Chapter Twenty-Five: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
There is no doubt that Shen Shi's experience in the demon world in the past three years is an extremely incredible and strange period of time, and even sometimes Shen Shi himself thinks back on it, he will feel that there is a trance illusion of a big dream. Without thinking too much, Shen Shi also knew that the fact that he had been to the Demon Realm must be a piece of news that could shake the Hongmeng Realm, because among the so many Terran classics and books he had read in the past, there had never been any trace of this.
Since the Heavenly Demon Silver Fox self-destroyed the Netherworld Tower to seal the Flying Rainbow Realm, that mysterious demon realm has been separated from the Hongmeng Realm for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been any news to pass on.
Thinking that this secret was on him, when Shen Shi wanted to say it, although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt a heavy pressure for no reason.
There was silence in the Yunxiao Palace, and after asking that sentence, Huaiyuan Zhenren and Huoye Patriarch didn't say anything more, they sat there calmly and peacefully, their eyes falling on Shen Shi's face, and they saw his expression in their eyes. Neither of them looked angry or angry, although Shen Shi's sluggishness at this point might be enough to be disrespectful in the eyes of others, but their vision realm seemed to have already surpassed these floating words, without the slightest abnormality.
Shen Shi didn't hesitate for too long, almost in a moment, he had already reined in his mind and regained his calm, and the pictures of the past that had rippled in his mind suddenly seemed to have lost their vitality and turned into gray-white pieces of paper, which had nothing to do with him anymore.
He calmed down, calmly and indifferently to break with his past three years.
The low but clear voice began to echo in the Cloud Palace, Shen Shi knelt on the ground, and began to tell with a calm face, bit by bit, without the slightest intention of concealing, but inadvertently, perhaps because he had secretly practiced the Yin and Yang Mantra, Shen Shi subconsciously hid the part of the Heavenly Immortal Mantra, and even omitted to mention the fact that the little black pig devoured the two strange beads.
In addition, no matter how big or small, what he saw and heard in the demon world, he told the truth one by one.
When the words of the demon realm were first spit out from the mouth of the young man in front of him, Huaiyuan Zhenren and Huoye Patriarch both changed color at the same time, even with their realm of cultivation, they were shocked when they suddenly heard that Shen Shi had actually been to the demon realm that had been isolated for ten thousand years.
But they are not mortals after all, they are all top figures in terms of vision, Taoism, experience and even heart, so they quickly calmed down, and after glancing at each other, they all regained their calm, and then patiently listened to Shen Shi continue, talking about the experience of the whole three years, and talking about every bit of the demon world.
Shen Shi didn't know how long he had been talking, but he felt as if suddenly a lot of pictures and things were disturbing and flooding his heart, so that he knew that he had seen so many things in the past three years, and then told them one by one at this moment.
It was a very subtle feeling, every time I said something, every time I said a person, there was a strange feeling that those things were separated from me, and the heaviness that had been pressed on my heart gradually dissipated. But for no reason, Shen Shi suddenly thought of how he felt when he was still in Xilu City in Yinzhou many years ago, when he was still a teenager and ran to find the butcher and tried to slaughter livestock with a bayonet and saw blood.
He was a little puzzled in his heart as to why he had such a strange feeling, but this little bit of trouble was not worth mentioning at all in the face of the pressure given to him by the two great real people in front of him, and he quickly forgot about it.
※※※
After a long time, Shen Shi's voice stopped in the Cloud Hall for some time, and he finished what he had to say, and then felt that his mouth was a little dry.
On the futon in front of them, neither Huaiyuan Zhenren nor Patriarch Huoye spoke, both of them sat there quietly, and Patriarch Huoye closed his eyes, as if they were both contemplating.
The two of them didn't speak, Shen Shi didn't dare to get up and move, but he knelt for a long time, even if his body was stronger than ordinary people, he still faintly felt that his knees and waist were starting to ache.
But at this moment, suddenly in front of his eyes, a simple round futon slid silently from the ground, without the slightest smoke and dust, and stopped exactly a foot in front of him, and then he heard the deep but gentle voice of Huaiyuan Zhenren, and said calmly:
"Sit down and talk. ”
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, whispered thanks to the two, and then sat up calmly and knelt on the futon.
A glance swept over, although Shen Shi lowered his eyebrows and did not raise his head, but the feeling of sweeping his body was so clear, before that, he never thought that someone's gaze would be so substantial, although it was not certain which of the two big real people in front of him, but Shen Shi subconsciously felt that it was Huaiyuan Zhenren, at the first glance, Huaiyuan Zhenren's strange eyes as if containing thousands of stars really gave him an extremely deep impression.
Perhaps, it will be a peerless method that I have never heard of.
Then, he heard Huaiyuan Zhenren speak again:
"Three years ago, there was a sudden change in the demon island in the six islands of herringfish, the golden mang soared into the sky, and the momentum was huge, that is, on that day, you disappeared on the demon island, and the sect had sent people to search for it in the surrounding waters, including the nearby islands, several times, but there was no news of you. I didn't expect it to be like this. ”
Huaiyuan Zhenren said lightly, the expression on his face did not change much, but there seemed to be a little sigh in his eyes, and said, " Before that, the whole sect never knew that there was still that tiny magic circle on the demon island, and it was to focus on recourse afterwards, but the golden fetal stone magic circle had been completely destroyed, and because no one had ever found such a different small magic circle in the past, so I heard that someone had sent back your news a few days ago, and after I discussed with Uncle Huoye, I ordered the iron sword to secretly go and bring you back, and the reason for this is this. ”
Shen Shi knelt on the futon, and after a while, seeing that Huaiyuan Zhenren didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to speak, after hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice: "What do you mean, do you not want this matter to be leaked?"
There seemed to be a glimmer of starlight in those eyes that seemed to have stars fluctuating for a moment, and after a while, he regained his calmness, Huaiyuan Zhenren glanced at him, and said in a calm voice: "Oh, why do you think like that?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The disciple is stupid, I think ...... The golden fetal stone is an ancient strange thing, the only way used is the ancient teleportation circle, 10,000 years have never heard of an additional magic circle born, if there is more than this thing in the mountain gate of this sect, if there is more than one realm, such as the backyard of the house. ”
One may be a brand-new otherworld, which may contain countless heavenly and earthly treasure cultivation spiritual materials, and its value is so great that it is unimaginable.
Huaiyuan Zhenren bowed slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, when I ordered the iron sword to secretly find you back, this is what I did, I did suspect that you might have teleported to a different world that had never been discovered, but I didn't expect that you went to the demon world......"
At this moment, Patriarch Huoye, who had been sitting without opening his mouth from the beginning, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Regarding the Demon Realm, is everything you said true?"
Unlike Huaiyuan Zhenren's peaceful and rich voice, Huo Ye's patriarch's voice seemed to echo between the words, like wind and thunder, shaking his heart, only hearing a burst of disgust in Shen Shi's heart, and he almost couldn't sit still. Fortunately, at this time, a mellow power surged from the side, like a spring breeze and drizzle, which immediately calmed down his throbbing soul, and it was Huaiyuan Zhenren who waved his hand.
Shen Shi was shocked in his heart by the terrifying Dao magic powers of these two great cultivators, and while not daring to slack off in the slightest, he respectfully leaned over and replied: "Every sentence is true, and the disciple does not dare to say the slightest lie." ”
Huo Ye Patriarch turned his head to look at Huaiyuan Zhenren, only to see Huaiyuan Zhenren nodding slowly, as if he was affirming something, Huo Ye Patriarch did not continue to doubt it, but there was a trace of solemnity on his old face, but he said in a deep voice:
"The monkey demon said that the demon clan is weak, it is not credible. ”
Shen Shi was stunned, and Huaiyuan Zhenren also seemed to have a trace of doubt, and said, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean?"
Patriarch Huoye sat upright on the futon and said, "According to him, this son has been in the Black Hell Mountain Range for three years, and has never been to other places in the Demon Realm, and the few demon clans who talk to him on weekdays have also been in the vast Black Hell Mountain all their lives, but is this the case?"
In the last sentence, he looked at Shen Shi and asked, Shen Shi hesitated, and then nodded, this is indeed the case.
And Huaiyuan Zhenren, who was sitting on the side, seemed to have thought of something, and frowned: "Uncle Shi, you mean that in other places in the demon world outside the Black Prison Mountain, maybe the strength of the demon clan is not so weak?"
Patriarch Huoye was silent for a moment and said, "I don't dare to say what the situation in the demon realm is, but in my opinion, with the strength of the demon clan ten thousand years ago, it is impossible to fall into such a predicament." Also, in my opinion, the monkey demon is still inexperienced, and most of what he knows is from those books and classics, not from his own eyes. Speaking of this, Patriarch Huoye's eyes closed slightly, and then said lightly,
"That monkey demon said that when they were in the last days of the Heavenly Demon King Court, the realm of those great heavenly demons was equivalent to the Yuan Dan realm of our human race cultivators?"
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes." When the old white monkey said these words to him that day, he remembered them clearly.
It's just that Patriarch Huoye shook his head, with a little disdain in his expression, and said indifferently: "It's just a frog at the bottom of the well." This time, however, he closed his eyes completely and said no more.
Shen Shi was stunned, a little at a loss for a while, but fortunately, Huaiyuan Zhenren didn't seem to have much of a shelf, and after smiling, he said to him: "That monkey demon underestimated the ancestors of their demon clan too much, when the last battle between the two demon clans in Tianhong City was final, those few heavenly demons ......" His eyes were slightly flickering, as if recalling the story of the past, and then said lightly,
"Those Heavenly Demons were the ones who were killed by our human race with the lives of countless monks. ”
(Last night's class reunion, the update was late, sorry...... Anyway, time will really change a lot of people, a little sigh. )
