The moonlight is cool, and a breeze is freezing.
The clothes are still wet, and when the wind blows, the still young body trembles involuntarily.
Although he now has no cultivation and low perception, Li Qiao can still tell from the way the opponent's spiritual consciousness lifts him that he is a monk in the late stage of Qi training.
Judging from the fact that he quickly withdrew his spiritual consciousness after leaving the wellhead, the other party was roughly at the seventh level of Qi training. If Li Qiao was heavier or had not already reached the wellhead, there was not much distance left, and the other party's spiritual consciousness would not be able to support him.
The moment you come out, hide a lot of your mind and try to show the image of an ordinary frightened child. You can't cry in a crying way. If you make the other party feel upset, it will be bad to kill him with a sword.
He glanced at the other party in horror, showing that he didn't dare to look again. At the same time, the other party's evaluation also appeared in his heart: an ordinary female casual cultivator with average appearance.
The identity of the casual cultivator can be judged from the other party's clothes and the junk magic weapon in his hand. As for appearance, female cultivators are basically not ugly, but for Li Qiao, as long as they are not very beautiful, they can be classified as average-looking.
This kind of low-level monk who originally didn't care was now unbearable. The time it took to breathe felt extremely long. Fortunately, the other party quickly said: "Why did you run into the well?"
The voice was crisp, without warmth, only doubt.
Hearing this sentence, he looked at the mouth of the well and then around, and confusion appeared on Li Qiao's face: "I fell asleep. I don't know who threw it."
The female cultivator didn't say anything more about this, but looked around again, turned around and left.
The other party will die eventually, so there is no intention to talk to the other party.
She just happened to find a child crawling out of the well with her consciousness and was a little confused. After hearing the other party's answer, she thought that his family should have let him in at a critical moment.
Under normal circumstances, jumping into a well would mean death. It is probably because his family did not want him to die in pain, but they did not expect him to be able to climb up on his own. Although this situation is rare, under the threat of death, it is nothing to have some potential explosion.
Seeing the other party leaving, Li Qiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the possibility that the other party will take care of you in the future, or even take you to practice, there will be no such thing under normal circumstances. The other party killing you without a sword is considered a kind of kindness in this world of immortality.
Just when Li Qiao was thinking about what to do after waiting for the other party to leave completely, the footsteps came back again, and the other party came back again, which made his heart sink instantly.
Wouldn't it be better to give it a chance and give it some time? Just after being reincarnated and regaining his memory, he was faced with crisis scenes one after another. It was really bad luck.
The female cultivator who came back looked at the child in front of her again and asked, "Why don't you cry?"
Hearing these words, Li Qiao thought to herself: I just hope you stay as far away from me as possible instead of looking for trouble out of curiosity.
There was no answer, but he raised his head in confusion, with all the answers written on his face: Why are you crying?
This was not the first time that Bai Fengtong had seen a village destroyed by monsters or monks. He had also seen surviving mortals many times, but those like the child in front of him were rare.
It was as if the previous danger had nothing to do with him, and there was not even much fear. And this little fear seemed to come more from himself.
Seeing the other party's reaction at this moment, I realized for a moment that I was overthinking.
If the other person fell into the well, it's normal to not know what happened. But when you see a stranger like yourself, especially when you pull him out of the well out of thin air, it's normal to feel scared.
There are often monks in the world of cultivating immortals, so mortals are not unfamiliar with immortal cultivators. Ignorant children may be surprised or yell when they see the magic displayed by monks for the first time.
But what many mortals tell children is the horror of immortal cultivators, and there are even many stories about this.
I don't know what she was recalling, but a smile appeared on the corner of the female cultivator's mouth, and then she said to Li Qiao: "Are you afraid of me?"
At this moment, Li Qiao would not think about sweet words like sister, you are so beautiful, why should I be afraid? If you don’t satisfy the other person’s emotions and say you’re not afraid, who knows what the other person will do?
"Afraid!" A simple word vividly expresses the fear in a child's heart.
"If you're afraid, why don't you run away quickly?"
After saying this, the child in front of him seemed stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away.
Seeing the other party's reaction, especially the one who fell down and looked disgraced in the middle, the female cultivator burst out laughing, her voice echoing around her.
But after a moment, the laughter quickly disappeared, and the female cultivator's face turned cold again.
In this village that was almost completely slaughtered by monsters, this young boy wouldn't be able to survive long if he stayed here by himself. As for her rescue? There are too many such situations, how can she be saved, not to mention that she may not be able to protect herself at any time in the world of immortality, and how can she take care of others.
"That monster is still nearby!" The female cultivator left without caring whether the other party understood or not. She could only wish the other party good luck whether he could survive.
If there is a reason to leave the other party, Li Qiao will not let it go at all, and he behaves stupidly in the process of escaping. He was really worried that his reaction would be slower, and he would say again: Why don't you run.
The more you talk and express, the easier it is for you to have flaws. Even though the other party is average-looking, she is absolutely fatal to him at this moment.
The village was still the village in his original memory, but it became very quiet in the night. Li Qiao's memory was very good. Where the body originally existed, he found that the body was missing.
There are two possibilities for this outcome. One is that it was eaten by a monster, and the other is that it was restrained by someone. Li Qiao thought it was the second type because the cleaning was too clean, and the female cultivator who appeared was highly suspicious.
At this moment, Li Qiao had to lament that he had met a casual cultivator with a decent personality. Very few people were born evil. They all grew up little by little in a bad world.
For monks in the world of immortality, the longer they live, the more indifferent their personalities become.
The bad ones can kill, and the good ones can also kill. For example, there are many people who think that killing Li Qiao will save him from dying in pain in the future, and this female cultivator is just right.
Li Qiao, who had been running all the way, did not run far. Instead, he followed his original memory and returned home directly. After cleaning off his wet and cold clothes, he lay down and went to sleep.
No matter how far away the female cultivator is at this moment, no matter when the monster comes back, if she doesn't adjust her body properly, it's not certain whether she can survive the night.
My family knows that my body is a child's, and after all this stress, it is not only on the verge of collapse, but also close to its limit.
On the surface, he just fell asleep, but in fact, he was secretly repairing his body. When he woke up the next day, not only did he not get sick from soaking in the well water and blowing the cool breeze, but he was in good spirits.
Only then did Li Qiao have time to calm down and think about his reincarnation.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had passed the tribulation, and he didn't know what Li's situation was now, but no matter what, he knew that unless his strength could once again surpass the entire family, he would never go back.
Maybe nothing will happen when you go back, or it may bring disaster to yourself. If you put yourself in his shoes, a guy with low strength and claiming to be your ancestor suddenly comes to your family, who can believe it? Who dares to believe it? Even if it can be verified, it is inevitable that someone has other thoughts.
As for the secret formation that was deployed back then, I don’t know if it is still there. If it is, this is the short-term goal in the future.
Before that, you must first become a monk, and then accumulate enough materials to set up a teleportation array. The first and most important thing is how to survive now.
First, cook and eat!
Back in the mortal period, food was a necessity. In his current state, there was no need to think about running far away. Being able to survive here was the most important thing.
"It's been a long time since I felt like I had no strength without eating." During the meal, Li Qiao had this emotion in her heart.
He also collected food in the village and scattered it in several places.
Then he observed the surrounding environment. Normally, there were mortals living here before, so there shouldn't be too much danger. The intrusion of monsters should be a very special event.
But Li Qiao also clearly remembered what the female cultivator said last night. The monster had not been killed and was still moving around, so he urgently needed some self-protection.
As a former great monk in the Tribulation Stage, although he cannot use spiritual energy to practice now, he can just absorb spiritual energy and attack outside his body. Although the attack speed is slow and the power is limited, he is no longer at the mercy of others.
But if you want to exert this power of self-preservation, it is not enough to control only a small amount of spiritual energy. You also need the cooperation of divine consciousness. Otherwise, without divine consciousness, you will not be able to seize opportunities when they arise.
"The requirements for opening spiritual consciousness are lower, and it should be possible to open it now." While recalling the information about spiritual consciousness, there was a slight pain in my mind.
In fact, it was best to do nothing, but Li Qiao was really worried that he would die during this most vulnerable period, but the pain in his mind made him understand how high the risk of doing so was, so he had to wait. Let’s see after some time.
Normally opening his spiritual consciousness required the Spirit-enlightening Pill. Li Qiao was confident that he could open it directly, but he was not sure whether it would bring any serious consequences to his fragile body, so it was best to stay healthy for a while.
In the days that followed, Li Qiao stayed in the village.
He didn't choose to leave, just like he didn't think about whether there would be a true spiritual catastrophe. Just in case, he found a cave that could defend against the true spiritual catastrophe and stayed there every day.
After all, the probability of a true spiritual catastrophe happening is not high, and if it really comes down to bad luck, accept it.
Knowing that anything can happen in this world of immortality, and that danger will only happen sooner or later, I want to prepare something in advance, but the reality is that I can't do anything and can only resign myself to fate.
He is the reincarnation of a great monk in the Tribulation Period, but he is not omnipotent. Currently, he has only awakened a small part of his memory. His body is just a child, not even a monk. What can he do?
To put it bluntly, I can’t dig a hole even if I want to.
As for finding a temporary cave or a secret place to hide? Not to mention the dangers on the way out, the probability of crisis in a place where you can hide is much greater than in this dilapidated village.
As for the formation? Make bricks without straw!
In ancient times, it seemed that formation mages could easily set up formations with the help of magic weapons such as formation flags, and the materials for the formation flags were also very precious. Later formations became more complicated, requiring formation materials and spiritual stones. .
I really want to arrange something without using anything, but I can do it.
However, this formation has many limitations, not to mention that its power can only be used against mortals, making them unable to distinguish directions under the influence of the field, etc. However, if the opponent is replaced by a monk or a monster, it will have basically no effect. Li Qiao wouldn't do anything that was laborious and useless.
Nothing happened for the time being, but something would happen sooner or later, so Li Qiao didn't dare to really live a carefree life here.
Only seven days had passed, and I felt that my physical condition was about the same, so after nightfall, I buried myself with something.
He is just a mortal now. It is difficult to find out if a monk is using his spiritual consciousness to peek at him.
He is not worried that someone will stare at him, because there is no need. If you really have any thoughts about him, wouldn't it be better to attack him directly. But he is worried about encountering a monk who flies by, and he happens to be within the scope of his spiritual consciousness. Although this possibility is unlikely, he has to guard against it when his own life is involved.
Under normal circumstances, the age at which spiritual consciousness is activated in the world of immortality is at least ten years old. If he develops spiritual consciousness at such a young age, something will happen if someone discovers it.
Therefore, even if Li Qiao successfully opens his spiritual consciousness, it will not show up in the past few years as long as he is not in a desperate situation.
If it weren't for the fact that he had no means of self-protection and it was too dangerous, Li Qiao would not have chosen to activate his consciousness in advance.
Opening up the spiritual consciousness directly without using the Spirit-enlightening Pill is still within the body of a child. It may not be possible to reincarnate in the ordinary tribulation period, but Li Qiao covered a lot of this aspect when he studied the reincarnation method. , it’s not that difficult for him.
The night passed quickly, and Li Qiao also walked out of his burial place again. Everything went well, and his spiritual consciousness was successfully opened, but this spiritual consciousness was very weak, and it was more suitable to be called spiritual consciousness.
But with the help of this weak spiritual consciousness and gathering some spiritual energy in advance, Li Qiao was confident to kill the monster that appeared before. The only thing he needed to worry about was that if he had to take action, he must not let anyone see it. Kill must be killed.
But the monster that he was worried about before did not appear again. Li Qiao thought it was normal. Where there were villages, there was a high possibility of monks appearing nearby. It was normal for a weak monster to be killed.
He even had an idea, wasn't the female cultivator lying to him?
At this moment, Li Qiao didn't know that the current world of immortality was very different from what he knew, but it was still a small problem for him after all.
In addition, Li Qiao also had a bad premonition that his ability to absorb spiritual evil might no longer exist. However, he did not have the strength for the time being and it was inconvenient to verify it, so he could only leave it for later.
