Chapter 438 Sun Stone

Chapter 438 Sun Stone

"I thought of that just now."

Listening to Ahri's words, Akali said thoughtfully: "As soon as we came down the mountain, he won the second prize. Doesn't this match his wish?"

After all, Lu Qi's wish is to get a lot of money.

One thousand gold coins is already a lot.

Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "It's also possible, but what if it's just my luck?"

Akali glanced at him: "Do you believe this?"

The probability of this kind of coincidence happening is extremely low, but if it does happen, it's definitely not just luck.

Ahri asked: "Shouldn't it be a good thing to pray for something to happen?"

"That's true, but" Akali wanted to say something, but shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it, let's not dwell on this for now, I'm already hungry."

She felt that the spiritual revelation was too fast, but after thinking about it, it was a good thing. After all, Lu Qi had spent a thousand gold coins in vain.

The three of them did not intend to go back directly at this moment. After all, they went out to buy ingredients.

So I turned a few streets and went to the market in the town. There were many fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats in different areas.

"Just buy whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Lu Qi, who won the grand prize, showed great pride, and the three of them entered the village like rich people.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Akali rushed towards the meat area with a quick stride, her eyes shining.

As a carnivorous girl, it can be said that she has never eaten a serious meat meal since leaving the Kinkou Sect.

"I'm going to pick out some vegetables. You can choose whatever you want to eat. We'll meet up later."

Lu Qi looked at Ahri and said, handed her some money, and when she nodded, he turned and walked towards the vegetable area.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Ahri thought that she could eat whatever she wanted. After all, anything tasted delicious as long as it was made by Lu Qi.

But there was nothing to do at the moment, so I wandered around.

There was a faint scent of incense floating in the air, covering up the various odors in the market. There are noisy people around, and when she is alone among the crowd, Ahri always feels out of place.

She has not forgotten that her true face is still a monster in people's eyes.

Although both Lu Qi and Akali regard her as a normal person, Ahri herself cannot escape this shadow.

More importantly, she has been worried that one day she will hurt them because her ability is out of control.

Sighing with a heavy heart, Ahri inexplicably thought of the prayer just now and couldn't help but take out two stones.

It is said to be a stone, but it is as crystal clear as a gem. The shape of a single stone is like a ball of flame, but the clever carving allows the sharp spines to bite each other, forming a perfect orb that fits together tightly.

These are things that have been with her since she was born, but Ahri still doesn’t know their origins. She only knows that they may be related to her life experience.

She desperately wants to know where she comes from. Only in this way can she truly understand herself.

Unknowingly, she walked to a stall and stopped.

On the stall, dozens of baskets were filled with all kinds of small items. There are smooth and round pebbles, shells with nautical legends engraved on them, dice carved from oracle bones, and other novel things.

The stall owner was an elderly man, sitting on the ground and dozing off.

Perhaps sensing someone coming to the stall, he opened his eyes, but his attention was attracted by the twin gems held in Ah Li's hands.

"This is."

He rubbed his eyes, as if remembering something: "It's really rare. I didn't expect to see the Sun Stone in my lifetime."

Ah Li was slightly startled. When she heard the word Sun Stone, she seemed to feel some kind of omen. There seems to be something in my heart that is ready to come out, and desire arises spontaneously.

"You know this thing?"

She couldn't help but ask.

"They say we know each other, but actually this is the first time we've met." The old man expressed his humility, and then said with interest: "Can I take a look?"

Ahri hesitated for a moment, then handed over the twin gems.

After the old man took it, he carefully placed it on a piece of red cloth. Under the sunlight, the sun stone exuded wonderful colors.

Then he took out a tool similar to a magnifying glass, looked closer, and said to himself.

"That's right, it's the Sun Stone."

He made sure.

Ah Li quickly asked: "Where did they come from?"

"To be honest, this is also the first time I have seen a real object, but I don't know the specific origin."

The old man returned the sun stone to Ah Li and shook his head slightly.

"Okay." Ahri sighed with some disappointment, and then asked, "How did you recognize them?"

"This goes back to my grandfather's grandfather or even longer." The old man sat idle, and then slowly said, "During the glorious period of my ancestors, my family used to be jewelers. They have been wandering around the land of birth. , collecting jewelry that has never been seen before.

Naturally, there will be relevant records, and the inheritance has been preserved from generation to generation, but as you can see, by my generation, the family fortune has declined.

I have been interested in these things since I was a child and have been studying them for some years. This sun stone is the orb that has disappeared from the records for a long time.

The method of identification is this exquisite craftsmanship. When the two sun stones are put together, even the slightest gap seems to disappear. There is no similar orb in the world. If my eyesight was poor, I might not be able to recognize it.

They are called sun stones because they have the effect of absorbing sunlight to naturally charge and preserve it. It has a hard texture and is not easily damaged, making it of great value.

A long time ago, it was priceless.

That's all I know, but I'm curious as to how this young lady came to have such a quality sunstone. "

When the old man finished speaking, a trace of curiosity appeared on his face, as if he wanted to explore the origin of the Sun Stone.

Ah Li said: "This is what my parents left me."

Her heart was trembling slightly, because the sun stone could naturally absorb and store energy just as the old man said.

And it is very hard, and ordinary methods will not leave even a scratch.

"Really, I didn't expect that there are still sun stones in the world today." The old man looked at Ahri and advised, "You must keep it safe. This may be the last pair of sun stones in the world."

As soon as his words fell, Ah Li's heart felt inexplicably empty.

The last pair.

The longing for life in her heart grew wildly like a giant tree that was born.

Why did it become the last couple?

And why did it disappear so long ago?

Who are her parents?

Where are her people?

Why does she appear in this world?

Ah Li bit her lip lightly, a variety of complicated emotions welling up in her heart.

"Ahri, what are you doing here?"

At this time, Akali's voice came from not far away. She was walking with the beaten meat on her back. It was strange to see Ahri in a daze in front of a stall.

On the other side, Lu Qi also came over carrying dishes.

Ah Li came to his senses, took out a few gold coins from his arms, and placed them on the old man's stall: "Thank you for answering my question. I have always wanted to know the origin of these gems."

The old man quickly waved his hand and said: "This is too much money, you can take it back. If it doesn't work, you can choose another basket of items and go."

"Then I'll choose this basket." Ahri wanted to leave directly, but seemed to feel the old man's embarrassment and finally chose a basket of small objects.

Then he left.

"Why are you buying these? You can find them all along the river and seaside."

Akali looked at the pile of small items Ahri bought and felt that she must have been cheated.

"That old man just now."

Ah Li slowly explained to the two of them what had just happened.

"Sunstone?" Akali frowned slightly after hearing this, "I really haven't heard of it, so this sunstone is related to your life experience?"

"Yeah." Ahri nodded slightly.

This made Akali gradually feel that something was wrong, and she frowned: "Is it such a coincidence? I remember that you were praying for news about your life experience, weren't you?"

Ah Li was slightly startled and thought of this at this time.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a bit of a coincidence.

Especially after Lu Qi won the lottery.

Could it be two coincidences in a row?

But what is the probability of encountering such a thing?

After thinking about it, Akali said, "Is it possible that the mountain god really took action?"

"I can only say that it is highly likely."

Lu Qi nodded slightly, and the huge mountain god statue flashed through his mind again, and it seemed inexplicably familiar.

Then he thought about the sense of voyeurism he had felt since entering the mountain temple.

If you think about it for a moment, you will realize that this matter is not simple.

But right now, I don’t know what the mountain god is up to. But Lu Qi didn't believe it if he didn't do anything famous.

He is not in a hurry and is ready to wait and see.

Ah Li suggested: "How about we go back again?"

The reason why she wanted to go back was because she felt that the mountain god might know information about her life experience.

"What are you going back for? That Gu Wu has made it very clear. Obviously you two are the destined people of the Mountain God. I'm quite curious about his criteria for defining the destined people."

Akali glanced back in the direction of the mountain temple and continued: "But I think even if I ask, I may not get the answer. After all, these places always make secrets and go around."

She knew this too well. No one in this kind of temple or sect spoke human language.

Lu Qi then said: "We are not in a hurry to leave. Since there are clues about your life experience here, it doesn't hurt to stay for two more days."

"Yeah." Ahri nodded, knowing that even being anxious for a moment would be of no use.

It's already afternoon.

The three of them returned to the small courtyard they had rented earlier, and Lu Qi started to light the fire and cook. After a while, the courtyard was filled with fragrance, which aroused the greed in the stomachs of the two girls.

After a pleasant meal, the three of them went about their business.

Akali has entered a state of cultivation, and the physical training looks quite strenuous.

Lu Qi, on the other hand, was lying lazily. The sunshine in this season was not scorching at all, and the warmth was shining on his body, as if he was wearing a blanket, which was very comfortable.

Ahri held the Sun Stone and started researching it. Even though she had been studying it for countless days and nights, after getting new clues, she always felt that there was something she didn't know about the Sun Stone.

As she poured the magic power in her body into the Sun Stone, she could feel it being mobilized. In addition, she could also sense the vast white blank space inside the Sun Stone.

Nothing at all.

Her ears drooped slightly, telling of her frustration.

But soon, Ahri cheered up again. After all, what was different from before was that she now had new clues.

Sun Stone.

Next, we will use this as the investigation target and continue to investigate.

Sooner or later, she will find out about her life experience.

Time passed and it was early morning the next day.

Akali opened her eyes from the bed. The quality of her sleep these days was surprisingly good, and she slept peacefully every time.

But what was different from the past few days was that she felt like her body was different.

Suddenly getting up from the bed, Akali raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and then showed a strange look in her eyes.

After changing her clothes, Akali came outside the hospital.

In the early morning, Guyuan Town is shrouded in a thin mist. Standing in the courtyard, you can feel a little coolness and the morning dew.

After getting ready, Akali took a deep breath and jumped directly on the spot.

This random jump was several meters high, and it was extremely easy and effortless.

At this moment, she felt as light as a swallow, and her whole body felt much more relaxed.

Moreover, if she felt right, she was much stronger.

After making this discovery, Akali immediately woke up Lu Qi and Ahri, and then told the two of them what had happened.

"So you think you're getting stronger?"

Lu Qi yawned and sat on the chair a little sleepily and asked.

Seeing his laziness, Akali was quite speechless, and then she nodded and said, "Yes!"

Lu Qi yawned again: "Illusion."

Akali suddenly raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "How can I still feel that my body is wrong?"

"Stop talking, let me test your ingredients."

Lu Qi slouched, stood up from his seat, and said casually: "Hit me as fast as you can."

Akali narrowed her eyes and looked at him, her whole body full of fighting spirit, a bit gearing up: "This is what you said."

Lu Qi nodded and said confidently: "Come on."

After saying that, Akali's figure had disappeared from the spot, and her pink fist hit Lu Qi's handsome face, leaving no hand behind.

She's been wanting to do this for a long time!

It just so happened that she also wanted to find someone to see how much stronger her own strength had become after the change.

Could he already be better than this guy?

Akali burst out at full speed and was in front of Lu Qi in an instant. She was sure that others would not be able to catch her punch easily.

However, although this punch was fast, Lu Qi's expression did not change at all. He swayed and dodged lightly.

"Take the punch!"

Akali's fist was empty, but she was not discouraged. She gave a sweet shout and punched several times in an instant.

Although she is good at using hooks, sickles and hidden weapons, she has also been trained in close combat with bare hands since she was a child.

However, Lu Qi still dodged these several consecutive attacks by moving left and right. Throughout the process, his movements were elegant and his hair was not messy.

Akali took advantage of the situation and kicked out again, but the kick still missed. She continued with several moves, and for a long time, she didn't even touch Lucci.

This made her a little angry, and her attacks became more ferocious, but the attacks hit the air.

In Ahri's eyes, this scene felt like an adult teasing a child.

Finally, when Akali was about to hold back an explosion, Lucci took action.

He grabbed Akali's punch with his backhand and pulled it toward his chest. This unexpected move caused Akali to lose balance at her feet, and the next second she was thrown away by a powerful force.

She stabilized her posture in mid-air, gritted her teeth, and stepped on the wall. She shot towards Lu Qi like an arrow from a bow, and kicked out in mid-air.

Faced with this powerful blow, Lu Qi just raised his left arm to block it, then grabbed her slender and tender calf with one hand and swung it hard again.

This time Akali flew higher and felt like the world was spinning. This feeling was even worse than her attack being dodged.

"do not fight!"

She landed safely on the ground, screamed angrily, and was not ready to continue.

Even Ahri next to him could see that Lu Qi didn't do anything serious at all.

If she continued to fight, she would be asking for trouble.

"The strength has indeed changed, and the strength and speed have increased." Lu Qi had finished testing at this time and said truthfully.

Akali was not happy at all. She was out of breath after working hard for a long time, so she sat down and poured a glass of water.

She can clearly feel the change in strength, which means that the improvement is quite considerable.

However, despite this, he was still no match for Lu Qi.

How strong is this guy?

Akali glanced at Lu Qi while drinking water, feeling completely invisible.

After drinking the water, she said: "In this way, all three of our wishes have come true."

How can something like strength suddenly increase for no reason? It means that the mountain god must have used some method.

Lu Qi nodded: "Indeed."

Akali then said: "What do you think about this? I feel a little strange. Is this mountain god so kind-hearted?"

With just the word "destined", the wish comes true?

It's too easy to take advantage, but it makes people unable to stop thinking about it.

It's like meeting a kind-hearted person you don't know before on the roadside. He suddenly enthusiastically hands you a bag of money, then turns around and walks away.

Can you safely accept this bag of money?

It’s not safe to hold!

At this time, Lu Qi started to prepare breakfast in a hurry, while saying: "After breakfast, we will go there again and we will find out."

Akali and Ahri both had the same idea.

Soon, the three of them finished their breakfast and set off directly towards the mountain temple.

Early in the morning, there were already many people going to the mountain to worship, but it was less than yesterday at noon.

The mountain mist floats around the mountain temple, giving it a somewhat mysterious feel.

The three of them entered the mountain temple, and Gu Wu, who they had seen yesterday, quickly took the initiative to look for him as if they had expected it.

"Three of you, we meet again."

Gu Wu smiled and bowed slightly to say hello.

I have something to do tonight and I have to go out. There is one more update, which will be updated tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow's two updates will also be updated on time.

I may have been a little lazy recently, mainly because I was thinking about the plot behind it and haven’t figured out how to develop it yet, so I may be writing a little slower.

There is also a bit of habitual water injection.

Next, I will try to avoid moisture!
