Volume 1: Looking at the Galaxy Chapter 22: Gambling with Spirits (1)
Now that these things are happening on Qingyun Peak and the outside world, Han Dong is naturally unaware.
On this day, the morning bell rings between Danfeng in the early morning.
Han Dong, who was practicing in the meditation room, opened his eyes and felt the rich aura gathered by the spirit array in the Gengzi meditation room, pouring out the turbidity of a night of practice.
More than ten days have passed since I met Huang Hao that day, and today is the period of the gambling fight with Zhong Ling'er a month ago!
After Huang Hao gave him the arrow containing 1,500 exchange points, he suspended his arrangement to take time out of the night to go to the Cold Water Pool to pick frost grass. Thanks to this large exchange point, he was completely immersed in his cultivation, and almost all of his spare time except for meals was spent in the ashram.
If it weren't for the fact that the long-term cultivation consumed too much divine thoughts, it would lead to a significant decrease in the efficiency of his cultivation, and he had to rest and sleep for an hour or two every day to restore his divine thoughts, and he really planned to plunge into the retreat room day and night.
With such ascetic cultivation, the effect in exchange was naturally very obvious, and he had officially entered the third-layer realm during the lecture hall test the day before yesterday.
It took a month to eliminate three layers of the spirit film, which was very shocking to other cultivators.
You must know that except for Huang Hao, who is restricted by the cultivation restrictions in Danfeng's children's courtyard, and he also intends to slow down his cultivation speed, he is the fastest cultivation speed among these cultivators except for that Xu Zhenzhen.
Although it is said that there are also spirit membranes in the later stage, the difficulty of consumption will gradually increase, and the cultivation speed will be slowed down, but this kind of achievement is enough to make others staggered.
After all, on the face of the few cultivators here, the most talented young man Zhang Snake Bao also took nearly two months to reach the third floor.
He was followed by Huang Hao, because he deliberately controlled his cultivation speed, the truth was unknown.
Zhong Ling'er and that Zhou Yu took almost three months, and now they have been here for more than half a year, and they are only just entering the sixth floor. Because Zhou Yu came more than a month earlier than her, he was slightly better, and he had reached the seventh floor.
Over the past few days, perhaps because of the pressure brought by Han Dong, all the cultivators have consciously been much more diligent in their cultivation.
Out of the Gengzi retreat room, he looked left and right, the other three were still in retreat, Huang Hao was handed over to Han Dong because of the wrigley, so he was not practicing in the retreat room during this time.
After glancing at the Aoi Zi Meditation Room where Zhong Ling'er was, and muttering in place for a while, Han Dong walked towards the Flame Crystal Cave in the southwest direction outside the small courtyard.
Before coming to the Flame Crystal Cave, Han Dong looked around and found no trace of Huang Hao, frowned, lowered his head and walked towards the cave where the scorching heat wave was endless.
After passing the tall and empty stone chamber where the Flame Crystal Bronze Beast was located in the cave, he continued to walk in along the first path on his left hand. The inside of the corridor was dark red, because of the dark red light emitted by the surrounding fire crystal ore, and the deeper you went into the cave, the more dim and scarlet the light became.
After passing through two caves in a row that were much smaller than the first stone chamber, Han Dong had already reached the limit of his physical endurance at this moment. According to Huang Hao, this should still be the central area of the Huoyan Crystal Cave, and the next grotto is the core area.
It's just that Han Dong can't move forward here, and after muttering a few perverted words in his heart, he opened his throat and shouted: "Huang Ritian! Huang ~ Ri ~ Tian ~"
Not long after, a slightly dissatisfied voice came from the depths of the Yongdao: "Han Dong, what is your ghost name?"
"Heheha, it's not like I can't get in, I can only transmit sound in the cave. ”
"Let's talk about it when we get out. A short, sturdy figure spun out of the cavern ahead.
When the two came to the door of the Huoyan Crystal Cave, they didn't go far, and sat opposite each other in the open space at the entrance of the cave.
Huang Hao took the arrow thrown by Han Dong, didn't look at it and stuffed it into his arms, and said, "How do you think about the gambling fight with Ling'er later?"
Han Dong patted the hem of the clothes glued to the withered grass for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's impossible for me to deliberately release water, on the contrary, I will do my best in the later gambling fight." ”
Huang Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Han Dong with his eyebrows, but he didn't interrupt without saying anything, and motioned for him to continue.
"Huang Ritian, have you ever thought about how Zhong Ling'er will deal with herself in this children's courtyard after today's incident?" Han Dong did not directly explain his intentions, but asked Huang Hao first.
"I'll be there later, as long as you don't humiliate her too much, I'll slowly calm her down after the fight. Although Huang Hao had some doubts in his heart, he also admitted to treating each other frankly.
Ever since he chose to negotiate with Han Dong, he had been thinking about this issue.
There is no doubt that with Zhong Linger's self-esteem and personality, which are extremely strong temperaments, a temporary setback may not be a big deal for some people, but it may be a serious blow to her.
If it weren't for the rules and constraints in the mountains, in fact, he would have chosen a simpler and more direct way to solve the contradiction between Han Dong and Zhong Ling'er.
Han Dong stared at Huang Hao, with a relaxed look on his face, and asked, "I can understand your intentions, but have you thought about Zhong Ling'er?"
"Huh?" Huang Hao's face was already a little impatient, if he hadn't thought about Zhong Ling'er, why did he do such a waste of time?
Han Dong didn't seem to care about the dissatisfaction on Huang Hao's face, and continued: "You may be stronger than me and Zhong Ling'er, but it is this strength that makes you believe in your subconscious choice. No matter what kind of consideration you are in, what you show is always a protective posture of Zhong Ling'er, so have you ever thought about Zhong Ling'er's willingness to accept your protective posture?"
"What do you mean?" Huang Hao's tone was faintly angry, if Han Dong wanted to regret it now, even if he violated the door rules, he would choose to solve the matter in the easiest way.
"Don't be too busy getting angry, since I promised to help you, I will naturally do it!" It's just that I think the way you said it before was inappropriate, or it was inappropriate for Zhong Ling'er," Han Dong looked at Huang Hao with sincerity, and seeing that he didn't interrupt him, he continued to tell his reasons, "What Zhong Ling'er said to you in the dining hall that day, you may have heard too much and didn't care, but I remember it." ”
Huang Hao thought about what Zhong Ling'er said that day, and his brows slowly locked.
"Huang Hao, I can't afford to be a princess like you......"
"I know what's going on in your heart!
Thinking of this, Huang Hao's already calm face became heavier and heavier, and his heart was already a little chaotic.
Han Dong glanced at Huang Hao, and continued in a deep voice: "Although I don't know Zhong Ling'er as well as you, at least I can see whether what she said is true or false, she is not stupid, you think that many things are hidden from her, in fact, she can feel it." The more you maintain this protective posture in front of her, the more resistant and frustrated her self-esteem becomes. ”
"You, go on. ”
"Since Zhong Ling'er was born in the Wang family, she naturally still has her own heart, and she was suddenly pressed by you, but you can feel the depression in your heart but you can't understand it. The more you do it, the more it will backfire. When you're gambling, you don't have to be there. ”
"Then how can I believe you?" Huang Hao glanced at Han Dong deeply.
"Then why are you looking for me? Didn't you already choose to believe me when you looked for me? What's more, I have no inextricable grudge with Zhong Ling'er, if you choose to be sincere, I will repay the favor. Han Dong straightened up and met Huang Hao's gaze without the slightest fear.
Huang Hao stared at Han Dong's immature but serious face, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Okay! I believe you this time, but you still have to tell me what you are going to do." Otherwise, I will never be reassured. ”
Han Dong returned to his previous sitting posture and said with a smile: "I said before, I will fight her mercilessly with all my might, how much pride she has in the world, I will scatter all her pride!" He stared at Huang Hao seriously, his voice was serious and his expression was serious, "If you can't let her realize this earlier, she will never be able to go far on her own on the road of cultivation." Besides, in my opinion, the more you protect, the more it doesn't matter to her or to you!"
When Han Dong said this, Huang Hao kept staring at Han Dong's eyes, trying to find even a trace of conspiracy and dodge from Han Dong's eyes, but found that the young kid opposite only had sincerity in his eyes.
At this moment, he finally let go of the doubts in his heart, stood up from the dry grass, and bowed to Han Dong's armrest seriously: "If it is really as you said, you are here to help Ling'er, not to deliberately humiliate her." I agree with your suggestion, and I, Huang Hao, remember your feelings this time. ”
Han Dong hurriedly got up from the ground, patted his ass and smiled: "You don't have to be so serious, I also took your benefits." I helped you because you didn't have a preconceived view of me as an enemy, and you were able to put down your body and come to me for negotiation. So, you don't have to be like this at all. ”
Huang Hao is not the kind of person who twists and turns, since this matter has been agreed upon, he has chosen to trust, then there will be no more doubts in his heart. He looked at Han Dong with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Han Dong, I really don't understand. You're a year or two younger than me, so why are your thoughts so deep?"
Han Dong smiled at Huang Hao: "I always like to think crankily when I encounter things. Thinking about it will involuntarily think deeply, which is already a habit and natural. And, I cherish your kindness. Huang Hao, in my heart, you are my first friend. ”
Huang Hao looked at Han Dong with a little hesitation, and said softly: "It seems that you also have some stories, no wonder you don't look like a normal little hairy child at all." ”
"Normal people? How can a normal child not even have a playmate at the age of five or six? For as long as I can remember, I have not set foot outside the house, and since I was a child, my father has been forced to do many things in the name of protection, and I have not even one to talk to. In fact, what you really ignore to Zhong Ling'er is that she is here, suffering every day. Han Dong looked up at the rising sun and said faintly.
Huang Hao looked at Han Dong thoughtfully, and had to admit that this kid did have something special about him. He is different from Han Dong, he is not the kind of person who is good at words, what his father taught him since he was a child is always to act first!
Looking along Han Dong's line of sight, in the distance, the golden light that jumped from the east just over the top of the mountain was spread on the two young men, golden and dazzling.
......
"Huang Ritian, to tell you the truth, do you really like Zhong Ling'er?"
“......”
"She doesn't have a good temper, can you stand it?"
"Get out!"
......
