Chapter 395 Return of the Soul
Inside the boundary monument, Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes.
"How come I fell asleep?" He smiled awkwardly. Even with his thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
He was obviously a storyteller, but he ended up telling himself to sleep. What a joke!
Am I, Lu Xun, a very weak man?
But no matter what, after a good night's sleep, he felt refreshed, and the feeling of being physically and mentally exhausted was no longer there.
He now has plenty of energy and really wants to stir up trouble and make the aliens suffer again.
"Lu Xun, are you awake?" A dripping sound was heard.
Lu Xun smiled and said, "Sorry, I've been a little tired lately. Have I finished my story just now?"
"It's almost all finished!" said Dida.
Lu Xun stood up, twisted his neck and waist, and did a few standard moves from the retro elementary and middle school students' radio gymnastics "Young Eagle Takes Off", and asked:
"How long have I slept?"
"Emm... I don't know either, but just for a short while!" Didi replied.
Lu Xun laughed, then he remembered that it was strictly speaking just a piece of stone. Could a stone's concept of time be the same as ours?
You have to know that the Dida next to you is a child who was born more than 300,000 days ago and weighs tons.
Fortunately, it is not a sensitive woman, otherwise, considering its age and weight... I dare not even think about it.
Dida paused for a moment and said, "Lu Xun, are you leaving?"
Lu Xun nodded and did not deny it.
He had too much to do and couldn't stay here for long.
Although Didi was reluctant to leave, it did not try to persuade it to stay.
Although it didn't know what was happening outside, it knew that something big must have happened.
"So are you leaving Xizhou now?" it asked again.
Lu Xun shook his head and said, "I still have some things to deal with in Xizhou. I will come to say goodbye to you before I leave Xizhou."
Upon hearing this, Dida immediately became happy.
In this world, Lu Xun is the only person who can communicate with it, but it is an easily satisfied child. Give it a candy and its heart will be filled with sweetness.
It was enough that Lu Xun came to see it before leaving.
So, Dida said loudly with an upward tone: "Okay!"
After leaving the boundary marker, Lu Xun realized how long he had slept, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's the seventh day."

…
Demon Sect, inside the main peak hall.
Shen Yan was the only one in the hall, as the other peak masters had already gone down the mountain to provide support to various places outside the Eastern Region.
Since the Demon Sect has a master in charge, the masters of the Demon Sect can be more free and do not need to stay at home to guard the house.
Given the temperament of the people in the Demon Sect, they certainly won't just mind their own business. In their view, this is not just a support, they will also feel happy if they kill all those bastards!
Mountains and rivers are different, but the wind and moon are the same.
This is a catastrophe that will sooner or later affect the entire continent, and no one can escape unscathed.
Before I knew it, it was already the seventh day.
At this moment, there were several small flying swords on the table in front of Shen Yan.
He sent a message via flying sword to inform some sects near the Eastern Region that the disciples of the Demon Sect would set out in the next few days to provide support to prevent the next invasion by the alien race.
But Shen Yan was such a stingy person. He was famous for his frugality. Giving Ji Li a small piece of fire essence was considered a huge investment in his opinion.
Not to mention that these sects are not here to borrow resources this time, but to borrow people.
People are the foundation of the Demon Sect.
Because, when Shen Yan sent a letter via flying sword, he would always add one sentence:
"Devil Sect disciples only borrow and must return."
He hopes to put some pressure on these sects so that they don't make rash decisions that would cause unnecessary casualties.
Although this is impossible, he still hopes that all the disciples of the Demon Sect can return home safely.
…
…
In the small bamboo forest at the back mountain of the Demon Sect.
The people in the back mountain sat in the bamboo forest, trying to suppress the urge to retch while eating the dishes prepared by Zhuge Lai Fu.
After this meal, Zhuge Lai Fu was about to go down the mountain.
The ugly man, affectionately called [Fu Di Mo] by the players, had a simple smile on his face as he watched everyone eating the dishes he cooked crazily.
He had squinty eyes to begin with, and now they looked like they were smiling.
Mao Nanbei really couldn't eat any more. She had reached the limit of what she could bear. She put down her bowl and chopsticks with a bang, crossed her arms over her chest, and said angrily:
"Sir! Why can't I go down the mountain with Third Senior Brother?"
In the entire back mountain, and possibly even in the entire continent, only this little loli with a board on her body, who is sure to win , dares to challenge the gentleman like this.
The gentleman was originally closing his taste buds, holding up his orchid fingers, chewing slowly and politely. After hearing what Mao Nanbei said, he was not angry, but smiled and said:
"Your strength has not yet fully recovered. Once you recover to the sixth level, I will allow you to leave the mountain."
"It's a deal! You're an adult now , you can't lie to cats!" Mao Nanbei put his two little hands on the table and looked up at the gentleman.
"Cough cough cough...it's a deal." The gentleman almost coughed out the food in his mouth.
At this moment, Ji Li and Lin Chan sat aside and looked at each other.
They were not as brave as Maonanbei, so they were a little hesitant to speak.
The gentleman turned his head, looked at the two pairs of big eyes, and slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.
He released his blocked sense of taste, but the aftertaste of food in his mouth made his face change drastically. He quickly blocked his sense of taste again, and smiled gently at Ji Li and Lin Chan, pretending nothing had happened.
He raised his orchid finger, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of hot tea, trying to dilute the aftertaste in his mouth, and said, "You two want to go down the mountain too?"
Ji Li and Lin Chan nodded in unison.
The gentleman put down his teacup and said, "You two are still at a low level of cultivation, so it's not appropriate for you to go down the mountain yet."
Then he continued, "I will personally instruct you from today on. Ji Li, you don't have to come to the bamboo forest to meditate in the morning starting from tomorrow."
"Ah?" Ji Li was stunned for a moment, glanced at the thin Taoist nun sitting on the stone, and then said obediently: "Yes! Sir."
The gentleman smiled, looked up at Gu Xiaoman on the rock and said, "Xiaoman, you are on the verge of a breakthrough. When you have a breakthrough, you can take them down the mountain."
The thin Taoist nun nodded and replied in a cold voice, "Yes, first... sir."
The gentleman lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but he muttered to himself, "It's the seventh day."
…
…
Xizhou, above Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain.
Ping Shanhai's small boat floated in the air, Qian Zhengyi stood beside him, both of them overlooking the land of Xizhou from a high place.
As the two people with the most special identities in the entire Xizhou, they looked down at the earth at night with some emotion in their hearts.
Ping Shanhai looked at it and said, "It's the seventh day, right?"
Qian Zheng nodded and said, "It's the seventh day."
The day they were talking about was counted from the beginning of the foreign invasion, and now was exactly the seventh day.
Seven days ago, a large number of sword cultivators died on this land, and a large number of practitioners also died on this continent called Tianchen.
"Mortals all see us as immortals, but Tianchen, Tianchen, we are just a speck of dust under the sky." Ping Shanhai said lightly.
Qian Zhengyi, who usually smiles, didn't have a smile on his face at all.
In Tianchen Continent, there is also a saying similar to the "First Seventh Day", but it has similarities and differences with the "First Seventh Day" on Earth.
According to legend, people will come back to visit on the seventh day after their death.
They will stay at the home for one night.
Last night.
This day is called [Return of the Soul] in Tianchen.
Ping Shanhai Sword was unsheathed, and the [Divine Sword] emitted a sword sound that resounded through heaven and earth!
"bass--!"
"bass--!"
Countless swords were unsheathed, and the sound of swords began to be heard everywhere in Xizhou.
Every sword sect in Xizhou has a sword tomb.
At this moment, every ownerless sword also made a series of sword sounds!
Some of them still had owners before seven days.
The sound of Manchu swords gave people infinite shock!
If they could really come back to life, let them hear that the spirit of the Xizhou sword cultivators is still there!
If only they could see, so they could know, at least at this moment...
——The mountains and rivers are safe, and the people are at peace!
…
…
Not only in Xizhou, but now all over the Tianchen Continent, people are doing the same thing.
The catastrophe has arrived, and this matter cannot be concealed. Now even ordinary people have gradually learned about it.
In their eyes, such a catastrophe was like the sky falling.
But fortunately, there were people on the mountain who supported them first.
Tonight is the time when the souls return. Many mortals living at the foot of the mountain spontaneously lit a bright lamp at their doorsteps and hung it in front of their doors.
I heard that after death people can’t see the road clearly, it’s very dark.
Take care of them.
One after another, bright lights were lit up everywhere in the Tianchen Continent, emitting orange-red, warm light.
If you look from a high place, you will see that the Tianchen Continent is brightly lit tonight and it is very beautiful.
Thousands of lights.
…
"Welcome home."
