The appearance of the new cultivation method only made Zhou Fu's days more plentiful.
Every night, the vicinity of Zhou Fu's courtyard could be said to be off-limits.
Under the moonlight, there were a few braziers in the courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard, a white figure kept flashing and moving within a radius of ten feet.
From afar, it looked like a ghost in white was trapped in the middle of the braziers. It kept struggling and bumping around. How could the timid servants withstand this?
Zhou Fu was too lazy to explain. In his eyes, increasing his proficiency was the most important.
Although Zhou Fu didn't mind the matters in the courtyard, Zhou Dacai was having a headache.
Seven days later, Zhou Dacai called Zhou Fu into the study room.
"Kid, although I know you're practicing martial arts, can you do it during the day?
Do you know what's been going on in the residence recently?
The servants are all saying that your courtyard is haunted!
It was better a few days ago, you knew to light a brazier.
What's going on these two days?
You don't even light a brazier?
An old man in the residence was almost scared to death by you! "
Zhou Fu chuckled, "Don't worry Dad, I'll practice during the day from now on.
Oh right, didn't I ask the residence to make a courtyard for me to practice martial arts?
Why isn't there any movement? "
After a few days of hard work, Phantom Moon Movement Technique was leveled up to level 20 by Zhou Fu.
After leveling up, the difficulty of increasing his proficiency increased by a lot.
Previously, he could increase his proficiency by more than two hundred points in two hours. Now, it was only a little more than one hundred.
Something that could be done with hard work now needed a month to level up.
Therefore, Zhou Fu could only add it to his daily missions and slowly grind it out.
Zhou Dacai rolled his eyes, "Why are you still making room? Didn't you say that you want to move to Ning An? We've been busy recently."
Move to Ning An?
Zhou Fu instantly widened his eyes. He really didn't expect that he could persuade Zhou Dacai to move.
One must know that this meant that the Zhou family would give up their connections in Heyang City and their shop business. This was a huge loss.
"Dad, when did you become enlightened? You actually agreed to move."
Zhou Dacai rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by enlightened?
According to some of the things you've told me in the past few days, I've sent someone to take a look.
The Black Mountain Stronghold is no more. It was burned to the ground. "
At this point, Zhou Dacai took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, calming himself down.
"On their training grounds, there are over a thousand burnt corpses.
The tragedy of the scene is indescribable! "
At this moment, a trace of fear flashed across Zhou Dacai's face. He looked at Zhou Fu and said, "You're a lucky kid. You're worthy of the name I gave you.
If that day you … after that, you had gone to the Black Mountain Stockade to look for Zhou Ji, perhaps your father would have had to send off his son. "
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Fu's heart skipped a beat.
Although he was very confident in his own strength, and even had the courage and confidence to barge into the Black Mountain Stronghold, when it came to killing over a thousand people, that was simply unrealistic.
Sighing, Zhou Dacai rolled his eyes at his son again and said, "You kid, don't think that just because you learned some martial arts, you'll rush into things on a whim.
In the path of cultivation, there's always a mountain higher than the one before. There will always be some old … uh, old seniors. You have to have a respectful heart.
It's not shameful to be a coward. At least there's hope when you're alive. "
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fu sized up Zhou Dacai strangely.
"Father, do you also know martial arts?"
"I don't know shit. These are the principles of life. You'd better remember them well."
After all this time, he was preaching. No wonder it sounded so strange yet familiar.
"I understand, I understand.
Then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. "
Zhou Dacai waved his hand weakly. He felt that ever since Zhou Fu started practicing martial arts, his brain had not been very good, although it was not much better in the past.
"Scram. Be quiet for the next few days. Something happened in the city and it's not very peaceful. If you have nothing to do, don't wander around. In a month or so, we'll be leaving."
"Oh, okay, I got it."
Out of the study, Zhou Fu was still muttering.
Something happened?
Not very peaceful?
How was it not peaceful?
After a few steps, he met the butler, Old Ma.
Zhou Fu called out to him.
"Uncle Ma."
Old Ma was stunned and quickly said, "Young master, you're too serious. What's the matter?"
"Has anything happened in the city recently?"
"The city?"
Old Ma thought for a moment and said, "There have been several murder cases in the city recently. The authorities are investigating."
Murder cases?
Zhou Fu frowned.
If it was just a murder case, then Zhou Dacai would not have mentioned it.
However, since it was mentioned, there must be a problem.
Zhou Fu continued to ask, "Are there any characteristics of these murders?"
"Characteristics?
Yes. "
Speaking of this, Old Ma's face became pale and ugly.
"It's just that the thief is particularly cruel and can be said to be inhumane.
Every time he killed a person, he would empty the person's internal organs and cut the body into pieces. Blood splattered everywhere.
I heard that several officers who handled the case vomited. "
Officers vomited?
Was it that cruel?
Zhou Fu nodded. He guessed that it was done by a cultivator with a perverted hobby.
…
Three days later, Zhou Fu, who was sitting cross-legged, trembled. In his body, the pale golden internal force ran through the second meridian.
As the meridian was connected, his Qi and blood also boiled.
A feeling of soreness, itchiness, and pain came from all parts of his body.
"Damn, I haven't leveled up yet. What's going on?"
The strange feeling was really unbearable. Zhou Fu got up.
Crack!
Crack!
With the sound of bones cracking, Zhou Fu's figure instantly grew bigger.
He was originally 1.8 meters tall, but now he had grown another notch.
Coupled with the exaggerated muscles on his body, he exuded a fierce aura.
As his body grew larger, the negative statuses on his body also disappeared.
Instead, it was a feeling of smoothness.
It was like waking up naturally in the morning after the rain. Facing the morning sun, he took a deep breath and his whole body was full of energy.
Zhou Fu raised his hand and struck.
Whoosh ~
A strong wind rolled up.
He opened his eyes wide in excitement.
At this moment, he clearly felt that his strength and Qi and blood had increased by as much as three levels compared to before.
If he met a seriously injured Hou Rong at this time, he was confident that he could kill the other party with one punch.
As for Hou Rong in his peak state, uh … he had never seen him and didn't know.
"I really want to test how strong I am."
At present, Zhou Fu only knew that his strength was great and his Qi and blood were very strong.
But he didn't know how strong he was.
There was no reference standard.
"This is equivalent to walking in the night with silk clothes."
After sighing for a while, Zhou Fu was worried again.
There was no other reason than his size.
"What should I do?
I've only broken through the second meridian, and I've already grown half a head.
If I have to wait until I've broken through the twelfth meridian, won't I become a monster? "
Just as he was worrying, his mind suddenly moved.
In Zhou Fu's sea of consciousness, the Buddha's shadow became clearer. Its hands were forming hand seals.
He looked at it carefully. It was the Wisdom King's Fearless Seal.
Zhou Fu's fingers moved quickly, and the Wisdom King's Fearless Seal was formed in an instant.
A trace of coldness spread from between his eyebrows.
"Oh, this feels like I'm wearing tights."
Zhou Fu's body slowly returned to its original size, but he didn't feel very good.
"Forget it, can I … hmm?"
A feeling of palpitations suddenly appeared. He covered his chest and walked out of the room.
In the courtyard, Zhou Fu looked up at the night sky.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"This … this is?!"
