Battle for Rebirth

After successfully conquering the paper figurine's stomach again, Yuan Xingnian glanced at the paper figurine lying motionless on the bed after eating and drinking, and a question flashed through his mind.

"Speaking of it—" Yuan Xingnian said softly while removing the extra branches and leaves of the wildflowers, "You said you want to protect me, but I'm destined to die in the second life, won't this change the plot?"

The paper figurine was lying lazily, but when it heard this question, it coughed suddenly: "That's why I'm needed! After all, I was born to protect you, even if I resist the rules, I won't lose!"

"Are you sure you can..." Yuan Xingnian looked suspiciously at the short-armed and short-legged paper figurine.

The paper figurine pointed at its fingers pitifully, and said, "Anyway, I won't let you die... this is my fate."

"Fate, then why should my fate be planned by others." Yuan Xingnian was full of unwillingness, perhaps because of the influence of the previous test room, his emotions are prone to ups and downs now, and his whole person is dejected that does not match his appearance.

"...Ah Nian, don't worry, even if I die, I won't let you die." The paper figurine promised firmly.

Yuan Xingnian sneered, and said lightly, "Why did you accept the life you gave to protect me so easily? Have you ever thought about not accepting it?"

The paper figurine was at a loss for a moment, looking at Yuan Xingnian at a loss.

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic."

Yuan Xingnian stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window, suddenly feeling a little confused.Knowing that he is just a character created in the book, he even wonders if his feelings are really his intention?It was still the writer who arbitrarily added it to him.

"Xingnian, although you are just a character in the book," the paper man couldn't help saying, not looking at his dejected look, "but you have the same joys and sorrows as me. You have parents and friends, and everything you have experienced Be real, and no one can say you're just a fake."

In my heart, you will always be real and fresh.

Yuan Xingnian turned his face to the side, the paper figurine's swearing expression reminded him of the expression on the first meeting, and he couldn't help but smile.

"I know, it's useless to think about it. Besides, I'm hurt but it really hurts." Yuan Xingnian shrugged, although his eyes were still confused, but they became clearer, "So I definitely won't give up."

The paper figurine breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, don't worry, I won't let you die!"

"For your delicious food?"

"... Yuan Xingnian!"

The paper figurine's yelling made Yuan Xingnian laugh unscrupulously. Perhaps this was the first time he laughed so heartily after his rebirth. The golden light kissed his hair softly, making him look so gentle. My heart also softened.

The wind blew gently, and Yuan Xingnian plucked the hair from his ears, and an idea slowly came to his mind.

After that, Yuan Xingnian went to the Treasure Pavilion first. He urgently needed a calming technique.In front of the Treasure Pavilion sat an old man who seemed to be very old. He had gray hair, but his eyes were extremely sharp and clear.After Yuan Xingnian handed over the jade token to the old man, he walked into the Treasure Pavilion.The Treasure Pavilion is very large, and at a glance, it is full of bookshelves, and in front of the shelves are signs of various spiritual roots.Yuan Xingnian walked to the shelf marked [Water], looked up at the floor that was almost in contact with the roof, and an ellipsis floated in his heart.

"Basically there is nothing good here." The paper figurine crawled out, squinting its eyes, "The fluctuation of spiritual power is weak, no wonder there is no formation, most of them are common exercises in the cultivation world."

"Would you like to climb up to the top floor and have a look?"

"I told you there's nothing good!" The paper figurine looked hurt, but after two or three seconds of awkwardness, it jumped onto the bookshelf.

Yuan Xingnian was impressed by his athleticism.

"I just said there's nothing good about it." The paper figurine picks and chooses, looking impatiently at those [in his eyes] rubbish exercises, but soon its expression becomes weird, staring at a book that reads Thin and worn books for a long time.

Yuan Xingnian could only see that his expression was a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Okay."

The paper figurine pulled out the book with great effort, and threw it down towards Yuan Xingnian's outstretched hand.When the thin book fell down, a layer of dust was even sprinkled on it. Yuan Xingnian gently wiped off the dust on the book, only to see the beautiful words [How to be friends with water] written on it...

"What is this..." Yuan Xingnian couldn't react for a while, and stared at those words in a daze.

"What do you think of the water spirit root experience written by Mahayana monks?"

"..." Yuan Xingnian's hands that were casually flipping through the pages paused for a moment, and then carefully turned to the first page, "Is this considered a treasure?"

The paper figurine couldn't bear it any longer, showing a triumphant expression: "What do you think?"

Yuan Xingnian couldn't help laughing, touched the head of the paper man with the expression of "Praise me, praise me soon", and began to look seriously.Maybe it's because the monk who wrote this book focused on the study of water spirit roots, and didn't mention anything about other spirit roots.Yuan Xingnian was fascinated by it, so the paper figurine didn't bother him, and just wandered around the entire Zangbao Pavilion.Although it is difficult to find a second book like this, maybe there is a good magic weapon, but it is a pity that the magic weapon here cannot be taken out at all.The paper figurine also couldn't figure out what the Tianmen Sect meant by doing this. In fact, it misunderstood it. All the magic weapons here were rewarded to disciples in other ways, but these two half-assed guys didn't bother to inquire.

Two hours passed quickly, Yuan Xingnian rubbed his sore neck, his face was full of joy, the experience of a Mahayana monk is hard to find, and it is many times more expensive than the Resurrection Grass.Now that he found it here by coincidence, he couldn't help wondering whether his previous bad luck had been wiped away.It has benefited a lot, and Yuan Xingnian is eager to practice it. However, the senior has repeatedly emphasized that those who want to learn must build a solid foundation to learn his theory step by step. Hide back.

Yuan Xingnian stayed here for a while, but he didn't have any good exercises for calming down, but he was satisfied with most of the book in his mind.

"Speaking of which, why don't you put it in the bag?" Yuan Xingnian tried to put the paper figurine into his Qiankun bag before leaving. Anyway, he didn't have anything, only the exercises contained in the beads.

"No, I will suffocate to death if I'm so small." The paper figurine pouted and looked at the small bag with a look of disgust, "What about the agreed space! Why are we still so poor——"

"……To shut up."

Yuan Xingnian lowered his voice, because he sensed that someone had also entered the Treasure Pavilion, and quickly stuffed him into his arms regardless of the protest of the paper figurine.Speaking of being poor - he has been poor from his last life to this life, so he will still get used to it.

"Uncle Shi, I don't think you can use the exercises here, so why drag me in." Just as Yuan Xingnian was about to leave, a voice sounded, as deep and hoarse as drunk wine.

Yuan Xingnian saw a tall young man with his back facing him through the bookshelf. His broad shoulders and familiar voice made his heart beat violently, and he immediately knew that this person was the protagonist.When he lowered his head and thought about how to take the opportunity to get to know the protagonist, the voice of another person suddenly made him want to leave here quickly.

That voice was really Lu Fuling.

"I can't help it. I don't know why the master is so concerned about the new disciple." Lu Fuling said helplessly, her eyes looked over the pile of exercises, "I told him that this exercise cannot be given now. He, besides, even if he is very talented, he can't compare to you, Ah Zheng."

Lu Fuling flipped through a volume of exercises, couldn't bear the anger in her tone, and before Junzheng could speak, she said, "I thought it would be your master or Shang Lu who took him in, but now it's all right, the uncle has become Sister, it's really disgusting."

Jun Zheng laughed sullenly, and after sweeping through the rack of exercises, he replied lightly: "You usually neglect your master, and she accepts another disciple to pass on her mantle. This way you will be free, right?"

Lu Fuling thought it made sense when he heard it, and showed a slight smile in Yuan Xingnian's incomparably horrified eyes. He suddenly felt that his whole body was awake, which was more useful than splashing it with ice water.

I really couldn't stay any longer, Yuan Xingnian raised his foot slightly and planned to run away, but he heard Lu Fuling's voice turned cold for a moment: "Come out, don't think I can't see you."

... You're not talking about me, are you?Yuan Xingnian was at a loss for a moment, and stood there stiffly.

"Not coming out yet? Want me to invite you?"

Just as Yuan Xingnian was planning to go out and say "Master, what a coincidence, who is this?", a chuckle came from another corner not far from them, and someone slowly walked towards Lu Fuling and Junzheng. walk over.

"Junior Brother Jun, it's been a long time."

Yuan Xingnian happened to be able to see that person's face, his face was gloomy, and there was an unconcealable mischief in his brows and eyes.

However, now is just the time to sneak out by yourself.The bookshelf he was on was already very close to the door, and the two of them were focusing on the person who appeared suddenly, so they didn't pay attention to the fast figure at all.In fact, Lu Fuling actually discovered Yuan Xingnian, and ended up leading another person out by mistake.As for Yuan Xingnian, he walked slowly to the trial ground while lamenting that he saved his life.

He had promised Zhou Tong to go, and besides, he was quite curious, and after asking all the way, he finally found a trial field far away from the lobby.Speaking of it, it is an open-air venue, symbolically with a few flags, and there is not even a sign.

Shaking his head secretly, Yuan Xingnian saw Zhou Tong surrounded by a group of people from a distance, and shook his hand at him.

Zhou Tong trotted over a few steps: "Why did you come? I thought you weren't coming."

"Unfamiliar with the road."

Zhou Tong also knew that their trial ground was too remote, so he touched Yuan Xingnian's shoulder and led him in: "I'm about to start talking about new gossip, let's go together."

Yuan Xingnian looked at those people who were full of curiosity towards him one by one, nodded to them all and sat next to Zhou Tong.

"Are you really here?" Zhou Tong pressed Yuan Xingnian's arm and asked in a low voice.

Yuan Xingnian just smiled and nodded.
