Chapter 341 Strange Awakening Ceremony
seaside.

The gigantic "mermaid" had already turned into a figure similar to Liu Ping's, and even found a cloak to cover the tail of his lower body.

"Happy cooperation." Liu Ping said.

"Even after going through the moment just now, do you think we will have a good cooperation?" A voice came from under the cloak.

"With a contract, you will definitely help me - can this be unpleasant?" Liu Ping said.

The other party is silent.

Liu Ping thought for a while and said, "First of all, there is no conflict of interest between us; secondly, although you are a strange being, I think you are quite good at transactions and contracts, which means we can communicate well— —”

"In the end, I am a reasonable person. If you can really help me, I will give you a corresponding return when you need it."

He said these words seriously, "Mermaid" listened silently, thought for a while, and then said:

"Until I figure out a way to get rid of the contract, you can call me 'Water Tree'."

"I'm Liu Ping." Liu Ping said.

"Liu Ping, listen carefully. I don't know why you are willing to be reincarnated as an adult, but as a human being, it is very difficult to fight against strange beings, and there is almost no hope."

Mizuki found a mirror, and with a simple move, various human faces continuously appeared on the mirror.

"Why is that so?" Liu Ping asked.

"Liu Ping, you have to understand one thing - although you can hear the secret without dying, but the secret is an extremely precious treasure, unless you can pay something equivalent in exchange, otherwise I will not entrust any secret to you for nothing .” Shui Shu said.

"Then how will you help me understand my enemy? In the future, I will definitely defeat it." Liu Ping said.

"Don't talk big so early."

As Mizuki said, he tapped lightly towards the mirror.

The ever-changing human images on the mirror finally stopped.

A young girl with her eyes closed jumped on top of it. She was wearing a plain dress of a certain sect, showing a sense of calm and solemnity.

Mizuki lowered the cloak covering himself.

——It took on the form of that girl.

The girl made a clear and moving voice, and said with emotion: "Human beings, the endless destruction did not bring you into the abyss of despair, and even gave birth to an existence that can sign a contract with us. Are you as humble as you and are not willing to be food forever? character of?"

"I guess the desire to survive is the same for any life." Liu Ping said.

"Help food get rid of their original fate - such a ridiculous thing will happen to me, forget it, I suddenly became a little interested, I want to see your final outcome." The girl said.

"Thank you for your help," Liu Ping said.

"But are you ready? This is a road that transcends everything. Once you fall from it, you will inevitably enter a state of eternal doom. At that time, I will leave without hesitation, and you will have no chance to regret it." The girl road.

"It sounds difficult." Liu Ping said.

"It's not difficult, it's extremely difficult. In fact, if I wasn't on the brink of death this time, in my heyday, I could hit 1 without you blinking." The girl said.

"So strong?" Liu Ping smiled.

"No, human beings are too weak. This is your fate and your original sin." The girl said lazily.

Looking at the vast ocean, Liu Ping said with a calm expression: "I have seen many people who have no time to display their talents, face the era of drastic changes, live well, feel everything, and save their own destiny. , is already in eternal darkness, but our era has always been like this, it alternates between despair and destruction so that we can only face everything in silence."

"If you give us a chance."

"Even if there's only one chance—"

"I'm definitely going to grab it."

The girl turned her head, looked at him and said, "Then go and prove your will. If you want to obtain strange powers, just relying on some sequences and the ties of previous lives is not enough."

"What should I do?" Liu Ping asked.

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

For a moment, it seemed that countless worlds and times flashed from her beautiful eyes.

"Strange awakening ritual."

The girl spoke.

Without waiting for Liu Ping to speak, she quickly chanted an obscure spell.

On Liu Ping's body, a card resonated and flew out of the card book automatically, landing between the two of them.

It is the "Day and Night Parade".

The girl stared at the card and said: "Your time is helping you, but time is only the most common law. You need to be surrounded by more laws to get enough cornerstones and move towards the strange depths." climb."

While speaking, the "Day and Night Parade" gradually emitted round after round of light, as if it had been activated.

"What do I need to do?" Liu Ping asked.

The girl said: "Strangeness is the emergence of multiple laws, but where do the laws come from? In fact, the easiest way is for you to become the strongest one in your group and save the historical destiny of your group - in this way , the laws related to your ethnic group will gradually believe in you, willing to follow you, and then help you—"

"Let me see, you really have the title 'Embrace of Twilight', which is what attracted the Law of Time to help you."

"Remember, this is the weird first step."

In mid-air, the "Day and Night Parade" suddenly disappeared.

next moment.

The boundless sea began to surge upwards, gradually submerging the bodies of Liuping and the girl Mizuki.

"You said that many times, you have no time to save everything." The girl said.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

The girl looked at him coldly and said, "Now you have time."

"Go, find a way to save those times that belong to you, if you can't, you will die in it."

Liu Ping asked: "What if I did it?"

The girl closed her eyes and said, "The laws outside of time will notice you, trust you, and help you step by step towards strangeness just like time."

"—This is the strange awakening ceremony."

The water submerged both of them.

A ray of light quietly appeared, gently pulling the two of them towards a certain direction of the abyss of the deep sea.

After floating for an unknown amount of time, Liu Ping stopped in front of a door.

I saw the words on the door:

"The 1373st year in the real world."

Next to this line of words, there is a line of bright red marks:
"The beginning of the first destruction."

boom--

The door swung open.

Liu Ping and the girl were sucked in by the turbulent undercurrent.

……

It's raining.

Liu Ping got up from a cold and hard stone, and found himself wearing a rough and hard armor.

The water tree floats in the air, reaching out to catch the rain bored.

"What's the situation?" Liu Ping looked around.

"Remember, from now on, you are a person of this era. You only have the average strength of your current age, and you cannot use any other side power beyond this era." The girl Mizuki still closed her eyes, expressing no emotion. Said.

"I see, what do I need to do?" Liu Ping asked.

"Win!" the girl said, "You have to keep winning until you become the strongest of the entire human race and lead the entire human race to defeat the enemy. Only in this way will the law pay attention to you."

Liu Ping said: "Time—"

The girl said: "It is on your side, so there is enough time."

"Ok."

Liu Ping picked up a halberd from the ground, put it on his shoulder and looked around.

Surrounded by weeds and trees, there is no human habitation.

"Are you just floating in the air and following me?" he asked Mizuki.

"Yes." The girl said.

"No one can see you?"

"Correct."

"Why do you keep your eyes closed?"

"Because there's nothing worth seeing."

"Okay, let me see what to do—wait a minute, this seems to be an era on the Budo side."

In the sound of wind and rain, there was suddenly a rush of horseshoes.

I saw a group of people riding horses with lights on in the night rain, approaching here quickly.

"There is a brat on patrol, kill him!"

An order sounded.

Immediately, several horses rushed out and rushed towards Liu Ping.

"It's quite difficult." Liu Ping sighed.

"Of course," the girl Mizuki said floating in the air, "You are only as strong as a young martial artist in this era."

Liu Ping weighed the halberd in his hand and found that it was really heavy.

It seems unrealistic to drive this halberd with his current strength.

"Cards can't be used either?" he asked.

"Cheating can't win the favor of the laws. They are older and wiser than you - they actually have their own thoughts and personalities." Shui Shu said.

A look of expectation suddenly appeared on her face:
"I've released the strange awakening ceremony for you, but maybe... you can't even pass this first level?"

"You expect me to die here?" Liu Ping struggled to raise his halberd, pointing at the galloping horses.

"As long as you die here, the contract between us will end immediately, and I will be free." Shui Shu said.

In the wind and rain, the four horses had already arrived in front of Liu Ping.

The leader pulled out a long knife and slashed at Liu Ping's neck, laughing and saying:
"You can't even lift a gun, so you dare to patrol the border?"

Liu Ping suddenly took a step forward, sideways to avoid the collision of the steed, and obliquely blocked the halberd on his back.

There was a crisp sound of weapons clashing.

Liu Ping was sent flying with his halberd, turned over in mid-air, and swept the halberd forward with the undiminished strength just now.

Before one could react, his neck was broken by the halberd, and he fell off his horse.

Liu Ping spun the halberd for half a turn, allowing it to stab another horse.

The man had just raised the knife, but the man and the horse rolled and hit the ground heavily, and suddenly fell into a coma.

Liu Ping stepped forward and pulled out a knife from his waist, cut off the head, kicked it flying out to block the fourth person's long sword, and turned around to hold No. 1's horse that was killed.

While the rabbit was up and down, he borrowed the power of a knife, killed two people and robbed a horse.

"Walk--"

He got on his horse and patted the horse's back with a knife.

The horse was frightened, turned around and galloped towards another road.

"Hurry up! This kid killed both of us!"

Someone in the group shouted angrily.

Everyone hastily turned around and chased towards the path where Liu Ping disappeared.

Can't go a few miles.

They had to slow down.

I saw the young man standing on the cliff in front of him with his head down, as if thinking about something.

Noticing that everyone was coming, he came back to his senses.

"Almost forgot."

He wiped the rainwater off his face, and said with a smile:

"I need to know what kind of kung fu you all have. Otherwise, if you come up with a practice formula or make a gun in a while, you will be disqualified."
