After surrendering the statue of the God of Music, he felt that his spiritual power had also increased a lot.
He has vaguely reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi refining.
You should be able to break through after practicing for a period of time.
At this time, there happened to be a team of four monks who were about to enter the Sunset Forest. They were fully equipped, each had an illusion-removing shield, and magic weapons specifically designed to block perception. They were obviously all veterans.
Seeing Lin Xi coming out, they looked at Lin Xi very warily.
After confirming that there was no Phantom Cloud Beast on Lin Xi, they turned around and left with some disappointment.
He made no secret of his intentions.
They want to rob.
Lin Xi glanced around and saw two people at the ninth level of Qi Refining, one at the tenth level, and one at the eleventh level.
"Are you going to catch the Phantom Cloud Beast?" Lin Xi asked knowingly.
The leader was a thin man: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I advise you not to go."
"Why?"
"Because the Sunset Forest is very dangerous now, the Phantom Cloud Beast seems to have become more powerful." Lin Xi said seriously.
The man looked Lin Xi up and down, and sneered: "You look pretty cool, new here, right? I've been hanging out in Sunset Forest for five years, and I've caught more than twenty Phantom Cloud Beasts, and I've never encountered one before.
Danger. If a useless monster like the Phantom Cloud Beast dares to appear, I will catch it."
"Is it."
"Nonsense, if you have nothing to do, just stay aside and don't waste our time." The man said impatiently.
After saying that, the four of them turned and left.
Lin Xi looked at the four people.
More than twenty?
He's pretty awesome, he's an old hunter.
Lin Xi smiled: "Leshen, trap them."
I don't know when, the God of Music quietly appeared behind Lin Xi. It played the guqin in front of him, and a melodious melody floated out.
The four people felt a white mist filling their surroundings.
They would have been happy.
As soon as we entered Sunset Forest, we met the Phantom Cloud Beast.
Very lucky too.
They all used their methods to break the illusion.
"Not good!"
"What's going on? Why is there no response from the Phantom Shield Remover?"
"Where have you gone? Why can't I find you?"
"Help, it's so scary here."
"It shouldn't be. Why did the illusion of Phantom Cloud Beast suddenly become so powerful?"
The four people were in a mess in the illusion, but in reality they were lying in the dense forest, motionless, as if they had passed out.
Lin Xi smiled: "It doesn't look very powerful."
He looked into the depths of the dense forest and said to himself: "I'll buy you some time. From now on, it's your own business."
"You actually want to rob me, so you should be trapped for half a month as punishment."
Lin Xi turned and left.
The remaining four monks were lying there quietly.
...
...
Five days later.
An Dynasty.
Lin Xi returned here again.
After the evil cultivators in the An Dynasty, the people were in dire straits, but things are much better now. There are no outrageous fees for entering and exiting the city, and taxes have been reduced a lot. The people can at least afford to eat.
However, after this incident, many people fled.
There are a lot fewer people.
There is a long way to go before we can prosper again.
From now on, at least the emperor did a pretty good job.
Lin Xi is going to Longshan Village to find Shi Zhong.
I don’t know how his relationship with the world ended.
Arrive at Longshan Village.
This place is completely different from before. The faces of the villagers are filled with happy smiles. There is a bumper harvest. The rice and wheat fields are golden and full, lush and attractive. There are flocks of chickens and ducks in every household, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
The emperor probably had some special care for Longshan Village.
Anyway, Longshan Village has long since returned to its original living standards.
"Lord Xianchang." Some villagers recognized Lin Xi from a distance and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Lin Xi also knew that there was no point in blocking him, so he simply asked, "Where is Shi Zhong."
"Shi Zhong is in the field."
"What are you doing?"
"Of course it's time to cut the wheat. It's the harvest season now and we're very busy. Shi Zhong is a very strong boy and is very enthusiastic to help us..."
"Shi Zhong is indeed very capable."
"It's a pity that I have to leave. I really can't bear to leave."
The villagers talked a lot.
Lin Xi was a little strange.
Don't these villagers respect Shi Zhong very much? Why did they change again?
Since you have changed, why are you still in such awe of me?
The moment she saw Shi Zhong, Lin Xi finally understood.
He was harvesting wheat alone in the fields, with sweat flowing down his face. His skin was even darker due to constant exposure to the sun, and he had a simple and honest smile on his face. He finally had a little bit of the monk airs, but all of them were gone.
Anyone who sees him will think that he is just an ordinary farm boy.
"Shi Zhong!" Lin Xi shouted.
Shi Zhong heard the call and turned around with a smile: "Lin Xi, you're here."
"Yes, it's time to go back to Qingyun Sect."
"Oh, wait for me a little longer and I'll finish the work here."
Lin Xi could only wait patiently.
Half a day passed quickly.
The sun went down, and Shi Zhong finished his work tiredly.
"What have you been doing these past few months?" Lin Xi asked.
"Do farm work." Shi Zhong said honestly and kindly: "There are so many fertile fields that cannot be left unused."
"Do you remember what you came home for?"
"Uh...forgot."
Lin Xi raised her head and said, "Think about it again."
Shi Zhong thought about it for a long time: "I remember it, it's Duanchen Yuan."
"So what do you think now?"
"Well... I don't have much insight." Shi Zhong felt a little ashamed, but then he smiled happily: "But you see, the villagers are not afraid of me anymore, we still get along as before."
His skin is very dark, but his smile is really bright.
Lin Xi was silent for a moment and then said with the same smile: "Idiot, isn't this what you think?"
Shi Zhong's path to ending the world is completely different from others.
Immortal cultivators often strive to break away from the worldly world and stay away from the world, so that they can better face separation in the future without being disturbed.
But Shi Zhong is actively embracing the secular world.
For several months, he was the same as before.
Work, eat, and play.
It's like nothing happened.
The villagers also subtly accepted Shi Zhong's new identity and got along with him as before, with no more barriers.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals, but there can also be no difference between immortals and mortals.
This is Shi Zhong's feeling.
As for whether it is good or bad, and what will happen in the future, let’s talk about it later.
The sun goes down.
The villagers have all come back.
"There are always ghosts wandering around in the back mountains, so no one dares to go out at night," Shi Zhong said.
Lin Xi said: "Do you want me to help you kill these ghosts?"
"No, no, no, I've been there several times. Those ghosts don't hurt anyone. There's no need. And that's where many ancestors' tombs are in Longshan Village."
Maybe one of Shi Zhong's ancestors is among these wild ghosts.
How bad it would be if it were destroyed.
Lin Xi looked at Shi Zhong's state.
He really works hard.
The ninth level of Qi refining.
In a place where the spiritual energy is not strong enough, it is really good to be able to improve it to this level.
