Chapter 271: Wind and Snow Night Walk 2
Chapter 271 Wind and Snow Night Walk 2
In the huge ancient temple, it became unusually quiet in the middle of the night, or perhaps this was the place where the penance was born, and there were no lights in the place where it passed, only the wind and snow that seemed to never stop falling.
Shen Shi walked silently, the cold wind swept his cheeks with snow powder, and his figure could be seen in the faint light of the night, but without Xiao Hei, who had been with him in the past, his shadow of walking alone at the moment seemed to be suddenly more lonely.
Walking through those cloister courtyards, stepping on a line of footprints in the snow and then gently covering them by the wind and snow, Shen Shi gradually approached the gate of the Zhenlong Palace. Although there are few people here in the depths of the Extreme North Snow Field, as a big sect like the Four Righteous Famous Sects, it is obviously impossible to take it lightly in guarding the portal, so Shen Shi is also ready to be questioned by the guarding monks.
However, it wasn't until he reached the gate of this mountain gate that it was unexpectedly quiet along the way, and he didn't see a single monk from the Zhenlong Temple.
Shen Shi looked around, his face showed a little surprise, of course this matter is not normal, the surrounding courtyard looks quiet and a little scary. After standing there and muttering for a long time, he walked to the simple and heavy gate, removed the crossbar, opened the door and walked out.
When his footsteps just stepped out of the threshold, Shen Shi's body suddenly stiffened, but he saw at a glance that outside the gate, in the midst of this wind and snow, there was a figure standing, and the snow had fallen on his body with a thick layer, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.
Dressed in a monk's robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, it was the abbot of the Zhenlong Palace, and there was another little black shadow lying at his feet, but it was Xiao Hei, seeing Shen Shi walking out at this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly became excited, ran to his feet at once, and rubbed it several times.
Shen Shi gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said to the Heavenly Master: "Master." ”
The Venerable Master turned around and glanced at Shen Shi, with a hint of compassion in his eyes, and said, "Are you leaving?"
Shen Shi leaned over and picked up Xiao Hei, hugged it in his arms and touched its head, and then walked to the side of the Venerable Master of Heavenly Suffering, stood side by side with him and looked into the distance, only to see a snowfield outside the ancient temple of Zhenlongdian was pale and vast, the wind and snow seemed to be boundless, and there was a slaughter between heaven and earth, looking extremely flat, but I didn't know where the road was.
"The disciple has thought about it," Shen Shi said in a low voice, "Since the matter has come to this, it is better for the disciple to take the first step." It's just that in this way, I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble for the master again. ”
The Venerable Master slowly shook his head and said, "It's okay, but it's just a trivial matter. It's just Master Shen's nephew...... Donor, what are your plans for the future?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "I chose this path myself, and I can't blame others." The blood feud between the two clans of the demon clan is deep, and the Lingxiao Sect is even more of a famous sect, and some things are thought of even if the master and uncle know about it, they can't help themselves, so I don't want to go back to that sect. ”
Then the Venerable Master said, "Is there anything you want to do?"
Shen Shi thought for a while and said, "Yes, but you always have to do it slowly." ”
The Venerable Master nodded his head and said, "Since you have figured it out, I won't say much about it, if there is a fate in the future, after the donor understands the worldly karma, if there is nowhere to go, maybe you can return here." With that, he handed over a small wishful bag in his hand and handed it to Shen Shi.
Shen Shi took it and said solemnly: "Yes, thank you master." ”
After that, he looked back at Xiao Hei in his arms, only to see that its eyes were flashing, and it was staring at him. Shen Shiqiang smiled, lowered his head and kissed its little brain, then gently put it on the snow next to it, and then saluted Master Tianku, and then strode down the steps of this ancient temple, facing the snowstorm and the deep night, and walked towards the snowfield without looking back.
It didn't take long for his figure to disappear into the night, Xiao Hei stood on the stone steps, looked at Shen Shi's distant back in a daze, and suddenly screamed twice at the dark night.
The sound was a little poignant, but it was quickly blown away by the cold wind, swirling in this cold world, and finally dissipated.
※※※
The wind and snow in the Extreme North Snow Field seemed to never stop, and it was even rarer to walk on this snow field late at night, so Shen Shi did not encounter any obstacles for a long time after leaving the Zhenlong Hall and entering this snow field, except for the wind and snow.
Before leaving, the Ruyi bag given to him by Master Tianku contained a few things, none of which were too much or particularly valuable, but they were very practical and intimate. Some spirit crystals, some elixirs, a map showing the path of the snowfield, a small dragon boat that traveled on the snowfield in the far north, and finally even prepared some firewood and fire folds. With these things, it was enough for Shen Shi to walk out of this snowfield alone.
Shen Shi was quite grateful for this in his heart, although the Venerable Master of Heaven was resolute and ruthless at the beginning, and clearly said that he would only help him once to understand the fate of the former patriarch and Huang Ming, and not take it as an example, but in fact, he still helped him a lot later. Shen Shi understood these things in his heart, and he also secretly remembered them in his heart.
With the help of the small dragon boat, Shen Shi walked much faster, and according to the map sign in the Ruyi bag, he also chose a place in front of him as his rest place for the night. According to Shen Shi's own estimate, it will probably take more than an hour to reach that resting cave, and then rest there for two hours before dawn, and then catch up with the day's journey, and it should be almost possible to reach the Snow Dragon Mountains.
With his mind in mind, he went all the way, and the wind and snow hit him in the face like a knife. His mood is not completely calm, and when he looks back occasionally, there will always be indescribable pain and reluctance in his heart. Over the years, it turned out that he had already regarded Jin Hongshan as his second home.
Rushing to the road in such a distraught way, and I don't know how long I walked, Shen Shi suddenly heard a sudden beast-like cry from somewhere in the wind and snow ahead. He paused at his feet, this late night, most of the ordinary beasts, including demon beasts, also rested, and it was rare for them to appear on the snowfield, and the sound he heard at this moment seemed to be a little unusual. However, the direction from which the voice came was deviating from the path he was originally going to go, so after Shen Shi pondered for a while, he still didn't intend to pay attention to it, and continued to hurry forward directly.
It was only after a while that he suddenly heard another shout in his ears, this time it was much clearer, and it seemed that it was closer to him. It seemed that the strange beast in the wind and snow was also running towards him, and as the movement approached, Shen Shi quickly noticed something strange.
It seemed as if something was chasing the screaming beast. He frowned, paused, and looked back into the depths of the snowstorm, thoughtful......
And in the distant wind and snow, suddenly a gust of wind and snow disordered, and then a white figure flew over, and Shen Shi's gaze swept by, staring at the white shadow. In just a moment, in the snowstorm, suddenly there were more than a dozen dark green flames, like the ghost fire burning by the ghost in the middle of the night, and quickly approached him.
