The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 397 Extremely Cold Ice Fruit

By the time Lu Qian and the others returned to Linglong Inn, it was already late at night.

In another hour, it will be dawn.

As soon as she returned to the inn, Linglong gathered all her people together and told them to pack their things immediately and prepare to move south.

The black cloud will come as soon as it comes, but it won't leave you any time to prepare.

Naturally, Jing Yanxiu and Du Guoguo didn't sleep either. They had been waiting for Lu Qian in the shop.

Seeing them coming back, the two of them immediately came to the door.

Jing Yanxiu came up to him with a face full of joy and said, "My husband, are you hungry? Why don't you eat first and then go to bed?"

Lu Qian asked: "Where is Wang Zirong?"

Jing Yanxiu said: "She waited for half a night without seeing you come back, so she went to sleep."

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Go back to your room to eat."

With that said, he strode towards his room.

Jing Yanxiu turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Ao Lanxi and Wang Yuanzhang followed Lu Qian.

Du Guoguo looked around and finally chased Jing Yanxiu.

Lu Qian returned to his room and stood in front of the door, but did not go in.

He paused for a moment, then took off a bag from his body and poured out all the Faceless Boys inside.

Nearly a thousand faceless children rose into the sky and formed a dense circle hand in hand, surrounding the room in front of them in the center.

After preparing the faceless boy, Lu Qian pushed the door open and entered.

The room was bright with lights on, and there was a green skirt on the hanger, which belonged to Wang Zirong.

On the kang, Wang Zirong was sleeping on her side, covered with a brocade quilt.

Under the light, her jade-white face had long eyelashes covering her eyes, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she looked tired even in her deep sleep.

It seemed like she hadn't slept at all in the past two days.

Looking at the sleeping Wang Zirong, Lu Qian felt as if the kang in front of him suddenly turned into a cold stone coffin, and the surrounding light dimmed, but her fair face was still eye-catching.

Lu Qian closed his eyes, composed himself, then opened his eyes again and walked forward slowly.

After returning home, Wang Zirong obviously felt at ease and was ready to have a good sleep. Even Lu Qian's approach did not wake her up.

Seeing this, Lu Qian crept up on his hands and feet, pinched a corner of the brocade quilt with two fingers, and gently pulled it up.

Apart from her coat, she only had a white middle coat on her body, with two green-white calves exposed.

Lu Qian held his breath, gently pulled the hem of her white clothes, and quietly lifted it up.

Although it could be seen at a glance that Wang Zirong, who was breathing evenly and having a warm body, was a living person, Lu Qian still couldn't help but wanted to lift up her clothes and take a look at her lower back.

At this moment, Lu Qian's heart suddenly beat violently, and he felt a little flustered inexplicably, as if he was afraid that when he lifted up his clothes, he would see her round, white body, as smooth as new, with nothing on it.

"Who?"

Wang Zirong suddenly woke up and hit Lu Qian's face with his backhand. When his fist was about to hit Lu Qian's face, he stopped abruptly.

Seeing that it was Lu Qian, Wang Zirong's tense face couldn't help but relax and said, "You're back."

Immediately, she felt Lu Qian's big hand being pressed under her buttocks, and she couldn't help frowning slightly. She looked at Lu Qian with both annoyance and amusement, and said angrily: "What are you doing? As soon as you come back..."

Halfway through her words, Wang Zirong glanced over and suddenly saw two strangers standing in the pawn room.

Although the two of them stood obediently with their hands tied, their four eyes were looking at her constantly.

Seeing Ao Lanxi and Wang Yuanzhang, Wang Zirong's face instantly turned red. She grabbed Lu Qian's arm and took his hand out from behind her back.

Lu Qian smiled awkwardly and said, "Now that you're awake, get up. We're moving. You can sleep on the boat."

Wang Zirong was stunned and said, "Why, are you moving again?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "The black cloud is coming."

Wang Zirong naturally understood what Heiyun meant and said "oh".

She wanted to get up, but when she saw Ao Lanxi and the two of them, she felt a little embarrassed, so she motioned to Lu Qian with her eyes and asked her to get her clothes while she got dressed under the quilt.

Lu Qian couldn't help but find it funny that Wang Zirong was still so reserved and shy in front of women, completely different from her charming appearance on the market street.

However, Wang Zirong had never met Ao Lanxi and Wang Yuanzhang, so it was normal to feel awkward when seeing two unfamiliar faces.

Lu Qian winked at Ao Lan Xi, who smiled and went to get Wang Zirong's clothes and bring them over.

"Thank you."

Wang Zirong thanked them, took a closer look at the two of them, understood, and asked Lu Qian, "These two are also...your new...wives?"

Lu Qian said: "We are all a family, there is no need to be formal."

Wang Zirong listened and glanced at her two black eyes, leaving him with two white eyes.

Ao Lan smiled sarcastically and said, "You are sister Zirong, right? No wonder, when my husband saw that you didn't come back, he was so anxious that he took us sisters everywhere to look for you."

When Wang Zirong heard this, her dark eyes turned back to Lu Qian and said, "Didn't I leave you a message? Where did you go to find me?"

Lu Qian said: "We just went to Daqiu Mountain and found a strange..."

"Ah—Ms., let's change sister Zirong's clothes."

Wang Yuanzhang suddenly rushed over and interrupted Lu Qian's words.

Lu Qian looked at Wang Yuanzhang with some suspicion. This daughter of an earth fairy couldn't even pour wine for others, so why did she suddenly want to be a maid?

This Wang Yuanzhang...why does it feel like something is wrong?

"No, thank you."

Wang Zirong stopped Wang Yuanzhang, got out of the bed and put on her clothes.

Lu Qian looked away from Wang Yuanzhang and asked Wang Zirong: "Where have you been? You left in such a hurry?"

Wang Zirong got dressed and sat on the kang. While putting on her shoes, she said, "That day, after you left, my...sister came to see me."

Lu Qian nodded and said, "What did she tell you?"

Wang Zirong put on her shoes, bowed her head and was silent for a moment, then said: "She said that she was going to the Divine Court to serve the Divine Lord, and said that this is the responsibility of our Zhang family."

Wang Zirong was born in Shenluo Village.

In Shinra Village, there is only one surname in the whole village.

Zhang.

Originally, of course Wang Zirong also had the surname Zhang, named Zhang Zirong.

Later, perhaps out of dissatisfaction with her father, she changed her mother's surname when she grew up.

Back then, when Shenluo Village was destroyed, Wang Xuan only went in to save Wang Zirong and his two sisters.

But the next day, my sister, who was still a child at the time, disappeared.

Now it seems that the missing Wang Ziyi was most likely killed by Wang Xuan.

After Wang Xuan killed Wang Ziyi, he kept raising her ghost.

Therefore, even after so many years, Wang Ziyi, as the elder sister, has never "grown up" and has always looked like a child.

Hearing Wang Zirong's words, Lu Qian thought to himself: "Wang Xuan killed Wang Ziyi and raised her ghost just to send her to the divine court to serve his divine master?"

In this case, why did he kill Wang Ziyi first?

Could it be said that only ghosts can serve the Lord of God?

Lu Qian thought quickly in his mind and asked, "So, Wang Xuan has the ability to return to the divine court?"

Wang Zirong shook her head and said, "I don't know. I asked, but my sister didn't tell. She only said..."

"what did she say?"

Wang Zirong turned to look at Lu Qian and said, "She only said that she wants me to follow you well. In the future...if you ascend to the Divine Court in the future, tell me not to go to the Divine Court with you."

Lu Qian asked curiously: "Why?"

Wang Zirong was silent for a moment, then looked up at Ao Lanxi and the others.

When Ao Lanxi and Wang Yuanzhang saw this, they said to Lu Qian, "Ms. sir, let's talk. We'll go out and wait for you." Lu Qian waved his hand and told them to go out.

After the two left, Wang Zirong raised his head and looked at Lu Qian.

She said solemnly: "My sister obviously can't say anything about Shenting. But I can see that she is very afraid of Shenting. I'm afraid this is the reason why she doesn't want me to go to Shenting."

"fear?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "There is one more thing I don't understand. Your sister, why do you want you to follow me? Does she know me?"

Wang Zirong shook her head and said, "She must know a lot of things that we don't know, but she can't tell."

Lu Qian said: "Because of Wang Xuan?"

Wang Zirong said: "Maybe...after all, my sister is in His hands."

Having said this, a look of sullenness appeared on Wang Zirong's face.

It seems that she also guessed the cause of Wang Ziyi's death.

Lu Qian patted Wang Zirong's shoulder lightly and said, "Sooner or later, we will figure it out. What next?"

Wang Zirong said: "Then, my sister gave me a set of exercises and asked me to go immediately and practice in seclusion for two days."

Lu Qian asked curiously: "What technique must be practiced immediately?"

Wang Zirong said: "It has nothing to do with the exercises. She gave me a fruit. This fruit can only be taken when the Five Color Mountain is opened. It will be invalid after it expires. After taking it, I must immediately practice the exercises she taught me. Able to absorb this fruit.”

Lu Qian asked: "What fruit?"

Wang Zirong said: "The extremely cold ice fruit. Don't ask me, I don't know what it is. She just told me to eat it quickly, otherwise once the Five Color Mountain is closed, it will take a hundred years to open."

Having said this, Wang Zirong smiled bitterly and said, "I can't live to be more than a hundred years old."

Lu Qian nodded. Seeing how solemn Wang Ziyi was, this "extremely cold ice fruit" must be something extraordinary.

Lu Qian asked: "Does it have any effect after taking it?"

Wang Zirong blinked at Lu Qian and said, "Didn't you realize that I'm already at the fifth-grade Guiyuan realm?"

Lu Qian was shocked and said, "In two days, you have reached the fifth-grade Guiyuan realm?"

You know, Wang Zirong, like him, had just broken through to the sixth level true spirit realm.

Breaking through a big realm in two days is too unbelievable.

Wang Zirong saw Lu Qian's surprised look and said, "Why, are you greedy? Unfortunately, this 'Extreme Yin Cold Ice Fruit' is an extremely yin thing, and it needs to be taken in conjunction with the extremely yin energy leaked out when the Five Color Mountain is opened. Only a woman's body can bear it. You are a man, you can't eat it."

Lu Qian said: "What do I covet when your sister gives you something?"

After saying that, Lu Qian asked again: "So, have you been to the Five Color Mountains in the past two days?"

Wang Zirong said: "It's not close. It's within a hundred miles."

Having said this, Wang Zirong said to Lu Qian: "Thanks to your door god, I have not been disturbed by ghosts in my retreat for the past two days."

When Lu Qian heard this, he looked at Wang Zirong blankly.

She didn't know that Lu Qian's god Tu Yulei was useless to her.

"Ms. sir, can we go in?"

At this time, Jing Yanxiu's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Lu Qian said in his heart: "Forget it, don't scare her now, tell her about Shen Tu Yu Lei later."

……

……

Half an hour later.

The darkest hour of the day.

Outside the door of Linglong Inn, a giant sailboat was moored there.

Some imps are carrying things to the boat.

Now that she knows that Lu Qian has a ghost sail that can fly, Linglong will naturally not use her carriage to transport her things.

Lu Qian, Wang Zirong, Ao Lanxi, Wang Yuanzhang, Du Guoguo, Jing Yanxiu and Linglong.

A group of people stood under the ghost sail.

Lu Qian felt a headache when he saw the large number of exquisite things in large and small bags.

Seemingly sensing that Lu Qian was a little impatient, Linglong smiled softly and said, "Your boat is so big, of course I moved everything I could. Don't be so stingy."

Lu Qian said: "I'm worried about whether your exquisite residence can hold so many things."

Linglong said: "You don't need to worry about it."

While he was talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the north.

Bitingly cold.

Jing Yanxiu immediately shuddered and trembled all over.

Even she, a ghost, couldn't bear this biting cold air!

After a gust of wind, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

Even a little frost formed on the eyebrows of Lu Qian and Wang Zirong in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Sir, it's so... so cold..."

Jing Yanxiu seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and was trembling all over.

Lu Qian reached out and took her into his arms, hugging her tightly, and she felt better.

"Look, the black cloud is coming!"

Lu Qian looked up and saw an almost endless black line suddenly appearing on the horizon in the far north.

The sky is dark enough today, but this black line is actually darker than the night!

This sudden black line seemed to split the entire sky in half.

Half of it is night.

The other half is also dark.

The dark clouds have not yet arrived, but the cold wind has arrived.

No wonder humans cannot survive in winter on the grasslands.

Not to mention humans, even ghosts like Jing Yanxiu would not be able to survive on the ground unless they went deep underground to hide.

"Let's go?"

"Walk."

Everyone jumped up and jumped onto the deck of Guifan.

Then the ghost sail began to rise and raise its sail.

Lu Qian stood on the side of the ship and looked north, only to see the black line in the sky advancing southward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A huge curtain seemed to suddenly appear on the endless sky, trying to cover the vast grassland below.

Ao Lanxi and Wang Yuanzhang looked at the black grassland between heaven and earth, in a daze.

It was the first time in a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, that they had left this grassland.

The ghost sail filled its sails and began to accelerate, hurtling south through the night sky.

The black line in the sky follows closely behind.

Finally, this black line pulled up a huge black curtain and pushed southward to the foot of Lone Wolf Mountain.

Strangely enough, as soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, the black line suddenly stopped moving.

But the entire grassland has been completely shrouded by this nearly infinite black cloud.

The curtain call ends on Wuqin Grassland.
