Chapter 9 returns

Running all the way down the mountain and rushing into the depths of the clouds, Shen Shi's body seemed to set off a ripple in the clouds, and then disappeared. The stone steps under his feet were smooth and smooth, and Shen Shi took three steps and formed two steps, running all the way, much faster than when he went up the mountain, and it didn't take long for him to run down the mountain road and return to the original fork in the road.

His chest rose and fell, his breath was a little steady, and after first glancing in the direction of Tingfeng Tang, he subconsciously touched the Ruyi bag on his waist, as if he hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he turned around silently and walked back towards the way he came. Although Du Tiejian led the way when he came, the mountain road that he only saw here and Yingxiantai was not complicated, and there was only one mountain road in many places, so Shen Shi easily found the path back to Yingxiantai and walked all the way back.

When he returned to Yingxiantai and saw the three familiar courtyards, his heart seemed to be relieved, and his expression was calm and calm. At this moment, it was really daytime, and some of the disciples of the three sects were walking around on the Yingxian Terrace, and from time to time some disciples dressed in the costumes of the Yuan Shi Sect could be seen haunting the neighborhood.

Shen Shi settled down, and didn't want to attract attention, so he hung his head slightly and walked towards the side of Lingxiao Courtyard.

No one really noticed him on this section of the road, because Shen Shi did look like an ordinary disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, until he walked to the gate of the Lingxiao Courtyard, but suddenly saw that near the gate of the Courtyard, Senior Brother Du Tiejian was sitting a little lazily on a bluestone bench by the door, carrying a wine bottle, sitting alone and drinking, the sun was shining on his body, looking an inexplicable decadent laziness.

Shen Shi naturally would not be deceived by Du Tiejian's appearance, and when he was about to walk into the door, he stopped, and after thinking silently for a moment, he then turned around and walked to Du Tiejian's side, and said, "Senior Brother Du, I'm back." ”

Du Tiejian turned his head, his bright gaze stayed on Shen Shi's face for a moment, and then he grinned and said, "Okay." ”

Shen Shi was still thinking about how he would answer if Senior Brother Du asked what several real people in charge of the Wind Hall had said to him, after all, Huaiyuan Zhenren said it clearly and did not let him spread the matter. It's just that this Senior Brother Du is mysterious, and it doesn't seem that he is completely ignorant of the things in the demon world, and when he was hesitating in his heart, he didn't expect Du Tiejian to mention this matter at all, so he just smiled and only said two words, and there were no other words.

This time it was unexpected by Shen Shi, so that he suddenly didn't know what to say, and after looking at Du Tiejian for a long time, he remembered an abrupt thought that suddenly came to his mind just now, so he said to Du Tiejian: "Senior brother, I have one thing I want to ask you." ”

Du Tiejian smiled, took a sip of wine, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "Say it." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Senior brother, I heard that in the legend, the former head of the Six Saints asked Tiangong to comprehend the Great Dao on the Wuzhen Rock at the top of the Star Picking Peak of Mount Meru, and created the secret method of absorbing spirit crystals. But 10,000 years ago, wasn't this Mount Meru the Demon Emperor's palace, even if the Demon Emperor rarely came here, but this kind of royal forbidden land must not allow ordinary human beings to enter, so ask Tiangong why he can go deep into here and visit the Great Dao on the top of this mountain?"

Du Tiejian was also stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and scratched his head: "Uh, what you said seems to have some truth, I haven't paid attention to it before." But......" he thought for a moment, and then said, "But since he is a saint at the head of the Six Saints, he must be a hero of that generation, and there must be something unimaginable about us." Maybe he was too high, and he ran to this Mount Meru and the demon clan didn't notice it at all, or maybe he found some secret path or something that led to this mountain?"

As he spoke, Du Tiejian himself laughed and said: "Now that so much time has passed, no one can say clearly, anyway, legends are legends, if you really have to think about it, so long ago, maybe this is just a far-fetched place for future generations, and it is possible to ask Tiangong to really participate in the Great Dao here." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blurted out: "No, it must be on the Wuzhen Rock on this mountain." ”

Du Tiejian let out a "huh" and said, "Senior Brother Shen, how can you be so sure?"

Shen Shi chuckled in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice slightly, and said, "I see that there are so many people in the Yuan Shimen now, and I value the inheritance of the saints so much, I shouldn't be mistaken." ”

Du Tiejian laughed, waved his hand and said, "Then I can't say." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so he said goodbye to Du Tiejian and walked into the Lingxiao Courtyard, and walked quickly back to his room. As soon as he entered the door, he slammed the wooden door behind him, and the sound was quite loud, which made Xiao Hei, who was originally lying in bed, startled, and looked up at Shen Shi with some surprise.

Shen Shi leaned his back against the gate, stood blankly and waited for a while, then silently smiled bitterly and sighed.

At the same time, thousands of miles away from Sumeru Immortal Mountain, somewhere in the barren mountains and mountains of the Hongmeng Main Realm, a woman was walking briskly, and at the same time whispering something to herself, sounding like she was complaining:

"The mortal flesh fetus is really too restrictive...... Huh?" Suddenly, her voice was interrupted, and her body shook slightly, but as if she suddenly felt something, she stopped and looked back.

The mountains are undulating for thousands of miles, and the heavens and the earth are vast, without the slightest vision.

She frowned slightly, as if she was a little unsure, but quickly snorted and said, "If that sword is broken, no one in this world will be able to wake it up now." When I get my soul back, I'll come back sooner or later to settle accounts with you!"

As he spoke, he snorted coldly, waved his robe, and continued to walk forward.

Seeing that there were thousands of mountains and rivers in front of her, she didn't seem to care, as if she was going to go to the ends of the earth like this, floating alone.

※※※

Sumeru Immortal Mountain, on the Star Peak, Lingxiao Courtyard.

This day has passed quietly unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, night fell, and the lights in the courtyards of the three major sects gradually went out, and everything was quiet.

Shen Shi was lying on the bed in his room, but he was tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep peacefully, and in his mind, the illusion he saw on the Wuzhen Rock during the day still seemed to be impossible to forget, and it was still appearing in his mind repeatedly. Compared with his repetition, Xiao Hei, who had been sleeping in the house for most of the day, had fallen asleep again at this moment, lying in another corner of the bed, sleeping and even snoring, revealing his belly and not knowing it.

This pig is too sleepy.

Shen Shi sat up, shook his head helplessly, and casually pulled a little futon and put it on Xiao Hei's belly, Xiao Hei turned over, faced the wall, and fell asleep again with even breathing.

Shen Shi rubbed his eyebrows, walked back and forth in this room a few times, and suddenly reached out to wipe the Ruyi bag, and after a pause, when he raised his palm again, there was already a broken broken sword in his palm.

It was the fragment of the Immortal Killing Ancient Sword.

In the dark night, this immortal remnant sword was dim, looking like scrap copper and rotten iron, but it seemed that the material really had to be taken care of, and it was different from ordinary copper and iron, and it was biased towards jade, even Shen Shi's experienced eyes and knowledge couldn't recognize what it was.

It's just that there must be something very unusual about this broken sword!

Shen Shi stared at the short sword silently in the dark, and gently stroked the blade of the sword with his hand, and examined it carefully, but all of them were calm as usual, without the slightest abnormality.

The heat and white light that had suddenly appeared during the day showed no sign at the moment, and the remnant sword lay quietly in his palm, motionless.

It's just that for some reason, a somewhat ridiculous thought surged up in Shen Shi's heart, as if he seemed to feel that on this remnant sword, as if a voice was whispering and calling in a low voice.

He didn't know what it was calling, but with this broken sword in his hand, he had this strange feeling.

In the dark, Shen Shi's face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, the force he grasped on the hilt of the sword was slightly greater, and then he took a deep breath, he slowly walked to the door, then opened the door and walked out.

There is no moon or stars tonight, and the starlight is faint, sprinkled in the Lingxiao Courtyard.

Bathed in the slightly silvery starlight, Shen Shi looked down at the remnant sword in his hand, there was still no change, but the mysterious feeling in his heart seemed to be the strange call, and it increased slightly.

The corners of Shen Shi's eyes twitched, his breathing was a little short, maybe in his sanity, he insisted that he not be stupid and not to be too troublesome, but there always seemed to be another voice, but like a strong pusher, pushing himself forward hard behind his back.

Tens of millions of years ago, the mysterious and magnificent characters, the magnificent and fascinating world, and the terrifying but blood-soaked Tian** Ming, and finally, the mysterious and treacherous back......

Suddenly, he clenched the hilt of the sword, and then stepped forward.

In the darkness, in the starlight, he walked quietly alone.

Like a silent phantom at night, silently except for the other courtyard, he walked quickly in the shadows, passed through Yingsendai, and walked onto the mountain road.

The remnant sword in his hand still did not change at all, and it seemed that he was still sleeping, but Shen Shi, who was holding the hilt of the sword, clearly felt that the hilt in his hand began to tremble extremely slightly.

What awaits him ahead?

Shen Shi didn't know, but he was extremely eager to know at the moment, it seemed that it should be a mysterious scene that should have been hidden in the past years, and it might soon be opened in front of his eyes.

So after he made up his mind, he never flinched, this time, he walked through the mountain road, stepped on the stone steps, and finally re-embarked on the road to the Gojin Rock.

On the precipice, the boulder was as silent as ever, and the cold wind blew through its body, like a cold blade. It seemed as if millions of years had passed, as if nothing would ever change again, until the figure suddenly appeared and walked to the side of the big stone.

Stand side by side with it.

In his hand, he still holds the broken sword......

The night wind blew, whistling fiercely, and the heavens and the earth were reckless.

Then, in the darkness, in the deepest part of the darkness, suddenly there was a light.
