Vol 2 Chapter 24: ask

Tianhong City is the center of gravity of the world, the famous city for all ages, and the giant capital. There are only 17 ancient teleportation formations leading to other worlds, not to mention the ordinary teleportation formations that pass through the state. You know, even Even the main hall of the Immortal Society that controls the teleportation circle is in this heavenly city.
The Haizhou where Ling Xiaozong is located is located in the south of Hongmeng's main realm, bordering the Canghai Sea, and separated from Tianhong City by more than a dozen states, of which the journey is no less than millions of miles. In other words, Du Tiejian and Shen Shi had to ride the teleportation circle a dozen times before they could return to Haizhou. But compared to the long journey in the middle, this little trouble is simply negligible.
When Shen Shi was twelve years old, when he left Yinzhou to go to Lingxiaozong, he rode the teleportation circle for the first time in his life. That time was a lot of hardship, but the time has passed. Although he was delayed in the demon world for three years, After all, there is still a bit of walking in the body, the tolerance of the teleportation circle is greatly improved, and there is no previous embarrassment, of course there are still some effects, after several consecutive rides, he still needs to rest.
In contrast, Du Tiejian is so relaxed, he has always looked like nothing, leisurely and relaxed, even the little black pig following Shen Shi, for some reason, it is actually relaxed. Shen Shi was also speechless.
Stopping and walking, even transporting the rest belt, they set off from Tianhong City in the morning, and finally returned to Floating Cloud City, Haizhou in the afternoon.
When the familiar scene in front of him appeared again, although he had only seen it once, Shen Shi felt that he had been looking forward to it for a long, long time. Floating Cloud City is as prosperous as it was in the past. Although after seeing Tianhong City’s unparalleled and famous city scene, Floating Cloud City feels much smaller and inferior, but this city has another kind for Shenshi The unexpected intimacy, even if... In fact, he really came here once.
A dozen times of teleportation made Shen Shi look a bit tired, but Du Tiejian didn't mean to rest, but walked straight out of the city with Shen Shi, looking at him, he was ready to return to the High Heaven Sect immediately.
Shen Shi would naturally not have any additional objections to this, but after all, this is Floating Cloud City, Haizhou, and the core site of Lingxiaozong, one of the Four Masters of the World. Even though there are many cultivators on the Haizhou boundary, which one is not Yangling The breath of Xiaozong, and Du Tiejian, as the senior disciple of Ling Xiaozong master Huaiyuan real person, the most vigorous among the younger generation of disciples, has not gone far in this Floating Cloud City, and several groups of people have recognized him and came over. greet.
Among them, since there are other schools of cultivation, there are also ordinary casual cultivation, and even some chief shopkeepers in the city, etc., all of them are close and enthusiastic to this promising Du Tiejian, and Shen Shi on the side has a preliminary experience. My own, brother Du, had never revealed his personal connections before.
It’s just that it’s a network, and it doesn’t look like it. People who are enthusiastic and kind are all others. Du Tiejian himself didn’t look like his eyes were above the top, but he gave a big smile to everyone who came to say hello. The appearance of him was dismissed in a few words, and no one had a deep conversation with him along the way.
Shen Shi stood quietly to the side, never interrupting and talking when Du Tiejian was talking with others, just watching it calmly, and occasionally a thoughtful expression flashed in his eyes.
Du Tiejian also glanced at him occasionally, but when he saw that he was silent, he didn't say anything to him. It was just that after looking at the moon on the top of the Great Wall of Tianhong City last night, he faintly felt that Junior Brother Shen It seems that there have been some changes quietly.
※※※
When I left the city, I went straight to the sea, and when I could see the vast and rippling sea, the people around me gradually decreased. The clouds and mist in the distance on the sea were lingering, like a dream, like a fairy mountain standing there.
Du Tiejian looked back at Shen Shi, put away the smile on his face, and said sternly: "Junior Brother Shen, we are back to the mountain."
Shen Shi looked into the distance, was silent for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
With a move of Du Tiejian's hand, the black giant sword suddenly flew up and hung in the air three feet in the air. Du Tiejian pulled the sinking stone with his hand, and jumped onto the sword with the little black pig. At both ends of the blade, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, like a giant ship passing by, flying towards the endless sea.
In the past, Shen Shi has also seen other monks driving their magical weapons into the air, such as Wang Gen, Gan Wenqing, and other monks with advanced skills, all of them are as graceful as immortals, but none of them People will be like Du Tiejian. The flying swords fly so shockingly. As their speed accelerates, the black giant swords will scream like thunder from time to time in the air, like a violent beast roaring at the sea and sky. . Fortunately, it was above this uninhabited sea, otherwise if it were in the densely populated Floating Cloud City, the movement would be too much.
Only then did Shen Shi understand the reason why Senior Brother Du often had to go outside the city before he was willing to use his sword. He had flew himself several times before, but the speed has never been as fast as today. Maybe It was also because Jin Hongshan was right in front of him, and even he was a little eager in his heart.
The rumble of thunder roared over the sea, disturbing countless seabirds and fish, and fled in all directions, while the clouds pierced through the fog, the huge fairy mountain deep in the sea finally appeared in front of Shen Shi again.
Three years later, after three years away, Shen Shi finally saw Jinhong Mountain again.
For a moment, he even felt as if he was back when he was a twelve-year-old boy. When Wang Gen was on worshipping Xianyan, he took them to look up to this majestic mountain, but on this day, Du Tiejian took him straight up. The sky passed through countless buildings and halls, flying higher and higher, faster and faster.
Without knowing it, Shen Shi suddenly felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and the surrounding temperature was dropping sharply. As if he was in the ice, the little black pig at his feet made a few low wailing and seemed to feel very uncomfortable. , And at the edge of the black giant sword, a bit of white ice crystals had already condensed.
However, the Jinhong Mountain in front of me was still green and majestic straight into the sky. It was still invisible to the end of the mountain.
A few voices of the bells and drums, and a few of the Heming dragon chants, suddenly uploaded from the clouds, which shocked people. After a while, only a sea of ​​clouds was seen, like a sea hanging upside down above the sky, boundless, and a black giant sword He was leading them, rushing towards this deep invisible cloud.
The little black pig let out a horrified cry, and Shen Shi's face was a little pale, but his expression was still calm and calm, his eyes pierced, and he looked straight ahead.
"call!"
With a loud noise, they have entered the clouds, and for a moment they only felt the gust of wind in their ears. It was white and vast. It seemed that except for the white clouds and mist all around, they could not see anything, only the speed of the forward wind, which seemed to be more and more wild. It seems that the next moment is about to tear everything.
The next moment, the moment has arrived!
Like a silent thunder and thunder, the front of the eyes suddenly brightened, and the dazzling light was like a golden rainbow, illuminating the endless world.
The black giant sword leapt out from the depths of the clouds, like a giant black fish jumping out of the sea, drawing a black dazzling wave mark in the endless high sky, and even brought a cloud of mist from the sea of ​​clouds and swayed, like spray Splashing, scattered between heaven and earth.
The dazzling golden crow hung above the western sky, shining ten thousand feet, and above the sea of ​​clouds, a giant peak suddenly appeared, arrogant to the world, and there was a rainbow that pierced through the sky, golden light scorching, twinkling bright, hanging on the peak, looking like a fairyland cave sky, shocking .
The famous mountain of Jinhong is in front of us.
※※※
At this point, the black giant sword slowed down slightly, and slowly approached Jinhong Mountain. The temperature above the sea of ​​clouds was quite low, and the Shenshi Dao was not enough. At this moment, his body even trembled slightly, but he just stared at the distant fairy mountain. At the top, there is the fairy family hall above the majestic peak.
The giant sword approached Jinhong Mountain. It was about a hundred meters away. Du Tiejian suddenly paused. Although everything was invisible and colorless in front of him, Shen Shi clearly felt that the black giant sword seemed to be stagnant, and the next moment, a wave The huge divine consciousness seemed to merge with this fairy mountain, sweeping across their bodies.
The divine thought was so majestic and majestic, it almost gave birth to a feeling of holding one's breath, and Du Tiejian's expression was also solemn, but he didn't make any movements, just stood quietly in the front, letting the divine thought sweep.
After a while, the vast divine thought disappeared, and the stagnation also disappeared. Du Tiejian nodded and arched his hands toward the depths of the Jinhong Mountain. He didn't know what he was paying attention to, so he reminded him again. Moved the black giant sword and continued to fly forward.
The ancient trees on the top of Jinhong Mountain are verdant, and several palaces have been built among the clouds and fog, and there are many pavilions dotted with them, but compared with the huge mountain, it still looks small, but until Du Tiejian brought the sunken stone to the ground, facing When one of the halls was in, Shen Shi discovered that the buildings here are actually quite majestic and tall. Not to mention, the hall in front of you with the plaque written on it is at least fifty feet tall. It is broad and majestic, with extraordinary momentum. .
The pine and cypresses around the Yunxiao Palace form a forest, and a bluestone road leads to the outside of the pine forest. Two large four-legged bronze furnaces with animal kisses are placed on the flat bluestone flat outside the temple, and the light smoke floats slowly, which is even more uninhabited. The forest hall added a bit of quietness.
Du Tiejian glanced at the hall, and said to Shen Shi: "This is the place where my master Huaiyuan lives for retreat on weekdays. Few people come, so it is so quiet. After I go in and give a report, he should ask you something, honestly. Just answer it."
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Du Tiejian didn't say much, and asked Shen Shi to wait under His Highness. He walked up the 36-story stone steps to the outside of Yunxiao Hall, and then pushed open the thick and tall hall door.
When the hall door opened and he looked inside, he suddenly paused, as if he had seen something, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he still walked in.
Shen Shi waited quietly outside the hall, a little nervous in his heart, but more of it was an inexplicable expectation and a little excitement. Now the people in this hall are the immortals standing at the top of the real Hongmeng cultivation world. ?
Not long after Du Tiejian entered, he walked out, stood on the stone steps and waved to Shen Shi, Shen Shi walked over, Du Tiejian shrugged and said, "Go in by yourself."
Shen Shi was startled, and glanced at Du Tiejian. In his mind, he thought that Du Tiejian would also go in with him, but he didn't expect that the real Huaiyuan person seemed to have no such intention. However, he did not intend to have any doubts about the real master of the aloof head teacher. With a bit of anxiety, he took a deep breath, walked towards the half-covered high hall door, walked in, and his figure disappeared at the hall door. In the shadows.
Du Tiejian stretched out, sat down on the stone steps, and placed the black giant sword beside him. He didn't even mean to leave after completing the task. He looked like he was guarding the gate of the palace. Looks like.
Taking a look at the bluestone path under the stone steps in the distance, I saw a faint pine forest and a few birdsong. Du Tiejian was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled. At this time, he heard several humming noises coming from the side. He turned his head to look. , But it was the little black pig who came out from nowhere, with a few pine needles on his head. It seemed that he had ran into the pine forest just now, but there was a half-foot-long red grass in his mouth. Keep chewing there.
Du Tiejian laughed dumbly. He watched the little black pig turn around twice. It seemed that he was a little anxious because he couldn't see Shen Shi, so he waved to it and smiled: "Your master has entered the hall, and you will come out later. Wait here."
Hearing the words, the little black pig ran over and jumped to the top of the stone steps. Although the movement was a bit awkward, the speed was not slow and it looked cute. Du Tiejian smiled and stretched out his hand to touch his head. The little black pig hummed twice, dodged away, and then sat down beside the black giant sword, lying on the ground, chewing the spirit grass in his mouth leisurely.
Du Tiejian smiled and shook his head, without saying anything, the pines and cypresses became a forest, silent.
※※※
After Shen Shi walked into the Hall of Clouds, he felt that his eyes were dimmed first, and then he saw eight giant pillars standing on the hall, supporting the hall with eight trigrams. The hall was flat, golden bricks like a mirror, and the shadows of the people could be vaguely reflected. In the depths of the hall, a few candlelights burned quietly. Under the firelight, several plain wooden futons were placed on the ground, but there were two figures sitting there.
Shen Shi was taken aback. I don’t know why there were two people here, but after he entered the hall, the two eyes in the distance seemed to look over. Although invisible and innocent, Shen Shi felt that he was from the inside out , There is a feeling of being completely transparent in an instant.
He held his breath, resisted the excitement and anxiety in his heart, quickly stepped forward, knelt down to the ground two feet away from the two figures, squatted gently, and said: "Disciple Shen Shi, I have seen the teacher Real people, and..."
In the latter words, he suffocated but didn't know how to call that person. After a while, he heard only a calm but gentle voice, which sounded in front of him. The tone seemed calm and calm, and he said calmly:
"Old man Huaiyuan, this is the elder Huo Ye, the uncle of the master."
Shen Shi's body shook, and even his breathing stopped for an instant, his face crawling on the ground, without lifting it for a while. Even if he had been prepared before, he never expected that he would be welcoming such two great men who looked up and down.
True person Huaiyuan is the head of the sect, and his name has moved the world. Needless to say, the identity of the elder Huo Ye is even more extraordinary. He is the only elder of the Lingxiao Sect who has cultivated to the Tiangang realm, and he is the uncle of the true person of Huaiyuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the treasure of Lingxiaozong Zhenshan.
But at this moment, the two of them were sitting in front of them, and the invisible pressure seemed to be stronger than the ice and cold above the nine clouds outside Jinhong Mountain.
Elder Huo Ye didn't say anything. After a while, he only heard the real Huaiyuan say calmly in front of him:
"Get up, we have something to ask you."
Shen Shi took a few deep breaths, barely controlled his mood and emotions, then gently climbed up, looked up, under the candlelight, on the two futons, the one on the left was wearing a Taoist robe, his eyes were like a star, and his attitude was like a bone. The posture of the fairy wind looks like a god, and it is obviously the real Huaiyuan; and the one sitting on the right is slightly behind, most of the body hidden under the shadow, only about to see the gray hair and the old face.
Shen Shi didn't dare to look more presumptuously, and stood aside respectfully, and after glancing at him with the sinking gaze of the strange stars in the eyes of the real person of Huaiyuan, there was no nonsense, and he said directly:
"Where have you been in these three years?"
Shen Shi's body suddenly became stiff.
