Chapter 7000 [The Secret of the Stone] ( words)
Lu Sisi did win the prize.

After her roommates gathered around, Lu Sisi blushed and looked a little stunned.

I looked at the pattern on the lottery ticket again and again, and after checking, I confirmed: the prize was indeed two thousand yuan.

Two thousand yuan, it's not a big prize. This amount is not a lot of money for ordinary people, but for students, it can really be considered a small windfall.

The most important thing is the luck! I spent thirty dollars and won two thousand!

The roommates helped Lu Sisi to find the lottery shop owner to claim the prize with a smile. After checking the lottery ticket, the owner was very kind and helped Lu Sisi to claim the prize. Soon, the 2,000 yuan prize was deposited into Lu Sisi's WeChat account, and the lottery ticket was given to the owner.

When she came out of the lottery shop, Lu Sisi was still in a daze, as if she was in a dream.

This kind of thing has never happened to Lu Sisi, who is so unlucky that she is 18 years old!

Even at the end of last year, when Chen Yan changed his luck and resolved his bad luck, his luck was still within the normal range: neither bad nor too lucky.

This sudden good luck caught Lu Sisi off guard!
Naturally and subconsciously, Lu Sisi recalled all the strange things that had happened in the past half day from this morning till now.

I was originally an unknown person, but today three boys came up to me and asked to add me on WeChat.

I went to a popular milk tea shop and originally had to wait in line for a long time. But when I met Xiao Zhao, not only did I not have to queue, but I even got free milk tea.

Just for the sake of showing support, I casually spent thirty dollars on a lottery ticket and won two thousand!

Isn't today's luck a bit too good?
Although they are not big things.

However, for ordinary people, it is very rare to encounter one of these three things in a day.

I've only been here half a day and I've already encountered three of them!
Lu Sisi's thoughts were a little confused, and after her roommates laughed enviously for a while, they just started to urge Lu Sisi to treat them - they didn't ask Lu Sisi to treat them to anything expensive, just to go to a small hot pot restaurant on the street behind the school door in the evening.

Lu Sisi has never been a stingy person, and she agreed without hesitation.

Most of the restaurants near the university town are relatively affordable.

The small hot pot restaurant that my roommates mentioned is not expensive: all the girls in the dormitory go there, and a meal normally costs only about one or two hundred yuan.

My roommates all seem to be normal and nice people. None of them are malicious, jealous, or weird people who want to take advantage of any opportunity to take advantage of me.

But Lu Sisi still looked absent-minded along the way.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Sisi sent a message to Chen Yan on WeChat, telling him about what happened today.

"...I won a 2,000 yuan prize. Is...is there something wrong with my luck?"

After sending a long text, Lu Sisi waited for a while. There was no reply from Chen Yan, probably because he was not looking at his phone.

However, before Lu Sisi put down her phone, a message came on WeChat, and the sender was actually Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi: "Do you have time?"

Lu Sisi immediately replied with a smile: "Double queue? Sister Qingyi, wait for me to log in!"

Gu Qingyi immediately replied: "I'm not playing games, I have something to talk to you about."

Lu Sisi was stunned and sent a message: "Now? I'm free. Sister Qingyi, do you want to tell me something?"

A few seconds later, Gu Qingyi sent a message.

"You know there's an extreme internet cafe near the university town, right?"

"know."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the intersection outside the internet cafe."

Lu Sisi was full of doubts, but after all, she and Gu Qingyi had formed some friendship during the Spring Festival - the two girls stayed up late to play duo-queuing, so they had a pretty good relationship.

"Okay! I'll be there now."

·
Lu Sisi actually had classes in the afternoon, but faced with Gu Qingyi's invitation, the girl skipped class without hesitation.

Afraid that Gu Qingyi would wait for her for a long time, Lu Sisi walked and ran all the way. She came out from the side door of the school, walked another street and rounded an intersection, and soon saw Gu Qingyi standing at the intersection.

Gu Qingyi was leaning against a street lamp, biting an ice cream in her right hand and holding an untorn wrapper in her left hand.

Seeing Lu Sisi coming over, Gu Qingyi immediately came forward and handed over the ice cream in his left hand with a smile.

"Eat?"

"Uh, okay."

Actually, Lu Sisi didn’t like eating ice cream very much, but she had a kind personality. This sister in green was her friend and also an elder of Chen Yan’s family. Lu Sisi didn’t want to refuse someone’s kindness, so she took it without hesitation and tore open the wrapping paper.

"Sister Qingyi, do you have something to talk to me about?" After taking a bite of the ice cream, Lu Sisi looked at Gu Qingyi curiously.

"Well, let's find a place with fewer people to talk." Gu Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to your school? I haven't been to your school yet."

"what?"

Gu Qingyi’s words made Lu Sisi a little confused. Never been to school?
Is there anyone who hasn’t been to school yet?

Maybe... Sister Qingyi has never been to college, so she wants to say that she has never been to a university campus, right?
The girl was a talkative person, so she nodded without asking any more questions and led Gu Qingyi towards her school.

There were quite a few people on campus in the afternoon, and the two of them were walking casually on the inner roads of the campus. Lu Sisi thought about it and decided that at this time, there would be fewer people in the place... so he simply led Gu Qingyi towards the stadium and finally arrived at the stadium's stands.

At this time, there were students running laps in the playground during their physical education class, and some were playing football, but the huge stadium still looked very empty. The stands were also empty, with few people.

The two girls found an empty corner in the stands and sat down.

"Sister Qingyi, what's the matter? Why did you come to my school to find me?" Lu Sisi looked at Gu Qingyi with a smile.

She actually likes Gu Qingyi very much.

Before she turned eighteen, Lu Sisi had almost no friends. During the Spring Festival, she went back to the countryside with Chen Yan to celebrate the New Year. Because Gu Qingyi was a girl like her, they felt a natural closeness.

After spending a few days together, working together, sweeping snow together, making snowmen together, eating together, playing games together, setting off fireworks together...they really formed some friendships between the little girls.

What's more, Gu Qingyi is so beautiful!
Well, in fact, some girls are also attracted by the looks of the same sex.

Gu Qingyi had finished her ice cream, the stick gently pinched in her hand. She looked up at Lu Sisi and suddenly said, "You know Chen Yan can do magic, right?"

"Ah?" Lu Sisi was stunned: "I..."

After thinking about it seriously, she nodded seriously: "I know."

Although Chen Yan told herself not to tell anyone, but... Gu Qingyi is not an outsider, isn't she an elder in Chen Yan's family?

"I can do it too." Gu Qingyi nodded to Lu Sisi.

Lu Sisi was stunned.

Gu Qingyi sighed and showed the popsicle stick in his hand: "Watch carefully."

Gu Tianren smiled, pinched the popsicle stick with two fingers, and then slowly inserted it into the concrete slab of the stand!
Lu Sisi: ???……!!!
As the girl stared in amazement, Gu Qingyi casually inserted the popsicle stick into the concrete floor of the stands, about one-third of the way in!
Gu Qingyi withdrew his hand: "You can take a look."

Lu Sisi widened her eyes, subconsciously reached out and pinched the popsicle stick, then pulled it out with force.

But soon, the popsicle stick turned into countless sawdust in her hand!
Lu Sisi was stunned, then her eyes widened again. She felt a little excited as she looked at Gu Qingyi with a face full of surprise and a somewhat excited tone: "Sister Qingyi! So... are you as good as Chen Yan?"

Just as powerful?
Gu Qingyi rolled her eyes and curled her lips, saying, "Even if you tied a hundred Chen Yans together, they wouldn't be enough for me to beat with one hand."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyi grabbed Lu Sisi's hand and brushed off the sawdust on her palm.

"This is a kind of magic." Gu Qingyi said calmly: "I show you this so that you can believe what I am going to say to you today."

Lu Sisi felt a little strange: "Sister Qingyi, what do you want to say to me?"

For a moment, the girl's mind flew to somewhere unknown, and many strange ideas suddenly emerged in her mind.

Could it be... some kind of drama?

Could it be that… Sister Qingyi was going to tell me something about Chen Yan being the heir to some immortal cultivation family, and then asking me to leave Chen Yan? Would she write me a check for millions?
But, Gu Qingyi is not the kind of person who would break up a couple in love. I had always gotten along well with her before.

"Chen Yan's magic, you can think of it as the kind of immortal cultivation novels you usually read, similar to that kind of existence. Moreover, although he is not as good as me, his cultivation is pretty good and he has good talent. So, he will become even more powerful in the future." Gu Qingyi looked into Lu Sisi's eyes and said slowly: "So..."

Lu Sisi was shocked!
Is this really a drama to force me to break up?
"Sister Qingyi, you...you want me to leave Chen Yan and not delay his practice?" Lu Sisi's face turned pale.

"...What are you talking about!" Gu Qingyi glanced at Lu Sisi: "Don't let your imagination run wild."

After a dry cough, Gu Qingyi slowly said, "Have you read novels about cultivating immortals? Do you know what the biggest characteristic of a cultivator is compared to ordinary people?"

"Uh... practitioners are more powerful than ordinary people?" Lu Sisi answered tentatively.

"..." Gu Qingyi shook his head, his tone very calm: "It's life span."

Lu Sisi's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Qingyi whispered, "I won't go into detail about the specific realms of cultivation for now. However, with Chen Yan's cultivation level, his future progress will not be bad... His lifespan, under normal circumstances, can probably reach three to four hundred years, at least."

Lu Sisi's expression suddenly changed!
Three or four hundred years?

Wouldn’t that make you a monster?

Oh, no, it’s an immortal?
"Have you thought about the seriousness of this matter?" Gu Qingyi looked into Lu Sisi's eyes.

Lu Sisi was a little at a loss, but after all, she was a modern girl who had been influenced by countless novels and film and television dramas, so she reacted quickly.

The girl asked cautiously, "Will people... think of me as a monster?"

"Yeah. That's one of them." Gu Qingyi nodded: "It's impossible for a normal person to live for three or four hundred years. So if Chen Yan lives that long, in this world, in this society, he must carefully hide himself. Once his secret is exposed, he will be regarded as a monster.

If you don't want to expose yourself, you must live cautiously, keep your social relationships as simple as possible, have less contact with people, and not maintain long-term contact with anyone.

Because, if everyone else is getting older day by day and year by year, but you are immortal and your appearance remains unchanged, wouldn't that be too conspicuous? "

Lu Sisi nodded subconsciously - she had seen similar scenes in similar movies and TV shows.

She remembered watching an American TV series in which there was an immortal person who had to move to a new place every few decades to start his life anew where no one knew him.

Gu Qingyi continued, "...but no matter how secretive it is, this secret may be hidden from outsiders, but it is difficult to hide it from the people closest to you. And if nothing unexpected happens, the person closest to Chen Yan in the future should be you, Lu Sisi."

Lu Sisi tried hard to understand what Gu Qingyi said and frowned, "Sister Qingyi, are you trying to tell me that I have to help Chen Yan keep his secret from now on?" The girl took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped! I've never told anyone about Chen Yan's affairs. From now on, when I'm with him, I will keep it a secret and will never leak it out! I will never let anyone think that Chen Yan is a monster!"

Gu Qingyi nodded, then shook her head again: "I'm very happy with what you said. These words all show your feelings for Chen Yan - but these are not what I want to express to you."

"Ah?" Lu Sisi was stunned.

"When you're with Chen Yan in the future, how will you keep him a secret? Even if you want to be with him for a long time, you'll have to endure many changes in your life... I shouldn't tell you these things. When you're with Chen Yan, he'll naturally tell you these things in the future."

Gu Qingyi's tone became serious as he spoke: "What I want to talk to you about today is another matter - this matter concerns you!"

"...What is it?"

Gu Qingyi stared into Lu Sisi's eyes and said calmly, "As an ordinary person, you won't live to be three or four hundred years old."

Lu Sisi was stunned.

"You are very beautiful, and beautiful girls, as long as they take good care of themselves, may age slower than others.

But no matter what, you are just an ordinary person. Your appearance may last for ten or twenty years... but what about after that?

When you’re in your forties, fifties, sixties…

Your face is no longer delicate, your skin is no longer fine, and your hair is no longer black.

One day, you become an old man, but Chen Yan... he still looks like a young boy.

Have you ever thought about how you would get along at that time?"

Lu Sisi's hands trembled, and her pretty face turned pale instantly!

After a few decades, my face will be covered with wrinkles, age spots, gray hair, and trembling...

And Chen Yan still looks like he is in the prime of his youth...

At that time, would it be possible for me and him to fall in love with each other and snuggle up sweetly together?

Now I am young and lovely. When I stand with Chen Yan, everyone will say that they are a perfect match!
But what about when you are thirty years old?

When I, who am thirty years old, stand next to Chen Yan, who still looks twenty years old, others probably think it is a relationship between an older woman and a younger man!
I'm forty years old. If I stand next to Chen Yan, will others think I'm his mother?

What about fifty? What about sixty? What about seventy?
Who do others think he is?

She knew very well that if it were that scene... even if Chen Yan's feelings for her remained unchanged, she would never be able to endure such a cruel scene! !

Lu Sisi's face became paler and paler, not only her fingers were trembling, but even her eyelashes were trembling.

She lowered her head as if thinking about something. After a long while, Lu Sisi raised her head and said slowly: "If that day really comes, I will leave Chen Yan on my own! I...even if I can only stay with him for ten or twenty years, I am willing. When I am old, I will leave him on my own!"

The girl said this and thought so in her heart!

Anyway... I lived a precarious life before I was eighteen. If I hadn't met Chen Yan, I wouldn't have lived for a few more years given my bad luck.

Now that I have met Chen Yan, I can just consider it as...giving him the best years of my youth, which is also good.

Gu Qingyi looked carefully at the expression and eyes on Lu Sisi's face, taking in every change, and then slowly, she finally nodded.

"Well, I'm now convinced that your feelings for Chen Yan are truly good and genuine." Gu Qingyi said slowly, "That's why I came to you today to tell you all this. Actually... there is a way to save you from running away heartbroken after only being with him for a short time, over ten or twenty years."

"Ok?"

Gu Qingyi exhaled: "Are you... willing to practice?"

Lu Sisi's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her head and glared at Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi smiled gently: "From today on, I will teach you how to practice, are you willing?"

·
Chen Yan sat in the room. The large guest room was quiet, and he sat cross-legged on the floor. In front of him lay the fist-sized black stone.

Chen Yan had carefully examined this black stone and found that it contained very rich vital energy - and this vital energy was very pure and did not seem to have any special properties.

This discovery surprised Chen Yan a little.

There are indeed some rare treasures between heaven and earth that contain vital energy.

But firstly, the vital energy contained in those natural treasures would not be so rich and abundant—the quantity would not be so sufficient.

Secondly, the vital energy contained in any treasure from heaven and earth will have certain properties due to the texture of the treasure itself, the environment in which it grows, etc.

That is to say, the five elements commonly known as gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

But the vital energy in this black stone seemed to have lost its attributes, and it was the purest vital energy - as if someone had extracted the vital energy between heaven and earth, processed it in a special way, and finally poured it into this black stone.

Moreover, the texture of this black stone is worthy of deep thought as it can hold such a large amount of vital energy.

There is only one thing Chen Yan has encountered so far that is made of this material and can hold such a large amount of vital energy: that ring.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan took out the ring from his arms... The ring had just been held in his hand, and before Chen Yan put it down, suddenly, Chen Yan's face changed!
A ball of rich energy suddenly burst out from the black stone on the ground and suddenly surged out from the stone!

Then, as if attracted by some force, they all rushed towards the ring in Chen Yan's hand!
There seemed to be some kind of strange attraction on the ring, which pulled the black stone, drew out the vitality from it, and continuously absorbed it into the ring!

Chen Yan was startled at first, but soon calmed down. After a quick assessment in his mind, he did not make any attempt to stop it - in fact, he did not know how to stop it.

Instead, he gently put the ring on the ground, then took two steps back and observed carefully.

As more and more vital energy was extracted from the black stone, Chen Yan was surprised to see that the color of the black stone actually faded!

From dark black to light black, and then gradually to gray-black...

After a few minutes, the color of the black stone became lighter and lighter, and finally turned almost into a light grayish white, and it seemed to be somewhat translucent!
In the end, when the last bit of energy on the stone was extracted and absorbed by the ring...

The stone that was originally as black as ink has turned into a translucent white color!
Chen Yan approached carefully and injected a trace of vitality into it first.

The color of the stone was like a drop of ink mixed in milk, but it soon gave off a trace of vitality, surged into the air, and was absorbed by the ring again.

Damn it?

Chen Yan was a little confused. He thought about it carefully, then picked up the ring and looked at it carefully.

The ring is still emerald green in color, and it looks like nothing has changed at all.

He even tried to inject a bit of vitality into the ring, but the ring remained the same as usual, as if it was a bottomless pit, absorbing all the energy.

I just don't know what function this ring activated just now that it actually sucked away all the vitality of the stone?
(Hmm… luckily it only sucked the stone’s energy, not me… otherwise, wouldn’t I have been sucked dry by it?)

Chen Yan's heart was pounding.

The stone is still hard and feels cold to the touch.

But after Chen Yan observed it carefully, especially the outline of the stone, he rubbed it carefully with his hands for a while.

Chen Yan made a guess:
This stone doesn't seem to have grown naturally into its current shape.

Judging from the fracture... it looks like a piece knocked off from something bigger!
Could it be some broken fragment of a magic weapon? Chen Yan frowned and thought for a while.

But after the vitality was sucked away, the stone seemed to have completely lost its life and turned into a truly dead object.

He stared at the stone for a few seconds, and suddenly his mind moved. There seemed to be some faint traces on the stone.

Chen Yan picked up the stone that had turned white and translucent in his hand and found an angle to look at it.

It was not visible when the stone was pure black, but now it has turned white and translucent, and the reflection of light can be seen.

There were several strange lines on the stone. Chen Yan carefully identified them for a while. Although he could not recognize the pattern of the lines, he could roughly determine that it was a rune!
However, it is only half a broken and incomplete rune!
This rune is not any of the runes that Chen Yan has learned.

It looks like a broken treble clef, and a little bit like the word "turtle" in Chinese characters.

The surface of the stone feels smooth and flat. This half character is not engraved on the surface of the stone, but seems to have been engraved into the stone by some unknown method!
It was originally invisible when the stone was pure black, but now it has turned white with a little transparency, and it is visible.

Chen Yan put away the stone and the ring. Then he picked up a pen and paper at the table in the room and began to draw the talisman on the paper.

This half rune was incomplete. Although Chen Yan did not recognize it, he picked out some runes that he knew from the runes he had learned. They were slightly similar to this half rune in terms of shape and outline. He wrote them out one by one and then compared them one by one.

Try to use runes with similar shapes and follow the outline to complete this half rune.

He was so immersed in the process of "filling in the words" that he didn't realize how long he had been writing. It was not until the sky outside the window gradually darkened and the light in the room dimmed that Chen Yan put down the pen.

After trying for so long, he had figured out more than a dozen ways to complete the incomplete rune. He used the method of filling in the outlines, picking and choosing, and finally only eight runes were left.

These eight runes were patched out according to feeling and outline.

There is a high probability that all eight characters are wrong.

But since Chen Yan has nothing to do, he might as well give it a try.

He took out eight more pieces of talisman paper, dipped a foxtail brush in cinnabar, and wrote word by word on the talisman paper.

After writing the first word, I felt a chill and no reaction.

The second word is no response.

The third……

the fourth……

When he wrote the seventh character, Chen Yan actually no longer had any hope - he knew very well that relying on his own method to try to complete an unknown character was simply a matter of luck.

After writing the seventh word, Chen Yan picked up the talisman paper, injected his vitality into it, and shook it casually!
Suddenly, Chen Yan, who was originally sitting on the chair in front of the table, disappeared!

The foxtail pen he was holding also fell onto the table, rolled a few times, and slid onto the floor...

And in the room, it was quiet and empty, with not a single person in sight! !

Just at the door of the room, a mirror is embedded in the room.

And in the mirror, suddenly, half of Chen Yan's body appeared from the reflection.

He still existed in the world in the mirror, but his face was full of shock!

Chen Yan in the mirror opened his mouth, and silently uttered two words:
Holy shit! !
