Origin

There were a lot of things piled outside the room door. It was impossible for the young woman to move so many things at once. They must have been delivered to the door in multiple batches. She must have been busy for a long time before, but because the stone door was very thick, he was inside. Can't hear anything outside.

The young woman knew that Wu Zhongyuan was looking at her, but she never spoke to him or even looked at him. She was just moving things.

After moving the things outside the stone door in, we started to organize them. The floor was laid near the stone door, and the cooking utensils were placed on the other side of the stone door.

Wu Zhongyuan soon discovered that this person was not not looking at him, but he was not looking directly at him openly. When he was packing things, he would peek out of the corner of his eyes from time to time. There was a bit of fear and jealousy in his eyes, and maybe there was shame, but The expressions of shame and fear are very similar, and it is difficult to distinguish them accurately.

After tidying up his bed, the young woman came over with her head bowed, holding the quilt, and tidied the bed from his right side.

After making an optimistic judgment about his current situation, Wu Zhongyuan was in a good mood. It was wrong to say that it was good. At least he would no longer be anxious and pessimistic because of wasting time. When he saw that the young woman kept her head down and busy and did not talk to him, he took the initiative to talk to her. Say, "Hey, what's your name?"

Perhaps because of being too nervous, the young woman was frightened when Wu Zhongyuan opened his mouth, but she did not answer, just lowered her head and was busy.

Seeing that the young woman looked nervous, Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and asked with a smile, "You seem to be afraid of me?"

The young woman still didn't answer. After spreading his bedding, she turned and walked towards the door.

"Hey, I need to pee." Wu Zhongyuan shouted.

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's call, the young woman stopped, but after standing for a few seconds, she walked towards the door again.

Wu Zhongyuan thought she had gone to get the urine jar, but he never thought that she walked to the door and sat down, meditating cross-legged and closing her eyes.

"Did you hear me? I need to pee." Wu Zhongyuan shouted again.

The young woman didn't look at him or answer. She just tilted her head and glanced at a small copper pot placed on the side of her bed. The shape of this thing was a bit like a hookah without a cigarette holder. It was divided into upper and lower parts. It is supported by copper bars and is hollow in the middle. Water drops slowly drip from the top. This object is called a clepsydra. It has the same properties as an hourglass. They are both timing devices. However, the clepsydra appeared earlier than the hourglass. Also older.

"Why do I have to have a set time for peeing?" Wu Zhongyuan couldn't laugh or cry.

The young woman closed her eyes and ignored him.

It was so hot here that most of the moisture on his body turned into sweat. In fact, Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to relieve himself. Seeing that the young woman did not answer, he stopped urging her. He had previously suspected that this person was sent by Li Tai to perform a beauty trap. Yes, now it seems that I have overthought it. How could I have such an expression when I cast a beauty trap?

At first Wu Zhongyuan thought that this person was not really meditating with his eyes closed, but he just closed his eyes and refused to pay attention to him. However, he soon discovered that this person was really meditating and practicing Qi. This discovery made him very confused. This place His aura is extremely poor. Practicing his aura from here is like trying to catch a fish by chance. There is no way this person doesn't know this, so why is he still doing it so seriously and hard?

After observing for about ten minutes, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Hey, what is your name?"

The young woman paid no attention.

The more silent this person was, the more Wu Zhongyuan wanted her to speak. After waiting for a moment, he shouted, "Hey, I really need to pee."

The young woman sat with her eyes closed and turned a deaf ear.

"Are you deaf?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted.

The young woman still paid no attention.

After waiting for a while, Wu Zhongyuan really wanted to relieve himself, but after repeated urging, the young woman just tilted her head to look at the clepsydra and ignored him.

Wu Zhongyuan was a little annoyed, "Are you stupid? Why do you always look at that broken pot?"

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the young woman suddenly turned her head,

He raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you say?"

Before Wu Zhongyuan could react, the young woman had already turned her head back. In addition to being angry, her face also showed tension and fear similar to that after making a mistake.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan was greatly confused and a little curious. This person had been silent before. Why did she speak when he called her stupid, and her expression and tone looked very angry.

Combined with the fact that everyone in the Bird Tribe went out to round him up, but Li Tai only kept her in the city and did not let her participate in the war, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly thought of another possibility. Is there really something wrong with this person's mind?

With this suspicion, he looked at her again with "colored glasses". On the surface, she seemed to be no different from a normal person, but upon closer inspection, he seemed to be a bit stubborn. He had repeatedly asked to let go, but she refused. She ignored him and just looked at the clepsydra on the side. The clepsydra was used for timing. It was obvious that she would not allow him to relieve himself before the time was up. This was probably not her decision. It was probably what Li Tai told her.

It is still unknown why Li Tai gave such instructions, but this person has been resolutely carrying out Li Tai's orders, which is certain.

In addition, he had tried to talk to her before, but she remained silent and ignored, which was also a bit unreasonable. The most important thing was that after she spoke angrily, her face showed tension and panic. It was probably because she inadvertently disobeyed Li Tai's order, and Li Tai's previous instruction to her was probably not to talk to him.

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought that she started meditating and practicing Qi after cleaning up. This is not right. There is almost no spiritual energy to absorb in this place. This person is a mountain dweller and a master of purple energy. He should not be unable to feel this. , she should also know that meditating and practicing Qi here is almost futile, so why does she persist so stubbornly?

Furthermore, this person should be between twenty-three and four years old, only two or three years older than him and Jiang Nan. However, he and Jiang Nan only have Dongxuan cultivation level and light blue aura. This person is young. But she has already advanced to Purple Qi. What gives her such an amazing speed in Qi training? By chance? Qi-tonifying elixir? No, he and Jiang Nan have both of these two things. His fortune is unparalleled. As a noble of the Ox Clan, Jiang Nan allows him to use the Qi-boosting pills, but the two of them are three times behind this person. level.

There seems to be no other reasonable explanation other than practicing diligently, but it is impossible for a normal person to be without trivial matters and interpersonal interactions. It is impossible for a normal person to only practice Qi all day long. There will definitely be distractions from trivial matters. From this perspective, this person must be different from ordinary people. In addition to practicing Qi every day, he is practicing Qi. Who can do this?

There is only one reasonable answer, and that is a fool!

However, it is impossible for a real fool to concentrate. Only those who are stubborn and do not know how to adapt can persevere and persevere. In addition, fools often look like fools, but this person is very beautiful, dignified and well-behaved.

There is also a very important point, that is, this person is a noble of the Bird Clan, and countless pairs of eyes inside and outside the tribe are staring at him. If he is really stupid, the news will definitely not be suppressed, and it will have spread outside.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan was almost certain that this person was a stubborn person, but this was not good news for him. A stubborn person didn't know how to adapt, would strictly follow orders, and would not be easily tricked by schemes.

While Wu Zhongyuan was staring at her and thinking deeply, the young woman stood up and walked towards him.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at her, then tilted his head to look at the clepsydra. The clepsydra no longer dripped, which meant that the prescribed time had come and he could relieve himself.

The young woman came closer and stretched out her hand.

Wu Zhongyuan originally thought that he was going to seal his acupuncture points, but he never thought that the young woman's hands would reach towards his neck, pinch and twist with her slender fingers, untie the rope that fixed the iron helmet, and take off the iron helmet.

Wu Zhongyuan did not expect that the other party would make such a move, and he had no time to think about the reason at the critical moment, so he immediately concentrated on sensing the existence of Dasha and Huang Mao'er.

The result of the perception made him both surprised and confused. The surprise was because he could clearly perceive the emotions of Dasha and Huang Mao'er, but the confusion was because he could not determine the position and distance of Dasha and Huang Mao'er.

He has never encountered this kind of situation before, it is definitely abnormal, and this abnormality is undoubtedly because of what Li Tai and others did, which affected his perception and positioning of Dasha and Huang Mao'er, and he was unable to Dasha and Huang Maoer positioned themselves, and the latter was unable to locate him. The reason why the young woman had been looking at the clepsydra before was probably waiting for Li Tai and others to complete the matter.

After taking off the iron helmet, the young woman began to seal the acupoints. The sealing was not the main points of the main meridian or the special meridian, but the two points on his left hand. The function of these two points is to prevent the spiritual energy from connecting to the five fingers of his left hand, which is harmful to him. The direct consequence is that it is impossible to perform the kneading technique. To be precise, although the kneading technique can be kneaded, the finger kneading technique will not be effective.

After sealing the acupuncture points, the young woman untied the iron chains that bound him. Only then did Wu Zhongyuan realize that behind him was a huge metal cauldron. Its shape was somewhat like a wine bottle. This thing should be a vessel for smelting metal. It had a different color. Ash, I'm not sure what metal it is, but it's definitely not copper.

After untying Wu Zhongyuan, the young woman held one end of the iron chain and pointed to the right side. There was an entrance where she pointed, and there was a wooden door outside, which must have been a toilet.

"Where is that place?" Wu Zhongyuan asked knowingly.

The young woman didn't answer.

Wu Zhongyuan did not ask any more questions and walked to the right. The young woman followed two feet behind with an iron chain in her hand...
