A life of clearness

Chapter 223 To untie the bell, one must tie it

"Previous life, reincarnation?"

"Or is it the original body or the clone?"

Rong Qing thought that if it was difficult to tell them apart at the moment, it would be better to regard Sword Master Ji Ming and Chu Yuan as two bodies of one will.

"Not only Sword Master Ji Ming and Chu Yuan, but also Chong Yu, Chong Ji and the others..."

From Rong Qing's perspective, the four of them, if not sharing the same ideas, at least shared the same goals, so their steps and approaches were surprisingly similar.

But the most fundamental purpose is still unknown to Rong Qing.

This feeling was not good, as if she was just a puppet being commanded around.

After watching Hong Fei leave, Rong Qing turned her head and looked towards the window. There were eight little birds sitting on the window, all of them were talismans sent by her.

She waved her hand, and one of the birds flew over and landed in her palm.

As she read the contents of the talisman, a look of satisfaction flashed in Rong Qing's eyes.

"Although Lin Tian hasn't come back yet, the good news has come first."

Rong Qing had not been in the Dream Ruins for long, but in this short period of time, Lin Tian had already understood the situation almost clearly. This was of course because he had a backer, but if he didn't have some skills, he wouldn't be able to take it down.

In Rong Qing's plan, she would not stay in this world forever. Once she had a certain level of strength and ensured that Zhong Xiu's life span was not affected, it would be time to set off for the Xuanfeng World.

In the Xuanfeng Realm, she will encounter more fortunes that suit her. More importantly, the battle for the sequence of the realm, regardless of whether she can become a sequence in the end, it is worth going there for a while to see the geniuses she meets in the battle. It is not just one genius from the spiritual world, but a cruel competition among tens of thousands of geniuses from the spiritual world.

Rong Qing knew that blindly practicing hard behind closed doors would not lead to much progress, and only when faced with challenges would she have more motivation.

The more powerful the opponent you encounter, the more you will understand your current shortcomings.

Therefore, the resources needed to go to Xuanfeng Realm must be prepared early.

Ordinary elixirs, magic tools, and other items are nothing. Spiritual veins are not in short supply in the Xuanfeng Realm. Even if Rong Qing brought all the spiritual veins she used to cross the tribulation, it would not be a big deal.

"So my goal is to collect from all schools and sects. I can always get something interesting." Rong Qing thought, "Ordinary things are really meaningless. For example, the magic guides I collected are usually not needed by anyone. But once they are needed, the price to exchange for them will be high."

"I don't need those special items urgently now, I just want them for collection. From this point of view alone, those sects dare not ask for too high a price. In addition, there are many tricks and room for maneuver in the process of exchanging these rare treasures at the treasure appreciation meeting. I am not good at this, but now with Lin Tian's help, I can save a lot of effort."

Rong Qing now has the most common array spirit stones and other items. It's not that those sects don't have them, but they naturally don't have that much inventory to maintain the consumption of the entire sect. How could they be unwilling to take out an item that is useless in the warehouse and is only used to fill the door and exchange it for a large amount of supplies?

This is a good deal for both parties, but who can get the best price depends on their own ability.

……

Yuxiang Town, Zhou family mansion.

There were small holes filled with rainwater on the stone path, broken fallen leaves were stuck in the mud, and the towering white walls blocked the view but could not block the bitter rain, and a large amount of rain poured along the curve of the eaves.

A water injection line is like a bead curtain.

In a flower gallery in the backyard, the vines entwined on the outer edge of the frame were hit by the rain and hung their heads one by one, like timid girls. The inside of the flower gallery was much drier, and the thick roof blocked the rain tightly, and even the surrounding area was surrounded by brocade to prevent raindrops from flying in.

Rong Qing sat on the couch, while Zhong Xiu lay down beside her, holding her hand loosely. Rong Qing's warmth gradually warmed Zhong Xiu's cold palm.

"According to your calculations, how long does Ah Xiu have left?" Rong Qing asked Zhao Riyue who was standing beside her with his hands hanging down.

During this period, Zhao Riyue took care of Zhong Xiu alone, from pulse diagnosis to diet, without asking anyone else for help. As a result, Dugu Zhi also focused more on the mundane affairs of Baishi Temple.

"Three months." Zhao Riyue didn't say anything euphemistic this time. He directly gave an accurate number and added: "At most."

"If the situation worsens, it will take a month or even less, or even less than a moment." Zhao Riyue lowered her eyes and said, "Given Madam's current condition, it could get worse at any time."

A person whose life span is about to end is like a weak candle in the wind. Either it burns out or it is blown out by the wind. It is hard to tell which will happen faster.

Rong Qing stretched out her other hand and gently stroked Zhong Xiu's gray hair, not even daring to use force. At this time, no one dared to comb her hair, so her sparse hair was scattered on the pillow.

Rong Qing was silent, and Zhao Riyue was smart enough to stop talking. At this time, it would be better to say nothing, as it would only lead to more mistakes.

But what would this mysterious cultivator decide? Zhao Riyue couldn't help but be curious. In her opinion, the relationship between Rong Qing and Zhong Xiu was very strange. They didn't look like mother and daughter, nor like lovers, but more like a couple who had been together for a long time.

They seem to get along in a lukewarm way at ordinary times, but once something happens, they will support each other even if it means risking everything.

"One month." Rong Qing nodded, "I understand."

"What can I do?"

"No need. Just continue as you normally do." Rong Qing made up her mind. "You leave first."

Zhao Riyue responded softly, took an umbrella under the corridor, gradually moved away from the flower corridor in the rain and fog, and waited in the nearby yard for Rong Qing to call him.

In Rong Qing's heart, she didn't expect Zhao Riyue to be of much use. It was good enough that she could do her best to maintain Zhong Xiu's health.

The real solution...the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

"The reason why Ah Xiu is like this is due to the Hades' skills. Naturally, the Hades' skills will have to pay for this result." Rong Qing thought, "I originally wanted to solve it by asking Concubine Ji. But..."

"too slow."

"We still don't have accurate information from Concubine Ji. Cangliuzhou seems to be able to help, but how many days do we have to wait for the news from Cangliuzhou? One or two days? Or half a month or a month?"

"My reason tells me that I should trust the Sword Master and wait for news from Cangliuzhou."

"But I don't dare to gamble."

Rong Qing lowered her eyes and looked at Zhong Xiu's face exposed outside the quilt. Her skin was dry and sagging, and her complexion was weak. She was clearly in her twenties, but she looked almost like a woman in her seventies or eighties.

She didn't dare let Jia Jia come over and see Zhong Xiu and discover her mother in this state.

Zhong Xiu himself was unwilling to do so, so he agreed to let Rong Qing send Jia Jia to study to avoid meeting her.

The closer it got to the final moment, the less Rong Qing dared to gamble. When it came to Zhong Xiu, Rong Qing was even more afraid to gamble.
