Chapter 2666 Choice
The recollection is also vague, and tears wet my clothes.
The dead will never be resurrected, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lan Caijie looked at the carved words on the rock, trying to recall the eldest lady's voice, appearance and smile, but it seemed a little blurry and she couldn't see clearly.
The memory seemed to be from yesterday, but it also seemed like a long, long time had passed, causing her to be a little confused about many of the memories.
Finally, she woke up from her crying, and then she knelt down in front of the rock and kowtowed. She knew that after this, she might not have the chance to come back here to see the young lady.
But the person was already a skeleton, and she herself had already become a spirit, so what else could she not let go of? So, this time, she would say goodbye forever. Farewell to the eldest daughter, to her sister, and even to her past.
"She has been here alone for a thousand years. Is she lonely?" It seemed as if she was asking Chen Mo, or perhaps asking herself. Anyway, Chen Mo did not answer and just sat there in silence.
Lan Caijie did not wait for his answer, but continued: "Perhaps, the eldest lady has already been reincarnated. After all, she is beautiful and kind-hearted, and has contributed so much to the court. She will be treated well wherever she goes."
Chen Mo still didn't speak. It was not the right time to interrupt. After all, he was not Yama, nor did he manage the dead. He also didn't have the ability of a monkey to go to the underworld to get information.
For a moment, the scene fell silent again. The sky had gradually darkened, with only the sound of wind and insects. As for animals, none of them came near this place.
The moon gradually rose, and its light spread across the entire oasis. Because it was a full moon, the entire oasis was clearly visible.
Of course, if an ordinary person were here and saw Lan Caijie, they would be scared to death. Because she looked like a ghost, standing there crying silently. And next to her, there was a man sitting there, but he didn't make any sound. How could it not be scary?
However, in this oasis, apart from the dead thieves, Chen Mo was the only living person, so naturally he would not attract any attention.
……
After a night, Lan Caijie finally regained some of her composure and stopped reminiscing about other things. Looking at the sky gradually turning pale, she slowly said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" said Chen Mo.
"I thought that after someone like you controlled my life and death, you would definitely imprison me and then directly sacrifice me to turn me into a weapon spirit. I didn't expect that I could come here again and fulfill my wish. Thank you so much, my master!" Lan Caijie smiled, and her face seemed to be glowing.
Chen Mo also smiled slightly, and then replied: "It's nothing, after all, it's on the way. Besides, if I want to refine a good magic weapon in the future, I still need to rely on you to realize it. It's just a mutual benefit."
"Although that's what they say, how many people can really do that?" Lan Caijie said.
Although she was still an ignorant girl when she followed the eldest lady more than a thousand years ago, as she cultivated successfully, she gained the ruling power of Xiye Ancient City through means, and then went on expeditions everywhere, and sent people into the underground city to build underground. All of this completely eliminated her innocence, and all that was left was vicissitudes.
Therefore, although Chen Mo said this, she could feel that he was not a bad person in his heart.
Of course, there was no need to continue this topic. No matter what was said, the result was already determined. Lan Caijie was the spirit in Chen Mo's hand, so naturally everything was based on Chen Mo's will.
Looking at the morning glow in the distance and the sun that was about to rise, Lan Caijie turned around and slowly saluted Chen Mo, then flashed back into the soul jar. Her spirit body was already on the verge of collapse, and her spirit body was in danger. If it was exposed to the sun, her soul might be shattered.
In fact, Chen Mo did not take the initiative to remind her, nor did he put it back into the soul jar. He also wanted to let Lan Caijie make her own choice.
Although he wanted to have a spirit, he did not want to tie it to an artifact. You have to know that once the spirit becomes an artifact spirit, it will be combined with the artifact. If the artifact exists, it will live, and if the artifact is destroyed, it will collapse. Once the spirit collapses, it can only dissipate between heaven and earth and become an energy supplement between heaven and earth.
Therefore, although Chen Mo accepted it as a spirit body, he was still unwilling to force Lan Caijie to become an instrument spirit.
Of course, as Lan Caijie, who had lived for more than a thousand years, understood what Chen Mo meant when he released her from the soul jar and did not take her back, and did not urge her until dawn.
That's why Lan Caijie said those words and then returned to the soul jar, indicating that everything was what she wanted.
After all, although the weapon spirit cannot leave the weapon, it can survive. Moreover, maybe in the future, there will be some opportunity to cultivate and leave the weapon again. Of course, the probability of this happening is very small, very small.
Chen Mo used his spiritual sense to send the soul jar to his hand, and then put it into the Qiankun bag. He was also a little happy in his heart. He finally had a better weapon spirit object. He would refine a magic weapon for himself in the future.
Originally, before he met Lan Caijie, he wanted to train the ghosts into spirits. However, due to the evil spirit, the ghosts needed to spend a lot of money to transform into spirits.
After all, although both Zimu A Piao and Lan Caijie's spirit are A Piao, they are still different in nature. Zimu A Piao is full of resentment and evil spirits from top to bottom, inside and out. Only ghost cultivators and demon cultivators like this. It is said that the magic tools refined by it will definitely become ghost tools.
What Chen Mo wants is a magic weapon, so naturally he cannot use a spirit like the mother and child ghost.
However, Lan Caijie is different. She does not have any evil power or ghostly aura. Instead, she is a spirit body composed of spiritual power. This makes her extremely suitable to be a weapon spirit. As long as a magic weapon is refined, she can be sacrificed to become a weapon spirit.
Watching the sun rise instantly, the whole oasis seemed to come alive. Many animals came from afar to drink water, and the scene was peaceful.
Chen Mo then looked at the rock and the two words "Xi Ye" carved on it. In the end, he said nothing, but took out a set of compound formation base from his Qiankun bag. It had the effects of gathering spirits and solidifying. Under the stimulation of true essence, the formation bases lit up one by one and then drove into the ground, turning the rock and the surrounding oasis into a spirit gathering formation.
In the future, this place will gradually become full of vitality due to the effect of the spirit gathering array, and the soil here will become much stronger. Without strong destruction, this place will not change.
He collected a spirit, which could be regarded as a cause and effect. As the sun rose, Chen Mo did not leave, but faced the rising sun and practiced his skills.
Of course, he was not afraid of being disturbed, because before practicing, he took out the formation plate and started it directly, so that no animals would come close and disturb his practice.
I haven't practiced properly for many days. Now that the sun is rising, I naturally have to practice properly.
As Chen Mo's skills were put into practice, he completed a cycle successfully with one breath.
"Hoo!" He exhaled a long breath, which was like a white refining gas that gushed out far away. His body felt comfortable from the inside out. The strength of the fifth level of foundation building took another step forward and entered the late stage of the fifth level of foundation building.
Originally, he had estimated that even if he practiced diligently every day, his realm would not improve so quickly. It would take at least one to one and a half years to reach the late fifth level.
But he didn't expect that after just being the sixth for a while and gaining some experience, he would enter the late fifth level of foundation building. It seems that cultivation requires not only hard work, but also circumstances.
Meeting Lan Caijie was Chen Mo's situation.
He wanted Lan Caijie to choose for herself before, which was a breakthrough in his state of mind. After encountering a spirit, ordinary cultivators would never let it choose voluntarily like he did. Therefore, this was Chen Mo's improvement in his state of mind, and it also allowed him to leap from the early stage of the fifth level of the foundation-building period to the late stage.
He jumped up from the stone under him and immediately performed a set of Chen style boxing.
The energy scattered in all directions and the wind moved with his body. If Chen Mo had not restrained his strength, this oasis would have been destroyed by him.
After the fight, I retracted my strength and felt refreshed all over.
"Hahaha!" After a burst of laughter, he turned around and left.
Of the thieves that Chen Mo had sent to the grave yesterday, only some guns, a few rags, and some long-dried bloodstains were left. Of course, there were also a few cars with their doors open and no one in charge.
After taking a glance, Chen Mo no longer cared about it. He took out the SUV from his Qiankun bag and stepped on the accelerator to drive towards the east.
I took out the GPS, checked my location, and decided on a direction.
His current location was not far from West Kunlun. Further northwest was the Ouyang Family's residence.
If you go home, you can just take a detour and visit Ouyang Ruoxi on the way.
He was very concerned about Shen Tingting and Ouyang Ruoxi. Although this thought was a bit stupid, he was capable and unwilling to let go of either of them!
Chen Mo drove away from here in a cool and carefree manner. However, Zhou Ke and others in the underground cave hall looked exhausted.
After a lot of effort, they finally walked out of the underground cave and returned to the cave hall.
When returning to the cave hall, they left many marks along the way and searched along the way. In the end, there were only nine warriors gathered together.
Zhou Ke and his nephew were lucky. They both survived, as did Zhou Mei and several other warriors of the Zhou family. Except for these nine people, there was no news of the others.
After returning to the cave hall, while trying to find a way to leave here, he collected some supplies and waited for a few days, hoping that other warriors would crawl out of the cave.
Unfortunately, the entire cave hall was tossed back and forth twice by the Thunder Sword, so there was nothing left on the ground and it was almost a ruin.
All the food and water for the nine people only lasted for three days.
Fortunately, they are all warriors and can last much longer than ordinary people without food or water.
Therefore, they were not too anxious to find a way out.
Finally, after several people discussed it, they all agreed that the door inside the collapsed passage might be the place to leave.
As for the collapsed debris blocking the passage, there is no good way to deal with it, just clean it up directly.
They are all warriors with strong physical fitness, so they can clean up much faster than ordinary people.
However, even so, it took these people two days to completely clear the inside of the collapsed passage.
Fortunately, the passage was not very long, and Chen Mo did not place many fire explosion talismans at that time, so the collapsed part was not very long. So it only took the nine of them two days to clear the passage.
During this period, they also found some supplies in the cave, which increased their water and food supplies for two days.
As for the other members of the Zhou family, they never showed up, and there were still only nine of them.
