By the time Shi Jiu woke up, several hours had passed.

He stretched comfortably, and said to himself: "I feel comfortable after every sleep, this grinding disc soul forging method is indeed good, but this soul forging is really painful." ”

After living in the void for nearly a year, Shi Jiu spent most of his time cultivating, even when he discovered the island where the Purple Hades were located, and for a long time after that, he searched for the weak point of the ancient peerless great array that could enter the besieged island, he did not forget his own cultivation, including the cultivation of the grinding disc soul forging method. As for the cultivation of the grinding disc forging soul method, Shi Jiu would practice almost every other day, and now there should be at least a hundred times, although he was used to such a state of cultivation, but the unbearable pain he experienced every time he practiced the grinding disc forging soul method would make him feel afraid, so that every time he gritted his teeth and insisted.

Although the cultivation method of the grinding disc forging soul method is painful, the effect is extremely outstanding, even if there is no real reference, Shi Jiu can feel that his soul power should not be worse than that of ordinary human soul realm powerhouses, and may even exceed it in some aspects, which is also what makes him extremely satisfied.

After Shi Jiu got up, he directly pushed open the door and walked towards the outside of the house.

Five minutes later, he came to the front door exit of the main hall.

Before, he had already agreed to Elder Zifeng's proposal to use the teleportation array to teleport him to the plane battlefield, so there was no need to escape from here like when he first met Elder Zifeng and the others, but the heart of guarding against people was indispensable, Shi Jiu did not relax any vigilance, and while observing the surroundings, his divine sense also "casually" scanned around.

Because the teleportation array needed to be repaired, it would take several days, so he planned to walk around this Purple Maple City casually, and he had also received the tacit approval of Elder Purple Peak before.

After walking out of the main hall, Shi Jiu began to wander along the main road in the city.

Due to the cursed ice of the Purple Immortal Clan, except for a few people such as Elder Zifeng, the entire Purple Maple City and even the Void Island where the Purple Maple City was located could not see any living beings, so after wandering around for half an hour, Shi Jiu was completely disinterested, and planned to return to his residence, when a tall tower appeared at the end of the street in front of him, which immediately aroused his interest.

The tower was yellow-brown as a whole, with a total of nine floors, each with seven corners, similar to the Buddhist towers he had seen in his previous life, and it looked a little different in this Purple Maple City.

"This can't be a Buddhist tower, is it?" Shi Jiu had a conjecture in his heart, but he was quickly vetoed by himself.

This is the underworld, how can there be Buddhism in a past life? Moreover, he had never seen a similar tower exist on the Youlong Continent before, so it should not be related to Buddhism.

Although he denied the guess in his heart, Shi Jiu planned to go up and take a look to verify his guess, and then he walked to the front of the tower gate.

The door was unlocked, and with a gentle push from Shi Jiu, the door opened.

As you enter, there are only a few empty walls except for a stone staircase that spirals upward.

After Shi Jiu took a look, he stepped on the stone steps and walked all the way up.

"Nothing."

Every time he went up, he would go around the floor, and if he didn't find it, he would continue to go up to the top floor.

"Sure enough, it has nothing to do with Buddhism, but the scenery from the heights is good."

Standing on the top of the nine-story building, Shi Jiu looked around the outside world, and the whole picture of Purple Maple City was unobstructed, and the reverse chaos yin and yang heavenly array that enveloped the entire island above the sky was also clearly visible.

"It's a pity that if it hadn't been a disaster, it would have been beautiful here."

Shi Jiu didn't stay at the top of the tower for long, and then he descended the tower and prepared to return to his temporary residence.

But as soon as he stepped out of the tower, he heard a crisp and pleasant silver bell, and at the same time smelled a faint fragrance.

"Huh? Where did the ringtones come from? ”

The sudden appearance of the bell made him curious, the entire Purple Hades Clan was frozen, and there should be no other awakened people except for Elder Zifeng and the others.

"Wait, could it be her?" A young girl immediately appeared in Shi Jiu's mind.

At this time, he had stopped walking in the direction of the main hall, and then turned his head and involuntarily walked slowly in the direction where the bell came.

Beyond the tower, there is a forest in front of you, and through the trees you can faintly see a green meadow on the other side.

Shi Jiu didn't stop, and soon came to the woods, and by this time he could already see the movement in front of him.

On the grass in front of the woods, a graceful figure swayed gently in the air near the ground.

Although he could only see the back, Shi Jiu determined the identity of the other party at a glance, it was the girl who appeared in his mind, the sleeping girl who was "awakened" by the black spoon jade on his chest, and the girl who made him feel strange.

The girl was swinging, Qianqianyu held two hanging vine ropes in her hands, her long hair was shawl, and she was enjoying herself with a happy expression under the swing swing back and forth. Seeing this scene, Shi Jiu's heart was fluttering, and the previous inexplicable emotions came spontaneously again, and he unconsciously called out the girl's name.

"Zining."

After this shout, Shi Jiu himself was startled, and hurriedly wanted to find a tree to hide. But at this moment, the girl in front of her turned her head slightly and looked in his direction.

"Shi Jiu? Is that you? ”

Although it was a question, the girl obviously saw the face of the person who came.

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Shi Jiu knew that the other party had seen him, and he also called out his name, which made him both embarrassed and a little happy.

"Strange, what am I happy about?"

He no longer hid, and walked towards the girl in front of him, but the strange emotions in his heart were even better, and his heartbeat was a little faster.

At this time, the girl also stopped the swing, got up and stood up, and looked at the other party slowly approaching with a smile on her face.

As the girl turned around, Shi Jiu finally saw the other party's true face clearly, and then fell directly into "intoxication".

In the girl's boudoir before, although he had already seen the other party, but at that time the girl was in a frozen sleep, what he saw was a sleeping face with closed eyes, even if the black spoon jade "woke up" the girl, he only saw the other party's unfully awakened look, and then was taken out of the room by Elder Zisong.

And now it was completely different, the girl appeared in front of Shi Jiu completely alive, and that beautiful appearance coupled with a pleasant voice like heaven immediately made him sink.

"Hehe, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Shi Jiu's confused expression, the girl didn't mind and smiled sassy.

And this inquiry also woke Shi Jiu up from his intoxication.

"I'm sorry, but I was a little distracted, and I didn't know it...... That's it. Shi Jiu apologized, but in his heart he had already scolded himself fiercely.

If it's just a hazy teenager, it's okay to be attracted and addicted to a beautiful girl like a fairy. But he is not what he used to be, not only is his soul power strong, but his willpower is also extremely amazing, not how much he loses to the soul realm powerhouse, but even so, he was "captured" by the other party's beauty at a glance, which is really unreasonable and abnormal.

"Could it be that I like her?" This thought suddenly popped into Shi Jiu's heart.

And as soon as this idea came out, it immediately occupied his mind, and it did not fade in the slightest.

No way! Kim Yuna is also beautiful and seductive, I didn't have that idea, and now how can I just like her at first sight? It must have been me in the Void for too long for me to feel like this. Shi Jiu comforted himself in his heart and vetoed the idea just now, but no matter how he denied it, the girl's appearance had been deeply imprinted in the depths of his heart.

"Really?"

The girl's voice sounded again, and Shi Jiu nodded subconsciously, but immediately shook his head again. He was embarrassed by his inconsistent behavior.

Seeing this, the girl smiled angelically, and then motioned for the other party to come closer.

Seeing the girl's gesture of approaching, Shi Jiu nodded, but did not step forward immediately, but took a deep breath, condensed his breath, and then stepped forward.

When he walked by the woman's side, he spoke first: "You are awake, why don't you rest more in the room?" ”

This seemingly concerned inquiry is actually his embarrassment and "impoliteness" before covering up himself, and at the same time, it is also relieving his nervous mood and the strangeness of his heartbeat.

"I've been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to walk anymore." Different from Shi Jiu's strong pretense of calmness, the girl seemed very easy-going, and she showed a different kind of beauty in her conversation, which also made Shi Jiu feel like a spring breeze, and was stunned again.

"Maybe the elders have told you my name before, but I think I'll have to introduce myself." At this time, the girl was slightly solemn, "My name is Zining, thank you for waking me up before." ”

After speaking, the girl Zining generously stretched out her hand towards Shi Jiu.

Seeing the other party's outstretched right hand, Shi Jiu also stretched out his right hand, and then the hands of the two young people held together, and then immediately separated.

This process was very short, less than a breath, but at the moment of holding it, Shi Jiu felt that time had slowed down at this moment, and the warm feeling coming from the other party's slender jade hand made him feel an inexplicable warmth, and he didn't want to let go, but fortunately, his reason was still there, and he let go, but he was a little lost in his heart.

"Purple girl, you are here, can the elders rest assured?"

"Don't call me Purple Girl, just call me Purple Ning. In addition, this is Purple Maple City, no one else dares to come here, and of course no one else can come here. ”

Speaking of this, Zi Ning was slightly lonely.

Since she woke up, the elders told themselves what had happened to her from her slumber, and she had known the misfortune that had befallen her people, and although she was angry and unwilling, the consequences had already appeared, and she could not change them, so she had no choice but to accept them.

On the other side, seeing the girl's lonely expression, Shi Jiu unconsciously felt a burst of heartache. He wanted to be comforted, but he didn't know what to say.

After a brief silence, the other party spoke first.

"This used to be the quietest place in Purple Maple City, and it was also my favorite place to visit." With that, Zi Ning sat down again and returned to the swing.

"Can you push it for me?"

A simple sentence really shocked Shi Jiu behind him.

As a monk who is determined to achieve something along the way of cultivation, he has encountered many dangerous moments, and he has also seen extremely powerful people, but every time he has successfully broken through, which also gives him considerable confidence, but now a beautiful girl asked him to help push it, but he was overwhelmed and stunned in place.

At this moment, his heart was struggling fiercely, and he wanted to step forward to push it, but he was worried and didn't dare to take a step forward.

"What? Don't want to? But this is the first time I've asked a guy for help. Seeing that there was no movement behind her, the girl sitting on the swing turned her head and asked.

"Of course I do, it's just ......" Shi Jiu replied a little stunned, his expression was extremely unnatural.

"Are you worried about the difference between men and women? Hehe, I didn't expect you to be quite innocent. Seeing Shi Jiu's embarrassed appearance, the girl smiled, and then continued: "Don't worry, I don't mind. ”

After hearing the other party say this, Shi Jiu finally strengthened his courage, stepped forward in three steps and came behind the girl, and then carefully put his hands flat on the other party's back, and then gently pushed, and the other party sat on the swing and swung forward.
