Chapter 10: Night Talk
The sun rises and sets, and in the blink of an eye, it is nightfall. The gentle breeze blows across the surface of Jingshui Lake, causing ripples, which are beautiful in the bright moonlight.
On the shore of Jingshui Lake, Wu Ni and Shen Li walked slowly forward by the lake, their black robes covering Wu Ni's petite figure. At this moment, the veil has faded, and a faint crimson rises on her jade-like cheeks, which adds a bit of femininity. Shen Li beside him, with a cold face, a tall figure, and a heroic posture, is like a pair of beautiful people.
After a while, the two stopped, and Shen Li walked to a relatively flat bluestone, bent down, brushed the dust off it with his sleeve, and motioned for Wuni to sit down. Wu Ni was stunned for a moment, but slowly sat down on the side of the bluestone. Under this soft night, for some reason, Wuni's cheeks turned a little redder.
Shen Li still stood in place with his hands in his hands and didn't mean to sit down, relatively speechless, just quietly admiring the beautiful scenery of the lake under the moon. After a moment, Wu Ni interrupted the silence and said, "Don't you want to know why I'm like this?" Shen Li was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Wu Ni was referring to.
"You mean Ji Ping's matter during the day? If you don't want to say it, I won't ask" Shen Li's voice was a little cold, and the action of brushing the dust on the gray bluestone with his sleeve just now was so gentle. This makes Wuni's heart sweet, and at the same time, there is always some distance that flickers away and nears.
Wu Ni raised her head to look at Shen Li's handsome knife-like cheeks, but found that Shen Li looked up at the lake in the distance, and didn't care about what she had just said. There was a little annoyance in his heart, and he said secretly: "What a fool", but he explained: "I just don't want him to die for no reason" Shen Li's cold face showed a rare smile and said, "The sky has warmed, and the ice and snow near Tianmai Mountain have begun to melt, and at this time of year, the sect will send a large number of disciples to Tianmai Mountain" Without waiting for Shen Li to finish speaking, Wuni rushed to say" I know that this trip to Tianmai Mountain will definitely have the name of that stinky boy, and with Elder Xingye's character of retribution, he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to get rid of that kid."
At the mention of Xing Ye's name, Shen Li's face slowly became gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he said: " In recent years, the sect master has handed over almost everything in the sect to the two elders and elders of Xing Ye and Feng Ming, and the sect master himself said that he was in retreat and cultivation, but there has been no news of the sect master for a long time. Moreover, the two elders are both the main battle faction, and in the future, when the sect master's soul returns to the netherworld, no matter who is in charge of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, the two of them will lead all the disciples to attack the Divine Gate to recover the blood debt of a thousand years ago, and then the Divine Prefecture will never have peace.
Wu Ni was secretly taken aback, she knew that the two elders of Xingye and Feng Ming had always had ambitions for the Soul Restoration Sect, but they didn't know that their real purpose was to occupy the entire Shenzhou. Shen Li paused and said, "Before the sect master went into retreat, whenever the two elders mentioned the matter of going south, the sect master was suppressed on the grounds that the time was not ripe, and now that the sect master has been in retreat for a long time, there is gradually no opposition in the sect, the general trend is the trend, even if you and I have different opinions, but what is the use of people talking lightly?" Shen Li laughed bitterly at himself, and then his face was full of worry.
Wu Ni seemed to suddenly think of something: "Without a complete Soul Determination Method and the Blue Emperor Soul Stone, even if they go south, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Divine Gate, these should be what they should think of."
Shen Li shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid, the secret of the soul clan will be solved soon, and it will only take a few years to find the heart method and the Blue Emperor Soul Stone."
"How is it possible, our sect has been searching for hundreds of years without finding a single clue. "Dancing with an incredible face
Shen Li continued, "Do you remember that a few months ago, the elder of Sword Casting Peak went to Tianmai Mountain once in search of thousand-year-old ice? It was that time when the hinterland of Tianmai Mountain changed drastically, the wind and snow there were much smaller than before, and some places had begun to collapse, revealing their original appearance, Xing Ye deduced that it must be that the magic circle at Tianmai Mountain had begun to disappear, and then the masters of the sect took turns to go there several times, and found the fragments of the Soul Gathering Stone left by the arrangement of the formation in the mountain, but because the remnants of the formation were still there, they left after killing and injuring several people.
Wu Ni's mood began to become complicated, and after the joy, there was endless worry, rejoicing that the revival of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect for hundreds of years was about to succeed, and the worry was the endless fighting and destruction of lives in the future
"Does the Divine Gate know about this?" Wu Ni asked after a moment's thought
"I should also know that Elder Forge Sword Peak said that there were also people from the Divine Sect present at that time, and he also rescued a girl" Shen Li slowly lost his worried look, returned to his usual coldness and calm, and then said lightly, "Let it be, the will of heaven is not something that I and other sentient beings can decide."
Wu Ni was still unsatisfied, but she had already seen that Shen Li didn't want to talk about this heavy topic anymore, so she asked jokingly: "You said so many things at once, do you feel that you are very shameless?" Shen Li didn't answer, but asked, "Then why did you go to great lengths to save that person?"
Wu Ni didn't know how to answer for a while, and hurriedly explained: "I just don't want him to give up his life because of my business" After saying that, Wu Ni seemed to remember something, gritted her teeth for a while, and then her cheeks turned crimson again. Wu Ni raised her head and glanced at Shen Li secretly, and found that Shen Li did not find out her gaffe, so she put her mind at ease, but then thought about it and secretly said in her heart, "What a nerd"
Shen Li raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, and found that the moon was halfway through, so he said: "It's getting late, let's rest early" Wuni seemed to be a little unfinished, but still stood up with a hum. Then the two left along the same path as they had come from the lake.
Forged Sword Peak
Ji Ping, who was lying on the stone bed, slowly sat up straight against the wall, and the piercing pain in his body made his face look a little pale. Ji Ping tried hard to recall everything that happened during the day, thinking about the moment when Shen Li's black mist dissipated and his hands slapped at him, and then thought of the way Wuni gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but smile stupidly. At this time, the stone door opened, and the old man in blue walked over to the side of the stone bed, and by the moonlight shining through the stone door, Ji Ping saw clearly that the person who came was the master, but for a moment Ji Ping seemed to feel that the master's face was a little older.
"Master," Ji Ping said in a hoarse voice
The old man in blue waved his hand and motioned for Ji Ping to lie down
"I've seen your injuries, Shen Li is very measured, it's just that some external injuries are not a big deal," he said, took out a box from his sleeve and put it in front of the bed, and then said, "One a day, you will recover in a few months, and when you heal from your injuries, you must thank Wuni and Shen Li" Ji Ping asked with doubts in his head: "Why do you want to thank them?" The old man in blue seemed to not want to explain things thoroughly, so he said: "They are all people with a heart, you will know about it in the future" After saying that, he was about to leave, but the old man in blue thought for a while and then turned around and said: " Whoever asks you about your past, you answer that you can't remember, and that you don't want outsiders to see your belongings."
Ji Ping still had a lot of doubts to ask clearly, but the old man in blue didn't seem to want to stay here too long, and he didn't walk out of the stone room without heading, and then the door of the stone room also closed suddenly.
The old man in blue didn't go far after leaving, standing not far from the stone room, looking at the deep sky, and muttered to himself, "Creation makes people, what should come will always come."
