Chapter 123: The Girl on the Beam
Wuji raised his hand, rubbed it hot, methodically combed his hair, dry washed his face, and finally covered his palms over his eyes, and slowly opened his eyes.
There was silence all around, Xiao Ziyue was already asleep, and the quilt was kicked off in half, revealing Bai Huahua's little belly.
The sound of grinding teeth on stones came from the room on the left, the snoring of wood came from the room on the right, and the creaking of the bed when Lin Fei turned over.
There was a crisp sound of gongs outside, which rang three times, and then faded away, and rang three more times.
It's been three watches in the night.
Meditation has become a daily part of his daily routine. From the moment he entered the secret passage of Zifu Mountain and marched towards Zifu Mountain, he has always insisted on meditation. Meditation is especially important for him to calm his mind and restore his mental power.
When he was in Zifu Mountain, he forcibly solved the Book of Heaven, and although he had the help of the old man, he finally succeeded in unlocking the Book of Heaven, but he used his brain too much and had always had lingering fears about that adventure. Along the way, he didn't dare to try again.
The brain, unlike other organs, has a poor ability to regenerate, and if it is damaged, it is likely to be a lifelong trauma. He couldn't take such a risk until he found the right way.
He didn't want to dedicate himself to the Great Qin Empire, he didn't have this obligation, and he didn't have this interest.
However, I don't know why, the closer he got to Xianyang, the more he felt a strange feeling, a sense of belonging to the Great Qin Empire, and a feeling of homesickness when a distant wanderer returned to his hometown.
For him, the feeling was too nonsensical.
He had never thought of being a submissive citizen of the Great Qin Empire, otherwise he would not have crossed the border and absconded to the Purple Moon Forest. He doesn't have any feelings for Xianyang, and for Ying, Xianyang is a great city, and for him who has seen a modern city with a population of tens of millions, these are all pediatrics.
Well, there is only one possibility for this feeling: it is not his, but the great master.
In order to help him unlock the Book of Heaven, the great master opened his mind and contributed his brainpower. He used the brain power of the great master to calculate, and also accepted the memory of the great master by the way.
Although he is not sure how much he has inherited so far, it must include the most important memories and emotions of the Great Master.
It is impossible for a great master to have no feelings for the Great Qin Empire, and it is impossible for him to have no feelings for Xianyang, but this kind of feelings are more vague, more obscure, and not so clear.
Part of the reason why Wuji insists on meditating every day is to find out how many things the great master left him and what they are.
It's a pity that so far, the legacy of the great master is still sleeping in the depths of his memory, and only the tip of the iceberg is exposed. How to unearth this treasure, he has not yet found a good way.
He's not an expert on the brain, after all. Even so, human beings have very limited understanding of the brain, and there are countless things that cannot be understood. For example, how did the old man share the computing power of the brain, and how did the great teacher transfer the memory to his brain.
Even experts in brain science probably can't explain such a problem.
But the great master did it, although he may not be able to explain it clearly.
For Mowgli, this is his most urgent goal at the moment, and if he can find a way to share his brain power, he may be able to use the same method to parse the Book of Heaven. One person doesn't have enough brainpower, what about two people, what about ten people, what about a hundred people?
Now that the Great Master has taken the first step, he can continue to open up along this path.
However, this way to share brain power has not yet been found, but the mundane emotions of the great master infected him first, making him have a strange feeling for Xianyang and the Great Qin Empire.
It wasn't what he needed.
Of course, this is not up to him, even if the brain is now his.
Wuji was helpless, got up and moved, climbed into bed, and closed his eyes.
After a while, there was a sound of rustling on the beam, and a figure slid down the wall silently, standing in the shadows, not moving for a long time, just bending down, gently rubbing his knees, and turning his waist again.
The lumbar spine made a soft "snap" sound.
The figure suddenly froze, and looked vigilantly at Wuji on the bed.
Wuji opened his eyes, looked at him with a smile, and teased: "The small waist is twisted well, come, twist it again." ”
The figure was shocked, and with a flick of his hand, a cloud of smoke exploded, blocking Mowgli's vision. Taking advantage of the fact that Wuji pulled up the quilt to cover it, he jumped up, stuck to the wall like a gecko, and quickly climbed up.
"Whoosh!" a sharp arrow flew through the air, grazing his cheek and pinning the black towel from his face to the wall. The sharp arrow was right in front of his eyes, which scared him into a cold sweat and didn't dare to move for a long time.
Lin Fei stood motionless in the shadows, drawing his bow and arrows, aiming at the figure on the wall, his eyes were cold and cool.
"Come down, are you really going to lie on the wall all night?" Wuji lifted the quilt, sat up cross-legged, and said with a smile: "Why don't you let me see your true face, tell me your name, and then let's have a drink together and talk about life, how about it?"
"You ......" The figure turned around, looking at Wuji in surprise, and his voice was crisp, it turned out to be a young girl. "You know my ......"
"That's right, I knew it when you came in. Mowgli nodded. "I just can't figure out what you're trying to steal. Do you think I'm like a rich man?"
"Then did you deliberately sit for so long so that my waist and legs hurt and I couldn't move?"
"Not really, I sit for so long every day, sometimes it's normal to sit all night. Wuji spread out his hand and said casually: "It seems that you are not far from the beginning, not only is the breath control not perfect enough, but also the flexibility is not enough." ”
"Who said that?" the girl couldn't help but retort: "I've been in the industry for a year, I've never missed, I'm the best among the new disciples, and my jiu-jitsu is also the best practiced among the senior brothers, otherwise, how do you think I got in?"
As she spoke, she came down from the wall and easily made an iron bridge, her head coming out from under her crotch, and she looked at Mowgli proudly. It's just that she doesn't know what is painted on her face, it is pitch black, and even with Wuji's eyesight, she can only see the whites of her eyes and teeth.
"Didn't you just crawl in through the vent?" Wuji couldn't help but laugh, it was the first time he had seen a thief do so proudly.
"Uh...... You even know that?"
"Well, the crooked wooden bar, you straightened it when you left, or the innkeeper will make me pay for it. ”
"Uh......" The girl was speechless and frustrated. I thought that God didn't know it, but people already knew. However, she then rejoiced: "Can you let me go?"
"Of course, I don't have anything to lose, why should I keep you? It's not appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to live in a room, don't you say?"
"That's great, thank you. The girl stood up and turned to leave.
"Wait. Wuji stopped her and pointed to Lin Fei standing with a bow in the corner: "It's okay for you to disturb me, I haven't slept anyway, you let this brother of mine get up in the middle of the night, you can't just leave, right?"
"That'...... What do you want?" the girl rolled her eyes and looked at Mowgli vigilantly. "Although I am also a shadow gate, I am a shadow, not a flower shadow, and I don't do those things. ”
"What shadows, flower shadows?" Wuji was taken aback: "So you still have an organization?"
"Uh...... Don't you know?" the girl regretted and twitched her cheek slightly: "Make you self-righteous and make your mouth happy." ”
Wuji laughed out loud, and even Lin Fei couldn't hold back, he was amused by this thief girl.
Just when they were stunned, the girl suddenly moved, flashed behind Mowgli, wrapped her left arm around Mowgli's neck, and held a short knife in her right hand, which resisted Mowgli's waist. She leaned next to Wuji and chuckled proudly: "How is it, this girl is witty, right?"
Lin Fei changed color in shock and raised his bow, but he didn't dare to launch. The girl hid behind Wuji, even if he was an archer, he was not sure that he would shoot the girl without hurting Wuji, not to mention that the girl still had a knife in her hand.
Wuji waved his hand, signaling Lin Fei not to act rashly.
"Indeed, you are so witty, we two are like fools, you are playing all the way. Mowgli said half-truthfully. He and Lin Fei are both in a good realm, but they are obviously inexperienced, and when they are stunned, they are restrained by this witty thief girl, and they lose unjustly.
The girl giggled and dragged Mowgli towards the window. Obviously, she was planning to jump out of the window to escape, with her skills, as long as she jumped out of the window, even Lin Fei might not be able to keep up with her.
Wuji raised his hand, grabbed her arm with one hand, and twisted her little thumb with the other, twisting it gently.
The girl was in pain and cried out: "Let go, or I'll stab you." As he spoke, he increased the force on the short knife and pressed against Mowgli's waist.
Mowgli ignored her at all and continued to exert himself.
The girl's face changed color in pain, and she stabbed her fiercely. A glimmer of light flashed, and the short knife was blocked, and even the clothes could not be pierced, let alone the flesh.
The girl was stunned for a moment and looked down at the knife. Wuji didn't give her time, and with a little force, he twisted her arm and pressed her to the ground. Lin Fei hurriedly walked over, untied a bowstring, and quickly tied the girl's hands and feet together and threw them in the corner.
"Witty beautiful girl, have you ever thought it would end like this?" Wuji squatted in front of the girl and smiled slightly.
"You ......" the girl said and struggled twice, but she couldn't break free. She was tied back, her body arched back, her chest and abdomen were upright, and her posture was very sultry, which made her ashamed and angry, but she had no choice but to bite her lip and stare at Wuji hatefully.
"Now, can you tell us what a shadow is and what a shadow is? We're all countrymen, and we're new to the country, and if we make a mistake, it's a bit of a problem. ”
The corners of Wuji's mouth twitched, and he smiled evilly: "Since you have targeted me, you must also know that I have two giant attendants." They ......"
The girl's face suddenly changed, and after a moment of silence, she exhaled in frustration.
"Okay, I'll just say that. ”
