Chapter 9: Before Entering the City

Days of running.

Shen Qiye was reminiscing about the person Shui Jing Shitai all the way.

When he was very young, he heard his mother say that the water mirror master of the Huashan faction had helped the Shen family many times, and he was considered a great benefactor of their Shen family. Even when he was born, Master Shui Jing was watching from the sidelines.

So when he first arrived in front of Mrs. Shuijing, he even had some inexplicable intimacy.

Shen Qiye didn't have a chance to ask his parents about his childhood, but he could ask Mrs. Shui Jing, and Mrs. Shui Jing would definitely tell him. He didn't know where he was sure, probably because the person who saved him was Bai Ling, and Bai Ling was a disciple of Shui Jing.

An old Taoist girl dressed plainly slowly walked from the main hall to the open space in the vestibule, and walked in front of Shen Qiye and the four of them. Her steps were slow, so slow that it made people think she was an old man on the verge of death. But his steps were steady and powerful, even more powerful than some young people.

"You're here. Shui Jing opened his mouth and said.

"Do you know who I am?" asked Shen Qiye.

"The umbilical cords of the children of the Shen family are all cut by poor people, so they naturally will not admit their mistakes. Shui Jing smiled.

Shen Qiye also smiled and said, "Can Mrs. Shi tell me about my family's affairs back then, and why I was born in Huashan?"

"Your Shen family, it's just that there are too many troubles, and there are too many enemies. Shui Jing lost his smile, and his voice was a little bitter.

"When your mother was about to give birth, she was chased by the enemy of her dart game, and by chance she fled to Huashan with your father, and then I met the poor road. Originally, your father wanted to take your mother and son away after you were born, so as not to drag down the Huashan faction. But you didn't obey him, and you made a fuss in your mother's stomach but didn't come out. In the end, it dragged on for seven days and seven nights before your father casually gave you this name in a fit of anger. ”

Shen Qiye smiled bitterly: "There is still this matter." ”

"You enemies originally wanted to attack it, but fortunately, Huashan is dangerous, so you can only give up. Since that fight, for the Shen family, those who can help the poor Dao will always help a little until you are six years old......"

Shui Jing didn't say anything, but Shen Qiye smiled calmly: "When I was six years old, my wife was not in the capital, so there is no need to blame myself." ”

"Now I can only find the whereabouts of the orphans of the Shen family, and ask me to help you. You must not have imagined that since you were poisoned by the little girl of the Murong family, my little apprentice has been secretly following you. I just don't know where you were all these years ago. Shui Jing said.

"That's really unexpected, Yan Shi is a high apprentice. I've had a good life in the past few years, and I'm too worried about my teacher. Shen Qiye said with a smile.

Shui Jing said: "That's it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask." It doesn't hurt to think that you have the ability to enter the Sunless City alone, but it is a lot for me to let Bai Ling find you. ”

"Shi is too serious, there is a beauty by the side, it will be easier to investigate the case or something. Shen Qiye said with a smile. "Besides, if it weren't for the White Maiden, I would probably be dead by now. ”

Shui Jing smiled and said, "My apprentice is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity that I heard that you can't seem to see clearly." ”

Bai Ling had a calm demeanor, as if she was not happy or unhappy because of Shen Qiye's words.

Xiao Xiao couldn't hold back on the side, and said, "Master, you have the kung fu to idle here, why don't you talk about what we should pay attention to when entering the Sunless City?"

"Doctor Xiao laughed, Poor Dao has never entered the city, how can he know this?" Shui Jing said.

Xiao Xiao choked on this sentence.

"I called you here just to make sure that the Shen family kid is safe. Speaking of worrying, I'm afraid that those second- and third-rate killers in the city will have to worry about a few of you first. Shui Jing smiled.

"But there's still one person, so be extra careful. ”

"Dry hands plucking hearts?" asked Shen Qiye.

Shui Jing slowly frowned and said, "His terrible is that no living person can describe how terrible he is. Frankly speaking, neither Bai Ling nor I was sure that we could beat him in one move. ”

"If you don't win a move, I'm afraid he will win. Shen Qiye said.

Shui Jing said: "Although I don't know if your nail can defeat him in one move, it's best not to have a head-on confrontation with him until you are completely sure." ”

"Wait. Xiao Xiao said.

"So we came all the way to Huashan just to know that this city lord of Wusun can't be provoked?"

"Not really. Shui Jing smiled.

"Indeed, not really. Shen Qiye also smiled.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao's expression eased a little, Shen Qiye said again: "The scenery of Huashan is unique in the world, so in addition to visiting Shitai, we can also play for a few days." ”

Xiao Xiao didn't speak, he felt that if the person in front of him was not Shen Qiye but a cat or dog, he would have poisoned him so much that he would have been lying on the ground and smirking.

"Brother Xiao, we are now being hunted down by various sects, and we have nowhere to go before entering the city. Fortunately, the Huashan faction can let us hide for a few days, so there's nothing wrong with staying here and playing for a few days, isn't it?" Shen Qiye said with a smile.

Xiao Xiao still didn't reply, but turned to Murong You and said, "I know now why you hate him so much, don't worry, as long as there is a chance, I will make him unable to speak when he wants to speak, and he has to say it when he doesn't want to speak." ”

......

Huashan swordsmanship is known for its strangeness and danger. This is similar to the terrain of its mountains. The four of them just walked around Huashan, so comfortable, they didn't look like they were being chased and killed at all. However, before the disaster comes, it is understandable to enjoy a comfortable day.

Xiao Xiao was still walking beside Murong You, playing with his bottles and cans as he walked. Murong You, on the other hand, looked at the two people walking in front of them, his face a little cloudy.

Shen Qiye had nothing to do and chatted with Bai Ling, but Bai Ling didn't say much to him. He didn't stop and just said it all the way.

"Many people like to ask me who my master is, and Xiao Xiao is no exception, but why don't you ask?" Shen Qiye suddenly asked.

"If I asked, would you tell me?" Bai Ling asked rhetorically.

Shen Qiye didn't speak, because he really wouldn't tell Bai Ling who Li Xinyue was. He won't tell anyone that the nail he made was to hide Xiao Li's flying knife.

"If you don't want to say it, why should I ask?"

Shen Qiye said with a smile: "In addition to not liking to laugh, sometimes you look like her." If I have the chance, I will definitely show you to meet her. ”

Bai Ling still didn't smile or reply, but frowned slightly. It seems that no matter how a woman who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, when a man says that another woman is good in front of her, she will still be a little unhappy.

Shen Qiye didn't understand much, because he felt that Li Xinyue wouldn't care about this, and women in the world wouldn't care about it. But he seems to have forgotten that no man can say that other women are good in front of Li Xinyue. It's just that even the men who are qualified to speak next to Li Xinyue are pitiful.

So he has already offended two women for this, and one is Murong You.

Xiao Xiao felt that if he hadn't stopped him, the eldest lady would have stepped forward and chopped Shen Qiye a long time ago.

......

Sometimes more than ten days pass quickly, especially this kind of day of sightseeing. On their way back to Jiangnan, the footsteps of the Midyear Festival are also slowly approaching.

Jiaxing, a suburb of the city.

Shen Qiye and the four of them got off the carriage here, and when these four people first got off the bus, it was like they had just come back from vacation, in fact, they had just come back from vacation.

It's just that they didn't want to get out of the car themselves, but they were stopped.

The people who stopped them were naturally Liu Sanqing, as well as those decent people.

Liu San lightly held his plaster hand and stared at the group of idle travelers, the expression on his face becoming more and more ugly every moment.

Xiao Xiao scratched his head and complained: "After the good days, I feel panicked now, and I can be blocked by people as soon as I arrive at the door." ”

Shen Qiye said: "Don't worry, they can't block you for too long." Even, they didn't come to block you, they just happened to block you. ”

Xiao Xiao's head jumped with bruises, and said, "That's really a coincidence, do you want to say that they want to block you?"

"Do I seem to be angry with you when I say such things?" said Shen Qiye with a smile.

"What they want to block is actually the gate of the Sunless City. ”

When Xiao Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. Along the way, he was so angry with the blind man that he didn't even remember the day, but today it was indeed July 15.

All the ghosts entered the world, and the city opened without a day.

Everyone was waiting, everyone was scared, because they didn't know how the gates of Sunless City were opened. But they don't have to wait long, and they don't have to be afraid for long.

Dusk has passed.

They just had to wait for the last remnants of the sunset to be licked clean by the night.
