Chapter 70
After a hearty meal, Cheng Hui collapsed on the ground,
The two drank fish soup and ate rice, and also had sweet and juicy peaches as fruit after the meal.
After a hearty meal, Cheng Hui collapsed on the ground, feeling that this was the life he wanted!
Unfortunately... the world of cultivation does not support lazy people. If he wants to live the kind of retirement life he expects, he must at least improve his cultivation to a certain level, otherwise he will really encounter unexpected disasters while walking on the road.
He had fully experienced this when he was experiencing life and death at the beginning of his journey through time.
"Huh, enough rest." After lying there for about half an hour, Cheng Hui jumped up from the ground contentedly, patted the dirt off his body, and planned to continue exploring deeper into the woods.
Lin Qingyang had packed up his things and came to the river. Looking at the small silver fish in the river, he said regretfully, "What a pity. Ah Hui, you like them so much. It would be great if you could catch some and raise them."
Cheng Hui looked at the small fish with regret. Although these small fish were only as thick as a thumb, they tasted really good. He drank several bowls of the delicious fish soup in one breath. When he thought that he might never be able to drink it again, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
"Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do. We can't take this thing out to raise, and we don't have it on us..." Cheng Hui was muttering to himself when he suddenly remembered something.
Wait, there seems to be a small pond in the space inside his sea of consciousness. Can I put fish in it?
Speaking of which... he is still not sure what that space is. Is it a figment of his consciousness, or does such a space really exist?
Now there is a method that can be tried.
He grabbed a small silver fish, and with a thought, he appeared in that space.
There was a pool of clear spring water next to him. In the past, his attention had always been focused on the small villa. Now, looking at the clear spring and land here, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Could it be that my space can also speed up time and grow spiritual plants?
Facts have proved that...it is better to develop cheat codes as early as possible.
Cheng Hui saw the little silver fish swimming happily in the spring water, not feeling uncomfortable at all. Then he looked up at the vast fertile fields and suddenly felt that he had wasted a lot of time.
The talent that came from the Chinese blood began to stir. If he had time, he would have reclaimed all these pieces of land and planted various crops.
Don't ask, because if you ask, you will regret why you didn't discover earlier that he could farm here.
After returning to his body from the sea of consciousness, Cheng Hui said that he had a place to raise fish, so he wanted to collect some here.
Lin Qingyang had no doubts and did not ask any questions. He seemed to have accepted that Cheng Hui was hiding a secret that he did not know.
Cheng Hui felt a little touched. There might not be love between him and Lin Qingyang, but there was definitely trust.
Perhaps it was because the child who crawled out of the rubble didn't care about the miserable state of his body and hugged him and cried bitterly, he had already completely accepted him in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal his secrets for the time being. It was not that he didn't trust him, but he felt that the child was too young and should wait until he grew up.
The two of them caught a lot of small silverfish in the river. Cheng Hui found that the small silverfish liked a kind of blue-green water plants very much, so he transplanted some as well.
While Cheng Hui was cleaning up the little silverfish, Lin Qingyang took out a pair of scissors and quietly cut off a strand of his hair while Cheng Hui was still asleep.
Then, he cut off a strand of the same length from the end of his own hair, took out a red Qianyun silk thread, and mixed the two people's hair into it.
Lin Qingyang had very skillful hands. The black hair and the red ribbon were woven together and quickly turned into a black and red rope under his skillful hands.
His movements were very skillful, as if he had done it countless times before. Then he took out the largest jade bead, made a hole in it, and passed the rope through it.
Soon, a waist ornament with jade beads hanging on it was made. He tried it on Cheng Hui's body and thought it looked good, so he hung the waist ornament on his belt.
The round jade beads emit a lustrous glow. This seemingly inconspicuous accessory can effectively improve the efficiency of cultivation.
Lin Qingyang looked at the black and red rope and smiled with satisfaction.
"Hmm? What happened? You look happy?"
Cheng Hui opened his eyes and saw Lin Qingyang's satisfied smile, and a big question mark appeared above his head.
"Nothing." Lin Qingyang smiled and said, "I made a pendant for you. Do you like it?"
Cheng Hui looked down and saw the round jade bead. He picked up the red string and took a look at it, revealing a surprised expression: "Did you make this? You have such a skillful hand."
Lin Qingyang smiled but said nothing.
Cheng Hui took a closer look and touched it, and suddenly felt that the black part inside the red rope seemed a little strange. He carefully examined it and the more he looked at it, the more he felt... Why does it look like hair?
He instinctively touched the end of his hair, and sure enough, a small piece was missing...
Cheng Hui looked at Lin Qingyang, who also had a section of hair missing, with a frown on his face. He was... not surprised at all..._(:з」∠)_
Every time he thought he had done his best to restore the relationship between the two of them, this little brat would use various means to tell him, what the hell are you dreaming about?
It is impossible to distance oneself from the matter, and we can only try to maintain the status quo.
Being together from birth to the present day... This action with obvious hints really made Cheng Hui laugh and cry.
Forget it, maybe my actions made Lin Qingyang a little uneasy, so let's leave it this way for now...
Cheng Hui pretended not to notice anything and talked to Lin Qingyang about the monsters they had encountered before.
According to Lin Qingyang, the monster has the ability to disguise itself as Cheng Hui, and this disguise is almost flawless. If it weren't for the fact that his appearance was so different from Cheng Hui, Lin Qingyang wouldn't dare to say that he could definitely tell them apart.
Of course, as soon as the two of them started fighting, they would immediately discover something was wrong. After all, the monster was only disguising its appearance. Cheng Hui’s true strength could not be disguised, nor could he possess such a strong defense.
On the other hand, it is hard to say how good his attacking ability is. This kind of monster seems to be more inclined to use words to deceive promises.
At that time, he repeatedly asked Lin Qingyang to promise him that he was willing to give everything. If Lin Qingyang really said that, it would be hard to say what would happen next.
The Xuanheng Realm has developed for so many years, and people are still discovering some special abilities. Some of these abilities come from humans, and some come from monsters. It is said that there was once a prince of a small country who had the ability to make his wishes come true.
When this ability was revealed, the entire cultivation world was shocked, and the prince was captured for research.
Later, after some arguing, everyone discovered that there was a limit to the possibility of wishes coming true. Once the limit was exceeded, if the prince forced himself to make a wish, his body would collapse and his soul would be destroyed.
Therefore, Lin Qingyang never despises any monster, nor does he make any promises to that monster, even if it is just a seemingly useless verbal promise.
With their previous experience, the two agreed that they must not separate in the forest. If they were forced to separate due to an accident, they must exchange secret codes when they meet again. If the secret codes do not match, then they may have encountered a monster that can disguise itself.
There was nothing special in the forest. Apart from the desert where they came from, there was only a small hill in the distance that was not very high.
The two decided to go to the small hill first. Even if they didn't gain anything, they could still get a good look and determine the next direction.
Not long after they were taken into the forest, a monkey and a green snake came to where they lived.
They circled around there and finally came to the location of the small pile of black ash.
The monkey stretched out his paw to pick up some black ash and looked at the green snake next to him.
The green snake spit out its tongue, its expression solemn. It opened its mouth, but uttered a human voice: "Old Three is dead."
"I'm not blind." said the monkey dissatisfiedly.
The green snake glanced at him and said, "Judging from the traces, it should be human. How many years has it been? ...Finally, humans have appeared."
The monkey casually threw away the black ash and sneered, "So what if we're humans? With the state we're in now, do you think we'll have a good ending if we run into them? Look at the third brother, he didn't even leave a complete corpse."
The green snake stuck out its tongue and said calmly, "The time limit for the ancestral land is approaching, and the magic circle can no longer hold out. Either fight to the death, or stay and wait for death. Which one do you think those people will choose?"
The monkey showed a conflicted expression, and finally sighed: "How about we not tell them that humans have appeared? As long as we can keep it a secret..."
"Is it possible? You wouldn't know if you weren't guarding the magic circle. Not long ago, the magic circle produced a small fluctuation. This ancient tomb... may have been opened. I can keep it a secret, but can you guarantee that others won't encounter it? It will be the same then."
The monkey stamped his feet in frustration. "Damn it! Why did these people come in? If no one came in, we might be able to unlock the mechanism in the secret room. Then we might be able to escape. But once these people show up, the young people in the tribe will definitely be unable to resist... Alas!"
"It's just human nature." The green snake was very calm: "Compared to that illusory escape in the secret room, it's obviously easier to possess these humans."
"But can these people be defeated for free? Since they can open the ancient tomb, they are most likely cultivators. Our people only have a little disguise ability. How can we fight them? It's simply suicide!"
"What else? Even if you try to persuade them, will they listen? They've been locked up here for so many years, with no way out. Most of them have gone crazy. Even I... I'm not sure if I'm crazy."
He looked down at his green body and sneered: "Look at me, I am a snake now. I have been a snake for more than 800 years. Now I am transformed back into a human. I don't know if I can get used to it."
"Can't you persuade them?" The monkey looked at him expectantly.
"It's impossible to persuade them." The green snake sighed softly: "They have waited too long and are already desperate. Therefore, they will never let go of this only chance to escape."
"I just don't understand, what's so good about being outside? Can't we just stay here peacefully?" The monkey sighed and stared blankly at the sky.
The sky here is always mild and clear, the woods are rich in resources, and there are many small animals. They have no shortage of food and clothing here, so why should they go out?
"Maybe... freedom tastes too good." The green snake muttered to himself.
