After separating from Wang Ye and them, Zhou Xingyu returned to the valley alone.

Time passed, and at this time, three and a half years have passed unconsciously since Zhou Xingyu joined the Finger Xuanmen, looking back on this time, Zhou Xingyu feels that he has experienced a lot, and it seems that he has not experienced anything when he looks back carefully, which is very contradictory.

In the Rejuvenation Valley, Zhou Xingyu stood beside the stream, looking around, the originally smooth path, because no one had cleaned it for a long time, had been full of fallen leaves, and the stubborn weeds in the middle of the stone slabs broke through the thick bluestone and grew tenaciously on it.

With his memory, Zhou Xingyu returned to the hut where he lived.

I thought that what caught my eyes was a dilapidated scene, but I didn't expect that there was no change in appearance, but when Zhou Xingyu was full of questions, a person came out of the back of the house.

Looking at the gray-faced man in front of him, Zhou Xingyu's eyes flashed with strangeness, and he asked, "Senior Brother Yu, why are you here?" ”

This person is Deacon Yu who arranged a place for him to live when Zhou Xingyu entered and led him to participate in the trial.

I saw that his face was covered with sweat, mixed with dust flowing down, his clothes were punctured by unknown weeds, and his shoes were covered with yellow mud.

Seeing the other party's sloppy appearance, Zhou Xingyu didn't have to think about it to know that the reason why the house looked intact must be the credit of the other party.

Hearing the voice, Deacon Yu hurriedly raised his eyes, and the moment he saw Zhou Xingyu, his face showed surprise, as if he had seen a savior, and the farm tool in his hand fell to the ground instantly.

"Senior Brother Zhou, you're finally back, if you don't come back, Senior Brother, I won't be able to hold on......"

In the deacon's confession, Zhou Xingyu finally knew why the other party was here, and it was like tears when he said it.

Half a year ago, after knowing that Zhou Xingyu was going to go on a mission with him, Wang Ye found Deacon Yu as soon as possible, and didn't say anything, just asked him to help him clean up the house during Zhou Xingyu's absence.

How do you know that Zhou Xingyu has been gone for half a year, he has a lot of things, and the Rejuvenation Valley is far away from where he works, and it is hard for him to run two ends every day. These days, he thought that the dim days would continue forever, but he didn't expect Zhou Xingyu to come back, which made him not surprised.

Hearing what Deacon Yu said, Zhou Xingyu said apologetically: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I've troubled you during this time, and I didn't expect it to take so long to carry out the task for the first time." ”

After some thanks, Zhou Xingyu sent away Deacon Yu, who was kind enough to help clean the courtyard, carried a wooden bucket to the stream to fetch water, and then began to clean, because Li Qingtai and Li Tong gave him the key when they left, so he even cleaned the house of the two, and after doing this, it was already late.

Back in the house, Zhou Xingyu had time to open the package he brought back from Wuyang Town.

He first opened the package Xu Kun gave him, and inside was a thick stack of silver tickets, each with a face value of one thousand taels, and there were one hundred and fifty tickets, even if he was used to seeing life and death, and had seen the world, when he saw the big stack of silver tickets in front of him, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

Since he was a child, he has never even seen ten taels of silver, but there are 150,000 taels in front of him.

After a long while, Zhou Xingyu came back to his senses.

"This time it's financial freedom!"

With a happy smile on his face, Zhou Xingyu carefully took out a solid wood box from under the bed, and then took out a delicate box from the box, and cautiously put the silver tickets into the box one by one.

The moment the box was closed, the heart he had been carrying was completely relaxed.

"Whew! Looks like I still don't have enough concentration. ”

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Xingyu smiled self-deprecatingly.

In fact, I don't blame him, in the mirror country, one tael of silver is worth a thousand copper dollars, that is, consistently, a copper plate can buy a big steamed bun, and an adult generally eats two a day, two taels of silver, enough for ordinary people to live for a year, that is to say, one thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to use for five hundred years, ten lifetimes.

Suddenly seeing so much money, except for those who stand at the top of money, I believe that whoever comes is the same as him.

This is also the reason why when the Zhang family's treasure was discovered, everyone had the idea of taking it for themselves, it was too much money and the night was too beautiful.

The matter of money has been dealt with, and Zhou Xingyu found out that there was still something in the package Xu Kun gave him.

"What is this?"

Taking out a small box from the package, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help but be stunned.

The box was unlocked, and Zhou Xingyu opened it lightly and found that the contents were wrapped in a yellow satin.

He took out the silk and took out the contents.

This is an all-yellow bell, what it is made of Zhou Xingyu is not clear.

The bell is about one palm high, the diameter is about the same width as the palm of an adult's hand, and it has a handle and a tongue in the bell.

The upper end of the bell handle is in the shape of a "mountain". In the classics related to Taoism, this thing is also called the emperor bell, and the tinkling sound of the emperor bell is named.

The outer surface of the bell is a row of dense words, Zhou Xingyu carefully observed for a moment, and found that it was a piece of scripture, and there were some mysterious runes engraved next to the scripture, what was the specific effect, due to limited knowledge, he didn't know.

On the inner wall of the bell is a small poem:

Silent calendar curtain late at night, sleep back to the wall bell.

Where has the wind and rain been, and the light moon and clouds have not yet woken up.

There is already the sound of autumn with the falling leaves, and the coolness is accompanied by fireflies.

The Ming Dynasty quasi-proposed Nanxuan Wang, washing out the distant mountains.

Next to the poem is the word Ji Ye.

"Night? Could it be the name of this bell? What's the use of this thing Brother Xu giving me? ”

Looking at the bell in his hand, Zhou Xingyu shook it slightly, and a pleasant bell rang, like a morning bell at dusk, Zhou Xingyu's originally irritable mood calmed down instantly.

"Looks like a good thing!"

After feeling the wonderful use of the bell, Zhou Xingyu's face showed a smile, and he carefully put the bell back into the box, and then put it in the wooden box.

With this bell, when you cultivate in the future, you don't have to worry about going crazy because of your injustice.

The effect of Aoki Jue is not great, but the requirements for cultivation are not low, requiring cultivators to maintain inner tranquility and not have the slightest distraction, otherwise they will have to re-enter the meditation.

Zhou Xingyu has suffered more than once in this regard, and now that he has this bell, his cultivation in the future will definitely be much easier.

After handling the package Xu Kun gave him, Zhou Xingyu's eyes looked at the box that Master Tianxuan had given him.

"It can't be some magic cheat, right? I'm so excited! ”

He opened the box with joy, but the expression on his face froze instantly.

"It's actually a jade pendant, is it a special peace charm?"

Seeing the white and flawless square jade pendant in front of him, as well as the patterns on it, thinking of the identity of the Venerable Tianxuan, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help but guess in his heart.

After Zhou Xingyu looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything, he put him back in the box, and then put it in the box as well.

"When I have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, I will ask the Venerable Master about the usefulness of this thing."

Without thinking about it, Zhou Xingyu directly took the last thing in front of him.

……

The next day, Zhou Xingyu got up early in the morning, looking at the empty valley, he always felt that something was missing.

"I don't know when the senior brother and the master will come back, and when the senior brother is not there, I always feel like something is missing in the valley."

Retracting his slightly divergent thoughts, Zhou Xingyu picked up the broom on the side, before Deacon Yu only helped clean the vicinity of the bamboo house, and the rest of the valley had not been cleaned for half a year, and today he was busy.

The path leading to the outside of the valley should be uprooted from weeds, the fallen leaves should be burned, the medicine fields should be tidied up, there are bamboo forests, and stone chambers should be tidied up......

Thinking of a series of tasks, Zhou Xingyu couldn't help but have a little headache.

Finally lived slowly for a morning, and finally finished the last simple treatment, Zhou Xingyu was lying on the lawn, only feeling sore, he didn't even want to lift his fingers, thinking that he had money anyway, maybe he should find a servant to help with these chores.

Fortunately, Aoki had miraculous effects in recovering his physical strength, and it didn't take long for him to feel that he had regained his strength.

When he came to the house, he simply freshened up, and changed into clean and tidy clothes, Zhou Xingyu directly picked up the two boxes and walked towards the secret room.

Inserted a special key with the thickness of a baby's arm in an inconspicuous place outside the secret room, and after a violent sound, the stone door opened, Zhou Xingyu pulled out the key, picked up the box and walked in.

Looking at the futon placed in the middle of the secret room, as well as the incense burner in front of the futon, Zhou Xingyu walked straight over, picked up a special soothing incense made by Li Qingtai from the side, lit it and put it into the incense burner.

The tranquilizing incense was specially prepared for him by Li Qingtai, and many precious medicinal materials were used in it, which had the wonderful use of calming the mind, soothing emotions, and nourishing the body and mind, and Zhou Xingyu was reluctant to use it in normal times.

I'm going to try it today and see if I can break through to the fourth layer of Aoki Duel.

This mission, although he didn't have time to cultivate well, but what he saw and heard along the way, he gained a lot, this experience can be regarded as providing food for his cultivation, when he returned to Yuntai Mountain yesterday, he felt that he should be able to break through the bottleneck of the fourth layer, but there are too many chores to deal with, so he didn't retreat immediately, and now the basic thing that should be dealt with is handled, it's time to practice well.

He opened a box, took out the contents of it, and officially gave it to him by Xu Kun, a bell named Ji Ye.

He sniffed gently in his nose, and the pleasant ringing sound from the night bell sounded in his ears, and at this moment it seemed that all his troubles had left him.

With a peaceful state of mind at the moment, calm down, start meditating on the futon, absorb the free heaven and earth energy, the qi in the body is like a clear stream flowing through the mountains, gushing out of the mud pills, all the way through the twelve-story building, flowing through the perineum, suddenly lifting, and instantly through the back and spine around the spine to the top of the head Parkway. The airflow has been in Parkway for a long time.

Burst~

A voice that didn't exist sounded in Zhou Xingyu's mind, like the sun clashing with the heavy barriers between the forests, shining on the surface; It was as if a breeze was blowing, blowing away all the fog.

The airflow instantly returns from Parkway to the mud pill.

Zhou Xingyu opened his eyes, a starlight shot out of his eyes, his eyes looked around, I don't know if it was an illusion, the world in his eyes seemed to be different from before.

Aoki broke through the bottleneck of the third layer and reached the fourth layer!

Surprisingly smooth!
