Volume 2 Concentric Garden Chapter 236 Reward for Completion!
"Haoxu? Oh, it's really Haoxu, hurry up, knock down all this ash on his body! β
Dean Xifeng finally waited for things to take a turn for the better, and it turned out that Haoxu, who had been petrified before, suddenly recovered his body, but there was a lot of powder and dust left on his body.
"Dean? How am I here, I am, back? Haoxu, who had just come back from that world, was still a little confused, remembering that he should have been in that world for seven or eight months, and he didn't know how long it had been here.
"Dean, what time is it?"
"Now? Well...... Ten o'clock in the evening? β
"What day is it?"
"Which day? I want to think about it...... Well...... I don't seem to remember much, but why do you ask this as soon as you get back? β
Qiu Shi on the side informed Haoxu of today's date, and it turned out that the current time was less than two hours after they just came in.
Haoxu felt very incredible, but He Xiang, Liu Ran and Gao Jin on the side rushed up and hugged him, and at the same time couldn't help crying:
"Haozi, you're finally back, we thought you were dead!" (Ho Chi Ang)
"Yes! We're so worried! (Gao Jin)
"Just now we were still thinking, if you really die, how will we spend the salary you earned before!" (Liu Ran)
"Yes, this is really hard for us, especially when I think of it, it is the hard-earned money you earned by working hard to deliver couriers to Boss Lu for several months, and I feel ashamed when I spend it!" (Ho Chi Ang)
"Huh!?" (Haoxu)
Haoxu Tianqiong really couldn't help but give these guys a few mouthfuls, but they hugged them too tightly, and their bodies had just recovered, so they couldn't move for a while.
"Okay, okay, I'm not dead, I'll keep the salary for myself, so I won't bother you, let me go quickly."
The three of them let go of their hands, and Hao Xu moved his body, only to realize that his whole body was sore because he had been standing in one position for too long when he was petrified.
And it was also the case that the stone chips and dust that had been scattered on the ground were suddenly swept up by a gust of wind, gathered in the sky, and turned into a stone slab again. Immediately afterward, everyone saw a crack in the surface of the slate, and a light came out from its interior, and as the light broke out of the slate's shell, a surfboard that looked like it was made of some special material appeared.
It landed on the ground slowly, then dissipated all the light around it, and now it lay quietly on the ground, like a sleeping kitten.
"Fallen Strings?"
Other people don't know, how can Haoxu Tianqiong not know, isn't this an important prop that he used to fly when he was a human envoy in that world-string feather, and this string feather was also given the title of "Falling String Feather", named "Falling String".
"Could it be that this is what Yu Minghan said about the gift?"
Sure enough, when Hao Xu approached, the quiet string feather suddenly swayed slightly, as if it was signaling to Hao Xu.
"Is it really a falling string, wow! Doesn't that mean I can fly from now on? β
When the surrounding people saw this scene, some were puzzled, and some were smiling.
"It seems that I got a chance." Qiu Shi walked behind him and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile, "Do you want to try to break through now, your cultivation may be improved." β
"Really?" When Haoxu heard this, his eyes lit up directly, "If I break through now, can I really succeed?" β
"Well, because I can see that when you first came back, you were in a state of vague perception of time, and in general, this situation is often due to - went to another plane. Obviously, you've been there for a long time, so you're constantly asking what time it is, but don't worry, in this case, if you go to that world for ten years, and when you come back to our world, it will only be a day at most. β
"I, Uncle in the green cloak, you know a lot!"
"Of course, and also, my name is Qiushi, it's not, uncle with a green cloak, I'm obviously wearing civilian clothes now, but there's no green on my body at all."
Xiao Mo also grunted twice and agreed.
"Then Uncle Qiushi, why do you say that if I break through now, it is possible to improve my cultivation?"
"Because, if you've been there for so long, you've certainly experienced a lot of things there, and the more things you experience, the more you're rightβthe Tao! The more you understand. And when you're right, the Word! The more you understand, the more likely you are to improve your cultivation, because, the Tao! It is the ultimate goal pursued by all practitioners, and every practitioner is enlightened "Dao"! That's why there is no end to the path of cultivation, because of the Tao! It's something that can never be understood. β
I see, then ask this, "The Way"! What is it, and why does it need to be deliberately followed by a parentheses, followed by an exclamation mark, and every time you read the word, it suddenly says it out loud with a little pause? β
"Hmph, then you are really right, because, if you ask me, then I will not hesitate to tell you: I don't know, "Tao"! What is it, because I am also enlightened! One of them, like you, I am walking in pursuit of the "Way"! on the way. β
Looking at Qiu Shi, who said so confidently that he didn't know, everyone was speechless.
However, before they could have too much frolic, the huge scroll also moved on the other side.
Everyone was attracted by the sound it made, and they all turned their heads to look, only to see that the scroll also began to shake violently, and then a large one threw a person out of it, and turned in the air and somersaulted 720 degrees, landing firmly on the ground.
"Not gentle at all, liar!"
When he landed, he didn't forget to curse at the scroll.
Isn't this the same Ling Zeru who was swallowed before?
When Gou Shuyan and Yu Youxing saw him finally appear, they couldn't help but come to him. Ling Zeru turned his head and saw that it was them, and asked with some surprise, "Why are you still here, and when is it now?" β
His reaction was exactly the same as that of Haoxu before, in a state of confusion about time.
"Brother Ling, you're finally back!" Yu Youxing was really excited to see him come back safely.
"Also? Has anyone else just returned? β
Facing Ling Zeru's question, Haoxu Tianqiong strode over and laughed:
"Hey, who's that? Ling Zeru, I went in later than you, but I came out earlier than you, this time, did you lose to me? β
"Oh? Get in? So, you've been to another place for a while, and you don't know where you've been? β
"That's a good question! I went to one, with the sci-fi style of the future era, but with the atmosphere of classical mythology, there, full of love and sin, despair and hope, truth and falsehood, promises and lies, both laser weapons, humanoid Gundam, and divine angels, sacrifice rituals, oh~~ It's really an unforgettable place. β
Seeing that he was so emotional, Ling Zeru still looked at him with unwavering eyes, and Haoxu couldn't help but get a little angry again.
However, he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked Ling Zeru rhetorically:
"Ahem, I don't know, what kind of place did you go to?"
Ling Zeru thought slightly, "I'm going to one, huh...... With the atmosphere of urban romance, there are also some suspenseful and terrifying places. β
"Gone?"
"It's gone."
"I say so much, you just say two words?"
"What's wrong with two words, two words are enough."
"Oh roar, huh? I don't know, what did you do in that world? β
Faced with this question, Ling Zeru closed her eyes and was a little difficult to speak.
"Oops? Weak heart? Are you embarrassed to say something bad? Seeing this situation, Haoxu naturally wanted to make it difficult for Ling Zeru.
"Alas, it's not a secret, I went to that world, killed a man, and then ......"
"How many?" Haoxu Tianqiong hurriedly interrupted without waiting for him to continue.
"One."
"Oh my God, only one?"
Seeing Haoxu actually let out a disdainful laugh, everyone here was puzzled.
Naturally, they wouldn't have thought that this guy Haoxu would actually break so much information by himself.
"Just kill someone? Oh my god, it's too inferior. Let me tell you, I'm over there, and all the people I kill are lined up to kill, and the people I kill add up can't be counted with two hands and feet. What a cowardly little boss, the chairman who eats and drinks for nothing, I won't let go of any of them. But! I want to emphasize that among the people I killed, there are also benefactors who have fought side by side with me and even have been kind to me. Even so, I was merciless, stabbing a former brother, thinking that we were born and died together, chatting together, and sharing the same bed together......"
"Sharing a bed?" (The crowd exclaims)
"That's right! But so what, even if I used to be a brother who shared weal and pain, I still raised the knife in my hand and slashed to death with a knife, without any hesitation! β
When Hao Xu was able to speak, he turned his head and found that He Xiang, Liu Ran and Gao Jin, who were hiding on the side and trembling, were hugging each other at this time.
"Haozi, I'm sorry, it's us who made it to ourselves." (Ho Chi Ang)
"That's right, Brother Hao, if I have offended you in the past, I hope you will be more considerate." (Gao Jin)
"Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you to study with me before, don't worry, I will take care of myself in the future and stop bothering you." (Liu Ran)
Facing the panicked appearance of these three people, Hao Xu was a little crying and laughing, he just wanted to go up and explain to them, but found that every time he took a step, they took a step back, always keeping a distance.
"Oh, really, you're too cowardly, I just said that casually, I'm not the kind of person who has no heart and no lungs, right, Dean?"
He turned his head to look, but he didn't expect the dean and Qiu Shi to hug each other, trembling.
"Yes, yes, yes, Tianqiong, before my old man, maybe, sometimes, I was a little harsh on you, but my original intention was to hope that you would study hard, but, I understand now, you you, you and you, you can rest assured, I will never point fingers in the future, you can do whatever you want, all of them are your freedom."
"Dean, what are you kidding? You're just as playful as they are. β
"Eh, don't come here!"
Lu Tianyou looked at them with a cowering look, and couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Dean, what are you all afraid of, his cultivation is still so low now, and Lang Tianju is not by his side, now he can't pose a threat to you at all." β
Haoxu also hurriedly followed and said: "Yes, yes, I am unarmed now, and my cultivation is not high, so I can't do anything to you at all." β
This seemed to be reasonable, so the dean coughed twice and cleared his throat, and quickly adjusted back to his original majestic appearance.
"It's also Ha, how can I be frightened by an unarmed child? Really, it's nonsense at all. I was just joking around with you, you can all see it, right? β
Everyone nodded in understanding.
But at this time, Lu Tianyou deliberately said as if he was bad: "Although he is not a threat now, in the future, he can't say for sure." β
The relaxed crowd suddenly became nervous as if they were facing a great enemy, especially Dean Xifeng, who decided after some careful consideration:
"Okay, it's a hidden danger to keep it, it's better to take advantage of the fact that he is still weak, just start first and never suffer in the future!"
"Huh? Dean, are you serious? β
Haoxu was trembling at the moment, he knew that he was like this, why did he have to do it in the first place!
"Huh!"
Dean Xifeng turned into a ball of light in his hand and shot straight towards Hao Xu, who didn't have time to feel the danger and subconsciously protected himself.
"Airflow!"
A gust of wind surrounded Hao Xu, forming a barrier to prevent everything from the outside world from approaching. The ball of light shot by Dean Xifeng was also instantly blown away when he approached, of course, this ball of light was originally shot out by Dean Xifeng to bluff and play with him, but it actually didn't have any lethality.
"Wind?" The people present were all amazed when they saw that Haoxu actually used the power of the wind.
Even Hao Xu himself was stunned by the wind ability he subconsciously used.
He remembered that in that world, in order to fight against Hou Jingyao, Yan Liang held a martial arts ceremony for him and blessed him with the power of the wind, but he obviously didn't expect that this power of the wind could actually be brought back.
In other words, he had only been in this world for two hours, but he had gained the power of the fallen strings, the power of the wind, and the possible improvement of his cultivation.
It's a real opportunity.
Everyone saw that Haoxu had gotten so many new things back and forth, and everyone couldn't help but come up and ask him what he had experienced in that world.
Haoxu Tianqiong was suddenly surrounded by everyone, and a feeling of pride actually rose in his heart, so he used concise words to tell them the story of his experience in another world.
"I see, everything is illusory, so it seems like a ...... to kill my former brother with a knife" (Akitoi)
"It was forced by the situation, and it had to be done!" (Haoxu)
"So that's the case, Haozi, we misunderstood you." (Ho Chi Ang)
"Of course, you are the most important brothers to me, and I will never do anything to you." (Haoxu)
"Hehehe, there is no impossibility, Haoxu, you have already experienced so much in that world, you should understand that the world is so big, there is no reason for everything, anything can happen in this huge world." (Creek Breeze)
"That'...... If that happens, I'll do it cleanly and try not to make you feel miserable. (Haoxu)
"I regret it, Dean, why don't we get rid of it quickly and strike first?" (Ho Chi Ang)
"I think so, too." (Creek Breeze)
"Hey, hey, kidding, kidding!" (Haoxu)
After listening to this story, even Ling Zeru couldn't help but nod and said, "It is indeed a very unique and rare experience. β
As soon as Haoxu heard it, I said it all, so how can you not say it?
"Then I don't know, what did Ling Zeru go through? Would you mind sharing it with us? (Haoxu)
"Uh, there's something to share, I've said it all, I'm just going there to kill someone and come back." (Reizawa Ruu)
"Impossible! Do you think that a few words can cover the past? As you said before, it's a world where urban romance and suspense and horror coexist, and your story will definitely be very exciting, right? β
"I ......"
Faced with this request, Ling Zeru showed a look of embarrassment for some reason, and he turned his head to face the scroll, as if he was making eye contact with it, asking something.
"Can I talk to them?" Ling Zeru asked the scroll with her consciousness.
"They are not the beings of that world, tell them that it doesn't matter." The scroll was real, and it was also sent to his consciousness to answer.
Hao Xu noticed something unusual, and quickly guessed that there must be something wrong with the scroll in the back.
"You look at that scroll, don't you, that scroll won't let you say it?"
Ling Zelu sighed, "That's it, I'll tell you, it shouldn't be anything, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you." β
So, Ling Zeru also told the story.
