Chapter 1: Reborn

  Rebirth: A Life Without Regrets

  Suqi, 30 kilometers away from the county seat of Changfu, is located in the Anning River Valley and is a remote ancient town in the southwest of Sichuan. It has a long history, having been the site of seven dynasties' counties and five dynasties' prefectures. There are glorious historical sites such as "Shu army's campsite", "Taiping army's drum tower" and "Worker-peasant Red Army's rich-helping-the-poor". It is an ancient post station on the Southern Silk Road, which was opened up by Sima Xiangru over 2,000 years ago from Chengdu to India via Yunnan. Suqi is one of the post stations along the way. There are three ancient cities and Neolithic sites within the town, with over a thousand unearthed cultural relics. It is the northern gate of Changfu and an important town for political, economic and cultural exchanges between different ethnic groups.

  Suqi is also a famous town with special significance in the history of the Long March. In 1935, the Red Army passed through here during the Long March and stayed for six days. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, Nie Rongzhen and other old-generation proletarian revolutionaries all fought and lived here. At the famous Suqi Conference, the Central Red Army formally proposed the term "Long March" with great historical significance and determined the route of the Long March to northern Shaanxi.

  The old town has mainly four straight streets, forming a grid pattern, and the outskirts are all farmland. In the distance, the originally lush mountains were cut down during the Great Leap Forward to smelt iron, leaving them somewhat barren, making people sigh with regret. The streets are lined with ancient-style houses, many of which were built in the late Qing and early Republic periods, with distinct architectural styles, mostly made of brick, wood or earth structures, neatly arranged on the street surface, commercial facades extending one after another, with eaves columns in front of the shops, corridors along the streets for walking. Behind the shops are often residential courtyards or production workshops. The buildings have rich changes in shape, mostly two-story, with wooden movable boards installed on the ground floor facing the street, and cabinets inside the boards. The backyards often have a skywell, with flower beds set up inside, using the skywell to bring in natural light, forming a gentle breeze through the house, making the room warm in winter and cool in summer.

  People live in these old houses, with courtyards of thirty or forty square meters, where they do laundry, cook, watch TV, and gaze at the blue sky and clouds drifting lazily by. Women sit or squat on the street to make shoe pads, some even lie down on a wooden recliner while working, with a dragon gate array nearby. The alleys are filled with wisps of smoke, where people wash clothes and vegetables, and others idle about... Many elderly women wear side-buttoned shirts and their own woven hats, while some men still wear white cloth headscarves. In the small shops, old tea tables display various miscellaneous food items, barber shops have old-fashioned wooden chairs, and traditional Chinese medicine stores have copper-handled medicine cabinets that shine with a faint light...

  This is almost an earthly paradise!

  In the scorching summer of 1979, on the twentieth day of the fifth lunar month, although it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, many people still hastily finished their meal after work and went back to work in the fields. It had not been long since they contracted the land to households, everyone saw hope, and everyone gathered their strength, hoping to cultivate the land more meticulously, so as to have a better harvest. In those years, hard work was nothing, being able to live a good life was the most realistic thing.

  The fields in the ancient town are mostly located in the Anning River basin, with fertile soil and abundant sunshine. Whether it's growing grains or vegetables, the yield is very high, making it an important grain production base for the local area. During the period of food rationing, everyone lacked enthusiasm for work, but now it's different. In the past, people would drag their feet to get through the day, but now they rush to finish their tasks as quickly as possible. As everyone busies themselves with farm work, they loudly joke and chat, creating a lively atmosphere without any pause in their labor. Working like this makes everyone happy and doesn't delay the farm work at all.

  People in this era are indeed very simple and easy to satisfy.

  At this time, a heavily pregnant woman wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe on her shoulder came walking along, seeing this scene, others couldn't help but shout: "Ah Fen, you're about to give birth, how can you still work in the fields?"

  Afen wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled: "It's okay, Yunying is not here, her parents are in poor health, take advantage of it while you still can, do more."

  "Lingyun, you're really something! You're about to give birth and he's still not back. Both at home and outside, everything relies on you alone to take care of. It's really tough for you!" Neighbor Zhang Shu hastily climbed up the ridge, supported Ah Fen, took over the farm tools in her hand, and said: "You hurry back, it's too hot outside, be careful not to get sunburned. I can handle this little thing!"

  "How can that be?" Ah Fen said stubbornly: "Aunt Zhang, you've already helped us a lot, your family has a lot of work to do too, how can we still trouble you?"

  "What's wrong? That little work, we can all finish it in a few minutes. You take care of your body, don't have any problems!" At this time, everyone also started advising and persuading, some were so anxious that they had already put down their own work and rushed to Ah Fen's field to help.

  Everyone is in the same production team and they are all familiar with each other on a daily basis. Helping each other out is also a common occurrence.

  Afeng's full name is Li Yuafen, around 30 years old. During the period of public canteens, she was in charge of the warehouse of the production team. She is diligent and kind, sincere and enthusiastic, good at helping others, and has a good relationship with the locals. Her husband, Leng Yunying, is a township cadre, but he works in another township about 50 kilometers away and can't take care of his family. Leng Yunying's parents are weak and sick, and except for some trivial matters at home, they can't help much. The two sons, Leng Zhengxiang and Leng Zhenglin, are still young and in elementary school, so usually, everything depends on Afeng herself, and life is very hard. Fortunately, both husband and wife have good relationships with others, and neighbors are also willing to help them out.

  "How can I bear to, how can I bear to?" Li Yufen hurriedly tried to get down and stop them. Normally, everyone's help was already more than enough, how could she bear to trouble everyone again?

  "Don't move around, go rest quickly!" Zhang Shu hastily pulled her back and said: "It turns out that you also helped everyone a lot, everyone remembers! However, this is not a long-term solution, it's better to let Leng Yunyi come back early! You won't have to work so hard then."

  Li Yuanfen's right hand rested on her waist, while her left hand gently stroked her bulging belly. With a happy expression, she said: "If it can be adjusted back, of course, that would be great. But I don't understand the government's affairs, he has his work, and I won't hold him back!"

  "You're just too kind-hearted, you take everything on yourself."

  Just then, a sudden gust of wind blew in, and the sand and stones flew about, making it impossible to open one's eyes. After several gusts of wind had passed, the originally clear sky began to roll with dark clouds, which grew thicker and thicker, until the sky was as if dyed black by ink, and the rumbling sound of thunder could be faintly heard, and it seemed that rain was imminent.

  "This damned weather, it's as changeable as a child's face! It changes the moment you say so!" Everyone in the field grumbled quietly to each other, gathering their tools and climbing up the ridge, preparing to hurry back home.

  "Let's go too!" Zhang Shu patted the mud off her body and said to Li Huanfen, "We'll finish the work in the fields tomorrow, it's going to rain again if we're late."

  "Uh-huh!" replied Li Yuafen. Although she felt a bit regretful that they couldn't finish the farm work today, it was raining and there was nothing they could do about it. Besides, in her current condition, getting rained on would be troublesome, and if she got sick, she wouldn't be able to take medicine. After the rain, the roads would be muddy and slippery, and if she accidentally slipped and fell, hurting her fetal energy, that would be disastrous.

  As soon as I stepped across the threshold, big raindrops started pouring down, initially one by one, but within a few seconds they became lines, and after another few seconds, the lines merged into sheets, pouring down in torrents, with no end in sight. Looking up, the sky was a blurry mess.

  "What a close call!" Li Yuanfen and Zhang Shu were secretly relieved. If they had been one step later, they would have definitely gotten soaked.

  "Alright, you're home now, I'm going back too. It's time to tidy up, this rain is really heavy, I haven't seen such a big rain in decades, hopefully it won't flood again this year, that would be unbearable. I don't know what can make it stop, later I still need to go pick up the kid from school." Zhang Aunt said as she helped Li Huafen sit down, preparing to head out and go back home. Her house is just next door to Li Huafen's, they often come and go between each other's homes.

  At this moment, a flash of lightning cut through the sky, passing quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to split the sky in two. However, that scene seemed to remain clearly in people's field of vision or in their hearts. Perhaps even after a long time, when mentioning this scene, everyone can still recall it clearly.

  Then came a series of dull, rumbling thunderclaps from above, and just as people thought the thunder was about to pass, a loud clap of thunder suddenly exploded in their ears, deafening them. The children were frightened into tears, and the adults trembled with fear for a while before coming back to their senses, comforting the children not to cry.

  "Sit down, Aunt Zhang. It's raining so heavily outside, you can't do anything even if you go back now... Ah..." Just as Li Yufen was about to slowly get up and persuade Aunt Zhang to stay, a sudden severe pain struck her abdomen, it hurt so much that she seemed to be numb all over, and she suddenly lost the strength to get up. Cold sweat also started pouring down.

  "Oh no, what's wrong? Is it time?" Zhang Shu was shocked and quickly came forward to support Li Yuanfen.

  "It should be, the doctor also said it's probably just these few days." Li Yufen was in so much pain that she could barely speak, her face pale as ash.

  "Oh dear, don't worry, I'll go call your in-laws and get Auntie Huang to come and deliver the baby." Zhang Shu said, then loudly shouted: "Auntie Zhou, Auntie Zhou, hurry up, Ah Fen is going into labor!"

  Lei Yunfen's mother-in-law rushed out of the back room, anxiously saying: "I told her not to go out, but she didn't listen. Look at this! Grandfather, grandfather, hurry up and boil some water, a lot of it, Afen is going into labor." She yelled loudly for Lei Yunfen's father-in-law Leng Qingyuan, then turned to Zhang Shu and said: "Zhang Shu, I'm really troubling you, but thanks to your help. However, I still need to trouble you to find Huang Niangzi."

  "Alright, I'll go right away." At this critical moment, Zhang Aunt didn't even bother to grab an umbrella, and with the straw hat she used to shield herself from the sun while working in the fields on her head, she rushed into the rain.

  The thunder grew louder, and the lightning flashed one after another, as if to release all the pent-up energy at once. However, everyone was busy welcoming new life, and had completely forgotten about this unusual storm.

  Not long after, with a loud cry of "wa", a new life gurgled out, the crying voice was loud and clear, even in the midst of thunderous roars it could be clearly distinguished, as if proclaiming his existence to this world.

  After the cry, the thunder gradually faded away, and the lightning flashed twice in a final struggle before disappearing. Shortly afterwards, the heavy rain also gradually subsided, stopped, and the dark cloud layers accumulated in the sky dispersed with the wind. After a while, it was surprisingly sunny again after the rain, and a beautiful rainbow appeared at the edge of the sky.

  The rain has stopped, and people are coming out of their houses, marveling at the unpredictable and magical changes in nature while clearing the accumulated rainwater from the walls and streets. The children, however, are overjoyed, ignoring their parents' scolding, running to play in the puddles, splashing water everywhere, getting completely soaked but laughing with glee.

  Is this rebirth? Cold and icy, he stared with wide eyes, rolling around, looking left and right, as if confirming something. When he bid farewell to Yanluo Wang and the Thunder God couple, he walked into the Rebirth Road with excitement and joy in his heart, still wondering how the Rebirth Road would let him be reborn. As the gate closed, everything in front of him was dark, and before he could adapt, he only felt a warm current wrapping around him, moving forward, unknowing for how long, perhaps one second, or perhaps a century. Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in front of him, getting closer and closer, and he saw that it was an exit.

  What would be behind the exit? As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he had already passed through the exit and reached the outside. Before he could see the situation outside clearly, his buttocks were heavily slapped by someone. Who is it? What are you doing? He shouted angrily, who plays such a joke? Even if it's Yanluo Wang, I'll argue with him.

  Huh? What's going on? As soon as he spoke, what he heard was actually a baby's crying sound.

  He hastily looked around, but the scene that entered his eyes made him stunned: this was a room that was somewhat familiar and unfamiliar in memory, very simple, except for a bed and an old-fashioned dresser with a mirror, there was nothing else. There were several people in the room, all looking at themselves and smiling, wait, wasn't the one lying on the bed, who looked a bit weak, his own mother? Still with a thick black braid...

  Could it be that I've been reborn?

  It's as if I'm dreaming, it seems like just a second ago I was still in the underworld with Yanluo Wang and the Thunder God couple, and then suddenly this second I was reborn to 1979?

  Is this a farewell to 2008? At this moment, the numerous experiences of past lives are like scenes from a movie that emerge one by one in my mind, with joy, excitement, loss, worries, embarrassment, regret, longing, and anticipation... Too many emotions intertwined with everything, can't be sorted out, can't be cut off, truly a mix of a hundred feelings, beyond words.

  Although he had been mentally prepared for this and was even looking forward to it, the huge contrast at that moment still left him somewhat at a loss as to what to think.

  "Ah Fen, you're a little rascal, you're a little rascal, you're really something else! Others can't even get one son, but you've had three in one go, what a wonderful birth!" A somewhat hoarse voice shouted loudly, as if afraid others wouldn't know she was the midwife.

  Upon hearing this, Leng Bing Xue suddenly remembered that the person was none other than the famous midwife Huang Niang. Everyone generally referred to her by this title, and few people knew her actual name. At the time, she had delivered almost all of the children within a ten-mile radius. People back then held some feudal ideas about preferring boys over girls, and Huang Niang also favored boys; most of the babies she delivered were indeed boys, which was something she took great pride in. However, her own family consisted only of girls, whether born to her or her daughters, which often left her feeling depressed. In Leng Bing Xue's past impression, although Huang Niang was somewhat mercenary and had a vicious tongue that had offended many people, she was very kind to the boys she had delivered, including himself. Whenever he passed by her house, she would invite him in, either giving him candies or melon seeds, then stroking his head and reminiscing about the time she delivered him.

  "Let me see!" Li Yufen sat up straight and said hastily.

  "Look, isn't he cute? His nose is so high and his eyes are so big. Don't cry, those big round eyes are still looking at me! He's really adorable!" Huang Niang was saying as she handed the baby to Li Yuanfen. It seems that she actually likes this little kid.

  The other neighbors also echoed, praising the child's good looks and saying that he would grow up to be a lucky person, become an official and get rich. Grandma Zhou Wenjing was so delighted that she couldn't close her mouth.

  Li Yuanfen took the child, full of love and looked at his nose, his eyes, his small mouth. Although she was already a mother for the third time, her heart was still overflowing with boundless happiness.

  This is my mother, my dear mother, I finally see you again. Cold and numb, staring blankly at Li Yu Fen's face, everything in front of me is blurry.

  In her previous life, my mother had a very difficult time. Because the family was poor and my father was often away from home, the money he sent back was barely enough for my grandparents to buy medicine and see doctors. My mother single-handedly supported the family, although she hadn't read many books, but worked hard in the fields, did household chores, respected her parents, loved her husband, raised three sons, and did everything she could to give them a better life and education environment. In the end, all three of my uncles became successful, and our family produced three university students (note: at that time, university students were really rare, like in local schools, there were only a few dozen university students each year, it was very impressive, unlike now when university students are everywhere and unemployment is a problem), and this was passed down as a legend in the local area. She fulfilled her duties as a traditional virtuous wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, and played her role perfectly, earning high praise from the locals. It wasn't until all three sons had jobs that the family's situation gradually improved, but before she could even repay them, she passed away, leaving behind white-haired people to mourn for the black-clad deceased...

  Thinking of this, he made a silent vow in his heart: Mom, I didn't do my filial duty well in my previous life and failed to take good care of you. In this life, I will definitely make you the happiest mother in the world.

  "Oh, baby's crying again, is he hungry?" However, Li Yuanfen couldn't understand his thoughts and thought he was hungry, so she hurriedly coaxed him, gently swaying.

  "I'll give the baby a bath first!" Huang's wife took the child and began to bathe him in a basin that had been prepared long ago.

  Although he was extremely uncomfortable with others washing his body, the child's words were weak and ineffective. The water was neither hot nor cold, just right, and as he washed, his whole body felt warm and cozy. Perhaps it was because the child's brain had not yet developed well, or perhaps it was because he had not slept since rescuing people from the earthquake, his nerves had been tense all along. As he washed, he felt drowsy and soon fell asleep.

  Leng Bing Han woke up again, and the sky had already darkened. The house was lit with a dim lamp.

  When he saw the simple room and the old decorations, he didn't react for a moment, wondering where he was. It wasn't until after a good while that he remembered he had been reborn, back to 1979, this was reality, not a dream.

  The mother was also sound asleep, it seemed that she was indeed tired. The busyness of the whole day, even when she was about to give birth, she didn't have a good rest. Now everything has been put down, and fatigue has come suddenly, so she should have a good rest too.

  The house was very quiet, but outside there were some murmurs coming from afar, probably some relatives and friends who had heard the news came to visit and were quietly chatting in a low voice, sometimes when they reached an exciting topic, they would burst into suppressed laughter. In daily life, everyone is busy, after the household contract responsibility system was implemented, each person was busy with their own business, there were no more gatherings like before, and the opportunities for people to gather together and chat idly were also rare.

  Fortunately, my mother and I were both asleep just now. Otherwise, those aunts would have been teasing me nonstop, either pinching my face or touching my butt and private parts. If it were a newborn baby, it wouldn't matter, since they don't know anything anyway. But for someone like me who was almost thirty years old in their past life, even though my body has shrunk, my consciousness is still that of a thirty-year-old man's. Being teased by them like this really makes one feel awkward and embarrassed.

  Leng Bing Han moved his body lightly, only to find that he was wrapped up like a mummy, tightly bound and unable to move. It was clear that the adults were worried that children would get hurt if they moved around too much. This situation was not unfamiliar to Leng Bing Han from his past life, but it was really uncomfortable. Just imagine being wrapped up like this one day, unable to move at all - how unbearable would that be?

  But at this time he could only accept reality.

  Lying in bed with wide eyes, cold and stiff, but my brain started to churn. Although I had reincarnated, what could I do? My mind was very active, but my body was too weak. Even the most powerful reincarnator would be a newborn baby now, unable to do anything except cry, drink milk, sleep, and think wildly. Of course, unless he's not human, but a god.

  It's that Yama King's Suzuri seal, I don't even know if it'll work after reincarnation. This is a great treasure, the electric thunder is still inside, can't afford to make any mistakes or I'll suffer a huge loss.

  Thinking of this, Leng Bing Xian first observed that there was no one around, then called out to Ming You Jie Zi from his consciousness.

  He soon felt the presence of the ring. But how could he get it out? Even if he managed to take it out, with his small arms and legs, how could he put it on? Now that he had just been reborn, his whole body was weak, and all he could do was cry loudly, turn his head, stretch his hands, and kick his legs. First of all, let's not mention whether his tender fingers could wear the ring or not. Even if he really wore it on his hand, a newborn baby with a ring on his finger would either be shocking or considered a prank, and the ring would definitely not be safe. If he couldn't wear it, where would it fall? He wouldn't even be able to pick it up, and someone else would get it for free. If this Suoyi Ring really couldn't be kept because of this, Cold Ice might even have the heart to commit suicide.

  He finally decided that, for safety's sake, he would not consider taking out the Su Mei Zhai Zi for now, besides it was basically useless at present. To comfort his slightly disappointed mood, he thought: as long as the Lei Wu Xian didn't take it out, Yan Luo Wang wouldn't ask him to return the Ming Yu Zhai Zi, although it was bound to be returned eventually, but having it in his hands for one more day was still one more day. Just looking at and playing with this treasured object of Yan Luo Wang's brought indescribable joy and satisfaction to his heart.

  Anyway, there's nothing to do, so I'll just study the Sudarshana Chakra of King Yanluo first. In the underworld, with King Yanluo and the Thunder God couple around, he tried to take and collect fun things, but he hasn't carefully studied what's inside the chakra, how big it is, or what good things are there.

  However, the soul-retrieving bead is still not taken out from the soul, can it be used if only sensed by consciousness? If it can be used, where will the thing that is taken out appear? Will it get stuck in the body? If so, wouldn't that be fatal?

  Thought about it for half a day and still didn't come to a conclusion, in the end decided to try it out first.

  As he thought of this, he quickly focused his energy on the Susumu Koji he had sensed earlier. Soon, the Koji that had only been a vague feeling began to gradually clear up in his mind. It was as if he were changing channels on TV, and as the frequency got closer, the screen went from being a snowy mess to a somewhat unclear picture, then gradually became clearer and clearer until it was finally crystal clear, with every detail visible.

  At that time in the underworld, King Yanluo gave the ring to Leng Bingxue. He only felt that the ring was a bit heavy and cold to the touch, without much recognition. Now, after clearly appearing in his mind, he discovered that the ring's shape was very simple and elegant, unlike ordinary rings that were completely round and seamless. This ring did not stick together completely, with two ends presenting a shape similar to the legendary dragon's nine sons, Pi Xiu, head and tail connected, without any traces of carving or cutting. The surface had many textures, seemingly disorderly, but if you gently rotated the ring, those textures would rotate along with it, shining brightly, echoing each other, and complementing each other. Under this background, Pi Xiu seemed to come alive, shaking its body and swinging its tail, as if swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, vivid and lifelike, making people sigh in amazement. It was indeed worthy of being King Yanluo's treasured possession.

  Although he was amazed at the appearance of Yanluo Wang, this was not his goal. He wanted to enter the inside of this Mustard Seed Ring.

  How can I get in? Is it that my spiritual power is not enough? Leng Bing Han doesn't know what exactly starts the Suzumiya ring, because everything relies on consciousness to complete, so let's just call it spiritual power. Anyway, as long as I know how to do it myself, that's all that matters.

  He then tried to concentrate and pour more spiritual power into the ring, pouring all his thoughts and consciousness into the ring. One second, five seconds, ten seconds... he didn't know how long it took, until he felt a dizziness and saw that except for looking at the ring more carefully inside and out, there was no difference.

  Is it that the method is wrong, or is it simply impossible?

  Just as he was somewhat discouraged, a red light suddenly flashed between his forehead and eyes, and he suddenly felt a loud noise in his mind, shaking him to feel like his soul was about to fly away, his ears buzzing constantly, his vision dimming, stars bursting forth, and his heart feeling extremely nauseous and uncomfortable.

  Isn't this going crazy? In the cold and ruthless heart, I was greatly shocked. I had just been reborn, if I went crazy like this, what would be damaged? What if I accidentally became blind, deaf or suffered internal injuries, or even became an idiot, what's the point of being reborn?

  The more he thought about it, the more worried and uneasy he became. He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "If that's really the case, even if I become a ghost, I'll go find King Yanluo to settle the score!" However, he never stopped to think that King Yanluo had kindly lent him the Ring of the Underworld, but hadn't allowed him to try it out like this. Everything was just the result of his own reckless actions.

  It took a good while, but everything slowly returned to normal. However, it was like suffering from heatstroke in the summer, with a severe headache and some nausea, but fortunately, my consciousness seemed unaffected.

  My head is spinning and I feel a bit dizzy, I thought to myself: "Good heavens, this is really unbearable, I dare not do such reckless things again. This time nothing happened, but next time who knows? Hmm?"

  Before he could even finish his thought, he was shocked to discover that the appearance of the Mustika ring in his mind's eye had changed. It was no longer a small ring, but a massive space, and this space looked somewhat familiar.

  "Isn't this just the space inside the Sudarshana Chakra?!" Cold Ice rubbed her eyes, unable to contain the joy in her heart, exclaiming with delight.

  It succeeded, it actually succeeded! He was overjoyed for a moment, if he hadn't just been reborn and his body was still very weak, unable to support himself, he would have been unable to resist dancing with joy.

  He had been laughing for a long time before he remembered the purpose of this trip, and then he gathered up the joy in his heart and carefully examined and observed this space.

  The space was very large, just like the chaotic space he had been in at that time. The surroundings were a blur, with nothing visible, but a soft light emanated from it, making the entire space clear and visible, yet not too dazzlingly bright.

  Because this space is chaotic and unclear, the boundaries cannot be distinguished. The entire space is vast, but it's hard to tell at a glance, without any reference objects. He doesn't have a concept of it either, only remembering that Yanluo Wang once said it was 100,000 cubic meters, which should be very large. However, thinking again, 100,000 cubic meters means 100m x 100m x 10m, dizziness, this calculation is not very big at all. 100,000 cubic meters sounds exciting and feels like the vast universe, but in reality, it's just the capacity of a few large warehouses.

  Yan Luo Wang is nothing more than this! Cold and ruthless, he muttered to himself, completely unaware that in the Xiu Zhen realm, a Su Mei Jie Zi was something that could be encountered but not sought after. Even among the limited few, the largest capacity was less than one hundred cubic meters. If others were to know that he had a ten million cubic meter Su Mei Jie Zi and still thought it was too small, he would probably be struck by lightning or die from spitting blood.

  To be honest, it's not that he was too greedy, but when I first heard 100,000 cubic meters, the feeling was very big, so big that I had no concept of it. Now that I've calculated it myself, I understand the difference between reality and imagination. In this case, it's inevitable to feel some disappointment and loss.

  But fortunately, Leng Bing was good at adjusting his mood and soon became happy again. After all, an area of half a football field is enough to hold many things, even if it's a large supermarket, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Moreover, supermarkets need to leave out safety passages, and one can just put things down with awareness, no need for passages at all. If in the future, F country dares to support ** again, Xiao R will continue to make trouble, I'll go empty out Jia Le Fu and Ito Yokado for them, let's see how they'll make trouble then, hehe. He had some sinister thoughts, but completely didn't think that under so many surveillance cameras, the possibility of emptying out someone else's supermarket is almost zero, it's not operational at all. But it can be forgiven, since it's just a fantasy, just thinking about it in one's own mind, indulging in it a bit.

  In the vast space, there are still floating those things that were seen last time. It seems that these things should not be ordinary objects, after all, they can enter the eyes of Yanluo Wang and be included in the Mingyao Zhizi, how can they be ordinary objects? Although it's not one's own thing, looking at it, studying it is possible, right?

  Actually, in the cold and icy heart, there is also a struggle between heaven and man. Calculating, if you really find some good things, should you use them for yourself or just watch them and return them to Yanluo Wang along with the seal? After all, these things belong to Yanluo Wang, and Yanluo Wang agreed to lend the seal to himself, but didn't say that he could take the things inside. However, if he lends the seal to himself, why not take out the things inside? Isn't he worried about being greedy? Or is Yanluo Wang not concerned, or did he originally want to give them to himself? Yanluo Wang is really generous, lending such precious things to himself, it's clear that he trusts himself. If he doesn't get his consent and takes these things for himself, how can he live up to his trust...

  He was struggling fiercely in his heart, one moment wanting to persuade himself that good things were in front of him and he shouldn't let them go to waste, so as not to regret it later; another moment warning himself that things that didn't belong to him must not be taken, he had to have self-respect, he had to have dignity, no matter how good the thing was, he couldn't sacrifice his conscience and sink to the level of a thief.

  After suffering for half a day, he finally made up his mind to take a look and study it. Even if it's something good, he can't have it. However, at the same time, a devil with horns on its head emerged from the bottom of his heart, sneering: If there really is something good, can you really bear not to take it?

  Several branch-like things, with roots and leaves, look a bit like what is He Shou Wu or Lingzhi, but also different from his impression of He Shou Wu and Lingzhi. He has limited knowledge and really can't figure out what it is. It smells strongly fragrant, and must be some kind of treasure, but not understanding its properties, even if given to himself, he wouldn't dare use it recklessly. Seen many times in TV movies, these things are treasures when handled well, but poisonous when handled poorly.

  A few stone-like things, warm to the touch, smooth as jade, even more incomprehensible what kind of thing it is, estimated to be some kind of Xianjing Stone mentioned in Xiuzhen, seemingly useless to oneself. He felt a little disappointed and also a little relieved, at least he didn't have to interrogate his own conscience, so as not to be torn apart by conflicting desires.

  He listlessly fiddled with the crystals, one by one, until he reached the last and smallest piece. As his consciousness brushed past it, his heart skipped a beat, as if there was a strange sensation drawing his attention, like the small stone was a tiny hole, and his consciousness was water, being drawn in and absorbed slightly when passing over it. The feeling was very subtle, and he wouldn't have noticed it if not for the sudden ripple in his mind just now.

  This stone slab is strange.

  He picked it up and looked at it from left to right, very thin, very light, there was nothing on the entire stone slab, looking like a very ordinary thing.

  But can Yan Luo Wang's things be ordinary? As the saying goes, "things will reverse when they reach an extreme", the more ordinary it appears, the less ordinary it may be. Moreover, other crystal stones did not give him that kind of unusual and subtle feeling. He firmly believed in his own judgment.

  Where is it? He turned it over and studied it for a long time, but he didn't find anything unusual.

  After a long while, he pondered and said: "Could it be that this also requires spiritual energy?"

  As soon as this idea came to mind, he immediately wanted to try it out. However, thinking twice, the pain of using spiritual power to open the Susano'o seal earlier was still vivid in his memory, and he couldn't shake off the fear that if he messed up this time, something would go wrong, and he'd really become an idiot, or get trapped inside and be unable to escape. His hard-won rebirth wouldn't even last a day before it came to an end, and all his ambitions, his life without regrets, and his desire to make amends with his parents would all come to nothing.

  He deliberated for half a day and still decided to give it a try. He had always been this kind of person, if there was something he didn't understand, he would keep thinking about it, unable to eat or sleep well. However, for safety's sake, he told himself that he just needed to try lightly, and if it didn't work out, he would immediately give up and think of another way, absolutely not acting rashly and inviting sorrow.

  He took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and then carefully concentrated his spiritual energy on the stone slab. The scene was like defusing a bomb, with a hint of fear that one misstep would lead to irreparable consequences.

  Who would have thought that this time he was too careful, his mental strength was concentrated on the stone slab, and a large amount of information poured into his mind like a tidal wave.

  It was a great shock, and I thought it had triggered some kind of restriction to counterattack my consciousness. If my mind was damaged, even if I didn't become an idiot, I would become mentally handicapped. Even if my soul had been tempered by the Xuanming Frost of Taishang Laojun and wasn't severely damaged, but if it affected my memories from past lives, then it would be equivalent to being reborn.

  He was shocked and just reacted to recall his consciousness when those information had been transmitted like a storm.

  Froze for a while, then reacted and hurriedly checked his mind, wondering what these things were. If they were like computer viruses, he would be in trouble. Or maybe someone's soul was hidden inside, taking the opportunity to seize his body, wouldn't he disappear into thin air?

  After carefully reviewing those messages, he finally let out a long sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

  The content is not much, at most it's just a few pictures and a few hundred words. It's an article called "Changxuanyuan Jing" (a type of qigong). The number of words is not many, but every word is like a rock, obscure and difficult to understand. Leng Bing Han had always loved reading in his past life, claiming to be proficient in classical Chinese literature, but he couldn't understand the meaning behind it either.

  Yan Luo Wang's collection of skills should not be ordinary things, hehe, Leng Bing Han thought to himself: I didn't take this thing away, but it was accidentally remembered by me, it's not blaming myself, nor does it go against my own moral principles.

  Is there something in this stone piece? What about other crystal stones, will they also contain some kind of skill or method? Although Yanluo Wang once said that relying on one's own qualifications and the degree of hard work, practicing these won't yield any results, but never mind, having more skills is better than not having them. Practicing is always better than not practicing, might as well find something to do when there's nothing else to do.

  However, to his disappointment, the other crystals seemed to be different from this stone chip, and nothing was obtained. Maybe there were some, but at least they couldn't be obtained by this method, and for safety's sake, he didn't dare to take too much risk either.

  Fortunately, I didn't return empty-handed today.
