Vol 3 Chapter 9: Come back

Chapter 9 is back
Running down the mountain all the way, rushing into the depths of the clouds and mist, Shen Shi's body seemed to make a wave of rippling waves in the cloud, and then disappeared. The stone steps at the foot were flat and smooth, and the sinking stone was three steps in two steps, rushing all the way, much faster than when he went up the mountain, and it didn't take long before he ran off the mountain road and returned to the original fork in the road.
His chest rises and falls, panting for a while. After taking a look in the direction of Tingfengtang, he subconsciously touches the wishful pouch on his waist. He seems to hesitate for a moment. After a while, he still turns around silently and walks towards the path. Went back. Although it was Du Tiejian who led the way when he came, the mountain roads only seen here and Yingxiantai are not complicated. There is only one mountain road in many places, so Shen Shi easily found the path back to Yingxiantai and walked back all the way back.
When he returned to the Yingxian Terrace and saw the familiar three other courtyards, he seemed to be relieved and his expression calmed down. It was really daytime. Among the disciples of the Three Schools, some boring and leisurely disciples were walking on the Yingxian Terrace. From time to time, some disciples in Yuanshimen costumes could be seen haunting nearby.
Shen Shi settled down, and didn't want to attract attention, so he lowered his head slightly and walked to the Lingxiao Courtyard.
No one noticed him on this part of the road, because Shen Shi really looked like an ordinary Lingxiaozong disciple, until he walked to the gate of the Lingxiao courtyard, but suddenly saw Du Tiejian near the gate of the courtyard⊥ The brother was sitting lazily on a bluestone bench next to the door, holding a wine gourd in his hand, sitting and drinking alone, the sun was shining on him, and he looked inexplicably decadent and lazy.
Naturally, Shen Shi would not be deceived by Du Tiejian's appearance. He stopped when he was about to walk into the gate. After a moment of silent thought, he turned and walked to Du Tiejian's side and said, "Brother Du, I'm back. "
Du Tiejian turned his head, his bright gaze stayed on Shen Shi's face for a moment, then he grinned and said, "Okay."
Shen Shi was still thinking about how he should answer if Senior Brother Du asked what the real masters in Tingfengtang had said to him. After all, real Huaiyuan said clearly and would not let him spread the matter. It’s just that this brother Du’s mysterious doesn’t seem to be completely ignorant of things in the demon world. When he was hesitating in his heart, unexpectedly Du Tiejian didn’t mention it at all, so he smiled and only said two things. There are no more words.
This was unexpected by Shen Shi, so that he suddenly didn't know what to say. After watching Du Tiejian for a long time, he remembered the sudden thought that suddenly came to his mind. Du Tiejian said: "Brother, I have one thing, I want to ask you something."
Du Tiejian smiled, took a sip of the drink, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "You tell me."
Shen Shi nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Brother, I heard that in the legend, the former head of the Six Saints, Wen Tian Gong, was on the Wuzhen Rock on the top of Mount Xumi, who created the Dao of Comprehension. Absorb the secret method of spirit crystals. But ten thousand years ago, this Mount Xumi was not the Demon Emperor’s Palace, even if the Demon Emperor rarely came here, but such imperial forbidden areas must not allow ordinary humans to enter, then ask God why he Can you go deep here and see the avenue on the top of this mountain?"
Du Tiejian was also startled when he heard the words. He hesitated and scratched his head: "Uh, what you said seems to make sense. I haven't paid attention to it before. But..." He thought about it, then said again, "But since it's six The sage of the head of the sage, asked Tiangong, he must be the hero of that generation. There must be something that I can't imagine. Maybe he is too high and ran to this Mount Xume without the Yaozu not noticing it, or What secret path did he find to get to this mountain?"
As he talked, Du Tiejian himself laughed, and said,
It’s been a long time now, no one can tell. Anyway, the legend is the legend. I really want to care about it. What happened so long ago, maybe it’s just It is possible that future generations are far-fetched to follow the location of the association, and it is possible that the place where the gods really comprehend the Dao is not here."
Shen Shi was taken aback, and suddenly blurted out: "No, it must be on the Wuzhen Rock on this mountain."
Du Tiejian gave a "Huh" and said, "Junior Brother Shen, how can you be so sure?"
Shen Shi felt a little in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice slightly, and said, "I think that there are so many people at the Yuanshi Sect, who value the inheritance of the saints so much. It shouldn't be a mistake."
Du Tiejian laughed and waved his hand: "Then it's impossible to tell."
Shen Shi nodded, and didn't want to say anything more about the matter, and immediately said goodbye to Du Tiejian, walked into the Lingxiao Courtyard, and walked quickly back to his room. As soon as he entered the room door, he slammed the wooden door shut behind him, with a loud noise that shocked Xiao Hei, who had been lying on the bed. He raised his head and looked at Shen Shi in surprise.
Shen Shi leaned back against the door, stood there blankly and waited for a while, then gave a bitter smile and sighed.

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away from Mount Xumi, somewhere between the wild mountains and ridges of the Hongmeng Lord Realm, a woman was walking briskly, while whispering something to herself. , Sounds like complaining:
"Mortal fetuses, there are too many restrictions...huh?" Suddenly, her voice was interrupted, and her body shook slightly, but she seemed to feel something suddenly, stopped and turned around and took a look.
The mountains are undulating thousands of miles, and the world is vast, without the slightest vision.
She frowned slightly, seeming to be a little uncertain, but quickly snorted, and said: "If you say that Broken Sword, no one in this world must be able to wake up. When I find the evil spirit, I will come back sooner or later. Settling accounts with you!"
With that, he gave a cold snort, waved his sleeves, and then moved forward again.
Seeing that there are thousands of mountains and rivers in front of her, she seems to be indifferent, as if she is planning to walk to the ends of the world like this, floating alone.
※※※
Mount Xumi, on the Peak of Picking Stars, Lingxiao Courtyard.
This day has passed quietly without knowing it. In a blink of an eye, night fell, and the lights in the other courtyard of the Three Martial Arts gradually went out, and everything was quiet.
Shen Shi was lying on the bed in his room, but tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully. In his mind, the illusion that he saw on Wuzhen Rock during the day seemed to be unforgettable, and it still appeared repeatedly. In his mind. Compared to his repetitions, Xiao Hei, who has been sleeping in the house for most of the day, has actually fallen asleep again at this moment, lying in another corner of the bed, snoring and even snoring, revealing his belly. Not knowing it.
This pig is too sleepy.
Shen Shi sat up, shook his head helplessly, and pulled a little bedding on Xiao Hei's belly. Xiao Hei turned over and faced the wall, breathing evenly and fell asleep again.
Shen Shi rubbed his eyebrows, walked back and forth in this room a few times, and suddenly stretched out his hand on the Ruyi bag. After a pause, when he raised his palm again, there was already a broken sword in his palm.
That is the fragment of the ancient sword of Slaughter Immortal.
In the gloomy night, this Slaying Immortal Remnant Sword was bleak, looking like scrap copper and rotten iron, but it seemed that the material was really to be calculated, and it was different from ordinary copper and iron. With a wealth of visual insight, I can't recognize what it is.
It's just that this remnant sword must have something very unusual!
Shen Shi stared at the dagger silently in the darkness, stroked the blade of the sword with his hand, and examined it carefully, but the whole area was calm as usual, nothing unusual.
That kind of heat and white light that had suddenly appeared during the day did not show any signs at this moment, and the remnant sword lay quietly in his palm, motionless.
But for some reason, a somewhat ridiculous thought surged in Shen Shi's heart, as if he seemed to feel on this broken sword, as if a voice was whispering and calling.
He didn't know what it was calling, but holding this broken sword in his hand, he felt this strange feeling.
In the darkness, Shen Shi's face changed slightly. After hesitating for a while, his grip on the hilt of the sword increased slightly, and he took a deep breath, walked slowly to the door, and then opened the door. , Went out.
There are no moons and stars tonight, and the stars are faint, falling in the Lingxiao Courtyard.
Bathed in the slightly silvery starlight, Shen Shi looked down at the remnant sword in his hand, and there was still no change, but the mysterious and mysterious feeling in his heart seemed to be the strange calling sound, which increased slightly. some.
The corner of Shen Shi's eyes twitched, and his breathing was a bit short, perhaps in his sensibility, CNOOC Limited insisted on not being stupid or troublesome, but there always seemed to be another voice, but it was like a strong pushing hand. Pushing forward hard behind his back.
Thousands of years ago, the mysterious and magnificent figure, the magnificent and fascinating world, and the terrifying but thunder of heaven and earth, and finally, the mysterious and treacherous figure...
Suddenly, he squeezed the hilt of the sword, and then took a step.
In the darkness, in the stars, he walked alone quietly.
Like a silent phantom at night, quietly except for the other courtyard, it walked swiftly in the shadows, passed through Yingxiantai and onto the mountain road.
The remnant sword in his hand remained unchanged, and it seemed that he was still sleeping, but Shen Shi, who clenched the hilt of the sword, clearly felt that the hilt in his hand began to tremble extremely slightly.
What will be waiting for him in the front?
Shen Shi didn't know, but he was eager to know at this moment. It seemed that it should be a mysterious scene that should be hidden in the past years, and it may soon be opened before his eyes.
So after he made up his mind, he never flinched again. This time, he walked across the mountain road and stepped on the stone steps, and finally re-entered the road to Wuzhen Rock.
On the cliff, the big rock was silent as before, and the cold wind blew across its body like a cold blade. All this seemed to have passed millions of years, as if everything would never change, until that figure suddenly appeared and walked to Dashi's side.
Stand side by side with it.
In his hand, he still holds that broken sword...
The night breeze blew through, and howling shrill, the sky and the earth were full of recklessness.
Then, in the darkness, in the deepest part of the darkness, suddenly there was a light.
...
