I'm trapped in a cube

After verbally confirming that his apprentice was fine, Bai Zhou still didn't feel relieved.

Just like those alchemists who took the "elixir", although no harm was seen at first, the toxins of the elixir have remained in the body forever, and they were tortured to death in their later years.

What's more, this is something that can really affect the soul, and any possible damage will affect the spirit.

So, Bai Zhou tested his apprentice with a few more questions.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the apprentice except that he had not recovered yet and his reaction was a little slow.

"How did you do it? Is this an ability unique to your race? Will it affect your future health?" Bai Zhou was still very confused and asked several questions in succession.

After hearing Bai Zhou's inquiry, the apprentice vaguely explained the principle of eternal life again, but this time the details were more and more in-depth.

The principle is simple.

A lot of hexagram knowledge is used, including the separation of soul and body.

There are also some drug purification methods that the apprentice actually uses on himself.

Bai Zhou listened and actually understood a little bit.

While marveling at his apprentice's fantastic ideas, Bai Zhou was also full of worries.

"Don't do that again next time. If no one is around to save you in time, you will really ascend to heaven."

"No, Master." The apprentice explained seriously: "I feel that my body and I will intersect again, otherwise I would not try so easily."

"Can you feel this?" Bai Zhou asked in disbelief.

"able."

"When will it cross?"

"have no idea."

Hearing this, Bai Zhou gave his apprentice another heavy blow on the forehead.

"Wooden head!"

The apprentice refused to hide and allowed Bai Zhou to hit him: "I am indeed stupid, Master."

"..."

Bai Zhou was suddenly so depressed that he could not speak.

Just as he was thinking about how to persuade his apprentice, he felt that the mist around him had changed and seemed to suddenly become thicker.

Originally, the mist would not touch his skin, but just now, the moist water vapor began to stick to Bai Zhou's clothes, and he felt sticky.

I wiped my face with my hands, but it was already covered with moisture.

"Why is this fog getting heavier and heavier?" Bai Zhou was confused. Is the weather so extreme?

"When did the fog start?" he asked the apprentice in front of him curiously.

"It's been a long time." The apprentice thought for a moment and replied, "Master just left not long ago, when I first learned about immortality."

"so long?"

This fog actually lasted for so long, Bai Zhou suddenly realized that something was really wrong with this fog.

How can there be fog that lasts for such a long time?

"Is there anything else strange happening in the village?" Bai Zhou asked.

"Yes!" This time, the apprentice didn't think about it and immediately gave the answer: "Master, I will take you to see it."

"good."

With a worried mood, Bai Zhou followed his apprentice around the village.

The apprentice took Bai Zhou to a place similar to a warehouse, which contained various tools that Bai Zhou taught them to make, but these tools were now piled up in a pile and placed here in a messy manner.

"What's wrong?" Looking at these tools, Bai Zhou felt a little strange.

"Look here." The apprentice pointed to the joint of a tool. The original wooden structure was covered with black mold spots. These mold spots corroded the wood and created deep cracks.

Bai Zhou quickly checked other tools and found that these mold spots appeared on critical parts of the tools, directly causing damage to the tools and making them unable to continue to be used.

It was as if someone had specifically done the damage, and it was someone who was particularly familiar with this tool.

However, these mildew spots appear to have formed naturally in the humid mist.

Bai Zhou picked up a branch and scratched the moldy spot, but his action caused the already shaky tool to fall apart.

Is the corrosion so deep?

The dark mold spots had penetrated deep into the wood.

It seems that this is why these tools are left here.

Feeling the moist mist around him, it was difficult for Bai Zhou not to associate the two together.

Could it be that this mist is a kind of living thing with autonomous consciousness?

Apart from this, Bai Zhou could not think of any other explanation.

If you don't have a strong self-awareness, you won't specifically look for weak points to destroy, making these tools completely useless.

"When did these tools have problems?" Bai Zhou asked.

"After these fogs appear on the island." The apprentice replied affirmatively.

Hearing this, Bai Zhou was even more sure that there was a relationship between the two.

"Have all the tools in the entire village been corroded?" Bai Zhou asked worriedly, thinking of the mist-filled island.

The apprentice nodded.

It seems the problem is more serious than imagined.

Bai Zhou followed his apprentice around the village and found that, as his apprentice said, discarded tools could be seen everywhere. The Chali tribe had returned to primitive society, and all the tools Bai Zhou had taught him could no longer be used.

"How could it be so targeted?" Bai Zhou even felt that this was a precursor to some kind of war, specifically destroying the enemy's civilizational creations.

After returning to the house, Bai Zhou began to think deeply.

"The mildew spots are caused by fog. The fog lasted for a long time..."

"Not long after I left, it began to spread throughout the island. My apprentice had just learned about immortality at that time..."

"eternal life?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Bai Zhou's mind.

If he remembered correctly, after he had just learned a little bit about the method of eternal life from his apprentice, he seemed to feel that the fog around him had become a lot heavier.

When he thought of this, Bai Zhou immediately asked his apprentice if he felt any changes in the mist the last time they talked.

However, the apprentice shook his head.

"Am I the only one who feels it?"

Because I learned about the way to eternal life, so I got caught in the mist?

Thinking of the suddenly moist skin, Bai Zhou suddenly became enlightened.

He anxiously asked his disciples: "How many people still know the method of eternal life?"

Upon hearing this, the apprentice stopped talking and hesitated as if he wanted to hide something. Bai Zhou immediately saw his embarrassment and felt something bad in his heart.

"Everyone in the village knows..."

The apprentice said embarrassedly that he was a person who couldn't hide his words. He would tell the villagers everything Bai Zhou taught him. Bai Zhou didn't care before.

Unexpectedly, Lou Zi was stabbed at this time.

"What's wrong, Master?" Seeing Bai Zhou's panic, the disciple asked curiously.

Bai Zhou looked at his apprentice who was still in the dark, sighed, and told him his guess.

After listening to Bai Zhou's explanation, the apprentice also froze on the spot.

"I'm sorry, Master, I don't know."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Who would have thought that just understanding one thing would lead to disaster.

Is it true that if you steal your life from heaven, you will definitely be punished by God?
