Villain Rebirth: Immortal Dao Mozun

"Master?" Shi Qian blinked, although his voice was calm, it was hard to hide the surprise in his eyes.

The man was still dressed in white and his long hair was tied up meticulously, but he did not have the usual gentle expression.The long sword energy in his hand has not yet dissipated. It seems that he has just gone through a battle.

Jing Su's eyes fell on the street behind Shi Qian that had returned to normal, his eyes flickered slightly, and he waved back the Chuhan sword that Shi Qian had pressed against the wall in a hurry, and then turned to Shi Qian, but it was much softer, Nodding slightly, "Follow me."

Withdrawing the sword that Jing Su handed over, Shi Qian quickly recovered the exhausted true energy while following Jing Su. The master and apprentice walked in this empty city one after the other, but the two figures seemed extremely harmonious .

"Why is Master here?"

"Investigate the disappearance of the ancient immortals." Jing Su said succinctly. He did come here for this reason, but it was not all. Unhappy, "This place is extremely dangerous, don't be impulsive."

"...Yes." Shi Qian really didn't understand why Jing Su was suddenly upset, but he didn't feel any malice in him, so he responded like this, and didn't think in other directions.

In the last life, Shiqian personally investigated why the ancient immortals disappeared, and found several ruins left by the ancient immortals, but he did not get any useful information.Although in the world of self-cultivation, it is rumored that it was because the Suilu sect split into three major sects 5000 years ago that made it difficult to practice and difficult to ascend, but as long as a cultivator with a certain status knows it, although this is a factor, in fact The most important reason is the inexplicable disappearance of the ancient immortal and the disappearance of the aura of cultivating the world thousands of years ago.

Before the disappearance of the ancient immortals, there was plenty of aura in the realm of cultivators. Cultivators did not need to go through the stage of Qi training at all. As long as they had spiritual roots, they could embark on the path of cultivation. Demonic cultivation and Taoist cultivation were not as incompatible as they are now. With the Huangluzong as the leader and the Demon Cultivator as the leader of the Slaying Heaven Sect, the world of comprehension can be described as contending among a hundred schools of thought, and it is a grand event.

Thinking of seeing the three big characters written in the above ancient immortal characters on the city gate, Shi Qian raised his eyebrows, and instantly determined in his heart that the disappearance of the ancient immortals was closely related to the disappearance of the demon world.After all, it is said that the ancient immortals also had their own realm, but ever since the demon realm disappeared ten thousand years ago, it has never been heard that the gate of the ancient immortal realm has opened in the human realm.

At this time, the master and apprentice were already in the center of the city. There was a huge staircase ten miles in front of them. It was pure white as a whole, and it seemed to glow white even in the shadows. Layers of white stairs stretched upwards , as if the edge cannot be seen.

Roughly from the outside, this should be an altar. It is out of place with this city, giving people a strong sense of disobedience, as if it should not have existed here.Shi Qian noticed that the same patterns were engraved on every step of the altar. The patterns were fine and dense, and the carvings were shallow. If you were not careful, you would not be able to find it. There was a strange power in the patterns that he couldn't describe.

Although this altar is also mentioned in the original book, it is just like this city deliberately hidden by the author, leaving only an illusory shadow.

Withdrawing his eyes from the altar, although Shi Qian was a little strange, he didn't have much curiosity, not to mention that it's better not to try to touch these ancient things before their strength reaches a certain level, he doesn't think that he is the protagonist. protect.Walking behind Jing Su to the palace further back, Shi Qian didn't notice that Jing Su, who was walking in front of him, looked at the altar with a special expression.

Bypassing the altar, a majestic and gorgeous dark gray palace appeared in the field of vision. The strong visual difference made people feel extremely shocked.

"Follow closely as a teacher."

Shi Qian only had time to glance at the exterior of the palace before hearing what Jing Su said. Of course he understood what his master meant, and quickly replied: "Yes, master."

Although Jing Su's appearance reassured him a lot, in this weird city, it was impossible for Shi Qian to lose vigilance and follow Jing Su without missing a step, even stepping on Jing Su's every step. over footprints.

Knowing that Shi Qian understood what he meant, Jing Su's face softened slightly.

Jing Su is obviously very familiar with the environment in the palace. Every step he takes seems to be on a specific point, with a strange rhythm. Fortunately, Shi Qian has an amazing memory, otherwise he would not be able to keep up with Jing Su's movements.

The interior of the palace is just like its appearance, every detail shows its luxury and grandeur, the exquisite carvings everywhere have not faded under the ravages of time, Shi Qian even smelled a strange fragrance, he knew this smell, in his previous life He once obtained this kind of incense in a relic cave. According to records, it was passed down by the ancient immortals thousands of years ago, but he never thought that this incense would not dissipate for thousands of years.

Before Shi Qian could figure it out, Jing Su signaled him to stop. At this time, the two of them had arrived at a small garden inside the palace. From the outside, there was nothing strange about this place. There was a spring on a rockery. It is gurgling downwards, falling into the small pool under the rockery, making a crisp sound, the water in the pool is quite clear, and there are many golden fishes, big or small, wagging their tails happily, poking their heads out from time to time Come and look at the visitor curiously.

Seeing such a lively life suddenly in this lifeless city, Shiqian's first reaction was not joy, but——strangeness.

At this moment, a bead emitting blue light appeared in Jing Su's hand and quickly threw it towards the pool.

If Shi Qian hadn't been paying attention to Jing Su, he might not have found the bead the size of a mung bean.Although the bead appeared for a very short time, Shi Qian recognized the bead—Jasper Lingzhu, this kind of bead that can be called a spiritual weapon is actually a kind of monster inner alchemy called Lingmu bird, That kind of monster has a very small body. It is said that its eyes can see through any disguise, and its cultivation is generally around the Jindan stage, but it is extremely difficult to catch.Although the Jasper Lingzhu can destroy all illusions, it is only a one-time spiritual weapon, so there are very few cultivators who are willing to spend a lot of effort to hunt and kill Lingmu birds.Shi Qian didn't expect Jing Su to even have this thing.

In a short while, the small garden just now disappeared, and what appeared instead was a dilapidated courtyard overgrown with weeds.

Could it be that they have been in an illusion?Shi Qian frowned, thinking so in his heart.

"Truth is illusion and illusion is reality, don't think too much."

"Yes." When Jing Su guessed his thoughts again, Shi Qian was not surprised at all.He also understood what Jing Su meant to explain to him that this city was not an illusion.

The aura emanating from this courtyard was very similar to that of the altar, but it didn't give Shi Qian a sense of disobedience. It seemed that it was built in this palace itself, but it was hidden for some reason.Needless to say, there is a story in it.

There is a dead tree in the courtyard, which can be identified as an acacia tree. There is a dry well and a piece of land in the courtyard, and there is an upside-down rotten wooden barrel beside the dry well.Shi Qian seems to have seen such a scene: under the warm sunshine in the morning, in this courtyard, a young man in white is carrying a wooden bucket to water the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and a man in red is standing under the silk tree, playing the flute, and the wind blows slowly , the two looked at each other and smiled.Obviously that smile seemed extremely happy, but Shiqian felt inexplicably sad.

This strange emotion that appeared out of nowhere made Shi Qian wake up quickly, thinking that he was shocked when he saw the picture just now, he was actually affected by the past emotions that were so easily dissociated here.

In some vacant buildings or specific locations, if the previous owner's obsession is too strong, some emotional fluctuations and pictures of the year will be left behind. Usually, these pictures will become more blurred with the passage of time. I have encountered it before, but it has been blurred by the passage of time, and I can only feel a faint obsession, but it has never been more clear than now.

It should be an obsession tens of thousands of years ago, but why did it stay for so long?

As you go deeper into the courtyard, like a story composed of continuous fragments, more pictures emerge.

The young man in white loves cleanliness, so the man in red built this courtyard for him; the two planted the acacia tree together, planted grass and played the flute in the courtyard together, the traces of their happiness are so obvious, year after year, the acacia The tree grew from a sapling to a towering tree, but for some reason, it never bloomed once.

In the next scene, the young man in white quarreled with the man in red, and left angrily.Afterwards, the young man in white disappeared, and the scene changed to a man in red drinking under the silk tree. He must be very drunk every time.Once when the man in red was drunk, the young man in white came back and stood silently for a long time.

The last scene Shiqian saw was the acacia tree, which was full of strangely red flowers, which seemed to be stained with a layer of blood under the sun, and it was terribly gorgeous, but it was only for a moment, and those flowers quickly fell to the ground and dissipated , The tree has also changed into the current appearance in the courtyard, standing there alone, as if waiting for something, it has not changed for tens of thousands of years.

After reading all the stories calmly, Shi Qian was puzzled. Although the faces of the two protagonists in the picture were not clear, he could still understand the lingering atmosphere between them. He subconsciously glanced at Jing Su and found that the other party was normal. Then he went back and continued to think about the connection between this picture and the ancient immortals and demons.

And because of this, Shi Qian didn't see the smile that flashed in Jing Su's eyes when he turned his head.
