Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou looked at Tantai Mingyue in confusion, wondering what was going on again.

Tantai Mingyue took a deep look at Li Ergou and said, "I really didn't expect that the things you choose are so strange. Oh well, if you like it, that's good."

Li Ergou was bewildered by her words and curiously asked, "Could it be that there's something special about this stone tablet?"

Tantai Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. This tablet is an extremely Yin object. If you keep it with you, be careful. This thing devours its master. Anyway, its previous owners all died inexplicably."

Okay, Li Ergou understood. There wasn't a single normal thing here. To be honest, he was starting to suspect that Tantai Mingyue was deliberately trying to scare him, since there weren't many treasures left here anyway.

Every item taken meant one less. What if he gave up? Then they would profit.

Li Ergou's temper flared up. He thought, so what if it's evil? Is there anything normal here? He refused to believe it today.

Who was he? He was Li Ergou! He possessed so many strange things. Even if it was evil, it couldn't be more evil than him. If he got anxious, he would just take out the golden Buddha to suppress it and see what it could do.

With that thought in mind, he said firmly, "To be honest, Senior, I just like this kind of Yin and evil thing. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Tantai Mingyue hesitated, but finally said, "Alright, take it. We'll leave now."

Li Ergou took out the stone tablet. It wasn't convenient to refine it here, so he could only put it into the bronze mirror first and take it out later to slowly refine and use.

Exiting the armory, he felt delighted, feeling that he had gained a lot.

In the following days, Li Ergou and everyone gathered together, sharing their respective experiences, and they were all surprised.

Bai Su was leaving. She specifically sought out Li Ergou. That day, perhaps Li Ergou belonged only to Bai Su. They talked a lot, from acquaintance to understanding.

In the end, Bai Su told Li Ergou that they would always be the best of friends. Although reluctant, Bai Su still had to leave. That was the only time Li Ergou hugged her.

A few days later, the rankings of the World's First Martial Arts Tournament were finally released. Because Li Ergou went to the North Sea, his journey was the longest, and he deservedly became the first place winner of this Martial Arts Tournament.

The rest of the people were ranked as follows: Huang Batian, Li Muzhen, Si Ning, Shitou, Murong Shijiu, Lu Changsheng, Jian Wuchen, Yue Linglong, Xuan Longzi.

The top ten were well-deserved. In fact, the most amazing thing was Huang Batian, who was an unexpected rising star. From then on, for the next fifty years, with the title of World's First Martial Arts Tournament, everyone would receive the best arrangements wherever they went.

Everyone was of course overjoyed, but even the best times had to end.

Three days later, everyone began to board the ship, preparing to leave Shanhai Ju. Wang Zhan, Tantai Mingyue, and the Drunken Immortal bid farewell to everyone, undoubtedly saying words of encouragement and the like.

However, they still mentioned Li Ergou in public again, emphasizing his future status in Shanhai Ju. Some people who had selectively forgotten this now had to bring it back to mind.

Hidden Official, although it was just a nominal title, it was also an acknowledgement and recognition from Shanhai Ju. With this title protecting him, wherever he went, it would give him, or rather, give Shanhai Ju, some face.

Therefore, this title was a very powerful asset for Li Ergou.

Of course, the three Divine Officials also made one last attempt to retain everyone. After all, the task of guarding Shanhai Ju couldn't be done only by Divine Officials. Many, many more cultivators were needed.

As long as your cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you could come here to be a city guard. Golden Core stage cultivators were even more welcome. Some people were tempted, some were disdainful, and there were all kinds of reactions.

Believe it or not, some people really stayed behind after being inspired by the Divine Officials. Whether they really intended to stay and make a contribution or not, everyone would cheer for them.

Zhu Zhu came to his side and glanced at him, saying, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Li Ergou looked at her, his eyes clearly showing reluctance, but then he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that time is fleeting, and before we know it, we're on our way home.

In some more time, everyone will be separated again, and who knows when we'll meet again."

Zhu Zhu smiled at him and said, "If love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it only be in the morning and evening? Don't worry, I'll wait for you."

The sentence 'I'll wait for you' warmed Li Ergou's heart. Perhaps this was also a courage to encourage him to move forward bravely.

Half a month later, at the city gate of Baojing Prefecture, Li Ergou hugged Zhu Zhu in public. It was as if he was telling everyone that he liked Zhu Zhu.

The moment he hugged Zhu Zhu, it attracted a lot of resentful gazes. Murong Shijiu's face was especially dark, and Jian Wuchen's expression was also not very good.

Life always has separations. Li Ergou was perhaps already used to this kind of separation. This time, he didn't say much. Perhaps everything was superfluous.

He just took a deep look at Zhu Zhu, as if to forever remember her face.

Si Ning also came to bid farewell to Li Ergou, her eyes full of reluctance, but this kind of reluctance was more like that of a family member.

"Ergou Ge, take care."

Si Ning smiled at Li Ergou, and Li Ergou patted her shoulder and said, "Yeah, wait for me in Dadu. Perhaps we'll meet soon."

Si Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Looking at the Earth Mother in front of him, Li Ergou couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that everything seemed like yesterday. He also thought of the life in the martial arts gym. He had feelings for the Earth Mother.

"Aunt Wu, oh, no, I'm used to calling you that, Sister Wu, I really didn't expect that we would be separated so soon, just like back then, it's all so rushed."

Wu Qiushui nodded and said, "Yes, Ergou, I didn't expect that you, who were so weak back then, would actually achieve such extraordinary things today. Actually, you know, if your roots and bones weren't so bad back then, I really wanted to take you to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Alas, perhaps everything is fate. Thinking about it, if you had really gone with me back then, you might not have today's achievements."

Li Ergou smiled and said, "Yes, life is perhaps so strange. Perhaps everything is destined. In the future, if you have time, come and see me."

"Okay, definitely. If you have the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Dao Sect, be sure to come and see me too."

Li Ergou nodded, suddenly remembering when Wu Qiushui asked for his birth date and time. At that time, because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to tell her. Now that he had the opportunity, he casually wanted to say it.

"By the way, Sister Wu, you asked for my birth date and time back then. I found out later. Do you still want to know?"
