Chapter 5: Leaving the Church

Early in the morning, the residence of the disciples of Yangjingtang. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

"Hey, hey, big lazy worm, can't you get up when the sun is on your buttocks?"

Shi Xin was lying on the bed and was pinched by Zhao Xiaoying's nose, and he was a little breathless, so the boss reluctantly woke up from his sleep.

"Whew, whew... Senior sister, you... Do you want to make money and kill yourself?" said Shi Xin breathlessly.

Zhao Xiaoying smiled and said disdainfully: "Cut, what wealth do you have that I can seek?" At this time, she sat on the edge of the bed completely ignoring the reserve that a girl should have, her feet swinging in the air, quite like a little witch in the world.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you, the second senior brother is back. ”

Shi Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly came to his senses: "What, the second senior brother is back?"

"This girl can't lie to you, and I'm in the front hall with my father. Didn't I hear from the elder brother that you were going down the mountain today?"

"Ah, I almost forgot!" Shi Xin slapped his forehead and shouted.

After Zhao Xiaoying's reminder, he remembered that he was going down the mountain today, and he was in a hurry preparing to dress, and he remembered that one of Zhao Xiaoying's daughters was still in the house, and he was a little embarrassed.

"This, junior sister, you... uh..."

"Okay, okay, I don't look at it, I don't look at it, I'll go to the dining room and help you bring the food." ”

After Zhao Xiaoying walked out, Shi Xin quickly put on his clothes, washed up and thought about what to bring down the mountain. It's just that apart from a few changes of clothes, there doesn't seem to be anything left to take.

Zhao Xiaoying came back quickly, and saw that he had "ravaged" a good burden almost out of shape, which was angry and funny. After putting down the meal and scolding "what a fool", he grabbed the burden and sorted it out skillfully.

After all, it was the daughter's family who was careful, and after a while, she took care of the burden beautifully and neatly.

Yangjingtang, front hall.

Zhao Huanran sat upright on the first seat, and there was a person standing respectfully next to him, with a medium build, a thin face, dressed as a lay disciple.

"Master, when the disciple went up the mountain, he saw that there were suddenly more guards at the bottom of the mountain, could it be that something happened?" Yu Qianzheng asked softly.

"The eight halls of trial method are imminent, and your master is afraid that there will be a mistake, so you will send more people, don't worry. Zhao Huanran asked again: "Have you caught up with the 'Xuanming Sword'?"

Yu Qianzheng shook his head: "The disciple tried to stop the Xuanming Sword many times, but he didn't wait for the spell to be trapped by it, and chased it until the eastern sea disappeared without a trace, and the search was fruitless, and then he rushed back to Yuming." ”

'The sea?' Do the people of Linxian Island know about this?" Zhao Huanran frowned.

"There shouldn't be, the disciple doesn't dare to act rashly. ”

Zhao Huanran pondered for a moment, and didn't ask again: "Forget it, the artifacts in the world have their own spirituality, and very people can control them." You've just come back, so get some rest. ”

Yu Qianzheng secretly scolded himself for being incompetent, but he was also puzzled in his heart, although he didn't know about the past that had been sealed for many years, he had heard some of it. The Xuanming Divine Sword was the magic weapon of that master, and since the battle more than two hundred years ago, it had been protected by Yangjing, why did he leave suddenly? He was puzzled, but he didn't ask.

Shi Xin and Zhao Xiaoying walked through the corridor together, came to the front hall to prepare to bid farewell to the master, and when they met Yu Qianzheng retreating, Zhao Xiaoying secretly made a grimace at him, but did not speak.

Zhao Huanran saw Shi Xin and the others coming, and greeted: "Are you going down the mountain?"

Shi Xin replied, "Yes, Master." ”

Zhao Xiaoying ran forward, grabbed Zhao Huanran with both hands, and begged: "Dad, let me go down the mountain to play for a few days, okay?"

Zhao Huanran already knew what his daughter wanted to say, glared at her, and asked, "Why don't I let you go back to Qiushui Hall for a while?"

"Ah, forget it, I'd better practice the Dao obediently. Zhao Xiaoying pouted when she heard this, looking really reluctant.

Zhao Huanran ignored her, and then told Shi Xin to be careful and return to Yangjing Yunyun early, so Shi Xin retreated from the front hall.

As soon as he came out of the front hall, Shi Xin saw He Laifeng and Yu Qianzheng, and the two of them also loved this little junior brother very much, so they waited here.

"Hey, what about the little sister, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she still seems to be so naughty. Yu Qianzheng opened his mouth and said with a smile.

"I guess I'm begging the master to let her go down the mountain. ”

"What, the little junior sister also wants to go down the mountain?" Yu Qianzheng asked with a smile.

Shi Xin nodded: "But the master didn't agree, otherwise I would ......"

"Ahem..."

Seeing that Yu Qianzheng was coughing suddenly, Shi Xin asked with concern, "Senior brother went down the mountain to suffer from the cold?"

Yu Qianzheng blushed and shook his head in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xin didn't notice his strange expression at all, and then said just now: "Fortunately, Master didn't agree, otherwise I would ......"

"Ahem, ahem......"

Another cough interrupted Shi Xin, but this time it was He Lai Feng. He looked over a little strangely, but saw He Laifeng secretly making a look at him.

Shi Xin felt a little bad, and at the same time, there was a faint cool air behind him. He slowly turned around and saw Zhao Xiaoying standing behind him at this time. It turned out that he was only talking just now, but because he turned his back to the front hall, he didn't notice that Zhao Xiaoying had already followed. The two senior brothers had the heart to remind, but how could Shi Xin, the elm pimple, know. Now I was caught and embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Shixin, go on, otherwise what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xiaoying said gently.

"No...... Don't talk about it, no ...... It's nothing. However, the more gentle he was, the more frightened Shi Xin became, and he knew that he was very calm before the storm.

"Ahh

After tossing like this, Zhao Xiaoying asked, "Second Senior Brother, why did you go down the mountain, why did it take so long to come back?"

Shi Xin rubbed his aching arm and looked at Yu Qianzheng curiously.

"Well, don't leak it, don't leak it, hehe. Yu Qianzheng smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, you won't say it. ”

He Laifeng couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, so he said: "Second brother, don't tease the little junior sister, Shi Xin should go down the mountain." ”

Shi Xin put the burden on his back at this time, and turned his hand to sacrifice the Sheyun Sword.

Yu Qianzheng said at this time: "There are countless treasures in this world, but the most practical and powerful artifacts are generally made of the most simple materials in the world. The treasure of the town sect of this sect, the 'Phantom Immortal Sword', is a collection of heaven and earth aura...... "Yu Qianzheng's words are intoxicating, like the water of the Yellow River gushing endlessly.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoying was afraid that she would not be able to stop for an hour or two, so she simply blocked her ears with her hands and stopped listening to her second senior brother's nagging.

He Laifeng took out a bag of finely broken silver and said to Shi Xin: "There are many emergencies in the world, bring more entanglements, go quickly, be careful all the way." ”

Shi Xin took the silver and nodded: "Don't worry, senior brother." ”

He took a step forward and stepped onto the Sheyun Sword, waved goodbye to everyone in mid-air, and disappeared into the sky.

Over there, Yu Qianzheng was still in the process of self-edification, and when he came back to his senses, Shi Xin was already gone.

"Hey, what about that kid in Shixin?"

"I'll leave when you talk about the gossip array, hahaha......"

"Hey, this stinky boy, don't listen to me. ”

Zhao Xiaoying said with disdain: "Second Senior Brother, I'm afraid that I will take a detour after listening to you, right?"

"Hahaha, the little sister is reasonable, and ...... is reasonable"

"Nonsense......"

After Shi Xin left, the three of them made a lot of noise before they dispersed.

Flying above the blue sky, accompanied by white clouds, Shixin is in a good mood. After a stick of incense, I heard the morning bell, and there were a few wild cranes flying in the distance, but the fog was rising, and I couldn't see it really.

The wind, gently brushing the corners of his clothes, lifted the ends of his hair. The Sheyun Sword turned into a meteor in the air and galloped past.

This sword riding the wind technique is the third level of the Heavenly Secret Method "Xuantian Heart Formula". He had already mastered this technique since he broke through the third layer of the "psychic" realm two years ago, and he was in a good mood at the moment, and he was much faster to take up the sword.

After all, this was the first time he had come down from Tianchuan Mountain eleven years ago. At that time, he was only an ignorant child of six or five years old, but now he is already a disciple of this great sect of cultivation. Time flies, and I can't imagine that it has been eleven years.

He quietly retracted his thoughts and lowered his head, "I'm afraid it's almost past the Chengling Hall, right?" Thinking like this, the sword didn't stop under his feet.

The sky is high and the clouds are thick, and the surroundings are full of white expanse, and I don't know how long I have been flying, and I still can't see anything under my feet.

After flying forward like this for a while, Shi Xin looked around, and at this time, he saw that the white cranes that were in the clouds were also gone. He chuckled lightly, shook his head, and estimated the earth boundary slightly, and then changed his technique, and the sword under his feet immediately tilted slightly, and slowly flew downward.

The layers of white clouds were gently dispersed by the Sheyun Sword, and the stone core was already vaguely visible under the foot, and sure enough, it had passed the Tianzha Mountain Range that plunged straight into the clouds. After some consideration, he decided to choose a secluded place to whereabout. With his eyes swept slightly, he saw that there was no one at the foot of a barren mountain, and when he was happy, he flew straight towards the foot of the barren mountain.

I saw a white light in the middle of the air, standing on the ground with the momentum of a meteor. Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Xin put away the Sheyun Sword, and then recalled in his heart that the senior brother He Laifeng was about to go: Tianqi Mountain is located in a remote area, the mountains are majestic, not as good as another righteous sect Jingqi Temple incense is prosperous, there are only some small villages around Tianqi Mountain, if you want to settle down and rest, it is best to go to the "Xiqiao Ancient City" as well.

As for where this Xiqiao City is, He Laifeng only gave a general direction, and only said that he would go north and arrive in less than an hour or two. Xiqiao City is the nearest large-scale ancient city to Tianqi Mountain, and it is also the only way to Tianqi Mountain from the outside world, with a long history of no less than 1,000 years.

Shicai went down with his own sword, but I am afraid that there is still some distance from the ancient city, and it is still early, so it is better to walk first. Thinking so, he immediately set foot on the ancient road. The breeze is gentle, the flowers and butterflies are dancing, and there is a scenery of their own.

After walking like this, I walked for most of the day, the sky was setting, and it was already evening when I arrived at Xiqiao City. I thought that Edgeworth was extremely fast, but I was afraid that I would be seen by mortals and cause unnecessary trouble, so Ishishin ended up walking.

The construction style of the river bridge city is simple, the construction style is magnificent, and the ancient city wall does not know how many vicissitudes of life have passed. Along the city is a moat in the shape of "Hui", the river water is clear, and you can see swimming fish. The city is full of roads, noisy markets, and crowded crowds, even if it is almost night. Shi Xin came down the mountain for the first time, and he had never seen many things, and his eyes looked around, looking very happy.

A girl who suddenly appeared accidentally bumped into him, only to hear her apologize repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ......" so that before Shi Xin could see her face clearly, she hurriedly disappeared into the crowd, Shi Xin couldn't help but shake her head and laughed, how could she be so reckless, but she didn't care.

Looking at the last rays of light in the sky slowly fading, Shi Xincai chuckled and said to himself: "It's better to find a place to settle first." ”

Walking around the noisy street market, he came to the door of a small inn, antique, with two layers of upper and lower structures, and thought: "If the silver taels are not enough, it is not impossible to find a secluded and clean place outside the city to sleep for one night......" Thinking about it, he touched the money bag on his waist, this touch was dumbfounded, not that the bulging money bag became empty, but it was not much worse, he quickly opened it to see, but there were only some scattered silver taels left.

Shi Xin wanted to cry without tears, and said that money is something outside the body, but now it has really become something "outside the body", and it is no longer on himself. secretly scolded himself for saying that he was going to spend the night in the wilderness, but this time it was not fulfilled on the spot. But he was not stupid, thinking back to the girl who appeared just now, it became clear in a moment that she did the tricks and feet, but the sea of people was vast, not to mention that the face was not seen clearly, where to find her? Now it is too late to regret it, and he can only blame himself for being careless and falling for the woman.

He reluctantly flipped the money bag in his hand. The woman still had some conscience, and she left some broken silver, and she didn't know if it was enough to stay for one night.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something again, he reached out and touched his arms in a little panic, and took out a ring with silk thread from his underwear. I don't know what kind of spar the ring is made of, it is crystal clear, and it looks a little shining in the sunlight. I don't know which skilled craftsman carved and polished it, and there is a delicate camellia carved on it, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.

He seemed to care very much about this piece of jewelry, and when he saw that this thing was not lost, he quietly put away the ring with camellia close to his body, and then walked towards the inn.

At this time, in a dilapidated Chenghuang Temple not far from the city, a group of ragged children were gathered among a young girl. The girl took out the steamed buns with hot air from the oiled paper, and gave one to each of them, and the children were so hungry that they opened their mouths to bite them. The girl smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, eat slowly, and there is more." ”

"Sister Qianxia, why don't you eat it?" asked a little girl, and the others also put down the steamed buns in their hands and looked at the girl.

"My sister ate it when she came back. The girl touched the little girl's head and replied gently.

This kind of lie naturally can't deceive this group of ghosts and spirits who are already eight or nine years old. A skinny little boy asked, "Is my sister reluctant to eat?" After speaking, he divided the steamed bun in his hand into two halves and handed the uneaten part to the woman.

"Sister Asaxia, if you don't eat it, we won't eat it either. ”

"Okay, good, I'll eat, I'll eat. The girl had no choice but to take half of the steamed buns, and secretly cursed herself in her heart that she would not lie.

Although the innkeeper was old, he was also a very kind person, and he arranged a room and prepared a meal without charging much silver taels, and it seems that the merchants in this world are not all as treacherous and cunning as the second senior brother said.

After nightfall, the people in the inn gradually increased, Shi Xin sat on a table in the corner, not very conspicuous, and several tables around him were also full of people eating, although the voice was a little noisy, but it was very lively.

At this time, a young man walked in from outside, dressed in a long robe, fluttering freely, but Ben's handsome face seemed to have an evil aura. Shi Xin was a little curious and looked at it twice, but he didn't expect that after the man finished talking to the shopkeeper, his eyes were on Shi Xin, and he smiled at him before walking into the backyard.

Shi Xin had some doubts in his heart, although he felt strange, but he didn't know what was wrong with that person, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, and after eating, he also walked to the guest room in the backyard.

The evening breeze mixed with the residual heat of the day makes people feel a little stuffy, especially on the first floor. Shi Xin lay on the bed and turned over repeatedly, but still couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up. The insects chirped, the moonlight was just right, and two or three fireflies flew in circles on the flowers and plants, adding a little light to the dark night.

He walked to the window gently, feeling a little confused, he usually stayed with all the senior brothers, and this time he went down the mountain alone for the first time, and he lost all the money on his body, and he didn't know where to go. Thinking about it, I didn't feel a little lonely, at this time, Zhao Xiaoying was noisy around a few times, and I was afraid that it was good. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, opened his baggage, and took out a piece of paper, which was the fourth layer of the Xuantian Heart Formula, and he still hadn't broken through the bottleneck after more than two years of cultivation, and he didn't know if he was stupid or this method was difficult to understand.

"The surface of chaos is clear, and the sky of Daluo is radiant. Exquisite and void, miraculous empty, high and clear, the name of the above clear......" bitter formula recited again, the evening breeze swept by, the flowers and plants folded slightly, and then stood proudly. The night was long, and it was not until the candle flame flickered a few times before it was extinguished that everything melted into darkness.

This awakening was already early in the morning. After Shi Xin washed up, he went to the front hall of the inn and retreated, but he never saw the young man yesterday, Xu had already left the inn.

The scenery in the ancient city is no different from yesterday, although it is morning, the pedestrians and business travelers still constitute a busy scene. Yesterday when he came here it was close to evening, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, but at this time he found that the layout of the ancient city was like a chessboard, and the streets were clearly divided and extended in all directions.

Out of the city gate, Shi Xin stopped, there was no destination for this trip, but this was also the most headache for him, he could go anywhere, but he didn't know where to go. Seeing the farmers on the avenue rushing to Xiqiao City with dry firewood, he thought about it slightly and simply turned away.

The ancient road is vast, and I don't know how many pedestrians have stepped on it to form such an appearance. At this time, overhead, under the blue sky and white clouds, a few little sparrows flew by, with a few chirps, looking very cheerful.

Time passed minute by minute, and the young man, and the shadow behind him, on the ancient road, gradually disappeared.
