Chapter 11: The Black Bird

The owner of the voice was dressed in a gray robe, his face was covered by a white mask, his facial features and expression could not be seen, and he could only be judged by his voice that he was a young male.

Qin Zhen barely opened her eyes and glanced at him: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Subtext, don't bother her if it's not important.

The gray-robed man chuckled: "It's just curious, no one else wants to waste time here, but you've read this story to the end." ”

"Because I'm more boring than anyone else." Qin Zhen said.

"Well, it seems that you don't mean to have a good conversation with me." The gray-robed man said helplessly, "But it doesn't matter, we are the same kind of people, and sooner or later we will meet again on the same road." ”

After saying this inexplicable sentence, the gray-robed man left quietly.

It was as if he had only come to say three words to Qin Hao.

Disturbed by him like this, Qin Zhen had no idea of resting. She sighed, straightened up, and rubbed her temples.

Ye Yousheng hasn't sent any information yet, and he should still be trying to observe.

Qin Zhen then looked slowly in front of the various ancient monuments.

Many of the monks around him didn't deliberately lower their voices, so Qin Hao could hear their conversation very clearly.

"Senior brother, do you think this ancient monument is really useful? Why can't I understand it at all? A melancholy-sounding young female voice rang out from the left.

"Ahem, junior sister, you're still too young, let's let senior brother take action." Another young male voice pretended.

Qin Zhen looked over and saw two monks dressed in the costumes of disciples of the Qianyuan Sect standing in front of a square ancient monument, gathered together to study the contents on it.

The friar looked familiar.

Qin Zhen took a closer look and found that she was somewhat similar to Lin Peng.

Remembering that Lin Peng once said that he had a daughter about the same age as her who was practicing in Qianyuan Sect, Qin Hao guessed that this might be the daughter in Lin Peng's mouth.

She had nothing to do now, so she leisurely paused across an ancient monument to hear what the monk had to say.

"Senior sister, look. The word 'heaven' in the upper left corner means that we monks are walking against the heavens, and we need to stick to ourselves and not be tempted by the outside world. The friar was right.

"But didn't the Six Dao Alliance say 'Heavenly Dao is dead'? Why do we have to go against the sky? The friar wondered.

"Uh...... This ......" the male monk choked for a moment, but quickly reacted, "So this is what the ancient monument said, the predecessor who left this ancient monument is not the same era as us, and he was still in the Heavenly Dao at that time." ”

"That's right." The friar was skeptical, "What does the word 'heaven' mean followed by the word 'one'?" ”

Heaven, one?

Qin Zhen was stunned, is this an ancient monument related to their Tianyi Sect?

The monk cleared his throat again: "This is saying that you should be single-minded, just like I am single-minded with my junior sister." ”

“……”

“……”

This time, not only the female monk was silent, but Qin Zhen was also silent.

After a while, the female monk gasped and said in shock, "Senior brother, are you learning these things if you don't cultivate every day?" If Master had known, he would have been by you. ”

"How come, this is what I learned from Master, I heard that Master used this trick to chase after Master back then."

The nun thought about her master's frosty face, and suddenly felt that her three views were shattered.

"So, senior sister, you still see too little, in the future, you have to go out with your senior brother more to practice, don't stay in the sect all day to cultivate."

The voices of the two gradually became smaller, and they should have gone to the next ancient monument.

Qin Zhen walked out from behind the ancient monument next to him and looked at the contents of the ancient monument they were on just now.

Sure enough, the first line on the ancient monument was written with the words "Tianyi".

Qin Zhen suppressed the restlessness in her heart and continued to look down seriously.

But then there was no text, only a black bird lying in a pool of blood.

Qin Zhen was startled and remembered the story she had just seen.

Are these two monuments related? Does that story have anything to do with their Tianyi Sect?

However, if it is so obvious, can Xiang Rong's people still find it, and can they still leave this ancient monument here, so they don't worry that she can find it?

Qin Hao exhaled deeply.

No, no, there's another possibility. Xiang Rong and the others all knew about this ancient monument, but they couldn't parse the content on these ancient monuments, so they stayed here.

Either she thinks she can't understand it, or she wants to use her to find out the real information.

Qin Zhen thought of the gray-robed man who came over to speak inexplicably.

Could he be Xiang Rong's side?

Qin Zhen sighed with some annoyance, she really couldn't relax for a moment.

The jade handle of the transmission "ding".

Qin Zhen looked at it, it was Ye Yousheng who sent a message and asked her where she was.

After adjusting his facial expressions, Qin Zhen calmed down and walked towards the ancient monument where Ye Yousheng was at the beginning.

"Senior sister, where have you been?" Ye Yousheng looked a little aggrieved, "As soon as I looked up, I didn't see you." ”

"These ancient monuments are of little use to me, so I just walked around." Qin Zhen did not mention the two ancient monuments suspected of being related to the "Tianyi Sect".

Ye Yousheng had never doubted what Qin Hao said, even if he knew that Qin Hao had reservations about him.

"There shouldn't be anything useful here, senior sister, let's go back." Ye Yousheng said.

"Okay." Qin Zhen nodded.

"Speaking of which, you still have a game tomorrow. Do you know what opponents you will meet tomorrow? Qin Zhen thought for a moment and asked.

Ye Yousheng shook his head: "These are all things that you can't know until the competition." ”

He observed Qin Zhen's flat expression, and said tentatively, "Senior sister, do you want to see me fight with Shen Yingyao?" ”

Qin Zhen smiled: "Why do you think so?" ”

"Because Senior Sister is very concerned about Shen Yingyao......" Ye Yousheng whispered.

"Hmm." Qin Zhen did not deny his statement, "He may become a very important point in the future plan, and I need to confirm some more things." ”

Ye Yousheng didn't ask what the plan was, but just asked: "In that game, if I meet him, do I need to do anything?" ”

"No, you just need to play normally." Qin Hao didn't say anything more.

Ye Yousheng had no choice but to shut his mouth in frustration.

What does it mean when senior sister says normal play? He doesn't know what level Shen Yingyao is, does that mean that no matter what the result is, it's okay?

Ye Yousheng secretly made up his mind that if he met Shen Yingyao in the later games, he must work hard to defeat him, and it was best to win this game neatly.

The two left the space side by side.

They didn't notice that behind them, the man in the gray robe had reappeared.

“…… Tianyi Zong? The gray-robed man muttered, his voice quickly blown away by the wind, as unnoticed as his master.

……

On the second day, Ye Yousheng went to the arena early to wait for the schedule.

Qin Zhen leaned against the window in the room, holding a copy of "Teach You to Learn a Hundred Practical Formations" and read. After receiving the schedule from Ye Yousheng, she put down the book and went to watch Ye Yousheng's games.

Today, Ye Yousheng still has to compete in fifteen games, and he still hasn't met Shen Yingyao yet, and the earliest one will start in half an hour.

There was still a lot of time, Qin Zhen opened the book again and continued to read.

Outside the window, there was the sound of the Qianyuanzong patrol passing by, and at the same time, a very familiar female voice sounded.

"Senior Brother Chen, I'll go patrol over there at Yongye Peak."

The person who was called Senior Brother Chen said "um": "Okay, you go over, remember to report back to the team in an hour." ”

"Yes." The female voice responded.

This is the voice of the friar yesterday.

Qin Zhen closed the book with one hand, put it away, and got up and walked out of the room.

As soon as I got out of the room, I saw that the female monk from yesterday was walking alone towards the location of Yongye Peak, while the other members of the patrol team walked in the other direction.

Qin Hao suddenly had a wonderful premonition, feeling that the female monk had not offered to go to Yongye Peak for the purpose of patrolling.

She didn't hesitate, and immediately kept her distance and followed behind the friar.

The monk didn't seem to think that anyone was going to follow her, she was very relaxed all the way, and she was really going to the location of Yongye Peak.

Qin Zhen pasted an invisibility talisman on herself and patiently followed behind her.

After a while, three paths appeared in front of the friars.

Her originally slow movements suddenly became faster, and her figure disappeared in front of Qin Hao in a flash.

Qin Hao closed her eyes, quietly sensing the aura left by the flow of her spiritual power, and then quickly chased towards the leftmost path.

It didn't take long to chase after it, and sure enough, I saw the friar again.

She stopped in front of a pavilion where a more familiar monk was standing, Shen Yingyao.

"Young Sect Master, I went to the ancient monument yesterday to see it, and there is something related to the 'Tianyi Sect' in it, but it's just a painting, I don't know what it means." The friar said.

Shen Yingyao frowned: "What is it?" ”

The friar said, "It's just a little black bird lying in a pool of blood, and there is no other clue." ”

"Is that it? Lin Han, are you sure you haven't missed any information? Shen Yingyao was skeptical.

Lin Han spread his hands: "I have seen every ancient monument, and only this one ancient monument is related to Tianyi Sect." There is also an ancient monument with a story related to birds, and you have heard that story since childhood, and you must know it better than me. ”

“…… No way, there must be something else over there. Shen Yingyao's brows furrowed even deeper.

Lin Han tilted his head and asked, "Young Sect Master, why don't you just ask the Sect Master?" The sect master favors you so much, if you ask, he will definitely tell you. Or ask Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Shen is your own brother, and he will tell you. ”

Shen Yingyao clenched his fists and barely spoke for a long time: "No need...... I'm going to figure it out myself. ”

Lin Han shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Okay, then I wish the young sect master all the best." I still have a patrol mission, so I will miss it first. ”

Qin Zhen, who was hiding on the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't care that Shen Yingyao was going to check the information of Tianyizong, anyway, Tianyizong didn't have anything now.

But Shen Yingyao's behavior, it is certain that Shen Qifeng did not tell him, the "young sect master", about those things about the game between sects, but said it to Shen Hezheng, who was not valued in the eyes of everyone.

Qin Hao's cultivation was higher than the two of them, and he had the effect of a talisman, so when they passed by Qin Hao, they didn't even notice that there was a person hiding here.

Qin Zhen moved her fingers, and a small ball of cyan spiritual power appeared on her fingertips, turning into a small rune.

The moment Shen Yingyao passed by her, this rune floated to Shen Yingyao's body, and in the blink of an eye, it melted into his neck.

Shen Yingyao suddenly felt a little itchy in his neck, and reached out to touch it, but he didn't touch anything.

He looked around suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Lin Han asked.

"It's okay, let's go." Shen Yingyao didn't notice anything abnormal, just thought it was his own delusion.
