Chapter 7: Quenching the Body and Defending the Great Array

I won't say much about leaving home to do business.

Having said that, in the house, because of Lin Ye's cultivation, Jiang Xueying has always been worried about it in her heart, and she is really afraid of causing some trouble.

Of course, she didn't dare to disturb Lin Ye, the three children in the family were even more regarded by her, otherwise she would really disturb Lin Ye's cultivation because of this, according to the laws formulated by Fan Yang City, their family would be judged guilty.

Hey, it's a good thing no matter how you look at it, but it's worrying and terrifying, and I don't know what to say.

At this moment, Jiang Xueying seemed to be holding an extremely important but easily broken baby in her hand, and she could fully understand her fear that the baby would suddenly fall to the ground and break.

Well, it's a bit of nonsense, time slipped away quietly in such a tense atmosphere, Qi Li, who went out to do errands, returned in the afterglow of the sunset, took off his coat and changed into slippers, and after entering the living room, he saw that the door of the room where Lin Ye was was still closed, and he didn't mean to open it at all, and his face was a little more worried.

He had often heard that a powerful practitioner would spend months, years, or even decades in retreat, and it was really hard to imagine how to spend such a long time, after all, it was almost the life of an ordinary person!

I don't know how long Lin Ye will be in retreat, don't learn from those big names who will be in retreat for several years, in that case, Qi Li feels that their family can only ask for more blessings.

......

Besides, in the room, Lin Ye, who was immersed in cultivation, couldn't feel the worries of Qi Li and his wife in the living room at all, he was always breathing in the aura of heaven and earth according to his own thoughts and steps, and slowly refining it into spiritual power to increase his cultivation, intending to break through the gap between mortals and cultivators in one fell swoop.

Everyone knows the truth of one blow, then decline, and exhaustion, maybe this may not be suitable for rigid things to practice, but Lin Ye is doing things with the mentality of "I'd rather believe what I have, not what I don't have".

Therefore, after the mind was immersed in cultivation, he didn't pay any attention to anything that happened in the outside world, let alone the question of whether his body could withstand it.

......

Seven days in the cave, a thousand years in the world!

There are no years of cultivation, and five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and unconsciously, Qi Li's family seems to have adapted to the current rhythm.

However, in fact, this is not the case, early this morning, seeing that Lin Ye had been in retreat for five days, Qi Li, Jiang Xueying and his wife, who were afraid that he would have problems because of not eating or drinking for a long time, were already in a hurry, and at this moment they were wandering around the living room like ants on a hot pot, and their eager expressions couldn't help but feel like their eyebrows were burning.

The two of them were really afraid that something would happen to Lin Ye in their house, and there would be a high probability that it would affect their family at that time, so they were eager to know Lin Ye's specific situation.

After all, this family not only has the two of them, but also their three children, the eldest is only twelve years old, and the youngest is only six years old, which is far from meeting the requirements of self-reliance, so once the couple is implicated and punished because of Lin Ye's accident, what will happen to the three children at that time, it is really unimaginable.

On the sofa, the three children sat together, looking at the anxious and worried look on their parents' faces, and the expressions of the three of them were also different.

The two younger ones couldn't quite understand what their parents were worried about, and they were curious to ask but didn't dare to ask, so they had to look at their eldest brother blankly, hoping that the eldest could explain their doubts.

The eldest one is obviously sensible and can understand what his parents are worried about, because he is already in middle school at the age of twelve, and the teacher has also told him about the laws and regulations of Fanyang City, which have three provisions, also known as the three major regulations:

1. A practitioner is the highest person, and ordinary people cannot refuse the reasonable demands of a practitioner.

2. If something happens to a practitioner in the home of an ordinary person, for whatever reason, that family will be punished, depending on the situation.

3. Cultivators have the obligation to protect ordinary people from demonic persecution, and practitioners who violate the obligations of cultivators may be expelled from Fanyang City.

The three rules are quite simple and general, and it is quite funny to use them as laws, but at least they clearly stipulate the obligations and rights of cultivators and ordinary people, and at the same time, these three seemingly funny laws protect Fanyang City, protect the hundreds of people in Fanyang City, and let people have a place to live and thrive in this world where demons are rampant.

But now, Jiang Xueying, who was worried, couldn't take too much care of it, compared to disturbing Lin Ye's cultivation, it was more harmful to let Lin Ye have an accident in their house, so she gave Qi Li a look: "Brother Li, you go and knock on the door!"

"Hmm!"

Nodding heavily, Qi Li, who had a heavy face, stopped pacing back and forth, and then came to the door of Lin Ye's room with difficult steps, hesitated for a while, and just as he raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened on its own, which was really surprising and delightful, Qi Li came back to his senses for a while, looked at Lin Ye with a flowery face, and asked, "Brother Lin, is it you?"

"Haha, it's me, it's me!"

Lin Ye's laughter was so neutral, he knew that there was nothing wrong when he heard it, and Qi Li was completely relieved, but soon he looked at Lin Ye with a strange face, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Seeing him like this, Lin Ye also understood his current situation, although he had been immersed in cultivation before, it did not mean that he was indifferent to the outside world, and he was quite clear about the process of excreting impurities from his body.

What's more, after breaking through to the first weight of the quenching body, he also checked it by the way, and naturally knew that Qi Li was curious at that point, it was nothing more than that his face was too flowery, and it looked like he had just drilled through the stove hole.

didn't say anything more to Qi Li, Lin Ye opened his mouth bluntly: "Brother Qi, don't worry, I'll explain to you later, by the way, where is the bathroom?"

"Oh, just go down the way to the house!"

Qi Li pointed with his hand, and at the same time made way for Lin Ye, but Lin Ye didn't wait for Qi Li to finish speaking, so he took three steps and two steps into the bathroom.

There is a large mirror in the bathroom, and if you look closely at the figure in the mirror, only a pair of big eyes are turning, and the face is covered with a layer of black things, grinning and revealing white teeth, the more you look at it, the more you look like a brother from Africa.

"Damn, it's dirty!"

Taking off his clothes and pants, he looked more and more like an African brother in the mirror, his arms, thighs, waist and abdomen were all splashed with ink, and even his little brother couldn't escape, and his little brother kept raising his head for some reason, looking at it was too ashamed!

"Wash, wash it!"

As soon as the shower was turned on, the water sprayed out, Lin Ye stood under the shower, rubbing the soap, and a washing song soon sounded.

......

In the afternoon, Lin Ye and Qi Li went out to run errands, and they didn't go far on the stone-paved Chaoyang Street, when the short man Sun Yong quietly followed, asked questions for a while, and then followed behind the two of them like a little follower.

Neither of them cared much about this, and the two of them didn't go out to go shopping, they really had something to do.

Of course, Lin Ye also has his own plans in his heart, if he wants to integrate into this world faster, then a deeper understanding is essential, and if he wants to achieve a deeper understanding, one person can't do it behind closed doors, others can't tell it, and it can't learn book knowledge.

Only by walking on the streets, fields, countryside and other places, seeing through your own eyes, feeling through your own actions, and understanding and understanding through your own wisdom, this is possible!

Walking on the street at this moment, Lin Ye saw everything he wanted to see, the crowds of people coming and going, the vendors shouting and selling on the side of the street, everything showed that Fanyang City was very vibrant.

In terms of buildings, the houses and shops basically have obvious Chinese classical architectural characteristics, but in some surrounding areas, there are high-rise buildings with reinforced concrete structures, and there is also a palace like the Forbidden City that is very conspicuous, so that people can know at a glance that it is not a place where ordinary people can live.

For this reason, he also specially asked Qi Li, it turned out that the palace was the residence of the most noble city lord in Fanyang City, and it was no wonder that it was built with a magnificent atmosphere like a palace.

According to Qi Li, the City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Fanyang City, and it is the hub of the entire Fanyang City Defense Array, which controls the defense array of Fanyang City, and is also the key to protecting the safety of hundreds of thousands of residents in the city.

Well, as soon as he heard that there was a large defensive array in Fanyang City, and it was not far in front of him, Lin Ye still felt extremely surprised even if he had already thought that it would not be so simple.

Although he had already thought that there might be something like a formation in this world, he didn't expect to meet it so soon, but it didn't seem to be anything too special looking at the City Lord's Mansion at the moment!

"Brother Qi, does this defensive array really exist, why can't I see anything?" Lin Ye asked.

"Of course it exists!" Qi Li responded crisply, seeing that Lin Ye had a faint look of confusion in his eyes, he had to continue to explain: "The defense array consumes a lot, and when there is no demon attack, if it is opened all the time, Fan Yang City can't bear it at all, so ......"

"I see!"

Lin Ye showed a sudden realization, in fact, he had some guesses just now, and it was not far from what Qi Li said, but in order to let Qi Li reveal more information, he naturally had to learn to pretend to be stupid, otherwise why would others explain it to you?

The two of them were muttering here, not paying attention to Sun Yong's movements behind him, he shuttled among the pedestrians and colluded to connect, and unconsciously it seemed that a few more people with mysterious whereabouts were surrounding Lin Ye and Qi Li...... (To be continued)
