The black figure left, and Hua'an stayed

The black figure left, and Hua'an stayed. In this dilapidated courtyard, I picked up some hay at random, and then began to boil water for cooking. The pot was bought from the market and cost two copper coins, which is not expensive and not cheap. Hua An meditated and practiced while waiting for the water to boil.

Sitting cross-legged on the dusty ground, Hua An worked his mind. Countless cyan dots gathered around Hua'an's body, covering Hua'an's whole body layer after layer. In the small courtyard without a trace of light, Hua'an exudes a green light.

The spiritual power flowed along the spiritual veins, and after a few moments, it had been running for a week. Suddenly, Hua An shouted, only to see that the cyan light spots that had just covered his body were all gone, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

After cyan light poured into Hua'an's spiritual veins in an instant, Hua'an's spiritual veins suddenly expanded somewhat. Although it was only a little more inconspicuous, Huaan was still very happy.

But then, Hua An suddenly frowned, and a few hot beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead. Hua An gritted his teeth, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't even maintain the posture of meditating on his knees. The cyan points of light that had all disappeared and were incorporated into Hua An's body suddenly reappeared. Hua An raised his left and right hands with difficulty, put an unknown sigil on his chest, and said something in his mouth.

As Hua An's voice became louder and louder, the two hands of the seal suddenly emitted a black light, and it bombarded the ground three feet in the distance. A small, but extremely deep hole appeared there.

Hua An opened his eyes and sighed helplessly. Standing up, he walked to the pot of boiling water, which was already boiling, put out the fire, carried the wooden handle of the iron pot with his left hand, and walked to the only stone bench in the courtyard with the iron pot. On the stone bench is a clay teapot, the surface of which has no patterns or patterns, just a gray patch.

After Hua An poured the teapot full of water, he threw the iron pot with a lot of boiling water on the ground on the side casually, carried the handle of the teapot with his left hand, held it high above his head, tilted his head, and aimed his mouth at the spout of the teapot, and the boiling tea gurgled into his stomach. After drinking all the tea in one gulp, Hua An still didn't feel enough. He filled the teapot with boiling water, then tilted his head and drank it all again. Hua An touched his belly and burped.

Hua An, who had drunk enough, walked back to the broken nameless stele and began to look at the nameless stele seriously. The nameless stele looks ordinary, like the marble that can be seen everywhere, gray and gray, and half broken, without anything out of the ordinary. But such an ordinary stone monument actually blocked Hua'an's continuous all-out bombardment. Hua An's eyes were full of gold, and he stared at the nameless stone tablet in disbelief.

Opening the door, Hua An stepped out of the courtyard door. Turn left and right all the way, and you will come to a blacksmith shop.

"Boss, do you have a shovel?" asked Hua An.

"Yes. The owner of the ironware shop didn't raise his head, still pounding a piece of iron embryo hard.

Hua An didn't care, and asked lightly: "A handful, how much?"

"Bang bang" As if he hadn't heard Hua An's question, the owner of the iron shop waved the hammer and kept knocking for about half an hour.

"Boss, what do I ask you?" Hua An's tone was angry.

"Young people, always frizzy. Good things are waiting for them. ”

"The boss finally spoke, I thought you were dumb?"

The owner of the blacksmith shop raised his head and looked at Hua An, chuckled and said, "I don't believe it." ”

"What don't you believe?"

"Naturally, I don't believe you treat me as a dumb person. ”

The owner of the ironware shop put the beaten ironware into the cold water on the side, and with a "bang", the white mist came out.

"Look, isn't this what you want?" the smith took out the freshly forged iron from the cold water, which was a shovel.

"How much?" Hua An's tone was still cold.

The owner of the blacksmith shop replied with a smile: "Give it as you like." ”

A copper coin crossed a graceful arc and plunged steadily straight into the wooden table in the blacksmith's shop.

The owner of the blacksmith shop slowly walked to the wooden table, stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, clamped the copper coin, and lifted it lightly, and the copper coin left the table.

Hua An's pupils shrank suddenly, "Boss, it's really a good skill." ”

"Good skills? not good, not good. The owner of the ironsmith shop shook his hand again and again, "I'm old, I'm not as good as you young people." ”

"The owner was so humble. ”

The blacksmith shop owner chuckled, not wanting to discuss the topic any further.

"Here's what you want, take it. The owner of the blacksmith shop threw the shovel in his hand towards Hua'an.

Looking at the shovel getting closer and closer, Hua An's expression became more and more serious. Finally, the shovel arrived in front of Hua An's eyes, Hua An took a deep breath, stretched out his blue left hand, and grabbed the handle of the shovel. With a "bang", Hua'an's left hand was blurred with flesh and blood.

"Thank you boss for giving you a spade"

"No thanks, you deserve it"

"Boss, do you know the consequences?"

"The consequences?" said the blacksmith owner smiled, "I really don't know. But I know something, would you like to hear it?"

"Listen to the teachings. ”

"Young man...... the owner of the ironsmith shop, glared at Hua An suddenly, and said in a cold tone, "It's better to hide a little." ”

"The younger generation remembered"

"Remember, let's go. The blacksmith turned around, picked up another anvil, and struck it ping-pong.

Hua An held a shovel in his hand, stopped talking, turned around and walked back. Turn right and left, open and close the door, and Hua'an stood in front of the stele again.

Looking at the charred right hand and the left hand with a blur of flesh and blood, Hua An couldn't help but laugh helplessly. It's funny, after only two days in Yorktown, both hands are close to cripple.

took out a small jade bottle from his arms, poured out three red and round pills, and swallowed the boiling water that was already completely cold.

After eating the pills, Huaan immediately started work. Both hands tightly grasped the handle of the shovel and dug into the ground near the stele.

The shovel slammed against the ground, as if it had been dug not in the dirt, but in hard granite. Hua An used all his strength to dig for two or three hours, but he only dug more than half a foot deep.

After resting for a while, he drank a few more sips of cold boiled water, and the shovel continued to fly brilliantly.

With a "bang", the shovel suddenly broke in its entirety. Looking at the shovel broken in two on the ground, Hua An suddenly laughed: "A copper plate, it seems that it is expensive to buy." ”

Grabbing the section with the shovel, Hua'an continued to dig into the ground. The shovel collided with the ground, and there were sporadic sparks. I really don't know what the floor of this courtyard is made of, it is so hard.

"Don't be in vain, what you have done and what you have not done, others have already done. ”

"I just want to be sure. ”

"Does it work?"

"It doesn't seem to be there for the time being, but there is hope. ”

"What hope?" the voice was mocking.

"Hope is...... After all, I dug half a foot deep. Dig half a foot in three hours, five feet in thirty hours, and fifty feet in three hundred hours. As long as you are willing to dig, you can always dig to the end. ”

The voice was even more sarcastic: "Daydreaming." When you dig half a foot more, you'll find that you can't dig any more than you can dig any further. This is true even for people who are a hundred times stronger than you. ”

"Why?"

"There is no why. Since the discovery of this small courtyard, no one has been able to dig a foot below the ground. ”

"Never?" Hua An asked.

"Never. ”

"I don't believe it, you have to try everything first. Even if what you say is true, if I don't give it a try, I will always be unwilling in my heart. ”

"Whatever you want. ”

"Would you like to stay for a cup of tea?"

"Huh? It just so happened that I was a little thirsty, too. ”

The two walked to the stone bench and sat across from each other. Pick up a few handfuls of dead grass, re-boil the cold water in the iron pot, and pour the hot boiling water into the teapot.

"Do you have a teacup?" Hua An asked.

"What a coincidence. I just brought it. The man took out two teacups, also made of clay. There are no patterns, no patterns, just gray.

"Good cup!" Hua An praised.

"Good pot!" the man praised.

Hua An opened the lid of the teapot and poured tea for the man from the top of the teapot, but he didn't use the teacup himself, and drank it directly with the spout.

The man was stunned. Hua An said lightly: "Originally, I was just polite to you, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously?"

"The beast tide is coming. The man quickly changed the subject.

"Hmm" Hua An put down the teapot and nodded slightly, "The agitation in the air is getting stronger and stronger. ”

"You smell it too?" the man glanced at Hua An in surprise.

"Don't think it's just you Nangu people with a good nose. Hua An stared at the man's eyes and said disdainfully.

"Not only did I smell the agitation in the air, but I also heard a faint roar from the side of the Great Wilderness Mountains. The brutes couldn't take it anymore. ”

"I didn't expect your spiritual senses to be so good, it was really beyond my expectations. ”

"What are you doing with me?"

"I said I was just passing by, do you believe it or not?"

Hua An seemed to smile, "In the past two days, two people have asked me if I believe it, and you are the third." ”

"Oh, really?"

"Even if I believe you didn't come to me, what about now?"

"Are you going to drive me away? You are not at all hospitable!"

"You know, I'm not the owner of this yard. As he spoke, Hua An stomped his foot on the ground, and the entire courtyard vibrated slightly, "Look, there isn't even a crack." I don't have the ability to be the owner of such a sturdy yard. ”

"Do you know when this courtyard existed?" the man looked at Hua An with a smile.

"I don't know. ”

"I know. ”

"But you won't tell me. Hua An sighed.

"Yes, I don't want to tell you. Because, why should I tell you?"

"What do you want?" Hua An asked lightly, fiddling with the teapot that had already drunk all the tea.

"What I want, you know. ”

Hua An gently stroked the body of the teapot, like caring for his lover.

"You can go. An old message isn't worth my teapot. ”

"And what about the other one? about the Hao Beast?"

Hua An stared at him and didn't speak for a long time. The gray teapot in his hand turned faster and faster.

The night was very quiet, there was no sound of insects and birds, no noise of the crowd in the market, and the air seemed to have turned into a viscous glue, which made people breathless.

The man was still sitting cross-legged on the stone bench, his eyes closed, as if he were meditating. The moonlight sprinkled on his body, and instead of making his face clear, it made people feel more blurry and dark.

Suddenly, Hua An slammed the left hand of the teapot sharply, and then slowly spoke: "It's not early, can you go back?"

The man opened his eyes and looked at Hua An strangely, and asked curiously, "Why?"

"I just can't bear my teapot. ”

The man stopped talking, gently put away the two teacups on the stone bench, muttered a few inexplicable syllables in his mouth, and then jumped into the sky, and completely disappeared into the vast night.

Hua An glanced at the place where the man had disappeared, and the corners of his lips twitched, revealing a slight smile.

"What should have come, what shouldn't have come, all came......"
