From the first night to the middle of the night, when the bright moon swam from the east side of Xiaoqingshan to the clear sky, the cave door finally slowly opened again under the nervous gaze of dozens of Freemasons.
Wei Changtian stood at the entrance of the cave with a calm expression, and behind him there was a strong smell of blood filling the silence.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Zhang San took the lead to greet him and at the same time raised his eyes to look deeper into the cave.
The result is undoubtedly that all fifty-two monsters have been killed.
"Well, it's okay."
Patting the lapel of his clothes, Wei Changtian casually glanced behind him: "Take care of the demon corpse, put away the demon spirit pill, and distribute the demon pill to these brothers."
"Yes, I understand."
Zhang San bowed his hands in response, and after making some simple arrangements, he returned to Wei Changtian again.
"Sir, are you going back home next?"
"Well...don't go back yet."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian walked to a wooden table at the entrance of the cave.
This is a place for the cave guards to rest. There are also several plates of peanuts and other side dishes on the table, as well as several pots of strong liquor.
He picked up a pot of wine and two clay bowls.
Wei Changtian turned to look at Zhang San, who looked confused, and suddenly smiled for no reason.
"Let's go to Yanyun Mountain."
...
...
Half an hour later, the top of Yanyun Mountain was reached.
On the seventh day of December last year, there was a battle here that few people knew about, but it was shocking enough.
In this battle, Wei Changtian showed his ability to kill the second grade for the first time.
In this battle, five second-level masters died.
It was also in this battle that Xiao Feng died at the hands of Wei Changtian, and with a little unwillingness and more freedom, he completely lost his identity as the "protagonist"...
Wei Changtian was actually not a sentimental person, and he rarely had time to mourn.
To be honest, when he really stood in front of Xiao Feng's grave, he didn't even know why he came here.
But since you're already here, let's stay for a while.
"Crack."
He sat down cross-legged, placed two clay bowls in front of him, and filled the bowls with wine.
Wei Changtian first picked up one of them, raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
Then, like a childish child, he suddenly picked up the other bowl.
"Hahaha, Xiao Feng."
"Did you think this bowl of wine was for you to drink?"
"Sorry, both bowls of wine belong to me!"
"Gudu Gudu~"
He raised his head and lowered his head, and the second bowl of wine went into Wei Changtian's stomach in the blink of an eye.
He smiled and touched his mouth, then poured a third bowl of wine.
The wine jug I picked up was not big, so after pouring this bowl, there was no more left.
Looking at the last bowl of wine, Wei Changtian did not drink it all this time, but just took a small sip slowly and muttered casually:
"Xiao Feng, you really killed me."
"If one of you dies, thirteen will appear."
"If I had known this, I might as well not have killed you."
"Oh, by the way, I have completely fallen out with Ning Yongnian now."
"In order to annex Dafeng, he killed three million people in Yuanzhou City in one go."
"He was not a good guy in the original novel. I remember that he was killed by you in the court in front of all the officials."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, but I'm brave enough to kill him with my own hands."
"I promised Mrs. Wei that I would give her this opportunity."
"As a human being, we have to keep our word, don't you think?"
"I almost forgot, I am not qualified to say this in front of you."
"..."
Shaking his head and looking at the night sky again, Wei Changtian suddenly took a deep breath and his expression slowly became disappointed.
"Xiao Feng, why do I have to work so hard like you?"
"You are the protagonist, no matter what you do, you can't die... Of course, I mean before I traveled through time."
"But what about me?"
"Although this broken system is somewhat useful, it is nothing compared to the ones written in the novels I read."
"I guarantee that one day he will kill me first before I kill Ning Yongnian."
"Then I'm too frustrated, right?"
"You tell me whether I want to continue or not. It's too late for me to stop now."
"When the time comes, I will live a peaceful life. That's what I planned from the beginning anyway."
"I'm asking you a question. If you have a spirit in the sky, please give me some feedback. It doesn't matter if there's a gust of wind or something."
"..."
"Yeah, it seems you still have to believe in science. The soul is all bullshit."
After muttering something quietly to himself for a long time, Wei Changtian finally became quiet for a while.
He didn't know why he was nervously saying all this to a graveyard man.
Maybe it's because there are some words that he can only say to the dead.
"Okay, I won't bullshit you anymore."
"I just broke through to the fourth level. I originally wanted to show off to you."
"But after thinking about it, I realized that if you hadn't died, you would be better than me by now, so I lost interest again."
"Here, I left half a bowl of wine for you."
"Drink slowly, I'm leaving."
"..."
Putting the remaining half a bowl of liquor on the grave without a tombstone, Wei Changtian slowly stood up and walked down the mountain without looking back.
The short grave mound watched alone as his figure disappeared, and the dense forest returned to silence.
Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew down from the sky.
They passed through the dense branches and leaves of the ancient trees and slightly shook the weeds in front of the grave.
The wine in the bowl rippled, as if answering the question that Wei Changtian already had the answer to.
...
...
It was already Yinshi when I returned to Xiaozhai from Yanyun Mountain.
The rooms of Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao were still lit by candlelight, but both of them were already dressed and fell asleep.
Without waking the two of them up, Wei Changtian yawned and found a guest room. After a brief wash, he lay down on the bed.
After killing fifty-two monsters, he finally broke through to the fourth level, and then he reached the third level of qualitative change.
However, this step is a bit difficult.
The internal skill I practice is the "Guiyuan Gong" of the Wei family. The biggest advantage is that there is no bottleneck in improving the realm below the fourth level, and everything can be achieved easily.
But the third grade has obviously exceeded this range, so it will no longer be as easy as this.
Not only do you need to accumulate enough internal strength, you also need to understand the "potential".
The most important thing is that you have to go through the so-called "heart".
According to Wei Xianzhi and others, this inner state of mind is different for everyone, and it is impossible to describe what it is in detail. Everything can only be understood after a breakthrough.
Wei Changtian is too lazy to think about these issues at the moment, but there are many similar settings in previous life novels for reference.
Although the names are different, they can generally be divided into categories such as "defeating inner demons", "enlightening the Tao", and "firming the Taoist heart".
I don’t know what kind of “heart” it is…
Forget it, it’s not easy for me to do either category anyway…
After thinking about it, Wei Changtian fell asleep before he could enter the "Dream Path".
Since getting the "Dream Dao", he had only had two days without "dreaming" while sleeping.
First, I just arrived in Shuzhou and drank too much on my birthday in my previous life.
The second was the night I got married to Comrade Xiao Xu.
So, this is the third time.
However, although he did not "dream", Wei Changtian did "dream" tonight.
In the dream, a vague figure stood in the chaos, and his voice sounded familiar.
"Wei Changtian."
"Since you have defeated me, you can definitely do what I can do."
