Baiyan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a pond of more than 3,000 acres in the center. It is one of the top ten leisure and tourist resorts in Nanshang Province, but it seems that not many people come here.
Someone rented a camping tent on the mountain. Wu Yunyan and Ye Mengyao also wanted to experience such an experience. They wanted to watch the sunrise the next day and stayed with Li Rui.
Wu Yunyan was initially unhappy with Ye Mengyao, but in the afternoon the two girls chatted with each other for a few words, slowly changed the topic, and actually became good friends.
Night comes.
The moonlight shines on the flat ground on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding ground is pale white.
Li Rui lay on the big rock, emptying his mind and feeling the changing weather and changes in the sky and earth within a hundred meters radius.
Wu Yunyan sat quietly next to her, looking at the small bungalow by the lake at the foot of the mountain in the dark night. The lights were shining and people were moving around. It seemed quite lively.
"Do you think there will be any retribution for people like these who harm tourists so wickedly?" Wu Yunyan suddenly spoke and looked seriously into Li Rui's eyes.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Li Rui's eyes were like a pool of spring water, smart, bright, full of life, and even more beautiful than before.
Thinking so, her face turned slightly red.
"Sometimes, evil refers to hurting others, right? For them, they think they do something that benefits themselves, but we are different. We have the same moral code of conduct." Li Rui replied with a smile.
.
The standards of good and evil vary from person to person, but he is not sure whether there will be retribution. He does not believe in fate, but he believes in cause and effect. There is always a certain connection between the occurrences of things.
"I didn't expect your views to be so unique." Wu Yunyan responded, holding up her chin and slowly approaching Li Rui.
"Is it unique? Haha!" Li Rui took a deep breath and said, "Maybe those people will receive retribution tomorrow?"
"That would be great!" Wu Yunyan said perfunctorily. She said this mainly to find a topic.
Song Yijun struck up a conversation with Ye Mengyao in front of the tent, but gave her a chance to be alone with Li Rui. She was struggling in her heart, her face became redder and redder, and she finally said: "What are your plans next?"
"What are your plans?" As soon as Li Rui asked, he realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere and knew that he had asked the wrong thing.
I heard Wu Yunyan muster up her courage and say, "The letter I wrote to you in the first year of high school is still valid."
Letter? It’s actually a love letter of confession, right?
This was the first love letter Li Rui received. He could no longer remember the content, but he knew what it expressed and who wrote it.
He turned to look at Wu Yunyan with more serious eyes. She was a good girl and he didn't want to delay her: "There is a secret, which is very absurd, but I have to tell you."
Wu Yunyan felt a thump in her heart.
Is it because Li Rui still can't let go of Zhou Qinwen?
Li Rui sat up, looked at the starry sky, and said: "Actually... although Zhou Qinwen and I broke up, I later gained a few more lovers, and my harem is already full."
Wu Yunyan rolled her eyes. This kind of rejection is so nonsense that only a ghost would believe it!
"Since you haven't thought about it yet, I'll give you this chance." After saying these words, she jumped off the big rock and walked towards the tent.
Li Rui smiled bitterly.
The surrounding area became quiet again, but no one noticed him at this time.
Li Rui stood up and ran away from another undeveloped mountain to the north under the cover of darkness.
Because the top of the mountain is surrounded by rock walls and there is no direct climbing route, the tourism bureau has not yet blasted open the rock to open a path for tourists to climb.
Li Rui stood under the stone wall, looking at the flat and vertical cliff, frowning.
It's difficult to get up without a point of strength.
"The place with the strongest spiritual energy should be at the top of this hill. We have to find a way to get up there."
He turned his head and looked through the woods to the small bungalow in the daytime.
The bungalow is only used as a farmhouse, selling some snacks and drinks, and has not been transformed into a B&B.
After Li Rui lurked on the second floor, he saw many shirtless men smoking cigarettes gathered here. Four people sat at a table, playing mahjong or cards.
"I asked why so many people rushed downstairs. It turns out this is a small casino!"
Li Rui shook his head, walked lightly, and went back to the first floor to search. He didn't find the hemp rope he wanted, but in a women's bedroom, he found a stack of money hidden at the end of the bed. He also opened the locked wooden cabinet.
, and there are more than 100,000 hidden inside.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, thinking of a way to make that ugly-faced aunt feel distressed.
"You don't have so much money in the bank, are you ready to burn it for me?"
emmm~
Thinking about it, Li Rui heard Wu Yunyan's question: "Is there really such a thing as retribution?"
"No, it should be a coincidence. It happens that people here don't have the habit of depositing money in banks."
Li Rui shook his head, got rid of the messy thoughts, searched the house for a while, and found a piece of wire.
He peeled it off easily and inserted it into the socket, but his hand suddenly stopped.
"electricity……"
"My nine-pole body-refining technique contains thunder and lightning. The artificial electric current has no owner and can be controlled. Body-tempering itself is a process of breaking and then building up. I have corresponding exercises that can turn it into energy for body-refining.
"
Thinking of this, Li Rui was eager to give it a try.
He grabbed one end of the exposed copper wire with one hand and carefully inserted the plug into the socket.
Electricity instantly passed through Li Rui's body.
Having been prepared, Li Rui closed his eyes, the Nine Extremes Body Refining Art was running, the Body Tempering Mind Technique was activated instantly, and the electric current flowing in the meridians in the body began to flow in an orderly manner under the guidance of weak mental power.
Burning and numbness are constant, and from time to time there is a point on the skin that seems to burst.
After this feeling lasted for ten minutes, Li Rui finally came under control. His mental power also increased a lot under the stimulation of the electric current. His body gave off a burning smell, but his physical condition was obviously greatly strengthened.
"It really works!" Li Rui's eyes lit up and he increased the current guidance.
The current, which was originally about 0.1 A, began to gradually increase.
0.1A, 0.2A, 0.5A...10A, 20A, 30A.
Just when Li Rui was about to continue to increase the current absorption, he heard a "pop" sound and the circuit breaker tripped.
There was a noise upstairs. Someone ran to the first floor, turned on the electric switch, and then ran back upstairs.
Li Rui opened his eyes, and blue lightning flashed across his eyes. In the darkness, his eyes emitted a faint fluorescent light, which was really beautiful.
"The fuse burned out?" Li Rui twisted his neck, still unsure.
"My limit hasn't been reached yet, but judging from the melting point of its fuse, the limited current is about 20-30 amps. This kind of current is enough to temper my body."
"The Nine Extremes Body Refining Art requires balance, and electric current cannot be used blindly. Moreover, the tempering of electric current lacks the power of nature, so it cannot be used too much."
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Rui found a threshold at which he could use electric current to temper his body. Before this critical point, there were no side effects in using artificial electric current to temper his body.
He looked at his phone and saw that it was already half past eleven. He had absorbed electricity for more than three hours.
"Let's put aside the matter of body tempering for now and go to the top of the mountain to have a look."
After making up his mind, Li Rui unplugged the wire, raised his right hand, touched his thumb and fingers apart, and electric current emerged from his fingertips and merged together.
After he drew thunder and fire runes and fire-proofing runes on the bed and the cabinet, he opened the door and walked out.
The second and third floors were full of people, and there were four rooms on the fourth floor. Li Rui finally found two balls of hemp rope in one of the rooms where miscellaneous items were kept, hung them on his shoulders, opened the window and jumped out.
Walking towards the mountain forest with his back to the small bungalow, Li Rui snapped his fingers, and the small building behind him burst into flames.
Red firelight illuminated all directions, stretching Li Rui's figure dozens of meters until he walked into the woods and disappeared.
After more than three hours of current quenching, Li Rui's speed was more than twice as fast.
Carrying dozens of kilograms of hemp rope, the strong figure in the woods stepped on the steep hillside as fast as the wind.
When he came to the rock arm, Li Rui quickly connected two pieces of hemp rope together, tied a stone to one end, spotted the crack on the top of the mountain, grabbed the stone and threw it hard.
A sure hit.
The stone got stuck in the crack. Li Rui grabbed the hemp rope and climbed up the vertical stone wall. He reached the top of the mountain in a short time.
Although it is surrounded by cliffs, there are many tall trees on the top of the mountain.
The breeze brought the cool air into Li Rui's nasal cavity. Li Rui took a deep breath and felt that all the pores in his body were relaxing, feeling inexplicably relaxed.
A trace of life force nourished his flesh and blood, making his eyes light up.
"This kind of fluctuation..."
Li Rui quickly ran to the center.
It was a large stone with a pit on its belly, and a graceful orchid that looked like it had not yet bloomed, with little stars twinkling around it.
"Xinghua grass!"
Li Rui was surprised to find a spiritual medicine here. You must know that the concentration of spiritual energy nearby is only one or two times richer than that of the school grove.
However, the spiritual energy here covers a wider area, which is not comparable to the school grove.
He happily came to the Xinghua grass, but found that the elixir was not mature yet.
"It just so happens that I won't need it in a short period of time. When I reach the third level and prepare to break through the fourth level, I can use it to clear the level. At that time, the Xinghua grass can also be picked."
Having some calculations in his mind, Li Rui decided to let it go for the time being.
He jumped onto the boulder and sat cross-legged. The spiritual energy he absorbed circulated in his body. The moonlight shone on his body and was used by him to wash away the impurities in his body.
Practicing the first level of Qi means to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, introduce it into oneself, strengthen the body, cleanse the accumulated impurities and dirt in the body, and make the body transcend the ordinary world.
The second level of martial arts is to integrate the spiritual energy into the body and transform into a spirit. Each punch and kick contains the artistic conception of martial arts, which can trigger the resonance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is infinitely powerful.
For Li Rui, spiritual energy is what he needs most at the moment. He has already mastered the true meaning of martial arts, boxing and kicking, and he only needs to absorb the spiritual energy to allow himself to continuously transform.
When the eastern sky was tinged with fish white, Li Rui opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body.
"Cultivation should be done step by step. That's enough for today, but you can't come here every night."
He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked to the north. Half of the city came into view, and the bustling city was sleeping soundly.
Not far away, on a hill covered with thin clouds, a dozen unique and luxurious villas came into view.
Li Rui glanced at it from a distance, turned around and left, returning to the campsite, and Song Yijun and the others just came out of the tent.
"Li Rui, where did you go yesterday? Why did you get up so early today!" Song Yijun dug his eyes out, laughed and came over to say hello.
"The environment nearby is nice. I took a walk around." Li Rui said perfunctorily and walked towards Ye Mengyao.
"Morning!" Ye Mengyao greeted with a smile.
Li Rui replied politely and pointed to the north. Although it was blocked by the mountain, the direction was correct: "In that direction, there are sixteen villas built together. Where are they?"
Ye Mengyao tilted her head and told him: "That place must be Ziyun Villa!"
"There are a total of sixteen villas in Ziyun Villa, and currently only seven have been sold. He doesn't look at how much you are worth, but only whether you are qualified to buy. Among them, the price of the two outermost villas has reached
Thirty-six million."
Speaking of this, her tone was stagnant.
Her father didn't have many demands on her, but he once said that if she was looking for a partner, she must be a good match. Li Rui was a pretty good boy she had ever seen, but she thought her father would not allow them to be together.
Thinking of this, some of her original feelings for Li Rui faded away.
