It was too difficult to teach children to learn pinyin, and Shen Shi'an decided to give up. It's more practical to study the exercise book.

The bamboo building study has been briefly renovated, two gray-blue fabric sofas are placed against the wall, a thick layer of carpet is laid on the floor, and the round low table of solid wood can sit more than four people, and a few pillows are thrown at random next to the table, and it is very comfortable to sit or lie down.

Shen Shi'an put the children's comic books, storybooks, and building block toys on the round table, and instructed: "Play by yourself, don't make trouble." He put a coaster under the glass bowl: "It's okay to eat, but don't mess it all over the place." ”

The glass bowl is filled with a small snack he made for children, orange juice aloe vera, the raw material is the aloe vera that mutates and grows crazy after watering the spiritual spring water, chop off the sharp thorns of the forearm length with an axe, peel the mesophyll, select the fattest part in the middle and cut it into long strips, first cook it with boiling water to remove the bitterness, then marinate it with freshly squeezed orange juice and honey for two hours, and finally pour it into a glass bowl covered with ice cubes, which is fresh and juicy, fresh and refreshing, and is most suitable for eating and relieving greasy after the New Year's Festival.

The only inconvenience is that the temperature in the home and space is not low, the glass bowl is filled with ice, and a large number of water droplets will liquefy out on the outer wall after a while. For Shen Shi'an, this is an unforgivable thing.

After receiving the assurance from the child's mouth that "the bowl is on the mat if you don't eat only vegetables", Shen Shi'an took out the exercise book from the shelf, calmed down, and tried to decipher it again.

Shen Xun forked a few aloe vera sticks with a fork, grabbed a bone-shaped pillow and sniffed it while chewing, stacked the blocks indiscriminately and pushed them down. After barely being separated for ten minutes, he turned his head and began to move towards Shen Shi'an, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he fell on the exercise book:

Oh, there are quite a few treasures in this carry-on field.

Shen Shi'an sat back on the sofa, one leg slightly bent and the other leg straightened, pulling out a slender and straight line under the loose slacks. There were more than a dozen pieces of manuscript paper scattered around his legs, each of which was densely packed, and the words in the exercise book were arranged and reorganized in turn according to various deciphering methods.

Shen Shi'an's hard pen writing is very good-looking, it is the kind of Jun Xiu neat and neat who will be attracted at first sight and then can't help but admire, the pen is strong and thin, and he has won a prize in the hard pen competition in high school.

It's a pity that not long after these beautiful words were written, they were soon crossed out by two black lines, and a small cross was drawn after the decipherment method used in this text.

The more words were erased, the thicker the manuscript paper fell around him, and the eyes that were half-hidden under the black hair became more and more irritable and impatient, and when another piece of manuscript paper was invalidated and thrown down, Shen Shi'an closed the exercise book with a "snap", brushed up his forehead with his backhand, and his smooth forehead had a texture like white jade, leaning back on the sofa and sighing heavily.

Still won't work.

No matter how hard you try, the sentences in this book don't make any sense.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the study with some irritation. His eyes suddenly turned to the landscape painting on the wall, and finally landed on the word "Return to the Ruins" in the upper left corner of the scroll.

In the entire study, only the inscription of this painting can be connected with the exercise book, but he has seen this painting countless times, and he has not found anything special except for confirming that the scenery in the painting is beautiful and the painter's painting skills are exquisite.

Could it be that the decipherment is hidden under the paint? Or in the middle of a drawing paper? Is he going to send the painting for professional testing? But what if the test results are beyond common sense, such as the painting is thousands of years old, or the paint used to paint is not of any known substance, how can he explain it?

Yes. Shen Shi'an rubbed his temples vigorously, which was really irritating.

Shen Xun stared at him secretly for a long time, and finally understood what he wanted to do. puffed out his cheeks and thought: Tsk, stupid An An. He chewed the aloe vera strips in his mouth and swallowed them, raised his lotus-like arm and waved at him twice: "...... Come ......"

When he came back and sat down on the sofa, he suddenly grabbed one of his fingers, put it in his mouth and bit it with lightning speed, then squeezed out a few blood beads and smeared them on the spine of the exercise book.

Shen Shi'an only felt a pain in his fingertips, and before he could question, the exercise book on his leg suddenly shone brightly, slowly suspended into the air like the rising sun in the east, and turned into countless points of light towards Shen Shi'an in an instant, slowly swimming for a moment and then disappearing into his body.

As if thrown into the chaos before the opening of the world, it was like waking up in a dream, and there were countless lights and shadows flying by quickly, but they couldn't see clearly and couldn't grasp it, so they could only drift with the tide in the boundless darkness, not knowing where to go......

When Shen Shi'an regained control of his body, he opened his eyes and found himself lying flat on the sofa, with a white and tender little ball lying next to him.

"How long did I sleep?" He sat up with a frown.

Shen Xun stretched out a hand: "... Ten minutes..."

After looking around, the exercise book was gone—or in another form, and as soon as his mind moved, the contents of the entire exercise book would automatically appear in his mind. Although the sentences are profound and subtle and obscure, they are finally not the illogical gibberish they used to be.

He looked at Shen Xun's eyes: "How do you know that it is useful to use blood?" ”

The dark green eyes blinked twice, ignorant, cute and innocent: "... Confess the Lord with blood, it's all played like this on TV..."

Shen Shi'an was silent, "...... Watch less TV in the future. ”

This matter is actually his own misunderstanding, because the normal Chinese characters in the book are only obviously in the wrong order, so just thinking about decoding, and because the exercise book is paper, he never thought of associating it with the liquid of blood. Since the Buddha beads were fused with his blood to produce changes and open up space, he should have tried this method in the exercise book a long time ago.

In vain, he pondered for so long, and finally let a dog who loves to watch Xianxia dramas beat him crookedly. Shen Shi'an couldn't help laughing, rubbed two handfuls on the child's head, and stood up from the sofa.

After fusing the exercise book, the whole space completely changed in his eyes: the air was filled with wisps of pale cyan substance, which was somewhere between liquid and solid, floating around irregularly, and seeping into the human body with his breath.

And when he meditates on the mantra recorded in the exercise book, the speed at which this substance penetrates into the human body will suddenly increase, and after circulating along the veins for a week, it will gather in the lower abdomen, like a pool of warm spiritual spring water, nourishing every inch of skin on the limbs.

The wound on his fingertip that had been bitten by Shen Xun had long since healed under its repair, and he could even clearly feel that all the cells in his body were rejoicing because of this substance, like spring grass after rain, radiating vigorous vitality.

Shen Shi'an tried to clench his fist, and a surging sense of power immediately surged out - if the spiritual spring water had improved his physique, then under the effect of the exercises, this substance called spiritual power had completely transformed him from the inside out.

According to the records in the book, if you can cultivate this set of "Returning to the Ruins" to the Twelfth Order Great Perfection Realm, you will be able to turn over the wind and rain and smash the void and become a great power similar to that of a god. Now Shen Shi'an has just come into contact with the exercises, and although he hasn't even touched the first-order barrier, he is already very satisfied with the current effect.

Swinging a few punches into the air at will, the clear sound of breaking the air showed the terrifying power contained in the fist, at this time, Shen Shi'an was like a cheetah that had just become an adult, young and vigorous, full of energy and hustle and bustle, not knowing how to vent.

After going back and forth in the study a few times to feel the changes in his body, Shen Shi'an paused, suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked out.

“… An An..."Shen Xun quickly stood up and chased after him with the glass bowl.

Walking to the position at the entrance of the inner staircase of the hall, Shen Shi paused and continued to go up, until he stopped at the bend, raised his hand and waved twice in the air-

It's gone, and the invisible barrier that was originally blocking it is gone.

Shen Shi was overjoyed, and immediately quickened his pace and walked up, and when the height of his line of sight crossed the staircase, the entire second floor was unobstructed:

Unlike the first floor, there are no separate rooms, and the entire floor is open, about five to six meters high, supported by six thick solid wood pillars, and as far as the eye can see, there is nothing.

“… An An..."

Shen Shi'an turned his head and found that Shen Xun was climbing up with his little short legs, and he didn't even climb a quarter of the way after climbing for a long time, sitting on the stairs with a milky voice: "... Hug..."

The corners of his lips curled, and he took a few steps back to pick him up and put him on the floor, then walked around the pillar. The first floor is divided into several rooms by a wall, which is not obvious, and the entire floor is opened up here to find that the area of the bamboo building is very considerable, and the second floor is higher than the general housing, which looks extremely spacious and empty.

Walking to the corresponding position in the study downstairs, Shen Shi'an stopped, and his gaze fell directly on the entire weapon wall in front of him.

The walls are all cold weapons, and there are many kinds of swords, guns, swords, and halberds. In the center is a long sword more than half a person high, the whole body is pitch black and the shape is simple, and the scabbard is carved with some simple but strange beauty of the beast-shaped pattern.

Shen Shi'an took a few steps forward, grasped the blade of the sword with both hands, and carefully removed the long sword from the stand. Holding the sheath in his right hand and the handle in his left hand, he exerted a slight force, and a snow-blue sword light suddenly lit up in his field of vision, and the sword body trembled lightly like a dragon's groan-

The long sword is cold and clear, the sword is like autumn water, the blade is like frost, even if he knows little about cold weapons, Shen Shi'an has no doubt that what he is holding in his hand is a divine soldier who has broken his hair and cut iron like mud.

Holding the sword with one hand and stabbing it into the air a few times, Shen Shi'an quickly understood the reason why the barrier on the stairs existed before: I don't know what the specific material of the sword in his hand is, but the density is very large, even if the scabbard is at least fifty kilograms, if it weren't for the fact that he fused the exercise book and his body was transformed by spiritual power, there was absolutely no way to hold it so easily, and when the time came, if he accidentally bumped into it, it was estimated that he would either break his hand or his foot.

The second floor looks empty, and sure enough, there is a treasure hidden. Shen Shi moved with peace of mind, walked to the window, stretched out his right index finger and touched the blade of the sword very carefully, and there was an opening on the fingertip in an instant, and bright red blood beads came out and dripped on the sword's body-

There was no reaction, and he rolled straight down the blade of the sword.

Ahem, it's because he's overthinking.

Shen Shi'an was a little embarrassed to put his sword into the sheath, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Xun on tiptoe, reaching for a Tang knife at the bottom of the weapon wall.

The Tang knife was dark red all over, the blade was twice as wide as a long sword, and the lines on the scabbard were unrestrained, standing taller than the child's entire body—

If you fall and fall on your body, you will be injured or killed.

Shen Shi'an's pupils constricted, and he shouted urgently: "Don't touch!" ”

But before he could rush over to save people, Shen Xun had already taken the knife down, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and pulled it out, and waved it left and right twice.

Shen Shi'an suddenly stopped in place with a sudden brake, paused, and then walked over and took the knife from his hand and struck it twice: it was very heavy, and the expected heavy hand was heavier than the long sword in the other hand.

Looking at the child's expression, he instantly became strange: "...... When did you get so strong? ”

Shen Xun still sells cuteness and pretends to be stupid: "... It's been like this..."

Shen Shi'an narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while without speaking. Then he turned around and put the long sword and the Tang knife back in their place: "Let's go, go downstairs." ”

The soldier is a divine soldier, but he doesn't need it at the moment, so it's better to put it here.

As soon as he looked down and found that the glass bowl containing orange juice and aloe vera was casually placed on the floor, and the coaster that should have been underneath was completely gone, his tone immediately became dangerous: "What did I tell you, huh?" Don't leave the bowl with ice in it, the water will seep all over your ......"

The sound stopped abruptly when the fingers touched the wall of the bowl.

Wait, something is wrong.

Shen Shi'an picked up the bowl and examined it carefully, confirming that he was not dazzled or hallucinating-

There are no water droplets, whether it is the outer edge of the glass bowl or the floor on which the glass bowl is placed, everything is dry and tidy without the slightest water stain.

But it's not possible. There are still a lot of unmelted ice cubes under the aloe vera strips in the bowl, Shen Shi'an has not been holding the bowl for a while, the palm of his hand has been cold, the temperature in the space is about twenty degrees, hot air liquefied into water droplets when cold is the most basic physical reaction, he and Shen Xun have been on the second floor for nearly twenty minutes, it is absolutely impossible to have no liquefied water vapor outside the bowl wall, obviously it was normal in the study before......

A flash of inspiration flashed in Shen Shi'an's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

He pinched a piece of ice from the bowl, crouched down and put it on the floor, and looked closely at it for a moment:

Ten minutes passed, and the ice was still in volume, showing no signs of melting.

the groove.

Shen Shi'an clenched his fists tightly before he could control the exclamation that was almost blurted out-

For items, time on the second floor of the main building is completely static! That's why the glass bowl will always stay in the same state as before it was picked up!

No, it's not just items. Shen Shi'an looked down at his right index finger, and a slight scratch on the tip of his finger was clearly visible-

This is the wound he cut on the blade of the sword, according to his current physique and the spiritual power nourishment in his body, such a small wound should have healed a long time ago, but at this time, there is no sign of healing, what was drawn a moment ago, and what it still looks like now.

He thought that the weapon wall was a treasure hidden on the second floor, but in fact, the second floor of the entire bamboo building was the biggest treasure!

There is a space where time stands still inside, and the meaning is unclear. To put it simply, at least in the future, there is no need to worry about questions such as "how to preserve the food grown in the black soil".

Shen Shi'an suppressed his excitement, and in order to prove that his guess was not wrong again, he flashed out of the space with a thought, poured a cup of hot water and flashed in-

Half an hour later, the hot water was still boiling hot.

The wound on the tip of his right finger had healed in a short time after leaving the second floor of the bamboo building.

In the process of entering and exiting the space, in addition to pouring a cup of hot water, Shen Shi'an also found two other surprises brought by the fusion of the exercise book-

Before merging with the exercises, the space was completely isolated from the outside world, which meant that when he entered the space, he was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and vice versa.

After fusing the exercise book, whether he is in or outside the space, he can clearly perceive the changes on the other end.

For example, Shen Shi'an entered the space from the living room, and when he was in the space, as long as his mind moved, the scene in the living room at this moment could appear in his consciousness; And when he left the space, the movement in the entire space was under control.

At the same time, whether he is in space or outside space, he can rely on his consciousness to move objects in space. However, this ability seems to be limited by the level of exercises, with Shen Shi'an's current state, just by moving the cactus from the front of the bamboo building to the back of the bamboo building, and then from the back of the bamboo building, you can feel obvious dizziness.

And this ability doesn't seem to be useful to animals, he tried it several times, and Shen Xun is still sitting on the second floor of the bamboo building and chewing aloe vera.

In any case, this fusion of the exercise book has really gained a lot.

Shen Shi'an was in a very good mood, and walked out of the bamboo building with Shen Xun in his arms, and the peach tree outside the corridor where the two of them hugged each other did not know when it was full of peach blossoms.

A few pieces quietly fell on the young man's head and face, and when he looked up, his thick and long eyelashes were like two small fans, his jawline was clear and smooth, and his black hair and red lips were like jade, and his complexion was like jade, which was a little more scorching and compelling than the peach blossoms.

Shen Xun was accidentally stunned, opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, almost dripping saliva on Shen Shi'an's shoulder.

Shen Shi'an frowned in disgust, quickly straightened his arm and put the child down, and walked around the space to see if there were any other changes.

When he walked to the side of the stream, his heart moved, and he remembered the most important thing, and turned around and walked quickly towards the Lingquan Pool.

In the transpiring mist, if you listen quietly, you can catch the slightest sound of running water.

Shen Shi'an looked at the re-moistened spring and breathed a sigh of relief, although compared to the original, the current water flow is only a very thin wisp, and it seems that it will disappear at any time intermittently, but as long as there is improvement, it is a good thing.

Since the spring and the exercises are mutually sensitive, as long as he cultivates hard, he will be able to restore it to its original state one day.

A boulder fell in his heart, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed. When he turned his head, he saw Shen Xun lying tightly on the golden shield like a gecko, his squeezed face was full of longing, and poor Baba shouted at him: "... Ann... An An..."

Shen Shi'an sat on the ground by the spiritual spring and smiled at him very gently: "You don't want to come in." ”
