Vol 2 Chapter 8: No disaster

September was the beginning of autumn. After bidding farewell to the hot summer, Broken Moon City gradually became cooler, but for most of the monks in the city, this did not feel any special.
Day after day of cultivation, he will lead the spirit into the body again and again, and slowly temper his body. The life of a monk is gradually changed in this kind of continuous cultivation, and he is getting farther and farther away from ordinary mortals. After surpassing mortal power and a longer life span, many mortals have the fragility or sensitivity that they have inadvertently lost.
Without the feeling of cold and warm, naturally you will not care too much about the change of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and you will no longer have the sadness of hurting the spring and the autumn, but there is one exception, although the monks will live longer than ordinary mortals. And with the improvement of the realm of practice, the upper limit of the monks' lifespan will continue to increase, but all monks under the world still attach great importance to this point of time.
No one is not afraid of death, especially after prying into the first and second mysteries of Xiuxian Avenue, knowing those visions that can live longer and even be said to be immortal, and doing everything possible to improve the realm and Taoism has become common to all monks in the world. instinct. It's just that there are countless cultivators in the world, and how many of them are truly outstanding and leading the group on Xiuxian Avenue?
The so-called favored sons or geniuses, in the final analysis, the lucky people who are blessed by nature are only a tiny part, and most people are still ordinary after all.
But ordinary people may not have ordinary hearts. Since the human race has cultivated the Taoism, thousands of years have passed. In these long years, there have been countless vicissitudes in the world. There have been countless stories that have been passed down by word of mouth or recorded in books and books on the path of cultivation. Endless. If a mortal wants to reach the sky, this road must be tortuous and difficult, but there is no shortage of people who succeed.
Ordinary talents can be changed with external forces. All things are born with a mysterious nature, and there are natural materials and treasures in the world. Those who have great fortunes, those with great opportunities, have reached the sky and became famous in one step. It has been circulating among the large number of casual cultivators.
Perhaps the next one is yourself?
Therefore, cultivators have always been in casual cultivators, and they rarely live in one place and practice behind closed doors. For one thing, without the support of sect spirit crystals, they cannot guarantee their cultivation; secondly, the various spiritual resources needed for cultivation are lonely. For casual cultivator, you also need to go to the wilderness to search for.
Specific to the Broken Moon City where Shen Shi is now, the truth is the same. There are many monks gathered in the city, and they come and go very lively every day. Many monks, especially most of them are casual cultivators. It’s a similar itinerary. Starting from Broken Moon City, heading to several nearby treasures rich in spiritual materials, looking for spiritual materials to hunt down monsters, return to the city after harvesting, and then sell them in various shops to exchange for what they need for cultivation. Spirit crystals or other materials, and then continue to repeat such days, and in the process, work hard but tenaciously to practice, and slowly improve their realm of Taoism.
That's right, the days of casual cultivating are so difficult. Compared with those monks from famous families or famous schools, it is a world of difference, but when has this world been truly fair?
I can probably only blame myself for not having a good fetus. In that case, I can only look forward to climbing up desperately in this life, looking forward to a day of success.
So when Shen Shi walked out of the gate of Broken Moon City, he also saw a lot of casual cultivators walking together in twos and threes, or walking alone alone, but when everyone set out, their expressions were full of expressions. Hope looks full of expectations.
Looking at them, Shen Shi suddenly felt that he was in a much better mood. He raised his head and squinted his eyes. He looked at this autumn field with the sky and the earth, with the little black pig running around with lively excitement at his feet. It also merged into the crowd, walked far away, and disappeared in the crowd.
※※※
Before leaving the city, Shen Shi, who was cautious by nature, asked other people in the city. The answer he got was not wrong with what the owner of the inn said. The several treasures around Broken Moon City are rich in spiritual materials. Just four places.
Walking slowly with the little black pig all the way, Shen Shi pondered in his heart. The main reason for his leaving the city this time was that he was worried about Xuanjianmen, although he still couldn't judge that Xuanjianmen had been discovered because of the words of Boss He. He was about to search for himself, but Shen Shishi didn't want to cause any accidents before returning to the High Heaven Sect. He simply went out of the city to hide. Anyway, he could meet and meet the people from the High Heaven Sect after waiting four days. At that time, even though the Profound Sword Sect was so powerful, it could still be bigger than the High Heaven Sect, which is ranked four in the world?
In other words, relying on a particularly powerful backing, this feels really different.
Shen Shi laughed a little bit of self-deprecating in his heart, and then he thought about where he should go. Since he was out of the city, it would be a convenient move to go to the nearby places rich in spiritual materials. If Lingxiaozong could bring back some spiritual materials such as spirit grass spirit stones or monster beast bodies before, it should be useful. As long as you pay attention, don't provoke some particularly tyrannical monsters or go to some dangerous places, naturally you won't have too much risk.
According to Boss He’s four treasures, Crouching Tiger Mountain has been occupied by Xuanjian Gate, and it is this school that Shen Shi hides now. Naturally, he stays away from it. The location of the gray lizard forest seems to be the place where Qian Yi fought to the death before , Also cannot pass; Yingfuling terrain is steep and there are many monsters, it is said that among the four places is the most dangerous, Shen Shi gave up after thinking about it for a while, after all, he just walked around in the past few days. It's just killing time, there is no need to take too much risk.
Then the last remaining Silver Moon Lake, it feels like the most suitable place to go. Since the spirit grass is produced, there are also monsters infested, and the area is quite large, as long as it is not deep in the depths of the big lake, according to the sayings left by those in the past, some of the surrounding monsters are ordinary low-level monsters of the same order. Not particularly dangerous.
Thinking of this, the result is very clear, and Shen Shi didn't hesitate too much, and walked towards Yinyue Lake with the piglet.
On this road, the flow of casual cultivators out of the city gradually dispersed, especially after coming down the road and entering the wild grass-growing wild, many casual cultivators separated their distances intentionally or unintentionally, and many people were particularly special. It was a cultivator who looked a little weaker, and his face gradually became wary.
When Shen Shi walked on this wilderness, he naturally noticed such a sight. After frowning slightly, he thought of this wilderness in the bottom of his heart. It seems that the risks may not always come from those ferocious monsters.
But now that he has come here, naturally there is no reason to return to the city, and Shen Shi has a bit of self-confidence in his heart. After all, he has spent three years in the demon world of licking blood with the point of a knife, plus the five-element technique and Ruyi. The dozens of talisman protectors in the bag should at least protect themselves.
Along the way, we can see that the number of monks who came out of Broken Moon City went to Silver Moon Lake is the most. Obviously, the environment there is the most suitable for monks to explore and find spiritual materials, but this field is very large. A large number of monks who rose up scattered into the wilderness, and soon everyone became more and more scattered, and gradually they couldn't see the figures around them.
Naturally, Shen Shi didn't intend to get too close to the other monks. In fact, this kind of dispersion was more in his mind. His body and deeds are only average in realm. Although in the six days after returning to the human realm, he has restarted practicing with spirit crystals in the inn, but breaking through the threshold of the Ning Yuan realm is obviously not an overnight thing, at least he In the past few days, I did not feel any signs of breakthrough.
On the contrary, perhaps because he hasn’t practiced for too long, when Shen Shi first introduced the spirit into his body, his physical body was still somewhat resistant to the spiritual power in the spirit crystal. It felt a bit like when he first started practicing. The physical body that arrived caused a bit of pain, but after Shen Shi persisted for a while, when the physical body gradually adjusted to the spirit crystal again, this feeling quickly disappeared.
Perhaps, you have to wait until you return to the High Heaven Sect before you can try to break through the Ning Yuan realm.
Shen Shi thought so in his heart. He looked around and found that there were indeed no people. Only the little black pig was kept in the inn for a few days. At this moment, he was in the wild, looking very excited, running around in the grass.
After walking like this for a while, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the humidity in the air seemed to be greater, and the oncoming wind seemed to be a bit cooler, and it seemed that he was a little closer to the Silver Moon Lake. Shen Shi's spirits lifted up. Although he wanted to take a look before he came here, when he came to this place, out of the instinct of every monk, he obviously had a natural yearning for various spiritual materials.
Just at this moment, a sudden low roar suddenly came from the grass in front of him, and then I remembered the sound of a few weapon beatings, it seemed that someone was fighting and fighting.
Shen Shi's footsteps stopped, his brows suddenly frowned, and he looked around. This place should still be quite far outside of Silver Moon Lake. How could there be cultivators fighting at such a distance?
The little black pig ran to his feet, suddenly raised his head and sniffed into the sky, then tilted his head and hummed twice.
Shen Shi lowered his head and glanced at the little black pig, and saw that the direction it was calling, seemed to be the place where the fighting sound came from.
After pondering for a while, Shen Shi shook his head, still not wanting to cause trouble, and said to the little black pig: "Let's take a detour."
The little black pig looked up at him. It seemed that he didn't understand him. Shen Shi didn't bother to explain it. He took the little black pig around in a circle and continued to move forward.
It was only halfway there. The sound of fighting over there was already much quieter, but I didn’t expect that after a while, I suddenly heard a commotion in that direction, and the figures flickered. The little black pig rushed in this direction.
Shen Shi stopped in amazement, turned to look, and saw that not long after, a tall casual repairer rushed over, looking embarrassed, with a panic expression on his face, holding a knife in one hand, and holding on to what seems to be a spiritual grass in the other. The appearance of, fled all the way. After a while, another monk rushed in, his face was pale and expressionless, but his eyes were murderous.
The tall man who ran away panicked and couldn't choose his way. At a glance, he saw a surprised Shen Shi standing aside. There seemed to be a strange black pig beside him. He didn't think so much, and hurriedly shouted: "Help, help. !"
Shen Shi was completely ignorant of the two of them, and he didn't know what disputes they had between them and where they would get involved. Instead of going forward, he took a few steps back.
That tall casual cultivator is obviously not high, at least a little worse than the murderous withered monk behind him. He is about to be caught up, and under the eagerness, he can’t control so much, but he just turned to sink in a sharp turn. Shi rushed over here.
Shen Shi frowned at the same time as the monk who was chasing behind him. No one could see that this guy was desperate. In order to survive, everyone wanted to pull into the battle group and win a chance to survive.
There was also a trace of irritation in Shen Shi's heart, but at the moment things were urgent, and he couldn't help thinking too much. When subconsciously wanting to keep avoiding this inexplicable battle, the little black pig suddenly called to the cultivator who rushed over. After a second sound, his eyes pierced, but he was staring at the spiritual grass that the monk was holding.
Shen Shi froze for a moment, his footsteps lagging slightly, the monk had already fled to the front, and at the same time a trace of sorrow passed across his face, strode across the Shen Shi, but he slammed his backhand towards Shen Shi's body, intending to do so. He pushed behind him to block the chasing soldiers. As for whether he would die or live in doing so, he didn't care at all.
But at the time of this electric flint, when Shen Shi's eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a soundless talisman in the palm of his right hand hanging beside him, suddenly a knife tip suddenly penetrated the monk's chest. When it came out, blood spattered and poured down.
The monk trembled, as if all his strength disappeared in an instant. He staggered and walked a few steps, turned around with difficulty, pointed at the yellow monk behind, and hissed: "You...you just do it for this one. Spirit grass..."
The yellow-faced monk came over, pulled out the blade inserted into his back, and kicked him to the ground with one foot, then grabbed his palm, broke his fingers, and grabbed the spirit grass. Showing a fierce grin, he said coldly: "Exactly, your life can't be compared with this spiritual grass!"
Shen Shi stood by and watched the and naked fight between the two cultivators, his eyes twitched slightly. This was the first time in his life that he truly saw the fierce and cruel competition between cultivators outside the wilderness. Life and death are only on the front line. In comparison, my past days on the Lingxiaozong Herring Island were really comfortable.
What's the difference between the scene in front of me and the fight between the monster races I've seen in that monster world for three years?
Killed that tall monk. After the withered yellow monk snatched the spirit grass, he didn't stop there, but in front of the sinking stone, he unscrupulously started his body search, and then found a few more pieces in pieces. Lingjing, but there are no other spiritual materials other than that. From this, it can be imagined that the tall monk in front should be an embarrassed and frustrated casual cultivator.
Putting the few spirit crystals into his arms, the withered cultivator stood up slowly, turned and looked at Shen Shi, and after looking at the young man carefully, he determined that this person is just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm. , I don’t know if the murder has started, or to kill people, his indifferent face slowly showed a grin again, looking at Shen Shi as if looking at a fat pig to be slaughtered, lifting the blade in his hand, A little bit of blood dripped from the blade.
The wind on the field blew gently, with a moist breath, but for some reason it felt a faint coolness. Shen Shi looked at the scene ahead coldly, at the murderous monk who had never known each other but had a fierce face.
Perhaps this is what he didn't know in the past, the really cruel side of the bottom of the cultivation world.
He looked at the murderous monk, suddenly smiled faintly, and then calmly said:
"You want to kill me too?"
