According to his memory, he began to cultivate in the martial arts hall at the age of eight, and although he was ranked at the bottom of the same class of students, his physical fitness was not inferior to them.
Maybe it was because he was often beaten when his consciousness was dormant before, but the most important thing was the result of years of cultivation, Yuan Qiong felt that his body was full of strength, much stronger than the physical state in his previous life that often stayed up late and worked overtime.
Even if he is facing an adult now, he has the confidence to knock the opponent down with one punch.
Touching the slightly formed quad abs, Yuan Qiong posed in a variety of poses for the bronze mirror in the room, and deliberately combed his hair, but the black hair over the shoulders always made him feel in the way.
Yuan Qiong muttered dissatisfiedly: "It is necessary to cut the hair, it is really too much of a hindrance!"
Chu Yue, who was passing by, was surprised to see that the young master actually took the initiative to comb his hair, and accidentally dropped the laundry tub in his hand to the ground.
The young master has really changed, and he actually looks in the mirror!
You must know that in addition to eating, drinking, and being able to take care of Yuan Qiong's life before, such trivial things as haircuts and nail clippings were all handled by Chu Yue himself.
Yuan Qiong heard the sound of the wooden basin falling to the ground, and turned around to see the surprised Chu Yue, his face was speechless, is it necessary to exaggerate like this!
Just combing your hair, you need to be surprised like you see an alien!
Yuan Qiong shook his head helplessly, picked up the wooden basin for Chu Yue, and turned his head to continue fiddling with his hair.
"Young master, let me help you. The hair and skin of the body, the parents who receive it, must take good care of it. Chu Yue smiled and took the comb from his hand and gently combed it for Yuan Qiong.
"Thank you. Yuan Qiong touched his nose and said embarrassedly.
It was this faint body fragrance again, Yuan Qiong couldn't help but take a deep breath, sat on the chair and closed his eyes to enjoy it, feeling his little hands pass through his hair.
Yuan Qiong praised convincingly: "Yue'er is really ingenious, whoever marries you in the future is really blessed!"
Chu Yue's cheeks flushed, and she said shyly: "The young master has won the award, I just did my duty." As for getting married, it has to be decided by the wife. ”
What Yuan Qiong didn't know was that just a few days ago, his mother was chatting with Chu Yue's boudoir in private, and she had already expressed her intention to match her with Yuan Qiong.
Now that he says such things, how can he not let the little girl think about it.
Chu Yue has always been very grateful to Mrs. for taking her in that year, and she also hopes to find someone to rely on. Even if Yuan Qiong's behavior is strange, the villagers laugh at him, but Chu Yue, who is dedicated to repaying his kindness and has an innocent mind, doesn't care about this.
Chu Yue gently gathered Yuan Qiong's long hair, coiled it neatly, and expertly fixed the hair with a copper crown.
"Young master, are you satisfied with this look?"
Yuan Qiong touched the bronze crown and looked at the mirror.
What a handsome and beautiful boy!
It would be better if the weight of the copper crown was a little lighter, and Yuan Qiong felt like he was carrying an apple on top of his head.
"Well, yes, yes, it's a little heavy, but it's not too much of a problem. Yuan Qiong nodded, and the bronze crown shook above his head.
"Young master, be careful not to shake your head vigorously when you travel, and shake the copper crown down. Hatsuki reminded.
When she saw the bed that had not yet been made, she picked up the blue quilt and dried it on a sunny day.
Suddenly, a black and white stone rolled down to the bottom of the bed, emitting a faint glow.
Chu Yue leaned over and picked it up, put it on the table, and said curiously, "Young Master, why did you bring the stone to the bed."
When I saw you coming back yesterday, I kept tugging on this stone and refused to let go.
If you like, I'll take you to a nearby abandoned quarry another day. ”
Looking at the fist-sized oval stone, Yuan Qiong touched his lower back, no wonder he had a feeling of diaphragm when he slept!
He picked up the stone and began to remember.
Yesterday evening, when I came back from Wutang, I ran into the little overlord Qian Song.
It was he who deliberately made it dirty, stained Yuan Qiong's new clothes, and stuffed gravel and dirt into Yuan Qiong's collar.
This stone was tucked into the collar of the coat at that time.
But why should I take it home?
Yuan Qiong was puzzled, looked at Chu Yue and asked, "You said that I have been holding this stone since I got home?"
"Young Master, you have always been very weird...... Chu Yue paused, seeing that Yuan Qiong was not angry, continued: "Yes, you have been holding the stone and refusing to let go, and you have been talking to yourself and saying some strange things.
The old lady was afraid that this stone was something strange, and when she took it from your hand, you still refused to let go.
Madame went out this morning to visit the young master's house, and perhaps it was Madame who returned the stone to you at that time. ”
Yuan Qiong didn't remember what happened last night, he just felt that his head was chaotic, and when he opened his eyes, he would be fourteen years old.
Could it be that this stone has something to do with the revival of my memory?
"What strange things did I say at the time?" Yuan Qiong asked in a deep voice.
Chu Yue scratched her head and said, "I don't remember much, many words I haven't heard, such as 'energy absorption', 'restart', 'lack of energy' and the like. ”
Yuan Qiong sighed in his heart, how can these words be so similar to the nouns of computer programs, is this a virtual world?
He squeezed his arm so hard that it hurt him and grinned.
It doesn't seem to be a virtual world.
Chu Yue on the side looked at Yuan Qiong's masochism curiously, sighed, and the young master's absence attack again.
Yuan Qiong naturally didn't know her thoughts, and at this moment he focused all his attention on this black and white stone.
Suddenly, Yuan Qiong's eyes widened, as if he had discovered some secret, and then he kept laughing, so frightened that Chu Yue thought that his young master's condition had worsened and he had completely become a fool.
Just when she was thinking about whether to find a doctor to show Yuan Qiong, Yuan Qiong stopped laughing and asked Chu Yue excitedly, "Where is this kind of stone?"
Chu Yue touched his head and asked worriedly, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Why don't I find you a doctor, Dr. Liu from the next township heard that he is very good at brain diseases. ”
Yuan Qiongyi grasped the small hand on his forehead, and found that this hand was very rough, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, which was caused by taking care of him all year round.
A girl of her age, who was not a golden branch and jade leaf in her previous life, was a baby at home.
"Young master, I'm sorry, my hands are too ugly. Chu Yue mistakenly thought that Yuan Qiong hated her touching her forehead, and was busy withdrawing her right hand.
"No, this is the most beautiful hand I've ever seen!" Yuan Qiong held it tightly, looked at Chu Yue solemnly and said, "Yue'er, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future!"
Now take me to a place where I can find this kind of stone, I will be of great use!"
As he spoke, he was about to take her little hand and go out to look for it, and he couldn't wait for a large number of these stones.
Chu Yue was obediently pulled by Yuan Qiong, and when she heard his promise, her heart was very warm.
"Young master, wash and eat first, and then go look for it. Madame was afraid that you would be bullied when you went to class alone, so she asked for leave from the private school and the martial arts hall for you. There was plenty of time, and it was never too late for us to go back after breakfast. Hatsuki persuaded.
"Come back and eat again!" Yuan Qiong pulled Chu Yue and went out without even caring about the morning cultivation.
......
The two went out and walked about two kilometers to the east, and met many villagers on the way, and they were surprised to find that the little fool of the Yuan family was very strange today.
A rickety old man saw Yuan Qiong and Chuyue going out, and said with a smile: "I took your little wood out for a walk again!"
Chu Dao glared at the other party and said, "My young master is not wood!"
At first, Yuan Qiong didn't take it to heart, but the people he met later said this one by one, which made him very depressed.
"Yo, Dasha came out. A middle-aged Orion laughed.
"You're stupid! Your whole family is stupid!" Yuan Qiong roared with a black line on his face.
Orion dropped his bow and arrow in surprise, and he didn't even react to Yuan Qiong's scolding.
The middle-aged hunter looked at the two Yuanqiong who were far away, and muttered in amazement: "Dasha actually took the initiative to speak!"
Chu Yue glanced back at the middle-aged hunter who was still in a daze, covered her mouth and smiled: "Young master, what you have changed has made the villagers not believe it." ”
Yuan Qiong rolled his eyes and said: "Don't worry about them, one day they will be impressed by me." How far are we from our destination?"
Chu Yue pointed not far ahead: "Young master, over this small dirt slope, you will arrive." There's an abandoned stone mine there, and I've seen a lot of them when I've been collecting firewood. ”
Yuan Qiong nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace, and soon came to the pit.
A broken wooden board that had fallen out was engraved with the words "Cangshan Lingshi Mine" and was covered with dust.
There are piles of rocks scattered around the mine, all of which have been abandoned and abandoned.
Yuan Qiong excitedly held a black and white stone, the white in the stone gradually faded, and the surface began to turn into black stone powder.
A gust of wind blew, kicking up black dust in his palm, and the stones dissipated with the wind.
Chu Yue looked at this wonderful change, her eyes widened, and she asked, "The stone is gone, young master, what have you done?"
"I won't tell you. Yuan Qiong smiled mysteriously, this secret is still the best that fewer people know, even if it is relatives.
"If you don't say it, you don't say it, and I don't want to know. Hatsuki pursed her lips.
Yuan Qiong rummaged through the stone pile, chose a stone the size of a wooden basin, and put his hands on the stone.
The stone is the same, and it turns into black stone in a sharp way.
Yuan Qiong looked in front of him, and in his view, there was a progress bar suspended on the stone, and the longer the progress bar, the more serious the stone's stone deterioration.
When the progress bar reaches the end, the stone will also be completely stone-finished.
"Successfully recharged, delayed sleep for 24 hours. ”
"The energy is insufficient, and it will enter a dormant state after 30 hours, please recharge it in time. ”
Three voices appeared out of thin air in Yuan Qiong's mind, and he was no longer surprised, just treat it as a system prompt for an online game.
I couldn't figure out why such a thing existed, and Yuan Qiong didn't drill into the horns, and put all his mind on absorbing energy.
"Yue'er, help me find a stone with a lot of white parts, I have a useful place. Yuan Qiong commanded.
One more person has more strength, Chu Yue didn't ask him what he was doing, anyway, just do what the young master said.
In this way, the two worked together, the first moon looked for the stone, Yuan Qiong absorbed the energy in the stone, and a pile of black stone more than half a meter high gradually accumulated in front of him.
"Successfully recharged, delayed sleep for 6 hours. ”
"Low energy, 30 days and 21 years later, it goes into hibernation. ”
Yuan Qiong held his hands and took a breath of hot air, and looked at Chu Yue, who was still looking down and carefully selecting stones.
"It's okay, you don't have to move. ”
Chu Yue got up and turned around, and said with an innocent face: "Young Master, is it enough?"
"That's all for today, let's go back to lunch. ”
Chu Yue looked up at the sun: "Oops, I forgot to go back to make lunch for the young master." ”
The two of them went to the creek to wash their hands and tidy up the black stone dust on their bodies. In late autumn and winter, the stream water at this time is cold to the bone.
