Time flies, and more than a month passes.

The battle when the supernatural power was first discovered broke out briefly and then quickly subsided as the Spirit Alliance took the initiative to retreat, but the confrontation between the two sides in the ancient battlefield could not end here. As long as the Eternal Silence Terrace is one-tenth of the legendary good, it is enough to attract people to scramble, not to mention that the authenticity of the Eternal Silence Terrace has been confirmed.

On that day, when Ji Mu used Gu Zhiyang's magic power to cut out the lotus petals in the sky, people hadn't paid too much attention to it. At that time, most people still thought that it would not be of much use to only get the fragments of the Eternal Silence Terrace.

But they soon had to admit that the existence of the Eternal Silence Terrace could not be judged by common sense at all.

Even if it was just an artifact fragment, when wearing the petals of the Eternal Silence Platform to practice, the cultivation speed could be increased by two to one time. The effect of each petal is different, some can be used directly as a magic weapon for attack or protection, some can help people perceive the realm, and some can repair injuries and nourish the soul......

Every piece is a treasure.

If the fragments are still like this, what if they can have a complete platform of eternal silence?

The coldest of winters is over, but the battle is far from over.

It has been nearly a month, and there have been constant frictions between the Martial Sect and the Spirit Alliance. The Eternal Silence Terrace itself was not visible for the time being, and they tried their best to fight for every fragment that had already appeared.

-- These are all predictable, but to the surprise of most people, it is the results.

The Spirit Alliance and the Martial Sect have been evenly matched for countless years, and even the Spirit Alliance in the Divine Domain has even overwhelmed the Martial Sect, but in this month, the Spirit Alliance has been defeated and retreated, losing cultivators one after another. Although they were often desperate to retrieve the bodies and retreat quickly, the people of the Martial Sect were sure that those people were dead.

And although the people in the Martial Sect also had occasional casualties, compared to the Spirit Alliance, it was an insignificant price. Although there are only a few fragments of the Eternal Silence Platform that have been grabbed, it is undoubtedly an important victory to be able to weaken the opponent's combat power. The cultivators of the Martial Sect were all in high spirits.

As a person who made great contributions to this victory, Ji Mu quickly changed in the hearts of the Martial Sect, and even surpassed Chu Heyi, and faintly became the leader of the group of people in the Martial Sect. And Lu Qiming lived in the camp in seclusion, hidden behind others.

However, seeing each other day and night on this day, some clues are difficult to hide from the eyes of those who have a heart.

......

......

Chu Heyi traveled with Wuzong seven days ago, and he returned on the same day, and it was already evening when he returned.

The house was brightly lit, brighter than the sky in the distance. Chu Heyi did not deliberately avoid people, and called Bai Zhi directly. Both are from the Shangqing Palace, and the two are usually commensurate with each other as brothers and sisters, after all, they are more trustworthy than others, and it is also human nature.

Chu Heyi closed the door casually, beckoned her to sit down, poured a cup of tea for her, and asked, "How is it?"

Bai Zhi thanked him and replied, "I only found the opportunity to contact him three days ago. ”

Chu He said: "Then say three days ago." ”

Bai Zhi nodded and began to speak: "The first day is very ordinary......

......

She had found that every time it was sunny, the young man of the Crane Clan would rest in the sun alone in the small courtyard. Sometimes he makes small objects that others can't understand, sometimes he just closes his eyes and rests, and sometimes he quietly flips through an old book like that day.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but slow down when she walked over, secretly thinking that if she opened her mouth, she would not be disturbed.

It just so happened that the wind came suddenly.

Xu didn't notice that the binding of the old book was loose, and at a certain moment the young man opened it casually, and a piece of the page was blown by the wind in an instant, and floated silently out of the small courtyard.

"Huh?"

Bai Zhi subconsciously raised her hand to grab it, stopped, and fixed her eyes on the young man in a wheelchair not far away. And he also looked over at this time, and the two looked at each other.

......

Chu Heyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what?"

Bai Zhi said: "Then I will return the page to him." ”

That's it? Chu Heyi couldn't help but smile and said, "According to what I discussed with you before, you should take the initiative to ask him." ”

"It's not that I don't want to. Bai Zhi was a little helpless.

......

At that time, she met the young man's gaze, and there was no one around, so Bai Zhi naturally said hello, gently raised the page in her hand, and said with a smile: "It just happened to float to me." ”

The young man also smiled slightly, turned his wheelchair and went over, "There is Miss Laobai." ”

How could Bai Zhi trouble him, and hurriedly walked over, a little curious, "Childe knows about me?"

The young man only laughed silently.

Bai Zhi vaguely sensed what he meant, but pretended not to know. She glanced at the pages of the book in her hand - if this was a martial arts exercise, she would choose a similar one to say and discuss a few words with him, if it was a medical book and Danfang, it would be easy to do, Bai Zhi thought that although she was not proficient, she would not show timidity when she talked about a few words. But I didn't expect that book to be ......

......

"Is it a script?" Chu He was slightly surprised, and immediately thought about it more. He began to wonder if the person was conveying something to him.

"Yes. Bai Zhi didn't think much about it. She was just a little ashamed, after all, the Shangqing Palace had always been strict in dogma, and she had read very few books, and this single page couldn't see anything, so that she really didn't know how to find words at that time. And if she can't find the words, won't her mission to test the intelligence fail?

"So," Bai Zhi continued, "I thought about it later, and simply asked him if I could borrow the script and read it." ”

Chu He's head is also feasible. If that person really had something to say, he would most likely have answered.

"But he didn't agree," Bai Zhi's cheeks flushed, and said, "I only said that the book belonged to Miss Mochan, and he couldn't make decisions for others." ”

Chu Heyi was not disappointed, showed a smile, and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Bai Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "He is always quite kind and easy to get along with." ”

Chu Heyi nodded, and his expression was a little dazed for a while.

Bai Zhi didn't pay attention, and only continued: "Fortunately, when I went the next day, he was processing some medicinal herbs, and I leaned over and talked to him a lot. His medical skills are far better than mine, and he doesn't hide it. ”

Chu Heyi immediately came back to his senses when he heard this.

"On the third day, that is, yesterday," Bai Zhi said, "I brought some snacks and followed him into the house for the first time, and I saw that Senior Brother Li Su and his housekeeper were also inside. They obviously had something to say, so I had to stop for a while and come back. ”

"Li Su?" Chu Heyi really didn't expect it this time, and pondered for a while.

Li Su's strength is undoubted, but he is used to being silent and extremely low-key, so even if he has gathered many followers around him when he comes to the camp, it is still easy to be inadvertently ignored. Obviously, he is also one of the nine supernatural powers, but no one has ever seen him use his supernatural powers in the past month, and the daily battles are completely the same as in the past, so that no one knows what his supernatural powers are.

And in Wuzong's operation seven days ago, Li Su did not accompany him under the pretext of being injured.

"It's not surprising, though. Bai Zhi said: "I didn't find a chance to get close for the first three or four days, and it was because of Senior Brother Li Su and them—they would visit there almost every day. ”

"Every day?" Chu Heyi frowned, "Then what exactly are they doing, can you see it?"

"When I passed yesterday, they didn't avoid me," Bai Zhi nodded and said, "He is teaching Senior Brother Li Su the language of that world." ”

Chu Heyi was suddenly silent, and said for a long time: "Got it." ”

......

......

It's getting dark, and it's time to go back.

Li Su's eyes swept over the dim window shadow, revealing a slightly regretful smile, standing up, and swaying.

"I'm tired of Mr. again today. ”

He was accustomed to wear gray clothes, his appearance was unremarkable, and his eyes were introverted, even a little gloomy, but when he said this, his voice was sincere and aroused good feelings.

Lu Qiming said: "Don't worry. Slightly raised his hand and pointed to the seat, "Sit first." ”

Li Su sat down again as he said and asked, "What do you command?"

"I can't talk about it," Lu Qiming only asked him, "Do you want to come tomorrow?"

Li Su was stunned, his eyebrows frowned imperceptibly while thinking, and he was about to speak, but was signaled to stop by the young man opposite.

"You have come to me for seven consecutive days, but you have always felt that you have made little progress," Lu Qiming asked very calmly, "There is no point in continuing on, right?"

Li Su was silent for a moment, then sighed: "It's the students who are stupid. ”

Lu Qiming shook his head and said suddenly: "Do you remember what I said when you came on the first day?"

Li Su thought about it for a while, paused, and thoughtfully, "Mr. said that what I originally learned was enough......

"To this day, my mind has not changed. Lu Qiming nodded and said: "What people say in their daily conversations often has to take into account a lot, and the words are also modified, sometimes even contrary to the original meaning. It's all human nature. ”

Li Su listened calmly.

"You are a person who is used to thinking twice," Lu Qiming looked at him and said, "There is nothing wrong with this, but when you use 'words and spirits', remember not to do this." ”

Li Su's eyes flashed, he smiled silently, and said, "Mr. really knows." ”

"Otherwise, why are you looking for me?" Lu Qiming relaxed and leaned back on the chair, holding the teacup in both hands, his expression a little careless. He said unhurriedly: "The 'spirit of speech' you get is a magical power that can equate language with the rules of heaven and earth, and it must be concise and straightforward, not contrary to the voice of the heart, otherwise the spirit of speech will not be useful." ”

When Li Su heard the end, he asked out loud, "Sir, did there exist in the first place?"

"It depends on how you define it," Lu Qiming asked rhetorically, "Great cultivators can move mountains and reclaim the sea with one sentence, is this considered a spirit of speech?"

Li Su pondered for a moment and bowed slightly.

"Let's not talk about that. Lu Qiming waved his hand, pointed to the thin-necked porcelain bottle on the table, and there was a red plum that had not yet been fully opened, and asked, "Try it?"

Li Su then moved his gaze and said, "What does Mr. want me to do?"

"Anything. Lu Qiming only said, "I'll take a look first." ”

Li Su understood, so he looked at the red plum again, sank into his heart, and said slowly: "Two feet in front of you, the red plum is in full bloom." ”

"No, I can't. Lu Qiming shook his head directly when he heard this, "First of all, you don't need to refer to it extraordinarily, where your mental energy is concentrated, your supernatural powers will be used, otherwise if you fight with others, won't supernatural powers become a drag?"

"I've realized it," Li said, "but if you say it directly, it often doesn't work." ”

"This is my 'second'," Lu Qiming sighed and said, "Giving vitality is the most difficult of all the rules, if you don't know anything about it, how can you expect the supernatural powers to help you reach the heavens in one step?"

Li Su was silent and said, "What is the meaning of the words?"

"I'm not saying you can't, it's too slow, too slow, maybe you'll have to fumble for years. ”

Lu Qiming glanced at him and said, "According to my understanding, at present, the most convenient way for you to use the spirit of words is to explode the limits of your abilities in an instant, and to exert them to the extreme without interference from external objects. ”

Li Sumeng's pause, countless thoughts instantly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

"Destruction is always the easiest," Lu Qiming lowered his fingers to the vase again, and said lightly: "How to destroy a thing, everyone is born with it." You try again. ”

Li Su came back to his senses when he heard this, organized his heart slightly, and said with a little hesitation: "...... Extinction. ”

The corners of Lu Qiming's lips hooked slightly, and his knuckles tapped the teacup twice, reminding: "Speak straight." ”

Li Su rarely saw him smile, but the meaning of this moment undoubtedly made Li Su secretly annoyed, and there was a little indescribable nervousness in his heart. He could only keep his eyes fixed on the red plum, the budding red almost burning in his senses.

Li Su's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he blurted out: "Withered!"

The moment the words fell, he sensed an extremely subtle fluctuation, and the red plum blossom buds under his gaze trembled, as if they had been drained of water by an invisible force, and slowly withered from the edges.

How did it be?!

For a while, even with Li Su's temperament, it was inevitable that there would be a surge of excitement. A few plum petals were undoubtedly an extremely insignificant achievement, but this was the first time Li Su had seen obvious changes since he received his magical powers.

Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Although it is not the best choice, it is very accurate." If it is a flower, it will wither, this is its original law, and you will feel smooth with your words. However, it could be shorter. ”

This time, Li Su suddenly looked at the red plum in an instant, and said in a low voice.

"'Death'. ”

The petals of the flowers in front of me drooped, the red faded, and everything was scattered with the wind. However, Li Su's heart was no longer pleasantly surprised, but a natural calm, because all this was natural.

When flowers bloom, they wither, and when they live, they die. If death no longer exists, wouldn't life be an illusion?

Li Su suddenly felt that cultivators had spent their entire lives pursuing immortality, and they had originally taken the wrong path. What he should pursue is the vast rules and truths of heaven and earth.

This is the moment.

Li Su closed his eyes, only to feel that the bottleneck of cultivation that had trapped him for a long time was loosened in an instant, the true power between the meridians naturally flowed and blended, and his mind suddenly rose in his perception, following the omnipresent aura between heaven and earth, stretching into the distance almost infinitely.

The Great Mystery.

Just as the wave of aura driven by the breakthrough was about to surge, Li Su recited a static word, and everything calmed down in an instant. He opened his eyes and looked at the young man in his wheelchair again, who was also looking at him.

The conversation seems to go back to the beginning. Lu Qiming nodded and said, "You don't have to come again tomorrow." ”

Li Su was silent for a moment and asked, "Why did Mr. teach me?"

Lu Qiming didn't answer immediately, but raised his eyes to look behind Li Su.

"What," the door was slammed open, Ji Mu strode in, and sneered: "After earning enough benefits, you start to suspect people with ulterior motives?"

Li Su's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked sideways at him.

Ji Mu has been out for days, and he has just come all the way over, showing a bit of dust.

Ji Mu sensed the fluctuation of spiritual power and thought that something had happened before he came over directly, but he heard Lu Qiming talking calmly to someone, where did he not know what he had done? It's just that Li Su's subsequent words made Ji Mu even more uncomfortable to listen to, so he couldn't help but choke on this first.

He stood unceremoniously to separate the two, reached for the empty cup, poured the tea, and drank it all. But the tea was still warm, and Ji Mu didn't feel refreshed at all when he drank it, but even more bored. He lowered the cup in his hand and slammed it on the table.

"What are you doing sitting," Ji Mu glanced at Li Su and said, "Didn't you hear that I was driving people away?"

"Ji Mu," Li Su's voice sank, "You'd better stop in moderation." ”

Ji Mu's eyes were cold, but there was a smile on his face, and he was about to speak.

"Li Gongzi," Lu Qiming sat up straight, raised his hand and put the teacup back on the table, the tea was slightly rippled, "It's not early." ”

Li Su paused, gradually softened his expression, and said, "What Mr. said is true." ”

Ji Mu seemed to have won some great victory, and glanced at Li Su triumphantly.

Li Su didn't pay attention to it anymore, and only got up calmly.

Before leaving, his gaze lingered on the young man's forehead, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart again.

"If there is something unspeakable sir," Li Suding glanced at Ji Mu and said, "Please be sure not to give orders." ”

In a word, before Ji Mu was angry, he had turned around and left.

"What does he mean by that?!"

Ji Mu slammed the door angrily and said hatefully: "Who does he think he is! As soon as I go out, he dares to come close to you! I know that Li Su has been eyeing you for a long time!"

Lu Qiming withdrew the illusion on his body, and put his finger against the center of his eyebrows, but he didn't hear it.

Ji Mu walked around the room, turned his head to stare at Lu Qiming, and asked a series of questions: "Why don't you prevaricate him? You actually really taught him! You haven't taught me!"

Lu Qiming lit the lamp unhurriedly and said, "Why didn't I teach you?"

"That's not counted! it's all ...... "I'm coming."

Ji Mu pursed his lips and didn't say the second half of the sentence, only said: "...... I'm going to go straight to the great mysteries. ”

Lu Qiming's hand steadily put down the lampstand and said, "You are already stronger than him now." ”

Ji Mu was stunned, the corners of his lips couldn't help but go up, and he hurriedly pressed it down, and said, "Really?"

"I won't lie to you. Lu Qiming turned his head and said lightly: "His understanding is far inferior to yours." ”

"Of course. Ji Mu snorted, picked up Li Su's used cup and threw it out of the window, Fang came back and sat down, and said in an accentuated tone: "Anyway, don't believe him, I know that person, he looks honest, in fact, he doesn't tell the truth, his heart and eyes are more than Chu Heyi, and he will only pretend all day long, which is very annoying." ”

Lu Qiming said casually: "I know." ”

"You know you're still so good to him!" Ji Mu glared at him in surprise, and immediately thought of something, and said irritably: "And he just broke through with you...... Okay, in a few days, everyone will definitely squeeze you, endlessly!"

"Isn't this good for you?" Lu Qiming disagreed, "Since you want to be the leader here, you have to restrain your temper." Do you want everyone to work for you, and you don't want any benefit?"

"I don't care what they think...... Ji Mu muttered reluctantly, but he didn't refute it after all.

"Tell me about the past few days. Lu Qiming added warm water to his half-cold tea cup and asked, "How was the harvest?"

"Not very good. Ji Mu pushed his cup over, motioned for him to add some to himself, and replied: "The people of the Spirit Alliance have already learned well, and they won't bring the fragments of the Eternal Silence Terrace with them, and they won't even save the ring." They only solved a few small characters, and I didn't even bother to do it. ”

Lu Qiming said: "What about the others?"

"You mean the ones you asked me to remind them of?" Ji Mu raised his eyebrows, a little disapproving, "I told them, but when that group of people heard that Eternal Silence Terrace might be Cheng Yuan's thing, they wanted it even more." As for being wary of Cheng Yuan...... After all, he is only one person, and he hasn't shown up for a long time, if he is really that powerful, he can just kill everyone, why hide and hide the conspiracy and calculate?"

Obviously, it wasn't just other cultivators who thought the same way, Ji Mu also thought the same.

Lu Qiming nodded, "Just say it." He looked at the flickering light of the fire and smiled.

"They will appreciate you later. ”
