From sunrise to sunset.

The vast and gloomy sky, in the passage of time, the wind blows away, the light and shadow are intertwined and changing, surging away without desire and ruthlessness;

Some people say that there are immortals, Buddhas and gods in the sky, and some people say that the stars in the sky are all immortals, but what kind of Tao is cultivated and what kind of immortal is what kind of immortal is desired, but no one has ever said it to the young Shen Shi.

The day felt long, long.

Following the tall butcher, he left the house, first going underground through a hidden secret passage, and when he came out after a while, he was already in another corner of the city that was completely unfamiliar to him. The butcher took him into an ordinary carriage that had been ready to park and wait for them, and took out two sets of old clothes in the carriage and asked Shen Shi to change into the small one.

Then, with the sound of wheels, this inconspicuous carriage, under Shen Shi's full of worries, easily left the city in such a most ordinary and ordinary way, all the way to the north.

Except for the secret passage that he walked through at the beginning, the whole process of escaping from Xilu City was ordinary and speechless, even if Shen Shi was still very worried about his father who was still in the city, but in the face of this kind of carriage that seemed to have almost no security at all, and seemed to be surrounded and strangled by the disciples of the Xuanyin Sect who suddenly appeared at any time, Shen Shi's heart was always in his throat, and at the same time, he had deep doubts about the ability of this world-famous immortal to do things.

It's just that the imaginary murderous Xuanyin Gate chasers still didn't appear after all, and this ordinary way was so ordinary that it was unexpectedly carried these two people away safely. When the city that had lived for twelve years from childhood to adulthood gradually became smaller and smaller behind him, and when the stars began to twinkle as the night fell, and the tall mountain range finally disappeared into the darkness, and when he was no longer visible, Shen Shi slowly curled up in the bumpy carriage that was still moving forward, hiding himself in the dark shadows.

He had never felt so clearly that he had broken off from the old years.

In the shadows, he gritted his teeth, holding back the worries and fears churning in his heart, only to feel that the future was like the night between heaven and earth at this moment, boundless and overwhelmed, making people cold all over. And the only thing that could bring him some warmth was that there was a small hourglass in the palm of his clenched hand, and the hard jade material penetrated through the skin, as if it still carried the warmth of his father's palm, and the breath of his mother that was even more distant and even only in his imagination.

The butcher, who had been sitting silently on the other side of the carriage, turned his head in the darkness and glanced at the boy.

The wheels rolled, walking slowly but without stopping, and even in the dead of night, this seemingly ordinary carriage had no intention of stopping.

And Shen Shi, who was full of worries, only began to notice that in this carriage, in addition to him and the butcher, there was a third person, that is, the coachman who was driving the carriage.

It was a thin-looking old man, wrinkled, and at first glance he seemed to be an old man overwhelmed by the embarrassment of life, lifeless, who did not react much to anything except the car, and looked as if he was going to fall down at any moment. However, it was such an old coachman, driving this ordinary carriage, pulling the butcher and Shen Shi, and walked for three days and three nights without a moment of rest.

After three days, the old coachman did not seem to be any different from the first day, still looking embarrassed and emaciated. At this time, Shen Shi naturally understood that this seemingly ordinary old coachman was obviously not very human, most likely he was a powerful figure under the powerful Immortal Society, but the butcher didn't seem to have any intention of introducing this person, and even in the past three days, the butcher didn't even say a word to the old man, so in this somewhat delicate atmosphere, Shen Shi also remained silent, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and ignored the old coachman.

When they got out of the carriage, Shen Shi's gaze not only casually glanced at the old coachman, but also deliberately glanced at the thin horse on the carriage...... After walking for three days and three nights, the skinny horse looked like his owner, standing there as if nothing had happened.

Shen Shi had a faint feeling that he seemed to see a tiny corner of another strange world hidden from the sight of his past life.

After walking all the way north for three days, Shen Shi had already moved away from Xilu City, and at this moment he was in a small city that was less than half the size of Xilu City. The ordinary carriage stopped in some secluded corner of the carriage, and the butcher jumped out of the carriage, letting Shen Shi stay in the car, and then strode away.

Shen Shi was a little uneasy in his heart, but he knew that he had no choice, so he could only stay quietly in the carriage and gently put the hourglass in front of him.

The fine sand flows silently, and when the narrow opening of the sand slips from one end to the other, an hour has passed.

Shen Shi silently stared at the flowing sand, and as time passed, his heartbeat began to increase slowly.

Fortunately, however, the worry was over when the sand had only flowed about a quarter of the way, and the butcher's tall figure returned, with a simple nod to the old coachman, and then returned to the carriage.

Grunt, the wheels began to roll again, moving forward again.

In the carriage, Shen Shi looked at the butcher, who was also staring at him, and after a while, he said, "There is no news, in other words, I don't know if that thing has been done." ”

The muscles on Shen Shi's cheeks twitched slightly, and he slowly lowered his head, and then re-grasped the small hourglass on the ground in his palm.

※※※

The same and boring days are repeated again, and every day seems to echo in my ears only the eternal sound of the wheels. In the bumpy carriage, there is always a quiet and stiff atmosphere.

All the way north, all the way north.

He is getting farther and farther away from the city full of his childhood memories and the only relative in this world.

After another three days, they arrived at another small city in the north of Yinzhou, and this time the carriage did not enter the city at all, but stopped directly somewhere outside the city, and the butcher got out of the car and entered the city alone.

When Shen Shi stayed quietly in the carriage and watched the hourglass flow for a whole time, he heard the footsteps of the butcher returning.

The carriage started again, still heading north, and in the carriage, the butcher frowned, met the gaze of Shen Shi, who was a little expectant, and said a little stiffly: "No news." ”

Shen Shi sat in silence and didn't say a word.

The wheels rolled, and they walked for another two days, and at this time, after eight days of travel, they had approached the northern border of Yinzhou, and it seemed that they were close to the boundary of a state southwest of the Hongmeng realm.

The carriage stopped outside a deserted town not far from the border of Yinzhou, and the butcher left for the third time and walked into the town. As usual, Shen Shi waited quietly in the carriage, occasionally looking at the hourglass on the ground and looking at the sand flowing in it, while the old coachman would take advantage of the opportunity to jump out of the carriage and move himself, and then bring some water and food for the lean horse to eat.

It's just that the food in some shabby leather bag doesn't look like the grass that ordinary horses eat, but a bit like a bloody piece of meat.

This time the butcher came back a little faster than the last, and only about half an hour after the hourglass had flowed, and he had returned from the desolate town.

It's just that his face looks a little ugly, and the person seems to have a hint of irritability, after seeing Shen Shi, he didn't even want to say more, just kept a calm face and shook his head.

The wizened old coachman was oblivious to the somewhat dull and strange atmosphere in the carriage behind him, and in his old eyes, it seemed that there was only the skinny horse. After patting the skinny horse on the back affectionately and feeding the last piece of what appeared to be a piece of meat, he got into the car again, rolled the wheels, and continued on his way.

On the ninth day, they crossed the boundary of Yinzhou and entered Lanzhou, which was adjacent to Yinzhou.

On the 10th, the carriage arrived at Tonghe City, a large city in the southernmost part of Lanzhou.

This time, the carriage did not hide outside the city again, but went straight into Tonghe City, perhaps because it left Yinzhou, even though Xuanyinmen was not small, it was still difficult to get involved in another state after all, so the butcher and others also let go of their actions.

The old coachman had obviously been to the city before, and he looked very familiar with the roads in the city, and he drove the carriage all the way through the streets and alleys, and after turning around, he took Shen Shi and the butcher to a secluded mansion.

The two-entry yard is boxy and doesn't look big, but it's clean and tidy. The butcher took Shen Shi out of the car and walked all the way to a room in the courtyard. Behind the two of them, the old coachman looked at them expressionlessly, his gaze lingered on the young man's back for a moment, and then he looked away, fell back to his old man's thin horse, patted the thin horse's head gently, and laughed in a hoarse voice, and said in a low voice:

"It's hard work, don't worry, maybe there will be fresh meat to eat later......"

※※※

In the courtyard house.

After the butcher settled Shen Shi, he did not leave immediately, but stayed in the house for a while, looking at Shen Shi, and there seemed to be a strange look in his eyes.

Shen Shi quickly sensed something and looked up at him.

The butcher was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm going to the Immortal Society in the city to inquire about the news." ”

Shen Shi didn't speak.

The butcher glanced at him, and seemed to be a little difficult to speak, but after a while, he finally said: "According to the agreement before going out, ten days is the deadline, and whether it is successful or not, it is all today." ”

Shen Shi's hand subconsciously grasped and nodded lightly.

The butcher was silent for a moment, and said: "I will go over now, if the matter is successful, I will come back, take you east to Haizhou, fulfill the promise made by the gods to your father and son before, and give you a chance to worship the Lingxiao Sect, but if the matter is not revealed, you will not see me......"

Shen Shi took a deep breath, grabbed the jade hourglass tightly in his hand, and said, "If things don't work out, what will happen to me?"

The butcher slowly turned away, no longer looking at him, and walked out of the house, while his muffled voice came clearly: "If it doesn't work out, I won't come back, and as for here, someone will come...... Dispose of yours. ”

The footsteps faded away, and the door was locked before he left. In the simple room, there was suddenly an indescribable silence.

Disposition, what does it mean?

What will it do?

A heart was pounding in his chest, and suddenly Shen Shi suddenly had an urge to scream madly in his heart, he began to gasp violently, feeling that the air around him seemed to start to become hot and difficult to breathe, this room seemed to have become a terrible cage in his eyes, and he himself was like a desperate beast about to be slaughtered.

In a trance, he suddenly remembered those days, when he followed the butcher to kill the livestock again.

Those sharp howls, the cold and decisive sword light, the blood burst out, cruel and merciless.

The young man's hands began to tremble a little, and the boundless fear was like a tidal wave, pouring in from all directions, threatening to drown him, to make him crazy......

Until, in the corner of his vision, he suddenly saw the small jade hourglass again.

The fine sand was white and delicate, flowing and sliding silently, grain after grain, strand by strand, Shen Shi watched the sand grains flow like water in a daze, and slowly sat down at the table.

The hourglass stood motionless on the table, and the boy rested his head on the table, feeling a chill.

All the qiē seemed to be quiet again, and there was nothing else in his eyes except the flowing sand, just like that, silently waiting.

The sand flowed and flowed, and after it fell once, it turned over again, and the time passed silently, without movement, and no one came.

Finally, when the sand in the hourglass was about to be completed for the third time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance outside the house, from far to near, slowly coming, and finally stopped at the door of this room.

Shen Shi slowly stood up, only to feel that his throat was extremely dry, and his body involuntarily trembled slightly, for himself and for his father, who had cut off the news in the past ten days.

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, strode over, and pulled the door open.

The light outside the room spilled down suddenly, making his eyes squint slightly for a moment because of the bright light, and then he saw the figure standing in the doorway.

It was a thin, withered old man who had driven the carriage and carried him all the way north for the last ten days.

The old coachman looked at the young man by the door of the house, and on his wrinkled old face, he suddenly grinned, revealing a few white teeth, with a bit of gloomy meaning, and laughed.
