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

On the tenth day of the Zongmen test, outside the Qianshu Peak Valley.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflects the mountains and forests into brilliant orange, tired birds return to their nests, and half of the moon reveals its figure from behind the peaks.

"There is still half an hour, do you think Shen, little uncle can come out in time?" A disciple who first completed the task and came out asked others in a low voice, perhaps because of the fate of the previous ten or so disciples, he said immediately When it came to Shen Chi's name, he changed his name.

"I think Xuan, the task this time is not easy. The young uncle is so young. I met him once in the forest before. Depending on the situation, his mission has to go deeper in the forest. It seemed that there were still people following him at the time." Behind him, I tried to remind him that he was coming, but he walked too fast."

"It doesn't matter, even if he doesn't pass, we still have to call him Junior Martial Uncle, right?" Another person interjected, "But it seems that Elder Ming Li didn't show up, is there something wrong with this?"

As soon as this statement came out, the more than ten disciples present realized that apart from a few guardians and Shen Wuhuo, Ming Li, who was originally rumored to have great expectations for Shen Chi, was not there.

Could it be that Mingli repented?

Also, although I don't know how Shen Chi was promoted to the early stage of foundation establishment within three years, but he is the most difficult in the legend, and it is impossible to even wash the spirit root. It is lucky to reach the foundation stage. It is impossible for Elder Li to accept such a hopeless disciple.

"I came out yesterday. Uncle Wuhuo has been standing there without moving. Is he waiting for someone?"

Just when everyone was discussing, they suddenly felt a chill down their spine. When they looked up, they saw Shen Wuhuo looking over.

Shen Wuhuo turned his gaze back to the forest again. His figure was straight, half of his face was buried in the shadow, and the remaining half of his expressionless face looked very cold.

In half a quarter of an hour, a few more disciples came out of the forest one after another, but Shen Chi was still not seen. Huo remained expressionless.

Looking at the remaining red clouds in the sky, a Dharma protector cupped his hands towards Shen Wuhuo, "The time is coming soon, Uncle Wuhuo, may I ask you to gather the disciples?"

Shen Wuhuo's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "There is still half a cup of tea."

At this moment, they heard a rustling in the forest in the distance, everyone was startled, and looked sideways at the forest.

The man was moving very fast, and in just a few blinks of an eye, he appeared in the sight of everyone from a distance in the forest. After seeing the man clearly, the crowd was in an uproar, but it was Shen who they had always thought was impossible to come out. pool.

There is only one sentence in their minds: this is impossible.

It's not that they looked down on Shen Chi, but that none of the disciples who came out of the Qianshu Peak Valley was more or less wounded, but Shen Chi was clean and ruddy until he fell in front of everyone. Most people have not come back to their senses.

The first thing Shen Chi saw was Shen Wuhuo. In fact, it wasn't that he paid attention to him deliberately, but Shen Wuhuo was too eye-catching. It has always been like this in past and present lives.

"Clang clang clang..." The bell rang for the completion of the test.

At this time, there is still a layer of red clouds remaining in the sky, and the sunset surrounds the peak. I don't know if it is because of the sunset. Amazingly soft.

Shen Chi took a look, but subconsciously looked away, and in the blink of an eye, he found that the other party was still as cold and calm, and there was no tenderness at all.

Including Shen Chi, there were about twenty people who passed the test. Shen Chi glanced at it, and found that as long as he had found fault with him, as well as the ten or so disciples who looked at him strangely before the test, none of them were here. .

Those who picked on him were easy to say, except for the few people who entered the forest, none of the ten or so disciples had met him before, and none of them had disappeared.

Thinking of the task jade slips he got from those people, Shen Chi looked at Shen Wuhuo again. He didn't expect Shen Wuhuo in the early stage of practice to be so...protective?

But Shen Chi is unwilling to be anyone's "short", especially Shen Wuhuo.

Seemingly unaware of Shen Chi's gaze, Shen Wuhuo looked at the disciples and said, "The test is over, please wait here, someone will come to guide you to the inner gate after a while."

As soon as Shen Wuhuo's words fell, he saw Yun Yu coming with his sword, "I've seen Master Wuhuo." He first saluted Shen Wuhuo, then turned to Shen Chi, first gave a surprised cry, and then suddenly realized , His eyebrows were full of joy, "Congratulations, little uncle, for passing the test."

"Thank you." Shen Chi replied with a nod. He was not surprised by Yun Yu's surprise just now. Back then, Yun Yu could recognize Shen Wuhuo's pure spirit body at a glance in the ruined temple, so naturally he should also recognize his current aptitude.

Yun Yu didn't ask much, after congratulating Shen Chi, he turned to Shen Wuhuo again and said, "Then I'll take the disciples away, and I'll leave it to you, Junior Martial Uncle."

Shen Wuhuo didn't say anything, but turned sideways in the direction of Shen Chi, but looked at the open space not far away. In the next moment, a cold and solemn figure suddenly fell from the empty place.

Just looking at the appearance, the figure of the visitor was comparable to that of Shen Wuhuo, if it wasn't for the fact that their appearances were really mismatched, the two of them would be as if they were looking in a mirror.But relatively speaking, perhaps because of his cultivation, the aura of the visitor was much stronger than that of Shen Wuhuo, and as soon as he landed, he attracted everyone's attention.

The disciples who were about to leave were startled suddenly, then overjoyed, bowed deeply to the visitor, and said loudly: "I have seen Elder Mingli!"

"Excuse me." Ming Li nodded slightly, then walked a few steps towards Shen Chi, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm here to pick you up as a teacher."

Hearing Ming Li's self-proclaim again, Shen Chi's heart trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously held the other's hand.

"Hiss..." Seeing this, the onlookers were shocked, and many of them couldn't help rubbing their eyes, for fear that they might have made a mistake. Elder Mingli, who had never been close to anyone, actually stretched out his hand to others. shot?

Only Yun Yu, after the initial shock, turned to look at Shen Wuhuo. When he found that the other party was still expressionless, he couldn't help being startled. It stands to reason that any elder brother would be shocked when he saw his younger brother being so close to others. It should be shown.

Could it be that his previous guess that the two brothers had a good relationship was wrong?Impossible, although Shen Chi doesn't seem to be very close to Shen Wuhuo, but Shen Wuhuo really likes Shen Chi, otherwise he wouldn't listen so seriously every time he talked about Shen Chi, and these few days In the past year, besides retreating, he also saw Shen Wuhuo running to the outer door many times.

Shen Wuhuo must have investigated Elder Mingli long ago, so he was so relieved, and finally Yun Yu came to such a conclusion for his guess.

The sharp hand was as warm as Shen Chi's impression, Shen Chi turned his head to look at Shen Wuhuo, "Brother, I'm leaving."

Shen Wuhuo's expression seemed blank for a moment, and then he nodded and said, "Okay."

After the master and apprentice left, Yun Yu also left with all the new inner disciples, leaving only Shen Wuhuo in place. After a long time, it was already dark, and he slowly raised his hand , I saw that his right hand, which was lightly clenched into a fist, slowly opened, and in the palm of his hand was a coiled dragon jade pendant. It looked like the one Shen Chi had given him before, but the color had faded a lot. There were many more thin cracks. He held it up to his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and then sighed.

In the past three years, if he hadn't constantly channeled spiritual power into it, it might have been turned into dust, but even so, it might not last long.

After getting on the flying sword, Shen Chi let go of Mingli's hand, and stood silently behind Mingli. It was already late at this time, and looking down from the sky, under the moonlight, Chengjianzong was faintly visible, looking very quiet.

Shen Chi inexplicably remembered the sight from behind when he and Mingli left. He didn't understand it just now, but now he realized that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the animal he raised in the magic palace in his previous life. At that time, it looked at him with such pitiful eyes.

But... Shen Wuhuo would have such eyes?Thinking of this, Shen Chi couldn't help but feel a little cold for no reason.

Flying Sword stopped on a wide cliff, surrounded by jagged rocks, a few dwarf pines coiled on the edge of the cliff in the distance, the thin leaves were rustling by the whistling mountain wind, nighthawks circled leisurely around the mountain .

Seeing Shen Chi looking at this place, he said sharply: "This is the back cliff of Yulan Peak. From now on, it will be the place where you practice your sword. It's getting late today and you're tired. I'll show you this place tomorrow."

After speaking, Ming Li stopped talking, took Shen Chi to an open place, and handed something to Shen Chi.

I saw a small model of a pavilion between the bright and slender fingers, which looked very delicate. With Shen Chi's knowledge, he naturally knew what it was. This thing was called Lingfu, and Shen Chi had obtained it by coincidence in his previous life One, but that one is far less complete than the one in front of me.

At the beginning, Shen Chi's incomplete Lingfu was only a low-grade spirit tool, which caused shock in the cultivation world, and countless people fought for it. Now Ming Li has come up with a more refined and complete one. Shen Chi is actually It's level can't be seen at a glance, but at least it should be around the top-grade spiritual weapon.

Seeing Shen Chi's puzzled expression, he said sharply: "This thing is called Lingfu, and it can be used as a residence. You can live there for now, and I will find a better one for you as a teacher."

"..." This kind of treasure was downplayed by the other party as an ordinary residence. Shen Chi didn't think that Mingli was showing off. After all, he could tell that such a magic weapon as Lingzhu was a small thing, so this thing should not be mentioned. Shen Chi Chi didn't pretentiously refuse, and reached out to take the small pavilion, "Thank you, Master."

Seemingly very satisfied with Shen Chi's title for himself, seeing Shen Chi taking over the Lingfu, he said sharply: "You can recognize the master after you inject spiritual power, and you should rest early. In addition, I see that you seem to be interested in alchemy. I have opened a pill room for you, if you have any questions, please ask me."

Shen Chi was startled when he heard the words, he was indeed interested in alchemy, but how did Mingli know?

"Tomorrow I will engrave your name on the Zongshi. Do you have a Taoist name you like?"

"No."

"That's called Wuchi, it's okay to be late and leave late, okay?"

Leaving must be late, which has the meaning of Double Ninth Festival, and this day happens to be Shen Chi's birthday. In the previous life, besides his mother, he only told one person about this date, and that was his master. Hearing this, Shen Chi suddenly raised his head to look at Ming Li, but he saw that the other party didn't look strange at all. Although he had already confirmed in his heart that the other party was the master in the previous life, it is absolutely impossible for Ming Li in this life to know his birthday, it must be a coincidence. , Thinking of this, Shen Chi nodded and said: "Yes."

After Mingli left, Shen Chi poured his spiritual power into the Lingfu. After recognizing the Lord, he raised his hand and threw it away. The small house that was originally big enough for him to hold with one hand suddenly turned into a three-story attic with all the pavilions in the front yard and back yard. There is even a small lake in the backyard, in which palm-sized carps jump out of the water with a plop, shaking their heads and tails.

Shen Chi's gaze paused on those carps of various colors. It should be a high-grade spiritual weapon that can feed animals.

Pushing open the door, the hall is very exquisitely and elegantly arranged, and the side room is the alchemy room that Ming Li mentioned earlier, inside the alchemy furnace and alchemy materials are everything.

Shen Chi looked casually, and finally his eyes fell on the medicine shelf behind the alchemy furnace. On the sign under the medicine box, the word "Gu Guo" was impressively written.
