Chapter 18 Success is like falling into an ice cave
The young man's idea may still be able to find a way to convince, but to reverse an old man's idea, Meng Zhou said that there is really nothing he can do.
Old stubborn, old stubborn, not in vain.
He didn't know what Granny Bai was suffering about, and he didn't know what entanglements and secrets there were between that Bai Zhi and the pair of mothers-in-law surnamed Bai.
The only thing he was sure of was that if he wanted to reverse Granny Bai's attitude, he was really powerless.
After leaving the grocery store, Meng Zhou did not go back to the hostel directly, but went to the water area to make a big circle.
By the time he came back from the other direction, he had already changed back to his long and clear appearance, and he had changed back into his original clothes.
Back in the hostel, Meng Zhou was practicing martial arts and pondering this matter in his heart.
Although Granny Bai had nowhere to do it, Meng Zhou didn't give up completely, anyway, he paid for a month's house here, and now it's not a third of it.
Meng Zhou had a new idea in his heart.
"Well, it's good to go outside every day, and it will be regarded as cultivating thousands of miles of divine travel."
Since coming to Baiyue Bay, the cultivation of Wanli Shenxing has come to a standstill, and today I went outside for two big circles, and only then did I have another 40 years of experience.
Then, Meng Zhou began today's cultivation.
Although it took a lot of time to come and go, he also canceled the teahouse check-in every afternoon.
In addition, after cultivating to the fourth level of Qi training, the mana was more abundant, and the cultivation of the other three martial arts except for the Phantom Walking Dragon was not affected in the slightest.
The efficiency has even been improved, and the daily gain experience is +60. On the contrary, it is the Phantom Step Dragon Daily Harvest Experience Halved, and it has become a day +30.
The next day, Meng Zhou went out early, just like yesterday.
Treading water left Baiyue Bay, surrounded by a vast body of water, and there was no one else except himself.
His body shape began to change, and the bones around his body were only slightly adjusted, and the whole person was more than ten centimeters shorter.
The muscular membrane also moved and adjusted slightly, becoming burly and sturdy, and the previous image of long and clear skin was completely two people.
Then, Meng Zhou rearranged his hair and changed his clothes.
Finally, he reached out and gently stroked his chin, and the beard, which had been firmly rooted in the pores, had detached from his chin.
Meng Zhou took out a silk scarf and carefully wrapped it in his arms.
When he reverts to his original appearance, these beards will still have to be put back on.
As for the fact that the beard can be flexibly "disassembled", it is a piece of cake for him, who can control the state of his muscles and skin to a large extent.
At this moment, Meng Zhou had already traveled from the water area to the water area in front of the Moon Bay Beach, stepped on this delicate white sand beach again, and found a hidden and open place to cultivate quietly.
The cultivation of the Ten Thousand Miles Divine Movement required a large enough open space, and he couldn't use it in the room at all, so he simply moved around the graffiti stone wall from a distance.
When it was getting late and the sun was setting in the west, he changed back to another image and returned to the hostel.
On the second and third days, he did the same.
On the fourth day, it was still the same.
In the afternoon, the three martial arts of fighting left and right, thousand hands, and rain and wind sword surpassed the thousands of miles of divine travel, and then came to the top, and successively promoted from master to grandmaster.
Meng Zhou thought that today would be the same as a few days before, and it was even possible that Bai Ya had been grounded by Granny Bai, but he was not impatient, anyway, his mentality was also very open, it was good to be able to succeed, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.
Even so, this trip is not a wasted effort, at least, after solving this mystery, he will not have any more pimples in his heart.
At this moment, Meng Zhou's eyes lit up, and a thin figure appeared in the distance, staying in the sand where she had stayed last time.
She didn't sit down to weave grass as he thought, but faced the stone wall, rubbing her fingers on the stone wall, as if she was tracing something.
After a long time, she sat down and buried herself in weaving.
When a lifelike straw grasshopper was born between her ten fingers, her mind returned to complete concentration, and she was suddenly startled.
Because she saw a pair of big feet and a pair of legs as strong as pillars, she squinted her eyes and looked up, and finally saw clearly that the person in front of her was Uncle Qiang, who came to the door with her aunt's token a few days ago, but had a big quarrel with her mother-in-law.
Seeing him suddenly appear here, she thought of many possibilities in her mind, and each of them scared her to the core.
She opened her mouth and stumbled and shouted, "Big ...... Uncle ...... Uncle, you ...... How are you in ...... In this. ”
Meng Zhou said: "Do you want to become a little stammer?" Straightened his tongue and spoke. ”
Bai Ya closed her mouth.
"I'm not going to eat you again, what are you so afraid of?"
Meng Zhou's attitude made Bai Ya's emotions gradually calm down, but looking at his expression, he was still timid.
Meng Zhou said: "Bai Zhi is your aunt?" ”
Bai Ya kept her mouth shut, and at this time, she seemed to have finally remembered her mother-in-law's advice.
Meng Zhou ignored it and continued:
"You say, isn't it immoral for this Bai Zhi to make a remnant exercise for people to cultivate, so that people have no hope of building a foundation in this life?
Isn't this behavior shameful? Should you be cursed and spurned? ”
Bai Ya's mouth was still tightly closed, but her wide eyes were already filled with tears, as if she was going to be unable to hold back and cry down in the next moment.
It's fun to bully a little girl.
Meng Zhou looked at the surrounding sand, and suddenly said, "I have an idea, let's pile up a white angelica here, and then spit on her, cursing her for not ......"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Ya's tears suddenly poured out like a flood of the embankment, and she shouted, "Don't! ”
Because he was so emotional, this shout was broken.
"Uncle, don't, don't curse her, please don't do this......"
"I practiced her exercises, there is no hope of building a foundation, she hurt me so badly, I cursed her what's wrong, she is in front of my eyes, and I also curse her to be right!"
"She didn't mean ......"
"She made it hopeless for me to build a foundation."
She ...... She's a nice person......"
"She made it hopeless for me to build a foundation."
No matter how Baiya defended, Meng Zhou forced her to the edge of the cliff step by step with just one sentence.
Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and wiped it her face, she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, don't say it." Tomorrow...... Come back here tomorrow! ”
Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait here tomorrow!" ”
Bai Ya turned and walked away, her steps firm, her fists clenched, like a warrior who was about to go into danger alone.
Looking at her distant back, Meng Zhou commented to himself in his heart: "I'm really a big villain." ”
At this moment, I coincide with the image of a bad boy who instigates children to go home and steal money to play games.
Time flashed, and it was the next afternoon.
Bai Ya bowed slightly and trotted from a distance. It seemed that in this way she would be able to make her presence less and more hidden.
She came to Meng Zhou and handed over a yellowed ancient book to Meng Zhou, "Water Nourishing and Moisturizing the Body".
"Here you go, in the future, you can't curse her anymore and speak ill of her, otherwise, it's your fault!"
With that, she was about to leave without looking back.
"That's it? Come back! Meng Zhou shouted and directly froze her in place.
Just as she was at a loss for what to do, a heavy bag was stuffed into her hand.
"Who do you think of me? Take it! ”
"What?" She muttered softly.
"You won't see for yourself, will you?"
She pulled the rope at the mouth of the bag, looked down and looked inside, a bag full of spirit stones, she was a little girl, who had ever seen such a huge sum of money, and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
"There are four medium-grade spirit stones and four hundred low-grade spirit stones in it, although this kind of exercise is sold for thousands of low-grade spirit stones in Duobaolou, but I have already spent a lot of money when I bought the water cultivation technique, and together not only did not take advantage of you, but also lost."
Of course, this is only a reason, and another reason is that he wants to keep some spirit stones for backup.
"Oh." Bai Ya didn't know how to refuse, so she held the spirit stone bag and responded stupidly, "Then can I go?" ”
Meng Zhou looked at the spirit stone in her hand and said, "Just leave like this?" You don't want to walk back alive, do you? ”
Meng Zhou was also a little helpless, if only there were more middle-grade spirit stones, it would not be so cumbersome, hundreds of lower-grade spirit stones were handed over to a little girl, and they were all second, and more importantly, it was not very safe.
Bai Ya reacted, and quickly put the spirit stone bag into her arms and hid it.
Seeing this scene, Meng Zhou suddenly remembered another thing.
"White girl."
"Huh?" The white girl who hid the spirit stone bag in her arms looked at him again, as if asking, Uncle, what else is going on?
Meng Zhou said in a deep voice: "When you go back, remember to remind your mother-in-law and let her move as soon as possible." ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"Little girl, do you know what it means to be out of business?"
Bai Ya shook her head blankly.
After a long time, the confusion on her face turned to panic.
Seeing this, Meng Zhou felt a little unbearable in his heart. But quietly remind, it is the limit of his ability, and he has no power to mix anything. What's more, with Granny Bai's strange temper, people may not receive this love.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead, pay attention to safety on the road." ”
With that, Meng Zhou turned around and left.
"Uncle."
"Huh?" Meng Zhou turned to look at her.
"You're a good guy!" Bai Ya said seriously.
Meng Zhou laughed, if she was a few years older, her words would make him depressed for at least half a year.
Bai Ya reached into his arms, took out an object, and placed it in the palm of his hand.
Meng Zhou looked at the straw grasshopper in his palm in surprise as if it was about to jump away at any time.
"Give it to me?"
"Well, for you!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Meng Zhou looked carefully at it from all angles, and then took it into his arms and thanked her solemnly.
He turned again to leave.
"Uncle."
"Huh?"
Meng Zhou stopped and turned around again, and said in his heart, this girl won't be taking revenge on me, after all, she made her cry so badly yesterday.
"Are you the uncle who asked me for directions that day?" She said suddenly.
When Meng Zhou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't deny it, but asked, "How do you see it?" ”
"Because you all covet the grasshoppers I made, the other adults won't even look at them more."
"Uh......" her explanation made Meng Zhou speechless.
He thought that there was some fatal flaw in his disguised breath, and he actually let a little girl peek into the suspicions, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.
She said well, she does have some cravings for grasshoppers, more accurately, not only grasshoppers, but also any delicate hand-knitted fabrics, he is very greedy, which is an obsession brought out from his childhood in his previous life.
His handiwork is superb, but there are peers who can use local materials to weave pistols, spears, cats and dogs and other toys from some common things, for which he is really envious to death, even after adulthood, this envy is still undiminished.
As an artisanal waste, he was convinced that he would never be able to do what others could do in a few years in his life.
After a world, I saw a child with similar talents and even more powerful, and he was naturally reminded of relevant memories, and he really didn't pay attention to this aspect, so he never thought that this was inadvertently leaking the bottom.
Seeing that he was stunned in place with a "uh", Bai Ya showed a triumphant smile, and really turned around and ran.
……
Bai Ya trotted all the way back to Gujing Street, and the sky was already dark.
The grocery store was also closed, only a small side door was ajar, and when she saw this, her heart tightened and she crept in.
After only two steps, a cold voice sounded in the room:
"Girl, you really have hard wings, not only do you dare to lie, but you also learn to steal!"
Bai Ya was frightened, slowly turned to the direction where the voice came from, put her feet together, and stood up straight, looking like an honest child waiting to be trained.
"Mother-in-law." She shouted.
"Come here!" Granny Bai said.
Bai Ya walked over in small steps.
"Get on your knees!"
The white girl knelt on the ground with a puff.
Granny Bai lay on the wicker chair, squinting, as if she was asleep.
Bai Ya knew that according to her mother-in-law's temper, she would not say a word until she knelt until she was satisfied.
But when she thought of her uncle's reminder just now, she couldn't care so much, and hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, I have something important to tell you!" ”
"Shut up, forgot the rules? Even if there is a big thing, I will wait until I am punished! Granny Bai said coldly.
"It's really important, it's a matter of life and death!" Bai Ya said hurriedly, her face full of anxiety.
Granny Bai didn't continue to speak coldly, and lay there motionless, as if she had been completely gag.
After a long time, she said in a cold tone and in a playful tone:
"Then tell me what is the matter of life and death.
Is the sky falling, or is White Moon Bay sinking? ”
"Huh?" Her words made Bai Ya stunned, and her little brain was almost confused, and she didn't know how to answer.
Granny Bai continued: "You stole the exercises, did you give it to the person who came to the door that day? ”
"Hmm."
"Then, he used that big news about our life and death to take this exercise from you?"
"Huh?"
"Do you have a brain, such a simple ......"
Granny Bai was about to open her mouth to reprimand, but was interrupted by a "snap" at her feet.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a spirit stone bag thrown on the ground, and hundreds of spirit stones were scattered on the ground.
"Mother-in-law, you guessed wrong, the uncle bought it with Hua Lingshi."
Bai Ya didn't dare to delay, and she didn't have the idea of "taking advantage of the victory" to her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly told Meng Zhou's reminder about "eating out of households".
Granny Bai, who originally had a somewhat solemn posture after seeing the spirit stone, relaxed again, and said, "I really think there is some clever opinion." ”
Bai Ya continued:
"Uncle said, you must think that you have something to hide, and your strength is far stronger than letting everyone see, so you have no fear.
But he said that unless your strength is strong enough to subdue the entire White Moon Bay, otherwise, you can't change our dangerous situation. ”
"Uncle said, mother-in-law, you have hidden some strength, it doesn't matter at all.
The important thing is that everyone thinks that you only have five levels of Qi training, and that you are aging fast. ”
Granny Bai couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and even wanted to ridicule it again.
But soon, she vaguely realized something, and pondered more carefully for a while.
Suddenly, it was like falling into an ice cave.
