MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 170v100 Backtracking, psychic space

Chapter 170: Retrospection, psychic space

 Tongtian arithmetic.

After these four words came out of Ye Shuang's mouth, Ye Shuang raised his head and continued to maintain the posture of lying down, but his expression was almost overflowing, with a look like "I want to see you shocked" .

 But the result was not as Ye Shuang expected.

Ye Shuang raised her feet, originally ready to admire it, but what greeted her were two blank faces.

It's okay for the woman in black clothes to be confused. After all, she has always maintained this posture and expression. She always looks confused when she sees anyone, except when she sees Zhou An, she will have several more emotions.

 But Zhou An's confusion left Ye Shuang at a loss.

Ye Shuang was like a cabbage beaten by frost. He lowered his delicate legs and said in a very exaggerated tone, "Aren't you surprised?"

 Zhou An's blank eyes recovered, and then he looked at the woman in black and said, "She's the one with the eight unique skills in arithmetic and arithmetic?"

There was no surprise in this tone, just an unlikely emotion.

Ye Shuang opened her slender and white hands and made a big gesture: "It's her, it's her! She is one of the eight special skills of Tongtian Arithmetic. She is known as the strongest defense among the eight special skills. She can count the sky, the earth, and the sky. My own powerful technique!”

 She thought Zhou An didn't believe it, so she explained it in detail.

 But Zhou An still looked like that, and he even took out the Hanmui Knife from his arms.

Now, the Cold Crystal Knife was outdated. He had long ago upgraded it to the Cold Marrow Knife using the materials given by the emperor. Even the pans were also upgraded, and the soft armor he wore was also upgraded uniformly.

After pulling out the cold marrow knife, Zhou An slashed it out without hesitation.

The woman in black was split in half in a daze, and then turned into a shadow, twisting and reuniting, looking at Zhou An with a strange look.

This little expression seemed to tell Zhou An that I didn't make a mistake, so why are you trying to hit me?

Zhou An then sheathed his sword and said, "This defense is not strong, but its recovery ability is relatively strong. How can it be regarded as a master of arithmetic?"

Although Zhou An was very curious about the origin of the woman in black, he always felt that giving the woman in black a special skill like arithmetic did not seem to be consistent with the woman in black's usual situation.

Of course, the woman in black is really evil, and even things like condensing eight special skills can happen.

Ye Shuang was also shocked, opened her mouth wide, and said in an incredible tone: "Is this how you two usually get along?"

 She couldn't believe it.

　　The sword was drawn out whenever he was told to draw it, and he cut whenever he was told to chop. Moreover, the woman in black looked very used to it.

Ye Shuang now seriously suspects that the way these two get along is a bit strange, maybe it's a relationship between being hacked and hacked every day.

Of course, doubts remain doubts, and what needs to be said must still be said.

Ye Shuang continued to explain: "The so-called Tongtian Arithmetic is an extremely powerful divination method. In fact, Taoist sects also know divination methods, but the things they learn in Taoist sects are very complicated, and they need to learn all kinds of spells, so we have to talk about it. Who is more professional in this subject, Tongtian Arithmetic is the most professional.”

“They can calculate the sky, the earth, and the past and present life. And because they understand this extremely powerful arithmetic, they have a strong advantage in defense.”

 Speaking, Ye Shuang also gave an example.

"For example, if you pick up a knife and slash at a person who knows Tongtian Arithmetic, then the moment you lift the knife, Tongtian Arithmetic has already calculated all your next attack methods, and can be used in your attack. Whenever possible, dodge at full speed, which is why it has the strongest defense.”

When Zhou An heard this, he looked at the woman in black and repeated what he said before: "It really doesn't look like it. It's not about hiding. It's obviously about recovery."

 He was still a little unconvinced.

Ye Shuang still didn't believe it when she saw Zhou An. She had no choice but to carry her teacher out: "This is what my teacher said. What he said...should be very credible."

 In the past, Ye Shuang would have removed the two words that should be used, but at this time, she still felt like adding these two words.

 Because she felt that Zhou An didn't believe it, so it was possible.

If the Imperial Preceptor knew about Ye Shuang's thoughts, the Imperial Preceptor would jump up and point at Ye Shuang and say something crazy.

 The self-raised disciple doesn’t even believe in himself at this time and is simply speechless.

"Okay, then I believe for the moment that she can do arithmetic, but what does going to Fuhu Villa have to do with her?" Zhou An asked.

Now that he has said this, Zhou An has actually become interested. He feels that if he really gets involved with the woman in black, he would still like to go and see her.

After all, this woman in black is by his side like a piece of dog-skin plaster. Although it does no harm to him, and the two of them usually live here, they have long been accustomed to it, but Zhou An feels it is necessary to find out the identity of the woman in black.

But before understanding it, you still have to ask what the connection is.

Ye Shuang lowered her head, thought for a while, then organized her words, and then said: "The teacher said that if she is really good at arithmetic, then her meeting with you is definitely not a coincidence."

“To use a very simple analogy, a person who knows the best divination method in the world will achieve every step he takes through divination, including meeting you.”

“Perhaps she performed divination at an unknown time, and finally the encounter between you and her occurred, including some of the experiences in the Guild, which were also achieved through divination.”

“To put it clearly, every step she takes is carefully planned, but we don’t know her purpose.”

 Zhou An nodded in agreement.

If you are really good at arithmetic, chances are that your encounter with yourself will be the result of divination.

Of course, what he wants to know more now is what the relationship between Fuhu Villa and the woman in black is.

After explaining this, Ye Shuang also revealed the ultimate purpose: "Actually, the teacher is not sure whether there is any relationship, but this time, the old owner of Fuhu Villa and the situation of Fuhu Villa, the teacher suspects that it is The old village owner had a problem when he broke through the psychic realm, or he touched something that he shouldn't have touched when he broke through the psychic realm."

　Psychic realm is the realm of people in the profession.

 This realm is after the innate realm.

 Zhou An had known about it before.

 The book given by the emperor also has a description.

The so-called psychic realm is the next realm when the innate realm reaches its peak.

 The Xiantian realm focuses on bringing the purity of Qi to an extreme and possessing the power of endless life.

 The psychic realm no longer focuses on the purity and endless generation of Qi, but instead focuses on another way of practice, that is, the soul.

Of course, in the process of cultivating the soul, the purity and endless power of Qi will also be enhanced.

As for why we need to cultivate the soul, it is actually very simple. After reaching the psychic realm, the intensity of Qi will be greatly improved.

 During the process of ascension, the soul power of the innate realm cannot control Qi.

 If you continue to practice your own Qi, you will lose control. Once you lose control, you will suffer immeasurable danger.

 It is possible to self-destruct and die, and in the least severe case, it only takes a while to become an ordinary person.

No one wants to lose all their cultivation achievements, so soul power is the main focus in the psychic realm.

 The soul power cultivated in the psychic realm will enter an indescribable space when it first enters the psychic realm.

This kind of space is known as a psychic space.

 The space contains endless soul storms, which will have a terrible impact on the soul.

 The method of cultivation is to use the storm of the soul to temper the power of the soul.

 The more tempered, the stronger the soul's power, the more energy it can control, and the better effects it can exert.

 In the psychic space, crises are everywhere because there are many unknown things here.

  But if you practice carefully, you can resolve a large part of the crisis.

 Some people are not willing to accept the slow speed of improvement, so they explore unknown existences in the psychic space during the process of tempering their soul power.

No one can figure out why the psychic space exists, but once you reach that state, you can explore there.

 Perhaps very outrageous things will happen, but because of exploration, you will be greatly improved on the edge of life and death, and even make your own soul strength much stronger than others.

 The stronger the soul strength, the easier it is to control Qi, and the stronger the combat power it brings.

What Ye Shuang said just now was that the old owner of Fuhu Villa explored the unknown existence when he broke through the psychic realm, which resulted in the final result.

But the entire Fuhu Villa has been destroyed, and there is something fishy here.

Moreover, Zhou An also discovered a blind spot.

“You mean, the psychic space in the psychic realm has something to do with her?” Zhou An pointed at the blank woman in black next to him and asked.

"It's just a suspicion." Ye Shuang said: "And this suspicion has not been confirmed, but you know Zhou An, even if there is a trace of suspicion, you have to verify it. What if her life experience can be revealed?"

Hearing this, Zhou An touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

 He was thinking about whether this trip was worth it, especially since it was obvious that this matter was also related to the National Preceptor.

To be honest, he has not yet met or gotten involved with these top figures from the Chu Kingdom.

The meeting with Eunuch Wei was a coincidence, and it was Eunuch Wei who came over, so Zhou An naturally accepted the contact.

  But now, there is another person who has contact with him, who is also the imperial advisor of the dynasty, and Zhou An feels that things are getting more and more complicated.

 After all, these people are all old people, they have lived longer than me, they have eaten salt and walked on more bridges than me.

Zhou An is not an arrogant person. Even if he has a golden finger, he has always been cautious and cautious.

The improvements along the way, including various battles, are all aimed at eliminating all risks and allowing yourself to be in a more stable environment.

If you join this matter, it will bring some unpredictable effects. Zhou An felt that he would simply throw it aside and ignore it.

but…

Zhou An turned his head and looked at the woman in black, remembering what Ye Shuang said just now.

If the woman in black is really the descendant of Tongtian Arithmetic, then perhaps the meeting between him and the woman in black would have been settled by the woman in black.

 What role do you play here?

As the old saying goes, if faced with an unstable environment and factors, Zhou An will choose to take the initiative to remove all obstacles, put himself in a stable environment again, and continue to improve his proficiency.

 Thinking of this, Zhou An made a decision.

"When to set off?"

Since you want to explore the secret of the woman in black, let’s go there.

 After figuring out the process, if it is good for yourself, then leave it alone.

If there is harm to himself, Zhou An will wipe out the harm at all costs.

Seeing Zhou An's agreement, Ye Shuang's face was full of joy and joy. Then she straightened her clothes and put the veil on her face: "Let's go now. The journey is long. It will take some time for us to get there. Fortunately, you are here It’s okay for Bian to be the shopkeeper, and we don’t have to think about things in Maplewood State when we go back and forth.”

Zhou An looked like you were slandering me: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not a hands-off shopkeeper. I'm here to coordinate the overall situation. You know, it makes me look like a freeloader. I'm like this person?"

No matter what, although we are the hands-off shopkeeper, we can't say it openly, otherwise what will others think of us?

Ye Shuang looked at Zhou An with a strange look and said, "But everyone knows that you are the shopkeeper. The teacher also said that you are living a good life."

 “This is slander!” Zhou An emphasized seriously.

Ye Shuang looked innocent and twirled his fingers: "And my uncle also said that you will be in danger from time to time as a hands-off shopkeeper here. It is better to take you to the capital and everyone will protect you." , allowing you to improve yourself in a stable environment.”

“It’s a pity that Eunuch Wei and my teacher disagree. They say that a strong person needs to constantly practice in danger.”

"What!" Zhou An stood up directly: "Did Yuan Qingyi really say that?"

Ye Shuang nodded firmly: "Uncle Master said that if he hadn't been able to defeat Eunuch Wei, he would have taken you away by force and brought you to the capital for good protection. It's a pity that after saying this, you were The teacher picked up Fu Chen and chased him everywhere, so he gave up on the matter. "

When Zhou An heard this, he almost beat his feet and chest and shouted, "Eunuch Wei, I was mistaken."

Yuan Qingyi's idea may indeed cause a lack of experience for others, but for herself, it is a good thing.

 He longs for a stable environment!

 But now, this idea has come to nothing?

At this pace, Yuan Qingyi can't beat Eunuch Wei, nor can he beat the imperial master, and he has no idea of ​​​​taking advantage of him.

"I regret it, I regret it so much. Why did I get so confused in the first place that I agreed to Eunuch Wei's request?" Zhou An felt helpless.

Of course, things have come to this, and Zhou An doesn’t think about these things anymore.

Now that he has made a decision, he should start early, solve the problem early, and return to liver proficiency early.

 After making up his mind, Zhou An asked Ye Shuang to lead the way.

Ye Shuang didn't hesitate. When the two of them walked out of the door, they returned to their deserted demeanor and soon walked towards the outside of Fenglin State.

 …

　This journey was to investigate Fuhu Villa, so they did not ride in a carriage, but walked alone.

 Fortunately, the speed is not slow. After all, they are all top-notch experts, and the speed on the road is much faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage.

 Zhou An used the Wandering Dragon Step to move forward.

Ye Shuang is more flashy. He sticks two talisman papers on his slender thighs, and his speed is no slower than Zhou An.

As for the woman in black, she kept pulling Zhou An after she came out, and the way she hurried on was also very strange.

As long as she was more than two meters away from Zhou An, she would automatically return to Zhou An, so the woman in black did not use any means to rush away, and just stood there blankly.

 From time to time, he disappeared and reappeared next to Zhou An, acting very evil.

Coupled with the forbidden beauty of the woman in black, the evil spirit becomes more and more powerful.

 …

 It was a smooth journey.

　　When the three of them arrived at Fuhu Mountain, several hundred miles away from Fenglin Prefecture, Zhou An squinted his eyes and took stock.

This mountain is very high, much higher than the surrounding areas.

  After all, this was once a hilltop belonging to a big power, so the location chosen was naturally a good one.

 The mountain is not only high, but also steep and lush with trees.

 In the daytime, it looks like a mountain.

 After arriving here, the speed of several people slowed down.

Zhou An and Ye Shuang walked side by side, while the woman in black held Zhou An's hand and looked around curiously.

This is also the first time for her to go out to such a far away place. She used to follow Zhou An and play around in Maplewood State. This time, her curiosity is almost exploding and everything she sees feels quite new. While walking, Zhou An was still chatting with Ye Shuang.

 “Everyone who suppressed Guisi has left, and now it’s just an empty villa?” Zhou An asked.

Ye Shuang nodded and replied coldly: "It's empty."

Even though there was no one around now, Ye Shuang kept his deserted look just to be on the safe side.

Zhou An was naturally used to Ye Shuang's state, so he asked again: "If you don't cooperate with me, why won't you come?"

 Although the Supervision Department is involved in this matter, in general, it should be a matter of suppressing the traitors.

Zhou An couldn't understand why he didn't even cooperate.

 After all, it has to be done once and for all.

And if we want to talk about the relationship between primary and secondary, the Supervision Department is here to cooperate.

Ye Shuang shook his head and said: "Because this is what the teacher meant. He chatted with the chief for a while, and then the chief agreed to let us come over and have a look first."

 “That’s it.” Zhou An figured it out.

 This matter was already communicated with two of the three powerful ministers of the Great Chu State.

 After asking the whole story clearly, Zhou An said no more and continued on his way.

Going all the way up, they finally came to a huge building.

This is only the outermost mountain gate. This mountain gate alone is built with incomparable grandeur.

Going up the mountain gate, there is a series of artificially built stone steps. They are neat and smooth, and it seems that a lot of thought has been put into them.

And above this, there is a plaque hanging with the words Fuhu Villa written on it.

 The annihilation of Fuhu Villa happened not long ago, so this sign still looks like new.

 Obviously, he took care of the house a lot before destroying it.

A few people walked along the mountain gate, all the way up, and soon they came to a huge building complex.

 “It’s really rich.” Zhou An sighed as he looked at the buildings in front of him.

 The buildings in front of you are one after another, row upon row, and they are very particular about the construction pattern. You can tell at a glance that they were built by masters.

“It was supposed to be lively, but unfortunately, it’s now silent.”

Ye Shuang came to the door, pushed it open, and said, "The things inside have not been moved, including all traces, just for us to investigate."

As the door was pushed open, there was a huge courtyard inside the door. There were blood stains everywhere in the courtyard.

Since a lot of time has passed, the blood stains are no longer fresh. They are dark brown and have dried up.

 Zhou An followed and took out the cold marrow knife from the pink money bag.

  After all, you are coming to a special environment, so it is important to stay vigilant.

Although Zhou An is strong, he is a cautious person and does not want to capsize in the gutter.

 When I was watching TV dramas before, I encountered scenes where the protagonist group accidentally caused a catastrophe.

This kind of thing does not exist here.

Ye Shuang also walked in and was still talking: "This force has always supported the Great Chu Kingdom. This time such a big thing happened, and the Zhenshuisi was also very anxious, so he wanted to solve it immediately, but he had no clue at the moment, so he could only Look at our methods."

 Speaking, Ye Shuang took out a large handful of talisman papers from his arms and selected them one by one in front of Zhou An, finally selecting five.

From the moment he entered the courtyard, Zhou An felt something uncomfortable.

It’s not the blood stains. After all, he is also a person who is used to seeing various scenes of life and death. He has long been accustomed to **** scenes.

 He felt that Fuhu Villa was always a little cold. Compared with the outside, the temperature inside had dropped a lot.

Zhou An tried to circulate the energy in his body and used the Eye of Deception, but he found nothing unusual and did not see anyone peeking quietly.

“The air-conditioning seems to only cover the area of ​​Fuhu Villa. What do you want to do now?” Zhou An asked when he saw Ye Shuang taking out the talisman paper.

Ye Shuang turned his head and raised the talisman in his hand: "This is what the teacher gave me. It's called a traceback talisman. It can make things that happened in the past appear in a place. You can see how Fuhu Villa was destroyed." ”

“There are still good things like this, give me two.” Zhou An stretched out his hand and asked Ye Shuang for it without hesitation.

Ye Shuang shook his head: "I want to give it to you too, but I can't give it to you. I can only practice it when I reach the Xiantian realm, and the object of retrospection is also related to my strength. What the teacher made is very precious, and I can't give it to you if I don't give it to you." I have more.”

 “I see, then forget it.” Zhou An took back his hand, not feeling the slightest regret that he didn’t come.

“Then how do we start? Can we just burn it?”

Since it can be traced back to the previous scenes, it must have a significant effect on unlocking the secret of Fuhu Villa.

Ye Shuang pointed to the area around Fuhu Villa and said, "Let's stick these talisman papers to the four corners of the Villa, and then I will hold the last one and light it, so that you can see it."

 After saying that, in order to seize the time, Ye Shuang started to take the lead.

Zhou An followed behind with the cold marrow knife.

There were no accidents during the whole process. For example, a monster or an enemy popped out. It went smoothly and the talisman papers were pasted in the four corners of Fuhu Villa.

To be honest, Zhou An felt that the villa was too big, and it took a lot of time just to put up the talisman.

After doing all this, the two returned to the yard. Then Ye Shuang raised the talisman in his hand and circulated the Qi in his body without any hesitation.

 The next moment, the talisman burned without wind and turned into ashes all over the sky.

 Immediately afterwards, a special scene appeared in front of me.

 The surrounding buildings, the sky, and even the ground began to become blurry, as if they were covered with a living mosaic, making it difficult to see clearly and clearly.

Even with Zhou An's delusional eyes, he could only see a trace.

Fortunately, this scene disappeared quickly. When the mosaic gradually became clear, Zhou An saw that the sky at this moment had changed from day to night.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Shuang next to him spoke, still looking cold and indifferent.

 “It’s an illusion from the past, don’t worry about it.”

 Zhou An nodded, indicating that he understood, but still looked around curiously.

At night, Fuhu Villa was still heavily guarded. Even in the courtyard, there were many gatekeepers standing there.

"It seems like everything is fine here. Since the problem came from the old village owner first, we might as well go to that place and have a look." Zhou An said.

 The two of them did not stop, but followed the courtyard and entered the inner courtyard.

There was nothing wrong along the way, and we found the old owner's room smoothly.

 As for how to find it, it’s actually very simple.

 The most magnificent and luxurious rooms naturally house the most noble people.

 When the two came to the door of the room, Ye Shuang stepped in naturally, as if he had passed through a false wall.

Zhou An found it quite miraculous, because he had rarely seen the methods of these Qi refiners.

 After entering the house, Zhou An also looked at this huge room.

 At this moment, there was only an old man in his sixties in the room.

The old man was dressed in silk and satin, but his posture was not what an old man should have.

He has a strong body and well-developed muscles. Even wearing this outfit, he looks as tall as a mountain.

 Especially the hands, which are covered with thick calluses.

 The most eye-catching thing is that there is a scar on the old man's face, from the corner of his eyebrow on the left side to his chin on the right side, adding a bit of a sinister look.

Ye Shuang said: "The people in Fuhu Villa practice the martial arts style. Their so-called martial arts are horizontal training methods, so the martial arts in their hands and body are very strong."

Zhou An nodded and read on patiently.

At this moment, the old man was sitting at the table, toasting and drinking.

Although his movements were smooth, it was difficult to hide the depth in his eyes, as if there was something unsolved on his mind.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a female voice came from outside the door.

“Master, everything you want has been brought here.”

Hearing this voice, the old manor owner put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a low voice: "Just leave it outside. Please step back first."

 “Yes, the owner of the village.”

There was a reply from outside the door, and soon, the footsteps gradually moved away.

At this time, the old owner stood up, came to the door, and opened the door.

 Outside the door, there was a wooden box, which looked ordinary.

The old manor owner didn’t stay too long outside the door. He carried the wooden box into the house and closed the door smoothly.

 The wooden box is more than half a person tall and looks like it contains something very heavy.

 At this time, the old owner was the only one left in the house.

Without any hesitation, the old owner opened the wooden box and revealed the contents.

Zhou An glanced at it, and then raised his brows slightly.

In the wooden box, there are various books placed. Some of the books look old and shabby, as if they will turn into a pile of dust when touched.

The old village owner picked up one of the books and read it carefully.

 Due to the angle, the cover of the book is facing Zhou An.

Zhou An came to the back like a leisurely stroll and read the words in the book.

 Ye Shuang also followed Zhou An, also bending down to look at him.

 Soon, the two of them finished reading the contents of the book.

 They looked at each other, unable to conceal the surprise in their eyes.

 What is written in this book is actually about various encounters in the psychic realm.

Moreover, the author of this book should be a master of the psychic realm, and he has listed some things encountered in the psychic realm one by one.

 Some people will write all the things they encounter in the psychic realm into a book for future generations to read, which is also considered an experience.

 But Zhou An looked at the current rhythm, and the wooden boxes should contain similar books.

As expected, that night, the old owner of the village was reading the books in the wooden box.

 The content in the book is also about various things encountered in the psychic space.

 Zhou An and Ye Shuang were beside them, and they gained a lot of knowledge.

 “He should want to learn from the experience so that he can gain something from it.” Zhou An said.

Ye Shuang nodded: "Actually, it's not very useful. Everyone's encounters in the psychic realm are very similar. Many of them in the space are random, and so far, the probability of similarities is too small. ”

This is true, but if you want to reach the psychic realm from the innate realm, it is actually beneficial to read more and understand more like the old village owner.

If you are lucky enough to encounter it, you will make a lot of money.

 “Keep reading.” Zhou An felt that the mystery was about to be solved.

 Then, days like this continued for many days.

 Until one day, the old owner finally read all the books.

 After reading it, the old village owner got up and went to a secret room in Fuhu Villa.

 Zhou An and Ye Shuang naturally followed.

 The secret room is large and very secret.

 Without a handwriting from Fuhu Villa, you cannot enter.

Moreover, it is full of dangers and full of secret passages.

 Fortunately, they were in this hallucination-like scene, so these things had no effect on them.

In the secret room, there was a huge stone bed. After the old owner came in, he sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and then began to attack the psychic realm.

 A soul power emanated from the body of the old manor owner, and soon filled the secret room.

Since the soul entered the psychic space, Zhou An and Ye Shuang couldn't see anything strange.

 The whole process probably took many days.

 In the past few days, Ye Shuang's rewind talisman has also begun to accelerate.

 In Ye Shuang’s words, time is not equal.

 Even if a lot of time has passed in the traceback talisman, not much time has passed in the outside world.

 Everything was normal these past few days, and nothing unusual happened, but Zhou An felt something was wrong.

 The spiritual bonus provided to him by reading hundreds of volumes allowed him to feel that the soul power filled in this secret room gradually became extremely intense.

 When the soul power reaches a certain level, it finally reaches a limit.

 The old owner of the village, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and his calm face became extremely crazy.
