Chapter 187: Strangers

In the valley in the early morning, it was quiet everywhere, and the dense branches and foliage of the towering trees blocked a lot of the daylight, making the valley a little darker, but here in the mountain road, the pillars of light cast through the gaps in the branches and leaves were still bright enough to make people see the quiet valley woods, and of course, the cave and the man.

It was a man, slender and slender, wearing a gray cloth shirt, he didn't look handsome and chic, but he wasn't ugly, and his first impression seemed to be a very ordinary and ordinary person.

Shen Shi was indeed taken aback when he felt this man come out, because for such a long time after he lived here, he had not had the opportunity to see this neighbor of his own, but he didn't expect to meet suddenly in such a situation where he didn't care at all.

After a while, a smile appeared on Shen Shi's face, nodding and smiling at the man, no matter what, this person's identity is also the same brother, and he is also his only neighbor in this valley, although he still doesn't know the character of this "neighbor" so far, but at least it is always wrong to put on a friendly posture, it can't be just two people in a valley, just become enemies.

"This senior brother, it's early. Shen Shi said with a smile, "The younger brother's name is Shen Shi, and he lives in the cave over there right now. These days have come and gone, and I have always seen Senior Brother Your Cave Mansion, but I have never had the opportunity to see Senior Brother, and I didn't expect to see each other like this today. ”

The expression on the man's face has been very indifferent since he walked out, even after Shen Shi took the initiative to say hello over there, he didn't seem to have too much change in expression, he stood in place and paused for a while, looking at Shen Shi, but he didn't say anything.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and his heart was a little inexplicable when he was seen by this "senior brother", and he couldn't help but think back to what he had just said, thinking that he shouldn't have said anything wrong, when did he offend this person?

Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly saw the man nodding, and then said:

"Oh...... Hello. ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Shi again, but he turned around, and it looked like he was going in the direction of the depths of the valley. Shen Shi frowned, looking at the man from behind, feeling that this "senior brother" seemed to be a little weird, but what was strange was there, but he couldn't say it for a while.

It's just that since the man turned around and walked away, he obviously didn't have any intention of chatting with Shen Shi for the time being, and it happened that Shen Shi also had something to do at the moment, and he didn't care, so he also turned around and was about to continue walking. Who knew that he had only taken two steps here, and suddenly heard the man's voice coming from behind him, which sounded like a little unexpected emotion of suddenly waking up and remembering something, and shouted behind him, saying:

"Ah......h

Shen Shi paused, turned around to look, and saw that the man had already looked at him, and then waited there for a while at a distance, but then spoke again:

"My name is Baili Jue. ”

With that, he seemed relieved as if he had finally finished something that seemed to be a little difficult, and then he turned around and walked briskly forward.

As for Shen Shi, he was a little stunned, looking at the back, an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't come to any conclusion, that is, he felt that this senior brother named Baili Jue seemed to be talking when he gave people a feeling of being a beat or two slower, and when others said a word, he had to wait for a while to react.

Looks like a weirdo......

Shen Shi muttered silently in his heart, and glanced at the back of Baili Jue, who had gradually walked away, and suddenly his gaze was slightly condensed, but it fell on the arms of that figure. From the outside, there was nothing unusual about Baili, his hands had been hanging down at his sides normally, and his sleeve robe looked a little slender, so his arms seemed to be hidden in the sleeves all the time.

This was actually not anything unusual, and ordinary people would not even notice it many times, but Shen Shi had just returned from the mysterious demon clan's underground palace, and in the depths of that underground palace, he had seen a person named Huang Ming. He clearly remembered that that person also covered all the body parts under his neck with a yellow robe, including a pair of arms, and when he stretched out his palm, Shen Shi would never forget the miserable white white bones that appeared in front of him.

Shen Shi's body shook suddenly, and when he woke up from that memory, the figure of Baili Jue in the distance had disappeared behind the bushes, Shen Shi shook his head silently, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself that he was really a little cranky, could it be that someone else casually covered his arm once, and he would be suspicious?

In short, since we have met once, if we have the opportunity to see each other again in the future, we will get along with each other. Thinking like this in his heart, he turned around and strode towards the outside of the valley, and not long after, a coaxing cry suddenly sounded in the depths of the woods somewhere behind him, and then a black shadow rushed out of the forest, it was the little black pig, who looked very excited and happy, laughed and jumped to the middle of the mountain road, shook his body hard, as if he had been imprisoned for many days and finally relaxed, opened his mouth and yawned, and then ran after Shen Shi's figure.

The valley was secluded, and soon it was quiet again.

※※※

In the Five Elements Hall of the Shutang, it is still as deserted as usual, and the situation of the door has not changed at all. Shen Shi walked in all the way, and didn't see his senior sister Xu Yanzhi, who was usually here, so he walked all the way to the back hall and found Master Pu Old Man in the study.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Shen Shi smelled a smell of wine, which was fragrant and mellow, and seemed to be like Huadiao wine. After taking a look, I saw that the old man Pu was lying comfortably on the recliner, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and when he saw Shen Shi coming in, he immediately beckoned to him with a smile on his face, and said, "Shi, you are here, come and sit." ”

Shen Shi shook his head with a smile, pulled over a chair and sat next to Old Man Pu, and at the same time thought to himself that among the elder teachers and apprentices encountered in the Ling Xiao Sect, maybe only Old Man Pu and himself would be so casual.

He glanced at the jar of fine wine and said with a smile: "You seem to be in a good mood when you drank so early, Master." ”

Old man Pu smiled, but he motioned for Shen Shi to come over, and then lowered his voice, but at the same time, he couldn't suppress the smugness in his voice, and said in a low voice:

"Master, I'm so happy. ”

"Oh, what are you happy about? Master, speak up and listen, and let your disciples be happy and happy for you. ”

"Hehe," the old man raised his eyebrows, smiled without saying a word, and then smiled after a while: "Guess, if you guess why I'm happy, the old man will tell you okay." ”

Shen Shi's eyes rolled, the thoughts in his heart turned for a moment, and he suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "I know, it must be that you got some kind of satisfactory treasure at the trade fair of the Tianhong City Immortal Association?"

Old Man Pu's smile froze, and after a while, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said:

"Stinky boy, as good as a ghost......"

Shen Shi laughed.
