Chapter 42: The Escape of the Spirited World
"I don't know how long it will take to get results?"
Mu Qingyang didn't look forward to the hard practice, but had some disgust. For a character who has always been lazy, it is better to give him a knife when he gets up and sleeps in the middle of the night to practice, which is more direct and crisp.
"Don't worry, there is no concept of time in this world, there are two timelines outside and here, although it is the same sunrise and sunset time passes, but when you step out of here, you are only less than a tenth of the time compared to it, so to speak, your time has always been calculated with ten days as a day, so you can squander your energy until you think you can end it temporarily." The teacher danced a sword flower with one hand and stuck it into the ground.
"So that means I can have a perfect vacation after my studies?" Mu Qingyang's eyes lit up immediately.
"You ......" probably the teacher has never seen this kind of unmotivated student, and he has no words for a while!
"The demonic power of the monster comes from itself, so it is necessary for you to improve all aspects of your body. It's about strength, speed, resistance, resilience, etc., and the first thing you need to improve is strength......"
In the gushing speech, this teacher in full armor spent about a whole day constantly summarizing the fact that Mu Qingyang's foundation was hopelessly poor, and only by constantly exercising hard and intensifying his cultivation could there be hope. If, as he had guessed, this teacher was a manifestation of the Spirits in this world, then how much resentment it must have towards this master?
Mu Qingyang's practice was carried out under the supervision of this teacher, and this learning process was actually a great test for him, because of his sneaky and lazy personality, this teacher's patience index skyrocketed, and the number of corporal punishments he also increased to the point that more than regular training, so that in the end, Mu Qingyang was carried back by several spirits when he was exhausted.
The place where they lived was in a cave not far away, which was similar to the cave buildings Mu Qingyang had seen, but on a larger scale. In view of the actual use, special rooms such as living rooms and bedrooms also have special furnishings, Mu Qingyang chose a separate suite, and the same goes for other spirits. They have been building here for a long time, because of their hard work, their cave life this time is far stronger than the days when Mu Qingyang was injured before.
This kind of life has been going on for about a few days, and Mu Qingyang's physical strength and endurance are also constantly improving. In fact, the corporal punishment here replaces the regular training, because of his laziness, the amount of corporal punishment continues to increase, and he now spends every day in push-ups, sit-ups, and weight-bearing running, and when the days reach the full ten days, the teacher finally gave Mu Qingyang a good news - he can rest for a few days, that is to say, he can go out for a walk. This decision was made in consideration of his subordinates outside, if they didn't see each other for a few days, they would probably cause trouble, knowing that they were still fighting with those cultivators.
Of course, if you want to go out, Shu Ling's help is indispensable, and when Mu Qingyang made this request, Shu Ling's attitude was very strange: "Little master, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble this time......
As it said, Mu Qingyang did encounter a problem, he was still trapped in that cave and couldn't get out......
Mu Qingyang's recklessness finally gave him a big trouble - that cave now only left a small space that could barely accommodate Mu Qingyang's body, but just this small place was formed by Mu Qingyang collecting the chalcedony aura. In other words, if you want to go out, it seems unlikely?
What to do?
Mu Qingyang has been thinking of a way since he came out of the book, if this matter is regressed to the point where he can still wear the dragon armor, it will be a matter of a few punches to solve the dilemma, but if he is now, I am afraid that he can only solve it with directional blasting!
Constant darkness...... It was so quiet that he felt terrified.
Sometimes Mu Qingyang felt that he should already be a very strong person, but when this kind of predicament befell him in front of him, his heart, which was accustomed to seeing flesh and blood flying and hideous and terrifying, actually began to beat violently!
The small space, the death-like silence, only the heart kept beating with tom, as if it was the movement of the sacrificial funeral drum that Mu Qingyang had heard at the bottom of the mountain, which was dull and suffocating......
However, the phrase "The Road to Heaven and Man" has also been fully verified by his body, and when he inadvertently heard a regular clicking movement when his ears were close to the wall......
"Who!" Mu Qingyang seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and asked loudly in that direction.
There was no response for several sounds, and he couldn't even hear the clicking sound, just when Mu Qingyang thought it was an illusion, a regular knock came......
"Who...... Speak! ”
He was not one of those professionally trained agents, nor was he a so-called genius mathematician, and this kind of tapping sound similar to a telegram was of no use to Mu Qingyang at all.
"Who are you?"
It sounded like the voice was not far from Mu Qingyang.
"I'm a tourist stuck here!" Mu Qingyang didn't know how to answer for a while, but he was sure that it wasn't the red leopard and the civet dog, because like this case, they definitely smashed through with one punch.
"Xiao Mu? You...... You...... Are you still alive? Fast...... Dig fast! It's our people in front of ......" The voice was very familiar, Mu Qingyang recalled carefully, and suddenly a name jumped out - Su Maoqi...... Su Laohan?
How did they come here? Didn't the Shadow find them? Why would they think I'm dead......
While Mu Qingyang was still churning these questions in his mind, Su Laohan's voice had already sounded in his ears again: "Get out of the way......" followed by a tremor in the position on his arm, and a dark old face leaned over and looked around.
Su Laohan had a bright miner's lamp above his head, and when the light swept to Mu Qingyang's face, he shouted in surprise: "Really...... It's you! ”
"Quick! Then dig ......" He quickly retracted his head, and the hole in his arm widened so much that it was soon half a man tall!
Mu Qingyang felt as if he had been taken out of the Buddhist altar, his body still in a meditative posture - the space there only allowed him to sit like this.
Su Laohan hurriedly opened her legs slowly and moved her limbs, in fact, Mu Qingyang was not as serious as he imagined, but looking at the surprised expression on this old man's face, he really couldn't bear to interrupt his movements......
"You, are you...... You're stuck here like this? It was the young people of the university examination team who spoke, all of them were wearing miner's lamp helmets, and their faces were also full of dust, Mu Qingyang noticed that he was in a wide passage, and there were colorful ores and rocks on both sides, it seemed that they also met him by mistake!
"He's still weak, don't ask!" Su Laohan stopped those curious questions, and commanded everyone to carry Mu Qingyang out, blinking...... It seems that he doesn't have to go to great lengths to make up stories himself, and someone has made a good excuse for him.
When he came out, Mu Qingyang found that it was a naturally formed tunnel, perhaps because of the ground subsidence, which was magically connected to the place where he was, and was only separated by a thin stone surface.
Listening to Su Laohan, this is a sedimentary cave discovered last time, which is as important as discovering a gold mine for these geological enthusiasts, so their target this time is actually here, and the voice Mu Qingyang heard at that time was that they were collecting samples.
Mu Qingyang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to take the last step, originally he wanted to make a swap with the spirits in the book, so that they could get through to the ground.
As for the reason why Mu Qingyang has not been able to make up his mind, it is that his self-esteem is playing tricks.
Maybe it was the teacher's teaching that played a role, Mu Qingyang is now more and more reluctant to mobilize their strength, even if he was trapped in that small space, when he was frightened, Mu Qingyang's first reaction was to think about whether his strength could get out, and this kind of thinking logic was deeply buried in his mind at some point.
"You really scared the hell out of me when you suddenly fell!" Su Laohan patted his chest and said.
"I fell into a cave, but then there was an earthquake, and it completely collapsed, and I was trapped in that place......" Mu Qingyang carefully sorted out his words.
"We also feel it, in fact, I have heard the elders say before, there are dragons here, and they will turn over and come out to move every full moon, and the earth will shake at that time, we should have met ......" Su Laohan's face was full of piety.
"Your statement is actually wrong, this earthquake is a natural condition, it only means that the geological composition of this place is changing for some reason, and it coincides with the full moon time." There are people among the college students who like to show off come to them to popularize science.
Mu Qingyang ignored him, and was still planning to ask Xiao Ying if he hadn't met them, but Su Laohan said that the Guangdong merchant Boss Shao had also broken up with them in a hurry, and he noticed that he seemed to be a ghost when he left.
"Could it be...... Something to do with him? Mu Qingyang suddenly realized that this guy's identity was very suspicious, it was really a bit abnormal for a tea merchant to work so hard to wade through mountains and rivers, plus the case of Wu Jiao before, everything was linked to him, the most obvious suspicion was that he mysteriously appeared and disappeared, and then there was news of the cultivators, there was no problem with these people in the scientific expedition team, so that Boss Shao was naturally very problematic.
"He walked alone?" Mu Qingyang asked.
"No, a few more people came to pick him up at that time, looking at that kind of dress, I don't know what Taoist priest is, I am very rare here."
Really!
Mu Qingyang instantly remembered Xiaotian's teeth, the blood hole on Wu Jiao's body, and the plot of the novels he had heard about the swordsmanship of cultivators and the plot of novels about collecting rare beasts to refine magic weapons, it seemed that it should be true.
Mu Qingyang couldn't help but itch his teeth with hatred, but suddenly thought of a question: "Didn't the shadow find this group of people?" Shouldn't it...... That Boss Shao left so suddenly? Could it be that he met Shadow Shadow...... Oops! ”
Mu Qingyang jumped up all of a sudden, and wanted to rush out, but unfortunately Su Laohan didn't give him a chance at all, and he was now firmly pressed on the bed......
Can't leave...... What can I do?
"You need to get some rest now!" The old man seemed to be very dissatisfied with his actions just now, as the guide and authority of the team, Mu Qingyang's self-assertion seemed to him to be challenging his prestige.
Mu Qingyang rested for a whole day at this temporary contact point, and finally avoided everyone's attention under the pretext of going to the toilet, and after a short period of solitude, he was lucky to meet a passing little snake.
As soon as Mu Qingyang saw its appearance, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary snake, it was white, the key was that the pair of eyes were very spiritual, it looked at Mu Qingyang like the expression of a child meeting a stranger, except for panic, but he didn't want to escape?
"You...... Is it often ...... Chang Cang's subordinates? Mu Qingyang vaguely remembered the name of the leader of the snake clan and asked tentatively.
The little white snake nodded magically, it seems that Mu Qingyang guessed well, it is really a little monster!
"Hurry up and inform Wen Li and Red Leopard, I am with humans now, and it is inconvenient for me to act alone...... Just say I'm in a hurry! Regardless of whether it could be understood or not, Mu Qingyang hurriedly said a few words and hurriedly left, because he saw Su Laohan coming here from a distance.
"What are you doing squatting there? Did you encounter something again...... Be careful, it's next to the snake's nest...... Snakes are often seen during this season. The cigarette pouch and pot in Su Laohan's hand were still smoking, Mu Qingyang knew that it was not his addiction to smoking, there was now a kind of wormwood burning, which was specially used to prevent poisonous insects and snakes.
"Ah...... Nothing, just went to the toilet and came out a little dizzy......"
"That's because your body is not good, hurry up and rest for a while!" The old man walked over to the kitchen, and it turned out that he was hungry.
Hush......
Wiping a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, I don't know why he is so afraid of others discovering his true identity now, probably a feeling of homesickness is at work, he has been a person for more than 20 years now, and suddenly realized that he is already a monster in human clothes, and he can't help but want to hide this fact, especially nostalgic for those previous feelings.
I guess I don't have the consciousness of a youkai yet, right? Mu Qingyang didn't know how many times he had this idea.
All night, he pondered the question.
……
In the silence of the night, no one was still active in the remote mountain village, only the mountain wind was constantly howling, occasionally prompting stones and dead branches and leaves to hit each other, making a popping sound.
The dark clouds gradually covered the bright moon, and the fishy smell was overwhelming, and a black shadow had been pressed up, surrounding this unknown and remote corner......
