Chapter 20: Backhand Schemes

Leaving the bloodstained chamber, Shao Heng slowly walked on the mountain path leading to the pine forest guest house, his face still gloomy and full of slaughter.

It wasn't until a ray of golden sunlight crossed the mountain peak and fell on his face that Shao Heng's complexion improved a lot.

Being able to kill Fu Anning this time was really an unexpected joy for Shao Heng. And with Fu Anning's death, a certain place in Shao Heng's heart finally collapsed, and most of the knots in his heart over the years have finally gone.

The mist in the mountains lifted, the golden crows shone on the mountains, and the dots of green began to shine under the light snow.

Shao Heng took a deep breath, and the true yuan in his body flowed through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra as if he had been summoned by something, like a water source that melted in spring, flowing through his body.

With this strange feeling, Shao Heng's mind was empty, and he didn't know where he was. After Zhenyuan had been running in his body for ninety-nine weeks, a stream of hot air rushed straight to the spiritual platform.

Suddenly, Shao Heng's eyes were blank, and the snow-capped mountain in the sea of knowledge shook violently, and countless snowflakes flew and scattered in all directions, revealing a green mountain.

Shao Heng had a strange and complex emotion gushing out of his heart, and his consciousness kept getting closer to the vibrant mountain, trees, flowers and plants, everything was magnifying, as if he was in it.

It was an extremely familiar feeling, and there were many unfamiliar voices lingering in his ears, and the voices were mixed together, and Shao Heng couldn't hear it clearly at all.

As if his consciousness had landed, he stepped onto a lush mountain path, the sound in his ears vanished in an instant, leaving only a gentle and familiar voice beckoning him to walk up.

Shao Heng looked down at his feet, and there was a strong desire in his heart to tell him to step out and go up this road.

He lifted his left foot, but the volley stopped.

His heart was beating violently like a drum, Shao Heng's head ached, and countless consciousnesses told him: "Step down, go out!" But a certain intuition told him that if he took this step, he would be left here forever and lose the identity of "Shao Heng" forever.

"Boom!" Everything in front of him was shattered, and all consciousness returned to the main body, Shao Heng suddenly opened his eyes, but saw that the sun in the sky had only risen slightly.

There was a little sweat behind him, and as soon as the wind blew, Shao Heng felt cold all over his body.

All the scenes of that mountain, when he first entered the cultivation at a young age, he had a similar dream, and when his cultivation grew, the dream disappeared. And this time, it was clear that his own realm had improved, but he suddenly presented such a somewhat dangerous illusion.

Shao Heng was a little glad in his heart, he had come to his senses at this moment, and everything just now did not belong to him. I don't know what would have happened if that step had been taken, but it was never a good thing.

Shao Heng did not guess wrong, if it was just that he was bewitched now and continued to indulge in it, his consciousness would be locked in that ethereal place forever, and even his spirit would be directly wiped out by that powerful force.

Aunt Shao, who was far away in Kunlun, even broke out in a cold sweat, and was a little afraid that she couldn't notice the abnormality in time. She reached out and touched a few unique and unparalleled jade stones beside her, and sighed, "...... Taking the jade seal, my strength has been exhausted a little, and I haven't been able to detect that his realm has increased again, but it's a pity...... In the end, it is better to have a short cultivation age, otherwise if the foundation is sufficient, it will be considered a good thing...... Ahem......"

Suddenly, Aunt Shake coughed violently, and her cuffs gently stroked her lips, stained with a few wisps of golden-red blood. When she saw this, she seemed to be used to it

In general, he only gently pinched his fingers and counted the time, then picked up a jade stone beside him, and used his fingers as a knife, carving meticulously and slowly.

And Shao Heng in Ciyun Zhai came back to his senses and checked his body, and found that the true yuan he had lost a few days ago had been replenished unconsciously. Not only that, he felt that his cultivation level had also reached a higher level, but he didn't have the slightest sign of getting married.

When Shao Heng was wondering, Shen Yuanxi, who had been recuperating for half a day, came out of the Songlin guest house and found Shao Heng standing not far away.

"The golden crow is covered with snow, and the junior brother is so interested. "Although Shen Yuanxi has a solid foundation, but after the battle with the enemy, the true yuan is exhausted, and his internal organs are slightly injured, and he can not be healed in half a day, although his voice is stable, he is still a little lacking in qi.

The elder brother laughed, how could the younger brother have such a good interest, but there were some things that he couldn't understand for a while. When Shao Heng saw Shen Yuanxi, he also explained the doubts in his heart.

Shen Yuanxi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If the Great Realm of Refining God and Returning to Void can be crossed so easily, there should be thousands of Yuanying cultivators in the world." His current realm is actually similar to Shao Heng, but Shen Yuanxi has no anxiety in his heart.

His two venerable elders, Qingning and Qingjing Zhenren, actually had the sign of getting married a few years ago, but they did not reach out to pick the fruits that were close at hand, but continued to practice and realize the Heavenly Heart. It was only recently that Qingning Zhenren realized that the time had come, so he quietly retreated, and Taihao Zhenren and his junior brother Qingjing protected the Dharma outside, and successfully entered a higher realm.

So under the influence of hearing and seeing, Shen Yuanxi was not in a hurry. Shao Heng is different, what he has encountered over the years has always made him have a strong sense of urgency in his heart. Especially in the years of Xingluo Sect, whenever he has the slightest slackness, he will be like sailing against the current, and if he does not advance, he will retreat.

Taking a step back, it may be the difference between life and death.

Shao Heng has indeed made rapid progress over the years, but after all, he lacks orthodox guidance. If Shao Heng didn't have the Kunlun Divine Sword in his hand, it would be difficult for him to match Shen Yuanxi, who was fully capable of performing the Seven Styles of Demon Swinging, with the swordsmanship he had learned before and the six fingers of the Mysterious Falling Light.

Shao Heng knew that he was a little anxious in his heart, so he smiled and diverted the topic.

"You killed Fu Anning?" After Shen Yuanxi learned of this, there was a rare look of surprise on his face.

Fu Anning is not only involved in the truth of Qingyan's real death, but also a clue to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes. Shen Yuanxi knew that Shao Heng hated Fu Anning, but in his opinion, with Shao Heng's temperament, there was no reason to act so impulsively.

"Yes. Shao Heng nodded, "Brother, don't worry, I know it." That Fu Anning is cruel and cunning, and has a stoic temperament, if he wants to take the initiative to get the truth from his mouth, he is afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. And he was forbidden by a person who cultivated to be extremely strong in his body, unless it was a person who cultivated like the real person in charge, it was possible to resolve it unharmed. ”

"Having said that......" Shen Yuanxi just wanted to say the word "pity", but seeing that Shao Heng was not in a hurry, his heart suddenly turned, and he stroked his palm and smiled: "Senior brother looks confident, presumably it must be a thief who made a move this time, and finally revealed the clues." ”

"My brother guessed right, I did guess where the people behind the scenes came from. Speaking of this, Shao Heng couldn't help but show a trace of excitement on his face.

He pursued it for many years, and the enemy forever cut off his trace.

But the things of the world, as long as they are walked, there must be traces. In the past few years, there have been no clues, nothing more than the enemy has not made a big move.

The more you can do, the more holes you have.

Shen Yuanxi's face was still a little pale, but when he heard this, he recovered a little blood because of the agitation in his heart

Se: "But that infant monk that day?"

"Yes. Shao Heng clenched his fists.

If it weren't for the clues, even if there was no way to dig out something from Fu Anning's mouth, he could only spare Fu Anning's life first.

"Some time ago, what the junior brother did in the Star Luo Sect, you already know it, brother. On that day, not only the Demon Dao gathered, but many other forces also participated. ”

Shen Yuanxi nodded: "Yes, just listening to what you say, you know that it is extremely dangerous." ”

Whether it is dangerous or not, it is all a matter of the past, Shao Heng only continued: "On that day, people from all walks of life came one after another, except for the arrangement of the younger brother, the three masters and apprentices of Xuanbai Zhenren in Yuxu Mountain should be at the right time, and I have already expected the rest of the Demon Sects. On the one hand, I never thought about it. ”

Shen Yuanxi's face sank, and three words slowly spit out from his thin lips: "Wanbao Pavilion." ”

"On that day, Wanbao Pavilion had a replica of the inheritance treasure of the Star Luo Sect in his hands, and the son and nephew of the former Elder Cheng of the Star Luo Sect were used as the thirteen shopkeepers, so it must have been planned for a long time, and it was no coincidence. Shao Heng sneered slightly, "Wanbao Pavilion has always prided itself on being a businessman, although I also know that if I want to run such a big business, there must be one or two monks with good strength under it, such as Yun Tingsheng, the predecessor of the demon clan who you and I had a relationship with in the early years, and the second enshrinement of Wanbao Pavilion on the bright side is Ji Beiqiu, who was promoted to the infant stage of the Yuan five years ago. But there were three Yuanying monks who came to the Star Luo Sect with Cheng Fenglei that day. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Heng's tone was quite meaningful: "Before the incident of the Star Luo Sect, counting the Dugu Star who was a hidden cultivator, there were only five Yuanying cultivators. ”

Shen Yuanxi's eyes narrowed.

After that, Shao Heng's tone changed: "Heavenly Demon Valley Xiong Qing and Dugu Ji joined forces to kill the two on the spot, while the other ring-breaking monk disappeared in the formation, and there was no trace after I broke the formation." At that time, I was already suspicious of the strength and purpose of the Wanbao Pavilion, but it was only the death and disappearance of their group that I couldn't be distracted for a while, so I didn't act. Until the day before yesterday......"

"You mean...... On that day, it was a monk who broke his vows in the Moon Tower. Shen Yuanxi used an affirmative tone.

"He slipped away very fast, not only because he was afraid of bumping into the master of Shui Ming'an, but also because he was worried that he would be recognized by me. But it's a pity that the six fingers of the subtle meteor light that I have cultivated are extremely sensitive to qi, and although he tried his best to hide it at the time, he finally revealed a little bit of his true truth when he fought with you and me at the same time. ”

Shen Yuanxi was silent for a moment before he said: "A few years ago, the major families and small sects were attacked after leaving the Lingji Cave, and when they were in Kunlun Mountain, Wanbao Pavilion seemed to be unwilling to embarrass Mr. Xiao, but it was also Wanbao Pavilion who raised his arms first, and then everyone made a trip to Kunlun. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's a good play that they wrote, directed, and acted in. ”

"It's also said that Wanbaoge's business is all over China, well-informed, and financially strong. It's just that they had a good reputation and hid it too well, and we never doubted it. Shao Heng thought of the past and couldn't help but shake his head.

Speaking of which, Shao Heng and Shen Yuanxi slowly returned to the Songlin Guest House together.

Shen Yuanxi said as he walked: "It's a pity...... We have no substantial evidence yet. ”

"Now that you have a goal, you can always find evidence that convinces the factions. Shao Heng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said firmly.

Shen Yuanxi nodded when he heard this, and suddenly he frowned, and his right hand and finger lightly pinched into the void, and he took out a golden jade slip. He pressed the jade slip to the center of his eyebrows, his eyes were full of light, and a little playful smile appeared on his handsome face.
