Shen Muzhi woke up at night after leaving the valley.

The place to rest at night was picked by Su Hua, in a pine forest at the foot of a mountain. A stream winds its way out of the mountains, through a pine forest, and finally disappears into a small plain outside the forest.

The six settled down by the stream. The murmuring of the stream, crisp and pleasant, renders this quiet pine forest a bit of paradise-like beauty.

As soon as he settled down, Shen Muzhi woke up.

The faint light of the fire that came into his eyes made him stare at it stunned for a long time, and then the memory finally revived in his mind. When recalling the scene when Ning Xiaoliu walked out of the cloud of smoke and dust with Qi An, who was covered in blood, Shen Muzhi frowned.

He didn't regret that he made a move, and the moment Qi An took out his sword behind his back, he obviously felt that strong killing intent. He never felt soft hearted about those who wanted to kill him.

It's just that in this way, no matter whether he lives or not, he is only afraid that he will cause trouble to the master again.

Thinking of this, Shen Muzhi felt a little guilty.

Su Hua had already noticed it the moment he opened his eyes, but after seeing him open his eyes, he kept staring at the bonfire not far away, so he didn't bother.

She was guarding beside her, and the others kept a certain distance for various reasons, so no one noticed that Shen Muzhi had woken up for a while.

After a long while, Shen Muzhi lay uncomfortably, and when he was about to get up, he finally alarmed several other people.

Bai Yu was the first to rush over.

The first sentence was, "How are you? Does your heart hurt?"

Shen Muzhi glanced at Bai Yu, and although he had doubts in his heart, he still replied according to his words: "It's okay, it's a little painful." ”

After Bai Yu heard this, he hurriedly grabbed his wrist and investigated it carefully.

Shen Muzhi had already noticed that this was not the valley, and the people from the Sword Head Peak were not here, so he took advantage of this moment and asked, "Have we left that valley?"

Bai Yu nodded.

Shen Muzhi looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "That Qi'an...... How's it going?"

"I don't know. Bai Yu replied quickly.

These three words made Shen Muzhi slightly stunned.

"How long have I slept?" he asked after a moment.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Yu let go of his wrist, looked up at him, and said, "Three days." As he spoke, he smiled at him and said, "You don't have to think about anything now, and you don't have to worry about anything, just take care of your injuries." Although you survived this time, your heart was injured twice, and it is already very fragile, so you must be more careful in the future. ”

Shen Muzhi nodded.

His injuries weren't serious at all. It is true that most of his heart veins were broken by Lin Fangfei's sword when he was in Yuhe Peak, but they have already healed and there are no sequelae. That mouthful of blood, which seemed like a lot, was actually just because Qi An's sword hit him right in the back of the heart. The qi and blood in his body were shaken by the power coming from the sword, and he spit it out without suppressing it for a while.

He understood Bai Yu's mind at that time when he asked him to pretend to be dizzy.

However, he didn't expect that he would sleep for three days.

He didn't ask Bai Yu about this, but it was not difficult to guess that it was probably because of the few pills that Bai Yu fed him at that time.

Thinking about it, Bai Yu should be afraid that he would slip in.

Thinking of this, Shen Muzhi raised his eyes and looked at Bai Yu, who had already walked to the other side of the bonfire and sat down, his gaze was slightly complicated. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Bai, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, has such a quick wit, which is really impressive.

In fact, he still has many questions, such as why did Qi'an suddenly do something to him?

He didn't know Qi An, even if he couldn't get used to himself, he wouldn't be so crazy, he dared to attack him in front of everyone, and as soon as he made a move, he came to kill him.

He couldn't figure it out.

It's just that, looking at the way Bai Yu spoke to him before, he knew that this was not the time to say this.

The wind whined through the pine forest, and the sound of rustling sounded in my ears from time to time.

Shen Muzhi sat near Su Hua, thinking about his thoughts in a daze, obviously unable to sleep tonight.

After a few hours, it was getting brighter.

The bonfire had long since been extinguished, leaving a pile of ashes that had long since lost its temperature.

Everyone was about to leave, but Su Hua suddenly stopped Bai Yu and said, "You go first, I will catch up with you." After speaking, he turned his head and instructed Shen Muzhi: "You follow me." ”

Shen Muzhi and Bai Yu were stunned for a moment.

Following Su Hua, Shen Muzhi had no opinion.

Bai Yu hesitated slightly, but then Su Hua asked, 'Do you have an opinion?', he immediately shook his head and said, "No opinion." ”

In front of Su Hua, he always seems to be 'cowardly' very fast.

Su Hua glanced at him, turned around and left.

After Shen Muzhi hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Yu and several others, he immediately chased after him.

Su Hua took him along the stream and went all the way to the mountains.

After walking a distance, Shen Muzhi couldn't help but ask in the back, "Where are we going?"

Su Hua turned his head to look at him, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Has your heart been broken before?"

Shen Muzhi didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded and hummed.

"Can you tell me about it?" Su Hua's always cold voice seemed to have a little more fluctuation.

Shen Muzhi hesitated.

Although that incident was now pressed in his heart, as long as he thought of it, the appearance of that girl would appear in his mind. Occasionally, in the middle of the night, he would hear her screaming in his ear asking why he had tied her there.

He regretted it.

It's just that regret medicine can never be bought in this world.

"Can't you say it?" Seeing that he didn't move, Su Hua turned his head to look at him and asked faintly.

Shen Muzhi came back to his senses and said, "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I ......" At this point, he paused.

After that incident, he had never talked about it to anyone, including Xuan Cheng and He Xian.

But Su Hua is different, she is not from the Great Sword Sect. She's not even human.

Perhaps, someone might as well talk about it.

Perhaps, his heart, which has been suffering, can also get a trace of redemption.

Thinking about it, Shen Muzhi told Su Hua everything about that day. He said it in detail, especially the scene where he tied the girl to the bamboo, and she stared at him and wanted to scold but couldn't.

At that time, the hatred in her eyes was like two sharp swords, piercing all his disguises and making him feel ashamed.

But he was still ruthless, turned his head and left.

Then, it caused a catastrophe, and he didn't even have a chance to remedy it.

These words, which have never been said before, are finally spoken at this moment. He exhaled slightly, looked up at the dappled light and shadow falling between the branches, and narrowed his eyes slightly, his mood was actually very calm.

Su Hua looked at him from the side, and suddenly said, "It wasn't you who killed her." ”

Shen Muzhi retracted his gaze and replied, "Actually, my hands have been stained with the blood of many people. The first person I killed was a martial artist who wanted to kill me. Later, he killed many people one after another. But I have never felt any guilt for the blood of these people, because they did not die unjustly. But this jade girl, although I didn't kill it with my own hands, made me feel the most guilty. When I was a child, I was studying, and there was a saying in the book that you didn't kill Beren, but Beren died because of you. The murderer who took her life was not only that woman, but also me. This is my sin, and I cannot deny it. With that, he smiled wryly.

After Su Hua looked at him with deep eyes, he didn't continue to speak, and continued to walk into the depths of the mountain in silence.

Gradually, the stream was long gone.

The mountains and forests are getting denser, and the shrubs are thicker and thicker everywhere you pass, making it more and more difficult to walk.

The bright sunlight was blocked by the lush foliage, and the forest looked very dark.

I don't know when it started, and the air gradually filled with miasma.

Shen Muzhi was worried that the miasma was poisonous, so he took a pill of detoxification pill and handed it to Su Hua, and at the same time took one himself and put it under his tongue. Su Hua took the antidote pill, but he didn't take it, just put it away.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi was a little puzzled.

Su Hua replied: "This bit of miasma poison is no problem for me. ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he didn't think about it, since it was okay, why did she take that detoxification pill.

The two of them walked for a while, and suddenly the mountain in front of them broke off, and a huge crack appeared in front of them. In the cracks, the wind howled, but there was a thick fog, unmoved, very strange.

The crack is about seven or eight zhang wide, and the opposite side is also a dense mountain forest.

How long the crack is, but it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

As for how deep, it is even more invisible.

Shen Muzhi thought that Su Hua would take him over this crack and continue to move forward, but unexpectedly, he plunged into this foggy crack with one body.

The wind is wrapped in a thick fog, and people can't open their eyes.

Faintly, I can smell a little fishy smell, and I don't know where it comes from.

Su Hua's hand held him tightly, warm and cool, which made people feel at ease.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like a moment, and suddenly there was a solid footfall, and the two fell to the ground.

Shen Muzhi opened his eyes and looked around. In the darkness, you can faintly see a lot of things, growing in this damp subterranean space. About a foot overhead, a thick fog floated and did not permeate.

There was silence all around.

It was so quiet that there was not the slightest sound.

"Beware of these plants, they are poisonous. Su Hua, who was next to him, suddenly whispered.

Shen Muzhi withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Then, Su Hua closed his eyes, as if he was probing something. After a while, she took Shen Muzhi and walked to the left-hand side.

As soon as they moved, there was a rustling sound among the surrounding plants, as if something lurked beneath those plants and was moving with them.

The dense fog that seemed to be static overhead suddenly surged at this moment. It's just that they seem to be stopped by something, and no matter how much they surge, they can't cross the invisible line and fall to the bottom.

Shen Muzhi looked at these movements, his heart was vigilant, and the long sword was quietly held in his hand, waiting for it.
