Chapter Forty-Nine: Mountain Bear
The night was peaceful, and there were no accidents, Shen Shi and the little black pig slept quietly on this tree for the night, and when the next morning dawned, the dew continued to drip from the leaves of the forest, and he woke up from his sleep.
A new day begins.
Shen Shi sat on the branches of the tree trunk, sat for a moment, then took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the little black pig, and found that the little guy seemed to wake up earlier than himself, his two bright eyes were dripping, looking at the surrounding environment surrounded by green leaves, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shen Shi smiled and said, "Xiao Hei, let's go, let's try our luck in Gaoling Mountain." ”
The little black pig grinned, as if smiling, and at the same time snorted in his mouth.
Shen Shi turned around, and when he was about to jump off the tree trunk, he suddenly heard a sharp scream in the distance on the other side of the woods, which suddenly broke the silence of this forest, Shen Shi's body shook, and he immediately paused and pressed Xiao Hei who had just remembered.
There was a few sounds of breaking through the air, mixed with hoarse cries for help, but a moment later, a man covered in blood ran over as if he had gone crazy, and there were several wounds on his body, and the blood flowed profusely, especially the two places on his abdomen and chest, which were even more shocking.
Shen Shi frowned on the tree, looking at the seriously injured man who suddenly appeared under the tree, only to see this person running from a distance, getting closer and closer, but it could be seen that he was indeed seriously injured, and his steps were getting slower and slower, and he staggered as if he would fall down at any time.
And behind this man, a figure suddenly appeared in the depths of the woods, his figure was fast, and he quickly chased after him, and it looked like it was also a man, and there was some blood on his body, but there was no wound, but it was a little like a splash.
The distance between the two men in front of him and behind him was rapidly shortening, and the man in front of him had a dejected face and a look of despair after the chasing soldiers appeared, while the man behind him sneered: "Just a small ecstasy array also wants to stop me, just die." ”
As soon as the words fell, he had already chased not far behind the man in front of him, a sharp light flashed, flashed out of his hand, and I don't know what kind of blade it was, it directly hit the back of the man in front of him, and the man who was seriously injured and dying suddenly spurted blood from his mouth, and suddenly fell forward to the ground, his hands and feet twitched, and the whole person curled up.
At this moment, the two chased all the way, and unconsciously reached the place where Shen Shi was only a foot away from the big tree, Shen Shi clearly saw that the man who fell to the ground gradually lowered his voice, and after a few painful times, he finally tilted his head and was silent.
Then the man in the back walked over at this moment, kicked the dead man's head with his foot, sneered, and just wanted to say something, suddenly seemed to notice something, his body shook, and suddenly raised his head, at that moment, his eyes suddenly saw the Shen Shi on the big tree not far ahead.
The man's face changed slightly, staring at Shen Shi sitting on the tree, obviously he didn't expect such an accident to appear in this forest, and Shen Shi was also silent, his eyes did not retreat, but there were two more talismans hidden in the palm of his hand silently.
One was on the tree, the other was under the tree, and after a moment of silence and confrontation with each other, the man under the tree suddenly snorted, stretched out his hand, and a white light suddenly flew back to his hand from the corpse, but it was a strangely shaped ice blade, like a knife but not a knife, with a sharp hook in front of it, and it looked bloodstained, and I don't know how much blood had been stained.
The man held this strange blade in his hand, and looked up at Shen Shi coldly, but Shen Shi looked at him calmly, still without saying a word.
There was another moment of stalemate, and the atmosphere in the forest suddenly became a little cold, but after a while, the man under the tree seemed to think of something, and finally began to slowly retreat, and it was not long before he disappeared into the depths of the woods, and no one was seen again.
Shen Shi waited for a while before jumping down from the tree with the little black pig, looking at the bloody scene in the early morning, looking at the corpse of the unknown man lying in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The world is indeed cruel, the killing seems to never stop, people can be seen everywhere, but they can also die at any time.
Shen Shi noticed that there was a black bear pattern embroidered on the corner of the corpse's clothes on the ground, which looked like the symbol of a certain sect, just like the Lingxiao Sect's disciple's uniform would also have a distinct golden rainbow pattern. In fact, if it weren't for his lack of Taoism, and he went out walking alone, wearing the disciple uniform of the Lingxiao Sect, and taking the prestige of the Lingxiao Sect, he would have saved a lot of trouble, and at the same time with his back to the sect, at least here in Haizhou, that kind of majesty is not bad.
However, Shen Shi has never been very interested in this kind of vanity, and he walked alone in the wilderness, and he had just arrived in the Ning Yuan Realm, and his strength was insufficient, so he rashly wore the disciple uniform of the Ling Xiao Sect, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be more dangerous than gained, so he had always been wearing civilian clothes when he went down the mountain this time. However, the costume worn by the dead man in front of him, Shen Shi thought about it carefully, and seemed to have a vague impression, as if he belonged to a small sect called "Mountain Bear Hall" in Haizhou.
As for who the murderer is and what grievances he has with this sect, it is not something that Shen Shi can know at this moment.
He took one last look at the corpse on the ground, and after a moment of silence, he walked past him in silence and walked out into the woods. Only the dead corpse was left behind, as if forgotten by the whole world, and fell quietly in this secluded forest.
※※※
The Gaoling Mountains are so vast that they stretch for thousands of miles, with undulating peaks and peaks, and it stands to reason that it is extremely difficult to find a tomb. However, after the news of the birth of the tomb leaked out for some reason, the location of the tomb was no longer a secret.
Shen Shi also asked carefully before entering the mountain, and after paying a small price, he learned the general content of the rumors about this recent hottest treasure in Gaoling City, about half a year ago, there was a very dynamic earthquake in the depths of Gaoling Mountain, and even Gaoling City, which was far away from the mountain, would feel a little shaking. In the months that followed, several waves of monks who had been searching for treasures in the Gaoling Mountains discovered that there was a large cemetery in a valley deep in the mountains that had been closed by boulders.
No one knows the origin of this mausoleum, and no one even knows where the entrance of the mausoleum is, but it is said that all kinds of stone carvings on the surface of the ground are rare and rare things on weekdays, and it is not difficult to imagine how prominent the identity of the owner of this tomb is, and it is logical that the treasure tombs in this mausoleum must be staggering.
It stands to reason that the monks who found this treasure should have kept their mouths shut and went to explore and hunt for treasures by themselves, but for some reason the news finally came out, and the rumors were boiling, and now not only Haizhou monks, but even monks from several nearby states rushed over, so that the wind and clouds near Gaoling Mountain gathered and were lively.
After listening to these rumors, Shen Shi shook his head in his heart, this kind of news is empty and useless, except for the general location of the valley, it is like nothing. However, most of the rumors in the city are like this now, but if there is really any secret information, everyone who knows it will definitely guard it tightly and refuse to reveal it at all.
Shen Shi's hope for the future of his luck this time was reduced a little, but the sigh was a sigh, and in the end, he still took Xiao Hei into Gaoling Mountain.
Gaoling Mountain has a radius of thousands of miles, there are many roads into the mountain, as long as there are monks who are in the body, they can enter the mountain range from almost every mountain direction, as for those monks who are profound, and even wealthy and wealthy have rare magic weapons for flying in the sky, they are even more at ease, and Shen Shi saw several monks flying over his head with his own eyes.
Those who can travel the world without the help of external forces and only rely on their own strength are the great supernatural powers that only the great people of the Yuandan Realm can have, and under the Yuandan Realm, whether it is the Divine Artistic Conception or the Ning Yuan Realm, if you want to fly freely like an immortal, you must use a flying magic weapon or a spiritual weapon. The difference is that the realm of the divine artistic conception is far superior to the Ning Yuan realm, and the magic weapon that can be used is much more powerful, and sometimes it can even directly refine its own magic weapon to increase the ability to fly, such as the Ling Xiao Three Swords that Shen Shi has seen in the past, which are all extremely powerful monks in the divine artistic conception, driving the magic weapon to fly in the sky, although it is not as high as the Yuan Dan Realm Dazhen, it can go up to the nine heavens, but it also comes and goes like electricity, which makes people feel unattainable.
As for the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm, if they want to fly in the sky, they must be able to get a very rare flying spirit weapon, and the height and speed of the flight are limited, but Rao is so, it is still extremely convenient to be able to fly in the sky, it is said that among the children of those families in Liuyun City, when some sons want to show off in front of their favorite girls, they will often find a way to fly in the sky and go down.
Shen Shi stood on the mountain road to the depths of Gaoling Mountain, and when he looked up, he saw a similar scene, a young man in front of him was driving a sword-shaped spiritual weapon, flying twice in the sky from the ground, and then slowly landing, which immediately attracted a girl standing on the ground to applaud, and he also showed a smug smile on his face.
Beside the two men and women, there were also several figures who looked like followers, all of whom looked like monks with Taoism, among them there were more stable elders, all of whom had frowned slightly at this moment and glanced around.
On the mountain road, there are many monks who enter the mountain, although there are many monks scattered because of the road into the mountain, but the number of people in this direction is still quite a lot, there are three or four waves of people around the front and back of Shen Shi, and this scene is also seen by everyone.
Shen Shi walked alone, looking ordinary and ordinary, Xiao Hei followed at his feet, and seemed to be very honest at the moment, except for his love to run back and forth on the side of the road, there was nothing unusual.
It was just a cold snort, but it came from not far behind Shen Shi. Shen Shi's eyes slanted slightly, looked behind him, and found that there were five people in the group of people behind him, all of them were men, and the cold snort was made by a tall man first, only to see that his eyes were cold and looking at the young men and women in front of him who were laughing and laughing, like a spring in this Gaoling Mountain, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Shen Shi frowned, and was about to turn his head away and ignore it, but suddenly the corner of his eye swept over, but he saw that the cuffs of these five men's clothes actually had a black bear pattern on them.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately remembered the man he had seen in the morning who had been killed in front of his eyes, and at about the same time, the man who snorted coldly over there seemed to have sensed something, and turned his head to look at him.
