I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

But when they noticed this, it seemed too late.

In a few years, the world's cultivation world will become a stagnant pool.

In other words, if a practitioner does not seize this opportunity to break through, his realm will most likely stagnate.

Moreover, the means by which practitioners obtain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become completely ineffective as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lost.

Therefore, many sect leaders who sensed this change resolutely began to look for other ways to practice, such as physical cultivation.

Some have begun to change their means of attack in order to minimize their dependence on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, these are only temporary solutions and do not address the root cause. After entering the realm of divine consciousness, practitioners' reliance on mental power is greater than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This can be regarded as a threshold to break free from the restrictions of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, no new practitioners will be able to enter the realm of divine consciousness in the future, and the power of the cultivation world will only gradually decline.

This was the same outcome that Gu Jiu and Wu Mei had envisioned, except that it happened much faster than they had imagined.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipated, the world naturally became no longer peaceful.

Even in the area south of Yinshan Mountain, strange events gradually began to occur.

Things lurking in the dark are already stirring.

It was only because of the power of the Tang court that these events were still under control.

In the past few years, a large number of Qingliu League members have entered the fourth realm of Tianyuan.

During this period, due to the occurrence of supernatural events, many members were sent out to solve the problems.

By solving the problems, they gained a new understanding of spiritual practice.

But naturally some people got injured and some died during this period, and there was nothing we could do about it.

Because of fear of death, some people quit, but more people came in.

Just like when they fought against the long-waisted giants, the young people in this world are still full of energy and are still facing it optimistically even after knowing the truth.

And those old practitioners who originally wanted to live a carefree life found that they could not move anymore because many old people in the sect had died.

It's not death from old age, but a strange death.

How can I think about this and it has something to do with those things that are ready to move?

Gu Jiu was lying on a rattan chair, seemingly asleep, but in fact, a wisp of his soul had already floated far away.

This wisp of soul resides in the Haoyu Sword and can control the flying sword to fly very far. While flying, he can also sense the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This method of controlling the sword is no longer comparable to simple telekinesis killing, but a more advanced "sword game".

This way, Gu Jiu can stay at home and travel thousands of miles away.

The Haoyu Sword was flying high in the sky at a very fast speed, leaving a light gray turbulence behind it.

Gu Jiu's soul was in the sword body. Although he could not see the specific scene around him, he could clearly feel the changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like invisible rain, floating in the air, but now this "rain" is too thin.

Sometimes, even after flying hundreds of miles, Gu Jiu still found it difficult to sense the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Haoyu Sword flew thousands of miles and arrived at the edge of the north.

At this time, the flying of the Haoyu Sword was no longer as smooth as before, because the soul was too far away from Gu Jiu's body and was somewhat out of control.

But at this time, the Haoyu Sword still insisted on flying because Gu Jiu discovered that after experiencing a large-scale lack of spiritual energy along the way, the spiritual energy here became abundant again.

This amount is naturally not as much as it was a few years ago, but compared to the previous scarcity, it is still good.

If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth five years ago was like an inexhaustible sea in Gu Jiu's perception, now it is like a sparse rain.

In the end, the Haoyu Sword turned back and came back from thousands of miles away.

Gu Jiu opened his eyes and frowned, "Southwest?"

……

……

At midnight, Xiangyun City was quiet.

Xiangyun City is a medium-sized town in the south with a population of over ten thousand. It is famous for its "cloth dyeing".

Whenever the weather is fine, the city's dyeing workshops, large and small, will dye fabrics of various colors.

These freshly dyed fabrics are hung on wooden poles. When the wind blows, they look like countless clouds floating in the air, which is very beautiful.

Due to the recent continuous rain, many dyeing factories in Xiangyun City have not started work and are not very busy, especially around midnight.

As a dyeing master in the largest local dyeing workshop, Wang Luoli's life has always been considered happy.

Although the work is hard sometimes, the compensation given by the employer is not small.

And when the weather is bad, she can stay at home with her husband and children, which is much better than the average person's life.

That night, Wang Luoli slept very soundly, as if sinking into a deep ocean.

But in her dream, she suddenly heard some sounds of metal clashing, like a blacksmith hammering iron.

Because the noise was so loud, even though Wang Luoli was sleeping very soundly, she still struggled to get up.

Beside her, her husband was sleeping soundly, obviously suffering from overwork.

After waking up, Wang Luoli found that the sound of metal and stone had disappeared and thought it was a dream.

But in the middle of the night, she woke up and felt a little thirsty, so she got up and poured herself a glass of water.

But at this moment, the clanging sound rang out again, but it was much weaker and duller than before.

Wang Luoli was a little puzzled and asked, "It's so late, who's doing what?"

Wang Luoli couldn't help but push open the wooden door of the house, trying to determine where the sound came from.

Facing the house was her yard. There was no moon tonight and the light was very dim.

Wang Luoli soon discovered that the knocking sound had disappeared again.

"Is there something wrong with my ears?" After finding that there was nothing unusual, Wang Luoli couldn't help but yawn and closed the door again.

However, the sleepy Wang Luoli did not notice that the city at the foot of the mountain where he was was slowly being swallowed by the thick night fog.

There has never been such heavy fog in Xiangyun City.

Chapter 2 Statue (Part )

Wang Luoli lay back on the bed and fell into a hazy sleep.

But not long after she fell asleep, the clanging sound rang in her ears again.

This time, Wang Luoli naturally thought that she was just dreaming again.

As a cloth dyer, why do I always dream of blacksmithing?

She couldn't help but turn over and soon felt a warm touch on her body, as if she was covered with some liquid.

At this moment, Wang Luoli felt something was wrong, because both the warm touch and the sound of metal colliding were too real and did not seem like a dream at all.

So, Wang Luoli suddenly opened her eyes, and her face was instantly filled with fear.

In the dimly lit room, Wang Luoli's husband's head was flattened, like a rough-looking bowl.

And that warm liquid was the blood oozing from the other person's head.

clang! clang!

The knocking sound became clearer and duller at this time. Wang Liluo was sure that the sound was right next to her, right in front of her!

Because the head and body of her husband on the bed kept sinking, it was as if there was an invisible hammer hitting her husband hard.

It wasn't until one of her husband's eyes flew out due to the sunken head and landed on him that Wang Luoli let out a piercing scream and rolled to the ground...

This night is destined to be extraordinary.

To the west of Xiangyun Town, two female officers were patrolling, yawning.

As the New Year was approaching, there were more thieves in the city, so the government had to increase night patrols.

The two female officials were naturally a little annoyed about this job. After drinking some wine to warm themselves up, they began to patrol at night with lanterns.

At this time, the tall officer on the left couldn't help but say, "Hey, Lao Tian, ​​why is the fog so thick tonight?"

The officer on the right waved the orange lantern in his hand, looked at the thick fog in front of him that looked like gauze, and said doubtfully, "Maybe it came from the mountains."

"But it's not usually foggy in our Xiangshan." The tall officer couldn't help but retort.

"Don't worry about it, just finish your patrol and go back. You don't have a man, but my man at home is still waiting for me in bed."

"Lao Tian, ​​I really want to burn you with this fire." As she said this, the tall female official on the left couldn't help but raise the lantern in her hand.

The light from the lanterns shone on the faces of the two people, looking a little eerie in the dark night filled with thick fog.

The tall female officer on the left couldn't help but shut up after making a joke because she found the lantern light shining on the other person's face a little scary.

Yes, it's a little scary, even a little bit inhuman.

When this thought came to her mind, even the tall female official was shocked.

She and Lao Tian are old colleagues and are very familiar with each other, but for some reason, she feels that the other party is a little strange at this time.

The two people who were originally noisy soon fell into silence, and this silence made the tall female official even more nervous. She didn't even dare to look at her companion.

At this moment, a clanging sound suddenly came from the front.

The tall female officer couldn't help but ask, "Why is there still someone working on iron so late at night?"

The officer named "Lao Tian" was silent for a while, then said, "Maybe he's in a hurry to get work done."

"But there shouldn't be a blacksmith shop nearby." The tall female official couldn't help but look around, and found that maybe it was because of the thick fog or something else, she found that the streets that she was very familiar with had become unfamiliar at this time.

The two did not stop, so they were getting closer and closer to the clanging sound.

The orange-red light of the lanterns could not reach far in the thick fog. From a distance, it looked like the eyes of a ghost.

The clanging sound came from the corner of the street, so at this time, the two officers couldn't help but slow down their pace.

When their eardrums were numb from the clanging sound, they could see clearly that it was a woman with disheveled hair holding a hammer and hitting something.

There were no furnaces or bellows around, it wasn't a smithy at all.

But at midnight, there was someone working on the iron, and no sparks were produced when he struck the iron, which looked very strange.

The tall officer touched the sword at his waist, feeling a little nervous.

There's something wrong with his appearance; he's probably crazy.

At this time, Lao Tian had already walked over and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

The thudding sound stopped at this moment. With the help of the lantern light, the two officers discovered that the blacksmith was actually very beautiful.

But seeing a woman in a white dress and hammering non-stop in the middle of the night is a bit scary no matter how pretty it is.

The woman looked at the two officers and replied, "I am making a statue for my husband."

"Statue?" the tall officer asked doubtfully.

At this time, the woman couldn't help but step back a little.

The tall female official shone the lantern forward and was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.

All I saw was a "person" on the stage.

A man made of cast iron.

The woman said they were making a statue, and there was indeed an iron statue here, but the tall officer felt that they were not making a statue, but were smashing it.

Because there are many holes on the body of this iron statue, its face is completely destroyed and it no longer looks like a human being.

In the light of the lantern, the tall female official even felt that the iron man had an expression, and his sunken face seemed to be asking her for help.

At this time, the woman picked up the hammer and smashed it down again.

At this moment, the tall female official felt that the iron statue seemed to let out a scream.

The tall female officer suppressed her fear and said, "What's the point of working so hard at night? Go back to sleep and don't worry about disturbing others' rest."

The woman glanced at the officer, who was so frightened that he almost drew his knife.

In fact, according to convention, they should carefully check each other's identity.

But the tall female officer was just scared, so she just wanted the other party to leave quickly.
