"Brother Xiao Wu, why do you want to stay in the mountain? There is nothing fun in the mountain. Is it... a matter of love?"

The old man asked doubtfully.

——This young man is well-groomed, has a gentle and polite manner, and is good at fighting with his bare hands. He probably does not come from an ordinary family.

So the only reason is "emotional issues".

"I am emotionally frustrated. I want to live here for a while and seek the protection of Ningshen Division Master." Wu Xiaode said.

The old man was silent for a few breaths.

If those robbers come again... this young man has nothing to fear, but we...

no.

The surveillance cameras will be installed tomorrow.

also--

"Brother, if you don't mind it, you can stay with us for a while. We have guest rooms."

The old man said.

"Of course that's good, thank you very much." Wu Xiaode smiled.

Sudden.

Hearing a loud "bang", lines of small words in ice crystals suddenly appeared in his mind:

"You drove away the robbers."

"Justice has been upheld, and you also gain merit points: 1 point."

"It seems that something related to you has changed. Please explore on your own."

Wu Xiaode was slightly startled.

I just came to this world and I don’t know anyone——

In this world where soul power is completely sealed, what matters to me?

He thought for a while, stood up and said:

"I'm going out for a walk and I'll be back soon. Please help yourself."

"Okay, okay." The old man said repeatedly.

Wu Xiaode walked out of the temple gate and came all the way to the steps going down the mountain.

He took a tentative step.

No fog is produced.

It seems that doing good things that are beneficial to the illusory world can make the will of the world loosen its restraint on itself!

Wu Xiaode felt happy and continued to walk down the mountain along the steps.

Soon.

When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he saw a pavilion and the words on the outside of several nearby houses:

"Drinks, snacks; boiling water for instant noodles."

It was too late and the doors were closed.

Wu Xiaode crossed the pavilion and continued walking down the mountain.

Mist suddenly appeared all around.

He lost his bearings and began to feel uncomfortable all over.

But this time, the skin on his body did not become wrinkled, nor did he feel like he was about to die.

Anyway——

Can't go any further.

Wu Xiaode took a step back, returned to the pavilion, and sighed.

1 point of merit is to enable yourself to reach this pavilion?

What the hell is the use of this!

While he was thinking, he suddenly saw a shadow appear on the pavilion.

Under the moonlight.

The shadow walked slowly over and squatted on the roof beam of the pavilion, overlooking Wu Xiaode.

——It is a cat with a completely black body and white eyes.

"The fact that you can gain merit... is something that makes people miss you a lot, so I came to take a look at you."

The black cat speaks human words.

"Do you know my origin?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The black cat narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Cultivation of merit is something that only gods in the prehistoric era can do. In the past, if you practiced three thousand virtues, you would have the qualifications to become an immortal. And you are on this mountain -

"

"Perhaps you are an immortal under the Queen Mother of the West?"

Wu Xiaode was startled, then he was overjoyed and said:

"Your Excellency is right. In fact, I am the head of Kunlun Mountain Ningshen. I encountered a treacherous world will. It was supposed to be the one who came here, but it ended up using me as a substitute."

The black cat nodded and said nothing.

——It recognized this!

Wu Xiaode said: "Since you also know that you made a mistake, can you let me go back? I don't want to stay in this world for a second longer."

Black Cat shook his head and said: "Any being who comes here can only live his life as an ordinary person. You'd better give up the idea."

"Is there no way at all?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Black Cat's eyes narrowed again, and he shook his head and said, "It's not easy to survive in this world. I advise you - Huh?"

It stared at the two weapons on Wu Xiaode's waist and remained silent for a while.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Xiaode didn't know why.

"Do you use a knife or a sword?" the black cat asked, wagging its tail.

"They know it a little bit," Wu Xiaode said.

"So...do you have any masters in swordsmanship?" Black Cat asked again.

"I didn't have a teacher, I was only taught one move." Wu Xiaode answered truthfully.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask about your abilities, but can you reveal a little bit about your swordsmanship?" Black Cat asked calmly.

Wu Xiaode hesitated.

——Is this a relationship?

The sword technique of "Walking Alone in the Snow" was passed down to later generations by Li Chengfeng, the Sword Saint of All Worlds, in order to wait for a person to return to his time to fight against the robbery demon.

So what about the secret sword "Changyue Shuying"?

Could it be——

Wu Xiaode did not move his sword, but said: "I recall drinking on the Wu Bridge in the past, and there were many heroes sitting in the middle -"

Before he finished speaking, the black cat's wagging tail stopped moving, and then the fur all over its body exploded.

"It's you."

Black Cat said in a deep tone.

"Me?" Wu Xiaode was confused.

"I'm going to make some preparations, quickly or slowly. I'll be ready in a day or two, and then I'll come back to you." After the black cat finished speaking, he rose into the sky and disappeared under the moonlight.

Only Wu Xiaode remained where he was.

He stood alone for a while and shouted to the sky:

"Hey, didn't you say that you can't use soul power in this world?"

No response.

Wu Xiaode looked back at the road leading down the mountain.

The rugged mountain road was obscured by fog and completely impassable.

well.

never mind.

Let's go back to the mountain first, rest for the night, and wait for the cat to come back.
To be continued...
