    Chapter 185

    Xie Lian asked: "Is this your grave? Did I drink your wine?"

    He drank in a daze, and he didn't hear whether the ghost fire answered anything. He thought that the owner of the tomb was dissatisfied, and was driving himself away. He muttered and said, "I know, I'll leave now."

    Xie pity climbed up holding the wine jar and staggered forward. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, suddenly the foot was empty, and there was a "bang dong" - the whole person fell to the ground.

    It turned out that there was actually a big pit in this cemetery. It was probably dug up and ready to bury the dead. Unexpectedly, the dead hadn't been buried in, so let Xie Lian lie in first.

    Xie Lian knocked his forehead on the edge of the pit, it hurt, and he became more and more dizzy. He was dazed for a while before struggling to get up, his hands were mud and blood, and he didn't know where he broke.

    He raised his hands, watched blankly for a moment, and tried to climb out of the pit. But he had just drank a jar of wine, his hands and feet were weak, he couldn't exert any strength, and he slipped down after climbing several times. Xie Lian returned to the bottom of the pit, staring at the dark cloudy night sky for a while, very angry:

    This pit is not too deep, why can't climb out?

    The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Xie Lian couldn't help but muttered: "...I'm fucked."

    Xie Lian has never scolded anyone. This was the first time he spit out such words from his mouth. The amazing thing is that after scolding, the sullenness in his chest dissipated a little in an instant. So, Xie Lian, like a child who has tasted the sweetness, struggled to claw on the edge of the grave, raised his voice and scolded: "I'm so fucking fucked!"

    He patted the ground and shouted, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone to pull me?!"

    Of course no one. There is only a faint ghost fire, flying and not extinguishing. After Xie Lian fell, the group of ghosts rushed over and seemed to want to pull him, but never touched him. Xie Lian didn't care about it at all, and said angrily: "Just come and bury me!"

    Curse after cursing, crawling or crawling. Hahahaha, thanks for the pity, I managed to climb up by myself, already in a mess, lying on the ground panting. After a long while, he turned over and curled up with himself.

    Thanks for the pity: "It's so cold."

    He spoke very quietly, for fear of being heard. The ghost fire heard it, and flew over to stick to his body. The flame suddenly brightened a lot, as if it was burning itself hard.

    However, the ghost fire is cold.

    No matter how close it is and it burns out, it will not bring any warmth to the living.

    In a trance, Xie Lian seemed to hear a tiny voice.

    The voice seemed to be far away, as dreamy as it was true, and said desperately, "God, please wait for me, wait for me... Please give me a little more time... let me... let me..."

    "..."

    Thanks for the pity: "God? Are you calling me?"

    However, even praying to him was useless.

    Because, when He is God, nothing can be done. Now, he is no longer God, nor can he do anything.

    ...

    "...Your Highness? Your Highness? Your Highness!"

    Xie Lian was awakened by Fengxin.

    He barely opened his eyes and found himself lying in a small alley. Fengxin's face was hanging above, and when he saw him awake, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face was stained with a few anger, and said: "His Royal Highness! What's the matter with you? He ran out for more than two days without saying a word. If you don't come back, I won't be able to hide them from Your Majesty!"

    Xie Lian sat up slowly and said, "Two days?"

    As soon as these two words came out, he realized that his throat was dry, his voice was hoarse, his brows were twitching, and he had a splitting headache. Fengxin squatted beside him and said, "That's it! Two days! Where have you been?! How did you become so crazy just now?"

    Could it be that he was drunk for two days? Wasn't he in a wild cemetery? How could he lie here? And listening to Fengxin's tone, Xie Lian had an ominous premonition and said, "What's wrong with me?"

    Fengxin said angrily: "You are evil! Smash stalls everywhere, beat people everywhere, and stop the Yongan soldiers patrolling the streets! What did you do before, I don't know!"

    Hearing that he actually stopped the Yongan soldiers, Xie Lian was surprised and said: "I stopped the soldiers? Then...what about those soldiers?"

    Feng Channel: "Fortunately, you were hit and pulled by me. You look like this again. They thought you were a drunken madman. They scolded you a few words and didn't pay much attention, or you would die. What happened to you? What did I do? You look like you've been drinking?"

    Thanks for the pity, he looked down. He is now full of dirt and mud all over his body, scratching his hair, and he is also a prisoner who is about to be pulled down to ask him after the autumn. It really looks like those who sleep on the street all day long. Crazy drunk.

    After a moment of silence, he got up and said vaguely, "Well...drink some."

    Fengxin didn't react for a while, and said: "What? How can you drink? How much did you drink to get drunk for two days?"

    Seeing Fengxin's unbelievable face, Xie Lian was a little upset for no reason. He walked forward and said: "I said that I didn't drink much, so I drank a little. There's nothing to do. Why can't I drink."

    Fengxin didn't expect him to answer like this, stunned for a moment, and caught up: "What is not what to do? Why? Have you forgotten, Your Highness, because you drink and relapse, you can't relapse, otherwise what should you do with cultivation? You want to soar again. of."

    "..." As soon as he heard about cultivation and ascension, Xie Lian didn't want to listen anymore, and quickened his pace. Wind channel: "His Royal Highness!"

    He caught up again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What happened? Tell me?"

    Listening to Fengxin's careful inquiry, Xie Lian opened his mouth and stopped talking.

    If he doesn't find someone to speak out, he may be about to collapse. But he was not sure how Fengxin would react after he said it.

    He didn't dare to gamble.

    Seeing him sluggish, Fengxin said again: "Seriously, it's not murder, arson and robbery. Is there anything else you can't tell me, Your Highness?"

    Hearing "it's not murder, arson and robbery", Xie Lian suffocated.

    If it was said that he had already given birth to a little shake and a little luck, then at this moment, he was completely shattered. Xie Lian lowered his head, turned around and continued walking, vaguely saying: "Nothing... but, I'm really tired. You..." He was about to make up an excuse, and suddenly found something on the side of Fengxin's cheek, and stopped. "What's wrong with your face?"

    Fengxin touched his cheek smoothly, and seemed to touch the sore spot, and his muscles twitched. The things on his face were bruises. Moreover, one arm was also wrapped in bandages, which were carefully bandaged layer by layer.

    This bandage is definitely not bandaged by Fengxin himself, but Xie Lian cares about the injury under the bandage, he said: "How did you get injured?"

    With Fengxin's skill, mortals can't easily hurt him, and it's still his arm. Fengxin didn't care, and said: "Oh, nothing, those scoundrels came to smash the stall."

    Xie Lian was surprised and said, "Are those locals who were performing arts that day?"

    Feng Channel: "It's them."

    Xie Lian said: "Why did they smash your booth?" Immediately, he had an epiphany, "Because we conceded defeat that day, but you went to show off later, so they came to chase you?"

    That's mostly it. After figuring out the reason, Xie Lian suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

    He said bluntly, "Don't go!"

    Fengxin didn't care about the tunnel and said: "Don't worry about them! I'm going to go. It's you who admit defeat, not me. I didn't admit defeat anyway, it's not remorse, I just want to perform there, they can get it in addition to sneaking things and smashing stalls. How about me? I was unprepared this time, I won't next time, and I'm not afraid of them in a fight!"

    After hearing this, the sudden anger in Xie Lian's heart immediately dissipated and was replaced by a burst of guilt.

    Fengxin is like this, but he is still decadent and dejected here by himself. How can he deal with the loyal servants who have not left him at this step?

    Thinking of this, Xie Lian sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Fengxin."

    Fengxin was stunned, waved his hand vigorously, and said: "What is your Highness doing to say sorry to me, isn't this nonsense?"

    Thanks for the pity: "These days, you are making money alone, and you have worked hard for you."

    Feng Channel: "As long as you cultivate well and ascend as soon as possible, it will be better than anything else!"

    Hearing the word "flying" again, Xie Lian nodded heavily.

    The lord and queen were deceived by Fengxin, only thinking that Xie Lian had been practicing outside for the past few days. Seeing him back, the queen happily cooked another meal. Xie Lian couldn't bear it, so he brought Fengxin's bowl and ate it in his place. Sleepless nights.

    On the second day, Fengxin got up early and went out, and Xie Lian stayed to practice.

    However, even though he was already 120,000 points of energy, he was still unable to concentrate.

    This truth, as everyone knows, the only way to get ahead is to study hard and practice hard. However, among ten thousand people, how many can truly practice these four words diligently and diligently? In the same way, even if he told himself ten thousand times in his mind that he was free from distractions, how could he do it?

    For more than ten consecutive days, the progress of cultivation has been stagnant, and nothing has been achieved. Xie Lian is inevitably anxious. Especially in the middle of the night every day, Fengxin dragged his tired body back, and asked him if he had made progress today with the queen, and Xie Lian felt an indescribable huge pressure.

    But he didn't dare to tell the truth, he could only answer vaguely that there was progress, so Fengxin and the queen were very happy. It's not the way to go for a long time. Two months later, Xie Lian finally couldn't let this situation continue.

    One day, Fengxin returned late at night, and the two were eating the leftovers left over from yesterday at the table. Eating and eating, Xie Lian suddenly said to him: "I'm afraid I have to leave for a while."

    Fengxin was stunned while cooking: "Ah? Leave? Where are you leaving?"

    Xie Lian said slowly: "I'm going to find a quiet place with enough spiritual energy to practice in seclusion."

    If the cultivation place is full of spiritual energy, it will be of great benefit to practitioners. Before, Xie Lian was unable to leave because he couldn't make up his mind to leave his parents and two servants. Now, he has changed his mind. Fengxin didn't think much about it and said: "Great! Your Highness, you should have done this long ago! Clean repair is the most effective."

    Xie Lian nodded, paused, and said, "When I leave, I will trouble you to take care of the father and the emperor."

    Fengxin was about to answer, but suddenly hesitated for a moment. Although it is fleeting, but Xie Lian is very familiar with him, how can he not see his hesitation at this moment?

    At this moment, the lord of the house said: "You can go. The solitary king doesn't need anyone else to look after him."

    Fengxin and Xie Lian put down the tableware and looked into the house. The country lord hadn't rested yet, when he heard their conversation, he interjected. Xie Lian shook his head and whispered: "I'm trying to be brave again." Fengxin smiled and said: "Your Highness, rest assured. That's for sure."

    Now he answered readily, but Xie Lian did not forget, just now, Feng Xin seemed to hesitate for a moment before answering, as if he had other concerns.

    However, thinking about it, he felt that maybe it was really wrong. Apart from them, Fengxin doesn't know anyone else, and has no other concerns. What other concerns can there be? Ignore it and think about tomorrow's schedule.

    The next day, Xie Lian carried a simple luggage and temporarily bid farewell to his parents and Fengxin.

    He walked for dozens of miles on foot, slept in the open for several days, and finally found a secluded mountain suitable as a place for cultivation. After some investigation, Xie Lian was stunned for a moment, and then, his heart was ecstatic:

    "I'm so lucky... This place is very good in feng shui, and it's actually a rare paradise!"

    Unlucky to this day, it has suddenly come to work, thank you and pity still a little unbelievable, repeated confirmation, this is no doubt. This is really a spiritual treasure. If you can concentrate on practicing here for a few months, you will get twice the result with half the effort and make rapid progress!

    Xie Lian seemed to see hope, and the gloomy mood for the past few days suddenly became clear, and his heart rejoiced: "Father, mother, Fengxin, wait for me. I will be back soon!"

    After climbing along the steep and rugged mountain road for three or four hours, Xie Lian finally entered the depths of this spiritual mountain before sunset.

    Walking through the heavy woods, you can obviously feel that you are getting closer and closer to the birthplace of spiritual energy. Xie Lian's footsteps are getting more and more brisk. Who knows, just when he was choosing a cleaning site, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

    There are so many footsteps in such a secluded mountain place, thank you for looking back subconsciously. Unexpectedly, at this look, the smile on his mouth froze.

    Behind him, there were actually many people, about 30 people, different in height, short, fat and thin, with different looks and clothes, but without exception, they were all priests. A few are the last priests in the upper heaven, and most are the same priests in the lower heaven.

    Among them, there are still those little priests who were standing on the road when they hit the road and robbery last time!

    When they saw Xie Lian, their expressions changed slightly. And seeing them, Xie Lian's hand trembled slightly.

    Both sides looked at each other. After a long while, the priest over there coughed and said, "It's such a coincidence that I actually met His Royal Highness here."

    "Yes, why did His Royal Highness come here?"

    "..."

    Xie Lian nodded slightly, and tried his best to calmly and calmly, without being humble or arrogant: "I came here to practice."

    Although he is not what he used to be today, Xie Lian still tried his best to speak in the same tone as when he was not demoted in the past, so as not to let himself down and not let himself feel guilty.

    The priest on the opposite side smiled and said, "It's even more coincidental, we are also here to practice."

    "Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect to bump into one place. Hehehe..."

    It turned out that this cave was not only discovered by him. These dozens of priests also took a fancy to them.

    In the face of such a situation, Xie Lian hesitated in his heart. Do you want to practice with so many priests?

    To be honest, he resisted from the bottom of his heart to practice with other priests. First, he came to retreat and cultivate. If he can't be alone, but with so many people, he will inevitably be disturbed. Some people like to practice in groups, "good for each other to take care of each other", but Xie Lian has always practiced alone.

    Second, after the last robbery incident, he is now uneasy when he sees the priests he had dealt with in the past. Subtle eyes scrutinized his illusion, so, he had no intention to cultivate at all.

    Although, there is a rule for occupying the blessed land, it is first come first served. As long as it is tough enough, Xie Lian can say that I came first. Please find another place to practice. The priest is on the opposite side, so it's not good to be too tough. Moreover, he alone occupied the blessed land and drove away so many priests, which is also domineering. Even if Xie Lian refused to practice with other priests, there was nothing he could do. For a while, he couldn't find another place for cultivation with such abundant spiritual energy, so he nodded and said, "Yeah, it's a coincidence. Then I'll go first, everyone, please do your own thing."

    As he spoke, he wanted to leave in a hurry and find a quietest cave to hide. Who knows, just as he turned around, a priest behind him said, "Wait a minute?"

    Xie Lian stopped, turned back and wondered, "What's the matter?"

    Some of the thirty or so priests made eye contact and some spoke in a low voice. Xu Yu, stood up and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has occupied a lot of Paradise in the past. Why don't you give this one to us?"

    Xie Lian was stunned for a while before he reacted.

    What they meant was that they wanted him to leave alone?

    Inexplicable, deceiving too much!

    A burst of blood rushed to his forehead on the spot. Xie Lian thought: "I came first, I didn't let you go, why did you let me go instead?"

    But he is not good at rashly attacking. After being silent for a while, the fingers holding the bag straps slowly clenched, and Xie Lian said bluntly: "Everyone, what does this mean?"

    A priest said: "This... Didn't I already say it just now... His Royal Highness has occupied a lot of blessed land in the past..."

    Xie pity interrupted him: "But what does that have to do with this? Could it be that I have occupied a lot of spiritual land in the past, and am I not allowed to practice spiritual land in the future?"

    The priest was blocked by him and stopped talking. Xie Lian tried his best to be calm and authentic: "Besides, I don't understand very well, and it's not that I am cultivating here, so you can't cultivate here. Isn't it common to share spiritual practice? All right? Why do you have to let me go?"

    At this time, someone muttered: "...Don't be stupid. There are already more than 30 people. If you are cultivating here, what else can others cultivate..."

    Although that person was quickly pressed down by others, Xie Lian understood in an instant.

    I see!

    The aura of a blessed land is limited. When cultivating, if one person takes up half of it, later people can only take up the other half. And if one of them accounts for 80%, the other can only account for 20%. The stronger the ability to absorb spiritual energy for one's own use, the more spiritual energy can be used.

    These priests are worried that if he also cultivates here, he will use up most of his spiritual energy. And the rest of the spiritual energy is distributed to more than 30 of them, and each of them has no trace left at all!

    Figured this out, the blood in Xie Lian's brain rushed even more fiercely. He clenched his fists and said coldly, "...I want to practice here."

    A priest on the opposite side said: "His Royal Highness, we respect you so that we are willing to call you His Royal Highness. You are a mortal now, why do you have to fight us for spiritual ground?"

    Xie Lian said: "Since I am a mortal and you are all priests, then I am practicing here, what are you afraid of? If I don't leave, will you still force me away?"

    Of course not.If a mortal has no major faults, but the priest uses force against him, he will be punished.The priests really couldn't do anything about him.However, Xie Lian forgot one thing.

    Just as he was stubbornly confronting these thirty or so priests, a voice suddenly said: "His Royal Highness has been demoted to mortals, and his bones are getting tougher. Not only will he rob mortals, but he will also collide with priests, hahaha!"

    As soon as heard this sentence, Xie Lian immediately fell into an ice cave!

    He raised his head suddenly, and saw that the speaker was an inconspicuous lower-level priest, but it was not any of the priests who broke the incident that day!

    Sure enough, they said it long ago! It was not an illusion of gratitude at all, and everyone was indeed looking at him with that subtle vision.Everyone knows it, these priests, all know it!!!

    In an instant, Xie Lian seemed to have his bones removed suddenly, the arrogance all over his body disappeared, his eyes were almost bloodshot, he turned his head stiffly, looked at the little priests, and said dumbly: "...you said,I won't tell anyone."
