It’s Not Easy Being a Master

Chapter 20: See you soon

Views:

Yan Jin really calculated very well.

Such a big mountain of trials is randomly teleported to a corner, without spiritual power, let alone five days, ten days and a half months, can't get out.

This is the third day, and the two still haven't found the formation point.

Shen Zhixian once suggested that since the formation will be activated in five days, he should just stay there for five days, and it will save him from wandering around like a headless flies. He also has to worry about the risk of heart disease attacking at any time. .

As a result, Yan Jin was silent for a moment, but shook his head.

He has not studied the formation method, this time he will change the teleportation formation, and he was taught by Senior Brother Shao from Sanfeng before. He only learned about it... Of course, Senior Brother Shao didn't guess that he was so daring, that he would actually count on his own. On the head of the master.

In short, to put it bluntly, Yan Jin's formation method was not in place. He could only make sure that Shen Zhixian would be teleported to a specific place, and then be teleported back five days later. If it was changed to another place... nothing could be guaranteed.

Shen Zhixian is really... he is so angry that his brain hurts.

He endured his anger and said lightly, "Aren't you afraid that I will teleport over and walk out of the range, and will never get out again?"

This time, Yan Jin answered without hesitation: "The disciple left a letter there, and the master should not walk around when he sees it."

Shen Zhixian: "..."

This bad apprentice, touch his mind very accurately! If he was really sent over and saw the letter, his first reaction would be to not believe it, and then he would find a way out, but if he couldn't find it... he would definitely return to the place before the fifth day.

Shen Zhixian refused to talk to the rebels any more, and walked on a path. Yan Jin silently followed behind him, and only heard the sound of footsteps.

As Shen Zhixian walked, he pondered how to deal with the rebels. Soft can't coax, hard can't beat, or just...

He was fascinated by the thought, and it took a long time for him to suddenly regain his senses. Suddenly, he felt that the journey was extremely quiet today. Yesterday, he could see a few monsters. Today, after walking for a long time, he could not see a single one.

Shen Zhixian vaguely felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a movement behind him. When he turned around, he saw a fat and stout rabbit rushing over, brushing past them, slamming into a tree not far in front of him. When he got up, he flipped backwards, fell to the ground, and didn't move.

Shen Zhixian: "..."

He was about to say that this was not a silly rabbit, but he saw the tree swayed violently suddenly, and then a creak sounded - it was smashed by the middle!

The tree nearly ten meters high fell with a bang, causing countless dust. Shen Zhixian covered his nose and took a few steps back. Watching the fallen rabbit neatly turn over, he jumped onto the tree trunk, with his mouth open, revealing two large die. He started to nibble at the tree, but he didn't finish it in a while.

Shen Zhixian: "..."

excuse me.

Shen Zhixian looked at the big rabbit who was nibbling on the bark happily, he hesitated, and finally decided to take a detour. As a result, just after walking all the way, something on the "bark" suddenly moved.

A grey-black, grey-black flower growing on the bark, the size of a washbasin, slowly protruded out and opened its petals silently.

The rabbit gnawed on it so much that it didn't have time to react, and it was wrapped in the petals that suddenly opened.

The soft but tough petals wrapped the whole rabbit, and the rabbit was struggling inside, and after a while, there was no movement.

The petals wriggled for a while, then opened a mouth again, and spit out a pile of bones, with no meat residue left on it.

It was full, shaking its petals with satisfaction, and was about to slump back to the bark to rest, waiting for new prey, when suddenly there was a flapping sound, a large turtledove flapping its wings, a diving, pointed beak It was so sharp that it seemed to be able to peck a stone into pieces.

It pecked off the stem of the flower skillfully, picked up the whole flower, and flew away happily.

This chain of predation took less than a quarter of an hour.

Shen Zhixian frowned, the ferocity of this monster is not right, the monster in the trial mountain will only be slightly more fierce than ordinary beasts, and the various habits are the same as ordinary beasts.

The tree-eating rabbit, the meat-eating flower, the flower-pecking turtledove... This should not be something that appeared in the Trial Mountain!

He subconsciously thought of Yan Jin, and just wanted to ask, but then he thought it shouldn't be him. Even if Yan Jin is the protagonist, under the eyes of so many people in the sect, it is impossible to get so many strange monsters quietly.

The Spirit Locking Array was still in effect, and without spiritual power to protect him, Shen Zhixian didn't want to take risks and wanted to go back the same way.

The traversing tree, silently pestering in front of them, signaled that their attempt had failed.

The two looked at each other, and Shen Zhixian asked, "Continue walking?"

Yan Jin didn't make a sound, just clenched the sword in his hand a little more.

Next time, it won't be so easy. There are more and more strange monsters, not only the rabbits, flowers, and turtledoves that I have just seen, but also many strange monsters, some Shen Zhixian recognizes, some do not recognize.

Yan Jin was very defensive, with the long sword half-sheathed and ready to attack at any time, but what made them strange was that those monsters were coveting "new food" when they saw it, but when they got close, they would Suddenly panicked, he turned around quickly and ran.

He ran in a panic, as if he was going to be eaten on the spot if he ran too slowly.

Shen Zhixian looked at Yan Jin in disbelief. Could this be the power of the protagonist's halo? The kind that comes with its own coercion and the monsters retreat when they see it

Yan Jin noticed his sight and looked back - why did he think that these monsters were afraid of his master

Several times, those monsters would hit the tip of his sword. As soon as Shen Zhixian turned around and leaned over, those monsters froze instantly, and then ran away in a hurry.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and felt that their guesses were correct.

The monsters ran cleanly. Although the two of them didn't know what was going on, it was good to have less trouble and danger. After walking for another half an hour, the trees gradually sparse. Shen Zhixian squinted and looked not far away, and murmured, "There is an open space."

Looking at this open space, it seems that it is not small.

The more he walked towards the open space, the more Shen Zhixian frowned. Everything around him fell into his eyes, and there was a vague feeling of deja vu.

Has the original body ever been here

He stood in front of the open space and searched his memory for a while, but didn't find anything, just as he pondered, the corners of his eyes suddenly flashed, and he caught a glimpse of something flashing past.

Shen Zhixian raised his eyes subconsciously, and saw a hazy figure not far away, looking at him quietly.

Seeing that face clearly, Shen Zhixian couldn't help showing a surprised look, subconsciously took a few steps forward, and looked at the figure in front of him in shock.

The moment he walked over, the surrounding air suddenly fluctuated, as if something had changed.

When Yan Jin noticed this unusual change, his heart skipped a beat, and he had to follow him as soon as he took a step, but he soon discovered that an invisible barrier had been quietly opened at some point.

It was precisely between him and Shen Zhixian.

Shen Zhixian didn't notice the changes behind him. He stared blankly at the hazy figure in front of him. It was a middle-aged man, Qi Yuxuan with an extraordinary demeanor, wearing a moon-white robe, wearing a sword, standing in the open space with his hands behind his back, smiling. Looking over.

There was love in his eyes.

This face is exactly the same as the face of his master... the former sect master in his memory.

Shen Zhixian tentatively called out "Master", and stared at the figure with his eyes tightly - the former sect master died long ago if he went into trouble, what happened to the figure in front of him!

The figure did not move, even the expression and smile did not change, like a carefully designed picture scroll, although the painting was vivid, it was less angry.

Shen Zhixian looked back, but found that the place where Yan Jin was supposed to be standing was empty. Pushed forward a few steps.

An oddly-shaped gleaming-white object was half-buried in the rubble, attracting his attention.

Shen Zhixian bent down uncontrollably to pick up the object and weighed it in his hand. This is a piece of spiritual jade the size of a palm... No, not one piece, but many pieces.

Countless pieces of finger-sized Lingyu were carved into various shapes, and they were intertwined with each other just right, a bit like Luban locks.

Shen Zhixian liked to play with this kind of small toy very much for some time before, and he spent a lot of time to study it.

This gadget suspected to be Luban lock is more delicate and detailed than what he has solved before, and the solution is slightly different from the general solution... It is somewhat similar to the solution he had figured out before.

Towards the end, the eerie familiarity becomes more apparent. When the last two spirit jades were separated, even the spirit jade that had been removed from the front smashed into fine powder and fell from his fingers.

At the end, only a finger-sized jade green jade was left, lying quietly in his palm, feeling moist to the touch. Shen Zhixian looked at it thoughtfully, and Jasper suddenly radiated a soft and warm light, disappearing into the hazy figure in front of him.

The originally motionless figure suddenly moved.

The wind blew and swept his sleeves, his face softened, and his whole person gradually became full of life. He nodded slightly towards Shen Zhixian, "You're back."

Shen Zhixian looked at him suspiciously, but did not speak for a while.

The figure doesn't seem to care about his reaction, or, in other words, this is an illusion that has been set up long ago, and the figure's every move is carried out step by step, and will not be changed by the reaction of the outside world.

He continued with a smile, "I knew that only you can untie this thing." His voice became kind and gentle, filled with relief and nostalgia, "Sui Jian, you are back, right?"

See you soon.

This name was like a thunderbolt, blowing in Shen Zhixian's heart, causing him to be in a trance.

He couldn't help but took another step forward, his voice trembling, "You... are you calling me just now? You—what are you calling me?"

The figure ignored his words, sighed, and continued: "The me you see now is just a phantom. Xuanji Pavilion once calculated a hexagram for me, and my life is doomed. I don't know how I am now. , I don't know if my disciple Suijian is still well. There is only one point, Suijian, please remember. "

Shen Zhixian subconsciously held his breath.

The figure slowly said: "What should be yours, you mustn't let it. You can't give up what you should take on."

Shen Zhixian was shocked, and in a trance, he seemed to hear a young voice ringing in his ears, full of pride and ambition, full of publicity and wanton belonging to young people - "With me here, Qingyun Sect will not be able to decline, Master You can rest assured and go to old age!"

But as time passed, some people died and could never be seen again, and some people lost their ambitions early.

Shen Zhixian was in a complicated mood, and sourness filled his heart, making him uncomfortable. In the thin wind, he heard his own voice murmur: "I'm back..."

Who is talking, who is back.

Is it him, the original body, or the "Sui Jian" in the shadow's mouth

Shen Zhixian only felt that his thoughts were chaotic, complex emotions and some dry memory fragments filled his head like weeds, making him unable to think, and the gentle and deep voice of the figure was still intermittently entering his ears.

"...Song Ming is still a good boy, but unfortunately he is not capable, he can only be stable for a while but can't go further. I told him before the retreat that if you come back, you should use the token as proof and return the position of the suzerain to you."

"...May your life be smooth and healthy, ride the clear clouds straight up, and travel between heaven and earth without being bound by it."

The silhouette of the figure began to become blurred, and soon it scattered into a faint light, like a firefly flying in the sky, and the voice and smile of the deceased gradually blurred. His eye sockets were sore, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

He is obviously just a foreigner, and he doesn't know what kind of coincidence he got this body. No matter how nice the former suzerain was to "Shen Zhixian", it was also a matter between him and the original body, why is he... so sad now.

Is the original body's instinctive emotions at work...

Shen Zhixian was panting rapidly, unable to suppress this sour feeling of grief. He bent his knees suddenly, and knelt down on the ground full of gravel, even though the gravel hurt his knee and bleed.

"...Goodbye, see you every year."

In the cool wind, the barrier shattered, the figure dissipated, and the sigh-like sound was quickly blown away with the wind.

Only a few words were left, blown by the wind, and sent to Yan Jin's ears.

The barrier that had been hindering him finally disappeared, and before Yan Jin had time to see what happened to Shen Zhixian, he heard the name, his expression instantly shocked, and he looked at Shen Zhixian in disbelief.

Who was Shen Zhixian talking to just now? Who is calling for Sui? Who else is... The name is Sui Jian

Just now he was separated by the barrier, and he could only watch Shen Zhixian standing there, talking to a vague figure, but he couldn't hear the sound. Only when the barrier was broken, did he catch the thing that was enough to affect all his emotions. words.

Countless questions came to his mind, he should have gone over to ask what happened in this short moment, but a little timidity nailed his steps to the spot.

After standing stiff for a while, he walked over with stiff steps. He was always calm and unmoved, and he almost stood on the same foot.

"Master..." He called in a low voice, but Shen Zhixian didn't know his approach and didn't respond.

From Yan Jin's point of view, he could only see his well-shaped lips trembling slightly, not knowing what he was saying. Yan Jin half-knelt down beside him, so the faint, almost angry murmurs entered his ears.

"...Three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, see each other year after year."

The surrounding scene suddenly distorted, and in the fluctuation of spiritual energy, the formation that had been silent for a long time was activated again.
