How can mountains and seas be destroyed with a snap of your fingers?
The eight domineering words made Shen Qian stunned.
But he knew that Ling Xiao was definitely not bragging, there was no need.
In fact, among these senior brothers and sisters whom Shen Qian has known a certain extent, even the weakest Lao Liu is a ruthless person who can rival mountains and seas at the level of a high martial artist.
And Ling Xiao has been breaking through mountains and seas for who knows how long. If he can't kill ordinary mountains and seas instantly, he is not qualified to be a disciple of a big boss.
After Ling Xiao sat back, Wu Jun floated over, stuffed a small cloth bag into Shen Qian, and then floated back without saying a word.
Shen Qian pinched it and felt that there was a stone in it, and his expression froze...
When Shen Qian opened the bag and took a look, he breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought that the fourth senior brother had returned the opal he gave him.
Fortunately, Fourth Senior Brother still has some moral integrity, but... what is this?
Shen Qian picked up the irregular stone that exuded a faint green light, and felt a chill seep into his body.
"Soul Stone!"
The expressions of Shi Dingyan and others instantly became solemn, and they all glanced at Wu Jun with complicated eyes, as if they did not expect that the other party would give this to Shen Qian.
"What is the soul stone?" Shen Qian heard something unusual.
"It is said that a stone that only appears at the junction of yin and yang has the power of reincarnation, but..." Shi Dingyan stopped talking.
"Is it appropriate for you to give this to your junior brother?" Ling Xiao also frowned.
Only Lao Liu and Shen Qian were at a loss.
"Take it." At this time, the boss said softly.
Originally, Shen Qian hated everyone who only spoke half of the conversation, but since Gao Wenyuan took the initiative to end the topic, Shen Qian could only swallow the questions on his lips, accept the soul stone obediently and say thank you.
Just ask the omniscient Third Brother later.
Ling Xiao and Shi Dingyan looked at Liu Changqing, who had been immersed in drinking.
Being watched by several people, Lao Liu couldn't continue acting. He wiped his mouth and said uncomfortably, "...Why are you looking at me?"
"You didn't prepare a gift for your junior brother, did you?" Ling Xiao asked with a half-smile.
"How is that possible? Is it possible that I will forget it?"
Liu Changqing immediately denied it.
"Then why don't you take it out?" Shi Dingyan chuckled.
"Ahem, my gift is a bit special and cannot be given in person..." Liu Changqing explained.
Several people smiled and said nothing.
"It's okay, Sixth Senior Brother, there's no need to send me off, I know you don't have much money either..." Shen Qian tried to save Lao Liu.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Changqing exploded instantly, "I'm not rich? No matter how poor I am, I'm still better than a little brat like you. I just want gifts, take them!"
Liu Changqing took off a pendant from his chest and threw it to Shen Qian.
"...Changqing, are you serious?" Shi Dingyan seemed to know what it was, and his expression suddenly became weird.
"Of course!" Liu Changqing pretended to be disdainful, "I've already conquered mountains and seas, why do I need this kind of thing?"
"What is it?" Ling Xiao, who was curious, asked Shen Qian.
"Invisibility charm."
Shi Dingyan said three words first. Seeing that Ling Xiao was not very surprised, he added, "It was refined by King Taiyi."
"F*ck!" Ling Xiao heard this and suddenly uttered a rare curse word. He looked at Liu Changqing in disbelief, "This is your treasure at the bottom of the box, right? Are you going to give it away?"
Shen Qian didn't quite understand it, but he keenly caught the word "Taiyi King", so he gave up his intention to refuse and put the jade talisman away silently.
Who is King Taiyi?
The first person in science and engineering throughout history!
And unlike those scientists who have reached a dead end, he is a person who perfectly combines theology and engineering.
In terms of martial arts attainments, King Taiyi may not be as good as King Jiangling, but when it comes to his foundation in creation, King Taiyi is unmatched.
"Sixth Brother, I respect you!"
Shen Qian toasted Liu Changqing with a glass of wine. Seeing that the eighth senior sister Ji Ruoshui was still hanging her head as when she first arrived, as if she didn't mean anything, he picked up his glass and went to another table to toast.
"Changqing, you are really willing to give it up. That thing is equally useful to mountains and seas, right?" Ling Xiao watched Shen Qian walk away, but couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, it's not a great treasure. This kid is going to college after all, so he has to have something handy, so he doesn't count as someone who has lost me."
Liu Changqing actually wanted to be amused and sneered.
"...What if I told you that he made more than 500 million during this holiday?" Shi Dingyan still couldn't hold it back and said quietly.
"What did you say?" Liu Changqing stiffened and slowly turned his head, "Five hundred million?"
"A conservative estimate, the real number will only be more." Shi Dingyan chuckled, "Does it hurt?"
"I..."
Liu Changqing almost gasped.
After regaining his composure, Liu Changqing stood up and went to find Shen Qian, while Shi Dingyan and Ling Xiao looked at each other and laughed.
"Weak Shui is not feeling right today."
Shi Dingyan quickly turned his thoughts to another thing, glanced at the slim figure who had been silent throughout the whole process, and whispered.
Ling Xiao originally wanted to say something, but when he thought of something, he frowned and stopped talking.
"There are no mountains, no mausoleums, no rivers, no thunder in the winter, rain and snow in the summer. Asking what love is in the world... it's all false, it's all false!"
Wu Jun drank alone, shook his head and sighed.
Ji Ruoshui's body trembled, and his fingers that had been placed under the table turned white.
As for Gao Wenyuan, he entered a fugue state after drinking three drinks and did not participate in the conversation at all.
At this time, Liu Changqing came back with satisfaction.
"What did junior brother promise you?" Shi Dingyan asked curiously upon seeing this.
"After finishing the wine, take me to my junior brother's warehouse. He promised to give me two candle snakes. It just so happens that I need to sacrifice and refine weapons now, so they will come in handy."
Liu Changqing chuckled.
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. In terms of value, Liu Changqing's invisibility charm was much higher than the two candle snakes.
Liu Changqing's mentality was typical of Ah Q, deceiving himself and others, and Shi Dingyan didn't want to expose him.
Not long after, Shen Qian came back carrying a wine glass.
Many academy disciples also prepared congratulatory gifts, but Shen Qian only picked out some commemorative and inexpensive things and accepted them.
His senior brothers are all wealthy people, but these academy disciples are just warriors who are better than ordinary people. Shen Qian cannot get past the test of his heart by plucking them.
After another round of respect to the senior brothers, Shen Qian stood in front of Ji Ruoshui. He noticed the other person's nervousness.
Shen Qian didn't quite understand. The last time he saw Ji Ruoshui, he seemed to want to keep him here to eat peaches, but now he seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from him.
Shen Qian, who had never understood women, did not hesitate and said softly: "Eighth Senior Sister, during this time... thank you."
After saying that, Shen Qian did it by himself, and without waiting for Ji Ruoshui's reaction, he toasted the four elders of the academy, and finally came to the boss Gao.
Silently blowing on a bottle of buckwheat wine, Shen Qian fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed three times towards the figure in white who always had a gentle face.
It was only then that the inexplicable emotion of separation came to Shen Qian's heart, making the tip of his nose feel sour.
If he were not the appearance of the system, he would always be just a piece of dirt in this small border town. What achievements could he make in this muddy world?
But in a certain sense, the emergence of Gao Wenyuan is equally important to Shen Qian.
He will always feel at ease in Jingcheng.
This alone is better than anything else in the world.
Not to mention, the boss Gao also helped him cure his mother's illness.
This figure in white clothes seems to have been sitting in the Tower of Babel forever. Unknowingly, it has become the biggest bright light in Shen Qian's heart.
"Get up."
Gao Wenyuan withdrew his gaze from somewhere in the void. When Shen Qian stood up, he looked at Shen Qian for a while and then said with a faint smile, "I will give you a gift as well."
Shi Dingyan and others were both surprised and not surprised, but they couldn't help but feel a little sad.
No matter when they went out to study or practice, the boss Gao Ke never gave them a special practice gift.
Only Shen Qian is so special.
"What you lack is not resources or talent. What you lack most is actually time. Of all the billions of things in the world, true knowledge comes only through experience, so I will give you a chance."
"The wind is easy to borrow, and it will send you into the blue clouds."
After the boss Gao finished speaking softly, before Shen Qian could react what he meant, he had already flicked it.
Boom!
Amidst the violent sound of the wind, Shen Qian instantly reached a thousand meters altitude.
No, that's not right. When Shen Qian lowered his head, he clearly saw that "he" was still standing on the Tower of Babel.
Is this...an out-of-body experience?
While Shen Qian was thinking wildly, countless chaotic sounds rang in his ears.
"Boss, can I sell it for seven yuan?"
"Dad, please stop hitting me. Sister, he didn't mean it..."
"What are the City Lord's Mansion doing? I heard that scavengers have entered the city again recently..."
"..."
Shen Qian had a splitting headache, and it took him a while to get used to the countless noises.
He has clearly understood that these voices are the voices of countless people in Jingcheng.
At this moment, Shen Qian seemed like a god from above, and could hear the movement in every corner.
Is this the normal perspective of a teacher?
Just when Shen Qian had such a thought, an indescribable force enveloped him and swooped down towards Jingcheng.
"Shen Qian" instantly appeared in a private house.
He saw a couple quarreling, the woman was frantically searching for the marriage certificate, and the man was silently looking at the anniversary photos and smoking.
He appeared in an alley again.
A weak girl was being forced into a corner by a gangster, but what the gangster didn't know was that just around the corner there was a group of people holding sticks secretly taking pictures.
This is a hospital.
In the corridor on the left, a group of people were celebrating their new life. In the corridor on the right, a family was holding the cold corpse and crying.
……
Different scenes flashed before my eyes one after another.
Shen Qian also saw Gu Zifang who was arguing with his parents, and his father who was showing his mother the wrong exercises. He even saw Lao Wang hesitantly walking into a massage parlor...
Shen Qian's heart gradually calmed down.
He is no longer angry, no longer happy, no longer filled with indignation, and no longer sad.
He fell into a state of numbness, just watching with cold eyes the various human conditions in Jingcheng, and perhaps the various human conditions in the world.
In a trance, Shen Qian entered a strange state of detachment.
He began to think more about things he had never thought about before, and he began to learn to look at everything with a more objective attitude.
If he gains something.
When Shen Qian returned to the top of the Babel Tower and opened his eyes, the vicissitudes of his posture at that moment made Shi Dingyan and others look sideways.
It seems that the junior brother has not changed much, but they all know that the junior brother has been forcibly "ripened".
Observe the world!
This is a great magical power that belongs only to teachers.
It is not just the use of spiritual consciousness, but also the "Tao" of the teacher.
It is also the first time for the teacher to use this magical power on others.
Shi Dingyan and others, who had been relatively calm just now, could not help but feel jealous.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Shen Qian, who stood there for several minutes, finally broke free from that strange state. He covered up the vicissitudes of life in his eyes and knelt down again.
Only he himself knows what the experience just now meant to him.
This gift from the boss... is too heavy.
"Go ahead."
Gao Wenyuan nodded and said no more.
Shen Qian finally said goodbye to everyone on the Tower of Babel, glanced at Ji Ruoshui who was still silent, sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and strode away.
Not long after Shen Qian disappeared, Liu Changqing turned around and was about to call Shi Dingyan to go to the warehouse with him, but a figure ran past him like a wind, almost making Liu Changqing stagger.
"This is..."
Liu Changqing stared blankly at the graceful figure walking away with her robe, and then she opened her mouth and felt a little wet on her face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Some water droplets drifted from nowhere in the wind and hit him.
Shi Dingyan and others remained silent. Liu Changqing opened his mouth, wiped the salty moisture from his face, and could only shake his head and mutter.
"Women are trouble..."
……
"Junior brother!"
Shen Qian, who had already walked out of Babel Tower, turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound.
Under the sky that turned dark at some point, in the empty square, the figure holding the robe ran towards him.
The wind messed up her long hair and made her eyes red. On her flawless white face, there was sadness and reluctance that could no longer be concealed.
She stood in front of Shen Qian, but her steps became hesitant. She panted rapidly, but her head began to droop.
"I, I..."
"Sister."
Seeing this, Shen Qian took the initiative to take a few steps, and after a slight hesitation, he called softly.
"Huh?"
Ji Ruoshui raised his head and stared at Shen Qian with misty eyes.
"I... will write to you."
Shen Qian smiled, and finally raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of Ji Ruoshui's eyes, leaving a delicate piece of his hand.
Ji Ruoshui nodded heavily when he heard this, then took a deep breath, as if he finally mustered up the courage, and stuffed a white handkerchief into Shen Qian's hand.
After doing all this, Ji Ruoshui, whose cheeks were already red, turned around and ran away.
Shen Qian lowered his head curiously and unfolded the white handkerchief. There was a young man embroidered in the center of the handkerchief. He stood on the edge of Jingcheng with high spirits, staring into the distance, his eyes as bright as stars.
On the edge of the handkerchief, there are four extremely subtle small characters of "Juanxiu".
Shen Qian stared at those four words and fell silent.
He put the handkerchief away, came to the roadside and was about to take a taxi, when the melodious sound of a piano suddenly sounded in his ears.
The sound of the piano sounded far away, but it seemed that some mysterious power was transmitted to his ears.
He didn't know what the song was, but the lingering and pathos in it made Shen Qian unable to move forward.
His eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and he saw the figure sitting on the balcony of the 33rd floor of the Babel Tower. She was dressed in plain clothes, sitting behind the guqin, her eyes were staring at him, and her fingers were flying, as if she wanted to say what she didn't say just now. All the words spoken are placed in the sound of the piano.
Shen Qian thought of those four words again.
"I don't know where I started, I don't know where I started..."
Shen Qian murmured, finally not daring to stop, and hurriedly got into a taxi and headed straight to the airport.
……
After meeting Dao Jiu at the airport, the two boarded the flight to Jiangzhong.
"Wow, it's snowing!"
In the first class cabin, a child excitedly rushed to the window, pointed at the sky and shouted.
Snow?
Shen Qian also walked to the window and looked out.
Sure enough, Jingcheng, which had not snowed for who knows how long, was snowing heavily at this moment, covering the entire city in pure white.
"Doesn't Jingcheng have a weather control system? It's still autumn, why is it snowing?"
Dao Jiu also came over and said with some confusion.
"It's to...fulfill a child's wish."
Shen Qian didn't know what he thought of, and showed a knowing smile.
Dao Jiu looked confused, obviously not understanding what Shen Qian was talking about.
Shen Qian did not explain any more, but bowed deeply towards the window and somewhere in the distance again.
Amidst the roaring sound, the plane soared into the sky, and only someone's faint humming still echoed in the mid-air.
"It's been a long time since we parted, and the Spring and Autumn Period has been painted in ten years. Last year and this evening, I couldn't bear to worry about the falling snow. How could I imagine that thousands of miles away from the mountains, we were on the same starry river full of boats, filled with singing voices. Young people can fly across and go straight to the Mingyue Tower!"
