Chapter 421: Pursuit

Shen Shi's hands slowly tightened, his eyes lowered slightly, and the expression on his face didn't seem to change much, and after a while, he whispered, "What happened later?"

"Later, many of them wanted to go crazy, but they didn't have the courage to go crazy, and they didn't dare to move when they saw the corpses on the ground." He smiled and said, "You see, after living in this comfortable place for a long time, they suddenly face life and death, and they don't even have the courage to fight hard. Later, they wanted to go to the Lingxiao Sect to complain, but as you know, at that time, the elite of the sect went to the demon realm, and the elders who stayed behind were too lazy to care about these trivial matters, so in the end, these Red Mussel Clan people felt that this place was not good to live in anymore, so they left here. ”

After he paused, as if he was still afraid that Shen Shi would not understand, he followed again, and said, "That's how things happened." ”

Shen Shi stared at him, and after a while, he said abruptly, "You did it on purpose?"

Baili's face did not change, and he confessed unexpectedly, "Yes." ”

Shen Shi said: "Why?"

Bai Li Jue didn't answer his question again this time, but instead looked at Shen Shi with interest, and then said, "Senior Brother Shen, I already know your behavior in the demon realm, I already know from the news that has been transmitted back to the sect. Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, what do you think of the demon clan?"

Shen Shi's heart jumped slightly, and he said, "What do you mean by this, senior brother?"

Baili Jue said: "When the junior brother was in the demon world, he was strong and resolute in the demon clan, and even personally killed the demon clan general, which is admirable;

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "When I was a teenager, I practiced on this Qingyu Island, and I made friends with the people of this Red Clam Demon Clan, which can be regarded as an old acquaintance, so it is naturally different. ”

Baili Jue nodded, walked to Shen Shi's side, and then said softly: "In this way, then I have a question, and I would like to ask my junior brother: I wonder if you can guarantee that the Red Mussel Demon Clan will always be weak in the future? Or if the Red Mussel Demon Clan rises strong in the future, they will not pose a threat to the Terran Race, and the Red Mussel Clan will not remember their kindness because they have been under the protection of our Lingxiao Sect for thousands of years, and they will never kill the Terran?"

Shen Shi was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said, "No." At the end, he followed another sentence, saying, "People's hearts are changeable, who can really see through them?"

Baili Jue smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, junior brother, since this is the case, I think I did nothing wrong when I drove away the Red Clam Demon Clan before." ”

Shen Shi suddenly felt at a loss in his heart, he wanted to refute and reprimand, but then he understood something. How could such a big thing as driving away the Red Mussel Demon Clan be something that only a young disciple could decide? The Red Mussel Clan had clearly asked for help from the top of the Ling Xiao Sect, but the final result was like this, so the thoughts of those people who held power in the Ling Xiao Sect were naturally self-evident. Perhaps it is a great mercy not to kill them all.

A sense of tiredness that he had never felt before swept through Shen Shi's heart, and there seemed to be a lot to say in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't know where to start.

Baili Jue patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, you have to think about it, there are some things that you still have to be cautious about." ”

With that, he turned around and walked away, and quickly walked out of the village, while Shen Shi looked at the back of this senior brother in a daze, standing in place for a long, long time.

&&&

The affairs of the world, never stop for anyone, a demon clan that has secretly lived for a long time under the wings of Lingxiao Sect, just quietly left Qingyu Island, helpless and full of coldness, but in this 10,000-year-old faction with a long history, there were almost no waves.

That day, Shen Shi stayed in that empty village for a long time, and it was not until it got dark that he left here and returned to Jinhong Mountain, and then went headlong into his cave and did not come out for several days.

He is just an ordinary and insignificant ordinary monk, his Taoism and deeds are not comparable to those Yuan Dan real people, his power is negligible, and he is at most a young man with a small personal speech in the world.

He couldn't do anything.

He has always been calm, so he has no regrets, even for his actions in the demon world, he has no remorse, because he doesn't feel that he is wrong. But when he stood in that village, Shen Shi couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.

Maybe in the vast era, there are always some people who are destined to be sacrificed?

Is their misfortune the price they pay for pursuing higher dreams?

Shen Shi stayed in his cave mansion for a long time, and then when he left one day, he went directly down Jinhong Mountain and walked in the direction of Liuyun City.

In the old mansion of the Xu family in Liuyun City, it looks no different from before, and life is still peaceful, but the slight difference is that Miss Xu Xueying, who is the most favored by everyone in this family, seems to have a fox pet recently. The fox was very large, with snow-white fur all over its body, and it looked extremely cute, and Miss Snow Shadow liked it very much, and often took the fox around the house and played with it.

This day is still the same, Xu Xueying walked in his back garden with the fox, the fox's snow-white fur looked a little smoother and more beautiful than before, and it looked extraordinarily beautiful. After this period of life in the Xu family, the fox was obviously familiar with Xu Xueying and followed her all the way, but I don't know why, this fox never seemed to show the same closeness to Xu Xueying as Shen Shi. It just followed the girl with a bit of laziness every day, eating and sleeping, like a mess.

Xu Xueying is very good to the fox, sometimes when she sees the fox, she thinks of Shen Shi, she misses it a little, and then occasionally she is stunned, even if there are all kinds of colorful flowers in the garden, she no longer seems to be as attentive and fond as before.

She would smile occasionally, frown occasionally, and there seemed to be something hidden between her eyebrows, and she never said it, but she didn't know that it was so obvious that even a fox could see it.

However, the fox has a little nosy mind, and it is too lazy to care about the strange mood of a Terran girl who is not too familiar, so at the moment it is still lazily lying on the grass in the back garden, basking in the sun, and yawning lazily.

Suddenly, the fox's ears jerked up, and then this guy jumped up with a spirit, and even scared Xu Xueying next to him, and before Xu Xueying could react, the fox had already shouted twice in the direction of the garden gate behind him, and then strode over.

Xu Xueying subconsciously screamed twice, and then saw that at the arch of the garden, there was a familiar man standing in front of it, it was Shen Shi.

She cried out with an "ah", followed the fox to Shen Shi's side, looked at him with bright eyes, and said, "Brother Shen, you ...... It's back."

Shen Shi laughed, leaned over and grabbed the fox that was desperately rubbing his legs and feet, touched it twice on its head, and then laughed loudly: "Good guy, it's only been a long time, and it's grown a lot of meat." ”

The fox grinned, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment, Shen Shi then turned to look at Xu Xueying, nodded at her, and said, "Thank you for taking care of it, I'll take the fox away now." ”

Xu Xueying was taken aback, she didn't expect Shen Shi to leave as soon as she came, but this time she didn't know when Shen Shi would be able to come to Xu's house again, she was disappointed for a while, and then in a hurry, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said loudly:

"By the way, Brother Shen, you wait a minute. As she spoke, she took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, a strange person came to the door and said that he wanted your whereabouts. But I didn't know at the time, so he only told you to come back and see them once if you had a chance. ”

Shen Shi was stunned and said, "Who is this?" ”

Xu Xueying said: "I don't know, but he reported his name that day, saying that his name was 'Xiao Qi'." ”

"Little Qi ......"

Shen Shi frowned and thought for a while, but found that he really didn't seem to know this person.
