The reason why Su Zimo did not leave Pingyang Town immediately was because he had to wait for Zhou Dingyun.
If Zhou Dingyun returns to Pingyang Town and cannot find Su Zimo, he will definitely shift his target to the Su family.
The emperor's edict has a great effect on deterring the vassal states, but it may not be useful for Qi practitioners, let alone the disciples of Bixia Palace, one of the five major sects.
If Zhou Dingyun is not dead, Su Zimo will leave without worry.
As Su Zimo said to Zhou Dingyun, from the moment I let you go, I knew you would come back.
However, Su Zimo didn't know when Zhou Dingyun would come back.
But he was willing to wait, perhaps because he was worried about Zhou Dingyun, perhaps because of his nostalgia and dependence on that mansion, the practice field, and a certain person.
This wait lasted half a year.
In the past six months, Su Zimo has not been in a hurry to practice the fourth chapter of the Marrow Cutting Chapter of the Twelve Demon Codex of the Great Wilderness. Instead, he has continued to practice the first three chapters of Body Tempering, Tendon Changing, and Bone Forging to strengthen his physical body and continue to refine the Red Flame Fruit in his body. The sealed essence.
Su Zimo's realm has improved significantly, and the first three chapters are close to completion.
In his spare time, Su Zimo also trains archery in the practice field.
Being able to hit the heart with more than a dozen arrows is the result of half a year of hard training in archery.
After killing Zhou Dingyun, Su Zimo no longer had any reason to stay in Pingyang Town, but felt a little inexplicable loss in his heart.
Su Zimo returned to the mansion and stood at the door, looking at the peach tree not far away, his eyes blurred and unwilling to leave for a long time.
The dark clouds dispersed, the moonlight was like water, and the peach blossoms fell one after another, just like that night two years ago, except that the beautiful woman was not there.
Su Zimo recalled a poem he had read. On this day last year, in this door, the human face and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red color. The human face did not know where to go, but the peach blossoms still laughed at the spring breeze.
When he was a boy, Su Zimo didn't understand the artistic conception of these four lines of poetry.
But now, Su Zimo is nineteen years old, the youthfulness gradually disappears from his face, and he finally realizes the feeling of confusion that things are different and people are different.
Su Zimo will never forget that it was that night, when he was most frustrated, confused, and helpless, that a woman stood among the falling peach blossoms and led him into spiritual practice.
Su Zimo smiled, stretched out his hands, and slowly closed the door of the mansion.
The closed door locked not only the mansion, but also an extremely precious memory of Su Zimo.
This door of memory will only open when you meet that person again.
Su Zimo looked forward to that day.
After a long time, the darkness subsided. Su Zimo took a deep breath and his eyes regained clarity. He took out an animal skin map from his arms, examined it carefully, and strode towards one direction.
Behind him, a ray of light broke through the fog.
The sun rises in the east.
A new day has begun.
…
In the southwest of the Zhou Dynasty, there was an area that was extremely famous nearby.
This place is shrouded in heavy fog all year round. Looking from a distance, it seems to be wrapped in countless unpredictable clouds, misty and dusty, unlike the human world.
Someone with good intentions breaks into the fog to find out what's going on. It won't be long before they return to where they were.
Over time, the nearby villagers also realized that this was a place where immortals lived, and mortals could not approach it.
Every year, in the thick fog, there will be a few days where you can vaguely see a section of the mountain peaks, towering into the clouds and majestic.
Every time at this time, nearby villagers will kneel down towards the mountain and pray for good weather and good health this year.
On this day, a scholar in green shirt came here.
It is not accurate to say that he is a scholar.
This man looked pretty, but he had a long knife tied around his waist and a large blood-colored bow on his shoulder. This look was quite unusual.
The scholar in green shirt is none other than Su Zimo who left Pingyang Town.
Ji Yaoxue's guess was correct, Su Zimo really wanted to worship at Piaomiao Peak.
On the one hand, Piaomiao Peak seems mysterious in Ji Yaoxue's eyes, and there must be something extraordinary about it.
On the other hand, Piaomiao Peak is the closest to Yan State. If something happens, Su Zimo can rush back immediately.
However, on the map, Piaomiao Peak only had an approximate location marked on it. Su Zimo came here and was in the heavy fog, but he couldn't find the location of Piaomiao Peak.
Su Zimo walked for a day and returned to the same place several times without any clue.
In this heavy fog, the line of sight was blocked and the visibility was extremely low. With Su Zimo's eyesight, he could only see ten meters away.
This place seems like a maze, going around in the fog but unable to find the exit.
"eccentric."
Su Zimo returned to the original place, looking at the fog not far in front of him, frowning in thought.
Ji Yaoxue once told him that it is much more difficult to worship Piaomiao Peak than other sects. It not only depends on whether a person has spiritual roots, the level of the spiritual roots, but also other levels. Even many high-level practitioners No spiritual warrior can enter it.
However, this is also what attracts Su Zimo to Piaomiao Peak.
If, like Bixia Palace, recruiting disciples only depends on the quality of spiritual roots, such a sect would not be surprising in Su Zimo's eyes.
"It seems that if you want to worship at Piaomiao Peak, it will take a lot of effort."
Su Zimo vaguely guessed that the heavy fog in front of him might be the first step to enter Piaomiao Peak.
If you can't pass this level, you may not even be able to see the real Piaomiao Peak, let alone join the sect.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Zimo planned to find a place to rest for the night, think about ways to break the situation, and make plans in the morning.
The fog in front of us must be very mysterious, and breaking through forcefully is definitely not the way to go.
There is a small village not far from here. There is a woman preparing dinner, a strong man returning from chopping firewood, a hunter carrying prey home, and two old men squatting at the entrance of the village, playing with a chessboard in front of them. , there are also children chasing and fighting in the village.
A happy scene.
Seeing this scene, Su Zimo felt warm, smiled, and walked quickly towards the village.
"Old man, my Excellency, Su Zimo, is from Yan country. I have no place to stay tonight. I wonder if I can stay here for one night?" Su Zimo came to the entrance of the village, looked at the two old men who were playing chess, and bowed and asked.
The two old men seemed to have heard nothing, as if they were immersed in the game and unable to be distracted.
Su Zimo coughed lightly and asked again.
The two old men still didn't speak. They each held chess pieces and stared at the chessboard intently. Occasionally, they would drop a piece, their expressions solemn.
Su Zimo was a little embarrassed.
The two old men did not respond. Su Zimo entered the village rashly, which seemed a bit rude.
Su Zimo smiled and turned to leave.
With his ability, he can sleep anywhere with the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed.
The reason why Su Zimo wanted to stay in this village was just because in this village, Su Zimo felt the long-lost human fireworks, which was very warm.
Just as Su Zimo was about to leave, his eyes accidentally fell on the chessboard played by the two old men, and gradually froze.
This game of chess is very intense. The two sides are in a stalemate. Every time they make a move or make a slight mistake, the whole game will be lost.
Su Zimo thought that if nothing happened, he might as well watch the game before moving on, so he stood aside and watched the game.
