Chapter 112 Brother Zhous Opportunity

“Gulp…Gulp…”

Behind the boulder, the sound remains; the rolling lake, the clouds in the darkness.

“Da…da…”

The slow footsteps were light and cautious, and a white shadow circled the boulder and quietly moved behind it.

“It seems that there should be a pool of water behind this huge rock.” Senior Brother Zhou pondered in his heart, and his eyes gradually brightened.

In a short while, Senior Brother Zhou had completely circled the huge rock and looked over.

However, even if he used all his eyesight, he could only see about a few feet ahead and could not see clearly what was in front of him.

The clouds and mists swirling in the darkness were like wisps of vague and uncertain ghosts, completely devouring his spiritual consciousness and sight, giving him an extremely depressed feeling.

This situation made Senior Brother Zhou frown and his expression changed slightly.

At this moment, his eyes changed a little, and he was hesitating whether to go forward and take a closer look.

He hesitated for about half a minute, but in the end his curiosity prevailed; otherwise, he would have been unwilling to retreat like this.

Having made up his mind, he took another step forward.

In this way, when they walked forward about ten feet, they saw that Senior Brother Zhou’s whole body suddenly stopped, and his right foot, which had just stepped out, also completely froze.

I saw that Senior Brother Zhou’s face had changed drastically at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were fixed on the front, with a look of fear in his eyes, as if there was something terrible not far ahead.

Following his gaze, the fog ahead gradually thinned out, revealing a small lake below. Above the lake, a ghostly figure in red was sitting cross-legged, its long, disheveled hair completely covering its face.

This strange and sudden scene made Brother Zhou’s legs feel as if they were tied to a thousand-pound rock, making it impossible for him to move at all.

Especially the red figure in the small lake, whose appearance was very abrupt; it was floating and sitting on the water as light as a feather, and its face was completely obscured by its messy long hair, making it impossible to see clearly.

This extremely sudden situation made Senior Brother Zhou, who was not far away, feel like he was struck by lightning. His pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and even his heart froze for a moment.

At this moment, his eyes were dull and his heart was filled with horror: “This, this, what is this? A person? Is it a person? No, it’s impossible. How can there be someone here? What on earth is this?”

His entire body had begun to tremble slightly uncontrollably. Even though he had reached the level of Half-Step Peeping Yuan, he was still horrified when he suddenly encountered this situation.

Time passed slowly and quietly, and as time went by, Senior Brother Zhou gradually came back to his senses. The fear in his eyes had slowly faded away, but he still looked at the figure in front of him that seemed to be sitting on the water with some doubt.

In the darkness, the atmosphere was somewhat tense, with only the continuous “gurgling” sound; and Senior Brother Zhou kept his right foot slightly raised, which looked quite funny at first glance.

He stood there stiffly for about half a minute before he felt a little relieved; but looking at his expression, he still looked as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and it was obvious that he was still frightened.

“Gudong”

His throat rolled slightly, and Brother Zhou smacked his lips, feeling a little dry.

“You, you, what on earth are you?” What Senior Brother Zhou didn’t notice was that when he asked this question just now, his voice was very different from before, and he became stuttering.

However, in response to his question, the red-clothed figure on the surface of the lake in front of him did not move at all; it was as if it did not notice him at all, and continued to sit quietly, without a trace of breath around it.

Seeing the other party’s condition, Senior Brother Zhou gradually let go of his anxious heart.

After calming himself down, he took a few more steps forward and came to the edge of the small lake. Senior Brother Zhou continued to look carefully at it, and at the same time, he extended his spiritual sense to carefully sense the red-clothed figure on the surface of the lake.

After this close observation, he was finally able to confirm that the red-clothed figure on the lake was a human monk.

However, as he repeatedly explored with his spiritual sense, he could not sense any breath from the other party, which made Senior Brother Zhou secretly suspicious.

“Could it be that this human monk passed away here?” Suddenly, this thought popped up in his mind.

And as this idea grew in his mind, Senior Brother Zhou’s face, which was originally a little tense and even had a hint of horror on it, also began to smile slightly.

“Hehe… It seems that he has most likely passed away here.” Senior Brother Zhou stared at the red-clothed figure in front of him with joy in his eyes.

“Since the other party was able to float on the water without causing any ripples after his death, then his cultivation level during his lifetime… hehe… hahaha…” The more he thought about it, the happier he became, until he finally laughed out loud.

Because generally, the place where a high-level monk sits in meditation will leave behind some of his inheritance during his lifetime, or rare treasures such as magic weapons and elixirs, so that they can be passed down to people in the future who are destined to continue his inheritance.

There are countless examples like this in the world of cultivating immortals. Brother Zhou had fantasized in his heart before, hoping that one day he would be able to make a leap and ascend to heaven in one step.

He wanted to become someone admired by countless people, but he knew that the chance of this happening was very small; those who had this opportunity must have a solid backing or be blessed with great luck.

But now, I didn’t expect that I would actually run into him.

“Hahaha… This trip to the foggy land is really worth it.” His eyes were filled with ecstasy, and Brother Zhou’s face turned slightly red perhaps because of excitement.

His eyes were fixed on the ancient black ring on the left finger of the figure in front of him, and there was a bright light in his eyes.

Then Senior Brother Zhou sent out his spiritual sense again and sensed it carefully. After confirming that he could not sense any breath from the other party, he instantly became bolder.

He raised his head slightly and looked around, but all he saw was fog and darkness; however, since the fog here was much lighter than in other places, his vision could extend several feet away.

This phenomenon made Senior Brother Zhou feel slightly happy; however, despite this, the range that his spiritual sense could detect remained unchanged, still within the range of four or five meters.

He looked around and saw nothing unusual, then he fixed his gaze on the red figure on the surface of the lake.

He licked his lips subconsciously, then suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a stream of gray air instantly gushed out from his palm.

Then, the gray airflow quickly churned up as his fingers moved. Within a few breaths, the airflow had vaguely condensed into a gray belt half an inch wide.

Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Zhou raised the corner of his mouth and swung out his right arm violently; as he did so, the gray ribbon condensed in his hand also rolled towards the red-clothed figure on the surface of the lake.

“Huahua”

As his gray air belt passed by, the rolling water in the lake below was also stirred up by a strong wind, with some ripples.

However, when Senior Brother Zhou looked at the belt in his hand with a smile in his eyes and flew towards the figure, a scene that surprised him appeared.

It turned out that just when the gray gas belt was about to roll over Bu Gong’s body, a bright light suddenly flashed around Bu Gong in the lake.

It completely absorbed his belt made of pure gray airflow, without even causing the slightest ripple on Bu Gong’s clothes.

This somewhat unexpected situation also startled Senior Brother Zhou, who was standing at the edge of the lake.

He didn’t expect that the monk who had passed away in meditation had such a method to quietly dissolve his object-capturing technique.

Seeing this, the smile on Senior Brother Zhou’s face slowly faded, and his gaze towards the figure in the lake also changed rapidly.

With a flicker in his eyes, he suddenly raised his hands and snapped his ten fingers. Suddenly, tiny streams of light shot out from his fingertips and all shot towards the red figure on the surface of the lake.

Sure enough, when those rays of light were approaching Bu Gong’s body, they were all blocked by the bright light flashing around him.

Those strands of gray magic power were like a drop in the ocean when they encountered the dazzling light surrounding Bu Gong, unable to create even a single wave.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhou at the edge of the lake frowned.

This really stumped him. He was asked to personally approach the figure that he thought had already “passed away”. He was a little hesitant, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to do anything to the other party.

In response to this, Senior Brother Zhou quickly began to take things into consideration, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On the other hand, at this moment, Bu Gong was sitting quietly in the lake;

With the current strength of his spiritual sense, if it is fully deployed, he can detect the surrounding area forty to fifty feet away.

What’s more, Bu Gong has been awake for five or six days.

However, in the previous five or six days, he discovered that through his breathing, the clear water in this small lake actually had an excellent recovery effect on the injuries in his body.

This discovery made Bu Gong very happy, so he did not change the appearance he had when he woke up. He still kept the face-down position and used the water in the lake to recover from his extremely serious injuries.

Of course, the effect of the injury recovery was fully demonstrated in the next few days, and it was far beyond Bu Gong’s expectations.

Firstly, he practiced the supreme secret art of Shattering the Apertures and Nirvana Star Art, which was extremely effective for severely injured bodies; secondly, for some unknown reason, the water in this small lake had extremely strong healing effects.

Bu Gong even felt that after he used the water in this small lake to recover from his injuries, some hidden injuries and illnesses in his body that he had not even noticed were also slowly recovering.

Of course, during this process, Bu Gong would not forget to use the secret technique of breaking the orifices to enhance his own power.

Just now, when Senior Brother Zhou had just entered the range of his spiritual awareness, Bu Gong immediately noticed it.

Looking at the aura around the other person, he was only at the half-step Peeping Yuan realm, just a step away from the real Peeping Yuan realm; so he quickly sat up from the water, wanting to see what the other person was going to do.

Besides, he is now at a critical juncture. The Shattered Acupoints Nirvana Star Art in his body is running rapidly, continuously strengthening all the acupoints in his body.

Also, because he had used the Podan Yunshen Water to improve his strength, there was still a large amount of energy left in his body; therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to try to break through the Broken Acupoint Secret Technique to reach five times the acupoints.

Therefore, he did not come out of meditation immediately, but instead separated a part of his consciousness and carefully observed the outside world.

“Boom boom…”

The tremendous magical power roared through the meridians and acupoints. The extremely serious injuries in his body have now been fully recovered; and looking at the acupoints in his body, they are now like strong beating hearts.

The acupuncture points all over the body are beating in unison like stars in the sky.

Every time it contracts, a huge amount of energy will surge out from deep within his body, rushing into the acupoints and being absorbed by them.

Even so, there was not a single breath fluctuation leaking out from Bu Gong’s body.

Although Bu Gong on the surface of the lake was like this, Senior Brother Zhou at the edge of the lake had a frown on his face, with a hint of hesitation on his face, as if hesitating about something!
