After eating three kilograms of soy sauce meat, Li Bochen felt that his strength had finally returned.
Lin Qiao said that Qin Le might have gone to verify their origins, but he felt there was nothing to worry about. There is nothing shameful about the things going on in Guan Guan City, so we should rest here for a night and buy some things for the road.
Qin Le had settled the bill once before, and Li Boxen called the waiter to settle the next bill. As a result, the waiter said that General Qin had reserved some money, and it was enough for today's accommodation and meals.
This man turned out to be so careful. But it doesn't look like it's going to be detrimental to oneself. Li Bochen asked the waiter to open two more rooms and ordered more soup buckets, hot water, and changing clothes for men and women. He didn't know how much these would cost, but he thought he should settle the matter with Qin Le when he left tomorrow.
After the soup was ready, the two went to the guest room on the second floor and entered the room separately. Li Bochen took off his armor first, then took off the lining, and jumped into the soup bucket naked. The workmanship of this soup bucket is quite exquisite. The edges are smooth and burr-free. The inside is also clean and has a slope for sleeping and sitting. He was soaked in hot water and felt indescribably comfortable all over his body. He didn't expect that a small shop in a place like this would actually provide such a thing. Or maybe the shopkeeper took it for his own use just for the sake of General Qin?
He lay in the water leaning against the wall of the tube, put his hands on the edge, and let out a long breath. The soup bucket is facing the window. Through the window lattice, you can see the misty green of the countryside in the distance, set against the blue sky, and coated with the pale golden sunshine of the afternoon. It was very quiet all around, except for the occasional fluttering of birds passing under the eaves and their distant chirping.
At this time, I kind of want to drink - it would be so pleasant if I could have two ounces of small fire aside and slowly sip while looking at the distant scenery!
He didn't sleep last night, so he took a relaxing bath and dozed off at some point. When I woke up again, it seemed that I had not slept for long, and it was still bright outside the window. But the water in the soup bucket is no longer as hot as before, and the temperature has become just right. He was about to pick up the handkerchief on one side and give it a good scrubbing when he suddenly heard the sound of water running next door.
Li Boxen was stunned - so this wall is so thin? If you listen carefully, you can still hear the rustling sound of undressing. That sound of water just now, was Lin Qiao testing the water temperature?
He felt a little embarrassed all of a sudden. Then didn't she hear everything she said? I felt my body slowly getting hot again.
Wait for a while, listen to the sound of water again... It's time for her to take a bath, right?
Li Bochen was busy holding his breath and concentrating, not letting himself think about what was happening in the room across the wall, and planned to get up and put on clothes. But thinking that if she did this, she would hear him clearly again, she gave up.
After a while, it became quiet over there. It's her taking a bath. Li Boxen told himself not to think about it, but his mind didn't listen to him, and he only felt a little uncomfortable. He is a hot-blooded young man who has had uncomfortable moments in the past. But it was not like now. The woman was next door and seemed to be engaged to him...
These thoughts are really inappropriate. Li Bochen let out a breath and thought to himself, I might as well avoid it.
He thought this way, calmed his mind and recited the mantra silently. I felt that in the blink of an eye I was already in that realm.
He had felt something in the center of the manor before, and he felt that there might be some changes in this world. Now when I look around, I really feel that something is different.
There was nothing unusual about the golden platform, but the four things that were originally placed next to the throne - the broken pot were now as if they were brand new, glowing with metal. The rancid fish became a dried fish. Li Bochen picked it up and smelled it. He didn't smell any peculiar smell, but he felt that there was an inexplicable meat aroma, which was very useful. He thought for a while and tried to tear off a strip, but the thing was as hard as wood and he couldn't even make a mark when he pressed his fingernails on it.
This thing should be tempered by the spiritual power of this world. He learned a lesson from eating Sumeru fetus and decided not to eat it for the time being. Dropping the fish and looking at the wood, it already glowed with a faint golden light, as if it was made of metal. Although the stone looked unchanged, when he tried to push it, he found that he couldn't push it.
He became more competitive and leaned over to move it again. With his current strength, even if the bluestone weighs several thousand kilograms, the ground of the golden platform is smooth and he can always push it to move. But after trying it, it still didn't move at all.
He had no choice but to straighten up and thought to himself, I'm afraid these four things have become treasures. Stay here, you'll always be useful!
Then he raised his eyes and looked down the stage.
Jintai and Guimen Pass are connected by Naihe Bridge. The unknown depth of the river under the bridge was originally dry, but now it was discovered that there was fire in it. As soon as his mind moved, the scene in the river came into view - it was filled with a shallow layer of magma!
Although he didn't know what the significance of this was, he knew that his previous "enlightenment" really brought about some changes. Is it true that, given time... this place will become what it should be like before?
Li Bochen couldn't help but punched his fist and thought to himself, great!
When I came to this world before, although I could escape from the human world, I didn't feel much safe. Because this place doesn't seem to belong to me yet, and I don't know if there is a powerful being peering here. But at this time, I have changed, and there have been some changes here. Does it mean that I can slowly control this place?
Such a sense of control almost immediately put him at ease.
He was so happy that he saw the lava in the river suddenly rippled and began to flow. The thunderclouds in the sky were rumbling and rolling endlessly. I also felt that there were suddenly something inexplicable in my mind, as if I had gained an extra arm, or an extra leg, but I couldn't find where the arm or the leg was.
If you don't care about this feeling, it's nothing. But once you want to get to the bottom of it, it's like feeling an itch on your body that you can't scratch, which makes you extremely uncomfortable. Li Bochen frowned and searched carefully for the thought in his mind, but he couldn't find it. After a while, I felt like I was sweating profusely and felt so sad that I wanted to scream.
He walked quickly back and forth on the golden platform, looking left and right with wide eyes. After wandering around like a bull for a few times, his eyes suddenly fell on the flat ground outside the gate of hell.
In the past few days since he was away, there have been more and more ghosts outside the pass. Now they are so densely packed that you can't even see the edge. I don't know if they are thousands or tens of thousands. As soon as he saw these things, his mind suddenly became enlightened and he suddenly understood something.
The feeling of being "intangible" and "invisible" turns out to be from this world.
It turns out that this world is this world, he is him, and he can't interfere with it. But now I feel vaguely that I can do something and change something here. But this "feeling" seems to be far from "being able to use fingers like an arm". He saw the ghosts inside and outside the gate of hell, and he suddenly figured out the clues.
