Chapter 364: Entering the Shuijianzhen Pavilion

After passing on a little bit of Qi Refining Realm cultivation experience to the two of them, Chen Luo said goodbye to the two of them. There was no need to give them any more resources. He had left some behind last time and they have not been used up yet. The outcome of practicing in this extraordinary place has already been determined for the two of them. This is the path they chose, and Chen Luo has no intention of changing them. This matter was already discussed when he came back last time.

After leaving the southwest region, Chen Luo did not return to the capital, but flew all the way. Half a day later, he returned to Qingya County again.

The county seat is still the same.

This is the only way to return to the entrance of the tomb. Chen Luo stayed in mid-air, his consciousness spread out, and he found his junior sister He Min again.

He Min spent the three days in a hurry. After she finished arranging her own affairs, she returned to the small courtyard behind Ma Laizi again.

A man was sitting in the yard, as if waiting for something.

Sitting next to He Min was a bald, shriveled old man. The old man kept mumbling something, as if he was yearning for something, but also looking forward to it.

"Let me tell you, what Uncle Chen did was so unethical. After all, I called him 'senior brother' for several days, but he didn't come to see me this time. I ate a lot less for him when I was a kid. A chicken drumstick? Now that I think about it, I feel bad! When I see him this time, I must tell him something."

The old man's nagging voice reached his ears.

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Luo immediately guessed the identity of the bald old man.

He was Xiaohu, the only son of Ma Laizi's senior brother and uncle Ruan Jianglong. That little kid wearing crotchless pants called his senior brother outside and asked him to take him to cultivate immortality.

Time flies.

The child in the past has now become a rickety old man, sitting next to He Min and talking non-stop, even the uneasy tension between his eyebrows has not changed.

Ruan Xiaohu also practiced martial arts, and his martial arts skills were not weak. It's a pity that he, like He Min, has no spiritual roots. Even if Chen Luo wants to lead them into Taoism, they have no chance. Not everyone can pick up a royal brain and change their destiny.

"What are you going to say?"

"Of course it is." Ruan Xiaohu raised his hand subconsciously, but mid-sentence, he suddenly stopped.

He Min next to him also stood up.

Their eyes fell on Chen Luo who suddenly appeared in the yard.

"Senior brother."

"Senior brother!! You are finally back. Do you know how much I have missed you these years?"

Looking at the two old friends, a smile flashed across Chen Luo's face. Ruan Xiaohu's condition is a little better than that of He Min, and he still has at least more than ten years to live. In comparison, He Min's condition is much worse. The longevity yuan that Chen Luo lent her had entered the countdown. She returned here after handling her own affairs, presumably waiting for him.

"Is there any unfinished business?"

Chen Luo asked.

"have."

He Min looked at the senior brother in front of him, turned around and walked to the nearby yard, kicked a few sandbags aside, stretched out his hands and assumed the same stance as when he first met Chen Luo.

"Brother, let's fight again, using only martial arts."

"good."

Chen Luo nodded and walked into the courtyard.

He restrained his spiritual power and simulated the internal power that he had not used for a long time. Just like the scene in his memory, the two stood opposite each other, with one person watching.

"This time, I will definitely not lose!"

He Min jumped up and punched out like wind.

This was a move used by Chen Luo, and He Min always remembered it.

Chen Luo raised his hand and took it.

Fists and palms struck each other, the setting sun passed through the two of them, illuminating the yard in orange, and the silhouettes were reflected on the wall, as if time had been frozen.

Walking out of the yard, Chen Luo looked a little disappointed.

Ruan Xiaohu followed behind, his expression a little uncomfortable.

He Min won. She had practiced martial arts all her life and won the last round in her life. Maybe it was Chen Luo who asked her, or maybe it was the result of her hard work. In short, she punched Chen Luo in the chest with her last punch, and she never woke up after that.

The two sent He Min back to the room and notified the He family to come over and deal with the aftermath.

Chen Luo applied a spiritual power to He Min's corpse to ensure that the corpse would not decay and would not be affected by the aura of the tomb and become a refined corpse.

"Uncle Chen, have you become an immortal?"

The two of them left after the He family arrived.

While walking on the road, Ruan Xiaohu suddenly asked.

He had been holding back this question for a long time. Looking at Chen Luo whose appearance remained unchanged, he felt envious from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Not only Chen Luo has said this, but also Immortal Master Du Jian and Immortal Master Xie Shuang in the capital have confirmed this.

I have been looking forward to it all my life, but I don’t even have the qualifications to get started.

"It's not like I might have a chance to become an immortal in the future."

Chen Luo didn't know how far away the realm of immortals was from him. As far as he could see, there were only two realms above.

Nascent Soul, Transformation of God.

The road to becoming a god has been cut off, and many people are looking for an opportunity to become a god.

"But in my opinion, you are already an immortal."

Ruan Xiaohu was walking next to him. He was already old, and He Min's departure was a big blow to him. Unlike Chen Luo, Ruan Xiaohu and He Min have known each other for more than eighty years. With the departure of the older generation, Ruan Xiaohu has fewer and fewer acquaintances. Today, even He Min has left.

The only elder in his memory was Chen Luo.

"Compared to ordinary people like us, you have an immortal lifespan, the ability to control wind and rain, and you can even control ghosts."

Ruan Xiaohu said nonchalantly.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes just as he spoke.

"Brother, when Sister He goes there, you must take good care of her, and don't let her be bullied by the little devils. When I was lazy as a child, Sister He also took care of me in this way. She bought me many chicken legs. At that time, my father didn't let me eat them, saying that I didn't practice well. Every time I was beaten, Sister He would come to see me. I was afraid that she would be bullied over there."

"I will."

Chen Luo was silent.

The two walked all the way back to the Ruan family.

The original escort agency of the Ruan family had long been gone. After the death of Ruan Jianglong's generation, Ruan Xiaohu contracted out the escort agency business and moved to Qingya County to open a martial arts school here. It has been opened for most of his life. Now the Ruan family martial arts school is very famous in Qingya County. Most of the yamen runners in the county government are Ruan Xiaohu's apprentices.

In Qingya County, what he said was more effective than the county magistrate.

All the way, Ruan Xiaohu kept bragging to Chen Luo about his experiences over the years. He hadn't been so happy to tell his elders about his experiences for a long time. It seemed that only at this moment, he returned to his childhood and became the naughty snotty kid again.

Night.

Chen Luo used his spiritual power to help Ruan Xiaohu comb his body and left him a few pills.

After doing this, he stood up and pushed the door and walked out.

The cold long street, the sound of the bamboo tube of the night watchman came from other streets.

Stepping on the bluestone long street, the moonlight fell from above. Originally, Chen Luo was going to leave directly, but he didn't want to sense a familiar breath before leaving. He walked to the end of the long street and saw an ancient courtyard here.

Chen Luo had been to this courtyard before.

After the chaos in Qingya County, he accidentally entered here. This courtyard was the only one that was not affected at that time. He also found a painting in the study in the courtyard and knew a person called "Wang Chengguan".

Now more than 80 years have passed, and the courtyard is still the same as in memory.

The changes in Qingya County have not affected this place, and everyone subconsciously avoids it.

Creak

Chen Luo pushed the door open and walked in.

There were some weeds growing in the yard, but they were not tall, as if someone was repairing them. The stone table and stone bench in the yard glowed white in the moonlight, the grids on the chessboard were crisscrossed, and the black and white chess pieces were like gems, glowing with fluorescence.

The study opposite was still the same as in his memory, and Chen Luo saw another painting on the table.

The pen was still "Wang Chengguan".

Retracting his consciousness, Chen Luo walked into the yard again. He searched the yard carefully and looked through all the books in the study, but found nothing unusual. This seemed to be an ordinary small courtyard, no different from Ruan Xiaohu's home.

'Fishing for the moon in the water, you can only see the real pavilion when you enter the water. '

When Chen Luo walked to the bed, the newly acquired fourth-level array master brain suddenly gave a suggestion.

Chen Luo stopped and looked back at the pool in the yard. The high-hanging bright moon was perfectly reflected on the pool water. The water surface was like a mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky. Chen Luo walked to the edge of the pool and saw the fish swimming in it.

An abandoned courtyard with no one living in it, where did these fish come from?

Back in the yard, Chen Luo used his spiritual sense to detect it, and he really found a node in the water.

It was a formation.

"It's a very profound formation, and the arrangement method is different from that in Tiannan Region."

Chen Luo walked to the edge of the pool and looked for a long time but couldn't find the second node. So he reached out and took out a straw man for curse from his sleeve.

Going into the water to test, the curse straw man is more useful than the talisman paper man.

Putting the curse straw man on the ground, Chen Luo stretched out his index finger. A little spiritual light gathered at the fingertips, and the curse power extended over. The stiff curse straw man's eyes immediately lit up, a scarlet light flashed, and his head looked left and right, then he stood up and walked to the edge of the pool and jumped in with a "plop".

A circle of ripples spread out.

The corresponding picture suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's mind.

After the cursed straw man entered the water, he did not sink to the bottom of the pool, but strangely "floated" out of the water.

As soon as this side entered the water, the other side immediately emerged from the water.

The scene was the same as the head here, and the other side was also this small courtyard, but the difference was that this underwater courtyard was actually in the daytime. The sky was sunny, and by the pond, a woman was beating Huanxi's clothes with a mallet, humming a song.

The yard not far away was also cleaned up. Chen Luo also saw a middle-aged man in a green gown in the study opposite. This person was painting in the study.

Perhaps he noticed Chen Luo's gaze.

The person painting in the study raised his head at the same time, and happened to look at the straw man on the surface of the pool.

"I wonder who it is, it turns out there's a guest coming."

The moment this person finished saying this, the cursed straw man floating on the water surface unexpectedly spontaneously combusted, and the body submerged in the water was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. The so-called "pond water" was completely unable to block this layer of flames. (End of this chapter)
