The male protagonist tricked me
Chapter 182 Planning
Li Zhi triumphantly told Song Ao and others the news, and then took the money bag given to him by Uncle Liu, and arrogantly waved it in front of Song Ao, "Did you see this? Ha, only I have, you don’t want to think about it, this is specially prepared for me by Uncle Liu, after all, only I am the most likely, oh no, it should be said, I am the only one who may finally become the son-in-law of the city lord, you guys ... Tsk tsk, no play."
Li Zhi stretched out a finger, waggled at Song Ao's nose with disdain, then put the money bag into his arms, and walked away with a proud face.
Song Ao and Jiang Heng were naturally not interested in this childish provocation, but the news brought by Li Zhi made them very interested.
"This should be something that they didn't expect and arranged temporarily." Song Ao analyzed, "This rhythm is completely inconsistent with the deliberately lengthened pace that old Uncle Liu was in contact with us before."
"Yes." Jiang Heng agreed with Song Ao's point of view, "It seems that he suddenly became very anxious."
Song Ao looked at Jiang Heng worriedly, "Could it be that they discovered your investigation yesterday? Otherwise, I really can't think of a reason why they suddenly became anxious."
Jiang Heng still had a certain amount of confidence in the fact that he wasn't discovered, but he didn't say it to death, "Probably not, but this might not be our opportunity."
"Yes." Song Ao nodded.
This indeed gave them some opportunities - if they hadn't made a breakthrough and continued to procrastinate endlessly, it was very likely that they would be dragged until their star sea power was completely exhausted.
In that case, although it is not completely hopeless, considering the existence of Rank Nine Ring Gu, Song Ao really does not want such a situation to happen.
And now, no matter what reason the city lord started to worry about, it is not a bad thing for them to speed up the progress of the whole thing.
"Let's see what news everyone came back from inquiring today. Tomorrow, maybe it will be our chance."
Perhaps it was because this temporary additional work consumed most of the minds of Old Uncle Liu and his subordinates, but the investigation work of other people went quite smoothly that day.
What I could notice before, the kind of invisible eyes watching them in the streets and alleys seemed to be much less.
At dusk, when everyone returned to their residence for a meeting, Song Ao first listened to everyone's reports.
Bai Yu and Jiang Zijin purchased a lot of things and came back a step earlier. Using the excuse that they were not used to the food here, Bai Yu borrowed the kitchen, and their dinner was made with these freshly purchased ingredients.
When eating, Song Ao naturally attached the power of the five-star sea to his eyes again, and carefully observed the fluctuations of those red lines. As a control group, those guys who didn't know their behavior were still eating the food directly provided by Tiancheng.
Those guys were still very puzzled by Song Ao's behavior.
"As expected of Fourth Young Master Song, it's already in this situation, and you're still so particular about eating." After dinner, Lin Youyou smiled and imitated some people's sour words.
Everyone couldn't help but laughed softly, and then Lin Youyou said solemnly: "At present, I feel that most people are still hesitant in their thinking, and they seem to be hesitant and entangled. Their approval of Li Zhi's behavior The rate is not high, and we have not revealed more things to them - I have to say, this is one of the reasons for their complaints."
Song Ao tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "It's not that we don't want to reveal anything, we didn't catch any signs of something wrong until last night... The way Tiancheng influences people is too subtle, it's hard for people to catch it The essential."
"Yes." Lin You nodded, "Before we only vaguely felt that something was wrong and we should be on guard, but it was because nothing happened that we were more worried and worried, and then in this fearless consumption, we didn't know Unconsciously, the power of the star sea was taken away by Tiancheng."
Everyone has a deep understanding of this point, and at this moment they are all nodding with sympathy.
"When I tried to communicate with them... I asked them if they had practiced recently, but the answer I got made me feel very strange." Lin Youyou began to tell the second result of his investigation.
"I thought it was like when Song Ao reminded us, or they should at least check the situation of their Xinghai, but they didn't." Lin Youyou's expression became serious when he said this.
"The reason is still unknown. I don't know if it's because they don't trust me enough, or something else... In short, when I directly or indirectly ask about Xinghai, or about cultivation, they all use a very strange look. Look at me and ask me 'what's the deal with you'."
"Of course there are those who have a slightly better attitude and will say politely, 'The power of the star sea is not needed here anyway, so it's okay'."
"I feel like they're more affected than we are, and when I try to keep talking, they start avoiding the topic. If I insist on talking about it, they're going to be aggressive. and hostility."
"Affected more deeply than us?" Bai Yu asked, frowning.
"I'm afraid so." Song Ao nodded after listening to Lin Youyou's report, "According to our previous inference, the deeper the contact with this world, the more susceptible it is to be affected by this world... Think about what they did last night. What, we didn't do anything."
Song Ao sighed, then turned his gaze to Zhang Moxi, "How is your side, is it going well?"
"It's okay." Zhang Moxi nodded and took over the conversation, "When I went out in the morning, I was still a little worried that there would be many obstacles today. After being pointed out by Song Ao last night, I thought about it carefully, and there were actually many eyes in the city They are all monitoring us, but today it went unexpectedly smoothly."
"At first, I thought it might be a loophole deliberately placed on me, and I was worried that it was a trap, but when I came back and heard you said that they were going to have a banquet tomorrow, I probably knew it."
"There are more beggars in this city than we imagined if we look carefully. And there are special relief points in the city, and they give porridge to these beggars every morning and evening. I went to see them today, and I feel that the number is more than I thought. much bigger."
"In addition, it is very strange that the beggars in this city are almost all of the same age. If you look closely, you will find that they are actually not very old, but from a distance, they look dry. Their stature, their shambling gait make them look old."
While recalling what he saw, Zhang Moxi told everyone. He also had a solemn expression, frowning all the time, with a very unhappy look on his face.
"Is it premature aging?" Bai Yu's face was full of fear.
"Yes." Zhang Moxi nodded, "I didn't think of a suitable word to describe it just now, it is indeed premature aging... And, according to the various situations I have observed, it is really not optimistic. They..." Zhang Moxi was a little awkward Swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but finally said his inference, "They may even be the people who entered the ancient secret realm with us before."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became even more serious.
When I thought that I might have become like that without knowing it, I couldn't help but feel sick.
"Did you see the dead beggar?" Jiang Heng, who seemed particularly calm among the crowd, suddenly asked a strange question.
Zhang Moxi was taken aback, and then said: "It was my mistake, I didn't go to see it specifically..." He frowned and thought for a while, "However, it is true that a beggar died on the road, and then a guy in a uniform came to carry it Corpses, I think those people should be the 'city guards' that Old Liu mentioned before."
Naturally, Jiang Heng didn't mean to blame Zhang Moxi. After all, they didn't think of this when he assigned the task yesterday, but he thought of adding the question temporarily. It was an unexpected surprise to get such an answer.
"Did you see where they moved the corpse?" Jiang Heng asked again, "Just a general direction is fine."
Zhang Moxi frowned again, closed his eyes again and carefully recalled the flashing scene, and finally said with uncertainty: "I think, the high probability may be... the direction of the City Lord's Mansion."
"It should be." Jiang Heng nodded.
"But, isn't there an insulating barrier in the City Lord's Mansion?" Jiang Zijin asked a little strangely, "Even if the person is dead, but Xinghai is still in the body, how are they going to carry the person through the insulating barrier?"
Jiang Zijin's doubts naturally had his reasons.
After a person dies, the Xinghai will not disappear with him. Compared with the flesh and blood that will eventually rot and deteriorate, the Xinghai is more like an invisible bone that can last for a long time.
Just because it is often difficult to find, it is also difficult to discover in ancient monuments.
But it is difficult to keep it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After death, Xinghai is indeed kept in the body.
In medical practice, soldiers enter the enchantment after emptying the power of the star sea because they can be controlled artificially and take a special drug to temporarily put the star sea into a dormant state.
In many cases, some special operations can only be carried out if they have to enter the insulating barrier - because the power of the star sea is self-defensive, even if the soldier has fallen into a coma or sleep state, approaching him rashly, especially if he wants to move his body The part related to Xinghai is very likely to be attacked or backlashed by the power of Xinghai.
But after a person dies, he cannot control himself. As a container carrier of the power of the star sea, the star sea will lock up the last trace of the power of the star sea. This is why the star sea can be preserved like a skeleton in the end.
So it was normal for Jiang Zijin to have this question.
Hearing his question, the rest of the people also frowned, while Song Ao sighed slightly, and directly stated the cruel conclusion-"Two possibilities, one, this person has been sucked dry by Xinghai Therefore, his star sea has been directly exhausted, and there is no star sea. Second... They will send this person's body to a certain place. If it is to be transported into the city lord's mansion, his star sea will first Dig it out."
These two possibilities were more appalling than the other. Bai Yu and Lin You had two girls whose complexions were extremely pale, and Jiang Zijin and Zhang Moxi were not much better either, they all looked pale.
"Okay, don't be so sad one or two." Seeing that everyone looked scared, Song Ao showed a smile instead, "Although we didn't hear any good news, at least we started to get the news. That's the best news so far."
Hearing what Song Ao said, Bai Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"When did you still have the ability to tell cold jokes? But this joke is really, not funny at all..."
"But didn't you laugh too?" Song Ao curled his lips, "I have some good news to tell you that today's meal used the ingredients bought by Bai Yu and Jiang Zijin. During the verification, it is indeed suitable for the power of the star sea. The influence of absorbing it is a little stronger than directly eating the food provided by him."
"It's still useful..." Hearing this conclusion, Bai Yu felt a little relieved, at least the day's hard work was not in vain, "From now on, we will all eat what we make."
Seeing Bai Yu's relieved look, Song Ao couldn't help feeling amused, "What's the future? If we don't increase the speed, our star sea will have almost no power in the star sea after ten days... Although I guess we will It won't be a beggar on the street directly, but I'm afraid it won't end well either."
"If you don't become a beggar directly, what will you become?" Bai Yu's thoughts are always easily taken away. When she heard Song Ao say this, she immediately freed herself from the emotion just now, curious A new problem arises.
Song Ao stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window facing the street.
It was dusk at this time, the street was gradually turning from bustling to calm, and the setting sun was falling gently, coating Song Ao's figure with a layer of gold, showing a full of handsomeness and gentleness.
However, what Song Ao said made everyone feel chills down their spines—"What did it become? Such a huge sky city, so many people, where do you think they all came from?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the street, "Today I made a special observation during the day. Because of the influence of light during the day, I couldn't see very clearly, so it took me a while. About half of the people on this street, they and us The red thread is connected to the body, but it is much thinner than us, and thicker than those beggars."
"What does this mean? I guess you all have your own answers in your hearts. Even, based on the news you just heard, I guess these civilians with red threads on their bodies, if you ask them, I'm afraid they don't even know what their cultivation is." do not know either."
"Earn money, live, spend, until you have nothing, you become a beggar, and finally disappear in obscurity. The little bit of value, continue to support the city."
"This is Tiancheng, a place that eats people."
His tone was calm, and he looked out of the window, like a saint who looked down on all living beings with pity.
However, they are all in the city, in the game, struggling to survive, not knowing if they will be able to escape this fate in the end.
Everyone's hearts were crumpled into a ball by his few words, and they were raised high, tangled up abnormally.
Then they heard Song Ao humming lightly again.
"This is the case in Tiancheng, the Empire...isn't it the same?"
He said this sentence very lightly, as if he was just talking to himself, but it sounded like thunder in the hearts of everyone - the empire!Exactly so!
Since the establishment of the empire and the four factions established their dominance, their influence has become more and more intertwined, and the content and scope of their jurisdiction have also grown. Blood-sucking monster.
They never realized it, because they were part of that blood-sucking monster!
But now, in this small Tiancheng where they are helpless and spend their days on guard and fear every day, they have a deep understanding of that feeling...
All of a sudden, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, but Jiang Heng's eyes lit up, as if a spark had been ignited.
He walked behind Song Ao, and together with him looked at the various faces hurrying by outside the window, and said softly, "Change everything."
Song Ao was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at Jiang Heng, "Do you mean Tiancheng, or Empire?"
"Together." Jiang Heng's answer was short but powerful.
It is rare for him to be so enthusiastic and persistent about a topic, Song Ao naturally couldn't bear to refuse.
It's just their current situation, let alone changing the empire, can they return to the empire alive?
As if seeing Song Ao's hesitation, Jiang Heng rarely curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, we can do it." His voice was very low, even though the room was not big, only he and Song Ao could hear it.
Jiang Heng looked into Song Ao's eyes, his eyes were full of firmness and persistence.
"As long as you promise me, we can do it."
Looking at those eyes like an abyss, Song Ao felt that he couldn't help but sink into it.
Whether it's the soul, feelings, or this life...whatever he wants, he can ask for it, what else can't be promised to him?
"Okay, I promise you." Just staring at each other quietly, Song Ao's heart completely fell into place.
Although the future is unknown, he is no longer afraid.
Because he knew that no matter what, they would go on together.
Song Ao secretly made a decision in his heart—maybe, when this matter is over, he should confess to Jiang Heng about the Nine Turns Back Ring Gu.
He already had 80.00% certainty that Jiang Heng would forgive himself.
The remaining 20.00%, isn't it worth his gamble?
It's only been a few days since I came to Tiancheng, but for everyone, it feels like a year.
In a short period of time, they experienced too much, as if they wanted to make up for the two years they missed in the outside world, they desperately increased their speed, and stuffed them with too many things.
This is indeed a kind of rapid growth, but at the cost of tearing the bones and blood, the way of regrowing is indeed too painful.
Now, Lin Youyou felt that she could understand why when she tried to talk about cultivation with other people, they were disgusted and repelled.
In fact, this is not because their relationship with Lin Youyou is not close enough, but because this heavenly city has guided out the greatest inertia in human nature.
"Just go with the flow, don't work hard, don't practice, don't think about things that go against the sky" - almost every minute, Tiancheng is asking everyone in the city people continue to convey this belief.
If a person's own will is not firm enough, he will naturally be easily affected by it.
After figuring out everything, Lin Youyou heaved a long sigh.
Perhaps accepting Tiancheng's hint, gradually changing from an outsider to a "city resident", and finally becoming a beggar, dying quietly on the streets of Tiancheng, is not a kind of happiness.
However, she was very fortunate that at that time, she stood up and stood on Song Ao's side.
She was unwilling, unwilling, and didn't want to just compromise like this, and ruin her life in such an inexplicable muddle-headed way.
What's more, Song Ao's seemingly inadvertent words today made her feel as if she had lifted the clouds and mist in front of her eyes, and saw a wider world, and also saw the decayed things behind the world in the shadows.
Will they have a chance?
Change Tiancheng, or even... change the empire? !
For some reason, although this is still a very far away thing, so far away that it is completely unattainable, as soon as he thinks about it, Lin Youyou can't help but feel excited and surging in his heart.
"Why, can't you fall asleep?" Just as Lin Youyou was blowing the night wind alone, savoring the feeling of today, a slightly smiling voice came from behind.
Lin You was taken aback for a while, and after sorting out the expressions on his face, he turned his head to look at the person who came by, "Is it you? You can't sleep either?"
"Well, I'm a little insomnia." Zhang Moxi walked to Lin Youyou's side, and stood side by side with her, "Sometimes I envy that guy Jiang Zijin, he's already sleeping in the dark, ha, it's really nice to have a big heart. "
"Hahaha..." Lin Youyou also laughed softly, "On this point, although he and Bai Yu don't like each other, they are exactly the same..."
Thinking of his roommate sleeping soundly while hugging the quilt, Lin Youyou smiled gently, "But maybe it's because they've been with Song Ao and Jiang Heng for a long time and got used to this feeling?"
"It turns out that I'm not the only one who feels this way." Zhang Moxi supported the railing of the balcony with both hands, exhaled a breath of depression in his chest, and sighed: "I just feel lucky now, I'm glad that I decided to go with Song Ao and the others... Hey, although my ability is not strong, I made a decision that can save my life, which is great."
"I think so too." Seeing that Zhang Moxi had the same thoughts as himself, Lin Youyou couldn't help but smiled again, "And... when I heard Song Ao talk about Tiancheng and the Empire today, I suddenly felt very sad. Shocking. What he said was right, but after living in the empire for so many years, I never realized it.”
"After all, we are the children of a family." Zhang Moxi shook his head with some regret, "Although they are only small families, the situation in the empire is indeed much better than those common people..."
"But what about in the future?" Lin Youyou shook his head solemnly, "Don't you feel it? The oppression of the common people by the big family is becoming more and more unsatisfactory, and more pressure has been transferred to the small family .And because of this, the small family will intensify to suck blood from the people..."
Zhang Moxi was silent for a while, and then heard Lin Youyou continue: "Like this Tiancheng, it is because there are so-called 'outsiders' who are used as their batteries in a steady stream. But if the empire continues like before, it will continue to repeat itself. Consume itself, then the empire will only collapse and decline faster!"
"Yes, you are right." Zhang Moxi was a little stunned, "But... the empire has been like this for thousands of years, is there any way you can change the empire?"
The arrogant Lin Youyou choked when he asked, and her momentum quickly weakened, but she seemed very unwilling to admit that she had no choice, so she just clenched her fists and said, "I don't know yet, but I think , maybe continue to follow Song Ao and Jiang Heng... we will eventually find that answer."
Zhang Moxi didn't answer.
In fact, he really thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly like Lin Youyou did.
This road is destined to be rough and uneasy, with too many dangers and too many unknowns.
Zhang Moxi is still hesitating, he doesn't know whether he wants to go on this road with them.
If he can successfully leave Tiancheng, leave the ancient secret realm and return to the empire, what should he choose?
Go back to the Zhang family, continue to follow the pace of the family, and try to find a shelter in the troubled times...or choose...
Shaking his head, Zhang Moxi threw out those thoughts that were still far away.
In two years, the outside world may have changed far beyond his imagination, and he was not as optimistic as Lin Youyou.
Thinking of the situation at home, Zhang Moxi couldn't help but sigh slightly.
I am afraid that only after I really go back can I make a choice.
Putting aside the heavy topic, Zhang Moxi asked another lighter question, which also made him curious for a long time, "I don't know if it will be a bit abrupt to ask you this question. If you don't mind, you don't have to answer me." ...Obviously you are such a beautiful and lovely girl, why do you dress up as a boy to show others?"
"There's nothing you can't answer." Lin Youyou said indifferently, "Being a man has many conveniences that women can't enjoy."
"I don't deny this..." Zhang Moxi said, "But, being a woman does have conveniences that men can't enjoy."
"Yes, you're right." Lin Youyou turned his head with a smile and blinked at Zhang Moxi.Her voice suddenly became thin and soft, with a sense of tenderness unique to women, "So when necessary, I will also show myself as a woman."
We had a good chat just now, but halfway through the conversation, the little friends "transgendered" on the spot, which almost didn't scare Zhang Moxi.However, besides this, his heart beat uncontrollably.
This... This is really, kind of cute!
"Okay, I won't tease you." Lin Youyou changed back to his original voice and smiled, "It's actually very simple. Everyone in our Lin family can speak with two voices, and to a certain extent, they can speak both. Gender dressing. This has a little relationship with our Lin family's family secrets, but the main reason is the occupation that our Lin family has always been engaged in."
"Psychiatrist?" Zhang Moxi still remembered Lin Youyou mentioned it when he introduced the insulating barrier to everyone.
"Yes." Lin You nodded. "Patients with mental illness always have a lot of strange preferences, or various requirements. In order not to irritate the patients as much as possible, we also need to change our attire or even gender during diagnosis and treatment. , to minimize the patient’s resistance.”
This is the first time Zhang Moxi heard about this kind of thing, so she couldn't help being curious, "All kinds of requests, for example?"
"For example, some female patients may have male phobia. My brother once dressed as a woman to treat patients."
"Pfft..." Zhang Moxi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Isn't that outrageous?"
"What is this?" Lin Youyou rolled his eyes, "My sister once disguised herself as a man in order to treat a man who feared women, and then the patient said that my sister's men's clothes looked like a male star he hated. It's even more disgusting than when he sees a woman, and it almost pissed off my sister to death."
"Ahahahaha..." Following Lin Youyou's narration, Zhang Moxi couldn't help laughing out loud, "God, I hope you won't meet so many weird patients in the future."
Hearing what he said, Lin Youyou's originally bright smiling face could not help but dimmed, "Hey...I'm afraid it's impossible, and there will only be more and more people with psychological problems in the future."
"How to say?" Zhang Moxi frowned a little puzzled.
Lin Youyou shook his head slightly, "Did you know that although the empire has been peaceful internally and there have been no large-scale wars externally in recent years, the incidence of mental illness and suicide rates have been increasing. And this is after excluding military data. Later private data."
When it comes to his profession, Lin Youyou's attitude gradually became serious, "It is clear that there is peace inside and outside, but the people don't feel happy in life, and even carry a lot of burden on their backs, and social conflicts are intensifying..."
"The current empire is like a train full of passengers, speeding towards an unknown place. But we don't know whether the train will derail first, or the people in the carriage can't bear it first..."
Lin Youyou's hand on the railing gradually tightened, and his nails turned white with blood, "Medical and psychological medical treatment can't save the empire... As a doctor, I can't accept all this, but I can't help it. So, when When I heard Song Ao say that today, I suddenly understood the root of the problem."
"Only by getting rid of that lesion, can there be hope for the future...or in other words, there will be a future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Moxi looked at Lin Youyou in a daze, unable to recover for a while.
Compared with his own hesitation, hesitation, repetition and retreat, Lin Youyou's firmness and courage made him speechless and admirable.
However, before Zhang Moxi could speak, a somewhat sparse perfunctory applause came from the side.
Neither of them realized that there were people nearby, and their hearts were raised in their throats for a moment.
It's just that when they saw the man clearly, they were all taken aback.
"Kuang Yin?" Lin Youyou asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I've been here all the time, and I was forced to listen to Mrs. Lin's speech. I have to say, the speech was very good." Kuang Yin curled the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up.
However, Lin Youyou was not happy with being praised. She frowned and looked at Kuangyin suspiciously, "We were in Tiancheng for five days, why didn't I see you at all? Where did you go? "
"I didn't go anywhere." Kuang Yin shrugged, "As we all know, I'm a lazy and lazy person, and I don't have the leisure time to run around like you."
"Then do you know what happened to Tiancheng and all of us who came here in the past five days?" Lin Youyou asked again.
"Ah... of course I know." Kuang Yin stretched out a hand to straighten her hair, "Why do you have so many questions, otherwise don't call me Lin Youyou, change your name to Lin Wenwen."
Lin Youyou only felt that Kuangyin was suspicious, but he was not at all interested in bickering with him.
So Lin Youyou asked again, "Have you practiced these days? How is Xinghai doing?"
While asking, Lin Youyou quickly tried to recall the images related to Kuangyin in his mind.
However, Zhang Moxi, who whispered in her ear, verified her conjecture, "Except for the first day, when he entered the courtyard with us and lived there, he never showed up when we went out every day."
Didn't go out at all, never went out?
more suspicious...
However, just when Lin Youyou thought that Kuang Yin would be like those other people, talking about him from left to right, or simply ignoring the issue, Kuang Yin showed a slightly sad smile.
"I've practiced... so now I'm about to die."
Lin Youyou was startled, "Then you still?!"
Kuang Yin pointed to where Lin Youyou and the others were standing, "You guys just happened to be on the balcony opposite to my room balcony. Anyway...can you call Song Ao for me? Also, I need something to eat..."
Even though it was late at night, and everything about Kuangyin seemed very suspicious, Lin Youyou and Zhang Moxi split up and acted separately. Zhang Moxi went to call Song Ao and Jiang Heng, and Lin Youyou went to the kitchen to see what else was there. It can be given to Kuangyin to cushion his stomach for the time being.
For their practitioners, if they don't eat for three to five days, in fact, there will be no problem on weekdays.Because the movement of the power of the star sea has its own energy, which can nourish the meridians and internal organs.
However, in the current environment like Tiancheng, if one does not eat for five days... I am afraid that the time limit for human beings is really approaching.
So after a long period of chaos, Kuang Yin finally had a mouthful of something warm.
And Song Ao and Jiang Heng also sat in Kuang Yin's room, watching him eat a bowl of noodles whole.
It wasn't until Kuang Yin finished the last sip of noodle soup that he regained some energy.He hiccupped, rubbed his stomach with one hand and said, "Although I'm full...how come I feel weaker..."
"You feel right." Song Ao crossed his arms and looked at Kuang Yin with some amusement, "Eating, drinking, or contacting people in this world are the medium through which this city absorbs the power of our star sea."
After saying this, Kuang Yin was so frightened that he almost spit out all the noodles he just ate.
Seeming to see through his thoughts, Song Ao waved his hand in advance, "Don't throw up, it will take effect after eating, don't waste food and starve again. Okay, let's say it now, you have practiced in the past five days What?"
Song Ao's attitude was indifferent on the face, but he couldn't help feeling very sad in his heart.
It seems that Tiancheng has indeed influenced too much in a subtle way, because Kuang Yin did not appear, he almost forgot that there is such a person as Kuang Yin.
And among all the people who entered here together, none of them even mentioned this matter, this person who had never appeared since the first day.
At the same time, cultivation is very, very dangerous without the power of the star sea being replenished. Once something goes wrong and the power of the star sea is exhausted, one will face eternal doom, ranging from damage to the star sea to death.
However, there was one thing that surprised Song Ao even more - Kuang Yin actually said that he had cultivated.In a situation where everyone is vague and forgetful about this, he still practiced?
Facing Song Ao's questioning eyes, Kuang Yin coughed lightly, and cast his eyes away from Lin Youyou and Zhang Moxi.
"It's okay, you can tell." Song Ao said, "These two are my own, but I'm afraid I have to tell you about the current situation first."
After Song Ao finished summarizing the current situation in a few words, Kuang Yin touched his chin thoughtfully, "I suspect that there is another huge formation in this city that can induce and influence people's thinking. And the reason why I didn't Being affected, I am afraid it has something to do with the family secret law..."
In view of the presence of Lin Youyou and Zhang Moxi, Kuang Yin's words were rather vague. Song Ao also understood that he didn't point it out. He just said in his heart that the Kuang family can transmit voices among family members, so as to prevent these mental and spiritual disturbances from the outside world. Naturally, we must find a way to block it, so Kuang Yin was not induced by Tiancheng, which is normal.
"However, I do have some news, which may be related to their request to choose a son-in-law in advance."
Hearing what Kuang Yin said, everyone's eyes lit up, "What?
Li Zhi stretched out a finger, waggled at Song Ao's nose with disdain, then put the money bag into his arms, and walked away with a proud face.
Song Ao and Jiang Heng were naturally not interested in this childish provocation, but the news brought by Li Zhi made them very interested.
"This should be something that they didn't expect and arranged temporarily." Song Ao analyzed, "This rhythm is completely inconsistent with the deliberately lengthened pace that old Uncle Liu was in contact with us before."
"Yes." Jiang Heng agreed with Song Ao's point of view, "It seems that he suddenly became very anxious."
Song Ao looked at Jiang Heng worriedly, "Could it be that they discovered your investigation yesterday? Otherwise, I really can't think of a reason why they suddenly became anxious."
Jiang Heng still had a certain amount of confidence in the fact that he wasn't discovered, but he didn't say it to death, "Probably not, but this might not be our opportunity."
"Yes." Song Ao nodded.
This indeed gave them some opportunities - if they hadn't made a breakthrough and continued to procrastinate endlessly, it was very likely that they would be dragged until their star sea power was completely exhausted.
In that case, although it is not completely hopeless, considering the existence of Rank Nine Ring Gu, Song Ao really does not want such a situation to happen.
And now, no matter what reason the city lord started to worry about, it is not a bad thing for them to speed up the progress of the whole thing.
"Let's see what news everyone came back from inquiring today. Tomorrow, maybe it will be our chance."
Perhaps it was because this temporary additional work consumed most of the minds of Old Uncle Liu and his subordinates, but the investigation work of other people went quite smoothly that day.
What I could notice before, the kind of invisible eyes watching them in the streets and alleys seemed to be much less.
At dusk, when everyone returned to their residence for a meeting, Song Ao first listened to everyone's reports.
Bai Yu and Jiang Zijin purchased a lot of things and came back a step earlier. Using the excuse that they were not used to the food here, Bai Yu borrowed the kitchen, and their dinner was made with these freshly purchased ingredients.
When eating, Song Ao naturally attached the power of the five-star sea to his eyes again, and carefully observed the fluctuations of those red lines. As a control group, those guys who didn't know their behavior were still eating the food directly provided by Tiancheng.
Those guys were still very puzzled by Song Ao's behavior.
"As expected of Fourth Young Master Song, it's already in this situation, and you're still so particular about eating." After dinner, Lin Youyou smiled and imitated some people's sour words.
Everyone couldn't help but laughed softly, and then Lin Youyou said solemnly: "At present, I feel that most people are still hesitant in their thinking, and they seem to be hesitant and entangled. Their approval of Li Zhi's behavior The rate is not high, and we have not revealed more things to them - I have to say, this is one of the reasons for their complaints."
Song Ao tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "It's not that we don't want to reveal anything, we didn't catch any signs of something wrong until last night... The way Tiancheng influences people is too subtle, it's hard for people to catch it The essential."
"Yes." Lin You nodded, "Before we only vaguely felt that something was wrong and we should be on guard, but it was because nothing happened that we were more worried and worried, and then in this fearless consumption, we didn't know Unconsciously, the power of the star sea was taken away by Tiancheng."
Everyone has a deep understanding of this point, and at this moment they are all nodding with sympathy.
"When I tried to communicate with them... I asked them if they had practiced recently, but the answer I got made me feel very strange." Lin Youyou began to tell the second result of his investigation.
"I thought it was like when Song Ao reminded us, or they should at least check the situation of their Xinghai, but they didn't." Lin Youyou's expression became serious when he said this.
"The reason is still unknown. I don't know if it's because they don't trust me enough, or something else... In short, when I directly or indirectly ask about Xinghai, or about cultivation, they all use a very strange look. Look at me and ask me 'what's the deal with you'."
"Of course there are those who have a slightly better attitude and will say politely, 'The power of the star sea is not needed here anyway, so it's okay'."
"I feel like they're more affected than we are, and when I try to keep talking, they start avoiding the topic. If I insist on talking about it, they're going to be aggressive. and hostility."
"Affected more deeply than us?" Bai Yu asked, frowning.
"I'm afraid so." Song Ao nodded after listening to Lin Youyou's report, "According to our previous inference, the deeper the contact with this world, the more susceptible it is to be affected by this world... Think about what they did last night. What, we didn't do anything."
Song Ao sighed, then turned his gaze to Zhang Moxi, "How is your side, is it going well?"
"It's okay." Zhang Moxi nodded and took over the conversation, "When I went out in the morning, I was still a little worried that there would be many obstacles today. After being pointed out by Song Ao last night, I thought about it carefully, and there were actually many eyes in the city They are all monitoring us, but today it went unexpectedly smoothly."
"At first, I thought it might be a loophole deliberately placed on me, and I was worried that it was a trap, but when I came back and heard you said that they were going to have a banquet tomorrow, I probably knew it."
"There are more beggars in this city than we imagined if we look carefully. And there are special relief points in the city, and they give porridge to these beggars every morning and evening. I went to see them today, and I feel that the number is more than I thought. much bigger."
"In addition, it is very strange that the beggars in this city are almost all of the same age. If you look closely, you will find that they are actually not very old, but from a distance, they look dry. Their stature, their shambling gait make them look old."
While recalling what he saw, Zhang Moxi told everyone. He also had a solemn expression, frowning all the time, with a very unhappy look on his face.
"Is it premature aging?" Bai Yu's face was full of fear.
"Yes." Zhang Moxi nodded, "I didn't think of a suitable word to describe it just now, it is indeed premature aging... And, according to the various situations I have observed, it is really not optimistic. They..." Zhang Moxi was a little awkward Swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but finally said his inference, "They may even be the people who entered the ancient secret realm with us before."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became even more serious.
When I thought that I might have become like that without knowing it, I couldn't help but feel sick.
"Did you see the dead beggar?" Jiang Heng, who seemed particularly calm among the crowd, suddenly asked a strange question.
Zhang Moxi was taken aback, and then said: "It was my mistake, I didn't go to see it specifically..." He frowned and thought for a while, "However, it is true that a beggar died on the road, and then a guy in a uniform came to carry it Corpses, I think those people should be the 'city guards' that Old Liu mentioned before."
Naturally, Jiang Heng didn't mean to blame Zhang Moxi. After all, they didn't think of this when he assigned the task yesterday, but he thought of adding the question temporarily. It was an unexpected surprise to get such an answer.
"Did you see where they moved the corpse?" Jiang Heng asked again, "Just a general direction is fine."
Zhang Moxi frowned again, closed his eyes again and carefully recalled the flashing scene, and finally said with uncertainty: "I think, the high probability may be... the direction of the City Lord's Mansion."
"It should be." Jiang Heng nodded.
"But, isn't there an insulating barrier in the City Lord's Mansion?" Jiang Zijin asked a little strangely, "Even if the person is dead, but Xinghai is still in the body, how are they going to carry the person through the insulating barrier?"
Jiang Zijin's doubts naturally had his reasons.
After a person dies, the Xinghai will not disappear with him. Compared with the flesh and blood that will eventually rot and deteriorate, the Xinghai is more like an invisible bone that can last for a long time.
Just because it is often difficult to find, it is also difficult to discover in ancient monuments.
But it is difficult to keep it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After death, Xinghai is indeed kept in the body.
In medical practice, soldiers enter the enchantment after emptying the power of the star sea because they can be controlled artificially and take a special drug to temporarily put the star sea into a dormant state.
In many cases, some special operations can only be carried out if they have to enter the insulating barrier - because the power of the star sea is self-defensive, even if the soldier has fallen into a coma or sleep state, approaching him rashly, especially if he wants to move his body The part related to Xinghai is very likely to be attacked or backlashed by the power of Xinghai.
But after a person dies, he cannot control himself. As a container carrier of the power of the star sea, the star sea will lock up the last trace of the power of the star sea. This is why the star sea can be preserved like a skeleton in the end.
So it was normal for Jiang Zijin to have this question.
Hearing his question, the rest of the people also frowned, while Song Ao sighed slightly, and directly stated the cruel conclusion-"Two possibilities, one, this person has been sucked dry by Xinghai Therefore, his star sea has been directly exhausted, and there is no star sea. Second... They will send this person's body to a certain place. If it is to be transported into the city lord's mansion, his star sea will first Dig it out."
These two possibilities were more appalling than the other. Bai Yu and Lin You had two girls whose complexions were extremely pale, and Jiang Zijin and Zhang Moxi were not much better either, they all looked pale.
"Okay, don't be so sad one or two." Seeing that everyone looked scared, Song Ao showed a smile instead, "Although we didn't hear any good news, at least we started to get the news. That's the best news so far."
Hearing what Song Ao said, Bai Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"When did you still have the ability to tell cold jokes? But this joke is really, not funny at all..."
"But didn't you laugh too?" Song Ao curled his lips, "I have some good news to tell you that today's meal used the ingredients bought by Bai Yu and Jiang Zijin. During the verification, it is indeed suitable for the power of the star sea. The influence of absorbing it is a little stronger than directly eating the food provided by him."
"It's still useful..." Hearing this conclusion, Bai Yu felt a little relieved, at least the day's hard work was not in vain, "From now on, we will all eat what we make."
Seeing Bai Yu's relieved look, Song Ao couldn't help feeling amused, "What's the future? If we don't increase the speed, our star sea will have almost no power in the star sea after ten days... Although I guess we will It won't be a beggar on the street directly, but I'm afraid it won't end well either."
"If you don't become a beggar directly, what will you become?" Bai Yu's thoughts are always easily taken away. When she heard Song Ao say this, she immediately freed herself from the emotion just now, curious A new problem arises.
Song Ao stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window facing the street.
It was dusk at this time, the street was gradually turning from bustling to calm, and the setting sun was falling gently, coating Song Ao's figure with a layer of gold, showing a full of handsomeness and gentleness.
However, what Song Ao said made everyone feel chills down their spines—"What did it become? Such a huge sky city, so many people, where do you think they all came from?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the street, "Today I made a special observation during the day. Because of the influence of light during the day, I couldn't see very clearly, so it took me a while. About half of the people on this street, they and us The red thread is connected to the body, but it is much thinner than us, and thicker than those beggars."
"What does this mean? I guess you all have your own answers in your hearts. Even, based on the news you just heard, I guess these civilians with red threads on their bodies, if you ask them, I'm afraid they don't even know what their cultivation is." do not know either."
"Earn money, live, spend, until you have nothing, you become a beggar, and finally disappear in obscurity. The little bit of value, continue to support the city."
"This is Tiancheng, a place that eats people."
His tone was calm, and he looked out of the window, like a saint who looked down on all living beings with pity.
However, they are all in the city, in the game, struggling to survive, not knowing if they will be able to escape this fate in the end.
Everyone's hearts were crumpled into a ball by his few words, and they were raised high, tangled up abnormally.
Then they heard Song Ao humming lightly again.
"This is the case in Tiancheng, the Empire...isn't it the same?"
He said this sentence very lightly, as if he was just talking to himself, but it sounded like thunder in the hearts of everyone - the empire!Exactly so!
Since the establishment of the empire and the four factions established their dominance, their influence has become more and more intertwined, and the content and scope of their jurisdiction have also grown. Blood-sucking monster.
They never realized it, because they were part of that blood-sucking monster!
But now, in this small Tiancheng where they are helpless and spend their days on guard and fear every day, they have a deep understanding of that feeling...
All of a sudden, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, but Jiang Heng's eyes lit up, as if a spark had been ignited.
He walked behind Song Ao, and together with him looked at the various faces hurrying by outside the window, and said softly, "Change everything."
Song Ao was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at Jiang Heng, "Do you mean Tiancheng, or Empire?"
"Together." Jiang Heng's answer was short but powerful.
It is rare for him to be so enthusiastic and persistent about a topic, Song Ao naturally couldn't bear to refuse.
It's just their current situation, let alone changing the empire, can they return to the empire alive?
As if seeing Song Ao's hesitation, Jiang Heng rarely curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, we can do it." His voice was very low, even though the room was not big, only he and Song Ao could hear it.
Jiang Heng looked into Song Ao's eyes, his eyes were full of firmness and persistence.
"As long as you promise me, we can do it."
Looking at those eyes like an abyss, Song Ao felt that he couldn't help but sink into it.
Whether it's the soul, feelings, or this life...whatever he wants, he can ask for it, what else can't be promised to him?
"Okay, I promise you." Just staring at each other quietly, Song Ao's heart completely fell into place.
Although the future is unknown, he is no longer afraid.
Because he knew that no matter what, they would go on together.
Song Ao secretly made a decision in his heart—maybe, when this matter is over, he should confess to Jiang Heng about the Nine Turns Back Ring Gu.
He already had 80.00% certainty that Jiang Heng would forgive himself.
The remaining 20.00%, isn't it worth his gamble?
It's only been a few days since I came to Tiancheng, but for everyone, it feels like a year.
In a short period of time, they experienced too much, as if they wanted to make up for the two years they missed in the outside world, they desperately increased their speed, and stuffed them with too many things.
This is indeed a kind of rapid growth, but at the cost of tearing the bones and blood, the way of regrowing is indeed too painful.
Now, Lin Youyou felt that she could understand why when she tried to talk about cultivation with other people, they were disgusted and repelled.
In fact, this is not because their relationship with Lin Youyou is not close enough, but because this heavenly city has guided out the greatest inertia in human nature.
"Just go with the flow, don't work hard, don't practice, don't think about things that go against the sky" - almost every minute, Tiancheng is asking everyone in the city people continue to convey this belief.
If a person's own will is not firm enough, he will naturally be easily affected by it.
After figuring out everything, Lin Youyou heaved a long sigh.
Perhaps accepting Tiancheng's hint, gradually changing from an outsider to a "city resident", and finally becoming a beggar, dying quietly on the streets of Tiancheng, is not a kind of happiness.
However, she was very fortunate that at that time, she stood up and stood on Song Ao's side.
She was unwilling, unwilling, and didn't want to just compromise like this, and ruin her life in such an inexplicable muddle-headed way.
What's more, Song Ao's seemingly inadvertent words today made her feel as if she had lifted the clouds and mist in front of her eyes, and saw a wider world, and also saw the decayed things behind the world in the shadows.
Will they have a chance?
Change Tiancheng, or even... change the empire? !
For some reason, although this is still a very far away thing, so far away that it is completely unattainable, as soon as he thinks about it, Lin Youyou can't help but feel excited and surging in his heart.
"Why, can't you fall asleep?" Just as Lin Youyou was blowing the night wind alone, savoring the feeling of today, a slightly smiling voice came from behind.
Lin You was taken aback for a while, and after sorting out the expressions on his face, he turned his head to look at the person who came by, "Is it you? You can't sleep either?"
"Well, I'm a little insomnia." Zhang Moxi walked to Lin Youyou's side, and stood side by side with her, "Sometimes I envy that guy Jiang Zijin, he's already sleeping in the dark, ha, it's really nice to have a big heart. "
"Hahaha..." Lin Youyou also laughed softly, "On this point, although he and Bai Yu don't like each other, they are exactly the same..."
Thinking of his roommate sleeping soundly while hugging the quilt, Lin Youyou smiled gently, "But maybe it's because they've been with Song Ao and Jiang Heng for a long time and got used to this feeling?"
"It turns out that I'm not the only one who feels this way." Zhang Moxi supported the railing of the balcony with both hands, exhaled a breath of depression in his chest, and sighed: "I just feel lucky now, I'm glad that I decided to go with Song Ao and the others... Hey, although my ability is not strong, I made a decision that can save my life, which is great."
"I think so too." Seeing that Zhang Moxi had the same thoughts as himself, Lin Youyou couldn't help but smiled again, "And... when I heard Song Ao talk about Tiancheng and the Empire today, I suddenly felt very sad. Shocking. What he said was right, but after living in the empire for so many years, I never realized it.”
"After all, we are the children of a family." Zhang Moxi shook his head with some regret, "Although they are only small families, the situation in the empire is indeed much better than those common people..."
"But what about in the future?" Lin Youyou shook his head solemnly, "Don't you feel it? The oppression of the common people by the big family is becoming more and more unsatisfactory, and more pressure has been transferred to the small family .And because of this, the small family will intensify to suck blood from the people..."
Zhang Moxi was silent for a while, and then heard Lin Youyou continue: "Like this Tiancheng, it is because there are so-called 'outsiders' who are used as their batteries in a steady stream. But if the empire continues like before, it will continue to repeat itself. Consume itself, then the empire will only collapse and decline faster!"
"Yes, you are right." Zhang Moxi was a little stunned, "But... the empire has been like this for thousands of years, is there any way you can change the empire?"
The arrogant Lin Youyou choked when he asked, and her momentum quickly weakened, but she seemed very unwilling to admit that she had no choice, so she just clenched her fists and said, "I don't know yet, but I think , maybe continue to follow Song Ao and Jiang Heng... we will eventually find that answer."
Zhang Moxi didn't answer.
In fact, he really thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly like Lin Youyou did.
This road is destined to be rough and uneasy, with too many dangers and too many unknowns.
Zhang Moxi is still hesitating, he doesn't know whether he wants to go on this road with them.
If he can successfully leave Tiancheng, leave the ancient secret realm and return to the empire, what should he choose?
Go back to the Zhang family, continue to follow the pace of the family, and try to find a shelter in the troubled times...or choose...
Shaking his head, Zhang Moxi threw out those thoughts that were still far away.
In two years, the outside world may have changed far beyond his imagination, and he was not as optimistic as Lin Youyou.
Thinking of the situation at home, Zhang Moxi couldn't help but sigh slightly.
I am afraid that only after I really go back can I make a choice.
Putting aside the heavy topic, Zhang Moxi asked another lighter question, which also made him curious for a long time, "I don't know if it will be a bit abrupt to ask you this question. If you don't mind, you don't have to answer me." ...Obviously you are such a beautiful and lovely girl, why do you dress up as a boy to show others?"
"There's nothing you can't answer." Lin Youyou said indifferently, "Being a man has many conveniences that women can't enjoy."
"I don't deny this..." Zhang Moxi said, "But, being a woman does have conveniences that men can't enjoy."
"Yes, you're right." Lin Youyou turned his head with a smile and blinked at Zhang Moxi.Her voice suddenly became thin and soft, with a sense of tenderness unique to women, "So when necessary, I will also show myself as a woman."
We had a good chat just now, but halfway through the conversation, the little friends "transgendered" on the spot, which almost didn't scare Zhang Moxi.However, besides this, his heart beat uncontrollably.
This... This is really, kind of cute!
"Okay, I won't tease you." Lin Youyou changed back to his original voice and smiled, "It's actually very simple. Everyone in our Lin family can speak with two voices, and to a certain extent, they can speak both. Gender dressing. This has a little relationship with our Lin family's family secrets, but the main reason is the occupation that our Lin family has always been engaged in."
"Psychiatrist?" Zhang Moxi still remembered Lin Youyou mentioned it when he introduced the insulating barrier to everyone.
"Yes." Lin You nodded. "Patients with mental illness always have a lot of strange preferences, or various requirements. In order not to irritate the patients as much as possible, we also need to change our attire or even gender during diagnosis and treatment. , to minimize the patient’s resistance.”
This is the first time Zhang Moxi heard about this kind of thing, so she couldn't help being curious, "All kinds of requests, for example?"
"For example, some female patients may have male phobia. My brother once dressed as a woman to treat patients."
"Pfft..." Zhang Moxi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Isn't that outrageous?"
"What is this?" Lin Youyou rolled his eyes, "My sister once disguised herself as a man in order to treat a man who feared women, and then the patient said that my sister's men's clothes looked like a male star he hated. It's even more disgusting than when he sees a woman, and it almost pissed off my sister to death."
"Ahahahaha..." Following Lin Youyou's narration, Zhang Moxi couldn't help laughing out loud, "God, I hope you won't meet so many weird patients in the future."
Hearing what he said, Lin Youyou's originally bright smiling face could not help but dimmed, "Hey...I'm afraid it's impossible, and there will only be more and more people with psychological problems in the future."
"How to say?" Zhang Moxi frowned a little puzzled.
Lin Youyou shook his head slightly, "Did you know that although the empire has been peaceful internally and there have been no large-scale wars externally in recent years, the incidence of mental illness and suicide rates have been increasing. And this is after excluding military data. Later private data."
When it comes to his profession, Lin Youyou's attitude gradually became serious, "It is clear that there is peace inside and outside, but the people don't feel happy in life, and even carry a lot of burden on their backs, and social conflicts are intensifying..."
"The current empire is like a train full of passengers, speeding towards an unknown place. But we don't know whether the train will derail first, or the people in the carriage can't bear it first..."
Lin Youyou's hand on the railing gradually tightened, and his nails turned white with blood, "Medical and psychological medical treatment can't save the empire... As a doctor, I can't accept all this, but I can't help it. So, when When I heard Song Ao say that today, I suddenly understood the root of the problem."
"Only by getting rid of that lesion, can there be hope for the future...or in other words, there will be a future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Moxi looked at Lin Youyou in a daze, unable to recover for a while.
Compared with his own hesitation, hesitation, repetition and retreat, Lin Youyou's firmness and courage made him speechless and admirable.
However, before Zhang Moxi could speak, a somewhat sparse perfunctory applause came from the side.
Neither of them realized that there were people nearby, and their hearts were raised in their throats for a moment.
It's just that when they saw the man clearly, they were all taken aback.
"Kuang Yin?" Lin Youyou asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I've been here all the time, and I was forced to listen to Mrs. Lin's speech. I have to say, the speech was very good." Kuang Yin curled the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs up.
However, Lin Youyou was not happy with being praised. She frowned and looked at Kuangyin suspiciously, "We were in Tiancheng for five days, why didn't I see you at all? Where did you go? "
"I didn't go anywhere." Kuang Yin shrugged, "As we all know, I'm a lazy and lazy person, and I don't have the leisure time to run around like you."
"Then do you know what happened to Tiancheng and all of us who came here in the past five days?" Lin Youyou asked again.
"Ah... of course I know." Kuang Yin stretched out a hand to straighten her hair, "Why do you have so many questions, otherwise don't call me Lin Youyou, change your name to Lin Wenwen."
Lin Youyou only felt that Kuangyin was suspicious, but he was not at all interested in bickering with him.
So Lin Youyou asked again, "Have you practiced these days? How is Xinghai doing?"
While asking, Lin Youyou quickly tried to recall the images related to Kuangyin in his mind.
However, Zhang Moxi, who whispered in her ear, verified her conjecture, "Except for the first day, when he entered the courtyard with us and lived there, he never showed up when we went out every day."
Didn't go out at all, never went out?
more suspicious...
However, just when Lin Youyou thought that Kuang Yin would be like those other people, talking about him from left to right, or simply ignoring the issue, Kuang Yin showed a slightly sad smile.
"I've practiced... so now I'm about to die."
Lin Youyou was startled, "Then you still?!"
Kuang Yin pointed to where Lin Youyou and the others were standing, "You guys just happened to be on the balcony opposite to my room balcony. Anyway...can you call Song Ao for me? Also, I need something to eat..."
Even though it was late at night, and everything about Kuangyin seemed very suspicious, Lin Youyou and Zhang Moxi split up and acted separately. Zhang Moxi went to call Song Ao and Jiang Heng, and Lin Youyou went to the kitchen to see what else was there. It can be given to Kuangyin to cushion his stomach for the time being.
For their practitioners, if they don't eat for three to five days, in fact, there will be no problem on weekdays.Because the movement of the power of the star sea has its own energy, which can nourish the meridians and internal organs.
However, in the current environment like Tiancheng, if one does not eat for five days... I am afraid that the time limit for human beings is really approaching.
So after a long period of chaos, Kuang Yin finally had a mouthful of something warm.
And Song Ao and Jiang Heng also sat in Kuang Yin's room, watching him eat a bowl of noodles whole.
It wasn't until Kuang Yin finished the last sip of noodle soup that he regained some energy.He hiccupped, rubbed his stomach with one hand and said, "Although I'm full...how come I feel weaker..."
"You feel right." Song Ao crossed his arms and looked at Kuang Yin with some amusement, "Eating, drinking, or contacting people in this world are the medium through which this city absorbs the power of our star sea."
After saying this, Kuang Yin was so frightened that he almost spit out all the noodles he just ate.
Seeming to see through his thoughts, Song Ao waved his hand in advance, "Don't throw up, it will take effect after eating, don't waste food and starve again. Okay, let's say it now, you have practiced in the past five days What?"
Song Ao's attitude was indifferent on the face, but he couldn't help feeling very sad in his heart.
It seems that Tiancheng has indeed influenced too much in a subtle way, because Kuang Yin did not appear, he almost forgot that there is such a person as Kuang Yin.
And among all the people who entered here together, none of them even mentioned this matter, this person who had never appeared since the first day.
At the same time, cultivation is very, very dangerous without the power of the star sea being replenished. Once something goes wrong and the power of the star sea is exhausted, one will face eternal doom, ranging from damage to the star sea to death.
However, there was one thing that surprised Song Ao even more - Kuang Yin actually said that he had cultivated.In a situation where everyone is vague and forgetful about this, he still practiced?
Facing Song Ao's questioning eyes, Kuang Yin coughed lightly, and cast his eyes away from Lin Youyou and Zhang Moxi.
"It's okay, you can tell." Song Ao said, "These two are my own, but I'm afraid I have to tell you about the current situation first."
After Song Ao finished summarizing the current situation in a few words, Kuang Yin touched his chin thoughtfully, "I suspect that there is another huge formation in this city that can induce and influence people's thinking. And the reason why I didn't Being affected, I am afraid it has something to do with the family secret law..."
In view of the presence of Lin Youyou and Zhang Moxi, Kuang Yin's words were rather vague. Song Ao also understood that he didn't point it out. He just said in his heart that the Kuang family can transmit voices among family members, so as to prevent these mental and spiritual disturbances from the outside world. Naturally, we must find a way to block it, so Kuang Yin was not induced by Tiancheng, which is normal.
"However, I do have some news, which may be related to their request to choose a son-in-law in advance."
Hearing what Kuang Yin said, everyone's eyes lit up, "What?
