The Yunxiao Hall was very quiet for a while, Patriarch Huoye closed his eyes and was silent, Huaiyuan Zhenren sighed slightly, as if he was sighing, and Shen Shi didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Huaiyuan Zhenren came back to his senses and asked Shen Shi in detail, including how he got out of trouble and how to go to the Yuan Realm, Shen Shi answered them one by one. When they heard that there was actually a similar tiny teleportation circle in the demon world, the faces of Huaiyuan Zhenren and Huoye Patriarch both became solemn at the same time, but then after Shen Shi affirmed that the magic circle was indeed shattered after it was launched, the faces of the two of them relaxed a little.

However, the question in the middle was obvious, Huaiyuan Zhenren looked at the Fire Ye Patriarch and frowned, "Could it be that this strange tiny magic circle can only be used once, and why is it directly damaged once it is operational?"

Patriarch Huo Ye also had a thoughtful look on his face, obviously this golden fetal stone inherited from ancient times and the mysterious teleportation array, even if he was now one of the few people standing at the peak of the human race's cultivation realm, he didn't fully understand it.

After pondering for a while, Huaiyuan Zhenren turned his head to look at Shen Shi and said, "But since the Demon Realm Circle has been damaged, at least for the time being, you should be worry-free, but your experience in the Demon Realm in the past three years is too weird, once it is publicized, there will be a lot of trouble, which is quite involved, and it needs to be considered in the long run." In another year, there will be the 10-year meeting of the Four Righteous Sects, and at that time, I will negotiate this matter privately with the other three leaders, but until then, this matter must not be leaked, do you understand?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Disciple understands." However, he immediately paused, hesitated, and said, "But if someone asks the disciple about the situation in the past three years, how should the disciple answer?"

Huaiyuan Zhenren thought for a while and said, "I will arrange for Tie Jian to take you to settle down in the sect when I go back, and he will tell you the details." ”

Shen Shi nodded in agreement, and Huaiyuan Zhenren said again: "You go down first, and when you go out, ask Tie Jian to come in again." ”

Shen Shi respectfully kowtowed to these two highly respected and respected great real people, and then quietly turned around and walked out. When the heavy wooden door of the hall was closed again, Patriarch Huoye suddenly said lightly:

"Do you think everything this son says is true?"

Huaiyuan Zhenren pondered for a moment, the strange stars in his eyes flickered slightly, and then said: "There may be some unfinished things in his words, but what he said is not false. ”

I don't know why, although the patriarch of Huoye is a step higher than Huaiyuan Zhenren, but he is very trusting of the assertion of this master and nephew, after listening to Huaiyuan Zhenren's words, he nodded and did not continue to dwell on this topic, but sighed lightly rarely, Lingxiao Sect has countless disciples of the sect, and only Huaiyuan Zhenren can see that this old ancestor who is admired by countless people like a god will have such a sigh and feeling.

"I didn't expect that the old man would have the opportunity to hear the news from the demon world in his lifetime. ”

Huaiyuan Zhenren's face looked a little dignified, and said: "The demon clan is strong, and it is the number one enemy of our human race, but it has been separated by the Yin Sea for ten thousand years, and the time is too long, so it is gradually forgotten today." This matter is not trivial, maybe I shouldn't wait for a year, how about I send an invitation to the other three righteous sects now?"

Patriarch Huoye sneered, looking quite a little sarcastic, but it was obviously not aimed at this nephew who had a good relationship with him, and said lightly: "If you want to do this, it's hard to say what the reaction of the Zhenlong Hall and the Heavenly Sword Palace will be, what will happen to the Yuan Shimen, can't you think of it?"

Huaiyuan Zhenren was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and shook his head silently.

When he pushed open the door of the Cloud Hall and walked out, the bright sky light fell and shone on his body, making Shen Shi's eyes squint slightly, and then he saw Du Tiejian sitting lazily on the stone steps, with his black giant sword on the ground next to him.

Du Tiejian seemed to sense the movement behind him, turned around and took a look, and saw Shen Shi coming over, sat down beside him, smiled, and said, "What?"

Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "It's okay." After a pause, he added, "The real person in charge of the sect told you to go in." ”

Du Tiejian said "oh", stood up, grabbed the iron sword, and walked towards the Cloud Palace, after walking two steps, he seemed to remember something, and then turned to the quiet but wide pine forest under the stone steps, and said: "Your little pig was still here just now, but now he has run to the forest to play, I can't stop screaming." ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "That little thing is like this, don't pay attention to it." ”

Du Tiejian nodded with a smile, glanced at Shen Shi, and said, "You wait for me here." ”

Shen Shi nodded in agreement, and then watched Du Tiejian walk into the hall again, and as the heavy door slowly closed behind him, near the stone steps outside the Yunxiao Palace, it quickly fell into silence again.

This hall in the forest, this deep wood, seems to have always been silent, floating out, not touching the fireworks of the world. Shen Shi glanced into the forest, but he didn't see the little black pig in the shadows of the trees, and he didn't know where he would run this time.

At the same time, in the depths of that forest, I don't know how many pines and cypresses stand upright, verdant and vigorous, some old pines even have to be hugged by several people, and I don't know how many years have grown on this Jinhong Mountain. However, unlike ordinary forests, although this pine and cypress is dense and prosperous, except for the pine and cypress trees, there are almost no barbed and nasty shrubs and thorns in the forest, and at most there are some moss grasses growing in the glade or between the roots of the bare ground, making this forest look very empty and bright.

The trees are often separated by a distance, far and near, but they are spacious enough to pass, but the forest is also silent, except for the occasional unknown birdsong from the depths of the woods, which adds to the vitality of the place.

A black figure that looked very small compared to the ancient pines and cypresses that had grown for thousands of years or hundreds of years around it, appeared in this forest a little abruptly, walking among these towering trees, smelling this pine tree, sniffing the green cypress, and looking a little curious and excited about the strange but bright environment around it.

The little black pig's mouth made a humming sound from time to time, and at the same time, it was still chewing in its mouth, and it could vaguely see a spirit grass that had been bitten by it, and I didn't know where it was found. Jinhong Mountain is a blessed land of the world, Lingshan Wonderland, the abundance of spiritual energy in the world is also one of the few, although there is a medicine garden in the Lingxiao Sect that specializes in cultivating all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs, but in such a forest where few people come, it must not be strange that there are some spiritual grasses, but on weekdays, no one will come to this place to find spiritual grass.

The little black pig walked and walked, only to see the pine and cypress in this forest, fresh and solemn, it seems to make people feel very comfortable, although I don't know what the reason for this feeling, but the little black pig looks like it likes it here, walking and walking, it seems that there is a little tiredness welling up, and a big yawn.

Just as it was looking left and right, trying to find a good place to sleep for a while, suddenly its little pig's head suddenly lifted, but it looked deeper into the pine forest in front of it, where there were more and denser ancient trees, and the light seemed to be slightly dimmer than outside, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

But the little black pig seemed to feel something, and suddenly there was some hesitation, and the sleepiness that had just been born seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye.

In the pine forest, there was silence, as if for a moment, suddenly everything fell silent, and even the original crisp birdsong disappeared.

The little black pig stared at the depths of the forest, standing motionless, while the two ears on his head slowly stood up, as if he was gradually a little afraid, and even began to look vigilant.

After a few moments, the little black pig quietly took a step back.

There was still silence in the woods.

The little black pig turned around suddenly, turned around and ran, its four hooves flew over, and it was as fast as an arrow from the string, and after a few tremblings, it ran out of the distance, all the way to the direction of the forest.

In the blink of an eye, the little figure ran far away and disappeared in this pine forest, and in the depths of the forest, in the quiet and gloomy shadows of the trees, there was still no movement, but occasionally a gust of wind blew through this dense forest, the shadows of the trees shook, and the shadows flickered a few times.

Faintly, a distant, low, almost inaudible breath sounded and fell in the depths of the secluded forest, and a moment later, the pine and cypress forest fell into a silent silence that seemed to be eternal and unchanging.

※※※

A black shadow "brushed" out of the pine forest, startling Shen Shi, and then found that it was the little black pig running all the way, jumping up the stone steps a few times, and then lying down beside Shen Shi, leaning tightly on Shen Shi's legs, burying his head, and looking a little tired.

Shen Shi glanced at it, felt that the little black pig seemed to look a little strange, touched its head, and said, "What's wrong?"

The little black pig snorted in a low voice, just rubbed his head against Shen Shi's palm, and didn't say anything more, Shen Shi frowned, and just wanted to say something more, when he suddenly heard a low sound from the gate of the Cloud Hall behind him, Shen Shi quickly stood up and looked, only to see that Du Tiejian had already walked over from there.

Shen Shi greeted him, and when Du Tiejian saw him, he also had a smile on his face, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, Senior Brother Shen." ”

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Du, do you have any instructions for the real person in charge?"

Du Tiejian looked at him with a smile, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, from today onwards, you will be a disciple of my Lingxiao Sect again." ”

Shen Shi let out a long breath, after this sentence, he really let go of the worries in his heart, Du Tiejian led him all the way to the bluestone road outside the hall, and began to explain to him the arrangements for him in the future:

"In the future, you will be practicing directly on Jinhong Mountain, brother, for thousands of years, you have not reached the Ning Yuan Realm and have gone up to Jinhong Mountain to become a personal disciple, you can be regarded as the first person. But no matter what, your top priority now is to break through the realm as soon as possible and cultivate to the Ning Yuan Realm, you know?"

Shen Shi nodded, his experience in the past few days had already clearly told him that a monk who was not in the Ning Yuan Realm was almost equivalent to an ant, and had no status at all.

Du Tiejian said as he walked: "In addition, what has been your experience in the past three years, Master asked me not to ask more, but just asked me to tell you that this matter must be kept secret, if anyone asks, you need to answer like this, just say that you ...... on that demon island three years ago."

The voice of the little whisper was lowered, it was Du Tiejian who was whispering to him, Shen Shi listened carefully, and nodded slowly, and behind the two, the little black pig followed step by step, and after walking out of the road, it suddenly glanced back at the pine forest, its body was slightly sluggish, and a strange and complicated look flashed in its eyes, as if it was a little afraid and a little curious, but in the end it still accelerated its pace, kept up with Shen Shi's pace, and walked all the way out of the hall deep in the dense forest.
