It's Not Easy Being a Master

When Yan Jin glanced over, Shen Zhixian's heart tightened, and his footsteps stopped immediately.

The slender young man held a sword in his hand, turned around indifferently, and saw that it was Shen Zhixian, so he relaxed his expression slightly, and said, "Master."

This Master shouted very naturally, no different from the past.Shen Zhixian settled down, and after a while, he stepped up again, walked over slowly, and said as he walked, "You have also entered the secret realm..."

He stared closely at Yan Jin, not letting go of any expression on the other's face.But Yan Jin was the same as usual, except for her eyes, which were as red as blood, there was no other difference.

Seeing Shen Zhixian approaching, Yan Jin retracted the sword and sheathed it, turning her bright red eyes as clear as glass, and said softly, "Is Master not injured?"

"No." Shen Zhixian caught a glimpse of his bloody hand from the corner of his eye, and paused, "What's wrong with your hand?"

He held Yan Jin's wrist very naturally, and examined the hideous wound on it.

In order to wake herself up, Yan Jin cut the wound deeply, and the whole palm was covered with blood, which had almost solidified at this moment, and looked a bit embarrassed.

Shen Zhixian frowned, pulled out a veil from his arms, and was about to treat Yan Jin's wound.

Just when she was about to wipe the blood around her with a handkerchief, Yan Jin grabbed her wrist, stopped Shen Zhixian's movement, and pulled her hand out: "I accidentally cut it just now, a small injury. Master, don't worry about it."

Shen Zhixian frowned even tighter, and said in disapproval: "Such a big wound, what should we do if we encounter it later?"

Yan Jin shook his head slightly, put his hand down by his side, curled up his fingers slightly, and raised his eyes to look into the distance: "It's okay. Master, this place is weird, let's go ahead and have a look."

Shen Zhixian looked at him steadfastly for a while, without moving, and said: "Ah Jin still minds that I conceal my identity? This is not my original intention. It was really a distraction when I saw you a few days ago."

Yan Jin turned her head to look at him, her expression was serious, and she took the posture of a respectful and polite disciple: "It doesn't matter, Master can do whatever he wants."

Shen Zhixian narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he turned around and walked towards the opposite direction Yan Jin pointed, saying: "When I came from there, I saw some interesting things, you happened to be here, let's take a look together."

He didn't care about Yan Jin's response, and after walking a few steps on his own, he heard the sound of Yan Jin following - not far or near, following up with a few steps, walking a little behind him.

Shen Zhixian tightly squeezed a jade pendant in his hand, and continued walking calmly.

He returned the same way, but this way was different from when he came.

The dense fog gradually dissipated, and the surroundings showed an ordinary mountain forest, with flowers, grass, trees, and rocks, on the muddy road, and even vague footprints—it looked like human footprints, and there were quite a few.

Shen Zhixian put Lao Gao's heart at ease a little bit, and someone could say it.

He was just thinking about it, when he heard a faint human voice coming from a distance, it seemed that there was more than one voice, noisy.

Shen Zhixian couldn't help speeding up his pace, walked a short distance, walked out of the woods, and suddenly saw six or seven young people squatting on the side of the road busy digging mud, talking and laughing loudly.

"Hey! Gathering Spirit Fruit!" One of the gray-robed men suddenly shouted in surprise, dropped the wooden branch in his hand, and carefully dug out a palm-sized piece of green grass.

There was a small yellow-orange fruit on the root of the grass, but it was only the size of a finger, but he regarded it as a treasure, and took it off very carefully, not caring about cleaning the mud on it, and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently inside.

He didn't chew it, he swallowed it whole, and then sat cross-legged on the spot, digesting the fruit.

The people around were all attracted by his shout, seeing his behavior, not only did not despise him, but sighed enviously.

"This guy is really lucky, he can find good things every time..."

"That's right, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, which makes us jealous!"

"Hahahahaha, yes... Hey, I'm afraid there is nothing here, let's go, go over there..."

The group of people walked away talking and laughing without disturbing the young man who was meditating on the spot.

The fruit was actually just an ordinary spirit-gathering fruit, which contained spiritual energy, but not much, and the man in gray robe digested it after running around for a while.He opened his eyes, saw the surroundings were empty, laughed, patted the dirt on the front of his clothes nonchalantly, and stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something, and when he turned around, he accurately caught the movement from Shen Zhixian's side.

"Huh?" He heyed suspiciously, as if he was surprised by the sudden appearance of people here. After looking at them for a long time, he walked over and greeted them heartily: "Are you new here? I haven't seen you before."

Shen Zhixian was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed something, he was startled, and swallowed back the words he was about to blurt - the man in gray robe was looking at Yan Jin from beginning to end.

In his words, there is only one word "you", not you.

Yan Jin didn't seem to notice anything. Seeing that Shen Zhixian didn't speak, he calmly replied to the man in gray robe: "Yes."

His tone was cold, and the man in the gray robe didn't care. He glanced at them, glanced at the way they came, and asked with interest: "Where did you come from, did you see anything good?"

"Never."

The man in the gray robe clapped his hands and invited: "Then let's go together? My companions are gone, and it's boring to be alone. With a companion, we can still talk on the road."

Yan Jin couldn't make this decision, he turned his head to look at Shen Zhixian, and asked softly, "What do you think, Master?"

When Yan Jin asked this sentence, the gray-robed man froze immediately, looked at Shen Zhixian suspiciously, and asked uncertainly, "You... who are you talking to?"

When he looked over, his eyes were full of confusion, Shen Zhixian's hair was cold, he pursed his lips, and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

The man in the gray robe didn't even blink his eyes, as if he couldn't see Shen Zhixian at all. After looking here for a long time, he turned his gaze back to Yan Jin in doubt: "Here... is there someone?"

Shen Zhixian was about to be asked so that the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Yan Jin didn't answer him, he frowned for a while in doubt, and suddenly realized: "Ah! I see, this is the person who just arrived!"

The man in the gray robe said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I almost frightened myself. Newcomers are like this, and they will see their shadow after a while... Hey, let's go together?"

He seemed to be really afraid of being lonely, and he insisted on inviting Yan Jin to go with him. Yan Jin looked at him coldly, but he didn't back down, counting the benefits of going together.

Shen Zhixian asked: "What do you mean 'all newcomers are like this'? What happens after a while?"

His voice was not low, and he deliberately raised his voice because the gray-robed man was talking continuously, but the gray-robed man seemed to ignore it, and he still spoke up.

Shen Zhixian tugged at Yan Jin's sleeve.

So Yan Jin repeated the question, interrupting the long speech of the man in gray robe.

"Hey, people who just came here are invisible, and it will take a while to show up." The man in gray robe scratched his head and explained: "Some days, months, or even years, the more powerful people, the later they can see."

"What's the principle? Days, months, years... How long have you been here?"

This question stumped the man in the gray robe. He pondered for a while, and then said uncertainly: "I don't know what's going on, anyway, after staying for a long time, I will know these things. As for how long we stayed here How long...it's been a long time."

He counted for a long time, but he couldn't remember the time at all. Finally, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "How long does it matter? Anyway, there is plenty of spiritual energy here, and there are many good things. You can stay as long as you can...Let's go, Let's go there together!"

Countless thoughts ran through Shen Zhixian's mind, and finally followed the gray robed man to take a step forward.

Of course Yan Jin would not refute his decision, seeing him move, she also took a step.

The man in the gray robe was overjoyed. He thought that the newcomers must be unfamiliar with this place, so he walked in front naturally, and said as he walked: "You guys who just came here don't know, this place is so precious. I just dug up a spirit-gathering fruit..."

He rambled on, boasting about this place, fully expressing his willingness to linger and forget to return.Shen Zhixian listened for a while, and asked Yan Jin to ask a few questions, his heart sank even more.

This group of people has stayed here at least in years—this is by no means someone who just entered the secret realm today.

But there are many rumors from the outside world that this secret realm has never been opened!Even everyone has never seen this secret realm!

Where do these people come from?No matter how good the secret realm is, no matter how many treasures there are, they have stayed for so many years, are they still unwilling to leave?

Or, are they unable to leave at all?

"How did you get into this secret realm?"

"How do you get in? Ah, it depends on how lucky you are. I was practicing around, and suddenly I came across this secret place... Ugh." The gray-robed man pondered for a moment, then described: "It floats A lot of fog came down and rolled towards me, and I just felt cold all over, and I was brought in."

This is exactly the same as what he experienced just now!

The pensive look in Shen Zhixian's eyes became more and more obvious. He stopped talking and just listened quietly to the man in gray robe.I also met a few people along the way, and the gray-robed man obviously knew them, greeted them familiarly, and then went their separate ways.

The three of them walked together, and after a while they came to a stream.

The water in the stream was very clear, and a strong deer was swimming upstream with its head down, drinking the water.

The man in the gray robe suddenly regained his energy, and happily made a silent gesture: "Shhh, I'm lucky today."

He observed for a while, and saw that the deer was immersed in drinking water, so he suddenly jumped up, his five fingers turned into claws, and a black air lingered around his fingertips. It was cold and strange, and he grabbed the deer neatly. Twist his neck violently!

One kill!

The deer didn't even cry, and died unexpectedly.The man in the gray robe grabbed the antler and dragged it over to claim credit: "This stuff is great! It's delicious!"

He couldn't see Shen Zhixian, and he didn't have any scruples when he walked this way, the deer was dragged by him and almost bumped into Shen Zhixian, Shen Zhixian took two steps back calmly.

The man in the gray robe dragged the deer and threw it on the ground, and told them kindly: "No matter what it is, the neck is the most fragile, and you can die if you twist it... If you encounter it in the future, twist the neck That's it."

He hummed and began to handle the deer, Shen Zhixian watched him take out a knife, skillfully peeled off the skin and bones, and took two steps back calmly.

that deer...

Not a deer at all!

In the eyes of the man in gray robe, it was a bloody deer's head, but in Shen Zhixian's eyes, it was just a gray skull!

As for the deer body...it's just a mass of black air so thick that it's almost solid!

The gray-robed man cut off a few large pieces of black air meat, and said, "I'll go wash it." Then he walked to the stream to wash off the blood.

While washing and washing, he let out another "huh", quickly dipped into the water, and caught a swimming fish with thick and long arms.

"What a fat and tender fish!" He praised, easily unscrewed the head of the fish and threw it aside, and tidied up the fish together.

The fish head fell under Shen Zhixian's eyes, and it was a skeleton of a fish head, bloodless and fleshless.

Not long after, the gray-robed man packed up his things, took Yan Jin to light a fire together, and started grilling meat and fish.

He seemed to be used to doing these things. After a familiar meal, he began to gnaw on the meat, and comforted Shen Zhixian as he gnawed: "You just came here, and you haven't seen your shadow yet, and you can't eat these things yet. After a while You can eat now."

Shen Zhixian looked at him gobbling up a strange cloud of black gas, feeling horrified - no, no, forget it, he won't want to eat such a strange thing in a while!

Just thinking about it, Yan Jin also started to eat meat in silence.

Compared to the man in the gray robe, he ate very properly, just like usual. Shen Zhixian pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Is it delicious?" The gray-robed man couldn't help boasting vaguely while he was feasting, "It's a great tonic! It's a pity that I can't eat it..."

He raised his head and grinned towards Shen Zhixian. Shen Zhixian's back suddenly stiffened, and it took a while for him to relax casually.

— Skull.

For a brief moment just now, the gray-robed man's head also turned into a skull.

There is no blood or flesh, only a cloud of black air lingering on it, I don't know if it is his original, or he has eaten the black air.

It's creepy.

The situation is unknown, Shen Zhixian can't make a rash decision, but fortunately he can't eat and drink these weird things.

Shen Zhixian, who couldn't eat and drink, sat quietly at the side, and when the two who could eat and drink had their fill, it would almost be dark.

There is no place to rest here, the three of them found a relatively clean place to rest, and planned to rest.

The man in the gray robe monopolized a tree, and Shen Zhixian and Yan Jin were under the same tree, leaning against the trunk to rest.

Shen Zhixian closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, pretending to breathe slowly and slowly, as if he was already in deep sleep, but actually he was secretly paying attention to the movements around him with extreme vigilance.

All was well in the first half of the night, but Shen Zhixian's spirit had been tense for too long, and he was a little tired. He could only barely stay awake by pinching his palms. Suddenly, Yan Jin beside him moved slightly.

His movements were very slight, but Shen Zhixian was always on guard against him, paying attention to his movements all the time. At this moment, his mind froze, and he immediately suppressed his drowsiness.

Yan Jin didn't do anything either, he observed Shen Zhixian carefully, his calm and indifferent gaze wandered from head to toe, and after a while, he raised his hand.

Shen Zhixian suddenly crushed the jade pendant he was holding in his hand.

This jade pendant looks extremely hard, but it is actually just a thin shell, which seals a lot of spiritual power.After Shen Zhixian was crushed, the spiritual power inside instantly swam around him, forming a short-term barrier, blocking Yan Jin's hand that was about to touch him.

There was a slight sound of zula, like the sound of meat being roasted on the fire, Yan Jin quickly withdrew her hand, staring closely at Shen Zhixian with a pair of red pupils, and then quietly sat back in her seat after a long while.

Shen Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of the next day, the three of them took a rest, and the man in gray robe led them to continue walking.

Shen Zhixian didn't move, and pondered for a while, then said to Yan Jin casually, "Let's go separately, and we can find more good things faster."

He originally thought that Yan Jin would not agree, and he had already thought about what to say next, but Yan Jin looked over unexpectedly this time, and nodded almost without thinking: "Master, if If you want to separate, then separate."

Shen Zhixian stared at Yan Jin for a while, the latter's expression remained the same, his eyes remained respectful, seeing him not moving, he called out again: "What's wrong, Master?"

"It's nothing." Shen Zhixian smiled slightly, no longer entangled, turned around without hesitation, chose a direction opposite to theirs, and walked away.

He walked calmly and naturally at the beginning, he took a detour, and after making sure that the two people behind him could no longer see him, he silently quickened his pace.

Yan Jin...

He was roughly sure that Yan Jin was a fake at all, and he didn't know who was going to pretend to be Yan Jin to deceive him.

Shen Zhixian didn't feel any malice from this fake Yan Jin, but obviously this fake Yan Jin didn't have any good intentions towards him either, he seemed determined to lure Shen Zhixian somewhere...

I don't know where the real Yan Jin is... He should also enter the secret realm, Shen Zhixian thought quickly, no matter how bad it is, it would be great if he could find Duan Yuan!

He walked quickly.The surrounding scenery was similar, and Shen Zhixian couldn't tell which road was safe, so he walked randomly based on luck. After walking for half an hour, when he turned another small road, he was suddenly startled and stopped abruptly— —

Another scene reappears.

Not far from the path, a familiar figure appeared in front of him again.

Shen Zhixian only took one look, then turned around and walked in another direction without hesitation, but this time, after walking a few steps, another figure stood there.

After changing directions several times in a row, it was the same scene.

Shen Zhixian stopped in his tracks, and then he heard many footsteps coming from all directions - those "Yan Jin" were approaching him!

Shen Zhixian took a deep breath, turned in a certain direction, and ran away!

The last time I ran like this without spiritual power was when I went to Siguya to meet little Yanjin when I first passed through the book.Shen Zhixian was panting from running, and while thinking about it bitterly, fortunately, he knew that his spiritual power was not stable, so he had been consciously training himself.

Otherwise, he should have gotten down by now!

Those "Yan Jin" seemed to know that he had run away, and chased after him one after another. Shen Zhixian could hear their voices, empty, calm, indifferent, and one after another.

"Master..."

"The disciple is here..."

"It's dangerous there..."

"Come here quickly..."

Shen Zhixian's scalp tingled when he heard that, there was a "Yan Jin" who was probably running close to the direction he ran out of, so he was so close to him that Shen Zhixian could even hear the sound of his clothes being flapped by the wind.

As if close at hand.

This feeling is very bad, Shen Zhixian looked back hastily, and sure enough, "Yan Jin" with red eyes and indifferent expression was already very close to him, and he would be able to catch him by running a few more steps——

There was another fork in the road ahead, and it turned into the mountains.The not-so-high hill stands on the side of the road, completely invisible to the situation on that road.Shen Zhixian gritted her teeth, turned a corner decisively, and turned into a side road.

As soon as he turned the aisle, a figure flickered in front of him. He was caught off guard and couldn't stop in time, so he slammed into the arms of that person!

The nose was sore from the bump, Shen Zhixian gasped, and out of a physiological reaction, the sockets of his eyes immediately turned red.

Before he could react, the "Yan Jin" behind him had already chased after him, and the person he bumped into immediately put his arms around his waist, pushed him to the side, and then slashed out with a sword.

The cold sword light split "Yan Jin" instantly, and it dispersed into a black mist in the wind.

Shen Zhixian's heart was pounding, and he couldn't tell if it was because he ran too hard just now, or because he was too nervous.

Panting, he slowly raised his head, meeting the eyes of the person holding him.

Another Yan Jin.
