I've already ascended to immortality, and only now is spiritual energy reviving?

Wild grass sprouted from under the stone slab and grew taller than a person.

Bai Sheng had his clone walk around the ruins once.

Perception spread out, sweeping over every inch.

however,

There were no unusual energy fluctuations beneath the ruins.

The clone casually parted a clump of bushes, revealing a pile of rubble.

Bai Sheng was about to sit down and rest for a while.

A very faint sound of a branch snapping came from behind me.

Turning around,

Under the pine tree, about ten steps away,

A woman in her thirties or forties, wearing a floral short-sleeved shirt, stood quietly.

He was carrying a bamboo basket.

He smiled at his clone.

"I was picking wild vegetables over there when I saw someone walking this way."

No outsiders have come here for a long time.

"Are you looking for that old temple?" She emerged from under the pine tree.

Bai Sheng looked in the direction of the sound.

The woman emerged from under the pine tree, carrying a bamboo basket.

A floral print short-sleeved shirt stretched across her body.

The two buttons at the collar were undone, revealing two mounds of snow-white skin.

"Oh, so you really are from the city."

I saw you at the village entrance just now; you're quite handsome, and even more so up close.

Bai Sheng: "..."

If it were any other time,

Bai Sheng couldn't help but make a few flirtatious remarks, but considering the importance of today's mission,

Moreover, what was sent was only a clone.

The clone's face is so realistically crafted that it's completely different from the real person.

It doesn't seem very interesting.

She placed the bamboo basket on the bluestone slab, raised her hand to tidy her hair.

Bai Shengrang's clone nodded and politely said, "Hello."

"Hello?" The beautiful woman repeated the greeting, laughing heartily.

"College students speak so politely, huh?"

"Sis, do you know if there are any glowing stones around here?"

Yes, there is.

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "I have some in my warehouse. Would you like to come back with me and take a look?"

Bai Sheng: "..."

Seeing that the village woman was chatting in a rather unserious manner, Bai Sheng simply stopped pretending.

It would definitely take some effort to get this village woman to show him the so-called glowing stone.

We'll have to find a different way to communicate.

After all, you need to use different ways of speaking to different people.

Bai Sheng had a sudden thought.

He controlled the clone to take two steps forward, shortening the distance between the two.

"Sis, you're so beautiful. If I come to your house to see you, aren't you afraid that someone like me, a city person, will kidnap you?"

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment.

They probably didn't expect that this college student, who had just been greeting them with hello, would suddenly change his attitude.

But she only hesitated for half a second before picking up the thread, giving the clone a push on the chest.

"Oh dear, I thought you were an honest person, but it turns out you're a bad apple too."

I'm not afraid of being kidnapped.

"These mountains are so winding, do you know the way? I don't want to have to lead you out later."

"That's perfect! Sister, you can take me out, and I'll take you back to the city."

Bai Sheng manipulated his clone to take another half step forward.

Now the two were less than a step apart.

The beautiful woman looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with a hint of reproach, and said, "You're not that old, but you're quite bold. I'm not someone you can just easily lead."

"What do you want me to do to get you to come with me?"

The village woman leaned back against the pine tree trunk beside her.

Arms crossed over the chest,

This pose caused the neckline of the floral short-sleeved shirt to drop even further.

"Don't try to fool me. That dilapidated temple has been collapsed for many years. Outsiders come here either to dig up stones or look for things. You must be one of them."

Bai Shengrang's clone gave him a look of being exposed, and sighed, half-jokingly:

"Since you have a sharp eye, I'll be frank."

I heard from people in the city that there's a kind of stone in these mountains that glows at night.

I wanted to find a few pieces to take back for my elders to look at; they believe in feng shui.

The beautiful woman glanced at him sideways, her expression clearly disbelieving.

“Those stones can’t be eaten or sold. A few days ago, a group of people dug up a whole backpackful, but the environmental protection bureau came and confiscated it all and fined them.”

Bai Sheng realized that this village woman was really bored out of her mind.

This endless bickering...

We must find a way to get her to do it.

Bai Sheng let his clone put his hand into his pocket.

When it was taken out again,

It contained a crumpled red bill.

"Sis, take me to see this, this one is yours."

The beautiful woman glanced at the red bill in Bai Sheng's hand.

He held the bill up to his eyes and looked at the watermark against the sunlight.

"Ouch~"

Her voluptuous body leaned forward.

She tiptoed to kiss the clone's lips.

Bai Sheng suddenly jolted awake on his own sofa.

He controlled his clone to take half a step back.

I dodged it by tilting my head.

The beautiful woman missed her target, but instead of being annoyed, she giggled.

"Still feeling embarrassed! Alright, alright, I won't take advantage of you, come with me."

She picked up the bamboo basket, turned around, and walked towards the southwest corner of the ruins.

Bai Sheng controlled his clone to follow closely behind.

I walked through a patch of cut bushes; the cut was fresh.

Several pieces of pine branches that hadn't been cleared away were still scattered on the ground.

The beautiful woman suddenly stopped and pointed ahead:

"Look, it's right down there."

The clone looked in the direction she was pointing.

A roughly filled-in pit, the soil of which was lighter in color than the surrounding soil.

It was obviously recently turned over.
