It's sunny outside the tower.
A few rays of sunlight rushed into the tower through the window to find out what was going on.
The candles on the stone table had long since burned out, leaving only a pile of wax.
Ning Wan, lying on the stone bed, slowly woke up.
He blinked his eyes and turned over again, letting the quilt cover his head, ready to take another nap.
Suddenly, Ning Wan sat up like a catapult.
I looked at the quilt in my palm in shock, my mind went blank.
She remembered that after hearing the so-called system prompt yesterday, she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Then she kept thinking about the possibility of Shen Jingyuan digging out her demon pill to prove his Taoism.
And then...
Obviously, she was lying where Shen Jingyuan had been lying before, and she didn't even know when he left.
"Xiao Qi, nothing happened yesterday, right?"
Ning Wan just felt a little headache. While rubbing her temples with her fingers, she asked Xiao Qi.
[Host, everything went fine last night. No accidents occurred.]
Xiaoqi was in good spirits and responded diligently and promptly.
Ning Wan breathed a sigh of relief and without thinking too much, she stood up and sat on the stone chair to clean the wax off it.
I picked up the storybook that I hadn't finished reading last night and continued reading it.
Just hold on for another day and you'll be able to get out soon.
Ning Wan ignored the unpleasant parts and thought optimistically.
The tower demon hiding in the corner also slowly ran out and rubbed against Ning Wan's feet again and again.
Ning Wan lowered her head, glanced at the tower monster which was obviously deflated, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
The tower demon was not angry. It just ran to the bookshelf beside it, picked up a storybook and placed it on the stone table.
The tower monster thought that it was actually afraid of loneliness.
It thought it had gotten used to loneliness, but it couldn't bear the brief companionship and the silent night returned again.
Looking up at Ning Wan who was quietly reading the storybook in front of him, the tower monster could not deny that it did have some thoughts that it shouldn't have.
It wanted to keep the person in front of it in the tower monster.
Even if you don't say anything, just looking at her quietly is enough.
Ning Wan in front of him didn't notice anything unusual and just flipped through the book from time to time.
The tower demon knew that he shouldn't think like this, but he couldn't control his thoughts.
Looking at the scripture pressed under him.
I think it is just born out of resentment. Even if you don't want to think about it in your heart, you still have those shameful and despicable thoughts in your bones.
In a moment of uncertainty, Ning Wan also poked the tower monster.
The moment the black gas drifted around, it was captured by those rays of sunlight.
The tower demon did not inflate its body as usual, and the childish game came to an end inadvertently.
Ning Wan withdrew her hand.
At this time, the tower monster hugged the book under him and ran into the corner again with a puff.
It was born alone, how could it be afraid of loneliness?
The tower demon comforted himself and resisted the urge to lie down in front of Ning Wan and read a book.
But the Demon Locking Tower was empty.
If Ning Wan really went out, then only the tower monster would be left.
If nothing unexpected happens, this tower will probably never be cared for by anyone else from now on.
Ning Wan was stunned as she looked at the tower demon who had a bad temper...
…
At the foot of Chongming Mountain.
Zhang Rui and his group have been traveling for several days.
Perhaps it was because Chongming Mountain was too far off, and there wasn't even a wide road.
I could only vaguely find a small path.
Just looking at the endless path without even a thatched hut, someone couldn't help but complain.
"How did you find such a desolate place? I've been walking for several days and haven't seen a single outsider."
The one who spoke was the seventh brother, who was being supported by the fourth brother.
The others also supported each other and borrowed strength from each other to avoid falling behind.
After all, the boys were still young and had not suffered any hardships after being taken to the mountains.
"Seventh Brother, stop complaining. You've been grumbling so many times along the way. Save your breath. We don't know how long this journey will take."
The fourth one on the side took over the conversation.
But this time, Lao Qi didn't buy it.
Looking at the fourth brother who was walking ahead and ordering, he spoke without thinking: "But this is too remote, and there are very few edible wild fruits along the way."
As Lao Qi spoke, his stomach rumbled.
"Okay, okay, let's rest here for a while and then continue on our journey later."
The sun is shining brightly at this time, not too hot.
Just listening to what Lao Qi said, Zhang Rui felt very uncomfortable.
Ultimately, he was inconsiderate.
But they really couldn't find any carriages or horses here, and even if there were any, they didn't have the money.
Looking at the peach wood sword in his hand, Zhang Rui calmed his mind and said, "When practicing, one should focus on cultivating the mind."
"If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you catch monsters, and how can you clear your master's name?"
Zhang Rui looked at his fellow apprentices who were so tired that they sat on the ground, not caring about the dirt and mess, and warned them.
Qi Jin on the side also nodded.
"Brother Zhang is right. We came out here to catch monsters. How can we be defeated by such a small setback?"
"We are monster catchers, the best monster catchers."
Qi Jin emphasized again.
The young men who were originally listless regained some energy and spirit.
Zhang Rui took out a few pancakes from his backpack, tore them in half and shared them with others.
"After we finish eating, let's continue on our journey."
"Let's take advantage of the good weather now. If it's too late, I'm afraid we'll have to sleep in the wild again."
Zhang Rui joked, but his tone was full of bitterness.
The boys said no more and ate the little dry food left in their hands bite by bite.
They had never gone down the mountain or gone to the market.
Naturally, I don’t know much about the location of Chongming Mountain.
Yu Min held the dry food tightly in his hand, but did not eat it. After hesitating for a while, he stuffed the dry food in his arms.
Suddenly, a piece of cake was handed to him again.
Yu Min looked at the cake in Zhang Rui's hand, his throat rolling several times, and he suppressed his hunger: "I have eaten."
As he said this, he lowered his head again.
Zhang Rui sat down next to Yu Min, took Yu Min's hand, and stuffed the cake in his palm into his palm:
"I saw it."
Zhang Rui's tone was calm, but his eyes fell on Yu Min's arms.
Yu Min's body stiffened slightly: "I don't..."
“Gurgle——”
Before he could finish his words, Yu Min's stomach started to growl.
Zhang Rui was amused and smiled. He pulled Yu Min's shoulder and patted him: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I will definitely take you out."
"I will!"
Zhang Rui spoke the last four words several times louder.
The young men also listened to it and kept it in mind.
