Chapter 73: Prison for a Day
Whether it is Ma Xiang in the Dan stage or Chief Huo in the Distracted Stage, they are released from themselves when the spiritual energy is bursting out. Even the sword-dao Yanhui is the last move of the sword-dao bird flying, and the sword-dao Qi must go out first and then turn back.
But now Ma Rui felt the spiritual energy surge from all directions behind him, that is, Li Qingzhao's position, and the fluctuations were so great that he could see the spiritual energy surging like a body of water.
Turning his head, Ma Rui was even more shocked by the miraculous scene in front of him.
At this time, Li Qingzhao was like a faded old photo, with only black, white and gray tones left on her body. The five elements aura exuding a colorful halo was like dye, and quickly flew into the picture from all directions, adding bright colors, making the almost motionless portrait gradually moisturized and agile, and finally re-outlined a woman with a beautiful temperament.
In just a short while, Li Qingzhao returned to her previous appearance, expression, appearance, clothing, and movements, but in Ma Rui's eyes, it always felt something was wrong, and it was difficult to express something.
Before Ma Rui could ask, Li Qingzhao suddenly turned her head and looked at Ma Rui. Her eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, and even a trace of fierce murderous aura appeared. Fortunately, she did not rush to take action. She glanced at the stone slab in her hand and frowned in thought, as if the words she had written by herself had to be read again half a moment ago.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Ma Rui finally realized that Li Qingzhao had indeed not changed. What changed was the relationship between the two. The process of talking for a long time and entrusting the important tasks seemed to have been cut off, and he returned to the strange feeling of the first meeting between the two.
"Do you understand?" After reading the logs written for himself, Li Qingzhao restrained his hostility and smiled when he looked at Ma Rui again.
"Time travels through?" Ma Ruimu was shocked. The connection between the strangeness just now and the name of the martial arts Huanghua yesterday shows that the other party can not only pull himself into this closed cave, but also go back to the past!
"I can't do it yet. I just went back to the beacon I set." Li Qingzhao said lightly: "And it should be the last time just now."
Ma Rui still didn't understand, his eyes were full of doubts.
"Every day I will go back to the noon of the day before, or the noon of a certain day a thousand years ago." Speaking of this, Li Qingzhao looked a little haggard: "Cultivation, body, and memory."
"Isn't that immortality?" Ma Rui's eyes widened and almost lost his voice. He actually could be so powerful!
"Eternal Life?" Li Qingzhao laughed silently and shook her head sadly: "If eternal life is to repeat the same days infinitely, will anyone still pursue it?"
It seems like asking Ma Rui, or asking himself. Human beings have been seeking the way to immortality from ancient times to the present. Perhaps it can be achieved by cultivating truth and seeking immortality, but if this is the fate that is almost a cage day after day, what is the meaning of eternal life?
Ma Rui also realized that repeating the same life may be acceptable after a year, but ten years will cause a collapse. If it were a thousand years, I would have been crazy long ago.
Li Qingzhao looked back at these simple houses in the empty cave, as if comforting herself, and murmured: "Because you will forget everything, it is not difficult."
It seemed very free and easy, but Ma Rui noticed that the stone benches, stone chairs, and stone beds were carved with dense regular characters. He thought it was some kind of pattern decoration, but now it seems that it actually represents all the expectations of a lonely person.
Ma Rui's eyes swept through these countless words. Even if it was not clearly pointed out, Li Qingzhao looked a little embarrassed, as if the secret had been exposed, and she couldn't keep her usual indifference. She gently slid her hair and tried to think that nothing had happened. She continued to sigh: "Fate still made a choice, and it was finally over."
"You can continue to go back to yesterday!" Ma Rui was a little anxious. The other party's tone seemed to give up treatment and accept his fate and die.
Li Qingzhao shook her head, pointed to the formation underground, and explained: "Every day, I supply it with spiritual energy and absorb vitality from it. I have maintained an equal balance for so many years. I can go back to yesterday and it will not collapse."
Speaking of this, Li Qingzhao smiled and looked at Ma Rui and said softly: "But now that the balance has been broken, I don't have enough spiritual energy to last until noon tomorrow."
"Then go ahead!" Ma Rui vaguely guessed that this matter was caused by himself. The other party rescued and consumed his spiritual energy. Now he was facing a situation of destroying the enemy! He felt very sorry and encouraged and suggested: "At least you can survive only by having hope!"
"If half an hour is short every day, there will be only twenty-four days left. At that time, all spiritual energy and vitality will be exhausted. The formation will be destroyed or the formation will be destroyed." It seems that Li Qingzhao had already had enlightenment and plans, shook her head and sighed: "I have been waiting for the Nansong Sect for a thousand years. Will they come to save each other within twenty-four days?"
"Wait for me! I'll find someone to save you!" Ma Rui couldn't bear to kill this strange woman who kindly saved her. Although she was completely unsure, she still made a bold promise: "I'll go to the three major sects to ask for help!"
Ma Rui of Nansong Sect had never heard of it. Maybe he was huddled in a corner of Qiyuan Continent, but according to the standards of the present world, it would not exceed the strength of the three major sects.
"Don't do these meaningless things anymore. If you can do what I said and seek a glimmer of hope for the Qiyuan Continent, it will be worthy of my persistence for thousands of years." Li Qingzhao shook his head and said lightly: "Our era is over, and I have survived to this day. I can also give you an explanation."
When a person holds the belief that he will die, there will be no way back.
"I'm sorry." Although Ma Rui is not noble, he killed someone else's life because of saving himself, which made Ma Rui feel guilty.
"You don't have to have any burden, I want to thank you." Li Qingzhao brushed his hand across the back of the stone chair, touched the deep and shallow marks on it, and chuckled calmly: "If it weren't for you, I would still hide in this dark cage, hoping for someone to support me, maybe like a fool, I will continue to wait for a thousand years."
For those who have lived for thousands of years, dignity may be much more important than life span.
"I..." Ma Rui wanted to persuade him again, but Li Qingzhao's next sentence made Ma Rui unable to speak at all.
"I'm tired." The woman who supported the cloud formation alone for thousands of years exhaled and slowly closed her eyes.
What else can I say? I can protect the Yunchui Formation with my own strength and protect the safety of the entire Qiyuan Continent. Now, choosing to die with the formation may be the best destination.
"The official affairs are completed." After a long time, Li Qingzhao seemed to have put down the huge rock in her heart, deliberately raised her tone, and smiled, "Now, it's time to talk about private matters."
Ma Rui was stunned. Before he could recover from the sadness, the person involved seemed heartless!
"Do you want to pass all the spiritual energy of cultivation to me?" Ma Rui was shocked. Although it was cliché, the transmission of skills between men and women on TV often requires a complete loss. He might be able to see the world's number one talented woman...
"Do you want to explode and die?" Li Qingzhao didn't understand Ma Rui's eyes and shrugged: "With your current situation, you may be able to continue practicing for more than a hundred years."
Since he came to Qiyuan Continent, he has been hit by various people in his physical training, so that Ma Rui has become accustomed to it, and is not surprised when things change and does not say a word.
"But there is good news." Li Qingzhao said a happy news that made Ma Rui laugh and cry: "After the four formations of the wind and clouds in the world are broken, the vitality of Qiyuan Continent will no longer be extracted, and the more rich and mellow five elements spiritual energy will be produced, which is of great benefit to practitioners."
In other words, the reason why there has been no cultivator who can match the ancient power over the past thousand years is entirely because of the changes in the cultivation environment of the entire Qiyuan Continent. It also answered Ma Rui's doubts indirectly. It turns out that the records in history books do not exaggerate. King You of Zhou has indeed reached the Mahayana realm, and Bao Si may really be the queen of the demon!
"But you said Longzi..." Ma Rui reminded: "Do you still have time to practice?"
"Longzi will take time to recover. If there is no nourishment of the treasures of heaven and earth, at least ten or eight years will be required. He will never dare to show up before fully recovering his strength." Li Qingzhao and Longzi had an intersection, and they obviously knew it very well, but the next sentence is the point: "There are tall men who are holding on to the sky. With your cultivation level, Longzi may not be too lazy to pay attention to it."
"Yes, I'm a weak guy, please ask someone else to help you deliver the message!" Ma Rui was so angry that he was ridiculed with such a great mission.
"There are your benefits." Li Qingzhao smiled confidently, as if she was sure that Ma Rui would not give up, and pointed to his chest: "I know where the fragment in your arms is."
"Ancient evil thing?" Ma Rui was stunned.
"Yes, 日本." Li Qingzhao nodded, stretched out his hand, and a cylindrical metal flew out from the slit of the stone in the distance, about one foot long and one inch in diameter in the cross-section. Judging from the material, it looks the same as the superconductor of Ma Rui.
"Isn't it called rejecting things?" Ma Rui clearly remembered that Mr. Chen of the Blood Refining Sect called it rejecting things, rejecting everything in the world.
"The slaughter is the name, and rejection is the ability." Li Qingzhao threw the metal strip to Ma Rui and said lightly: "This is the handle, you can find all the fragments with it."
Ma Rui immediately understood that as soon as the metal strip appeared, the small piece in his arms was about to move. When Ma Rui caught the metal strip, the small piece immediately stuck on it, like a magnet.
"Where are the other fragments?" Ma Rui felt that this thing looked like a metal detector, but he couldn't take it all over the street to clear mines! And according to the leader Yang, the quick fragment was found in the butterfly clam at the bottom of the lake!
"I used it to knock Chiwen out of the lake near here." Li Qingzhao said that a battle involving myths was still very dull: "There is the foot of the Yuncheng Array."
"Canglan Lake?" Ma Rui could think that the largest lake nearby was Canglan Lake.
"It should be." Li Qingzhao was not sure about the change in the landform a thousand years later, and recalled with his head raised: "The clouds are unintentional to come out of the mountains."
