Chapter 21: The Fighting Beast
"Qi Shanshan! Are you bullying her again while I'm not doing it! As soon as Chen He, who had just entered the door, saw the two standing face to face, he immediately became vigilant, and immediately ran over to block between the two, frowned and looked at Qi Shanshan in front of him, and did not forget to turn around and say to Shen Sangsang, "It's okay, you will tell me if she bullies you again in the future!" ”
Shen Sangsang looked at Chen He who was blocking him, snickered, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's really okay, she is now my apprentice, and I will only bully her in the future." ”
"What?!" After hearing this, Chen He's face was full of surprise, and he immediately turned to look at Shen Sangsang, "Will she still apprentice?" ”
Qi Shanshan behind Chen He pursed her lips disdainfully: "You Chen Xiaogongzi really have a lot of care!" ”
"What are you talking about!" Chen He turned to look at Qi Shanshan dissatisfied, "It's not appropriate to be a good young lady, but you can apprentice?" Qi Shanshan, are you sure you don't have a fever? ”
"Chen He!" After hearing this, Qi Shanshan immediately chased after Chen He angrily and fought.
Chen He was chased all over the house by her like this, and shouted as she ran: "Good men don't fight with women, Qi Shanshan, don't force me!" Don't cry your nose and look for your dad when the time comes! ”
"I'm going to force you, what's wrong?!" Qi Shanshan shouted as she chased him, her tone full of anger.
Shen Sangsang stood aside and looked at the two, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked into the house to continue to pack up his things.
When it was time for class, Qi Shanshan had no choice but to leave and go to the school, Chen He covered her neck scratched by her nails and walked to Shen Sangsang's room with an aggrieved face, looked at her busy figure and asked, "Master, where are you going?" ”
Shen Sangsang replied while cleaning up: "I may have to leave Bingzhou in a few days, and I will leave when I come back from my errands these days." ”
"Leave the state?" Chen He hurriedly walked in and asked her, "Why did you leave all of a sudden?" Haven't you just entered the Qingshu Gate for a long time? ”
"After all, what I learned in Qingshumen is limited, I think it may be more useful to go out on my own, I don't like to be bound by some rules." Shen Sangsang replied, "Besides, the ghost snake in the state has suppressed the cultivation of soul power, so if you want to go further, you must go out and have a look." ”
Chen He looked at her a little distracted: "So you have already decided, right?" ”
"Well, what's wrong?" Shen Sangsang saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked.
"Hmm......" Chen He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I'll be with you!" It just so happens that I'm also going out to see the world, maybe it will be useful for my soul art practice! ”
Shen Sangsang looked at him and smiled lightly: "You are with me?" Will your family agree? Isn't it good to stay in Chen Qi Town to be your little son Chen? ”
"What's in it for me to always stay here? Here, just because I am the little son of the Chen family, no one dares to compete with me with real strength, so it is better to go out and have a long experience. Chen He said, "What's more, I also promised the master to take care of you." ”
"If you just come with me, it's very hard along the way, can you stand it?" Shen Sangsang asked.
Chen He's face was full of firmness: "The master is not afraid of hardship!" ”
"I have no opinion, if you join me, I will definitely protect you and help you improve your cultivation, after all, you are Liang Yiyu's apprentice. It's just that your family ......" Shen Sangsang was still a little embarrassed, even if Chen He had this idea, but he was the most favored little son of the Chen family, how could his family agree to let him go out on an adventure? What's more, he is only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Chen He waved his hand disapprenously: "It's okay, I have a way." ”
Chen He, who returned home, started a hunger strike in order for his family to agree......
Shen Sangsang, who was busy with the things in hand, thought of the agreement with Yan Zhiyu, so he touched the mark on his wrist three times, but this time it was not like before, Shen Sangsang waited for a long time and did not wait for Yan Zhiyu, feeling very strange, thinking about whether he would have something to do, or did not pay attention, so he sat at the table and touched the mark on his wrist three times if he had nothing to do, until late at night Yan Zhiyu still did not show up, which made Shen Sangsang couldn't help but be a little worried, and muttered in a low voice: "He won't be in danger, right?" ”
After a while, she said to herself, "No, he's so powerful, who can hurt him?" After a while, she thought about it: "No, I usually came here a long time ago, why don't I react at all now?" ”
Thinking of this, Shen Sangsang stood up with a "swish": "Nothing really happened to him, right?" ”
"You're so worried about me?" A familiar voice came into Shen Sangsang's ears, she immediately identified the person, turned her head with a smile, and sure enough, she saw Yan Zhiyu who slowly appeared.
"So you're fine!" She smiled in surprise and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Zhiyu looked at her for a long time, and there was a little more complicated look in his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "Shen Sangsang, if one day you find out that I have hidden something important to you from you, what will you do?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Sangsang looked at him with some confusion, feeling that he was a little strange, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”
"What will you do?" Yan Zhiyu insisted.
Shen Sangsang saw that he was so serious, so he replied: "If you are hiding something that is important to me, then you should have your own reasons." Aren't we friends? I'm sure you're hiding it from me for my own good. She smiled at him, hoping he would feel at ease.
"Really?"
"There is no lie." Shen Sangsang looked at him seriously and said, "Actually, I really regard you as a friend, I actually don't trust a person so easily, although we have known each other for a short time, I don't know you, but you have an aura that makes me feel very familiar, indescribable familiarity." ”
Yan Zhiyu smiled and looked at her quietly: "Really?" "When one day she knows what she is hiding from her, will she still feel that such an aura is trustworthy? It's just that he doesn't want to tell her, there is no why.
"Of course!" She laughed and said, "So you're hiding something from me, right?" ”
"No, I'm just asking." He replied, "Let's go, go with me on something." ”
After speaking, Yan Zhiyu took Shen Sangsang to a restaurant in the Lingzhou Continent, and asked the shopkeeper how many rooms were left, but found that there was only one room left. Shen Sangsang stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "There is only one room here, there are two of us, why don't we change to a restaurant?" ’
"Girl, almost all the restaurants around here are full, and I have only one left. Doesn't this happen to catch up with the five-year beast fighting in the Lingzhou Continent? The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Fighting beasts? Shen Sangsang looked at Yan Zhiyu suspiciously, but Yan Zhiyu just smiled at her, and then took out five spirit stones and put them in front of the shopkeeper: "We want this room until the end of the beast fight." ”
"Okay! Guest upstairs please! The shopkeeper smiled and put away the spirit stone and led the two upstairs.
In the room, Shen Sangsang glanced at the only bed left in the room with some embarrassment, and asked, "Just one bed, how can the two of us sleep?" Sleeping together? ”
"That's a good idea." Yan Zhiyu looked at her and smiled lightly, but there was some seriousness.
Shen Sangsang raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was just joking with himself: "Okay, I'm afraid that it will damage your reputation." ”
Yan Zhiyu raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, and narrowed his eyes: "Then I'm really scared." After speaking, he stood up, walked in front of Shen Sangsang, stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist and walked to the side of the bed, saying as he walked, "I'm really tired, let's go to bed first." ”
Shen Sangsang was startled, immediately shook off his hand, and said with a smile: "I just joked, in this way, you sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the ground." ”
Yan Zhiyu sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her with interest, and beckoned to her: "Come here." ”
His voice was neither light nor heavy, but it revealed a little majesty, and the people who listened to it couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Shen Sangsang immediately coughed a few times pretendedly: "I'm really just joking. ”
"I'm not kidding you." Yan Zhiyu turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of seriousness.
Shen Sangsang blinked innocently, Yan Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, he stood up, took out two quilts from the cabinet on the side, spread them on the ground on the side, and lay down: "You go to bed and sleep." ”
"That's embarrassing!" Shen Sangsang was full of smiles, ran to the bed and took off his shoes and covered the quilt.
Yan Zhiyu glanced at her with doting eyes, then supported his head with his hands, turned to face Shen Sangsang sideways and said, "Don't you want to know what a fighting beast is?" ”
Shen Sangsang also immediately turned sideways to look at him, his face full of curiosity: "Of course I want to know, what is a fighting beast?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”
"That only means that you are lonely." Yan Zhiyu said, "As the name suggests, fighting beasts are used to fight. Each soul master can bring his own mysterious beast, or you can choose a mysterious beast at the special mysterious beast sales office in the Colosseum, and compete with each other in the ring, and those who win the game can get a generous reward, including many treasures. ”
"Compare with the Mysterious Beast?" Shen Sangsang was a little puzzled.
"Yes, use the Mysterious Beast to compete. In fact, the fighting beast is held in every state except for the annexed state, and it is on a grand scale. Fighting beasts is not allowed in your state, mainly because you and the state feel that the ghost is guarding you, and there are not many forests in the state, only a large forest around the ghost snake, so the state has always prohibited the fight of beasts, and I feel that the fighting of beasts is too cruel, which is disrespectful to the ghost. Yan Zhiyu explained, "In your merger state, due to the suppression of ghosts, the abilities of the Xuan Beast and the Soul Master have been greatly restricted, and this restriction is generally lifelong. The highest soul master in the Bingzhou Continent cannot go up after breaking through the full level of the Apocalypse Master, but in the other continents, there are still many levels above the Apocalypse Master. For example, the soul cultivation level of other continents was originally awakened, and there are also condensation essence, condensing pill, condensing crystal, primordial spirit, pure spirit, possession, true spirit, flying sky, etc., for example, the master of your Qingshumen is the three-grade soul master of the primordial spirit. ”
"In your Bingzhou Continent, the level division of these soul masters is very different from the outside world, because of the ghosts, the soul cultivation of Bingzhou is disordered, because of the inability to break through the limit, the ancestors of Bingzhou began to set a set of soul cultivation for the people of Bingzhou, and began to combine cultivation. For example, refiners, alchemists, and soul catchers who specialize in forming professions, and even soul fighters have gradually formed a professional trend of fighting souls to win rewards. The same as the other continents, it is actually what we call the Apocalypse Master, and it has another name for the other continents, which is Condensation. ”
"Mysterious beasts also have grades in various continents, such as ordinary, mysterious, legendary, epic, etc., the classification of mysterious beasts is more refined than that of soul masters, and the classification of mysterious beasts not only depends on the age, but also depends on the variety of mysterious beasts, cultivation. For example, the 10,000-year-old Gu beast you encountered in the ghost snake was a legendary-level mysterious beast. Beast fighting has a long history, according to the number of years and the different organizers, the remuneration is also different, basically all high-level beasts are operated by the Gods and Demons Continent, such as the current five-year beast fight, the organizer is one of the six major families of the Gods and Demons Continent, the Huangqi family. ”
Shen Sangsang nodded: "So that's the case, so you brought me here to see the world?" ”
Yan Zhiyu smiled: "I brought you here because I recently found a very unusual Mysterious Beast aura, which is exactly the same as the aura of power in your body. So, I'm bringing you here to find the beast, and you need to make it confess. ”
"It's the same as the aura of power in my body?" Shen Sangsang sat up from the bed with a "swoop", got out of bed and sat directly in a corner where Yan Zhiyu slept.
Yan Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then sat up, faced her, and said, "Yes, it's the same." ”
Shen Sangsang frowned, and there was already a lot of curiosity in his heart: "So, as long as you figure out the origin of that mysterious beast, it is more likely to understand the origin of the power in my body, right?" ”
"You can say that, but the chances are slim, after all, the mysterious beast can't speak." Yan Zhiyu patiently explained, "But once the Mysterious Beast recognizes its master, a sense of induction will form between the Mysterious Beast and its owner, and this induction may tell you something. ”
The two chatted like this for a long time, Yan Zhiyu patiently explained to her what it was to recognize the Lord and other questions, and she didn't know how long she chatted, but in the end, Shen Sangsang's eyelids were heavy, and one fell asleep without holding back. Yan Zhiyu looked at Shen Sangsang, who was suddenly unconscious, his eyes softened a lot, he picked her up and put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her side face: "Shen Sangsang, how can you tell me to be good to you......"
How can I make you forget Liang Yiyu, so that you can give yourself a place in your heart, even a small piece?
This is really a stupid girl, as if she didn't see her heart at all.
It's just that for so long, why did I like such a girl? Was it because she was her child, or was it because she was a different being to him?
Thinking of this, Yan Zhiyu slowly withdrew his hand, lay down where he slept, put his hands behind his head, and gently closed his eyes. In the dream, he was still the lonely black dragon, until the arrival of the immortal monarch named Jianxing let him know what light is.
