Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 272: Fishing for words in the lake, please take a seat!

[A hideous face with a big grin slowly emerged from the lake.]

[I felt my eyes sore, and in my mind, there seemed to be cicada chirping and ghost crying intertwined, and an inexplicable feeling of nausea and retching surged up. ]

[Just when you are about to lose your balance, a sense of tranquility suddenly emerges in your chest and spreads out instantly, sweeping away all the disturbances, and your mind becomes clear again.]

【（Tip: "Calmness in the chest" has taken effect.）】

[You gaze at the water again, your heart already at peace.]

【at this time!】

[Deep in the lake, there seemed to be ink surging, like a scroll spreading in the water, and a few words quietly revealed the meaning of swords, like a dragon emerging from the water, shuttling between the lotus leaves, and causing ripples on the water.]

[In just a moment, the ugly ghost face shattered into ashes, and a terrified whimper echoed in the water. ]

[You stand at the bow, your eyes fixed on the lake surface, and see the ink-like writing moving in the water, gradually gathering to form three characters.]

[“Hong”]

【"scene"】

【"hospital"】

[These three words sometimes turn into a dragon flying under the water, and sometimes break into letters. You feel familiar yet shocked.]

[What shocked me was that these three words were as magical as three black dragons, rolling under the boat and stirring up waves.]

【What a miracle! 】

[In fact, it is not much better than a water ghost, but you already know that you can practice in this world. ]

[What is familiar is that, for some reason, these three words feel close. ]

[These characters seem to have the same effect as the calligraphy that you practiced hard and that Dong Shao gave you.]

[This Mr. Dong seems to have a relationship with the second master of the academy? ]

[The brush moves like a dragon and a snake, and the meaning is as sharp as a sharp step, and it is also free and easy. 】

[If the spring light is full of dew, the collapsing clouds seem to be free of bones. ]

[Suddenly, you remembered all the rumors about Hongjingyuan. It is said that the three characters "Hongjingyuan" were written by the second master of the academy.]

[Could it be that this is really the work of Mr. Er? You speculate in your heart, but you find it hard to believe. After all, more than ten years have passed, and things have changed.]

[I haven't seen a writer for ten years, and dragons and snakes are flying in the lake. ]

[The people around him didn't find it unusual.]

[The three ink-and-wash dragons seemed to have a special liking for the boat and were reluctant to leave, hovering in the water beside the boat.]

[The boatman rowing the boat at the back couldn't help but grumble, "Why is the water in the lake so turbulent today? It's hard to push the boat."]

[Faced with this situation, you choose...]

1. Take out three words from the water. (Hint: Disaster may come soon.)
2. Do not fish the words out of the water, they will remain in the lake. (Hint: You may miss an opportunity.)
3. Pick out two words from it, "Xie" and "Hong". (Hint: Disaster may befall.)
4. Take out two words from it, "Thank you" and "Yuan". (Hint: Disaster may happen later.)
5. Take out two words from it, "Hong" and "Yuan". (Hint: There may be opportunities, or there may be disasters.)
6. Take out the word "thank you" from it. (Hint: There may be a good change.)
7. Take out the word "Hong" from it. (Hint: There may be a good change, but there will also be troubles left.)
8. Get out of it. (Hint: There may be a great opportunity.)
9. Get involved in person. (0/3)

The options on the cauldron slowly froze.

Yu Ke was surprised to see so many options. Apart from participating in person, there were actually eight options.

He watched it from beginning to end!
You can directly exclude the options by selecting three or two words, and the prompts will all contain the word "disaster".

Do these three words represent different meanings?

So!

If you don’t choose, you will miss an opportunity, so eliminate it.

There are only three different options left to fish out a word.

Compared with the following prompts, the word "Hong" is not advisable.

So the two words "Xie" and "Yuan".

Choose one of the two. Judging from the hints, one is a good change, and the other is a great opportunity.

Yu Ke made his choice without hesitation.

8. Get out of it. (Hint: There may be a great opportunity.)
The simulation continues.

[You lean over and slowly stretch out your hand. As soon as your fingers touch the surface of the lake, the three-tailed dragon instantly turns into three words and happily touches your fingertips.]

[You try to pick up the word "院" from it, and it slowly melts into your palm like ink.]

[At this moment, after you made your choice, the remaining two words still lingered on you, and eventually turned into two dragons, then plunged into the bottom of the lake and disappeared without a trace.]

[You open your palm, and a small word "院" is clearly written on it, remaining in the palm of your hand.]

【Then, this handwriting appeared in your mind.】

[You suddenly feel an urge to write a piece of calligraphy. The handwriting on the calligraphy that Mr. Dong gave you was like a soulless body, but now it seems to be endowed with a real soul.]

[This copybook may be a copy of Mr. Er's handwriting, but the essence of the charm is not grasped, and only its appearance is similar.]

[It is 70% similar in appearance, but I am afraid it only touches the surface of its spirit. ]

[As you ponder, the word "Yuan" slowly spreads in your mind, like a shining golden wall of words.]

[On it, a hundred lines of writing were arranged in an orderly manner. It turned out to be a sword formula. At the top was written——"Demon Slaying Sword"! ]

[You can't help but whisper: "Demon slaying..."]

[The ghost in the lake just now! ]

[Could it be that the two words that are not yet left in the lake are also two kinds of sword techniques! ]

[Mr. Er's swordsmanship is so powerful that it is feared by the world. Could it be that these are his legacy? However, why are they hidden in this deep lake? ]

[You are somewhat surprised. You have never practiced in this small courtyard. This sword that kills ghosts seems to be a combination of spiritual cultivation and martial arts.]

【At this moment, you don’t have time to look closely. 】

[Your eyes follow the last direction where the black air dissipated and land on a pavilion.]

[Behind the pavilion curtain, a young man is looking at this place with vicious eyes. ]

[Beside him, an old man looked listless, blood was constantly gushing out of his mouth and nose, his face was pale, and he fell powerlessly among the fruits on the table.]

[In addition, you also saw two familiar faces, Gan Zhi from the Second Courtyard, someone close to Madam Zhao, and Xie Renfeng's maid Shi Lan. The two women stood aside, somewhat at a loss.]

[You frowned slightly, thinking secretly in your heart. ]

[The boat continued to move forward and finally slowly approached the shore. ]

[“You stand still, and the old boatman’s slightly hoarse but respectful voice rings in your ears: “Young Master, please come into the courtyard.”]

【“Thank you, old man.”】

[Old Zhouzi waved his hands quickly and said humbly: "I cannot take your words, young master. This is my duty."]

[After saying this, a barely perceptible light flashed in his cloudy eyes. He looked up at you for a second, then gazed deeply at the sparkling lake, and then sailed away.]

[You looked in the direction the boatman left. Although you had an accident on the boat just now, you still paid attention to the old boatman in the boat. He was very calm from beginning to end, until the ink appeared in the lake, and his face showed a little shock, but you still noticed it. ] [Such a big family as the Xie Mansion must be "crouching tigers, hidden dragons", so it should not be underestimated. ]

[You slowly climb up to the Xie Hong Courtyard and look up to see the plaque outside the gate, "Xie Hong Courtyard."]

[But those three words are far less spiritual than the three words in the lake.]

[You have already made up your mind and are about to enter the room. ]

[At this moment, a gentle and soft voice came from behind. ]

【“Guan Di!”】

[You slowly turn around and see a man and a woman, followed by several servants, walking towards you.]

【Lu Ya stands behind Xie Ying and winks at you repeatedly.】

[You smiled and greeted, "Hello, Fourth Sister!"]

【Xie Ying also smiled and said: "Brother Guan, I haven't seen you for a while, and you look more energetic than ever. Just now on the boat in the lake, I almost didn't recognize you."】

[“Fourth sister, you are too kind.”]

[“This is General Sima of Jiannan Road. Brother Guan, you probably haven’t met him yet. I just mentioned you to General Sima.”]

[You are not arrogant. You know very well that the power of the governor is very important, equivalent to a frontier official. Moreover, this person is from the Sima family, so he must hold great power.]

[Perhaps it was because it was your first time to witness the demeanor of a cultivator. This governor of Jiannan Road was dressed in a black casual suit, looking just like an ordinary person, not showing off his talent.]

[On the contrary, not far away, eight guards dressed in tight clothes, with their right hands on their swords, had their blood boiling and exuded a strong sense of oppression. Their bodies seemed as hot as a furnace, and they seemed to be facing a ferocious beast, which was frightening.]

[They are like invisible sharp blades, clinging to your skin, making you feel terrified.]

[The Xie family servants around here all deliberately stayed away from this place.]

[Is this person a martial arts practitioner? Just based on my feelings, I feel uneasy.]

[As you looked up, Sima Ting's blazing eyes locked onto you. His eyes seemed to show the galloping of war horses, the deafening shouts of the charging army, and the fluttering of flags stained with blood in the setting sun.]

【You looked at it with a calm gaze. 】

[A ball of calmness appears in your chest, calming your mind. ]

【So, you bowed and said, "Xie Guan, I'm honored to meet General Sima."】

[Sima Ting looked a little surprised, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Guan, no need to be so polite!"]

【Xie Ying was wondering why you came to the Grand View Garden. Given Madam Yuan's personality, she would not pay attention to a bastard like you.】

【How could I let you come here! 】

[After living in the Xie Mansion for many years, she was somewhat afraid of this mistress.]

[But she didn't ask any more questions. This brother of Guan had the same calm and resolute character as his mother.]

【Xie Ying said with a smile: "Brother Guan, why don't you go sit in the pavilion!"】

[She was happy to see that you did not lose your composure in front of the governor of Jiannan Road and remained the same as always.]

[After all, you were recommended by her, and if you are impolite, it will be a loss for her.]

[You think back to the things in the lake, as well as Gan Zhi and Shi Lan in the pavilion just now, and your heart will be at ease.]

[Sima Ting saw your hesitation and said: "Master Guan, it seems that you haven't practiced yet."]

[“If you have any doubts, I can answer them for you, Master Guan.”]

【Xie Ying was a little surprised when she heard this. She knew Sima Ting's personality very well. In the past, when the young masters of the Xie Mansion asked him for martial arts lessons, he never paid any attention. Why would he take the initiative to answer your questions today?】

[She looked at Sima Ting with her beautiful eyes, worried that Sima Ting was using Xie Guan as a pawn to act in the Xie Mansion.]

[Sima Ting shook her hand with a gentle look in his eyes.]

【Xie Ying felt a little ashamed. How could she have doubted Brother Ting?】

[You smiled and said: "Xie Guan was originally a bastard, a useless person. It is a blessing for General Sima to value him."]

[The three of them walked towards the pavilion on the east side of the lake.]

[You look at Xie Ying, your fourth half sister, who is walking in front of you.]

[She hurried here as soon as she got off the boat and invited me to the pavilion, which was actually a silent favor.]

[Is it worth it to exchange her favor with Sima Ting for the situation of a bastard? 】

[Walking to a stone table and a warm stove, the three of them sat down.]

[The charcoal fire in the stove burned brightly, emitting waves of warmth and dispelling the coldness around me. ]

【Lu Ya stood aside, feeling strange in her heart. She didn't know why, but just now when Master Guan was not around, she felt uncomfortable facing Sima Ting and the other warriors.】

[Now that Master Guan has arrived, the discomfort has miraculously faded a lot. ]

[The young man stood up and calmly served tea to the two. Lu Ya muttered to herself, this young master is coming to the Grand View Garden for the first time, and it is also the first time he has met Sima Ting, how can he be so calm and composed? ]

Sima Ting looked at the young man, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked: "It's really strange. I have seen many children of big families. Although they don't seem to be afraid of me, they always feel a little uncomfortable."

[“Why are you so calm?”]

[He couldn't help but look serious and said: "Are you underestimating me, Sima Ting?"]

[Sima Ting's sudden change of expression caught Luya off guard, and she nodded quickly, her eyes falling on her toes.]

[Sima Ting is a martial arts expert, his family is prosperous and powerful, and he is indeed a prominent family. He has been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally cultivates the extraordinary bearing of a superior. ]

[Luckily, this incident was not directed at her. If it were her, she would have been so scared that she would have knelt down and begged for mercy.]

[You look calm and speak slowly: "Because I have had the honor of seeing people who are more outstanding than General Sima, and often sit side by side with them and talk with them until late at night, so I have nothing to fear."]

[“We talked about everything in the world, from the past to the present.”]

[Sima Ting heard this and said with a hint of amusement: "Oh? I wonder who this person is?"]

【Xie Ying was also full of doubts. Logically speaking, this brother Xie Guan had been blind for more than half a year. It was said that he listened to books all day and hardly ever stepped out of the house.】

【Where does such a close friend come from! 】

[Inside the Xie Mansion, except for the two court masters who are not in the mansion, there is no one stronger than Sima Ting. ]

[You smiled calmly and said softly: "Since the beginning of the world, the voices of the sages have been echoing in my ears for eight thousand years."]

[“Whether he is a general, a prince, a peddler, or a ruler of a country.”]

【“I thank you for watching, and invite them to take a seat!”】
