Chapter 320: On the eve of the storm

The day was spent in peace, watching the sun rise and set, and when the sky gradually darkened, Shen Shi, who was sitting in the cave, exhaled softly. In the silent mountain valley, it seemed that it was about to fall into a deep sleep again, and all the sounds were quiet, except for the rustling of the occasional mountain wind.

There was the sound of Xu Xueying's gentle breathing behind her, Shen Shi glanced back at her, only to see that she was sleeping deeply, her face was more ruddy than this morning, and it could be seen that the injuries on her body were indeed improving. In some dim light, the sleeping girl's face was unusually serene, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Shen Shi's shirt was still covered on her body, perhaps because of the previous movement of her body, and the corner of the clothes had slipped off her chest. Shen Shi sighed softly, walked over and grabbed her shirt to help her cover it, then stared at the girl and shook his head silently.

After Xu Xueying suddenly said those words to him during the day, Shen Shi was really a little stunned at that time, maybe a vicious demon beast suddenly popped out of this cave at that time may not have surprised him so much. However, for Xu Xueying, these words seemed to be a bit like her catharsis, after saying that, she quickly felt tired after excitement, excitement and initial joy and shyness, and then it didn't take long for her to suppress her sleepiness and fall asleep again.

Maybe she was just too scared, in the most desperate moment of despair, when she was seriously injured and on the line of life and death, she suddenly saw Shen Shi, and suddenly saw the hope of life, so she was so excited......

Shen Shi thought like this with a little headache, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, but he felt something, turned his head to look outside the cave, and then stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave.

In the dim evening night, the mountains and forests were lonely, and suddenly a white shadow jumped out of the forest, it was the snow fox, trotting all the way to the bottom of the cave, and then jumped up, jumped to Shen Shi's side, and called out several times, looking very happy.

Shen Shi was taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his face, leaned down and smiled, touched the fox's head a few times, then hugged it, and said with a smile: "Why are you chasing here? It's amazing, I originally wanted to go to the Yellow Phosphorus Mountain early tomorrow morning to see if I can find you." ”

The snow fox rubbed his head against Shen Shi's palm, looking very happy, Shen Shi teased it for a while, and then took it back to the cave. At this moment, looking at this fox and Xu Xueying, who was lying on the ground and was seriously injured but still saved his life after all, Shen Shi suddenly felt that his trip was not in vain.

Sitting down with the snow fox in his arms and jumping very cheerful and joyful, Shen Shi stroked its soft fur, leaned against the stone wall on one side, and after a while, slowly closed his eyes. The snow fox also quieted down and lay down beside Shen Shi, but he didn't fall asleep immediately, but looked around with a pair of eyes, and gradually a faint trace of green light flickered, first looked at Xu Xueying, who was sleeping in front of him, and then turned his head and stared at Shen Shi deeply.

There seemed to be a hint of thought in its eyes, but after a few moments, the greenish light faded, and the fox yawned, curled up its big furry tail, buried its head underneath, and soon fell asleep.

At the same time, in Kurogi Castle.

Of course, the scene of a bustling city and a deserted countryside is not the same, even if it gets dark, the most lively long street in the city is still quite lively. The Immortal Club branch is one of the best, but after all, it is night, and the flow of people is still much less than the most lively time during the day, and many of the clerks in the store are relieved, while dealing with the few remaining customers, looking forward to the early arrival of the closing moment.

So at this time, the atmosphere in the hall of the Immortal Club is undoubtedly relaxed, but compared to the front area, the back hall that should have been quieter and more peaceful is very different from usual at this moment.

The shopkeeper's study, which he only entered when he had an important matter, was now brightly lit, and there were five people sitting or standing in the room, but there were more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard outside. What is strange is that the clothes on these people are probably the same or similar, but they are divided into two distinct parts, one side seems to be only four people, and the other side is more than ten people, silent to each other, but the faint one with more people seems to be more vigorous.

In the study, it seems that it is also divided into two sides, three people on one side, and the one sitting in the middle is the old shopkeeper of the Immortal Society's branch in Black Wood City, and the two people standing next to him are one young and one middle-aged, just the two people who answered questions when Shen Shi came to hear the news the last time. And the two people opposite the three people, one of them sat opposite the shopkeeper, short and fat, with a gentle face, but there was a faint momentum of not being angry and arrogant in a pair of eyes. Behind him stood a man with a lean demeanor, his eyes as cold as a falcon, and his momentum seemed to be completely different from that of the Terran monks who usually walked on the streets.

If there is a comparison, it is likely that the ordinary monks are like sheep, and this man is like a beast that eats man.

On the side of the branch of the Black Wood City Immortal Society, the old shopkeeper is old and experienced, and he looks quite calm at the moment, but the two people behind him have a faint unnatural look in their expressions at this moment, especially when the cold and compelling gaze of the man standing behind Humpty Dumpty swept over, as if it was like a hungry wolf demon beast suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he felt like he was about to pounce, which made people feel chills in his heart.

The old shopkeeper turned his head slightly, looked at his two subordinates, then shook his head, sighed, and said to the Humpty Dumpty man sitting opposite him: "People in small places have not seen much of the world, so let the shopkeeper Shen see the jokes." ”

This Humpty Dumpty turned his face at this moment, and it was Shen Shi's father, Shen Tai, who saw him smile slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Song said he was laughing." Most of these brothers came from a savage land back then, and they were quite wild, and it was normal for you to be unaccustomed to it. As he spoke, he paused, his gaze swept over the faces of the two people, and finally fell on the face of the shopkeeper Song, and said,

"Shopkeeper Song, as I asked before, where did that young man named Shen Shi go, do you really not know?"

Shopkeeper Song had a solemn face, and said solemnly: "That's true, you and I belong to the same sect for a while, Brother Shen, you have the handwritten book of Zhou Lao Immortal, and you will never dare to deceive you." ”

Shen Tai waved his hand and said, "Shen didn't mean that, he just didn't hide it from Brother Song, in fact, the young man that day, he was my only son in this world." ”

Shopkeeper Song and the two people behind him suddenly changed their faces slightly, their faces were shocked, and they said, "I see?"

Shen Tai smiled bitterly and didn't speak, and after a while, the shopkeeper Song suddenly frowned, and said, "This matter may also involve a certain Yuan Dan Realm Great Cultivator, Brother Shen, do you know?"

Shen Tai raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes drooped slightly, as if at this moment, he suddenly seemed to be touched by the words of Shopkeeper Song and touched a certain memory in his heart. After a while, I heard him suddenly smile faintly and whisper:

"The great monk of the Yuan Dan Realm, he is so powerful. ”
