Chapter 024: Scars
Tao Qingze wiped his cold sweat, he knew that Yan Qingshi was asking him about Qin Yuxing, who was trapped in the formation, and said, "There is still no movement." ”
Yan Qingshi's face couldn't see joy and anger, which made Tao Qingze even more uncomfortable.
Tao Qingze couldn't help but plead: "Senior brother, what mistake did Yu Xing make?" His cultivation is still shallow, and he has no training, how can he break my formation so easily? It's better for you to sell me a face, senior brother, just let him out, he is still a child, and it is still too late to go back and correct it well. ”
Feelings Tao Qingze thought that Qin Yuxing had made a mistake, and Yan Qingshi asked him to come to Tao Qingze's formation to be punished.
Yan Qingshi didn't respond to his words and said, "How is he doing inside?" ”
Tao Qingze choked: "He ran a few laps in the formation in a panic at first, and finally had no strength to find a place to rest, but his luck was not bad, and he found the loophole in my formation by mistake, but he was not injured much, but now his physical strength can't support it, and his breath is already very weak." ”
Looking at Yan Qingshi, there was no change in his expression, and he sighed: "I don't know what that kid is thinking now, he has been trapped in Xuyang Peak for more than ten days, and his master has not reacted at all." ”
Yan Qingshi's pupils shrank, as if he had thought of something, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Let him out." ”
Tao Qingze was more like a person trapped in the formation, and when he heard this, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
When Mu Shuning saw the outside world again, he no longer had the strength to stand up, and it was the four disciples of Tao Qingze who carried him up the mountain to Xie Feng, Yan Qingshi looked at Mu Shuning, who was weak, and his eyes did not fluctuate.
Tao Qingze couldn't help but feel a little pity, so he let Xie Feng take Mu Shuning down to rest first.
Tao Qingze was wiping a cold sweat, and suddenly heard the senior brother in charge beside him say: "Back then, the first time I came to Xuyang Peak's Shu Ning, it took four days to break your array. ”
Tao Qingze was frightened by Yan Qingshi, and looked at him with a frightened expression. Mu Shuning's name, he hadn't heard Yan Qingshi mention it for a long time.
Tao Qingze didn't want to continue talking to Yan Qingshi, the cold sweat on his face couldn't be wiped clean, and he said, "Senior brother, I'll go see my nephew first." ”
Yan Qingshi instructed: "If he mentions his intentions to you, you can help him." ”
Tao Qingze said: "Then for sure, senior brother, you don't have to worry. ”
Yan Qingshi turned to leave, hiding all the expressions on his face in the shadows.
Xie Feng brought a bowl of porridge to Mu Shuning and asked him to replenish his strength, Mu Shuning thanked Xie Feng and ate it one bite at a time.
Xie Feng looked at him chewing slowly even if he was extremely hungry, and sighed: "The master is still too strict with you. ”
Mu Shuning swallowed the porridge in his mouth before he spoke: "Master Yan is a high apprentice." ”
Xie Feng shook his head: "The master has been here since the third day you entered the formation, and he has been drinking tea in the hall with the master, knowing that you are having a hard time, he will not let go at all, the master has pleaded for you many times, and the master and uncle have refused to let you go, or finally you have your life in danger before you let go." ”
Mu Shuning's eyes suddenly sank: "Master has always been?" ”
Xie Feng shook his head: "I left just now." ”
Yan Qingshi left, but Mu Shuning didn't dare to relax, he couldn't understand why Yan Qingshi would wait for him at Xuyang Peak for ten days, but now he didn't even see him.
When Mu Shuning felt that his body was better, Tao Qingze happened to come over.
Mu Shuning saluted and said, "Uncle Shi." ”
Tao Qingze motioned for Xie Feng to go out. Xie Feng was very obedient and took out the empty bowl with his hand.
Tao Qingze sat on the chair and said, "Yuxing, I heard that you came to me for something?" ”
Mu Shuning knew that Yan Qingshi must have greeted Tao Qingze in advance, so he got straight to the point: "I found a piano in the Taixu Secret Realm, named Ghost Yuan. ”
As soon as he heard "Ghost Yuan", Tao Qingze's face changed instantly, and he twisted his eyebrows and said, "Demon Qin Ghost Yuan? ”
It was the first time Mu Shuning had heard this statement, and he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, waiting for an explanation.
Tao Qingze said: "The reason why the Demon Qin Ghost Yuan is called the Ghost Yuan is that it has an ability similar to the advancement of monks, that is, promotion, you must have heard of it. ”
Mu Shuning nodded.
"The ghost abyss will confuse the player's mind, make people's hearts change greatly, the so-called demons, and even in turn suck the master's essence blood to make themselves upgraded, it is extremely difficult to control, only by truly subduing it can it become your own weapon, you must not take risks at this time."
Mu Shuning twisted his eyebrows: "But I once sent spiritual power into it, and there was no reaction at first, but the last time it began to reject my spiritual power, and even fought back against me, the master explained that the ghost yuan had a machine spirit." ”
Tao Qingze explained: "I had done research on the ghost abyss, you really found the right person, it is not completely wrong to say that it is the instrument spirit, the ghost abyss has its own spiritual sense, but this kind of spiritual knowledge is completely different from the instrument spirit, the instrument spirit will protect and help its master, but the ghost abyss is not, it will screen its own host, if it does not look down on it, naturally there will be no reaction, your cultivation is too low, I am afraid that it will not make the ghost abyss tempted, and everything will naturally pursue the strong." ”
"But this is just right, the variables of subduing the ghost abyss are too large, and it is extremely difficult to succeed, I have a few good pianos here, you can pick one."
Mu Shuning didn't speak, he looked straight at Tao Qingze: "I want to become stronger, uncle." ”
Tao Qingze was stunned: "But ......"
"Uncle Shi, this is my own choice, when I was looking for the ghost abyss, I was almost trapped in the peak of the secret realm and couldn't get out, at that time I thought about it, no matter what the process is, I will let the ghost abyss be used by me, and I will also use its power to stand at the peak of the cultivation realm."
To be honest, Tao Qingze, who heard this, had all his good feelings for Mu Shuning.
"Senior nephew, it's a good thing for young people to be a little ambitious, but you can't be arrogant and self-sufficient."
Mu Shuning knew that Tao Qingze didn't have a good impression of him, so he still insisted: "Uncle Shi, I want this piano." ”
Tao Qingze pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Then I have nothing to help you, since you said it yourself, then you go back to improve your cultivation, find a good time, and let it recognize the master, but in the end, you fell into the devil, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
Mu Shuning saw that Tao Qingze was angry with him, and he didn't say much, just silently waited for Tao Qingze to finish his anger, kneel on the ground and salute and leave.
Tao Qingze sighed deeply after Mu Shuning left.
Mu Shuning returned to Wanjian Peak and saw Yan Qingshi standing in the courtyard. At that moment, Mu Shuning didn't know if he was dazzled, he actually felt that Yan Qingshi had a sad look in his eyes.
"Master?"
Yan Qingshi looked down at him: "Can you get the answer?" ”
Mu Shuning nodded: "The disciple's strength is low now, and he has not yet reached the qualification of the ghost yuan to recognize the master, the disciple has renamed it 'Freehand', and in the next few days, the disciple will practice diligently, and strive to make Freehand recognize me as the master." ”
Yan Qingshi nodded: "If you encounter problems in your cultivation, you can find a teacher or your senior brother." ”
Mu Shuning naturally knew that Yan Qingshi was just a polite remark, not to mention that he didn't want to reveal to others the information that he had obtained the inheritance of the Ling Immortal Cultivator's "Liuju Cheat Sheet", although he was thanking him on the surface, he still wanted to be himself in his heart.
Yan Qingshi seemed to see through his thoughts, so he said: "Every word that the teacher says is sincere. ”
Mu Shuning's heart trembled: "The disciple doesn't dare to doubt the master. ”
Yan Qingshi turned around and left. Mu Shu stared at Yan Qingshi's back and froze in place.
Yan Qingshi said just now that everything he said was sincere.
Mu Shuning remembered that there was a natural hot spring in the back mountain of Wan Jianfeng, and he had been trapped in the formation for more than ten days, and his mind and body were exhausted, so he wanted to wait until night to go to that hot spring to take a good dip.
So he did, and he did.
He had just walked near the hot springs when he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from inside.
Mu Shuning's heart shrank suddenly, someone!
He hid behind the bushes, and lightly broke a small gap in the branches and leaves, trying to see what was going on.
The first thing I saw was a black tunic neatly folded next to the stone.
When he saw the person in the hot spring clearly, Mu Shuning felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.
The person in the pool is Yan Qingshi.
Yan Qingshi is tall and thin, so naturally he doesn't have to pick, he has been practicing swords all year round, and his body is covered with a layer of muscles, not excessive, just right, and he looks very explosive. At this time, his long hair was scattered behind his back, and the water vapor was thick, which made Yan Qingshi a little more humane.
At this time, Mu Shuning's eyes caught something.
On Yan Qingshi's right shoulder, there was a dark brown scar that extended to the lower left, and the end was blocked by Yan Qingshi's hair, and Mu Shuning couldn't see it.
At this moment, Yan Qingshi seemed to feel something, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he looked in the direction where Mu Shuning was. Mu Shuning immediately held his breath and didn't even dare to move. Now that it was dark and there were shrubs to hide his figure, Mu Shuning firmly believed that Yan Qingshi had not found him.
Yan Qingshi turned sideways, and his hair was all in front of him, and Mu Shuning also happened to see the scar on Yan Qingshi's back at this time.
It was an extremely long, thin scar that ran diagonally from the right shoulder to the left rib.
Mu Shuning gasped.
Yan Qingshi looked at it for a while, then turned his head back.
Mu Shuning couldn't help but guess the origin of the wound on Yan Qingshi's back.
Yan Qingshi's cultivation in the early stage of the Tribulation was already at the top of the cultivation realm, and no one would be able to hurt him at all, but if this was the case, where did the scar on his back come from? Could it be that he split it himself? And the wound was extremely uneven, as if it had been cut straight by something.
Mu Shuning was about to exhale and leave, when he suddenly heard a cold voice in his ear: "It's you?" ”
Mu Shuning looked up in horror, and when he saw Yan Qing, he had already dressed at some point, holding Cangwu in his hand, half an inch out of the sheath, and the top of the scabbard was pointing at his heart.
