Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 185 Like Rain or Snow

Even the major colleges do not have many cultivation techniques for thunder-type spiritual roots.

Although the thunder spiritual root is a mutated spiritual root, it is very difficult to cultivate successfully.

Moreover, the growth process of the thunder spirit root is very overbearing, and it may even cause the loss of other spirit roots and the host's Dantian, that is, the spirit sea. If the spirit sea is in disorder, it will cause the spirit energy to flow randomly and damage the tendons and veins.

However, once the thunder element spiritual root is cultivated, the attack power in the battle will be doubled. It can even fight against higher levels.

Whether this thunder spirit root is a blessing or a curse depends on how the guardian Yufan controls it in the future. The so-called opportunity is a personal destiny, and it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na waited for a long time, but no one came to pick them up.

The two waited until three o'clock in the morning before deciding to go to the place mentioned in the note.

Southeast, Tingyu Tower.

Liangcheng is not big, but not small either. Even if they knew the location of Tingyu Tower, it would take them some time to find it.

By the time the two of them found Tingyu Tower, it was almost dawn.

The rain was still falling and the sky was still gray.

They were both soaked and looked so miserable.

When they saw the words "Tingyu Tower", they smiled at each other and hurried forward to knock on the door.

The sound of knocks on the door broke the silence, and soon an impatient voice was heard.

Gatekeeper: "Come, come, I hear you. What time is it now? Can't you let me sleep?"

The man guarding the gate was an old man in his fifties or sixties. He wanted to scold them, but when he saw Wu Na and the others, he felt pity for them and held back.

Old man: "Who are you? What's the matter so late at night?"

Meng Xianyu: "Uncle, can we go in first to avoid the rain?"

Meng Xianyu remembered every word on the note, and Tingyu Tower was definitely right, but she didn't know who to look for after she got there. She could only think of a way to get in first.

Although they were in a mess, their clothes were clean and they looked like they were in trouble. The old man didn't say much and let them in.

The old man led them into a secluded room. The room was simple and looked very clean. Although the place was not big, it was enough for the two girls to rest here. Meng Xianyu was quite satisfied.

The old man said: "Although this place is a little remote, it is also quiet. You can just stay here for a while. Sit down and take a rest. I will call the old lady to boil some water for you."

Meng Xianyu: "It's already very good! Thank you, old man."

After the old man left, Wu Na and Meng Xianyu packed up simply.

Wu Na: "What should we do next? This place doesn't look like an ordinary inn. The price may not be cheap."

Meng Xianyu: "They left in such a hurry, they must have run into trouble. The only clue is this Tingyu Tower. We will wait for three days. If no one comes to find us within three days, we will set off."

Wu Na: "Okay, then three days. But we don't have much money left."

Meng Xianyu: "We still have some medicinal herbs left. Let's find a medicine shop to sell them tomorrow. Then we can see if there is anything we can pawn."

In fact, they both have a lot of treasures, including gold ingots. But they don't want to attract attention in such a small county town, lest they be targeted.

Wu Na: "Why not just pawn some jewelry first?"

Meng Xianyu: "Those jewelry of yours have extraordinary origins, and we won't be able to explain them clearly. Our current identity is just a girl collecting herbs in the valley. Such a heavy appearance, even if we take out one of them alone, it will cause quite a stir."

Wu Na actually understood all these principles. If they really did that, everything they had done before would be in vain. Wu Na believed in the abilities of those people in the temple.

But the feeling of having money but not being able to use it is really uncomfortable.

Meng Xianyu: "The old man just now seemed fine. Let's take a rest today. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

The two of them were already exhausted. The store owner quickly brought hot water, and the two of them simply washed up and went to bed.

Although this place was the one they had agreed upon before, the two of them still took precautions.

Before going to bed, the two checked the doors and windows, and then took detoxification pills. If they were really poisoned, it would relieve some of the symptoms and at least give them a chance to escape.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night. Apart from the sound of the drizzling rain, there was nothing else.

The two of them slept soundly, but after all, they were away from home and had things on their minds. They woke up one after another at dawn.

Meng Xianyu: "Are you asleep yet?"

Meng Xianyu asked while rubbing her eyes.

Wu Na: "Asleep, just woke up"

Wu Na's eyes became clearer, and it seemed that she had been awake for a while. But she was in good spirits.

Wu Na: "I have already adjusted my breathing."

Wu Na was afraid that Meng Xianyu would worry about her, so she quickly emphasized that her current condition was better than Meng Xianyu's.

Meng Xianyu: "That's good. Don't force yourself."

After all, Wu Na is protected by spiritual power, so a simple breathing exercise can be more effective than sleeping for a whole night.

Meng Xianyu was a little envious. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were a little swollen and there was even a pimple on her face.

The two of them had nothing to do so they walked around the Tingyu Tower carefully. After the whole circle, no one took the initiative to talk to them.

Wu Na: "Is there anything strange?"

Meng Xianyu: "Nothing unusual"

Except for the old man who was guarding the door and the old woman who brought them hot water yesterday, no one took the initiative to greet them.

In the Tingyu Tower, except for the two of them, everyone was busy. Everyone was doing their own job, and there was nothing special about it.

The two of them wandered around and no one stopped them.

They also knew their limits. If there were guards in some places, they would not force their way in without anyone telling them.

This Tingyu Tower is divided into two courtyards, front and back. The first floor of the front courtyard is open to the public, where you can read books, drink tea, and eat. The second floor is a private room, a good place for drinking tea, tasting wine, writing poems, and gatherings, which is very elegant. The third floor is the private place of the owner of the building. Only the owner can invite you to go there.

This backyard has guest rooms, warehouses, woodshed, and servants' quarters.

The backyard is not very big, with only about nine guest rooms, divided into three categories: A, B, and C.

Meng Xianyu and her friends lived in the most inconspicuous room No. 3, which was located at the edge of the building.

The two of them couldn't afford to live in Room C. It just so happened that Room C was a bit old, and the owner was preparing to renovate it.

Yesterday, the old man felt sorry for the two of them and let them stay there first.

The two of them were preparing to go to the pharmacy, but they were worried that Linlang's people would come looking for them, so they went to say hello to the old man.

Meng Xianyu: "Uncle, thank you for letting us two sisters have a place to stay last night."

Old man: "You are too polite, girl."

Meng Xianyu: "Don't worry, we won't stay here and we will pay you back as soon as possible. We still have some coins in our hands, you can keep them first."

Wu Na handed the copper coin to the old man.

The old man said: "Since you two sisters want to stay for a few more days, I will accept it first. These copper coins are for your accommodation for three days. I'm afraid it won't be enough after three days."

Meng Xianyu: "Why?"

Old man: "In three days, my master will return, and I'm afraid these rooms won't be enough for him."

Originally, Meng Xianyu and Wu Na had planned to leave in three days. Looking back, it was quite a coincidence.

Meng Xianyu: "Three days is enough, thank you very much, old man"

Old man: "Just call me Tongbo"

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, Uncle Tong, let's go out for a walk. My name is Xiaoyu and her name is Xiaoxue. If anyone comes looking for us, tell them to come back later."

Tong Bo: "Okay, don't worry Miss Rain!"

The two of them quickly left Tingyu Tower.

The two first went to the pharmacy to exchange medicinal materials, and then bought some cakes.

Meng Xianyu was in a good mood during the journey, eating cakes while walking. Wu Na, however, remained silent.

Meng Xianyu noticed that Wu Na was acting strangely and asked quickly.

Meng Xianyu: "What's wrong? Are you worried about people? Or are you worried about money?"

Wu Na: "Why am I Xiaoxue?"

Meng Xianyu just took a big bite of pastry and almost choked.

Meng Xianyu started coughing, and Wu Na quickly handed her some water.

Meng Xianyu coughed for a long time before she recovered.

Wu Na: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Meng Xianyu: "Are you depressed all the way because of this?"

Wu Na: "It's not that I'm depressed, I'm just confused."

Meng Xianyu: "Next time if you have something you can't figure out, don't waste time thinking about it. Just ask me directly, why waste time? You might as well practice with that time."

Wu Na nodded to show that she understood.

Meng Xianyu pulled her up and walked to a corner, saying, "You and I call each other sisters when we go out. It's safest to give ourselves identities. It doesn't matter if you are the elder sister or the younger sister. Our names should always be related to avoid so many loopholes. Your name is too unique."

Meng Xianyu was rarely so serious, she really tried to explain to Wu Na carefully.

Meng Xianyu: "Rain and Snow sound like a family. If someone asks you about this in the future, you can say that you were born from Xuetian, and you can call yourself Xiaoxue, and I was born from Yutian. This sounds quite real."

In fact, Meng Xianyu didn't think too much about it at the time. She just said it casually, but she didn't know that Wu Na really took it seriously. In this case, let them use this name for a while.

Meng Xianyu: "So, are you the elder sister or the younger sister?"

Wu Na: "Of course it's my sister"

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, Sister Xue. Then you are one year older than me. Your skin is whiter than snow, and you are beautiful. This name really suits you."

Wu Na's face turned red when Meng Xianyu praised her.

However, she remembered this day clearly. From now on, she will have a younger sister, and as an older sister, she will do her best to protect her sister Yu.

Meng Xianyu didn't know that the identity she casually arranged was so important to Wu Na. She also didn't know that Wu Na really remembered the identity of Sister Xue.

Rain moistens everything silently. Spring rain is the source of revival of all things.

Snow is pure and clean. Winter snow is the end of all things frozen.
