Question: Master Huang is still the same Master Huang, just a stand-in, why did the situation suddenly become out of control?

Answer: It doesn't matter if Master Huang is dead or not, whether he is really a stand-in or not. The important thing is that at the moment when everyone thinks he is dead, even if he is alive, he is still a dead man.

In the same way, when everyone thinks you are a bully, someone will jump out and bully you.

Meng Zhou didn't know if Granny Bai knew this truth, and it was right to remind her.

Then, Meng Zhou returned to the hostel as quickly as possible, and took out the "Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Formula" from his arms, which he had spent a lot of effort to get.

When Bai Ya handed it over to him, Meng Zhou took a cursory look at it, and judging from his perspective of cultivating the water cultivation recipe to the level of Dacheng, this was indeed a book that had the same core concept as the water cultivation recipe, but it was more complete and thorough than it in terms of interpretation.

Now, he looked more carefully, carefully considered the words, and while looking at the exercises in his hands, he also corroborated each other with the water cultivation formula.

Because there is a foundation for cultivating to the fullest, this "Water Nourishing Formula" is not difficult to read.

"The key point of water nourishment and nourishment is that one is in water nourishment, and the other is in moisturizing the body.

Water cultivation focuses on teaching people how to shape the mana of this quality, while body moisturizing focuses on how to use this mana to heal and nourish oneself. ”

If the former is regarded as teaching people to make money, the latter is teaching people to spend money, and before, he seemed to be "spending money", but it was similar to using it as a physical weapon, and he almost didn't directly pick up the money and smash it on people's heads.

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart.

"Before, my use of mana was really too rough.

Except for the natural transformation of the body every time the exercise breaks through, at other times, this main technique of warmth and healing almost does not play its due role, but only regards it as a special energy to increase the power of the martial arts.

In fact, whether it is the water nourishment formula or the water nourishment and body nourishment formula, its strengths are not in the field of combat. ”

After reading it carefully, the entire "Water Nourishing Formula" has been comprehended.

Then Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly operating the mana of the water cultivation technique, and the few remaining doubts were like ice cubes thrown into a river at room temperature, dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the slow operation of this water cultivation method mana over and over again, he did not deliberately control it, and its route naturally changed, shifting in the direction of the water cultivation body cultivation method.

It's like he's walking on a road and there's a turn in front of him, and he doesn't consciously let his mind control his body and his steps, but when he approaches this bend, his body has naturally made the most appropriate adjustments.

By the time the slow-moving mana around him stopped again, the exercises for personal information had changed significantly.

Previously, this information was "Water Cultivation Recipe: 364/400", and it was only a stone's throw away from another breakthrough, but now, this information has become "Water Cultivation Recipe: 189/600".

His perception of the exercises has not been reduced in any way, and even when it is seamless, there are many new insights in his heart.

Just like the water in a small cup is transferred to a large cup, the amount of water does not change, but the water level decreases a lot.

And with the change of the fundamental exercises, the kind of beautiful feelings that can only be experienced every time the level of the exercises break through are always infiltrated in the body.

Although the feeling is not so strong, it keeps his body in a state of extreme comfort and his spirit in a state of extreme relaxation.

Meng Zhou felt that his body was like a dry and barren earth, and the mana of the water nourishing body was like a continuous rain, constantly moisturizing and warming his body, as if he wanted to push this body back to the rich and fertile state that it once had been full of vitality and nurturing all things.

Then, Meng Zhou suspended the cultivation of the fundamental exercises and began today's martial arts cultivation.

When he finished, the Phantom Dragon was stuck at "Grandmaster: 610/640".

"Tomorrow, tomorrow this martial art will be complete."

With this in mind, Meng Zhou sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, and began to formally cultivate the water nourishing technique for the first time.

"Hey, it's a lot better."

When the night's practice was over, one of the exercises became "Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Formula: 209/600", and it was increased from only 16 weeks a day to 20 days.

However, the cultivation progress has been increased from "14/100 on the fourth level of Qi training" to "19/100", an increase of five points.

"Although they are all at the level of Dacheng, it takes six weeks to increase the progress of the water cultivation formula, while the water cultivation formula only needs four weeks to add a little progress."

Although there are not many changes in one specific point, the advantages of all aspects add up, and it has nearly doubled his cultivation efficiency.

In the short term, this is not very obvious, and the longer the time, the greater the disparity.

Moreover, there was a more important change, Meng Zhou felt the vitality surging in his body, looking at the lifespan item in his personal information, the upper limit of life changed from 66 years old to 67 years old, an increase of one year, this was the first time that this kind of change had occurred in ordinary cultivation.

Previously, the increase in the upper limit of life only occurred when the fundamental exercises were raised or the cultivation level was raised.

"The upper limit of a normal Qi cultivator's life expectancy is between 120 and 160 years old, and this is basically determined by each person's body and the exercises they are cultivating.

My body has been hollowed out of my physical potential and vitality by the Blood Demon Skill, and my upper limit of life is much lower than that of a normal Qi cultivator.

The best thing about hydration is the warmth and healing of the body, and as my body slowly recovers, it is reflected in the data, which is the slow increase in the upper limit of life.

Previously, this kind of change only occurred at the node of water cultivation or cultivation improvement.

Now, with the completion of the fundamental exercises, this will no longer be limited to the exercises or the improvement nodes of cultivation. ”

The trip was successfully completed and the results were very satisfying.

With a happy mood, Meng Zhou left the room and came to the first floor to order a spiritual breakfast.

As he was waiting in his seat, he suddenly saw the owner across the street open the door, look to the left and look forward, and then rushed out of the room.

At the same time, there was more movement coming from the streets.

Meng Zhou's heart sank, and the direction of his gaze happened to be the direction of Bai Po's grocery store.

Is it a coincidence?

Meng Zhou flashed out of the room, turned around and looked over, only to see seven or eight people gathered at the door of Granny Bai's grocery store, each of them looking into the house.

Meng Zhou suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he came to the door of the grocery store in a flash, and also looked inside the house through the small door.

The door of the grocery store was closed, and only a small door opened on the door was half-covered, and nearly ten heads were looking in around the small door frame.

Next to him, a person who had only come one step ahead of him and didn't know anything about the situation asked the first comer curiously:

"What are you looking at, is there anything wrong?"

"If you want to say something wrong, isn't it obvious, if it is a normal situation, we have so many people watching, wouldn't Granny Bai start scolding a long time ago?"

"Uh...... That's right, too. ”

"Moreover, when I got up this morning, I saw that the door of her house was ajar like this, and I was surprised that Granny Bai had never been in the habit of getting up early.

Moreover, half an hour has passed, and the little door is still open, but the door is still open.

Isn't that weird enough? ”

"Well, that makes sense!"

The latecomer nodded again and again, and asked in a low voice, "Then what are we going to do now?" ”

The first comer turned his head and swept over the crowd of neighbors, and deliberately took a second look at Meng Zhou, an outsider who had entered the mess.

But that's about it.

He said, "I want to go in and have a look, but I was alone when I first found out that this place was strange, and if I went in like this, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to tell what would happen then." ”

Several latecomers suddenly let out a sigh and went directly to the grocery store with him.

Meng Zhou also silently followed behind everyone.

The space inside the grocery store is not large, and when you enter through the small door, you can see the situation in the house at a glance.

Meng Zhou found that everyone in front of him seemed to have been subjected to a collective immobilization technique, and they all stood still, motionless.

Meng Zhou had come to the store once, and that direction was the direction in which Granny Bai put the rattan chair.

Meng Zhou had a bad premonition in his heart, moved to the side, and finally saw a scene that almost made his heart beat in the crack.

Granny Bai lay straight on the rattan chair, her cloudy eyes were wide open, her mouth was slightly open, and the expression on her face was frozen in the moment of fear.

Apparently has been dead for a long time.

And in this crack, on the ground next to the rattan chair, Meng Zhou could still see a little withered yellow color, just like the grass in spring has not yet fully grown, and it has ended in the ruthless late autumn and cold winter.

At this moment, Meng Zhou only felt that his heart was grabbed fiercely.

At this moment, the people in front of them who seemed to have been immobilized suddenly moved.

The body is agile and fast, like a vicious dog pounced.

Their target was neither Bai Granny nor Bai Ya, but the hundreds of spirit stones scattered all over the place.

Seeing this spirit stone and the competition with everyone, Meng Zhou's emotions couldn't help but twitch again.

He could basically be sure that these spirit stones were the ones that he personally stuffed into Bai Ya's hands yesterday.

In order to compete for the spirit stone, everyone has already performed their own stunts, except for the tacit understanding that they did not use large power and large-scale means, they all exerted their respective abilities to the extreme.

And when they were scrambling, their eyes were still glancing at Meng Zhou, who was approaching step by step, and they were all warning him with their eyes that as long as he, an outsider, dared to participate, he would be targeted by everyone.

Meng Zhou withstood the pressure of several people's eyes, took a few steps forward, came to the white girl who fell to the ground, squatted down, and saw her wide eyes again.

It's just that the once brilliant and agile has become as dull as death.

This is also normal, their owners are dead, how can they still be glorious?

Bai Ya's expression froze in the moment of confusion and confusion.

Meng Zhou, who was squatting down, looked at her for a moment, and reached out to gently cover her face.

He also cursed on his lips: "What murderer is so inhumane, even the little girl will not let go!" ”

And with his curse, the gaze that stayed on him quickly decreased, and he had a basic judgment about him, a rotten good person who liked to stand out for irrelevant things.

On the other side, as soon as Meng Zhou's palm covered Bai Ya's face, he suddenly felt a slight vibration in his chest.

He was puzzled at first, but soon realized something, and his heart fluctuated.

The thing that shook in his chest was clearly the straw grasshopper that Bai Ya gave him yesterday!

Is it really alive?

The tremor reached its peak after a few breaths, and then, slowly, it stopped, and became quiet in his chest again.

It's a long story, but the whole process is less than ten breaths.

Only then did Meng Zhou remove the palm covering Bai Ya's face, her wide eyes had been closed, and the expression that had been frozen into confusion and confusion had also changed subtly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, as if she was sleeping in a sweet dream.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou slowly got up, spread his hands, signaled that he didn't take anything, and strode out of the room.

As a strange outsider, this is already the limit of what he can do.

One more step forward will exceed the limit of the character of the "bad good person", and it is difficult not to doubt his relationship with Bai Ya, so he stopped sensibly outside this step.

As soon as I came out of the small door, I saw more and more people gathering here.

In order to compete for the spirit stone, everyone in the room did not have any scruples about making a move, and the chaotic mana fluctuations naturally spread to the surroundings, and naturally they were immediately noticed by others.

When he came out, dozens of eyes were all nailed to him.

Among this group of people, there was the shopkeeper of Meng Zhou's accommodation hostel, and he asked directly: "Zhou Daoyou, what happened in the house?" ”

When Meng Zhou registered at the hotel, he claimed to be surnamed Zhou.

He didn't cover up for the people in the house, and said directly:

"Granny Bai and Bai Ya are dead, and there are hundreds of spirit stones scattered all over the place, and it seems that there are a lot of medium-grade spirit stones mixed in, and now everyone is rushing to grab them."

Before he could say this, all his eyes that had been on him shifted to the grocery store with the door closed.

In the next moment, several figures had already launched a charge.

"Boom-click-"

The closed door was directly knocked out of the holes, and the figures had disappeared into the room, and inside the house, more intense mana fluctuations came out of it.

After them, many more broke in.

Of course, not everyone is crowding into the grocery store, they are only a spectator and do not participate in it personally, including the shopkeeper who is familiar with Meng Zhou.

He also asked Meng Zhou in surprise: "Such a good opportunity, why don't you take the opportunity to pick up a few?" ”

Meng Zhou smiled bitterly: "Didn't you see the eyes of your old neighbors looking at me at that time, if I dared to move one, I am afraid that I would not be able to walk out of this gate alive today." ”

Everyone nodded and looked at Meng Zhou's eyes, as if to say, "You kid is quite interesting, and you haven't been carried away by the spirit stone." ”

Meng Zhou bowed his hand to the shopkeeper and went straight back to the hostel.

Back in the house, alone, taking off the relaxed mask on his face, Meng Zhou sat on the bed with a heavy face.
