How big is the world?
Lu Ping was curious about this question. In that small, airtight stone room, through the palm-sized air hole above his head, Lu Ping had seen the world.
In the early morning, light would shine in from the stomata, and the dust in those light pillars could float and spin tirelessly all day long. Lu Ping tried to catch them, but failed. But the feeling of the light beam hitting my hands is very comfortable and warm.
At night, you can sometimes see one star at the blowhole. If you are lucky, there may be two. Once, Lu Ping even found three stars crowded there and blinking at him. He was excited about this for several days.
When it rains, rainwater falls in; when it snows, snowflakes float in.
Once, a little bird landed on the blowhole, poked its head in, and chirped a few times before flying away.
The world is so interesting, Lu Ping thought. I don't know how big it will be, but it will definitely be much larger than my own stone room. Maybe a hundred times, a thousand times as big.
Later, he finally escaped and saw the world outside the blowhole. The vast sky and the vast earth are things that ordinary people are tired of seeing and have no interest in expressing their feelings. However, Lu Ping was so surprised that he couldn't open his eyes.
How big is this?
He thought, it must be not just a hundred times, but a thousand times as big!
He was determined to live, together with Su Tang, in this world. He is no longer curious about how big the world is. As long as he can be in it, he feels very satisfied.
Puff, puff, puff...
Another pot of mountain spring water was boiled, and small bubbles continued to rise from the bottom of the pot to the surface and burst. Guo Youdao reached out and picked up the kettle, raised it up, and brewed it again. This time, he brewed three bowls, and one bowl was flat.
"Take it yourself." Guo Youdao said, carefully picking up his own bowl.
"I may not be able to help you with your cultivation." Wen Gecheng said to Lu Ping.
"Maybe it's because you came too late." Guo Youdao blew the tea foam floating in the bowl and said without looking.
Lu Ping noticed a page of letter paper thrown on the tea table. It was dry, concise and scrawled. It was an invitation to Wen Gecheng, and the date of signing was: January 22, 1857, Mainland China.
Lu Ping remembered this day.
That day, he and Su Tang escaped from the organization and walked in the snowy field for a long time. He had no idea where to go, so he just kept walking. Later, he met Guo Youdao and took them on the road together. It would be at least a week before we returned to Fengfeng Academy, but judging from the date of the letter, Guo Youdao wrote the letter on the day he met them.
But it took more than three years for Wen Ge to make the appointment, and Lu Ping couldn't help but respect him.
"It's a miracle that I can read this letter. Otherwise, do you think I would come to this barren mountain after seeing your bad handwriting?" Wen Gecheng said. His movements were erratic, and receiving letters had no logic to him. Therefore, he was surprised that this letter had not been lost for more than three years and finally fell into his hands. It was because of this surprise that he went to the appointment that was three years late.
"It's a worthwhile trip, right?" Guo Youdao said.
Wen Gecheng nodded, and then said to Lu Ping: "Although you don't care about it yourself, I am very curious about your origins."
"I'll find it out." Wen Gecheng reached into the window and patted Lu Ping on the shoulder.
"Oh." Lu Ping's unexpected reaction was dull, but this did not seem to disturb Wen Gecheng's interest at all. It seemed that after making this determination, his whole person was full of energy.
"Then, I'm leaving."
The farewell came so unexpectedly, Lu Ping thought that if Wen Gecheng was interested, he would definitely ask himself a lot of questions.
"That's right." Wen Gecheng, who had already jumped off the ladder, suddenly thought of something again.
"I don't know what you are doing now, but I have a suggestion." Wen Gecheng said, "It may be easier to separate the power of the soul and steal it one by one."
"Oh." Lu Ping responded, but his face did not show the expression of enlightenment or thinking that Wen Gecheng expected.
"Are you already doing this?" Wen Gecheng said angrily.
"Yes." Lu Ping said.
"Goodbye!" Wen Gecheng left without looking back.
"Haha." Guo Youdao smiled again, drank a bowl of tea, and then looked at Lu Ping: "If you had met him three years ago, you would have avoided a lot of detours, right?"
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded. To escape from the organization was to take advantage of the other party's negligence during the experiment. But in each experiment, the release of the body lock is limited, the degree is limited, and the time is also limited. At that time, the power of soul that he had temporarily was quickly suppressed by the Soul Locking Soul.
It was during these three years at Zhaifeng Academy, countless attempts, and countless failures that Lu Ping finally found the method he is currently using. As for Wen Gecheng, just after meeting him for the first time, he was able to sort out so many methods, which is really amazing. If he could have met him three years ago, he could really have saved Lu Ping a lot of detours.
"Microscopic and unparalleled insight. Only a person with extremely strong curiosity like him can develop such an ability." Guo Youdao said.
"curiosity?"
"Yes. Don't you see that he cares more about you than you? Because you are so worthy of his curiosity." Guo Youdao said.
"Then should I help him?" Lu Ping scratched his head. Although he didn't care much, after all, others were busy because of his affairs, so he didn't help him. It seemed a little too careless.
"Don't worry! To satisfy curiosity, when he needs your help, you won't be able to escape." Guo Youdao said.
"Then I'd better stay away from him!" Lu Ping was a little scared again.
"Try it." Guo Youdao said.
"Why do I suddenly feel so uneasy... I feel like he might be more troublesome than the organization." Lu Ping said.
"Of course, you are satisfied that the organization did not bother you, but his curiosity is endless. Now he is just curious about your origin, but soon, his curiosity will shift to this mysterious organization. Their members, their operations, their purposes, he must really want to know these things," Guo Youdao said.
"How do you feel about finding him?" Lu Ping asked.
"Uh..." Guo Youdao thought for a while, "Identify your bloodline and help you solve the problem of body lock."
"What now?" Lu Ping asked.
"Now...it's just that he's late..."
"I kind of sympathize with him!" Lu Ping said.
"No, he enjoys it!" Guo Youdao said, "As for you, I didn't expect that you have reached this level now. It's time for you to repay my life-saving grace."
"you say."
"I have already said that the future of Zhaifeng College depends on outstanding students like you!" Guo Youdao said.
"You are cheating!" Lu Ping said.
"In order to cheat like this, I relaxed the hospital rules and waited for you for three years." Guo Youdao said.
"Have you told me earlier? I'm good enough to pass the first-year Soul Tower in my first year. As for overdoing it like this?" Lu Ping said.
"It's good to overdo it, but if you just pass, then that's not enough?" Guo Youdao laughed.
(A little late!!!)
