Chapter 418: Their Respective Paths

Shen Shi was silent for a while, and said, "Senior brother, whether you are doing things right or wrong is really not something I can judge, so it is difficult for me to answer." ”

Du Tiejian smiled and said with a little self-deprecation: "If you fight with a strong enemy with a sword, I will not be cowardly, but that day in the Alder Realm and the Demon Realm, if I want to kill the women and children with my own hands, I still can't do it, maybe this is the benevolence of women?"

Shen Shi glanced at Du Tiejian deeply, pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior brother, I don't know if this thing is right or wrong, and sometimes a woman's kindness may be another kind of compassion, and it depends on how people think of it after all. It's just that as far as I'm concerned......"

Du Tiejian looked at him and said, "What?"

Shen Shi said: "I think it is still inappropriate to treat the demon clan with oneself. ”

Du Tiejian thought for a while, and muttered: "Can't you live by yourself......" After thinking silently for a while, he suddenly smiled, patted Shen Shi's shoulder, and said, "Thinking about the scene when I brought you back to Tianhong City from the Guiyuan Realm and brought you here to drink, it seems that it was just yesterday, but now I still have to ask you for advice, and the more confused I am, the more useless I become." ”

Shen Shi shook his head with a smile and said, "Senior brother said he was laughing. After a moment of silence, he seemed to be considering his words, and then said softly, "Senior brother, you know that I respect you very much, and in my opinion, my uncle also loves you very much. As long as you are firm in your mind, the great position of the sect will still be handed over to you in the future, and at that time, the Guangda sect will make magnificent achievements, and there will naturally be countless opportunities. ”

Du Tiejian smiled, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "I understand what you said, it's just that people come to this world for a while, and finally have a few chances to achieve a Tao, so I want to live this life freely and freely." It is naturally good to do great things, but if I want to disobey my will and struggle to regret it, what is the use of it?"

Shen Shi took a step forward and said, "Senior brother, you misunderstood, I mean ......"

Du Tiejian waved his hand lightly, stopped Shen Shi's words, took two steps forward, came to the city wall and faced the sea, looked at the bright moon, suddenly laughed, did not speak, but raised the wine jar and drank with his head up. He swallowed it in great gulps, and when it was gone, he raised his hand, and the jar flew into the distance, and disappeared into the night.

When the moonlight fell, the bald man stood on the top of the Great Wall, staring into the distance, his demeanor gradually became heroic, and suddenly turned around and smiled at Shen Shi: "In the past few years, I have been in trouble, always thinking about the great position of the sect, and the Dao heart is blocked and I can't figure it out, but it is not until today that I see the bright moon in the sea, and I know that it is ridiculous." ”

Shen Shi's heart shook, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Du Tiejian slapped the city wall with his hand and said angrily: "What does the world's eyes have to do with me, a good man is happy with his heart, but he has a clear conscience." ”

Shen Shi looked at Du Tiejian and looked at his tall and burly back, but his heart slowly sank. There was a faint feeling in his heart that perhaps he, a heroic and outstanding senior brother, had finally chosen a different path to move forward alone.

Whether that path was right or wrong, Shen Shi didn't know.

But what he knew was that the road must be difficult.

After dawn the next day, Du Tiejian and Shen Shi left Tianhong City and returned to the Formation Island to continue their journey back to the Lingxiao Sect. After saying goodbye to Shen Shi, Du Tiejian went directly back to his cave, and then closed the stone gate for many days, but I don't know if I was in retreat alone or thinking about something.

Shen Shi was a little worried about Du Tiejian, but he didn't know what to do in the face of such a situation, and that Senior Brother Du was obviously a very assertive man, and Shen Shi didn't think he could persuade him. What's more, after Shen Shi chatted with Du Tiejian all night, although he couldn't say that he had suddenly woken up, seeing that Du Tiejian was now resolute, he couldn't help but waver a little bit about his thoughts.

He returned to the cave mansion he had been absent for a long time, thanks to the blessing of his master Pu Old Man, this cave mansion was not taken back by the sect even when he left the Lingxiao Sect, and the cloud talisman had been returned to him by the master. In the cave mansion, Shen Shi also stayed alone for a few days, and there were many disturbances in the past few days, especially the affairs of the demon world were not an easy thing for him, and he thought about it alone for a long, long time.

Have a clear conscience?

So is there one thing in this world that is really completely right, and it must be right to follow the mind and have a clear conscience?

Shen Shi thought back to the first half of his life in a daze and doubt, and in the end he didn't come to a conclusion, but he missed his father Shen Tai more and more. If my father was around, I would have asked him for advice.

After staying alone in the cave for three days, Shen Shi finally came out, because of the confusion caused by Du Tiejian, he still didn't come to a conclusion, but in this thinking process, he felt extremely lonely, he thought of his father, Ling Chunni, and his friends, he suddenly didn't want to be alone anymore.

Shen Shi inquired on Jinhong Mountain and found that Senior Brother Du Tiejian had been in retreat since he came back, and he hadn't stepped out of the cave until now. Shen Shi shook his head secretly, and didn't dare to disturb him, and after thinking for a while, he came all the way to the Elixir Palace, intending to find Zhong Qinglu.

Whoever it was, he always felt as if he wanted to talk to someone in particular, but he couldn't tell what he was afraid of.

Who knew that the disciples in the elixir hall told Shen Shi that Zhong Qinglu had not been on Jinhong Mountain in the past few days, nor had he returned to the Zhong family in Cloud City, but had gone to the sea near the Canghai Island at the foot of the mountain to collect several sea spiritual materials that could be used for alchemy and medicine.

Shen Shi pounced into the air and had to walk out, but from Zhong Qinglu's whereabouts, he suddenly thought that in addition to being on Jinhong Mountain, he actually had a good friend who was ignored by him from time to time, and that was the starfish girl of the Red Mussel Clan on Qingyu Island.

Thinking of the starfish in his heart, Shen Shi did not hesitate for too long, and soon decided to go to the Red Clam Village on Qingyu Island to see her, such a decisive decision made him himself a little surprised, and it seemed that he was also a little influenced by Senior Brother Du.

Piloting the Snow Falling Sword to fly in the sky, speeding all the way down from Jinhong Mountain, this is not much faster than when he was young, looking at the sea and sky, Shen Shi also felt that his mind seemed to be a lot broader, and his mood improved.

Soon, flying across a large area of the sea, I saw the famous and familiar Qingyun Island. Shen Shi circled in mid-air, went directly to Hongbang Village on the back island, and then landed on the beach outside the village.

As usual, Hongbang Village was very quiet, Shen Shi didn't even see the villagers walking inside, and on this beautiful white beach, he was the only one left, slowly walking towards the village.

It was here many years ago that he swam and played with starfish.

A smile appeared on his face, and he was in a cheerful mood, thinking to himself that Starfish didn't know what was going on lately, but unfortunately he was too busy these days to have a suitable gift for her, and next time remember to bring her a fun gadget. Because she has always longed to see the outside world.

He walked across the beach and into the village, leaving a trail of lonely footprints on the sand behind him.
