In the courtyard of Dragon Gate Fortress, Shi Xuejin spread out a piece of Xuan paper. It was an ordinary piece of paper, and there was nothing special about it.
Many people did not like to use Xuan paper to write calligraphy, because they did not like the fact that it could easily split the ink and make the strokes look weak. However, Shi Xuejin did not care about that, and he would not buy handmade Xuan paper like some people.
It was fine as long as it was ordinary writing.
However, his paperweight was not ordinary. It was not that the material was rare, but two pieces of brass that Nie Ting had personally made for him. Two words were engraved neatly on each of them: When the dust is gone, the light is born.
Shi Xuejin had just received this gift. It was rare for him to be in the mood to practice calligraphy today, and it was all because of the paperweight.
However, just as he mixed the ink, the door was suddenly pushed open. In this courtyard, only the Ninth Tengra dared to open the door and enter directly. Even Li Yixiao would knock on the door first.
"Do you have water to drink? Where's Nie Ting?" Lü Shu sat down beside the stone table. "Should we build an airport in Dragon Gate Fortress? After all, we have to fly for a while to come back. It's not convenient. "
"But you're taking a civil flight. We can't stop you at Dragon Gate Fortress first, and then take other passengers to the destination, right?" Shi Xuejin retorted. His mood of painting was suddenly interrupted by Lü Shu.
For some reason, Lü Shu had an indecent aura around him. When he was around, it was hard for others to stay calm.
"You just came back, and you came here. Is there something urgent?" Shi Xuejin asked.
"It's nothing urgent. I'm just here to tell you guys about the situation in the ruins," Lv Shu said.
"Well, the world hero Lü Xiaoshu's journey to the ruins is worth listening to." Shi Xuejin put down the brush happily. He even carefully covered the ink box, afraid that the ink would dry. He planned to continue writing after Lü Shu left.
Speaking of which, he and Nie Ting were also very curious about what had happened in the ruins. Why were there indigenous people there? Why were there so many terrifying creatures? What did Lü Shu obtain in the ruins?
This relic was so unusual that even Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting couldn't help but speculate.
Shi Xuejin picked up the phone and dialed: "Hello, Lü Shu is at home, come back quickly. By the way, what do you want for dinner, rice porridge with olives? Sure. "
Then, Lü Shu watched helplessly as Shi Xuejin entered the kitchen and busied himself. He did not look like a great master at all.
At this time, Lü Shu saw that a new sapling had been planted in the yard. It was a walnut tree.
Previously, in the courtyard house in Liu Hai Alley in the capital, the walnut tree had been chopped down by Nie Ting, but because Shi Xuejin had become a Great Grandmaster, it had sprouted and grown again. However, Shi Xuejin could not just uproot the tree.
Now, Shi Xuejin felt that something was missing in the yard. After thinking for a long time, he realized that it was a missing walnut tree. Thus, he planned to plant another one and wait for it to slowly grow.
Lü Shu suddenly became curious. When he placed plants in the star chart, they would grow quickly because the gray soil on the stars contained the power of the stars. What would happen if he took out the gray soil?
He took out a handful of gray soil from the star chart and sprinkled it next to the walnut tree. The walnut tree suddenly began to grow, as if it had skipped a few years!
Lü Shu recalled his previous guess. In fact, the ruins were actually the stars on Lu Shen's body, growing from small to large. Then, were the creatures in the forbidden area also deliberately raised by Lu Shen? Using the power of the stars.
However, ordinary people did not receive such good treatment. The barrier of the forbidden area was to prevent terrifying creatures from coming out to eat people, and it also prevented humans from entering the forbidden area to enjoy the nourishment of the power of the stars.
When the Heart Tribulation ended, Qusi asked Lü Shu if he wanted to let these creatures out. In fact, he had already given Lü Shu an answer.
As he was thinking, Nie Ting had already returned to the small courtyard. He glanced at Lü Shu and said, "Hello, World Hero."
"Hehe." Lü Shu responded with a fake smile.
"Recently, there have been fluctuations coming from the spatial passageway outside Dragon Gate Fortress. It might open soon," Nie Ting said. "What are your plans?"
"Plans?" Lü Shu was stunned.
"Yes." Nie Ting nodded and sat opposite Lü Shu. "I've discussed it with Shi Xuejin. Although the Tengra Earth Net can't fight with you, the two of us can help you fight."
"Wait." Lü Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In the beginning, Lü Shu said that he wanted to kill Duanmu Huangqi to avenge the soldiers who died in the Bronze Torrent. At that time, he was not sure of his own identity.
However, there was a detail in Nie Ting's words now: helping Lü Shu fight.
If it was to avenge the Bronze Torrent, Nie Ting would definitely see it as his own responsibility and not help anyone else.
Therefore, Lü Shu suddenly realized that Nie Ting was already prepared to help him kill some other people, not just Duanmu Huangqi.
Lü Shu probed, "Have you guessed anything?"
Nie Ting looked at Lü Shu. "Should I call you the Divine King or Lü Shu now?"
Lü Shu smiled. "I'm Lü Shu, not the Divine King. The past is gone, and my memories are only of Lü Shu, not the Divine King."
For some reason, Nie Ting suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he and Shi Xuejin had already guessed some things. He did not even send anyone else to the ruins this time because he knew that the ruins were probably something that Lü Shu had left for him. It would be meaningless to send anyone else.
Lü Shu was also much more relaxed. This time, he wanted to tell Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin some things because they had long been comrades who could trust each other. However, Lü Shu was still a little worried that Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin might not be able to accept it.
After all, the Ninth Tengra had suddenly turned into the Devil King that human practitioners had been wary of. This difference was still too big.
Therefore, Lü Shu was worried that if Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin knew the truth, there would eventually be some animosity between them.
Nie Ting suddenly said, "But since you say that you are Lü Shu, then you cannot shirk the responsibility of the Ninth Tengra … Remember to come back after you finish everything there."
Lü Shu was a little lost. At times like this, he felt the importance of "family". In Lü Zhou, someone wanted to wrap him up with a conspiracy, make him feel the murderous intent again and sink into sin.
He had killed too many people in his previous life. In this life, he just wanted to end everything and come back to this place to live. Someone wanted Lü Shu to return to the chessboard. Regardless of whether he was a player or a chess piece, the other party hoped that he would return there.
However, as Lü Shu had said, his fate would never be decided by others.
Lü Shu stood up and picked up the brush that Shi Xuejin had put down. He wrote eight big words, "Abandon yourself in time, hide your actions in me!"
When Shi Xuejin came out with the rice porridge and saw these eight words, he was stunned. "These words are so ugly!"
Nie Ting laughed out loud. However, when he lifted the rice paper, the stone table suddenly turned into dust. These eight words actually contained sword intent.
Lü Shu's current swordsmanship could already hurt people with sword intent.
Nie Ting put away the rice paper and suddenly felt happy. Only Shi Xuejin was still feeling sorry for the stone table.
