Being a villain is also popular in the world of self-cultivation

Far away in Minglang Country, in an unknown deep mountain.

Shen Wuhuo was sitting on the ground with his back against the tree trunk at this time, with one leg slightly bent in front of him, and the other stretched naturally, the movements seemed very comfortable.But if you look closely, you can find that he is very embarrassed at the moment.

The dark clothes were full of wrinkles, obviously not changed for many days, and the brows that were always condensed were also a little tired.

At first when Shen Chi left, he followed Shen Chi all the way to the east. The journey was a bit uneven at the beginning. At first, there were bandits blocking the way, and then several big families jointly chased and killed them. It wasted some time. After solving these small troubles, just now He wanted to continue to catch up with Shen Chi, but accidentally fell into an ancient formation.

After two lifetimes, although Shen Wuhuo has studied formations, fundamentally speaking, he is still a pure sword cultivator. The two small formations that Shen Chi was able to break easily before were all because he was in the Outside of the formations, and his own cultivation is much higher than the energy brought by those two formations.

But this formation is different. Judging from the formation method, this large formation has a history of at least a thousand years. extremely high.

Shen Wuhuo rubbed the aching brows, if Xiaochi was here, even if he had no cultivation, it wouldn't take a month to break through.

Thinking of Shen Chi, reaching out to take out the jade pendant from his clothes, Shen Wuhuo's eyes softened a lot.

The coiled dragon on the small blue jade pendant was lifelike, and it was gently placed in the palm of Shen Wuhuo's big hand, which looked extraordinarily clear. From the moment he saw the pendant, he could tell that there was a strand of water on the jade pendant. Another energy outside the protective formation.

This kind of energy is called in ancient books - containment.

As the name suggests, it is attached to a certain formation or spell, which can suppress the fate of the subject.And the combination of the two formations in this pendant is very ingenious, and it can be said to complement each other. It would be absolutely impossible to make it without the use of the formations to a certain level.

When he saw this pendant, Shen Wuhuo confirmed that Shen Chi was not just a chance as he thought, but was... reborn just like him.

Gently clenching his palms together, Shen Wuhuo felt a bit bitter in his eyes.

He treated Shen Chi like that in his previous life, and no matter what the reason was, Shen Chi died because of him in the end, so it's no wonder that he would guard against him and want to get rid of him.

But fortunately, they are still alive now, and... that thing didn't follow.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Wuhuo carefully put on the pendant in his hand again. No matter what it is, this is the first gift Xiaochi personally gave him.

Then he took a closer look at the two spirit stones that were taken out of Shen Chi's formation. Shen Wuhuo's eyes were soft, but his face remained expressionless.

Ever since Shen Chi said that his smile was weird last time, Shen Wuhuo bought a small copper mirror in his hand from a small town he was passing by. After breaking the formation in the past month, he 'smiled' at the mirror countless times, but There doesn't seem to be any progress.

Only now did he remember that in his previous life, he had lived for hundreds of years and never seemed to have smiled.

... It is much more difficult to practice how to laugh than to practice swordsmanship.

Shen Chi smiled very nicely, Shen Wuhuo thought of Shen Chi's current appearance, and the appearance of Shen Chi's previous life reappeared, his eyes suddenly softened, although in his eyes, Shen Chi was the most beautiful no matter what , but no matter what, he couldn't let the person who hurt Shen Chi go so easily.

That Shen Yi, many others, and him... himself.

Taking pictures of the leaves on his body, Shen Wuhuo looked at the eastern sky. The sky was about to brighten at this time, and there was no cloud in the eastern sky, but there was still a hint of red.

It's going to snow.

At this time, more than a month has passed since Shen Chi left.

Early in the morning of Cheng Jianzong's selection ceremony, when the sky broke, many people gathered in the north square of Jingxian City. Most of them hadn't slept all night, but their expressions were not in the slightest tired. A high platform.

The high platform is about one person taller, it looks like white jade, but it is not as smooth as white jade. I don't know what kind of material it is built, it is ten feet square, and it looks empty at first glance, very solemn.

Shen Chi's small figure was squeezed into the crowd, wearing a black cloak that was extremely inconspicuous.He glanced around the crowd, but because he was a bit small, he could only see the hem of various clothes, and he had to raise his head one by one if he wanted to see the faces.

But judging from the current situation, Shen Wuhuo should not have come.

At this time, a person not far away seemed to see something, his eyes lit up, and he struggled to move away from the crowd and moved forward with difficulty.

Shen Chi saw the young man who was not familiar but not unfamiliar at a glance. He saw him passing through the crowd, and stopped in front of him profusely with sweat. His smile was a little wry, and he said, "Hello!" , do you remember me?" After speaking, afraid that Shen Chi would not be able to remember, he quickly added, "My name is Chu Silin, thank you for taking me out of that weird street last time."

When he talked about that street, he still seemed a little scared.

[For a better counterattack, it is recommended that the host and the male partner have a good relationship. 】

[You don't need to say much, I have my own opinion. 】

[Yes, host. 】

After talking with the system, Shen Chi nodded to Chu Silin lukewarmly.

Seeing Shen Chi nodding, a big smile appeared on Chu Silin's face, his eyes were narrowed into crescent moons, and dimples were exposed on his cheeks. He was about to continue talking to Shen Chi, but suddenly he let out a surprise, stretched out his palm, and his eyes sparkled Liang, "It's snowing!"

Thin snowflakes began to float in the empty sky, fluttering and falling on people, giving off a refreshing coolness.

The snow fell harder and harder, and these immortal seekers bowed their heads and shrank, fearing that the wind and snow would pour into their necks. However, as time passed, their heads and bodies were also drenched by the melted snow.

Except for the casual cultivators who watched the excitement, most of the immortal seekers present were young people who had not yet practiced, and most of them were spoiled by their families. Seeing that the snow had fallen for almost two hours, all of them were blue with cold lips. Turning purple, I want to stomp my feet to keep warm, but I can't let go of that bit of demeanor.

"This Chengjian sect is still the number one fairy sect in the Chuling world, why is it so unpunctual?" At this time, a high-pitched youthful voice rang out from the crowd, causing a burst of echo.

"Yeah, it's time to come when we agreed, and it's already time. We've been waiting for two hours in vain, but we still haven't seen him."

"If my mother hadn't insisted on me trying, I wouldn't want to come to this poor place to participate in some kind of disciple selection ceremony. Now it seems that this sect doesn't keep its promise when it selects disciples. How can it teach us how to cultivate immortals? I heard In two years, all the Fuzong Mingfazongs will accept disciples, I'd better go back and tell my mother to go to those two schools and try."

"That's right, it's not that you have to go to Cheng Jianzong to become a fairy! If you haven't come for so long, maybe Ren Dazong forgot about accepting apprentices."

……

After some discussion, the number of people in the originally crowded square dropped by nearly one-third.

Chu Silin's nose was red from the cold. He put his hands to his lips and blew while stamping his frozen feet. Seeing so many people leaving, he moved closer to Shen Chi and lowered his voice, "I heard that every time Cheng Jian The testing methods are different when Zong recruits apprentices, but I feel that this is a strategy used by Cheng Jianzong to recruit students."

As soon as Chu Silin's words came out, Shen Chi couldn't help but glance at him more. The male supporting role should be no more than eleven or twelve years old now. It's really not easy to have such insights. He nodded and said: "Shen Chi .”

"Ah?" Startled by Shen Chi's words, Chu Silin's eyes widened, a little dazed, and then he realized that Shen Chi was saying his own name, and he didn't even care about maintaining the movement of puffing on his mouth The corners of his mouth opened to the sides, and then he grinned wider and wider, and finally fixed into a bright smile that saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes. He said, "Shen Chi, my name is Chu Silin."

"En." Shen Chi's gaze paused on the overly bright smile on the other party's face. He had met this person several times in his previous life, but it was all after the other party had practiced for hundreds of years. Wuhu's right-hand man is calm and polite, his emotions and anger are not displayed, but he has never been as enthusiastic as he was when he was young.

It’s not surprising that Chu Silin reacted like this. He went out alone for the first time this time. When he first arrived in Jingxian City, he accidentally entered the Lingshi City by mistake. , Immediately frightened to cry.

At that time, everyone around laughed, only Shen Chi didn't make fun of him, although his attitude was very cold, he still brought him out of the 'devil's lair'.

It can be said that Shen Chi is in his heart the role of a lifesaver, but it's a pity that this benefactor is unwilling to tell him his name.

Now that he personally learned his name from Shen Chi, how could he not be happy?

Amidst Chu Silin's smirk, another hour passed, and the people in the square thinned out again, and the remaining people were less than half of the original number. Without any accident, they were all covered with a layer of snow, and their faces were pale from the cold.

Shen Chi rubbed his hands under the cloak. At this time, they were so cold that he was almost unconscious. The snow water seeped into the cloak and wet his clothes, and then was blown by the cold wind, and condensed into ice again. A layer of armor made of ice, cold to the bone.

At the end of the noon and the beginning of the wee hours, there were still one-third of the people waiting in the square.

Shen Chi raised his head as if feeling something, and saw a silver sword light appearing in the sky.

The sword light was getting closer and closer, and finally landed on the platform in the middle of the square. It was five sword cultivators in green clothes. He was only wearing a blue singlet.Those snowflakes seemed to have eyes, avoiding several people.

I saw the leading cultivator throwing a jade talisman into the air, everyone felt as if there was a warm wind blowing over their bodies, and the clothes on their bodies instantly recovered to dryness, as if a warm current passed by all over their bodies. I don't know when they stopped, they were all dumbfounded, looking at the cultivators on the stage, it was like seeing a god for a while.I also thought that I might become such a person in the future, and I couldn't help being fascinated.

Feeling the dry clothes on his body in disbelief, Chu Silin stretched out his hand and patted his face, it hurt a little, his hand was hot, he stared blankly at Shen Chi, and asked, "How did you do this? "

Shen Chi raised his head and looked at the 'sky' above his head. The jade talisman that Yun Yu threw just now should actually be a formation. This formation is similar to a protective formation, but it is more comprehensive than a protective formation. For example, this The function of drying clothes is something that ordinary protective magic circles can't do anyway.

I heard that Cheng Jianzong has the most comprehensive secret classics in the cultivation world, and there should be more records of such magic circles in it.Thinking of this, Shen Chi couldn't help but feel hot.

The author has something to say: Shen Chi: addicted to learning, can't extricate himself

Shen Wuhuo: What about me...
