It would take Wei Shiqi another half a year or so to master the "Twelve Level Tower". Before that, Qin Zhen was not in a hurry to condense the Tao embryo and simply tried to dig through the 14th acupoint of the Ren channel. However, It becomes more and more difficult to open up the acquired aperture. Such attempts are just doing your best and obeying destiny.
During the winter hunting in Tianling, Wei Shiqi secretly hid a batch of demon pills, mostly earth demon pills, and there were also about twenty fire demon pills, all of which were top-grade and thumb-sized. Qi Zhi Xuan Jing" refines the demon pill and absorbs the abundant vitality in it.
The grass is green again in spring, the air is filled with a warm breath, the vegetation is revived, and everything is sprouting. Wei Shiqi has made rapid progress in practicing the Xiaoyue Kung Fu. He has tempered the acupoints and condensed the essence liquid like water. In just a few months, he has practiced It has become a "ten-level building", but Qin Zhen has not yet broken through the fourteenth acupoint.
At first, he was a little complacent. Later, as the essence liquid condensed drop by drop, the speed became faster and faster. There seemed to be a mysterious force pushing him to the other extreme. He felt panic. That Fear was like a poisonous snake, coiling around his heart. Wei Shiqi guessed that as his cultivation level deepened, Ba Snake's bloodline was slowly awakening. Whether it was Xiao Yue Kung that caused the bloodline to awaken, or the awakening of the bloodline that caused the cultivation level to advance by leaps and bounds. No one could tell the cause and effect here. .
Wei Shiqi was hesitating. He didn't know if he could stick to his heart if he continued. His confusion and unpredictability about the future made him restless and lost his usual calmness.
Qin Zhen was keenly aware of his strangeness and found an opportunity to ask, but Wei Shiqi was vague and refused to say anything. What was he worried about? Qin Zhen didn't think that concealment meant estrangement, but her senior brother still treated her like a child, which made her feel disappointed. Such emotions had never appeared before. She had always been happy with his senior brother's care, so why was she a little disgusted this time?
Qin Zhen has grown up after all.
Wei Shiqi planned to take it easy, but he found that at two o'clock in the afternoon every day, the vitality in his body actually poured into the acupoints and condensed into essence liquid step by step. He tried many methods, but with little success. In the end, he had to This process was stopped only by depleting all the vitality in the acupoints and leaving the body empty.
After all, this is not a long-term solution. where is the problem? Since when did the vitality lose control and the will become the slave of lust? The anxiety in Wei Shiqi's heart gradually accumulated, he thought hard, and began to speak less. Qin Zhen saw it and was worried.
It was late spring and early summer. Wei Shiqi was sitting by the mountain stream, listening to the sound of flowing water and doing nothing. Qin Zhen carefully sat down next to him, took off her shoes and socks, and immersed her feet in the stream. The sunlight shone on her white insteps, making them dazzling like jade.
"Brother, I haven't changed my mind."
"Huh?" Wei Shiqi looked at her, wondering why she said this without thinking.
"I've grown up a bit."
Wei Shiqi laughed, remembering his original promise, "When you grow up, if you don't change your mind, you will marry me as your wife." He reached out to pinch her chin and joked: "You are anxious. Married?"
Qin Zhen was a little shy, shook her head, and plucked up the courage to say: "I won't change my mind. It's my senior brother who always treats me like a child. He hides everything in his heart and doesn't tell me. I'm worried... my senior brother just said it casually. He said that one day in the future, when he talks about this matter, he will pat me on the head and say that the words of a child cannot be taken seriously."
"Why did you suddenly think of talking about this?"
"Senior brother, we talked a lot, almost everything. Looking back, what you told me were all other people's things, easy things, casual things. Senior brother never talks about himself. I only know that you He is a hunter from Laoya Ridge. I don’t know anything except this sentence... This makes me feel that I am just a child and have not grown up yet. I shouldn’t ask more about adults..."
She went in such a big circle because she wanted to know why he was anxious. She wanted to understand, share, and be close to him instead of hiding in his arms and covering her eyes and ears. Wei Shiqi stared at her for a long time, and then asked after a long time: "You want to know?"
Qin Zhen nodded vigorously.
Wei Shiqi began to tell her about Lao Yaling, Ku Tenggou, hunters, herb collectors, wood cutters, fish catchers, Lao Liutou, Mulian, Xinyang Town, the three bridges in the town, Shangguan Bridge, Yuanlong Bridge, Xiapu Bridge, Shopkeeper Song of Chongyuantang, Chrysanthemums in Zhaofudong Garden, School Field, Accounting Room, Deng Abacus, Martial Arts Boxing Book, Black Pine Valley, The Grudge between Green Wolf and Old Bear, Deng Shouyi, Broken Dragon Sword , Hu Yangdu, Tu Tu Temple met Qin Zhen for the first time.
These are what Qin Zhen wants to know, but they are not what she wants to know most. She hugged Wei Shiqi's arm so tightly, as if she was worried that if she let go, he would leave her.
"Brother, you have something on your mind."
Wei Shiqi hesitated and said: "I'm thinking about some things and want to make some decisions, but I can't see the gains and losses clearly, and I don't know what to do."
"Can you tell me?" Qin Zhen begged softly.
"cannot."
No, two words, calm as water, decisive, Qin Zhen was startled, her body was trembling, at that moment, she thought she had offended her senior brother, and exhausted all her past feelings. Nervous, aggrieved, and worried about gains and losses, she tried to approach her senior brother, but he pushed him away without hesitation, suggesting that she should not cross the line.
Wei Shiqi stroked her cheek and said softly: "No." He lowered his head and kissed Qin Zhen's lips, and his mood slowly relaxed. When it came time to make a decision, there was no third way to go between giving up and continuing. He couldn't go back to the past or take a step back, he could only rush forward desperately.
But he didn't want to implicate Qin Zhen, she was still young, like a flower, not yet blooming.
"Wait for me here, don't follow me."
"where are you going?"
"It's around here, not far."
These were perfunctory words. Qin Zhen heard the meaning of farewell. Something was about to happen. She looked at him dreamily and stretched out her fingers to stroke his eyebrows. "I... am still too young to help." , I can’t...comfort you, no matter what happens, don’t leave me alone, I will follow you no matter where you go!”
"No matter what happens? No matter where you go?"
Qin Zhen repeated firmly: "No matter, no matter!"
"Even if I hurt you, you don't regret it?"
"There are no mountains, no mausoleums, heaven and earth are harmonious, no regrets!"
Maybe the next moment, Ba Snake's bloodline will be completely awakened, maybe he will turn into a bloodthirsty monster, maybe he will hurt Qin Zhen and crush the flower of youth into pieces. But is it a good choice to leave Qin Zhen alone, hide it from her, and let her live in an illusory world and endure the so-called happiness and peace? There are two kinds of women, one is a plaything that sacrifices a short period of youth in exchange for pampering and enjoyment, and the other is a companion who walks side by side with him and never leaves him. Since Qin Zhen chose the latter, Wei Shiqi is also happy. Make her successful.
"It's hard and dangerous to walk beside me."
"I'm not afraid."
"Okay, stay here and wait for me. I think it won't take long. You will wait for the result-" Wei Shiqi pinched her lower lip, "Whether it is good or bad."
