Chapter 63: Atonement
When Shen Yingyao got up, he was already the only one in the room.
He tried to roll over and sit up, only to find that he was surrounded by all kinds of spiritual materials, which filled his bed and made him unable to move.
Memories of last night flooded into my mind like a tidal wave.
After Zhou Zhirong led him and Ye Yousheng for a walk, he took them to his house with a "full load". Said that it was to give them space to reconcile, so they were arranged to live in a room.
At dinner in the evening, Zhou Zhirong and his family also took out wine, obviously he smelled just ordinary wine, but I don't know why he quickly became confused after drinking it.
The last memory before he fell into a coma was that Ye Yousheng was sitting opposite him, still being persuaded to drink. He didn't refuse, just took small sips, looking a little reserved, but there was no sign of drunkenness at all.
Shen Yingyao lay on his back on the bed, and only then did he move his fingers to transfer all the spiritual materials that surrounded him to the ground and pile them up, and then he got up.
Surprisingly, although he was drunk and unconscious last night, his head didn't hurt at all, and he didn't know how these people made this wine.
Just thinking about it, Ye Yousheng happened to come back from outside, and when he saw that Shen Yingyao was awake, he didn't come in, and said at the door: "You woke up, Senior Zhou said that he would take us to the Sun Covering Sect later." ”
"......" Shen Yingyao swallowed back the five words "Aren't you tired" with difficulty, and nodded at Ye Yousheng.
Ye Yousheng saw that the news had arrived, so he left again.
He didn't have time to buy a new one last night, so he had to get up early this day and go over and buy a new one as soon as the door opened.
He remembered that his senior sister had sent the mark of the jade handle, but because of the exchange of marks, he could only unilaterally send at most one message.
"Senior sister, I'm Ye Yousheng. I forgot my communication jade handle in the sect and didn't bring it out. I'm in the secret realm now and I'll be back soon. ”
It's a pity that when he finally came up with a wording and wanted to send it out, he found that there was a setting in the secret realm, and it was not allowed to use the communication jade handle to talk to the outside world.
And his precious opportunity was wasted.
It must be false to say that he is not disappointed, but now that it is like this, then he must work harder to compete and go to Zhongzhou to participate in the finals as the first place in Xingzhou, so as to live up to his senior sister's expectations of him.
In the morning, he took a general look at the city of the occult sun, and the highest place in the city was most likely the Occult Sect. As a symbol of the Occultation Castle, setting it at the highest point will undoubtedly have a deterrent effect on the forces that want to invade the Occultation Castle.
Just waiting for the morning, Senior Zhou was going to take them to the Sun Occultation Sect, so that he could verify his conjecture at that time.
While it was still early, he practiced his sword in the courtyard for a while. When he finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he heard applause coming from behind him.
It's Zhou Zhirong.
"The little brother is really powerful, this set of swordsmanship looks like water, but in fact, the monstrous waves are hidden behind it, undetected. When the little brother cultivates and improves, the power of this set of swordsmanship will definitely be unimaginable. ”
"The senior said it was funny." Ye Yousheng waved his hand embarrassedly.
He is still not very comfortable with others complimenting him so bluntly.
Beside Zhou Zhirong, a thin boy stood there, the expression on his face was a little dull, but his pupils were extremely dark, and he looked inexplicably weird.
Seeing Ye Yousheng looking over, Zhou Zhirong sighed: "This is my son, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he doesn't like to communicate with others, little brother, don't be surprised." ”
Ye Yousheng hurriedly arched his hand towards Zhou Zhirong: "It's the juniors who are wrong, and it's sad to touch the seniors of Zhou." ”
When he was having dinner last night, he only saw Senior Zhou and his wife, but did not see the child. It seems that it was because he didn't like places with many strangers, so he hid himself.
Speaking of which, Senior Zhou's wife is also a little strange.
She smiled very kindly all the time and didn't talk much, just kept smiling and looking at Zhou Zhirong, pouring them wine from time to time. But when Ye Yousheng temporarily left the table halfway, he passed by the kitchen of their house, and heard a soft murmur like a demon coming from inside: "Everyone wants to atone for their sins...... All for sin......"
The voice was clearly the voice of Zhou's predecessor's wife.
Ye Yousheng kept an eye on it, but now that he saw their child, that strange feeling swept over again.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Zhirong looked used to it, and waved his hand indifferently, "Is your brother up?" ”
As he was talking, Shen Yingyao had already walked over, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he nodded to them one by one, which was regarded as a greeting.
When he saw the child, he was not stunned, and greeted him normally.
The little boy blinked at him, then called "Mommy" and ran away.
The streets of the city are as bustling as yesterday.
Shen Yingyao's face was dark, and he didn't even react at all to the people who passed by to stuff the spiritual material in his arms. Ye Yousheng glanced at him with pity: "Don't think about it, maybe you just look terrible and scare the child?" ”
"Where did I grow horrible?" As soon as Shen Yingyao recalled the scene at that time, he was so angry that he was about to tremble.
Growing up, he had never had anyone run away in fear when they saw his face. Even if many people laughed at him behind his back, except for Shen Hezheng, no one dared to openly provoke him in front of him.
But now such a thin-looking child was scared away by him, and he couldn't go to him to settle accounts, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Ye Yousheng took a closer look at Shen Yingyao's face a few more times, and didn't find anything wrong, so why did that kid suddenly run away?
thought of what Zhou's senior wife said, "Everyone has to atone for their sins", and the "Mom" shouted when the child ran away. Could it be that it was not the child's reaction when he was scared, but just thought that Shen Yingyao wanted to atone for his sins, so he rushed to tell his mother.
"You've been ...... lately Did you do anything wrong? Ye Yousheng asked Shen Yingyao cautiously.
"What's wrong? Hmph, I never do anything bad! When Shen Yingyao scared away the children, he was questioned about his character again, and he was so angry that his face was twisted together.
"If so, you'd better be careful......"
"Little brothers! We've arrived at the Occultation Sect! Zhou Zhirong's voice came from the front.
The two of them looked at each other, and what stood in front of them was a magnificent palace, almost towering into the sky, no matter from which point of view, it didn't look like what an immortal cultivator sect should look like.
Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao glanced at each other, tacitly withdrew their doubts in their hearts, and followed Zhou Zhirong into the palace together.
The palace is unusually lively, people come and go, not so much the sect, but also the transfer of some of the shops outside to the inside of the palace, and even a variety of entertainment items than the outside is only a lot more.
"These are all disciples of our Occult Sun Sect." Zhou Zhirong said proudly, "Thanks to the kindness of the sect, we can have such a life, instead of being like before, we can only guard a little grain in the field and hand it over to the city lord......"
"And where did you get your food from?" Ye Yousheng asked.
"It's all provided by the sect master." Zhou Zhirong bowed deeply in a certain direction, "The Sect Master knows that our mortal life is difficult, so he has provided us with all the necessities of life, we just need to spend every day happily with our families." ”
No wonder he couldn't see any spiritual power from Zhou Zhirong, Ye Yousheng frowned. However, the mortals here were different from the mortals he had seen in Xingzhou, but if he had to carefully explain the difference, he couldn't say it accurately.
"Senior Zhou, don't you usually cultivate?" Ye Yousheng saw that Zhou Zhirong was not averse to this kind of question, so he continued to ask.
If all the disciples except the sect master don't cultivate, then how can the sect master alone protect the sect? Even if there is only the Sun Occultation Sect in the Occult City now, it is difficult to guarantee that the sects in other places will not want to come to get a piece of the pie.
Zhou Zhirong laughed when he heard this: "Of course I don't cultivate." The sect master said that cultivation is a very hard thing, and he can't bear to let us go through these pains, and only hopes that we can live with a smile forever, so he is the only one who bears the pain of cultivation. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed: "The sect master is just a person who is too good to let the former city lord ...... Alas, if you don't say it, it's all sad. Little brother, look at this palace, it was finally built after we spent a huge amount of wealth and spent more than ten years in order to thank the sect master. ”
"We have also built a tall tower for the Sect Master, so that when the festival is held, the Sect Master can climb to the highest point of the Occult City, so that all of us can worship."
The highest place.
This keyword made Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao clever at the same time.
But Zhou Zhirong didn't say much about this, but continued to take them around the palace: "Little brother, I'll take you around first, and then you can see if you want to play, just go play by yourself." Rest assured, our friendly people will definitely make you forget the time. ”
"Then thank you Senior Zhou." Ye Yousheng was unwilling to refute Zhou Zhirong in this toughness, which made him unhappy.
Anyway, the legs are on his own body, and it is his own will to go wherever he goes when the time comes.
"When are you going to find that tower?" Shen Yingyao whispered.
Ye Yousheng thought about it, it was only the second day of entering the secret realm, and it should be relatively safe to determine the location of the tower first, and it would not be easy to bump into the other participating monks. And there is also Shen Yingyao, Shen Yingyao is the second to qualify, and his strength must be very good, in case of a conflict, Shen Yingyao can also share some pressure.
"Let's find out the defensive strength at the tower first." Ye Yousheng said.
Although Zhou Zhirong said that there were no disciples cultivating, what if there was something more core, and the sect master didn't tell them? Ye Yousheng didn't believe that the sect master of the Hidden Sun Sect had no defenses, so he could let outsiders in and out so casually. If someone takes the spiritual material and runs away, then he will lose a lot.
"Okay." Shen Yingyao felt that he had a point.
They are not familiar with the place here, so it is better to be cautious.
