Mortal practice

After Su Jue finished his lunch, he sat on the spot and closed his eyes to meditate.

He felt that the primordial energy in his body could start to function. Although it could only be mobilized very slowly, it was better than none at all.This can be regarded as thanks to Zhong Rui.

When I first met this boy, I felt that it would be a great hindrance to my practice in this world, but not thinking about it was a great help.After all, he is a student who has not yet stepped into the society, with a pure heart, as long as he grasps the method well, he can easily eliminate the other party's bad feelings and have a sincere friendship with him.

Over the past few days, he could already feel that the other party had let go of all defenses against him, and as long as Su Jue was willing, he could already choose to go to the next world.

It's just that Su Jue has no such plan for the time being.

He frowned, always feeling that since he recovered his energy not long ago, there has been a resentment surrounding them.After being able to use Yuanli, he is very sensitive to this emotion. He had contact with it in the original world, and he almost suffered a big loss because he let down his vigilance.

This kind of feeling has actually happened on the basketball court before, but the resentment at that time was too weak, far less intense than it is now. There may also be the problem of his cultivation base being suppressed in this world without aura, but in the final analysis, the bigger possibility is What kind of stimulation did the owner of the resentment receive during this time period, causing the resentment to double.

He didn't have the ability to perceive who the resentment was aimed at, he just felt that it was this area, but if he wanted to relate to the incident on the basketball court a few days ago...

Su Jue glanced at Zhong, who was twirling the basketball on his fingertips, and frowned insignificantly.

I hope he thinks too much. He doesn't want anything to happen to Zhong Rui. After all, the other party can be said to have helped him a lot. Su Jue has always paid attention to cause and effect in his actions. At this time, Zhong Rui is kind to him. It was necessary for him to help him one last time.

"You like basketball so much?" Su Jue asked what he had been wanting to ask since just now.

"Don't you know that I'm the main force of our basketball team?" Zhong Rui raised his eyebrows.

"Basketball is fun?"

Zhong Rui almost choked on his own saliva, he stopped what he was doing, and looked at Su Jue in disbelief: "Have you ever hit?"

Of course, Su Jue himself has never played basketball. Before he came to this world, he didn't even know what basketball was, but there was no scene in his memory where he played basketball, so he also knew that knowing how to play basketball is not too unusual. It just became very strange in Zhong Rui's eyes.

So he shook his head calmly.

Sure enough, Zhong Rui didn't ask any more questions, but said regretfully: "You were so good at shooting just now, but last time you blocked the rock so fast, you look very athletic. It's a pity not to play."

Su Jue looked at his eyes shining when he mentioned basketball, and blinked in puzzlement.

From childhood to adulthood, everything he did was cultivation practice, just like when the elder asked him if he had any hobbies, he couldn't answer a single word.

Yes, it was also difficult for him to understand Zhong Rui's love for basketball.

By coincidence, he asked the question that the elders asked himself before: "Have you ever had any goals?"

Zhong Rui glanced at him inexplicably: "Yes, how can a person not have a goal?"

Su decided to make sure he was human.

Seeing Su Jue's delicate expression, Zhong Rui continued: "My goal when I was young was to be a sports star, which is what I could see on TV, like Yao Ming...Yao Ming, you know?"

Su Jue nodded.Actually he didn't know.

"But when I grew up, I found that it was too unreliable. My family had no money to afford me to pursue this unrealistic dream. I just wanted to study hard, get admitted to a first-class university, get a scholarship, and give money to my family. It’s not bad to fight for breath.”

Su Jue frowned: "Then why do you want to go abroad?"

"You can learn more knowledge if you go abroad for further study. The reality is that you can earn more money. Since I first entered university, my family has encouraged me to take this opportunity. I don't know halfway..." Zhong Rui said Stopped here.

He thought to himself that he was getting more and more stupid. Isn't it the guy in front of him who asked him why he wanted to go abroad with a naive expression?I actually talked to him happily for so long...

Su Jue saw that his mood suddenly became a little strange, and also realized that he asked in the wrong direction.

Although it was the original owner's fault, but he took over the original owner's body, he still has to bear the blame after all.

At such an awkward moment, the atmosphere fell into silence.

"Well, it's all over anyway, and I don't plan to think about it anymore."

Zhong Rui laughed, seeing Su Jue wanted to say something but couldn't say it, smiled and said: "If you want to apologize, that's fine, you have nothing to apologize to me, even if I was dissatisfied with you before , don’t you let go now?”

Su Jue actually didn't want to apologize, he never apologized for what he didn't do, he just wanted to comfort the other party, but he didn't know how to do it at all.

After all, as a person who only knows how to cultivate since childhood, it is rare for him to have such a heart to comfort others, and you can't expect him to say any high-level comforting words, right?

**************************************************

Everyone has been traveling until five o'clock in the afternoon. It is summer at this time. Although it is still bright, they are too tired to move when they reach the place where they set up camp. Finally, the squad leader picked a few who looked strong and healthy. The boys went to do the drudgery to get ready for dinner.

Their dinner is no longer a barbecue, but an ordinary picnic.

Su Jue stood there and didn't hear anyone calling him for a long time, so he sat aside with peace of mind and closed his eyes to rest his mind.Thinking about it, the original owner must have been used to being arrogant in the class, how could anyone dare to order him?

Zhong Rui was different, he was honorably assigned the task of collecting firewood.

Zhong Rui didn't complain about this, he looked around, picked a mountain road at random, and walked in.

When it felt like it was almost done, Zhong Rui was just about to walk back with the bundle of firewood when he suddenly heard a boy's voice not far away: "Student Zhong Rui?"

Um?Who called him?

Zhong Rui turned his head and saw a young boy wearing a peaked cap. Because it was dark in the forest, he couldn't see clearly.

"You are……"

"I'm in the English class. You probably don't know me... I just lost my way in the woods, and it took me a long time to find this way. Fortunately, I ran into you."

Zhong Rui snorted, and said: "The terrain here is complicated, you should be careful when walking, it's better not to get out of the main force, this place is not far from the camp, and it won't take long to get there, can you come with me?"

"Wait a minute..." The other party hesitated: "I need your help with something. I lost my wallet here. Can you help me find it?"

Zhong Rui thought to himself that this person is also quite unlucky, he lost his way and lost his wallet.

He put down the firewood, and walked over: "Where did you fall?" Actually, this question was just asking, if the other party really knew where it fell, would they ask him for help?

As expected, the boy lowered his head and said, "I only remember that I lost it in this area. I don't know where it is."

Zhong Rui bent down and searched with some nerve-wracking nerves.

"It seems to be a little further ahead."

"I said..." Zhong Rui walked forward, while continuing to look around with his head down: "You have to help find it yourself... Ouch!"

Reluctantly, he stepped on a steep slope. Just now because the bushes were dense and he was busy talking, he didn't notice it, and almost fell down.Zhong Rui patted his chest with lingering fear.

The boy's footsteps approached, and he said in a flustered tone, "I'm sorry, I just took a look at it."

"I said you, didn't you come from this kind of place just now?" Zhong Rui was suspicious and asked angrily.

"Sorry, I seem to have misremembered."

Zhong Rui suddenly felt that the last sound of the other party was not quite right. Just as he was about to ask something, there was a huge thrust from his back. Zhong Rui really stepped on the ground this time. Fell down a steep slope.

What the hell!

It was only then that Zhong Rui realized that he had been calculated by someone, and the fragmented jersey and basketball a few days ago flashed through his mind, as well as the stone that almost cost him half his life, and he secretly regretted why he did it because of In the past few days, the other party has let down his vigilance without any movement.

But at least at this juncture, he still kept in mind the teachings in the book, and tightly covered his head with his hands.

Even so, when he rolled down, he still felt like his whole body was torn apart by something, as if he had rubbed against some sharp stone, and finally slammed into a tree hard.

Zhong Rui felt a sharp pain in his stomach, which made him want to vomit, and felt that his internal organs were about to be turned out, but fortunately, he stopped the tendency to continue rolling down.

Zhong Rui fell to the ground, groaning (?) in pain a few times, and it took him a long time to barely become conscious.

I really have no strength now, I'd better wait until I recover, and then get up and seek help...

The severe pain in his stomach and legs made it difficult for him to breathe. He touched his trouser pocket, and the phone fell out on the way, but there was another thing in his hand, which was pushed by him. When he came down, he subconsciously grabbed the wristwatch that was torn off by the opponent's hand. He carefully identified it, but he couldn't recognize who it was. This wristwatch can be bought casually in the market, and it cannot be inferred based on its value.

He looked drowsily at the darkened sky, forced a wry smile from the corner of his mouth, and thought, this is the price of betraying himself for a month's breakfast...

……

Su Jue glanced at the darkening sky, frowning tightly.

The people around had already gathered together, all of them were full of worries, and various speculations echoed in the crowd.

The reason is that two hours have passed and everyone is here except Zhong Rui.

Su Jue regretted that he didn't go with Zhong Rui just now - he was careless after all, he thought it was just a matter of picking up firewood for 5 minutes, and he didn't feel any danger, so he didn't know that something happened in these 5 minutes.

"Let's go look for it in the woods together?" the squad leader suggested.

"I disagree." A boy wearing glasses shook his head and said, "It's getting dark now, and the mountains are very dangerous. We'd better wait, or wait until the rescue team arrives."

"It's just because it's getting dark, don't you think it's more dangerous for Zhong Rui to be alone in the mountains! Do you have any sympathy?" Liu Ning said angrily while staring at the boy with red eyes.

The boy choked for a moment. He felt that he was just making a rational analysis and making a reasonable suggestion, but why was he being targeted, so he couldn't help curling his lips secretly.

He also thought that Zhong Rui was not very pleasing to the eye, relying on studying all day long to pretend to be aloof, but he was not very useful at critical moments, and he was so laborious when something happened-he didn't believe that the other party could do anything besides getting lost. Something else will happen.

Such a small emotion was naturally seen by Su Jue. He glanced at the people with different expressions around him, and thought that this kind of time is really the best time to see the sincerity of ordinary people.

In the end, the class organized more than a dozen healthy boys to find someone, leaving some of them in the camp.

Su Jue followed naturally, and the group searched in the mountains while calling Zhong Rui's name loudly, but there was no response at all.

Su Jue walked at the end of the line and frowned secretly.

This forest is too big, and the hope of finding it like this is slim.

A group of people searched for a long time, but they didn't dare to go far. The crowd became agitated. After a while, a boy suggested that we should go back and wait for the rescue team to come, which was approved by most people.

Those people discussed for a while, then turned around and chose another way back, and continued to search, but if they couldn't find it, it could only be said that they had done their best. Everyone followed spontaneously, and no one noticed that they were walking at the end all the time. Su Jue in front of him stopped.

Su Jue looked at a nearby bush and frowned.
