Vol 2 Chapter 26: Pine forest

The Palace of Clouds was very quiet for a while, the ancestor Huo Ye closed his eyes and said nothing, and the real Huaiyuan sighed slightly, seeming to sigh, but Shen Shi didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, the real Huaiyuan came back to his senses, and then asked Shen Shi carefully, including how he got out of trouble and how to get to the Guiyuan Realm. Shen Shi answered one by one. When I heard that there was a similar tiny teleportation circle in the demon world, both the faces of Huaiyuan and Patriarch Huo Ye became serious at the same time, but then after Shen Shi affirmed that the circle was indeed shattered after being activated. The expressions of the two of them only relaxed.
However, the doubt in the middle is obvious. The real Huaiyuan looked at Patriarch Huo Ye and frowned, "Could it be possible that this weird tiny magic circle can only be used once? Why would it be directly damaged once it runs?"
Patriarch Huo Ye also has the color of thinking on his face. Obviously, the golden birthstone inherited from the ancient times and the mysterious teleportation array, even if he is now one of the few people standing on the top of the human cultivation world, he does not fully understand it. .
After meditation for a while, True Man Huaiyuan turned his head to look at Shen Shi, and said, "But since the magic circle of the demon world has been destroyed, at least it should be worry-free for the time being, but your three years of experience in the demon world is really weird. There are a lot of troubles, which are quite involved, and need to be considered for a long time. Another year will be the ten-year meeting of the four righteous gates. At that time, I will negotiate this matter privately with the other three leaders, but before that, this The matter should not be leaked out, do you understand?"
Shen Shi nodded, and said: "The disciple understands." But he paused immediately, with some hesitation, and said, "But if someone asks the disciple about the situation in the past three years, how should the disciple answer?"
Real Huaiyuan thought for a while, and said, "I will arrange Iron Sword to take you down in the sect. He will tell you the specific matters."
Shen Shi nodded and agreed, and the real Huaiyuan said again: "You go down first. When you go out, call Tiejian and come in again."
Shen Shi respectfully bowed his head at these two respectable Dazheng people, then quietly turned and walked out. When the heavy hall wooden door closed again, Patriarch Huo Ye suddenly said indifferently:
"Do you think everything this son has said is true?"
The real Huaiyuan pondered for a moment, the strange stars in his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said: "There may be some unfinished words in his words, but his words are not false."
For some reason, even though Patriarch Huo Ye had a higher level of Dao Xing than Huaiyuan's real person, but he believed in the assertion of this teacher-in-chief's nephew. After listening to Huaiyuan's words, he nodded and did not continue to struggle with this topic. , On the contrary, he sighed infrequently, the countless disciples of Ling Xiaozong, and only Huaiyuan real person could see this old ancestor who admired the gods of countless people would have such a look of sigh.
"Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, the old man will have the opportunity to hear the news from the demon world."
Real Huaiyuan looked a little dignified, and said, "The monsters are powerful, and they are the number one enemy of my human race. They are only separated by the yin and evil sea for thousands of years. The time is too long, so it is gradually forgotten like today. It's no trivial matter, maybe it won't wait for the previous year, how about I now send out invitations to the other three wise men?
Grandmaster Huo Ye sneered, seeming to be a bit ridiculous, but obviously it was not aimed at this teacher-nephew who had a good relationship with him, and said lightly: "You are going to do this, Zhenlong Palace and Tianjian Palace It's hard to say what kind of reaction, what will happen at Yuanshimen, can you not think of it?"
The real Huaiyuan was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and shook his head without speaking.

When he pushed open the gate of Yunxiao Hall and walked out, the bright sky light fell on him, making Shen Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he saw Du Tiejian sitting lazily on the stone steps, with him on the ground beside him. The black giant sword, besides that, the surrounding area was quiet. It seemed that there were few people coming near the Yunxiao Palace on weekdays, and no other figures were seen for a long time.
Du Tiejian seemed to feel the movement behind him, turned around and took a look, saw Shen Shi coming over, sitting down beside him, smiling, and saying, "How?"
Shen Shi thought for a while, and said, "It's okay." After a pause, he said again, "The real master teaches you to go in."
Du Tiejian gave a "Oh", stood up, grabbed the iron sword, and walked towards Yunxiao Palace. After two steps, he seemed to think of something, and then turned to the quiet but wide area below the stone steps. Song Bolin pointed to the middle, and said, "Your little pig was here just now, but now he has gone to play in the woods again. I can't stop it."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "That little thing is like this, don't pay attention to it."
Du Tiejian smiled and nodded, glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "You are waiting for me here."
Shen Shi nodded and agreed, and then watched Du Tiejian walk into the hall again, and as the heavy door slowly closed behind him, the stone steps outside the Yunxiao Hall quickly fell into silence.
This forest hall, this deep forest, seems to have been silent all the time, floating out of the world, without touching the world's fireworks. Shen Shi glanced at the forest, and the shadows of the trees did not see the little black pig, and he didn't know where he went this time.
At the same time, in the depths of the woods, I don't know how many pines and cypresses stand upright, green and vigorous, some old pines are even surrounded by a few people, and I don't know how many years they have grown on this Jinhong Mountain. However, unlike ordinary forests, although this piece of pine and Berlin is dense and prosperous, except for the big pine and cypress trees, there are almost no shrubs and thorns with barbed thorns. At most, some moss and grass grow. Between the clearing of the forest or the gap between the roots of the bare ground, the forest looks very empty and bright.
The big tree and the big tree are often separated by a certain distance, and they are different from far or near, but they are spacious enough to pass, but the forest is also silent, only occasionally a few unknown birds heard from the depths of the forest The sound of singing adds a bit of anger to this place.
A black figure that looks very insignificant compared to the ancient pine and cypress that has grown for thousands or hundreds of years, just appeared abruptly in this forest, walking among these towering trees, and smelling this pine tree. , Sniffing the green cypress, seemed a little curious and excited about the strange but bright surroundings.
The little black pig hummed from time to time, and at the same time he kept chewing in his mouth, vaguely saw a spiritual grass that had been bitten by it, and I didn't know where it was found. Jinhong Mountain is one of the most beautiful places in the world, the fairyland of Lingshan, and the abundant aura is one of the few in the world. Although the Lingxiao sect has a medicine garden that specializes in cultivating various spiritual herbs, but in such a rare forest It's not surprising that there are some spirit grasses, but no one will come to this place of cultivation and cultivation of real masters to search for spirit grass.
The little black pig walked, only to see the pines and cypresses in the forest, fresh and solemn, seems to make people feel very comfortable, although I don’t know why this feeling is, but the little black pig seems to like it very much. As he walked, there seemed to be some tiredness coming up, and he yawned greatly.
Just as it looked left and right, and was about to find a good place to sleep for a while, suddenly its piglet's head suddenly lifted, but it looked deeper into the pine forest, where there are more ancient trees and denser trees, and light It also seemed a little darker than the outside, except that there were no abnormalities.
But the little black pig seemed to feel something, and suddenly hesitated, the sleepiness that had just given birth seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye.
In the pine forest, there was silence, as if there was a moment when everything suddenly fell silent, even the original crisp bird song disappeared.
The little black pig stared at the depths of the forest and stood motionless. At the same time, the two ears on his head slowly stood up, seeming to be a little scared, and even beginning to be wary.
After a while, the little black pig took a step back quietly.
There was still silence in the forest.
The little black pig suddenly turned around, turned around and ran, flying with four hoofs, unexpectedly fast as an arrow from the string, rushing out a few times, and ran all the way to the forest.
In a blink of an eye, the little figure ran far away and disappeared in this pine forest. In the depths of the forest, among the quiet and dark shadows of the trees, there was still nothing moving, but a breeze was blowing occasionally. After passing this dense forest, the shadow of the tree shook, and the shadow flickered a few times.
Vaguely, a distant, low and almost inaudible breath sounded and fell in the depths of the secluded dense forest. After a while, this dense forest of pine and cypress fell into the silent silence that seemed unchanging in ancient times.
※※※
A black shadow rushed out of the pine forest with a "brush" sound, shocking Shen Shi, and then found out that it was the little black pig running all the way, jumping up the stone steps a few times, and then beside Shen Shi He lay down, leaning tightly against Shen Shi's legs, with his head buried, as if a little tired.
Shen Shi glanced at it, and felt that the little black pig looked strange, touched its head and said, "What's wrong?"
The little black pig groaned, just rubbed his head against Shen Shi's palm, and did not express any more. Shen Shi frowned, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly listened to the gate of Yunxiao Palace behind him. With a low sound, Shen Shi quickly stood up and looked, only to see that Du Tiejian had already walked from there.
Shen Shi greeted him, and Du Tiejian saw him with a smile on his face, saying: "I've been waiting, Junior Brother Shen."
Shen Shi shook his head, and said, "Brother Du, do you have any instructions for the master teacher?"
Du Tiejian smiled and looked at him, patted his shoulder lightly, and said, "Don't worry, you are a disciple of my Lingxiao Sect again from today."
Shen Shi sighed. After these words, he really let go of his worries. Du Tiejian took him all the way to the bluestone road outside the temple, and began to explain to him the future arrangements for him:
"From now on you will be directly practicing on Jinhong Mountain, brother, for thousands of years, you have not reached the Ning Yuan realm to go to Jinhong Mountain and become a personal disciple. You are the first person. But anyway, now your top priority is as soon as possible. You have to break through the realm and cultivate to the Ningyuan realm, you know?"
Shen Shi nodded, and the experience of these days had clearly told him that a monk who did not reach the Ning Yuan realm was almost equivalent to an ant and had no status at all.
As Du Tiejian walked, he said again: "Besides, what is your experience in the past three years? Master told me not to ask too much. I just want me to tell you that this matter must be kept secret. If someone asks, you must. If you answer this way, you will say that you were on that Demon Island three years ago..."
Du Tiejian was whispering to him. Shen Shi slowly nodded his head while listening carefully. Behind the two of them, the little black pig followed with each other step by step. After walking out a certain way, it suddenly turned back. He glanced at the pine forest, his body was slightly sluggish, and a strange and complicated expression flashed across his eyes. It seemed to be a little bit scary and a little bit curious, but in the end he quickened his pace, followed the pace of Shenshi, and walked all the way out. A hall deep in the dense forest.
