Soul Echo

Lily was woken up by the sound of the wind outside the car instead of the sound of Zhong Ye and Lillian exercising.

She didn't know when she slept last night, and she couldn't get used to it even after being away from Paris for several days.

No soft beds, no warm quilts, no maids to serve, just hard, heavy sleeping bags and a legless carriage.

Thirdly unfastening her sleeping bag, Lily raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. She yawned and pushed open the door of the carriage. She staggered out of the shed and lifted the thick cloth. Face, she couldn't help shivering, and the whole person woke up.

"Hi! It's so cold!"

She then remembered that she hadn't put on a coat yet, so she hurriedly got back into the car and put on the smelly coat.

No way, she came out 'sneaking', in order to look more like she only brought a few changes of clothes, and this coat was the only one.

Jumped off the carriage and looked up to see Zhong Ye training Lillian. He only held a branch in his hand. Lily watched for a while and found that Lillian's light sword edge had never been touched. The branch in Zhong Ye's hand.

She had just seen the sharpness of that light sword last night. If the blade could touch a branch, it would definitely be able to cut it off, but Lilian couldn't do it.

Taking a step back and taking a few breaths, Lillian advanced again.

The light sword tightly held in her hand swayed back and forth, her eyes fixed on the branch in Zhong Ye's hand, and after swaying for a moment, Lilian suddenly swung out the light sword, and the sharp blade was pulled in the air. There was an arc of light, but a branch came first, and it hit the ridge of the sword.

The arm sank, and the attack dissipated.

Lilian bit her lower lip lightly, but listened to her teacher say: "This is the end of today, before the effect of the exercise is over, wipe off the sweat, and then feel the body to see if you can Find out the 'qi'."

Took a deep breath, Lillian cup one fist in the other hand and saluted, "Yes, teacher."

Watching Lillian run back In the carriage, Zhong Ye dropped the branch in his hand and looked towards another 'Lily'.

"That's how you always taught her?" the Lily asked curiously.

She woke up late the other day, and when she woke up, Zhong Ye and Lilian's workout was over.

Zhong Ye shook his head, "Not necessarily, I was teaching her sword techniques, and sometimes other things." He asked again: "By the way, what is the 'qi' you said just now? Can I learn it?"

Glancing at her, Zhong Ye walked back to the carriage, took out a deck of cards, and wondered at Lily. In his sight, he took out three cards from the card, "Guess what, what are they?"

Lily looked at it for a while, then suddenly said three numbers, and then Zhong Ye turned over the palm -None of them are right.

After doing this three times, Lily only guessed two of the nine numbers, which made Zhong Ye shake her head, "Give it up, you are not suitable for learning this."

"Does it require a strong perception ability to learn this?" Lily asked in confusion.

"'Qi' is breathing, but it is different from lung breathing. It is the breathing of the body, the breathing of blood, and the breathing of cells." Zhong Ye put up a card and suddenly threw it, Lily looked in the direction of his fingers and saw that the card had been nailed into the trunk of a big tree a few meters away.

"The 1st Step of learning 'Qi' is to control your breathing, keep your mind calm, and at the same time, keep your will warm and high, so that your body and soul collide.

>

"When the soul and the body sing at the same time and reverberate at the same time, 'Qi' is born - of course, this is a rather mysterious statement, in fact, if you want to learn 'Qi', there are actually only two The standard is to find the breathing rhythm that suits you best, and to have enough fiery fighting spirit or firm will. ”

Zhong Ye walked to the tree and took the card out of the trunk. Lily followed him, so it was clear that the card was unharmed.

“Our Martial Artists from Easterland pay attention to both internal and external training. Even if we only practice external or internal strength, we will pay attention to the Breathing Technique or the body. Therefore, there is no such thing when the soul and body are reconciled and return to Innate, that is, the stage of 'transcender'. You Xilu people play so much, but you can understand the use of 'qi'. ”

Zhong Ye knew that Lillian was eavesdropping in the carriage, so he simply amplified his voice a little bit as a popular science for her and the players.

Easterland doesn’t have as much as Xilu. From the root, there are only two systems of 'Martial Artist' and 'warlock'. Therefore, after becoming a transcender, Martial Artist players in Easterland can only awaken 'qi'. As for what 'warlock' is, he will It's not quite clear.

And the transcenders in the West Land will, based on their own cognition, awaken their 'superpowers' - or change their bodies, or control their minds, and what's more, they can manipulate shadows.

After all, all miracles come from the soul, and the shadow is the projection of the soul, so vampires have no shadows and cannot reflect themselves in the mirror, because they are essentially 'dead'.

p>

Although she was not reconciled, Lily also understood that it was impossible for her to learn Zhong Ye's ability.

Sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the carriage, and took out the bread.

The fire was lit again, and on an iron pot stand, Zhong Ye took a knife, sliced ​​the mushrooms collected last night, put them into the pot, then poured some fresh water, sprinkled with Add some salt, put in a little lard, cover and simmer for ten minutes, a pot of mushroom soup that can be considered rich in the wild is ready.

And then add a few breads, that is Lillian and the two of them have breakfast.

Unlike them, Zhong Ye, who has excellent teeth and an excellent appetite, can chew and swallow cold and hard pieces of meat, so his breakfast was yesterday. I ate the leftover half wolf late.

No matter how many times I watch it, it can make people feel shocked, and I can't help but feel a little scared...

Looking at Zhong Ye Like strong wind scattering the last clouds, half a wolf was swallowed in just ten minutes, Lily Lieber couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Seeing Zhong Ye's eating, she I was really afraid that Zhong Ye would eat people.

After breakfast, cleaning the dishes, and putting out the fire, Zhong Ye woke up two draught horses who didn't want to wake up.

>

When everything was tidy up and the two drawn horses were connected to the carriage, Zhong Ye took out his pocket watch and saw that it was half past nine.

"Last night, I remembered Stayed in the direction where the undead came. With that said, Zhong Ye steered the two draught horses and turned them into the woods.

Although it had been a night and many traces had been covered by wind and frost, Zhong Ye was still able to recover from some of the uncovered ones. Find the route of the undead in the traces of the undead.

Following the clues, in line with the memory of last night, Zhong Ye drove the carriage into the depths of the woods.

It was surprising The thing is, as they went deeper, the trees and grasses that appeared in front of them did not become denser, but sparser.

Sitting in the carriage and seeing the withered grass, Lily endured He kept his face close to the car window.

"What's the matter...how could this be..."

Zhong Ye felt a little abnormal breath in the air, this kind of The breath made him feel very uncomfortable.

Feeling this aura, Zhong Ye knew that he was in the right direction.

The two horses were also a little restless, but in Zhong Ye's After being comforted, there was no commotion, and continued to pull the carriage forward.

After a while, Zhong Ye suddenly stopped the carriage and walked forward.

"What's the matter? Zhong, have you found anything? "

Lily and Lillian both jumped off the carriage and walked to Zhong Ye's side.

Zhong Ye stood in the woods, closed his eyes, and silently sensed the tall trees hanging with ice around him.

Silence for a moment, Zhong Ye opened his eyes with cold light, "This place... is already 'dead'. "

"Dead? Why do you say dead? Lillian asked suspiciously.

"Because it has lost its vitality - even if the winter passes, this place will still look like this withered vegetation. ”

Zhong Ye squatted down, pushed away the snow on the ground, and grabbed a handful of dirt.

The dirt lay in his palm, fiddled with by his thumb, Lillian and the others could see it At this point, the mud didn't have the usual grainy feeling, but was thick like muddy water, gathered into a ball, and slowly fell from Zhong Ye's palm and fingers.

In Lilian's eyes , this thing looks like a mass of melted glue.

Throwing the dirt on the ground, Zhong Ye stood up.

"You stay here, I'll check ahead Now, Lillian, mark it on the map and see where the nearest city is, I'm going to tell the church about it. "

"Yes, teacher. "Lillian is very good, and the next moment goes back to the carriage, takes out the map and Compass from her backpack, and starts to measure her own position.

Zhong Ye strode into the depths of the jungle and disappeared there. In the shadows of the woods.

Looking around and seeing that she had nothing to do, Lily Lieber stood depressed beside the two draught horses, trying to appease them.

After a while, Zhong Ye's silhouette appeared in front of her again.

"What's the result? Lily asked anxiously.

Zhong Ye lowered his eyes and looked at the head, "There's nothing in there, just a dead place. "

Lily pursed her lower lip in disappointment, patted shiver coldly on her horse, turned and walked back to the carriage.

Zhong Ye sat back in the driver's seat, pulled the reins, and reversed the direction of the carriage , back to the avenue.

Not far away, a shadow passed through the woods behind the carriage, undetected by anyone.
