Weicheng snow

The elixir brewed by the hundred-year-old snow lotus successfully saved the hearts of the three of them. When the army of the Food Marrow Sect was withdrawn and the slightly drunk morning sun rose from the mountains, the hidden disciples returned to their hometowns, crying and crying. After picking up the corpses of former classmates, Shen Sheng and Shen Yi were also treated as corpses and sent to the disciple's tomb. Fortunately, Shen Sheng woke up early so that they would not be buried alive.

Only at that time, he was still in a state of ignorance, his body could not move freely, and only his consciousness was still slightly awake. It was in this state that Shen Sheng overheard the conversation between the elders and Hua Shenchi in the disciple's tomb.

The first thing he heard was the gentle voice of his master, Elder Tianyu, "Sect Master, Shen Chi has suffered such a serious injury, and it is extremely rare to persist in coming back in this state. Tianyu feels uncomfortable." There should be more punishment, at most one more crime of stealing the corpse and going down the mountain."

The suzerain remained silent, but Elder Tianhua, who was in charge of the affairs of the disciples outside the sect, could not accept this request for a lighter punishment, "Of the 3000 people who died, more than [-] were disciples outside the sect taught by the old man so hard. Those in charge of the sect, sad things can't be shared with you, so they uttered sarcastic remarks. If the old man said that using forbidden techniques without authorization is a serious crime, not only should he be punished! He should also be asked to guard the spirit of the old man's disciples for the rest of his life! Three A thousand lives, three thousand living lives..."

Tian Yun, who had lost a group of female disciples, quietly wiped away her tears and sighed, "It is true that he used a forbidden technique, but what he dissected was his own soul, and did not harm others. We are not young anymore, we should understand For these reasons, we can't blame Shen Chi for all the crimes. In the final analysis... It's not that I waited for the pursuit of immortality, and I only knew how to retreat all day long. If I left the customs earlier, I would stop those guardians at the foot of the mountain. The loss wouldn't be so heavy... After all, there is still one person among the Dharma protectors...hey, that's all..."

Elder Tianhua argued emotionally, "But Hua Shenchi is also one of the elders, right? If he didn't hurt himself, but obediently guarded Lingshan, why did the old man lose so many disciples... .Shen Ge...Shen Luo...My dear apprentice..."

Shen Sheng stared blankly at the bluestone ground on which his face was attached for a moment, then moved his head to look left and right, only then did he realize that he was lying in a sea of ​​corpses neatly lined up, the floor tiles under him were cold and covered with ice. His limbs had no strength, he could only lie obediently, unable to say a word, helplessly, he could only observe the situation with his eyesight.

As far as the eye can see, there is a platform carved from a whole piece of bluestone in the center of the huge mausoleum. On the platform lies Hua Shenchi with half-closed eyes and an expressionless face. The rest of the elders and the suzerain are standing around it. Debating how to convict Hua Shenchi.

The suzerain just kept silent from the beginning to the end, allowing the agitated Elder Tianhua to argue with the rest of the interceding elders, because Elder Tianhua's voice was already very loud, and the dispute was more like a gong beating violently. The mausoleum kept echoing like an empty valley, only disturbing Shen Sheng's headache and brain swelling, and his beating heart seemed about to be shattered again.

The elders quarreled for a long time, but at the end someone mentioned "Yi Baixue", and everyone's conflicts were directed at Yi Baixue again. Elder Tianhua no longer cared about his image, and cursed bitterly, even Shen Sheng I feel that the scolding is a bit too much.

"Enough..." Hua Shenchi, who had been silent for a long time, finally uttered weakly, he completely closed his eyes, and lost the strength to keep opening them, "It's none of his business, he He died a long time ago, and let me not care about him anymore. I insisted on going my own way and made a big mistake. I will bear my sins, and I will do the wake that Elder Tianhua said... It's very good here , very quiet..."

Elder Tianyu let out an "Aiya" when he heard the words, and hurriedly persuaded Hua Shenchi to say, "Elder Tianhua is angry, how can you believe it casually, this mausoleum is too dark, and no living person can live there for a long time, let alone you The serious injury has not healed, and it is better to find a place with plenty of spiritual energy to give birth."

Hua Shenchi stubbornly said, "I... am no longer a person... This place is really good, it suits me... This matter is not about Bai Xue, it is all my fault wrong......"

"It's really stubborn..." Elder Tianyu slapped his head helplessly, and asked Tianqing for help, "Sovereign Lord, please persuade your precious disciple, if he refuses to go out, no one will study the classics." Said, those unrecorded prescriptions will also be lost, what about the children who are stained with black blood inside the door?"

Hua Shenchi sneered, "Man, I will save... As for those prescriptions, I won't keep... If you keep them, you can't protect them well... It will only make the food go away. The marrow was taken away..."

Elder Tianhua slapped the table and cursed angrily, "Bastard, who do you think you are talking to! If it wasn't for the suzerain's sake, who would call you such a junior elder?"

Elder Tianyu hurriedly stopped Elder Tianhua, and persuaded, "Enough is enough, you also know that he is a junior, this matter really cannot be said to be the responsibility of one person, you were also retreating when Lingshan was attacked, right? So we all If you have sinned, you should repent.”

Sect Master Tianqing, who had been silent all this time, just stood quietly and stared at Hua Shenchi's face, and asked for the first time, "If I don't erase the name of 'Yi Baixue' from the stone of karma for a day, Are you going to stay here forever?"

Hua Shenchi did not open his eyes, and replied weakly, "Yes... Also, please remove me from Lingshan..."

All the elders were taken aback, and Tian Qing also opened his eyes slightly, "...you have always acted in the most measured manner, and you should know the price of these words."

Hua Shenchi sighed for a long time, "I've thought about it...I've thought about it for a long time...I thought I could protect one person with my ability, but that person Face to death, and after death, I will be slandered by the teacher I respected the most... I thought I could save the common people in the world, but I couldn't even protect three thousand classmates... so If so, what is the purpose of my study of medicine...it doesn't make any sense..."

"Master, what about you? What are you cultivating...for?"

Hua Shenchi's last question has been lingering in Shen Sheng's heart, and has been repeatedly mentioned and thought by Shen Sheng in the past ten years.

Every time he asked himself, he could no longer concentrate on the practice of swordsmanship, as if there was a layer of tulle hanging between him and the bright moon.Through the veil, what he can see is always just a vague outline. He is trapped behind the veil by himself, and he doesn't understand the meaning of looking at the clear moon.So much so that even today, I still can't comprehend the last stance in the sword manual, and I have encountered a bottleneck that I have never had in my life.

Now that Hua Shenchi was right in front of him, he chose to walk out of the mausoleum. Presumably, he had realized the answer to this question. Shen Sheng was eager to ask for advice, and he mentioned the scene in the tomb with Hua Shenchi that day, hoping to get a satisfactory answer. answer.Not wanting Hua Shenchi to hear the words, he just replied indifferently, "Just because he came, he wanted me to leave with him. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

Under Shen Sheng's astonished gaze, Hua Shenchi got up slowly, "If you call me here just to ask these questions, I will go back." Shen Sheng sat there for a long time, until Hua Shenchi was about to walk out of the secret passage , just suddenly got up, and promised Hua Shenchi's back, "Brother! Don't be disappointed in Lingshan, at least Ayi and I have always stood by your side..."

Hearing this, Hua Shenchi turned his face slightly, and gave a slight chuckle, the corners of his slightly raised lips entered Shen Sheng's eyes, and disappeared from sight as the secret passage door closed.Shen Sheng stood there holding the sword for a while, and asked himself, "The purpose of cultivating the sword is...for what..."

When it was almost dusk, Shen Yi finally took the time to fly to Si Xing's side. As soon as she came, she saw Hua Shenchi and Yi Qingchen sitting on the stone benches and drinking tea, this scene came into view , My heart was sour, and before the person arrived, I burst into tears in the distance.

Yi Qingchen, who was still drinking tea, was so frightened that he choked on saliva and coughed uncontrollably. Shen Yi ran to Hua Shenchi while crying, and said in disbelief, "Brother, aren't you dead? They all said you were dead. Could it be that Shen Sheng has been hiding it from me? Wow, brother, you are still alive, great, I must not be dreaming..."

Yi Qingchen comforted Shen Yi for a long time, Shen Yi just stopped crying slowly, but still sobbing, she wanted to ask some more reasons for what happened back then, but Hua Shenchi rejected her after looking at the sky , just felt her pulse, wrote a prescription, and handed it to the bewildered Shen Yi.

Shen Yi tentatively asked, "Brother, are you going to do something?"

Hua Shenchi didn't answer, Yi Qingchen saw this, so he had to explain with a wry smile, "Now that the 'Hua Yaomu' has been found, I have to go back to Weicheng as soon as possible, Master's illness is unknown, although Xiaoqian is taking care of it, But it can’t be delayed any longer.”

Shen Yi folded the prescription, stuffed it into his bosom, and said clearly, "So that's the case, then I'll take the time to ask Shen Sheng, a big liar, for the detailed reason, sir, do you need horses? I'll prepare them for you. "Yi Qingchen said with a smile, "Shen Sheng has already gone to prepare."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Sheng came from the direction of the cable bridge.

When Shen Yi saw Shen Sheng, his eyes widened, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible. Shen Sheng naturally knew that Shen Yi was angry because he had lied to her that Hua Shenchi was still alive for ten years, so he felt guilty and dared not look back. , only looked at the smiling Yi Qingchen the whole time, "My lord, senior brother, the horses are ready and they are at the foot of the mountain. A few distinguished guests will come from the execution side later, so please forgive me for not being able to send them off."

Shen Yi stuck out her tongue at Shen Sheng, "He's from the royal family again, isn't he? Looking forward to Lingshan to protect them."

Shen Sheng smiled wryly to show his acquiescence, Shen Yi shrugged, and stood side by side with Hua Shenchi, "Shen Sheng can't send it, I will."

The three of them walked forward for a while, but Yi Qingchen stopped suddenly. After realizing that he remembered the matter of Boss Shen, he hurriedly turned around and said to Shen Sheng, who was watching everyone off, "Boss Shen, please report for me." It's safe. I'm in a hurry, so I won't take the long way down the mountain to go there."

When Shen Sheng heard his father's name, he just hugged his sword and smiled, "That heartless old man only has money in his eyes, what the hell is he doing?" Yi Qingchen shook his head with a wry smile, "Etiquette is still It must be done." Shen Sheng just agreed very copiously.

Because of the medicine spraying meeting, many people came to Lingshan one after another at night, and many candles were lit on the main road to guide and illuminate the way.In order to avoid the glare of the light and the crowd, Shen Yi deliberately led Hua Shenchi and Yi Qingchen down a small path, and the three soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they found the disciple leading the horse.

The disciple handed the reins to Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi's hands, and the two got on their horses. Shen Yi handed the black gauze hat that he had held all the way to Hua Shenchi's hand, and said, "I heard that Shen Sheng said that senior brother is afraid of light. After thinking about it, opening an umbrella may not be very useful, so let's wear this thing, it's more convenient."

Hua Shenchi took it over, thanked Shen Yi, and rode away with Yi Qingchen, leaving Shen Yi standing there looking at their backs in a daze.Her heart was filled with emotions of lost and found, and tears condensed in her eyes unconsciously. She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it away, and turned to return, but heard the two disciples leading the horse chatting, "The royal family is here, this time The person who went to the prison was right? The rumors are really good..."

Shen Yi just noticed the main road, the crowd is divided into two rows, there are guards in black armor leading the way, a very luxurious Luan sedan chair is carried by eight people, walking in the middle, it is rare to see it The person in the sedan chair can also know the identity of the person just by looking at the phoenix pattern flying on it.

The two disciples leading the horse looked enviously, and couldn't help but be speechless, "Is it true that he came to pick up that guy Ruying? It's really enviable, he was born to be the prince's life, and the broken rules of our medicine sect are just for display. If you want to come to study, you can study, if you want to go back, you can go back, tsk tsk..."

Shen Yi stood there, staring at the phoenix sedan chair for a while, before saying anything, the two disciples turned around and asked Shen Yi again, "Second Senior Sister, you should be the most familiar with Ruying, right? Is it really the second prince?" Shen Yi only looked away when she heard the words, her eyes were a little sad, "What about the prince, we are not on the same side as us, so stop thinking about climbing the dragon and the phoenix." The two disciples laughed, He said "Second Senior Sister said yes", followed Shen Yi and turned back to the Zongmen.
