Chapter 84: A sudden enlightenment [asking for a monthly ticket! ]

Langyun Mountain, Kendo Academy.

Students in the academy are divided into four categories: plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. The first-year students of the chrysanthemum category sleep in a dormitory with four people in a large courtyard with four rooms, for a total of 16 people. It is not until the second and third years that students with excellent grades gradually move out to live in single rooms, and when they are promoted to the plum category in the fourth year, all students can live in single rooms.

When Liang Peng returned to the academy, several of his roommates had not returned yet. He wanted to save some money on transportation, so he walked back.

Because I was afraid of wasting time, I set out very early.

Now that he had cultivated himself and his feet were as fast as the wind, not only was he not too tired, his speed was also much faster than he had imagined. He returned much earlier than the others.

It was dusk and he was in no hurry to light a lamp. Instead, he bent down to put away the luggage he brought from home, then picked up a book and prepared to read.

But as soon as his hand touched the page of the book, it paused slightly.

Because when he bent down just now, he caught a glimpse of his own shadow and felt a little strange.

It seems to be different from my own movements.

He remained calm, lowered his head and took another peek. His own shadow was under his feet and the shape seemed to be no different.

Was it just a momentary blur?
wrong.

After he pulled out the knife yesterday, he felt something was wrong. One thing was that he was dizzy, and when the two things came together, he felt that something might be wrong with him. He didn't know if there was something wrong with his cultivation, or if he had collided with something.

Fortunately, this is a kendo academy, and what it has the most is strong practitioners.

He was about to go out to look for his teachers in the academy.

Suddenly, his shadow extended on its own and turned into a flat human figure!

The black shadow split into eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and turned into a pure black human figure. It said, "Don't leave. I know you have noticed my presence. Are you going to tell someone?"

Liang Peng looked at the other party calmly, "This is the Kendo Academy. If you are an evil spirit, I advise you not to act rashly."

"I know, hahahaha, I am definitely more familiar with this place than you." The black shadow laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"If you leave now, I will pretend nothing happened." Liang Peng said cautiously.

“No hurry, listen to me first.” The shadow’s voice was muffled, “I was once betrayed by someone I trusted, and my soul was sealed in that knife.”

"Although I managed to escape from her control, I had already exhausted all my strength and could not escape from the knife. I was sealed inside for nearly fifty years, and the only warriors I met were crude warriors. Finally, a Qi Refiner tried to pull out the knife."

"I am very grateful to you." The black shadow laughed muffledly: "In order to repay you, I can fulfill a wish for you."

"My wish?" Liang Peng said calmly, "My wish is that you can find your own body and regain your strength."

"Huh?" The black shadow asked doubtfully, "You're a very nice person, but... I can't do it yet."

Liang Peng said indifferently: "Yeah, you can't even realize your own wish, how can you realize mine?"

Shadow: "..."

After a long silence, the black shadow said, "Your words are quite irritating."

"Sorry." Liang Peng said, "I still suggest you find someone else. I don't have any wishes that need you to fulfill."

“No, you do.” The shadow laughed again. “Although I have lost my power, I still have some magical abilities. For example… I can see your desires.”

It said faintly: "I can see that you want to pass the imperial examination and gain power over the world."

"You're right, but I can do it myself and don't need anyone's help." Liang Peng said.

“No, no, no.” The black shadow said anxiously, “Then let’s not talk about things that are far away. Let’s talk about things that are near first. I have a way to make your cultivation level advance by leaps and bounds, so that you will have enough strength to protect your family.”

Liang Peng saw that he seemed to have no way to restrain himself, so he stood up and was about to open the door to go out.

"Okay, okay!" The black shadow finally said anxiously, "Actually, I need your help too. Let's make a deal."

……

“Is this power?”

When Liang Yue woke up in the cauldron, he did not move at all, but he could hear the sound of blood and energy flowing in his body, like a mighty river flowing eastward.

When his five fingers moved slightly, there was a crackling sound. It was the thousand-year-old turtle skin powder applied on his body that had dried up into a layer of blue-black scales, but the spirituality in it had been absorbed, and it would shatter and fall off at the slightest touch.

The surrounding Earth Soul Spirit Liquid also disappeared, leaving only patches of it vaguely remaining on the wall of the cauldron. I don't know how much time has passed but the residual heat is still there.

"Senior Brother, are you awake?" Bai Yuan heard the noise and came out.

Liang Yue rubbed his head and asked, "Did I succeed?"

"That's right!" Bai Yuan nodded with a smile, "The armor casting was successful. I'll go call the master."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Yue came out and put on his clothes again.

He found that after he took off the turtle skin, his skin turned into an even bronze color, and his muscles looked more solid and powerful, with knots and knots like dragon tendons, revealing a sense of solid strength.

It seems that he has even grown a little taller.

He clenched his fists, his energy and blood gathered, and instantly his strength surged. He felt that he could kill his previous self with just one punch!

It is said that the Armor Forging Stage is only strong in strengthening the physique, but is it also so terrifying in improving one's cultivation?

At this time, Wang Rulin followed Bai Yuan out and was overjoyed when he saw Liang Yue: "Disciple, you are still alive!"

"..." Liang Yue was speechless for a moment, "Master, you are not confident either?" "Hehe." Wang Rulin flicked his sleeves and regained his immortal demeanor, "I knew you would succeed, but I didn't even have the chance to collect the top-level Kuilong medicine back then. This is the first time I give it to you, so I can't judge the effect."

Liang Yue glanced outside and saw that it was already morning, so he asked, "I was unconscious all night?"

"Brother, you have been immersed in the precious medicine for two days and two nights." Bai Yuanyuan knew.

"Ah?" Liang Yue was surprised, "It took so long."

"The first day was quite thrilling. Your body cracked several times while you were in the Earth Spirit Essence. I wanted to get you out many times, but you didn't want to." Wang Rulin said, "Later, you slowly absorbed the spiritual energy in the precious medicine and merged it with your body. This was faster than I expected."

Liang Yue recalled it carefully and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a dangerous moment.

However, he was so obsessed that he refused to leave the precious medicine. At one point, he could even smell the aroma of meat while it was being cooked.

Wen Yifan left after his condition stabilized. He then stayed in the cauldron for another two days, sucking up all the spiritual fluid before waking up.

Liang Yue felt his current strong body and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master, and thank you, Junior Brother Bai Yuan. It is all thanks to you that I was able to successfully forge the armor."

"After all, it is your own talent and will that deserve such cultivation. You don't need to thank us too much. It's all your fate." Wang Rulin said in a flat tone, but the smug smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

He was in a very good mood because he had created the best medicine in the world.

After a brief conversation, Liang Yue suddenly remembered, "Ah, since I have slept for two days, isn't today the day for the foundation laying ceremony of the Tower of Babel?"

Before this, Lao Hu had told himself not to be absent.

He looked at the time. The people stationed at the station should have already set out, and the people in charge of outer security must have arrived early to check. If he rushed directly to Qingfoyuan at this time, he should still be in time.

So he bid farewell to Wang Rulin and Bai Yuan, left Yunzhiguan, and hurried to Qingfoyuan.

Xinghua Mountain where Yunzhiguan is located and Qingfoyuan are both in the south of Longyuan City. The distance between them is not too far, but if you walk in a straight line, you have to climb over two low mountains, which takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, now that he has been promoted to the Armor Forging Realm, his physique and lightness have reached a higher level. He runs with his legs swung out, passing through the mountains and forests, as if he is flying on flat ground.

It didn't take long before he stood on a round hill on the east side of Qingfoyuan.

……

After running all the way here, he took a short break and breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing here, you can overlook the fields in the distance. At this moment, a huge 33-story wooden frame has been erected on the plain. That is the prototype of the future Tower of Babel, with layers of extremely complex wooden and stone structures.

It was easy for the Ministry of Works to build this layer of the tower. A group of skilled craftsmen could complete it in a short time. The most difficult part was forging the formation on the tower. With the current number of formation masters in the Ministry of Works, it might take 20 years to complete. Whenever there was such a project, a large number of formation masters had to be recruited from outside. How fast the construction would be completed depended on how much money the court was willing to spend.

You can also see huge beasts carrying huge logs, feldspar and other building materials. There are also several catapults, which directly throw boxes of materials for the formation to the top of the thirty-third floor tower. Every time a box is thrown out, it is like a dark cloud rising into the sky, which is terrifying to see.

However, there were already practitioners on the top of the tower activating the formation to receive each box of materials steadily.

At this time, several black teams came from a distance, surrounded the entire Qingfoyuan, stopped the formation masters and craftsmen on the high tower, and then drove the giant beasts and catapults to the edge one by one.

It seems that they are the people from the Imperial Capital Guard.

They are responsible for the outer perimeter security to prevent anyone from approaching, while the royal guards are responsible for the inner circle. The innermost circle will also have the entourage of the crown prince and the imperial teacher, and they will arrive later.

Liang Yue should have hurried down to join them.

But when he looked at Qingfoyuan below, he suddenly stopped and remembered something.

When I was casting the armor, I heard my master say that the earth's energy is yin, and the energy of the earth veins can also be considered a kind of yin energy.

When he heard these words, his heart was moved.

But the situation was urgent at the time, and he couldn't help but think about it too much. He had no time to pay attention to that inexplicable intuition, and a doubt remained in his mind.

Now standing on a high place and looking far away, he finally understood what he was thinking.

That's a blurry line.

Everything that happened to me these days was vaguely related to this tower.

In the initial arson case, the Dragon Tooth Gang caused trouble in Fukangfang because they learned that the Tower of Babel was about to be completed and the land prices of shops in South City were going to skyrocket.

In the case of Zhen Chang, it was finally discovered that the battle formation diagram provided by the Ministry of Works was different from the previous one, and it was also discovered that he had sold something to Yueyang Trading Company.

The Swallowtail Case unearthed Yu Wenlong's treasure, and also made him know that there was a treasure hidden underground in the southern part of Longyuan City that was about to be unearthed, moving with the earth's veins.

In the case of Zhang Xingkai, he was the person responsible for managing the South City real estate for the Sixth Prince. The whereabouts of Zhengyang Lei who disappeared in Yueyang Trading Company is still unknown.

In the case of Wu Mozi, it was learned that he had deceived his superiors and subordinates and designed a large formation to gather the earth's energy under the Tower of Babel. It was very likely that it was arranged by the national teacher Li Longchan in order to gather the earth's veins and seize the mysterious treasure.

Among these chaotic events, there is a vague thread that connects them all and ultimately leads in one direction.

When this line gradually became clear in his mind, all the things were connected together. If one of them was picked out separately, it would be impossible to see the whole picture behind it. Only when Liang Yue experienced all these things and understood everyone's thoughts could he string them together.

It was as if a flash of lightning passed by, and Liang Yue felt a chill rising all over his body involuntarily.

So that’s it!
I see!

I see!

This is absolutely the truth of the matter!

He couldn't help but want to shout loudly in his heart. Now he must quickly notify everyone, otherwise a huge conspiracy will succeed!
But just when he was about to rush down the mountain, a waterfall of knife light suddenly stabbed at him from behind!
"die--"
