Chapter 387 Father and daughter won the Peach Festival, and my Peach Garden was emptied [asking for monthly votes]
Whoosh whoosh——
The cold spring breeze blew, the night fell, blocking out the sky, leaving only endless darkness.
Blown by the wind, the leaden clouds slowly pile up, hiding the moonlight from the prying eyes of the mundane world.
The second city of the divine capital.
On the White Jade Square.
The Queen held the Milky Way like a jade hairpin and tore open the water of the Milky Way, which poured down with a roar. The picture reflected in the water curtain completely attracted everyone's attention.
The Heroes' Victory Meeting is nearing its end. Everyone knows that the battle between Jinmao Hou and Li Che will determine who will be the leader of the Heroes' Victory Meeting.
Because only one person can get three peaches and enter the fourth round.
The fourth round was the Nine Thousand Years Peach Garden, which meant that the winner of this round would be the real hero and could enter the Nine Thousand Years Peach Garden and pick the Nine Thousand Years Peach! The Dajing monks were extremely nervous, because no one wanted the champion of this Peach Competition to be a monk from outside Dajing, on Wushen Mountain.
Wushen Mountain, after all, belongs to the power of the Dali royal court.
Therefore, everyone was sweating for Li Che, as the strength displayed by the Golden Haired Hound was truly too strong.
However, when the real battle broke out, everyone was stunned, because, contrary to what they had imagined, Li Che was not completely crushed by the golden-haired beast, and he even fought back with various means.
"That's... that's the lightning-struck peach wood sword of Zhang Xuanlei, the number one hero of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect?"
"It seems so. I never thought... Li Bansheng would have made such achievements in the way of Thunder Sword."
"How could you not think of it? Do you think that the Taibai Sect Master of the Qianyuan Divine Sect is just a decoration? The Taibai Sect Master is famous for his swordsmanship and was once known as the Taibai Killer Star for his swordsmanship!"
…
There were endless exclamations.
Looking at the tragic and terrifying battle scene reflected in the water curtain of the Tianhe River, with its shaking aftermath, everyone was trembling physically and mentally.
Even the Tianhe water curtain seemed unable to bear this picture. The water droplets vibrated and exploded continuously, forming mist that continuously reflected the picture.
The wind and waves were howling, and there were even deafening explosions that sounded like thunder!
So shocking!
Is this the battle for the top spot among heroes? A true battle among the top, a fight between gods! The martial arts and divine cultivation of the Jianghu monks who were able to rush to the capital of gods were not too weak, but at this moment, they only felt trembling.
Too strong! Too exciting! The most important thing is Li Che's miraculous means. He was able to control the peach wood sword through the divine secret technique and pierce the body of the golden lion king transformed by the golden haired beast, seriously injuring him! Many people have actually seen this sword of Li Che before.
When Li Che fought against Zhang Xuanlei, he also used this sword.
But he never thought that even the golden-haired beast of the Four Martial Saints could not block this sword!
What kind of power does this sword have? !
When Li Che controlled the mechanical beast to release the same invincible mechanical skills that Xixi used to defeat the young dragon, everyone burst into an uproar.
When the half-step-to-peerless mechanical beast Xiao Yinglong King opened his mouth and fired a terrifying mechanical lotus bomb.
It was as if a world-destroying lotus flower was blooming in the peach forest, and a gorgeous mushroom cloud was rising.
Even though they were separated by the water curtain of the Milky Way, everyone couldn't help but feel a doomsday aura spreading.
"My daddy is invincible!"
Xixi stood at the edge of the white jade square, with her hands on her hips and her belly sticking out, looking proud and complacent.
These fireworks are worthy of being Daddy, they are much more beautiful than Xixi's!
However, Xixi also figured out what was going on. Daddy really had something hidden. He didn't let Xixi set off such amazing fireworks...
And just when Xixi was distracted.
The exclamations rang out continuously, causing Xixi to rub her big eyes and look towards the Tianhe water curtain.
Then...
The whole place fell silent, as if they had been hit hard by a sledgehammer. Everyone was silenced and unable to make a sound.
Silence, complete silence.
Because, a picture appeared within the water curtain of Tianhe River.
In the picture...
The monk Jialuo, who seemed to be living a second life in the Buddhist land of the Western Regions, suddenly jumped up and tried to control the golden-haired beast.
Once the Golden-haired Lion is controlled, subdued and converted by Monk Jialuo, Li Che will then have to face two top-level powerful heroes.
If that happens, Li Bansheng, who was originally firmly sitting on the top position, is likely to encounter an unexpected change.
Although Li Bansheng might not be afraid of fighting one against two, but when he was fighting with the golden-haired beast and both were injured, someone suddenly intervened and took away the victory. It must have been a big blow to him, right?
Then……
While everyone is still worried.
Then he saw Li Che suppressing and crushing Monk Jialuo with an almost overwhelming force.
With just a flick of his finger, a brilliant lightning sword ball flew into the center of Monk Jialuo's eyebrows.
Chop off his head!
Blood mist was flying everywhere, red and white were flying endlessly.
Both the golden-haired lion and the heroes who were watching the battle from the water curtain of Tianhe River were stunned.
Is that monk... a fool? Doesn't he know how to hide?
Was he just waiting foolishly for Li Bansheng's sword to pierce through his forehead, explode in his skull, and crush his life force to death?
At this moment, not only the people in the martial arts world were surprised, even the leaders of the major sects, the top-notch masters, and the top gods all showed expressions of surprise and doubt.
"Is this... the divine domain of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect?"
"The chessboard is interwoven, very similar to the divine domain formed by the projection of the strange gate by the Purple Mansion Divine Sect with the help of the pressure of the temple god... How could Li Che have such a method?"
"It's not that Jialuo didn't try to hide, but he couldn't. There was a terrible pressure pressing on his body, making him unable to move or control his body, so he looked like an idiot."
…
The leaders of the major divine sects all have extraordinary vision. They have experienced a lot and naturally understand Jialuo’s current situation.
It was as if they were facing the terrifying pressure of a true Divine Tribulation Realm master.
Their performance will not be much better than Jia Luo's at this moment.
The cultivators in the Divine Tribulation Realm are too powerful and too terrifying, so powerful that even this world cannot accommodate them. They are not tolerated and are sent down to be expelled by the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations.
But Li Che definitely couldn't be a divine calamity, but why would Jialuo, with his cultivation, end up in this situation? Jialuo's cultivation was not weak either. Although he was crushed by the golden-haired beast, it was because Jialuo was calculating against the golden-haired beast. If they really fought, Jialuo would have barely reached the realm of the Four Divine Transformations of the Divine Embryo...
However, Jialuo, who was at this level, acted like a divine fetus in front of Li Che and was killed instantly.
He had no power to fight back and was no match for him at all.
The leader of Zifu Divine Sect, Zhang Wuji, had flying hair and beard, and the whisk in his hand was swaying slightly.
It was obvious that the mood of the leader of the Dajing First Divine Sect was not as calm as his face showed.
"Divine Realm?"
“Not really…”
"Why does it look like... the power of a Daoist?"
"Unfortunately, I can't sense the truth through the Tianhe Ruyi Hairpin."
This moment.
The eyes of many powerful men flickered and their hearts were shaken.
…
…
Within the seven thousand year old Peach Garden.
The entire Pantao Garden was filled with smoke and dust, and the soil on the ground had completely quadrupled in thickness.
The soft soil was splashed up and then scattered again. The growing frost grass had already been tangled up and was in a mess.
Hot dust floats in the twisted, high-temperature ruins.
The restriction on the peach tree is still glowing.
The entire Pantao Garden was silent, with only the sound of the whistling wind, the rolling dust, and the rustling of leaves.
The Buddha's light on the golden-haired beast exploded completely and turned into dust.
There was still confusion and palpitations in his eyes...
So scary!
It’s really terrible!
Even the unruly golden-haired lion felt as if he was walking around in front of death.
The future incarnation of the third incarnation of Monk Jialuo came back to life and plotted against him. From the mark of Buddha's light, it can be sensed that Monk Jialuo's divine cultivation is not weaker than his at the peak level.
But……
But he was defeated by Li Che in seconds! Jinmaohu felt that it was a bit unreal.
If you, Li Che, have this ability, then why did the Golden Haired Hound fight with all his might and get covered in wounds? If you, Li Che, have the ability to kill the monk Jialuo in a second, then you probably... also have the ability to kill the Golden Haired Hound in a second, right?
So, Li Bansheng previously...
Are you teasing the dog?!
The golden-haired beast stammered for a while, and then its golden hair drooped completely.
“I give in…”
"I give in."
"I am willing to admit defeat. I lost this bet."
Whoosh whoosh…
The wind and waves blew past, raising clouds of dust.
The golden-haired beast no longer suppressed his injuries. A muffled groan came from his throat, and then a mouthful of scarlet blood slid down the corner of his mouth. The conspicuous color made the golden-haired beast look even more miserable.
The fire burning in his eyes seemed to have completely died down. With a complicated look in his eyes, he looked at the young face with fluttering black hair and a spotless body.
It's really young.
The Golden Haired Hound is already in his forties, but Li Che... I heard that he is only twenty-five years old. It is really incredible that he can have such powerful strength at such a young age.
In a trance, the golden-haired beast seemed to see the shadow of the Great Witch God on Li Che's young and gentle face.
Just like the great wizard god in his youth, extremely mysterious and powerful.
I heard that the Great Witch God was extremely powerful when he was young. He even went deep into the depths of Guique and into the camp of gods. He fought with the extremely powerful temple gods and the demons and evil creatures in the depths of Guique!
或许，眼前这个年轻人，也会达到这样的高度。
一念及此，金毛犼彻底服气了。
或许，追随这样的年轻人，也不错？金毛犼因为金太岁的事情，特意调查过李澈，知晓这个近乎缔造了传说一般的青年。
六年前，好像还只是一座小城中微不足道的木雕搬工，在一个金毛犼几乎没有概念的小小木雕铺中艰难求生。
而短短六年时间，李澈的实力便从无到有，成长到了如今的高度，甚至将他这位巫神山得意的大巫神弟子都给击溃镇压！
金毛犼对自己的修炼速度其实很满意了，哪怕是他的弟弟金太岁，其实都不如他，整座巫神山，不少弟子都为他的修炼速度而敬畏莫名。
可与李澈比起来，李澈的修炼速度……该是让人惊悚！“服了，那便好办了。”
李澈笑了笑。
随后，李澈便这般平静的看着金毛犼。
金毛犼头皮微微发麻，最后吐出一口气：“主人。”
话语出口，金毛犼有一种浑身力气都被抽干的感觉，曾经想过的屈辱、憋闷、绝望、羞耻，在这一刻，竟是纷纷没有涌上心头。
或许，是因为李澈屈指一弹，直接镇压秒杀了迦落和尚所带来的威慑吧。
这就是来自强者的慑服！
当然，也是因为李澈在开启【胜天道域】的过程中，虽然主要针对的还是迦落，却也并未避讳金毛犼。
因此，金毛犼也感知到了道域的压迫，那天威落下，将迦落和尚的修为直接压到了与李澈一样的神胎一神变的境界……
让金毛犼也有种修为跌落的错觉。
所以，金毛犼才乖乖被慑服。
不服……
可能得死！
他金毛犼，虽然耿直，虽然莽，但是不蠢！“嗯，乖。”
李澈笑了起来。
心情顿时灿烂了起来。
随后，李澈五指一攥，那洞穿金毛犼肩头的雷击桃木七星剑，顿时被抽取而出，带起一蓬飞溅的血液。
“主人，我金毛犼愿赌服输请收下我的魂印。”
金毛犼抬起手，点在眉心，下一刻，一枚闪烁光辉的魂印便漂浮而出。
这是金毛犼天地魂的本源凝结。
李澈眉毛一挑，很满意金毛犼的态度与自觉，这金毛犼……的确是很耿直，与金太岁不愧是兄弟，确实是耿直的两兄弟。
金太岁也是愿赌服输。
金毛犼倒也没差多少。
李澈也没有客气，收下了金毛犼的魂印，随意的扔到了天地棋盘之中。
魂印在李澈手中，等于说金毛犼的生死都将被李澈所一念操纵，只要李澈愿意，心神一动，就能够将金毛犼的魂印捏爆，继而摧毁金毛犼的灵魂，收取其性命。
魂印被收，金毛犼心中顿时生出了一股怅然若失的生理反应。
但是面对李澈，却是平添多了几分来自生理层面上的敬畏。
“主人。”
金毛犼化作人身，抱拳道。
“我还是喜欢你那黄金狮子王的姿态，桀骜不驯的态度，我很欣赏。”
李澈道。
金毛犼闻言顿时一怔，深吸一口气，一咬牙，身躯开始膨胀变化，金色狮鬃炸开飞扬，通体呈现黄金色泽，熠熠生辉。
李澈眉心泥丸，七窍玲珑心微微跳动，旋即，一团无垢心神性涌入了金毛犼的身躯之中，使得金毛犼的伤势瞬间恢复，那不断破坏着他五脏六腑的神霄狱雷剑意，亦是消散不见。
金毛犼：“(⊙o⊙）！”
什么东西在他体内溜达了一圈？！
而且……好舒服啊！伤势恢复的速度，加快了太多，简直比起四御位阶的疗伤天丹都要来的厉害！
因为，金毛犼很清楚自己体内的伤势到底有多严重！
那神霄雷……
特娘的可是三灾级别的力量啊！虽然只有一丝丝，但是……也折磨的他欲仙欲死，若非为了维持他黄金狮王桀骜的姿态以及威严。
他早就倒在地上打滚了！李澈没有皆是无垢心神性的意思，金毛犼既然已经成了自己人，李澈也不介意给他一些甜头。
“主人，还要！”
金毛犼扭动黄金狮子头，鬃毛抖动，两只铜铃大的眼睛，看着李澈，有几分渴望。
李澈脚尖轻轻一点，整个人腾空而起，侧坐在了黄金狮子王的背部，揉了揉松软的狮鬃。
随手点出了些无垢心神性给黄金狮子王。
要知道……
这无垢心神性，可是连大监正的那头玄龟妖王都无比渴望的。
黄金狮子王拥有妖皇血脉，自然……也能感受到无垢心神性对其的吸引！
“吼~~~~”
金毛犼张口一声大吼吼到后面都发出了颤音。
舒坦！
这下，金毛犼是彻底服气了。
难怪自己那愚蠢的弟弟不愿回归，甚至不惜背叛大巫神，不，不是背叛，那是秉持大巫神的教诲，不愿欺骗他人，秉持本心。
请...您....收藏_6_9_书_吧（六//九//书//吧）
他金毛犼也是这样！
“去前面看看。”
李澈道。
金毛犼迈开爪子，在废墟中行走，每一步落下，恐怖的狮王气魄宣泄而出。
因为，他也已经感受到了远处地面之中，慢慢滋生而出的气息。
砰——！！！泥沙炸开，碎石飞溅。
一道身影从中飞速的跃然而出，抓握着黄金八环法杖，面色煞白，难看至极。
大红袈裟风中飞扬，迦落僧人盯着李澈，满是忌惮，满是凝重！
太可怕了……
那神域，简直如魔狱般，让他绝望！
就像是直面顶级绝巅，顶级大神般的压抑与绝望！这人怎么会这么强啊？！
“李半圣！”
迦落僧人长长吐出一口气，赶忙喊道。
“我认输！”
迦落僧人高声道。
他只剩下一尊现在身了，若是再被杀灭，那他就真的要死在这儿了。
“认输，要有认输该有的态度，不是嘴上说说便是了。”
李澈淡淡道。
心神一动。
雷击桃木剑七星剑悬浮而起。
滋滋滋——
无数的雷霆充塞交织在了桃木剑之上，其上的七颗星辰纷纷被点亮！神霄狱雷剑，蓄势待发！
李澈发现，有了这雷击桃木剑后，他神性一道上的杀伐，不再只有法天象地那么单一了，吕玄剑仙神胎加上桃木剑，再加上雷磁道体……
能够将神霄狱雷剑的威能完全发挥出来。
迦落立刻明白过来，飞速从乾坤玉中取出了一颗水灵灵的蟠桃。
将蟠桃以心神操纵，递给李澈。
然而……
李澈收下了蟠桃之后，桃木剑依旧交织着雷霆，暗黑色的雷霆交织抽击，空气都迸发出了焦灼的气息。
迦落愣住，还要啥？！忽而。
迦落和尚脸一黑，看着那面带温和笑容的李澈，顿时明白了什么。
是谁说这位李半圣，老实本分的？！
迦落和尚摘下了自己的乾坤玉，满是心痛，悲愤欲绝。
若是可以，他现在立刻马上沟通西王母神性，退出这蟠桃林。
可是没办法啊。
李澈的神域，封锁了他以西王母神性退出的路径。
也就是说……
李澈要杀他，是真的能杀他！为了活命，迦落和尚还是将乾坤玉交给了李澈。
“李半圣，请收下贫僧满心炽热的馈赠。”迦落和尚脸上挂着诚挚的笑容说道。
李澈也没有客气，直接撕开乾坤空间，将乾坤玉给扔到了里面。
随后，散去了胜天道域。
迦落和尚持握黄金八环权杖，竖掌作揖。
“多谢。”
话语落毕。
迦落和尚仿佛在这蟠桃园中一刻都不想多呆，立刻沟通西王母的神性，直接离开了蟠桃园。
呼呼呼——
微风拂动。
李澈盘坐在黄金狮子王松软的背后，像是坐在真皮座椅上般，别说，真很舒服。
心神一动，一颗颗蟠桃，便纷纷悬浮而起。
迦落、玉观音还有金毛犼的三颗蟠桃，纷纷悬浮在了李澈面前。
再加上李澈自己的那颗。
便是四颗七千年蟠桃尽数凑齐。
“嘿……”
“还多出一颗。”
“皇后娘娘应该不会让我把这颗蟠桃交出去吧？舍不下这份脸，毕竟，这是我凭本事摘到的蟠桃。”李澈笑了起来，顺便大声的开口说话。
惹得身下的金毛犼一脸疑惑。
整个蟠桃园，就剩他们主仆二人，难不成那多的颗七千年蟠桃要送给他吃？
金毛犼顿时激动了下。
李澈却是仿佛知晓了金毛犼的心思。
拍了拍其脑袋。
“七千年蟠桃喂狗？想屁吃呢。”
金毛犼：“……”
那你喊那么大声装什么啊？！李澈笑了笑，没有过多解释，将多出的一颗螭龙血蟠桃给收起，剩余三颗蟠桃凑齐。
多出一颗蟠桃，李澈收起来没有任何的毛病，反正也不会没收。
只不过，这样一来，这座七千年蟠桃园内，就一颗七千年蟠桃都没有了。
李澈感到深深的遗憾。
他本来还想要在这个七千年蟠桃园中留下一颗飞雷棋子了。
以后好时常来光顾。
“可惜，六千年和八千年的蟠桃园……我没法走一遭，没法留下我宝贵的飞雷棋子。”
李澈心中轻叹了一口气。
If you want to join other Peach Gardens, there seem to be rules and restrictions, but I don’t know what the rules are.
However, Li Che is now quite satisfied.
Boom boom boom——
It was like a sound like the evening drum and the morning bell, which suddenly exploded, as if in the depths of the Peach Garden, an ancient god struck the heavy ancient bell, forming layer upon layer of invisible sound waves, spreading throughout the ruined seven thousand year old Peach Garden.
"Li Che, the number one hero of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, has successfully gathered three 7,000-year-old peaches and advanced to the fourth round of the Heroes' Victory Competition, becoming the champion of this year's Heroes' Victory Competition!"
"Successfully ascended to the 9,000-year-old Peach Garden!"
…
…
The second city of the divine capital.
On the White Jade Square.
There was a divine interweaving, rolling like a dragon and snake, and then transformed into the embarrassed figure of the monk Jialuo.
The monk Jialuo staggered two steps and left the Shengtian Dao domain. The compressed power returned, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
There was silence all around, and gazes were cast towards me rapidly.
This made the monk Jialuo feel like he was being stabbed in the back.
"Amitabha."
The monk Jialuo dusted off his cassock. Having his two Dharma bodies cut off was an extremely sad thing for him. The most important thing was that not only did he not get a single peach, but he also lost the Qiankun Jade.
There was no way, it was right for him to be taken away as a trophy, otherwise Li Che would kill him... and still be able to take the Qiankun Jade.
"My Qiankun Jade...is not so easy to obtain."
The monk Jialuo took a deep breath.
Then his gaze turned and fell on the Great Master Huangmei in the main banquet area of Xiaolingyin Temple.
He nodded slightly towards the Yellow-browed Master.
This caused the Yellow-browed Master to be slightly startled, but he then reacted, smiling and nodding in response.
The moment the monk Jialuo left the White Jade Square and returned to the main banquet area, the entire square suddenly exploded with brilliant cheers! "It's done, it's done!"
"The leader of the Heroes' Victory Conference...is our Great Jing Monk!"
"Li Bansheng is amazing! Li Bansheng is truly invincible!"
"Li Bansheng is the champion of heroes, and his daughter Li Nuanxi is the champion of young dragons! In a Peach Banquet, the father and daughter are both the champions! The Qianyuan Divine Sect alone is the only one to hold both the champions! Oh my God!"
…
The cheers were overwhelming and exploded outside the second and third cities of the Divine Capital.
The people cheering in the Second City of Divine Capital were, without a doubt, the disciples of Qianyuan Divine Sect. They were so excited that their faces turned red.
Xixi even put her hands on her hips, sticking out her little belly, and laughed out loud.
The friends were so excited that they could hardly contain their emotions.
They all ran over frantically. Even a calm girl like Yun'e could not hide her excitement. Together with Xixi, a group of children from the Qianyuan Divine Sect cheered and jumped on the white jade square that was the focus of everyone's attention.
The water curtain of Tianhe River is pouring down and splashing continuously.
But it couldn't cover up the children's joyful laughter.
On the White Jade Square, the heroes and young dragons from the major divine sects all looked at this scene with complicated and envious expressions.
A divine sect was the only one that won the top prizes of both the Hero and the Young Dragon at the Peach Festival, and moreover, a father and a daughter won them at the same time!
Such a grand occasion...
How rare!
No, it should be said that this has never happened since the Peach Festival was held!
Ji Moli sat behind the main banquet table, wearing black armor that clanged loudly. He looked deeply at Xixi, wondering what he was thinking about.
Lotus Pavilion.
Xie Yunshen, the commoner national teacher, stroked his beard and chuckled: "What a great Qianyuan Divine Sect... to have this father and daughter, they are simply very lucky."
Lu Chi looked at the children who were happily jumping with Xixi with loneliness and envy.
Unfortunately, he is no longer eligible to join.
Main banquet area.
The emperor and the empress sat behind the table. The empress listened to Li Che's loud, clear and frank voice coming from the water curtain of Tianhe River, and a dazed look appeared on her graceful face...
She couldn't help but pursed her vermilion red lips and murmured softly.
"No more... not a single one is left..."
"My seven thousand year old Peach Garden has been emptied!"
The queen looked dazed and her mentality was fluctuating violently.
The emperor was also speechless at this time, and he also realized that something was wrong.
How is it possible that there is not a single peach left in the seven thousand year old Peach Garden?
The queen who is in charge of Peach Garden would never do such a thing.
Even if it was for the Peach Festival, the number of peaches should be estimated in advance...
"My Queen, did someone steal the peaches?!"
The emperor asked in a deep voice.
The queen came back to her senses and forced a smile.
"His Majesty……"
"Don't be anxious, Queen. Use the Tianhe Ruyi Hairpin to review it."
"If that doesn't work... during the temple god resonance ceremony, let's try to communicate with the West Queen Mother Temple God and see who is so bold as to steal the peaches of my Dajing royal family!"
The emperor said in a deep voice.
The Queen's expression changed slightly.
Communicate with the West Queen Mother Temple God?! Indeed, they don’t know who stole the peaches…
But how could the Queen Mother of the West not know?! Just as the emperor and the queen were thinking about it.
There were thunderous cheers coming from inside and outside the second and third cities of the Divine Capital.
The two of them couldn't help but lower their gazes and look towards the Tianhe water curtain.
In the water curtain of Tianhe River...
Li Che steps on auspicious clouds.
Floating into the nine thousand year old Peach Garden!
When the queen saw this vague scene, her eyes narrowed and an extremely bold idea came to her mind!
This person's attitude...
I wonder if the thousand-year-old Peach Garden that has been sealed for so long...
Will it be opened for him?! Second update! I am a little tired of writing, this chapter has a little less words, two months, and it has been recommended with average effect. Lao Li is also a little annoyed. Please don’t stop reading and continue to PK recommend. It’s the last day of this month. Please vote for the monthly ticket, please vote for the recommendation, please read. Lao Li thanks you! I will continue to push tomorrow. I feel that I can reach 500,000 words this month! (End of this chapter)
