Chapter 198: The Old Village
Chapter 198: The Old Village
According to the rules of the Lingxiao Sect, if there is no order from the master or something special, under normal circumstances, the inner disciples who climb the Golden Rainbow Mountain will not come to the place of Qingyu Island casually. Because most of the people on Qingyu Island are Qi Refining Realm disciples who have just entered the sect, and many of them are not very old, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for them by the sect.
Of course, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu knew this rule, but this door rule was actually not completely rigid, and there were certainly a lot of sect disciples like them who passed by and suddenly missed a little in the past, generally speaking, as long as they did not disturb the normal life and cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm disciples on the island, the Ling Xiao Sect, including some inner disciples stationed on Qingyu Island, turned a blind eye to this situation.
The Snow Falling Sword flashed a snow-white sword light in mid-air, and took Shen Shi to fall on a bay, floating in mid-air, looking at the familiar white sand beach under his feet, as well as the stone houses and caves connected together in the seaside avenue, this is really a familiar scene in his memory, which made Shen Shi sigh in his heart.
Thinking that when he first entered the Ling Xiao Sect, he was only a twelve-year-old boy, but now that he thinks back to the beginning, it seems as if everything was still yesterday. Zhong Qingzhu also stopped beside him at this moment, quietly looking at the cave under his feet with a pair of bright eyes, and occasionally he could see one or two figures walking on the seaside avenue, everything seemed so peaceful.
The time that used to exist seems to have stopped here, and then it can never be erased.
Shen Shi suddenly felt something in his heart, and turned his head to look at Zhong Qingzhu, but found that at some point, the woman was also looking at him.
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, turned his head slightly, and then pointed to the front of the island, and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”
Zhong Qingzhu agreed and swept behind him.
The layout of the island was already familiar to the two of them who had lived here for five years, so they soon saw the familiar buildings, including the most prominent of them. The two stopped in mid-air, neither of them had the intention of going down, Shen Shi thought for a while, and asked Zhong Qingzhu:
"By the way, the one who is now in charge of the affairs of Qingyu Island is still Senior Brother Wang Ganwang?"
Zhong Qingzhu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think so, a few years ago, Senior Brother Wang retreated and resigned from this errand, and now it seems that I heard that Senior Brother Kang Chenkang is presiding here." ”
"Oh. Shen Shi nodded, his face thoughtful. Kang Chen is no stranger to him, this person is the second disciple of the Lingxiao Sect Sect Huaiyuan Zhenren, that is, the junior disciple of Du Tiejian, he is also a young man in the Lingxiao Sect, and his reputation is only slightly inferior to the three swords of Lingxiao, and he has always been favored by everyone in terms of ability.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi's heart suddenly moved again, he had experienced a lot of things over the years, including after worshipping under the seat of Elder Pu Siyi of the Shutang, because Old Man Pu himself was also a lazy person, and the Shutang was deserted, he gradually paid less attention to the growth and decline of the various factions in the sect. It's just that at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had a feeling that the competition situation for the next generation of successors in the sect seemed to have changed a little bit compared to previous years.
At that time, Ling Xiao Sanjian was known as the strongest three of the younger generation, and this opinion did not seem to have changed until now, but among the three people, Du Tiejian was still in the limelight, and even his momentum seemed to be higher than in previous years, and there were already quite a few people in the sect who were optimistic that this bald senior brother would take over the position of the future leader. In comparison, the momentum of the other two of the three swords of Ling Xiao is much weaker, Gan Wenqing has declined greatly after being punished to go to the Baishan Realm for a few years, and has almost been eliminated from the ranks of the successor battle, but she herself doesn't seem to care much about this, maybe in that woman's opinion, guarding the last single seedling of the Gan family, Gan Ze, is her greatest wish.
And the last person, Wang Gan, was actually extremely powerful, and for a while he was even above Du Tiejian, even his teacher's son Sun Hong was pressed under him, and was favored by many people as one of the strongest successors of the next generation. It's just that for some reason, Wang Gen suddenly restrained himself carefully a few years ago, either in retreat or as a low-key person, which is very different from the situation of working diligently and striving for the top in the past. It is precisely because of this that Wang Gan is so low-key, and his momentum has gradually declined in the past few years, making Du Tiejian alone among the three swords of Ling Xiao, and it seems that it is a sure thing to take over the position of the head of the sect.
However, things are changing anytime and anywhere, with the Sizheng Conference three months ago, and the very critical trip to the Secret Realm of Wentian, although Du Tiejian is still in the limelight, but in addition to the three swords of Lingxiao, among the younger generation of the Lingxiao Sect, another group of young talents has risen, especially Gan Ze and Zhong Qingzhu, which are particularly optimistic, thinking that they are rare geniuses in a hundred years, and it seems that there is a faint hope to compete for the position of successor.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi couldn't help but glance at Zhong Qingzhu again, but this time Zhong Qingzhu didn't seem to react, but looked down calmly. After a while, Shen Shi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go." ”
From beginning to end, although they came to Qingyu Island, they never landed, so they played a side ball in the rules of the sect, and the always calm Qingyu Island also maintained tranquility, and no one seemed to notice their arrival.
After flying like this for a while, when he was about to fly out of the range of Qingyu Island, Shen Shi suddenly saw that in the corner of the island, a village with a strange and unusual style was located on the shore of the sea, and in an instant, a memory came to his heart.
Red Mussel Village.
This rare demon clan village that can coexist with the human race lives in this small island under the protection of the Ling Xiao Sect without being known to the world. When Shen Shi first came to the island, he worked in this village.
And, of course, there's the girl named Starfish.
Shen Shi suddenly felt a burst of apology in his heart, he had promised Haixing some promises back then, including that time when Haixing helped him a lot during the apprenticeship, he also said that he often came back to see her, but until now he has not come back once. I don't know how the starfish is doing now?
As soon as his mind moved, Shen Shi's body stopped. In mid-air, Zhong Qingzhu immediately noticed his strange appearance, and flew back to him in a circle, and said in amazement: "Stone, what's wrong?"
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, pointed to the Red Beng Village below, and said, "Qingzhu, can you wait for me for a while, I have a friend in that village, go over and see her." ”
Zhong Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "Okay, anyway, let's not be in a hurry, let's go and have a look." ”
Shen Shi laughed and said, "Thank you." ”
With that, a swoop, the Snow Dumping Sword swung with a white sword, and led him back down to the small village on the white sand in the midst of the waves.
In the sea breeze, there was silence, but there was not even a sound.
