A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 84 A Huge Surprise!!
After everything calmed down, Li Weizhou still looked a little dazed.

This must be what they call a miraculous encounter with the gods, right?
He touched his brow, tried calling out to someone in his mind a few times, and shook his head, but there was no response...

Hey, what's going on? I haven't even figured out how to practice martial arts yet, and one after another, I'm getting these immortal opportunities...

Li Weizhou looked troubled, though he couldn't quite suppress the corners of his mouth...

However, there were also reasons for his distress, as each one of them would disappear from his mind and never be seen again.

Bloody Eyes is alright; I feel like we can still keep in touch occasionally.

What's the deal with this mirror?
After trying for a long time and even calling out to Grandpa, there was still no response.

Ugh, this is such a headache.

But Li Weizhou also felt that this must be an extraordinary good thing, after all, it could make the Blood Eye automatically vomit blood...

Without thinking any further, he took out the miniature camera that was hidden in the dog-skin hat, and his thoughts returned to that place.

……

It was still late at night on Earth. Li Weizhou connected the camera to the computer and exported the video.

Because of the different time and space, GIS (Geographic Information System) and GPS technologies cannot be used. The only option is to rely on photogrammetry principles, utilizing multiple photographs with a certain degree of overlap to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of objects. Feature extraction and matching are performed on the photographs, and then, based on triangulation principles, the spatial coordinates of each point in the photographs are calculated…

Photos of streets and alleys can be used to create 3D models, which can then be imported into drones...

After finishing all that, I looked at the time and it was almost dawn.

Li Weizhou was about to go out for some fresh air when suddenly, his expression changed, and he instantly traveled back inside.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

Hearing a knock on the door, Li Weizhou froze.

The biggest concern before was that although the soul could travel back and forth, once it traveled there, it would be completely unaware of what was happening here, and it could only unconsciously practice the stance training.

If you really encounter an assassin, killing him is no different from slaughtering a monkey that has fainted.

There was nothing I could do. I tried many methods, such as setting an alarm clock, or having a bucket of ice water poured over my head and setting a timer to release it... but nothing worked.

How come it suddenly worked?
In an instant, Li Weizhou thought of the stone mirror.

Holy crap, is that awesome?!
However, he didn't have time to study it in detail for the time being. Hiding his surprise, he went to open the door first, otherwise the door would be broken from knocking.

"Who?"

Li Weizhou said, seemingly impatiently.

But they did indeed wait for a reply from outside before opening the door.

Li Changning's voice came in, sounding quite annoyed: "Me!!"

Li Weizhou opened the door and saw his younger brother looking angry. He laughed and said, "I'm going to take a nap inside... What's wrong?" He then nodded to his second sister, Hengha, who was standing next to him.

The two noble ladies seemed not to recognize him, staring at him intently.

Li Changning asked, "Third Brother, did you go out this morning?"

Li Weizhou nodded and reminded him, "Get to the point."

Li Changning sighed softly and said, "The one from the Prince of Jin's residence still hasn't arrived. Something might have really happened to him. There was a strange change in the celestial phenomena just now... Third Brother, I am ordered by my master to travel day and night back to the capital to deliver a message and request the arrival of the Commander of the Imperial Guards to oversee the situation. The Commander of the Imperial Guards will arrive in three days, but it will take me about ten days to travel back and forth."

During these ten days, Third Brother, you must be careful. Yuanzhi and Wanyi also have other important tasks to attend to. I have already spoken to Master about you. If there is any life-or-death crisis, go to the highest hall in the middle, give my name, and say you are looking for Lord Situ.

Remember this: don't cause trouble. We'll discuss everything when I get back.

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm eating and sleeping, I'm perfectly fine. By the way, wait a minute..."

He went back inside, pretended for a while, and then came out again, carrying three oil paper bags: "One bag for each of you. Take a bite when you're hungry. It will stave off hunger and could save your life in a critical moment. Don't be greedy and eat it all... Fourth brother, come in with me for a bit."

After Zhao Yuanzhi and Zhang Wanyi took over the oil paper bag, they opened it and found that inside, in addition to the milky white candies, there were also some black blocks that emitted an enticing aroma.

The two exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.

They were all thinking roughly the same thing: If only she weren't here, I could have had a piece…

"Third brother?"

After Li Changning followed Li Weizhou into the house, Li Weizhou took off his outer robe and then a vest made of some unknown material, and handed it to him.

Li Weizhou said, "While it can't be said to be truly invulnerable to swords and spears, and it can't defend against highly skilled opponents, it's generally impervious to the swords and spears thrust by experts."

As he spoke, he took out a small knife and stabbed it hard into the vest, but it didn't break at all.

This vest is reinforced with high-strength ceramic plates on both the front and back, making it difficult for assassins or archers to penetrate.

Li Changning's eyes widened upon seeing this, quite moved, but he immediately refused, saying, "Third Brother, you need this more than I do."

Li Weizhou stared at him and said, "I've said these big principles many times, I don't want to repeat myself. You're not a child anymore, don't be so immature."

Upon hearing this, Li Changning stared at his third brother for a moment, then took off his clothes, put on his vest, and said to Li Weizhou, "Third brother, I'm leaving. Take care!"

Li Weizhou stepped forward and hugged his proud little brother, saying, "Fourth brother, take care."

Hey, he's a real pro at parenting!
……

After leaving the house and seeing off Li Changning who was leaving in a hurry, Zhao Yuanzhi asked Zhang Wanyi seemingly casually, "Third Brother looks... a little different today, don't you think?"

Zhang Wanyi glanced at her and said indifferently, "Isn't it still him?"

After saying that, he turned and left, carrying an oil paper bag in his hand.

Zhao Yuanzhi made a face at her back and walked to the other side, but she was still a little surprised.

Although Li Weizhou looked the same person, and his words and actions hadn't changed, the feeling... was just different.

It feels so much cleaner and clearer now, especially my eyes...

Even though she still enjoys rambling on about everyday matters, the sense of worldliness and everyday life that she had before is completely gone.

it's wired……

I looked up at the sky; the strange celestial phenomenon I just witnessed was terrifying.

It's a pity that my ancestors didn't come this time, otherwise they might have been happy.

……

Zhang Wanyi walked along carrying an oil paper bag, but her thoughts were similar to Zhao Yuanzhi's.

Li Changning was too concerned about his cousin, and his concern clouded his judgment; he was too caught up in the situation to realize it.

But she and Zhao Yuanzhi both noticed something different about Li Weizhou...

It was a refreshing quality that swept away the mundane and worldly cares, which was astonishing. However, I didn't think too much about it, after all, Li Changning's cousin was indeed an extraordinary and remarkable person.

She promised to bring back the "Golden Bell Shield" manual, hoping that A Ning could do so this time. It would be really annoying if Zhao Yuanzhi delivered it first...

……

Li Weizhou was a clever man. He didn't rush back to his house. After closing the door again, he looked up at the sky and began to observe it.

The commotion just now was truly astonishing.

He didn't know if there was any commotion when the Blood Eye appeared, but he had heard the commotion clearly just now.

I have a feeling that... he's not a good person, someone that heaven and earth cannot tolerate?

If that mirror had been any slower, would it have been struck down by divine punishment...?

But after craning my neck and looking for a long time, I didn't find anything unusual. It was good that the snow had dissipated.

Li Weizhou returned to the house, but did not rush through.

He closed his eyes and began to try to sense the other side of Earth.

My mind, which should have been a complete blank, suddenly began to fill with hazy images...

The scene shows a secret room in the basement beneath the villa!

Sent!

It actually works!!

This stone mirror possesses such supernatural power that it can traverse two realms of time and space?!

He first went to the secret room and set an alarm for one minute later, then came back to continue observing...

A minute later, the faint sound of an alarm clock echoed in my mind...

Hehehe, hahahahaha!

Li Weizhou was overjoyed and wished he could dance on the spot!
However, he quickly regained his composure. With the fourth brother gone, he knew he had to be careful. Now was not the time to be reckless; he should wait and see…

After playing for a while longer, I felt much more at ease.

But I can't just play around all the time. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well just cultivate here.

He recalled the power of the lightning outside, grabbed a battery, connected the two wires to the electrodes, and touched them together. It sparked with a "crackling" sound...

I'm a complete newbie; when someone touches either end, there's no reaction at all.

I looked it up and found out that the safe voltage for the human body is 36 volts, while a storage battery is only 12 volts, so several batteries need to be connected in series.

Anyway, there's nothing to do for the time being, so I'll just connect the wires at the villa and bring them over, get them to 120 volts, pick up two wires, and stick them onto myself...

"Sizzle~~~~"

Li Weizhou felt a sharp pain, accompanied by muscle spasms...

It hurts so much it's almost unbearable!

If this body didn't have a much higher pain tolerance, it would be unbearable.

However, after Li Weizhou stimulated all sixty-four acupoints in the first three layers of the "Golden Bell Cover" technique, and then circulated his energy according to the method, he felt his entire body's flesh and blood writhing and strengthening!

This feeling is very clear and very vivid!
Li Weizhou became excited. Hard work pays off, and after all that effort, he finally found another opportunity to exploit the bug!

He closed his eyes and felt it again, and he could clearly feel that the progress of perfecting the second level of the Golden Bell Cover was much faster.

Back then, Song Shi relied on the second layer of the "Golden Bell Cover" to withstand the attacks from Ye Wangchen of the Shangqing Palace for a long time without dying, demonstrating his extremely strong defensive capabilities.

This is only the second layer; there's a third layer after that, and then three more layers after that.

Putting aside the last three levels, even if he only mastered the third level, Li Weizhou felt that even though his other martial arts skills were average and he lacked combat experience, there would be virtually no one below the seventh level who could become his opponent.

Even on the seventh level, if you're unlucky, he might find an opportunity to suddenly fire a burst of bullets at you, and you probably won't even know how you died.

If you complete the last three levels, by then your physical body might be able to withstand a grenade.

A master of self-destruction, anyone who touches him will be completely bewildered!
"Hehehehe! Again!"

Silent all night.

……

The following day, Li Weizhou went to the Green Fox King's tent again.

When he was invited into the royal tent, he looked around the Donghu people's tents with great interest.

A gilded bronze hook lifts a double-layered mink curtain adorned with gold leaf, keeping out the biting cold.

The dome is supported by six massive carved wooden beams inlaid with gold and jade, and the upper part is covered with dark-patterned gold velvet cloth, embroidered with blue fox totems outlined in gold thread.

This was probably not built temporarily; it was likely built many years ago and has been guarded by people ever since.

At the four corners of the tent stood gilded bronze animal-footed censers, their bodies engraved with ancient war myths of the Donghu people, the burning charcoal inside carrying the scent of pine and cypress.

A large gold-embroidered tapestry hangs on the east wall, depicting the magnificent scene of the Green Fox King conquering all directions. The gold-embroidered armor and banners shimmer in the light and shadow, and the edge of the tapestry is decorated with a circle of dazzling gold beads.

It has a very exotic feel.

The west wall was a screen made entirely of tiger skin, and in front of the screen was a weapon rack holding knives, bows, and arrows.

Behind the screen should be a separate room, which provides more privacy.

Thick, magnificent carpets covered the royal tent. Beautiful and silent maids dressed in bright colors stood out. On a large table that blended the styles of the Central Plains and the Eastern Barbarians, there were even fruits laid out!
"Li Weizhou, you've arrived?"

The barefoot Donghu child, Tuoba Yun, was very happy to see Li Weizhou. He waved a small curved knife and shouted loudly.

Li Weizhou asked curiously, "The one I gave you yesterday doesn't seem to be this one?"

Tuoba Yun paused for a moment upon hearing this, then pouted and said, "That one was taken by my sister... but this one is my sister's beloved scimitar, she never let me touch it before!" Then he grinned.

He was indeed a lowly prison guard.

Li Weizhou looked around and, not seeing his sister, smiled and said, "I'm giving you a little trinket today. Play with it for a couple of days before lending it to someone else."

As he spoke, he took out a gift, which was a pair of very ordinary tea-drinking ornaments.

Two brown lions, but when hot water is poured on them, they turn into golden lions.

One can only imagine how Tuoba Yun reacted upon seeing this scene...

The boy's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He stared at the lion blankly, as if his soul had left his body. After a long while, he let out a bloodcurdling roar, as if he had been bitten by the lion.
"elder sister!!!"
